there is so much power in this one image…. I think Ally could kill a god with their bare hands
idk how to explain it but there’s something both horrifying and poetic about Pinocchio finding out his mom is evil at the same time as everyone else. like, he knew she wasn’t NICE or anything but she always acted as if she had his best intentions in mind and even though she scared him, he was just a kid who didn’t know any better… he didn’t know what a good mom SHOULD be. And all he can do is sit with the unconscious knowledge that something isn’t right but without the power to really do anything about it because he’s just a kid… so he just ignores it because everyone knows that if you don’t look under your bed the boogie man can’t get to you
and then she’s revealed to be a nightmarish cosmic horror in a way that is so sudden and undeniable that he can’t even try to hide anymore or pretend that nothing’s wrong with her. Because ignoring the boogie man didn’t make it go away, and the fact that this is shocking to him is so real and so childlike that is hurts. Pain doesn’t spare the children, and neither do monsters… not in real life and not in fairytales either.
let’s be real, neverafter being the horror season of dimension 20 is all the proof we need that humor is the ultimate coping mechanism….. the cast is slowly descending in madness in both the episodes and after party, and it’s an exact visual representation of what’s happening in my mind as I watch it
It’s been said that if you love something, you’ll let it go. The idea is nice because it means that you’re giving others the freedom to choose and come back to you. What I like about this season though is that Brennan and Oscar showed that sometimes letting something or someone go isn’t love, it’s cowardliness. I like that both of Rue’s letters were written with the fear that there wouldn’t be reciprocation and that in Hob’s final speech he chose to speak before he knew what the repercussions would be. In both instances they understood that the bravery came in not just letting someone go but first pulling them close, saying “So that I am clear, before you chose: I love you.” And only THEN letting them go to see if they come back. Because if you let them go first, how can they know the contents of your mind or heart?
oh yeah bones that’s interesting… no wait Brennan come back! Brennan the bones! Brennan whAt ABOUT THE BONEs!!???
first Chungledown Bim then Loose Duke, now Pinocchi-Crow… when one of Brennan Lee Mulligan’s NPCs goes rogue, no one is safe… it’s like having a little piece of Brennan’s brain running around loose within the story and no one knows where it’s gonna show up next or what havoc it’s gonna wreck
Remember y’all, a few things to keep in mind about d20 neverafter while viewing:
1. Famously, spiders love spheres.
2. It’s been about 5 years.
3. We HATE daddy.
This season of d20 is very interesting in that there really is no “good” side per say… and by that I mean that it’s really hard for the party to figure out who has the best view of the world. Because so far, the whole problem is that there isn’t really a “good” view or “best” view. We saw that a bit in a Starstruck Odyssey in the sense that the world was chaotic and crazy so anyone could be an ally or enemy aiming for whatever their own personal gains were. But even then, the party had a sense of who was just plain bad because they wanted to kill the party. And it was easier in that season because they were more neutral in morals than anything else so roll with the chaos wasn’t anymore threatening than avoiding it was. But in Neverafter, they want to improve things. For themselves certainly but also for those they interact with and put in the book. And in a way, that morality almost hampers them because all of the sides—fairies, stepmother, princesses—they have their own morals at play and their own way of deciding what’s best. But again… there isn’t a best. Idk where I’m going with this but the idea of not having a clear story path or moral with in the whole world of stories and morals is the whole core of what makes this world so interesting. That’s probably such an obvious thing to say but it’s just baffling my little mind. Also, I remember a tweet that said “it’s unreasonable to assume a character knows what genre they’re in” but we get to see, in real time, what it’s like for a character to realize exactly what genre they are in and fight against that
