Why are you here for?

Hmmm… The Girl using a Sword rather an Axe seems like a smoking gun (smoking blade?) that she just can’t be Susie, but… I’ve been thinking about the Symbolism of most of the Swords in the Dark World being Writing implements…

A symbolism the game itself just pointed out.

There’s a potentially fun play here with swords already being the Weapon associated with an RPG’s main protagonists/player characters, and also the symbolism of holding a pencil/pen to show you’re the person with the agency to change the story and master your own fate. So it’s like equating being the “Main Hero” to being able to ‘write your own stories”.

Kris, the actual person holding the ‘Sword’ right now and presented on the surface as the ‘Main Character’ actually has a lot of problems with actual narrative agency. Some obvious (like our possession of them), some less so (being the only ‘Dark Hero’ who always ‘carries out fate’ and never 'faces' it.)

Susie is obviously the one most likely to resist the path laid out before her…

So I’m thinking about the concept of Susie deliberately picking up a Pencil/Sword to make herself the Girl from the Prophecy.

Like, she’ll literally declare her intention to re-write the story by arming herself with a ‘Writing Weapon’ while also deliberately writing herself into the Story with the same action. Making herself into the ‘Chosen One’ instead of accepting the ‘fact’ that she was not supposed to be chosen.

… Of course, that would have to be one hell of a Sword, cause it will also need to satisfy Susie’s aesthetic desire for Big Badass Weapons. Like, the literal reason she doesn’t use Swords right now is that she thinks Kris’ are too puny.

The Paradise Board in Chapter 3, where we see Ralsei get a little taste of agency playing as Kris and his subsequent dismay, shows his wish for determination.

I think we will see Susie and Ralsei fight over the SOUL in a future chapter. Ultimately, the girl “finds love”, so she gets it.

Bro is just going around killing everyone he thinks should be with him instead. Even if Kyle was going to the ball with Tubbo, the princess of green, and is notoriously the "I am a straight man and would like to be represented as such." guy

Pangi seems to be a highly insecure man who has to constantly reaffirm his power, and one of the ways he does it is by attempting to control all the men he thinks belong to him. This includes stalking Pili2 when he first arrived because Pangi was close to Pili1, this includes the murder of Kyle, and this includes shooting Pili2 because he invited PrinceZam to the ball.

Someone said that Pangi murdering Pili was ok because Pili was Pangi's abuser. And that is an insane take that completely ignores how Pangi initially treated Pili2 when he first arrived. Like Pili2's first days in the realm were marked by a guy he didnt know stalking him and comparing him to a person Pili didnt know about. Of course that's gonna taint Pili's view of Pangi.

Pangi argues that the stalking was all in the past, but that was HIM basically absolving himself of any wrongdoing. Pangi draws a line in the sand saying that his own stalking of Pili was something that should be forgotten and ignored, while Pili's reactions were something to be condemned.

Pangi is in his villainous era. He's being a demon for all the men he thinks are his (except Lukey). He has probably destroyed his friendship with Aimsey due to breaking his promises, and his relationship with Ros was already fragmented due to her and Sneeg's attempt on Lukey's life. Pangi is the main serial killer of the Realm basically since Pili1 died. Except for Lukey, all of his kills since Pili1 died have been on purpose. Pangi is not righteous, even if there is logic behind his actions. And that's OK. A villain is a perfectly acceptable role to play.

And Pangi is doing that all while wearing a cute little dress.

Yes, I do think the Null messed her up, and she may or may not have heard tr!Lukey in there- there's a big possibility she could have, but I also understand that from tr!Lukey's perspective, he literally did nothing wrong. Meanwhile, he's always being attacked by yellow members. So, from his perspective it does come off as unfair, especially after yesterday.

Tr!Lukey was literally leaving and from my understanding, someone can correct me if I'm wrong, tr!sneeg showed up on tr!ros' behalf and, even if he didn't mean to kill, he attacked tr!Lukey with a mace that dealt a decent amount of damage. That wasn't like a simple "hello" punch, as yellow is trying so hard to justify. Which, I don't think the attack was the main issue- the main issue, I think, is trying to play it off as being not that serious, almost to the point of gas lighting ngl.

Anyways, I'm just trying to understand why tr!ros isn't even hearing tr!lukey out when he's trying to explain himself repeatedly and ask her what he can do to at least alleviate the hostility between them.
