#life... happened

Remember when Ronova said that Xbalanque is "the most selfish being she ever met" or something like that.

(Okay turns out it's "greediest human" but shhhh it's still the same vein.)

I have an interpretation of what this 'greed' actually meant, at least, narrative/meta-wise.

"But Radaedan, Ronova called him greedy because she was touchy that he could corner her and bargain for more power-" That's what I mean meta-wise!!!😁 This interpretation surely isn't what the utterer meant, but if you see it from a narrative lense, it could've any other meaning!!! I'm just adding my own!!!

Okay, I interpret this as Xbalanque being greedy the way little children are.

Greedy in the way little children often monopolize the role of the 'hero'. Always wanting to save the world. Always wanting the applause and the acknowledgement. Always wanting the power.

Greedy in the way little children would force their friends to take the role of the 'villain' for the sake of their friendship. "C'mon, you will do this for me, will you? The story wouldn't be complete without you."

The way they need them to be 'evil' so they have someone to fight, someone to save people from, someone to be 'hero' about.

Okay can you see my vision? Xbalanque, who monopolize the decision of Natlan’s future into his own hands without consulting with anyone, not even his friends, and doomed Och-Kan into the road of tyranny? Forcing him to take the role of the villain for the next Pyro Archon, just like what Lanque did to Och-Kan's uncle, Xiuhcoatl?

[Astral Vulture's Crimson Plumage/Chasca's signature weapon. Telling the story of the Scarlet-Eyed Youth, the 2nd Pyro Archon, and his comrade and love interest Sakkuk.)

The 'selfish/greedy' theme also continued in the next generation... I know it's probably just Sakkuk being touchy that her crush would leave her forever in the Primal Fire, but I find it interesting that she called him selfish too... hmm...

This reminds me a little of Rene, whom always played the dragon role with his friends. Mayhaps, he developed a saviour complex and planned all of that Narzissenkreuz insanity because deep down, he wanted to play the hero... but that's a topic for another day.

Two Pyro Archons being called selfish... I wonder when will Mavuika get her turn, considering all her actions and personality only show her as selfless...

But then again, this is just my interpretation! Feel free to add your own!

shoutout to the guy who after unsuccessfully hitting on my sister and being politely declined asked her "is it okay if i ask your brother instead" and when she said yes gave me a long and searching look before sighing and going "no. i am not drunk enough to go for a dude. but you look like an angel" happy bisexual pride to this man and this man only. hope you figure it out soon king

"you're the writer, you control how the story goes" no not really. i wrote the first sentence and then my characters said "WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE" and promptly swerved into an electrical fence.

it wasn't actually as funny in my brain as I felt like it was so it had to become funnier through art

Damian: I quit Robin.

Tim: You can do that???

Jason: First I’m hearing about it.

Dick: Aww Dami what superhero name have you picked now?

Damian: I will become a doctor.

Dick: …

Dick: YOU CAN DO THAT??

Jason: You’ve done it brat. You’ve escaped.

Tim, still muttering: You can quit Robin? How long has it been?

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

sorry guys, you're like twenty feet from shore, you're basically dead already.

(also I choose to believe that Malleus just spends the rest of the event with ham on his face. it's better that way.)

(seriously, I can't wait for this poor couple to excitedly get all dressed up in their wedding best and embark on the most romantic day of their lives, only to suddenly have Malleus Draconia pop up out of nowhere, covered in ham and Grim spit, and scream "BOAT! BOAT! LA LA LA" while gently misting them with a dinky little novelty water gun...in the name of LOVE)

(this event is amazing)

(RIP Grim though)
