We as a fandom do NOT talk about the wrong kids enough and it truly pains me. That live show is one of the most heartwrenching things I've seen in terms of Fantasy High, even though it initially seems like a comedic bit.
Zelda being in it for Gorgug, even though they end up breaking up and hardly thinking about one another just a year later.
Ayda being in it for Fig, but eventually reincarnating, becoming a teen, and forgetting her altogether. Telling her that she has no problem hurting her because she doesn't remember her anyways, only for her to be shown all the versions of herself in all the realities who always fall in love with Fig.
Tracker being in it for Kristen!!! Oh my god do not get me STARTED. Abandoning her reality IMMEDIATELY upon hearing that Kristen is alive in this Fig's universe. But unbeknownst to her, in this Fig's universe her and Kristen have broken up. Name a more toxic sapphic romance than "I would leave everyone and everything I knew behind if it meant I could see you again, and that STILL isn't enough to keep us together."
Aelwyn being in it for Adaine is also insanely gut wrenching. Everyone up until this point was there because of romance, but that is her baby sister and if she isn't there then what's the point? Adaine is always the catalyst for Aelwyn, whether its for better or worse.
AND THE LAST TWO MEMBERS BEING RAGH AND ZAYN! Ragh, tangentially, is probably there for Fabian, but he's also the big brother of all of those kids. He and Zayn are in the same class as Aelwyn a bit, because if the world can take the bad kids away, the people who showed them how to be kind and good, then how good can it really be? Furthermore, neither one of them is SUPER connected to Fabian or Riz. Ragh is arguably closer to Gorgug, and I'm not sure Zayn EVER interacts with Riz one on one.
So Fabian, popular boy of Aguefort, oracool of dance, the boy who was supposed to write his name on the face of the world is somehow alone again. Without the bad kids, who does he have that would be as outraged as say, Ayda or Tracker? His mom, who left him alone in his house for a year? The hangman, who is his closest companion and also essentially his pet? Mazey, who he hasn't met yet?
And Riz. Riz, who was so so scared that he would have no one, to the point of creating a nightmarish manifestation of him trying to hide his true self, has no specific person in this group, created to avenge (or at least out of mourning for) the bad kids. Half the group was made from their partners, half from siblings or close friends, neither of which Riz has outside of those who have evidently died with him.
I love this quangle so much
