Haymitch will really just carry all his lost allies with him forever. He blames himself for a lot of them.

He abandoned the Newcomers for the plan. Wyatt died protecting Lou Lou. And then Lou Lou died on his watch not long after. Because he thought something as familiar as the bee balm flowers couldn't be dangerous.

He promised Beetee a quick, painless death for Ampert, only for Ampert to have one of the most gruesome deaths in the entire series.

Maysilee died only a few feet away from him, both having an understanding they actually don't want to split.

Him leaving Wellie alone to find wood so he could get her back to health, after she told him not to leave him, only for Silka to chop off her head.

His mom and brother burning to death because he didn't fill up the cistern on his birthday.

Him putting the gumdrops in Lenore Dove's mouth without looking at the bag.

live footage of me remembering that plinth is a real word relating to masonry and not a made up name (suzanne you genius) but then also remembering the actual definition (a piece of stone at the base of a column or statue, only ever intended to support/prop up something else) (I’m going to scream into the void)

Congrats!! I like your analysises(?) and I've been meaning to ask you this for a while, but what do you think this panel means?

Thank you for your question!! This is actually my favorite Astolfo panel and this chapter in general is brilliant actually. I’d love to talk about it in depth sometime soon. My interpretation of this panel was Astolfo’s self-hatred manifesting into a very striking image. In chapter 58, we see Astolfo attempt sui@ide because he blames himself dearly for the massacre of his family.

So this panel shows how he wishes he died that day. It’s also interesting that his head is being sliced by Roland’s blade instead of a picture of him dead under a group of vampires. This seems intentional and could mean he finds himself undeserving of Roland. Undeserving of salvation because Astolfo is under the impression at this point that Roland has abandoned him. His God has left him so he should’ve died like the vampire boy Roland slayed in saving his life. Since to Astolfo he is just as guilty.

Finally the words themselves “Who do we kill next?” is showing Astolfo’s spiral into self-destruction. As killing is what gives his life purpose now. Paladins killed the vampire boy’s family so the boy killed Astolfo’s family. Now Astolfo is continuing the cycle of violence and he knows this but breaking it means forgiving himself.

Something he cannot find the strength to do.

Ice king is a really good character because they intoduce him and you're like "haha what a freak what's wrong with him" and then the show goes "oh! You want to know? Let me show you :)" and you end up just sitting there like

You! Fanfiction writer!

I hear you wanna remove a canon female love interest from a M/F ship for the purpose of your fanfiction, eh?

Well before you turn her into a raging bitch for absolutely no reason, WHY NOT:

“He just wasn’t into her like that but they’re still friends”

“They tried dating and decided it wasn’t what they wanted”

“She didn’t actually know him that well and after some time she realized she wasn’t actually that interested”

“He had a habit that was a total deal-breaker, no hard feelings though”

“One of them got a really good job offer somewhere else that they couldn’t turn down and have since moved on”

“Turns out she’s gay”

“Turns out HE’s gay”

“One of them wanted kids and one didn’t”

“They had different long-term goals”

“They tried dating and realized they saw each other more as family and it was super weird and uncomfortable, like kissing your sister”

“Neither one of them was in it for the long haul, it was more of a friends-with-benefits deal”

“Dating one another was what made them realize they’re BOTH gay”

“They weren’t compatible in bed”

“One of them was more career-driven than the other”

“By the time one of them confessed the other had already started a relationship with someone else and they’re doing really well”

“One of them has a beloved pet that the other is deathly allergic to so the distance kinda broke things down”

“They wound up working for the same company with a zero fraternization policy”

“One of them is the other’s boss so dating would be unethical”

“One of them is focusing on themselves right now”

“He’s actually kind of a loser”

“They couldn’t communicate their needs”

“He wasn’t actually all that attractive after all”

“You misunderstand, they are each other’s wingman”

”You misunderstand, they are each other’s beard”

“You misunderstand, they faked the relationship so they could marry for citizenship/tax purposes/political reasons”

”They ARE together but they’re both into the third party”

”They ARE together but they’re cool with each other seeing other people”

”They’ve been faking the relationship to evade an excess rental expense on their shared apartment”

”They’re not in a romantic/sexual relationship, they just got that queerplatonic swag”

“Their parents got married and the step-siblings thing gave them the ick”

“You thought they were flirting? Dude that was ironic. What, you don’t flirt with your friends?”

Lady Normalgirl, how old is your eunuch? Have there been others before him?

He’s 13-14 (unsure bc he was a rescue) and he’s the first eunuch (cat) but not the first member of lady normalgirl’s court!
