[rollaroundincompliments]

Okay obviously what K did is fucking insane but also a perfect escalation of their "I can fix him" energy from season one and the extreme consequences of that belief

[oynonrings]

I am chewing on the description of the Matron of Ravens being "panicked... and maybe a touch cowardly." hell yeah, give me tender, bleeding flesh on the god that used to be human. give me humanity underlying the monstrosity of the divine. for the god whose whole deal is hiding her face and name behind her mask, let that facade slip in the way she's so afraid of because now, something else scares her more.

Iskall is now the ambassador of both the 'Fuck Around and Find Out' club, and the 'Fuck it, we Ball' association, congratulations.

If you're not up to date, let me fill you in:

His new big idea to officially say goodbye to Joel (not that he hasn't done that like 3 times already) is to dig a stereotypical 'Tunnel of Love' under his own base, trick Joel into a boat with promises of a silly new fishing glitch, and drop him into it. They'll then ride through it while listening to a custom record disk of Iskall singing "When We Were Young" by Adele, acapella, with dispensers that fire flowers and fireworks. Finally (possibly) they'll enter separate boats at the end to figuratively and literally 'part ways'.

The tunnel itself is straight, bare, TNT-bored, and decorated by occasional spams of various pink, magenta and red blocks though it's 80% stone. The ceiling is covered in cherry leaves hiding froglights (bought from Etho's shop).

There have also been discussions of various custom paintings, including but not limited to:

Edits of him and Joel

Him and Jimmy (at the end of the ride, to show he's moved on)

Lizzie and/or Etho but crossed out

A quote from Iskall: "Do i ever go too far? No. If anything I should go further-"

May I remind you all that this man has several hundreds of diamonds of housing investment for flats that he has yet to build?

I love minecraft youtube

now that I think about it writing carmen to have what canon acknowledges to be nearly lethal pregnancy complications for the sake of giving johnny and miguel something to be upset about/building the team and then having her wave off her near-death experience as soon as they arrive because she just loves karate so much and doesn't want her almost dying to get in the way of their victory was an insane decision. just cartoonishly misogynistic

there is some kind of heartbreaking parallel to be drawn between clark after his first appearance as superman realizing what was happening with everyone clamoring for his attention:

"They all want a piece of me, Pa. And I - I don't know how to deal with it." (Superman: The Man Of Steel #21)

and the way ma and pa's guidance is what gets him through that, whereas with kon, we know:

"I guess that's just it, Martha... You didn't raise this boy!" (Adventures of Superman #501)

kon never got that kind of support or guidance. he didn't know any better about all the attention he was getting. clark saw the mob descend upon him and said, "Everybody had something they wanted me to do, to say, to sell..." because he had 20+ years of life experience and parents who raised him to be kind, but aware.

kon, meanwhile, within his first few weeks of being alive, had:

"...saw the Superman fly by an' wanted to meet him, so we just kinda thought we'd drive off the bridge, y'know?"

"The boy is my target?" "Hello? Yeah, it's done. Just remember - the kid's all mine!"

"Nothing happens that Lex doesn't know about almost instantly! Think how that could help you! Plus, we could work together every day! Wouldn't that be fun?"

"Before you get... too well acquainted, I'll need your John Hancock, son."

"You're using him, Vinnie!" "Simply following your lead, my dear. Or can he only be twisted around your finger to further your career?"

(all caps from Adventures of Superman #502)

just like with clark, everyone is clamoring to use kon for their own ends (aos 502 is a little hard to read because of it, honestly - tana, vinnie edge, rex (using roxy too), and mae and lex, one after another). except that kon never had parents to teach him what to look out for. kon is two weeks old and everyone wants a piece of him, and he doesn't even realize it.
