THEY HAD NO RIGHT-

Y’ALL GALAXY BRAIN MOMENT ALERT

Okay so we all know how the Pineguard wears their patches bc if they don’t have Sylvan wool they’ll go kinda bonkers as soon as they step onto the other side?  That never really made sense to me, bc when animals step over they gain sentience, and humans are just a really advanced type of animal, so like, what gives?

I was thinking about this and it hit me that it was the Quell.

She knew that humans had taken Sylvain from her, and like Griffin said she wanted to find them and she wanted to destroy them.  So when humans dared step foot through the archway, she struck and took them over as quickly as possible.  In the beginning, when Duck enters the gate, Griffin describes how he’s taken over with this indescribable rage and hatred, which is exactly how Thacker felt when he was taken over, too!  

The Sylvan wool, like most things from Sylvain, probably has residual energy from the planet, which makes them at very least less susceptible to the effect the Quell has when wearing it.

And THAT’S why Stern didn’t feel any adverse effects when he stepped through the gate!  The Quell had retreated and wasn’t trying to destroy anything anymore, so he was safe!

So @themlet wrote a really great story about the old guard and I really needed to draw all of it but I don’t want to spoil the whole glorious thing before you go read it -->  https://archiveofourown.org/works/19774195 It’s so damn funny and sweet and Mama and Thacker spend most of it ogling Barclay so that’s fun.

Also, is my gay ass the only one that thinks the Pineguard logo looks kinda gay?
