I was wondering if after all these years (3 days) you’d like to meet…
The update is coming right at the end of my finals week at uni, so after your previous answer I’m just desperately hoping that me and my babies (Ghita and O) survive whatever you have prepared for us 🥹
I absolutely understand that there’s still a lot left to happen in the final 3 episodes, so I’ve been trying to choose and formulate my questions in a way that hopefully won’t force you into spoiler jail too much.
1) I’ve mostly been reading the story in Russian, but recently I started rereading in English, and it made me curious about something: how intentional was the use of crows rather than ravens? Because the organisation feels very “crow-coded” to me (collective, urban, almost network-like), whereas the more mythological and solitary raven imagery feels more associated with O themselves. (Am I overthinking?)
2) A lot of O’s world seems tied to wealth, status, and powerful people, so I’ve been curious how O personally views those things. Are they meaningful to them, or more just tools tied to influence and control?
3) In 3x03 it was mentioned that the Crows are becoming increasingly visible and talked about publicly, while O themselves remains strangely absent from the public narrative around them. Are O intentionally cultivating that distance/myth around themselves?
4) What detail about O do readers tend to overlook the most?
5) Does O feel differently depending on whether people call them Odin/Odette or O?
Anyway, thank you again for continuing to feed my extremely healthy and completely normal fixation on these psychologically concerning babies 🖤🫶🏻💋
I am glad you asked, and you are also very close to the answer; the original gang which O overtook was called The Black Crows, as you say, collective, urban, a gang community across multiple cities. Huginn and Muninn are indeed ravens, but in outmanoeuvring his former bosses, O put his/her patron saint in front of the murder (of crows) to signify the next phase. It is supposed to show the passing of time, constantly reshaping the world and the people in it.
How calculated his/her vulnerability is
I doubt it, but they enjoy keeping people on their toes.
