Legacy of the Scythe headcanons, I guess

Yesterday I said that I had headcanons about the Ender Dragons in Legacy of the Scythe. Now my brain is itchy, so, reader, if you don’t mind, I’m going to yap at you for the next 2 minutes.

In Legacy of the Scythe, the weird glowing golden energy that allows Failboat to turn into a giant cat in Divergence301 (wait… Ray, if you are reading this, this works really well with your headcanon about Miitopia Boat. Anyways) is called the Power of the Scythe. Problem is, it’s called that by the dragons too. Why? How? Aren’t dragons just overgrown lizards, which are strictly quadrupedal creatures? How would they swing a scythe?

The idea is simple (?): shapeshifting.

There is literally no evidence to back this up, and shapeshifting inherently makes the idea very complicated, but it’s the best explanation I have for this other than admitting it is a byproduct of poor writing. (I would rather be sent to the timeline where the chicken nugget wins the commission contest before giving up and accepting that.) So why do we only see them as dragons now? I think that the Power of the Scythe has some sort of shape-changing abilities built into it, since Failboat is able to switch between different artstyles depending on the universe he is in when other characters cannot. (With some minor exceptions: Rapper Failboat’s crew. I’m guessing that Rapperboat has something to do with the 2D-ification of those characters.) When Failboat’s ancestors took the Power of the Scythe from the dragons, they lost the ability to shapeshift. Now, they have even more of a reason to be angry at the players- they took the Overworld and the dragons’ ability to have opposable thumbs. They can’t really do anything about it either, is what I’m interpreting from their non-interference in the race. I mean, one of them could have just snatched it off the platform at the end.. but they didn’t, for some reason. And all that leads up to and finally boils over in Legacy of the Scythe.

Scythes are.. kind of an F-tier weapon, even excluding guns. Why a scythe, and not a sword or an axe if we restrict ourselves to Minecraft tools? Well, maybe, using a scythe is the most efficient way to channel it. For humans, anyway. I’d think that for something like a big dragon, they could just use it without something to direct it through no biggie. But for a dragon in human form, or a regular human, it gets a little more complicated. The reason that a scythe is used is partially tradition and partially because the big blade at the end makes it easier to use the ability to travel into other universes it grants. (that is a whole ‘nother discussion lmao, I imagine the multiverse travel thing as involving the literally cutting through the fabric of space and time trope) So yeah.

To reduce my screen time, I have weaponised my overactive and entirely impractical levels of empathy for inanimate objects. Wym you’re picking it up again? While it was sleeping? You complete and utter monster, let it rest!!

And it works. It works like a CHARM. Silly problems require silly solutions!

assuming that people like you and want to spend time with you is crucial to making friends. unfortunately this is the hardest thing to do in the world

I hate 2 say it but being a part of a “weird” subculture does not meaningfully inoculate you against a conservative moralizing impulse. You gotta unlearn that. Saying “cringe is dead” is not enough, you have to actually be okay with things that discomfort, perplex and/or disgust you.
