'Riz hasn't had any arc for the past three seasons' is an insane sentence when 3 major villains, one in each season, has had personal beef with specifically Riz

I know I'm an aromantic Adaine defender and also have been rebloging every adaine x kipperlily post i see

but i am a arospec wlw, this should be expected, i believe in both, don't ask me how or why

[qquell]

to absolutely no one’s surprise. i’m writing about kipperlilly copperkettle again

[magicisrealandsoismyally]

YES

characters have to be a little bit awful in ways that you cant defend. its good for the ecosystem. your honor he did do that. He did in fact do that

[boatemlag]

i am a terminal goro akechi fan unfortunately but i do think that sometimes teenagers commit atrocities because they are perpetuating a cycle of abuse that was dealt unto them because systemically they had no other choice and while this doesn't absolve them of their actions ultimately they are kids and should be allowed to work towards being ok

AUGUST. AUGUST YOUR KLKC/ANAKIN THOUGHTS. AUGUST YOUR MIND <333

i love opening nitter, binging the correct trg opinions, and fckin bounce before reading anything else. peace and love and all that.

YIPPEEE. for those curious:

kipperlilly copperkettle 🤝 anakin skywalker:

choosing rage for power/control > losing everyone you loved & wanted to protect with that power in the process > ending up alone with that power and control and literally nothing or nobody to use it for > the enormity of what you lost and the utter uselessness of what you gained.

something about anakin choosing slaughter and rage BECAUSE HE WAS TOLD he could protect padme this way + her dying at his hands // "lucy you're going to be the CHAMPION" + every single one of the rat grinders coming back except her. literally what was it all for!! welcome back porter / emperor palpatine

CURRENT FHJY THEORIES

My current conspiracy board for the season

These are my plausible theories and then I'll talk about my batshit insane theories

I think that the rat grinders HAVE lost their memories regarding Lucy's death. I'm inclined to believe that Ratbitch Dogface and MAYBE Ivy remember. I'd bet that they took the honey to lie to Aguefort and the other staff about their involvement with her death.

The mind terrorism that Fig put Ruben through caused him to vomit up a 'Bloody Viscous Substance' And I will not be surprised if Fig has made Ruben remember whatever happened to Lucy

Gertie verified that the honey made from the Devil's nectar is bloody red.

She is making the honey for some local food trucks that we know Are KLKC's

Another thing we know for a fact is that the body of Lucy Frostblade showed marks from multiple assailants including magical, non- magical, and specifically a type of bludgeoning damage that carbonized her blood into red diamonds

This leads us to believe that Lucy's murderers were her own party members. In addition to this, they also found the rage crystals in the dirt and the bodies of Lucy and Yolanda Badgood.

This clearing's destroyed trees shows indications of giant involvement as well

What we currently know leads me to believe that the Rat Grinders attempted a replication of Kristen's spring break miracle

Lucy attempted to resurrect an 'Evil' sibling of her goddess, Ruvina, The unnamed god now known as Ankarna.

This mirrors the Cassandra / Galicaea relationship as well

This attempt clearly backfired in some way I'd bet either resulting in Lucy or the others becoming something similar to the Rage Mages we saw in the battle at the Synod

I think that the Rat grinders are all at various levels of involvement in the upcoming plot involving Ankarna with KLCK being the mastermind AND I KNOW that there's some bullshit going on with the rogue teacher that FOUND KLCK ( Will be unsurprised if this unknown teacher is dead)

We currently do not know how this episode's revelations regarding the name will affect these plans in the upcoming episodes. If this is playing into the preexisting plans or completely destroying them

The way Brennan talked in the most recent AP about how he thought that them finding the name was an inevitability but a scene he thought would happen in the third act of the season makes me think that this will NOT affect the Rat Grinders plans in a majorly significant way. They still have to do something ( some kind of ritual or other ) that the Bad Kids will have stop in the final eps

After learning all about the Historical side of the shifts that Ankarna's domain saw I believe that there is a lot of evidence for a conspiracy against Cassandra and Ankarna involving Sol and Galicaea. But this is still up in the air

Now for my pepe silvia conspiracies . . . Feel free to bully me in the comments for these

ONE- The Time Quangle that Arthur Aguefort dropped on us in the second episode

We know that The Seven have already experienced a large chunk of this year during the GED quest that Aguefort was present for

And lesser men will say that the TIME QUANGLE is BLeeM's way of justifying the continuity errors between these two seasons

I am not one of them

The animated opening sees the Bad Kids falling past clocks and into a diamond prison created by Aguefort which explodes into the BK's falling in a scene eerily similar to them falling into Riz's briefcase of holding. They then face villains from both of the two previous seasons ( Goldenhoard, Kalina, a Corn-cutie, Chungledown Bim, James Whitclaw ( the mindflayer that kicked Fabian's ass during spring break) , Coach Daybreak, and Penelope w/ Dayne) in the Gym they fought Kalvaxus ( VP Goldenhoard ) before we get title cards for each of the Bad Kids

I posit that we will see the Bad Kids tumble through time as a result of not only Agueforts chronomancy adventure with Ayda but also the fuckery involving the time loop at the synod. Visiting their past villains in addition to current threats

TWO- Vice Principal Jace Stardiamond

Facts we know about Aguefort's resident sorcery prof and interim VP . . . Ragh Barkrock SAW him give Adaine's mom and Kalina the Nightmare King's crown from Aguefort's office after prompocalypse, Jace Stardiamond holds a useless position at Aguefort as sorcerers do not need any teaching for an innate ability, despite his uselessness he was chosen to become the VP, he was the person Yolanda Badgood was going to approach about the sinister shit surrounding Lucy Frostblade's 'disappearance' and the paperwork for a new deity she never saw. Yolanda is now dead, even though he is VP; after the death of Interim emergency backup principal Arcturus Grix He is still VP and Student body president Mazey Phaedra is now acting principal. Making room for KLCK to become principal next year if she wins that election.

Reviewing these fact I put forth the following idea, VP Jace Stardiamond is in cahoots with KLCK AND he is the unknown rogue teacher. WHY? how would someone with no knowledge of trickery or thievery manage to take the Nighmare King's Crown from Aguefort's office? How would a man that essentially does nothing as a teacher keep job security? What if the reason that KLCK was found by the rogue teacher was because he is in on the scheme? SPIE'S TONGUE CURSE?? SOMETHING THAT TWO ROGUES IN CAHOOTS WOULD USE DON'T YOU THINK? WHY WOULD HE MAKE RIZ A MEMBER OF THE FACULTY??

[apollo-justice-irl]

do you think they would have shatter starred a bad kid if they like fully died during the last stand

or i guess any other fight the ratgrinders may have been at

like if gorgug went down during the dragon fight would someone rage star him before klkc broke the stick at him and they vanished

[robinave]

I believe that TRG are designed to represent some of the worst traits of various dnd players (not characters, actual players). Basically, the flaws that can make a dnd game become toxic, I'm not saying this is the intention, but this is how I've been interpreting it!

KLKC - the controlling player, the one who wants to metagame and wants to dictate what the other players at the table should do

Ruben - the shit disturber, the one who does things to piss off the other players (ex. Voting for the name)

Ivy and Oisin - the two friends who don't put in the effort with the rest of the players and have their characters go off together without the group

Mary Ann - the person who absolutely will not elaborate on their choices and only gives short answers, will not banter with others

Lucy - the person who left the game because of conflict with the other players

Buddy - the new guy who is filling the party's vacancy but isn't really meshing with the others

Chapter 5 of KLKC has gone live!

[dropoutconfessions]

I will always be salty about how brennan and the IH handled kipperlilly. The rest of the rat grinders were revived and given a chance to change but just because she was "too annoying" or something they ignored the fact that she was groomed by porter and made her into some evil asshole who deserved to die and go to hell. Aelwyn literally killed people. They have redeemed evil ppl who did so much worse than an angry 16 year old girl

I've gone into this on my main before, but I do think ttrpgs lend themselves to redemption based on likeability. Aelwyn has a personal connection to a PC, being possibly the only not terrible person in Adaine's family, as well as a full bit where Fabian was obsessed with rescuing her from prison. There was story and comedy to redeeming her. Kipperlily largely didn't have that. There was no one in the party who liked Kipperlily, they all hated her for a variety of reasons. There was no connection to build off of. Does it suck from a viewer's standpoint if they're more focused on the story than the characters? (which neither is bad to prioritize for the record). Yeah kinda, but that's the way the cards fall. I don't like what was left for Kipperlily (or Kalina but that's a different conversation), and I kinda hope that if they do a Senior year, a lot of old stuff gets fixed.

Also Kipperlily very much murdered like 10 people to be clear, that was a thing that happened, she committed on screen murder.

[magicisrealandsoismyally]

i apologize for the klkc content i am flooding your dashes with, just kidding i would never apologize for that

[oojamaflip-whatchamacallit]

#yes but crucially riz was in her class#klkc isnt rational#she was struggling with anger issues and later becomes possessed#her anger and jealousy arent actually about who 'has it the worst' but who is there to direct them at#and riz was there

has anyone addressed that if klck was jealous of riz for having “unfair adventuring advantages” she should’ve been insanely jealous of fig?

like i know it’s because riz is also a rogue but:

fig at the start of freshman year had mysterious parentage AND (semi) “tragic” backstory befitting the main character of a 2012 ya novel

then she finds out her bio dad is an archdevil

by the end of sophomore year she’s a famous rockstar, related to three faculty members, and dating the principal’s daughter (who herself is an incredibly powerful wizard)

[unhauntng]

riz shouldn’t be the one putting more responsibility on his back by being vice president. instead i want a long complicated slow burn of kristen being president and kipperlilly being vp and klkc does a lot of the actual work and kristen is mostly there to fuck shit up and keep klkc from being too evil ala augefort and goldenhoarde except enemies to lovers and they end up making out in a storage closet right before a student council funding meeting and they both walk in and it’s so obvious.

we could have had it all

completely sidestepping the rat grinders redemption discourse (and please don’t infer my feelings about it based on this post) to say that my personal and funniest hope for the season was that kipperlilly and kristen would be the most toxic yuri of all time, and i’m devastated we lost that
