Okay so in the Statehouse videos that most of my content has been about, it’s established that Northern California and Southern California are different, right? Anyways, we also have, and hear me out, Utah. He has had two personifications: the Elder Utah character and the more recent one, which looks more like a dad kind of character. So in my mind, Utah started as just the Elder Utah but he eventually splits into the new dad character and the Elder Utah character. I feel like the new guy is the guy who would be married to Illythia and has six kids but Elder Utah, I feel like, is a closeted boi with LOTS of internalized homophobia. This is just how I think of it, you don’t have to see it the same way.
Pearl dying and being a Copper Golem again after being bummed about losing it the first time has the same energy as Grian realizing him and Scar are soulmates in Double life in that, in both cases, the Universe is like “Encore, again, again”
Okay so apparently the fandom I’ve been posting about is super small because people who’ve liked some of my Statehouse head canons/posts are reading the same stories that I am on Wattpad. Like, I made a comment on this one part mentioning how I’d posted an example of a head canon they’d made on my Tumblr (I don’t know who thought of the idea first but I posted my head canon before she did hers, which was pretty similar but sort of a broader statement than mine, which was a specific scenario). And people said they KNEW WHICH HEAD CANON I WAS TALKING ABOUT. I also asked what the persons username was that posted it and they said mine so... If you’re one of those people and you’re seeing this... Wassup?
A rendition of me and my friends watching the end of the Vengeance Saga
Poseidon: How will you sleep at night
My friend: with his wife 😏
Odysseus: Next to my wife.
The entire fucking room: *screaming*
Do you ever just
*gives peach blossom to beloved one*
*On a call*
Richie: I hope you understand that I’m not paying attention to anything you’re saying
Bill: Oh, I kn-know. I f-feel like you would’ve said s-s-something if you realized I was t-talking about how this guy I’m d-drawing sh-sh-should be grateful that I’m accidentally giving him large, asymmetrical, eyebrows.
Richie: *hysterical laughing*
*later on the same call*
Bill, to the drawing: Okay, I’m g-gonna erase the line art. Time for your f-f-face to get a whole lot uglier!
The only bad thing about Gem and Joel's team up is, well, they actually have the means and the skill and the luck to do it.
But, you know, if a team makes it to the end, there can only be one.
And we've seen that except... they aren't the type to give the win to the other, they worked too hard, too proud of their skills, and it would feel like a disservice to the other to try and hand it off.
They aren't the type to sling bloody punches at each other in a cactus ring, begging for apologies and singing their sorrows.
They aren't the type to promise an honored deal with crossed fingers only to turn and twist and laugh maniacally as they betray due to the desperation of time ticking inevitably away
They aren't the type to twist bitterly and finally end up together, one reaching only finally so they aren't alone for the other to throw it away in what they think is what is wanted
They aren't the type to dance around and ignore hearing that the other doesn't want the win, ignoring it because they don't want to be alone only for the other to die silently without realizing and left wondering
No
Either of them could win. Statistically Joel has beaten Gem more than she has him, but that doesn't mean she can't win, Joel gets flustered easy. Joel tends to get more reckless and take the long shot that pays off, but Gem tends to flounder if caught off guard.
I think, if they are at the end there will be no promises or honor duels or gifted or taken wins, I think they'll just lunge. Not like a desperate wolf bites, but as an acknowledgement to who they are as people, bloodthirsty and fun and wanting to win. Maybe they will, at best, mention fight club and maybe negotiate the same rules, leather or no armor with wooden swords, but this is not an honor battle of forced apart partners nor is it a grief stricken apology to make the game end.
And I think one of them will die laughing as they go. Maybe disappointed but proud because they almost got the other and they did it together
If you are going to interact, please Reblog instead of Like. Likes do nothing! I appreciate it <3
Me, sobbing: Please, can we just get something done
My ADHD: Everybody do the flop!
Something about Gem somehow getting beef with everyone she considered an alliance but just rolling with it is so funny to me. Like, Cleo burned her house, Martyn killed her, half the server has tried to kill her and from their perspectives, it feels so serious but from Gem's perspective, she's just vibing
Guys I listened to the Ithaca saga and I cried, I hate it here
I noticed a while back that the first act focuses a lot on the Just a Man motif and the second act focuses a lot more on the Monster motif and I was like “he’s gonna bring Just a Man back for the final song isn’t he” and then HE DID.
