here’s a question I’ve been thinking about a lot: thoughts about what general moonshine looks like?? we know all the boobs have taken on these more defined leadership roles in the war on the astral plane and I’m so intrigued by what that looks like for moonshine, a bit of an anarchist who last we saw her still wasn’t super comfortable actively taking and acknowledging a leadership role. also what do you think is gonna be the most insane policy mawmaw put in place in gladeholm before she had to return to the crick (I’m partial to the idea that gladeholm is now just full of local critter governments where the high elves weren’t even aware there were critters before)
I think Moonshine approaches being a General tentatively. She doesn’t like to give outright commands - she prefers to make decisions a collective choice when possible. When she has to make sweeping declarations they come from herself, Beverly, and Hardwon as a unit, and that helps her feel like she’s not lording power over her troops. (Hardwon approaches his authority in a very similar way to her, he took to Crick lifestyles so quickly that he attempts to embody their teachings and habits when and where he can. Bev approaches it a bit more traditionally, but still follows the lead of his former scoutmasters where he can. Some habits are impossible to break). Moonshine doesn’t love being in charge, and often has moments where she has to talk through her doubts with Hardwon, especially at the beginning, but she’s put her own spin on it and delegates when and where she can.
Regarding Gladeholm - I absolutely adore that critter idea. I think the strongest lasting idea MawMaw set up there was the idea of a collective government, but I think the most ridiculous has to do with the water park (which is of course still operational). I’ll decide here and now that it was that once a week the park is only open to critters and no humanoids are allowed to use it that day. The traditional high elves hated it originally but now it’s a spectacle. Everyone enjoys it.
