I lvoe reading fablehaven cause the adult characters r so concerned with the children.. like other books like this will jsut let the kids go into dangerous traumatising situations but Mr Warren "she's a minor im not giving her a weapon" Burgess is putting kendra is 20 million scarfs and telling her to hide at any possibly moment. 10/10 alot of child endangerment but damn they are trying really hard
So I've seen the "leaks" of the costumes for Golden Cheese and Burning Spice. (Whether or not they're real is still unclear/unknown...)
I have some thoughts...
(Spoiler below, just in case they actually are the real deal)
The digital/tech theme for the two actually seems interesting... just not for what I've been told it's for...
I wouldn't mind if it was just a fun costume for the two OUTSIDE of the theme of the Ancients falling to the vices of their Beast counterparts.
But if those leaks are the real deal and they're meant to be the "Corruption AU" costumes... they're extremely disappointing. They don't make sense to me at all.
So the theme with the B/A pairs has been consistent.
- Pure Vanilla falling to Deceit
-Hollyberry falling to Sloth
- Dark Cacao falling to Apathy
The costumes reflect that wonderfully.
And logically, this set should represent:
-Golden Cheese falling to Destruction
But these... don't fit that idea at all. In fact- it feels like the opposite of their whole theme entirely.
The digital theme reminds me of the Golden Cheese Kingdom story where GCC copes with the loss of her kingdom and citizens via the digital world.
The whole idea of her plan was to "regain" what she lost. She struggled to move on properly.
A perfect digital world... where nothing really needs to truly change. One word comes to mind for me...
Stagnancy...
The complete opposite of Change, which both GCC and BSC are meant to be facets of.
Also...
This weirdly implies that rather than BSC convincing GCC to join him in his destruction... SHE ran back to that digital world (completely undoing her character arc) and convinced HIM to join her instead.
And if that's actually the case... what made him agree to it? Was it the idea of being able to destroy as much as he wanted? Even then... he'd eventually realize none of it was actually real... right? Is that any better than suffering the unchanging cycle of change that chipped away at his soul for so long...?
mod opal here: so sorry about my inactivity, school has been kicking my ass and I've been so involved in theatre recently since our show is coming up. Hoping to be more active in the future!
idols doing the eaw things with "woo to the young to the woo" is adorable but I hope people know how significant that friendship is to me as an autistic person. while I love other shows with characters on the spectrum they usually have a friend that kind of like takes care of them in a way? but yeongu and geurami have such a pure friendship and you can tell that geurami values yeongu as a person and genuinely enjoys being in her presence and doesn't change how she acts. like geurami is very wow in your face and loud and blunt but she doesn't change to a softer persona for yeongu, she stays herself and I love that about their friendship. that no one needs to change
