Wulf studies using the OG style and then mine

[geekgirles]

Ironically, I feel we, as a Phandom, don't talk about Sam's Friend to All Living Things status enough.

Hera and the Wedding Dress

Just saw a post saying there was no point in Hera wearing that wedding dress when she confronted Wulf.

There was every point.

A major part of Wulf's motive was vengeance for not only his father's death, but Hera's "arrogance" in rejecting him. His father's death and Hera's rejection were intertwined in his head, the anger for one fuelled the anger for the other.

Wulf had no reason to duel Hera, except for vengeance.

Hera needed to make Wulf make a bad decision, and to do that she needed to push all his triggers. She needed to get his anger levels rocketing up to one hundred.

And how was she going to do that?

By riding up to him in a fucking wedding dress.

The minute he saw her in that dress, he was spitting vinegar.

Hera knew Wulf's motivations, knew his flaws, and knew the best way of making him make a bad decision, and she acted on that.

That dress was psychological war play.

It is vitally important that I learn to draw the best boy, so that in 8 months I can draw him in silly “Fair Game” meme art.

Spoilers for War of The Rohirrim below:

No one sang songs or told stories about Hera.

Her brothers were the one who died in war, her father died frozen standing alone against Wulf's men, her cousin Frealaf would then rescue everyone and ascend the throne.

The people saw Frealaf as the one who 'saved' them, the one who brought an army and defeated Wulf's army.

That then would lead to Frealaf being the one to take the throne and wear the crown of Rohan - the one who the people would now see and would be led by until his death.

Hera would then leave alongside Olwyn for Gandalf's invitation, with the instrument that helped created the songs with the only two people who knew what actually happened on the field meant Hera would leave the history books and people's stories.

Frealaf wouldn't sing of Hera because he doesn't know what happened, Rohan's people were too busy rebuilding a kingdom, the entire royal bloodline almost dead, Wulf was killed, Olwyn left with Hera...

No one sang songs or told stories about Hera.

What's unnerving about Wulf is that I don't think his father's death played as big a role in his actions as you would think.

He seems more focused on Héra and her rejection.

In LOTR universe, marriages are usually based on love. Yet when they initially talk after the proposal, Héra makes it clear she does not want to marry. And Wulf keeps pressing for her to do so.

He later kidnaps her and intentionally slashes a cut on her face as if to mark her.

When he offers and she says "If I marry you," he has a fit of rage over the word "if." He calls her arrogant...for her...considering not marrying him? Not falling into his arms?

When besieging the keep, even after Helm dies, he keeps going because he wants to make it Héra's tomb.

When she rides out in the bridal gown, he is furious that she would think he still wants her (as he mistakenly believes before she corrects him), but he still wants to fight her himself. He tells the soldiers to go on and that he'll deal with Héra himself.

Even at the end, when she tries to show him mercy by not killing him, he blames her for his fate and tries to kill her.

I'm not saying Wulf's father's death and the banishment helped, but I'm pretty sure Wulf is an incel on steroids. He wanted Héra, but when she rejected him, he decided he'd kill her and everyone else. Kind of, "If I can't have you, no one will."

Am I the only one who laments Sam was often introduced having a wide array of talents and interests yet they never really became part of her character, only remaining a one episode thing or a quick gag?

Because everything about Sam's scenes implies she's incredibly layered.

The things laying around her room include countless vinyls, a keyboard, and a portable drum kit. All of which implies she has a deep interest, and maybe even talent, in music. Something Pirate Radio later confirmed when it turned out she's a knowledgeable and phenomenal DJ.

Then, there's the fact that she's a skilled gamer. Yeah, so are Danny and Tucker, but you kinda pick up on it on your own thanks to their characterisation of "wants to be a normal teenaged boy" and "techno geek", respectively. Between the show being from the 2000s and Sam's focus on the occult and environmentalism, you don't really see it coming that she's a gamer. Especially one so good she routinely kicks Danny and Tucker's asses.

I mentioned this before, but I especially hate how her talent for DIY clothing was just used as a quick gag. The eye for design you have got to have to turn a frilly pink dress into something a goth would wear is nothing sort of astounding. And knowing Sam and her usual disdain for money and mass produced content, you can't tell me she wouldn't be the type to alter all her clothes into something that fits her style.

Lucky in Love also introduced her love for goth poetry, something Beauty Mark implied she actually partakes in given her use of a haiku to warn Danny about Dora. And yet, it is rarely brought up. Though it is true this is the one interest the Phandom never forgets about and often adds to their fanfics and headcanons.

And finally, there's her love for plants. How cool is it that she takes care of her own greenhouse all by herself? That implies extensive knowledge on botany. But, again, unless it is to point out her vegetarianism or environmentalist ways, the only other time besides Urban Jungle where it was relevant was in Claw of the Wild, when she used some berries to treat Wulf's wounds.

To be fair, this issue isn't exclusive to Sam. Between teenage drama and ghost fighting, Danny's interests aren't explored or expanded upon all that much beyond "regular teenage boy stuff". Even so, they do get enough focus or leave a strong enough of an impression for them to become common knowledge among the Phandom. I mean, everybody treats Danny wanting to be an astronaut as an essential part of his character (and it kinda is), yet it was only brought up in three episodes in the whole show.

I guess, what I'm trying to say is that the show and Phans alike tend to sleep on the fact that Sam is surprisingly multitalented.
