It feels like every week I say some mild criticism of the Obama administration and someone will come up and try to defend him for some reason. Like pleaseeee Obama isn’t in office anymore there is zero point in even defending him. you can pretending he’s some magic progressive activist. He bombed kids.

oh you are going to hell for that last post. WHAT do you mean pretty much all of nil's village dies and it's steve's fault. WHAT do you mean nil was saved by steve and polly. BRIGHT BRIGHTGOAT WHEN I FUCKING GET YOU
on another note does nil know the siege was caused by steve dicking around? bc if yeah then i suspect their "friendship" is pretty much down the drain since steve did end up proving nil right in the end. they ended up being the one to cause all their deaths
also what happens to nil now, since there's no village left for them to return to? and why did polly come back in the first place? did something more happen between him and nil since their first meeting or was nil showing him mercy enough to make him come back?
anyway that post ruined me it was amazing can't wait to see more
COME AND GET ME THEN-
No, Nil doesn't know outright, but he suspects it anyway and he'll blame Steve anyway and he'll blame Steve for his own suffering cuz it's because of them he's still alive and doesn't know what to do...
Polly returned cuz... well ever since the fall of his tribe's Mansion, he doesn't know what to do either. He doesn't really know why he returned himself (especially cuz Nil told him to never return), but this villager is part of the reason Polly did what he did, and this is all he has now. At least he brought a peace offering.
Steve will promise to restore the village as much as possible, and there may still be hope...
W h a t happened with the zombie seige. How. (Obviously Steve but like-) give me the story. The angst. The lore. How did it all go down
Ok im gonna try to describe some of the. Imaginary animated episode that I had in my head:
Its misty. The sun is blocked out by the clouds. Steve and Nil trapped in the village, surrounded by not only zillagers but regular zombies too. Its like they were all in hiding but now that fresh meat has walked into view they’re all clambering out.
Steve is holding them off but Nil is in actual, for the first time in his life, in full blown panic. Doesn’t know what to do or where to run, maybe an almost freeze response, can’t even run around and panic like a proper villager.
Hew gets separated from Steve for a bit. The Librarian eventually finds him and slowly shambles towards him. Nil doesn’t wanna believe what he’s seeing, he just stays there frozen and resigns to his fate. Then WHOOSH. ARROW. RIGHT PAST HIM, STRAIGHT IN THE LIBRARIAN’S LEG causing them to stagger and kneel a bit. RUNNING UP TO NIL FROM BEHIND, IT’S POLLY, BATTLE CRY, quick shots, one two three, three zombies down and he grabs Nil’s arm and runs off with him.
Steve sees that and is like “oh the villager is oka- Uh oh.”
The two run into the barn (the same one Polly was kept in maybe), shooting the horde off but the zombies keep advancing and they’re kind of cornered and Nil looks to the side and there’s a barrel with fireworks left over from the post-Raid celebration- he grabs one- sticks it into Polly’s crossbow- BOOM shoots the firework into the horde and it works. They fall backwards.
It gives them just a moment to breathe… and then Nil elbows Polly, grabs the empty crossbow, gets up, aims as a warning, its empty, he just holds it up like a weapon while Polly is trying to show he’s harmless. The horde starts picking up again though and Nil shoves the crossbow back into Polly’s hands and Polly tries to regain himself but luckily Steve bursts in from behind the horde, cuts a few down, and them and the illager team up against it.
And when they get a moment of respite, just when it seems like Steve might remember this particular pillager, they fucking fight eachother cuz Polly Fucking Hates The Hero and Steve is confused on WHAT this Pillager’s deal is and why is it helping but also what are its intentions and at some point they switch weapons- but they realise Nil is in trouble and quit their fighting.
Steve would’ve tried to do something clever, but honestly they’re in shock and there’s a villager that needs rescuing and a pillager whose motives are unclear so they decide to just get them out of here. Eventually they escape the village with the zillagers on their tail and the clouds clear up and they all burst into flames.
Do Steve and Polly ever meet post Polly’s defection? If so, does Vinny get mentioned! I need this shit to be AWKWARD as fuck
Yup, when they’re forced to team up against the horde of zombies to rescue the 'weird villager' that Polly decided to maybe check up on since they have nowhere else to go post-defection.
guys why is it that every time i live near a village all the villagers disappear where do they go....
Nil returns to their village after staying over at Steve's base and sees the fallout of a zombie siege, brought on by Steve messing with a spawner deep underground right beneath the village, unbeknownst to them.
I NEED to know so much more about the illagers. does polly know vinny's dead? does he know how he died? what happened to johnny? what happened to him after the mansion raid? what happened to polly after the mansion raid? your au is driving me fully insane TELL ME MORE
(if polly dies, if johnny kills him we will be meeting at the denny's parking lot)
I shall now take this ask as an opportunity to blab about Steve's Mansion raid. Polly witnesses Vinny's death, and the death of pretty much everyone in that Mansion. It all came down to them, Johnny and their leader, Walda.
And because it's fucking COOL, it's on the rooftop. Thunderstorm. The mansion is on fire, this is the last stand. Almost everyone is dead and there are other Mansions but this was POLLY's tribe damnit ROME IS BURNING.
Steve is up top, injured, gotten the best off after Walda actually used the Totems properly (with fellow illagers as sacrifices), just one fang bite and they'll be gone again. Polly, the little sharpshooter they are, takes aim at Steve to help out.
And then they think.
They kill Steve. Then what? They'll just return stronger.
They die to Steve, lay their life for the empire like how the Evokers taught them to. And then what? Vinny died believing this, and it was without fanfare or meaning.
Polly has been at the mercy of not just Steve but a Villager of all people, and both let them live. What are they going to do with this life?
Steve takes the opportunity and kills the Evoker, and Polly flees by leaping off the roof into the water below, leaving Johnny behind as their witness.
Seeing everything just went from bad to worse, Johnny flees too to live to fight another day. He has to reunite with his own first. Polly... is not going to do that.
And god, my imaginary fuckin animatic with all this.. oohh... OOOHHHHHFFUUUCKKK 1:44 WHERE POLLY SWITCHES HER AIM OUUUUGHHHH- anyways. did this answer all of it? ... eh good enough.
Did Vinny think Polly was dead when they didn't return after the raid?
Vinny... held off his worry. It takes a while to travel, perhaps they got held up celebrating their victory... cuz surely Polly can't die before they get promoted to Vindicator like Vinny's always wanted and they could at least die together- and ay what do you know, Polly does return to the Mansion!
This is the patrol Polly is referring to.
And Steve is on their way too.
