Tbh I’m not a huge fan of the association between Red Lives and being physically cold that I see in a fair amount of Traffic fics. It’s a cool headcanon fs! And I understand that it exists as an allusion to how red lives are so close to death

But to me there’s something about proximity to death that just begets heat and energy. Red lives are hopelessly alive, the closer you are to death the more your body wants to reject it. Feverish like you’re fighting off an infection…

Furthermore ☝️ I think “burning up” is an intriguing way to conceptualize red life bloodthirst. You want/have to kill people, in turn putting your own life at greater risk. The players have rarely lost their last lives quietly, they die because they were trying so hard to live.

But you wouldn’t blame a fire for burning out

summary:

there is nothing but carnage. there is one word – kill. kill. remove them from the face of the earth, take them by the throat and plunge his axe, his teeth, into the jugular. they have had the gall to wrong him. he will remove those wrongs. kill. take whatever resources he needs. it doesn’t matter from whom, what the price is – everything for the kill. everything for the end goal. everything, obsessively, single-mindedly.

or - a study of joel, and what it means to be red.

So i just had a thought based on the bit of lore (i guess? Idk what that bit was) Martyn gave us at the end of his episode. And this also kinda relates to Rengo, somehow.

But what if the Red King is back and is possessing Martyn? Bigs Dogs were both red and now Martyn is the last one, a lone wolf.
