#im a terrible fan

[tootalltech]

okay. i feel like theres still Some People who may check the land of stories tag on here the way i occasionally do i know theres some fans of the series here at least. since a while back i wrote out an entire paragraph to briefly explain why im insane about lloyd bailey to my friends who dont know tlos, i figure, WHY NOT POST IT ON HERE where people who also know the series (and therefore this character) might see it <3 its at least a little funny to see how i try to explain things in tlos like the hall of dreams briefly with little to no details. this is also kind of like a brief summation of everything we know about lloyd AND JOHNS childhood which is interesting. see below.

sits down. let me set the scene. lloyd bailey is the younger son in a set of two. his mother is a very powerful fairy (#fairygodmother) who’s kind of like the chancellor of an entire kingdom. lloyd and his older brother john both very much have magic in their blood because of this. lloyd’s father dies when he is very young. he is “not the same” afterwards. he thinks his older brother john, who handles his fathers passing arguably “better”, is the favorite child. john is happy and cheerful and everyone loves him. lloyd sits in his dark room and reads books like the iron mask all day. lloyd’s mother does not know how to get to him. she figures out how to make a potion that can bring books to life, since he likes to read so much. she offers it to him. he turns her down. she goes into this magic little hallway (infinite space) where she can see what people truly desire. lloyd the 11 year olds desire (i don’t know how old he is.) is to take over the world. hm. a bit concerning. his mother takes him out into the forest on a nice walk, chains him to a tree, and drains his magic from him. lloyd is not a fan of his mother for this. he tells her that she never would’ve done this to john. his mother considers her action stopping him before he wreaks havoc on everything. lloyd considers this having his “birthright” stripped from him for “a crime [he] never committed” (direct quote). lloyd despises his mother. he runs away from home not long after. he considers the potion his mother made his. he only comes back home to try and steal it. he fails. he is sentenced to life in prison. his mother gives him a mask to wear so no one knows he’s her son. john moves to the otherworld and starts a family. lloyd rots in prison. lloyd’s son who he doesn’t know about is born. lloyd rots in prison. john dies. lloyd rots in prison. his mother loves john’s children and starts to train one of them in being her successor. this could’ve been lloyd. lloyd rots in prison. he doesn’t escape until his niece and nephew are teenagers and his niece is about ten times more powerful than him. because she has the gift that was ripped out of his hands. lloyd hates the world he lives in and its people and seeks to destroy it as soon as he’s out. i wonder why. in conclusion. im normal about him.

Okay, so I guess I'm... sprinting at it, just like "AAAAH" with Beacon extended, and I think there's a moment just before we collide where Beacon sort of like, almost half-whispers like,

AU in which James breaks up with Regulus and to spite him Regulus becomes one of the most well known people in one of James' areas of interest just so James can't enjoy his thing anymore without being confronted with Regulus

This morning I was thinking about how in the very third episode of Metalocalypse, the guys surprise Murderface on his birthday by giving him a gift especially catered to his tastes.

And in the final movie, they not only forgive Murderface for the betrayal, but also reassure him of his vital importance in the band.

Murderface, you have always been very loved.

i might be reading too much into this, but I was thinking about how in RnS the paladin Lady in Blue cried ink when the Saint of (Ink and Something? I forgot. Paper?) spoke through her, and also in the confession ficlet, there was the detail about how, under the helmet, Blade was probably crying blood when he was essentially a vessel for the Saint of Blood and Steel. So crying disturbing liquids is a thing in those scenarios.

The line bout Helsknight having the smell of divinity about him is going to haunt me for a long time, and it occurred to me to be worried he might cry blood at some point.

And then I remembered the Demon fight and how because of the face wounds, Helsknight had blood in his eyes. And IDK if that was intentional, but the red dialogue in that chapter was presumably the Saint of Blood and Steel, oh and also he saw them he freaking saw his Saint I am still not over that-

this fic has my brain going wild

I'm glad you're liking the fic so far! And all my strange Saint/God Worldbuilding!

Unfortunately I've taken a vow of silence, so I cannot tell you if you're reading too far into things or not.
