I don't think I've seen anyone say shadow milk is in the right or that silent salt and elder weren't justified in sealing the beasts. I think they're just saying that from shadow milks perspective he's been betrayed by people he trusted and-using his own words-wanted to give them a taste of their own medicine.

This direction made perfect sense for his character. That and people are acting like Elder Fairy and Silent Salt were killed when they weren't. Silent Salt was transformed and Elder Fairy was sealed in the tree.

they're both still alive, just temporarily out of the picture. And If people would stop to think for just a second rather than immediately respond with anger, they would maybe consider the idea that this feels like a very obvious way to revive elder fairy and bring him back into the story. Like am I the only one who thinks that? It feels like such an obvious story beat to me that I'm shocked so many people are like "Why did they bring him back just to kill him again"

Again, he isn't dead, just indisposed for the moment. People did this with the other beasts as well where they said they died to give smilk more character development when, again, they aren't dead. They were absorbed into Shadow Milk; even before this update they gave very obvious hints to this fact with his eyes on the left side of his face. Like if you look past your blind hatred of shadow milk maybe you'll actually notice the obvious story beats and stop harassing other fans for having the audacity to -*checks notes*- enjoy the update and analyze their favorite characters.

Here's a little about me:

- First things first, I'm Bee! Hi!

- I'm 22, and have a wide array of obscure interests. I love to write, though this is my first time writing for a relatively large community. My journey started a LONG time ago on Quotev, if i remember correctly. Around that time I discovered Fanfic.net, deviant art, and then eventually served about 5 years as a wattpad warrior, before settling down with my true loves, tumblr and a03.

- I say all that to say, I aint new to this, im true to this. I've been apart of many fandoms, and Im so happy to be here rn, yall dont know what its like surviving on wattpad's SCRAPS.

- Anywho, I wanna talk about my lingo. I am the BIGGEST flirt, if you find that offensive, just let me know. I try not to over do it, but i cant help it, my loves. 😩

About The Four Ethers [my blog, not the actual ethers]:

- While poking around my blog, you're absolutely going to see me use terms of endearment. They are always generalized, please don't take offense to them.

- My blog is for grown folks ONLY. I have it plastered all over the place, and im gon do it one more again! MINORS, DO NAWT INTERACT. I don't have kids, nor do I run a daycare. You are 100% responsible for the media you consume.

- I do NAWT, under any circumstances, write non-con, incest, or abuse. Do not ask me to, I will block you.

- My main hub, The Four Ethers Archive, is linked in my pinned post, and if ever you wanna read this post again, you can find it linked there.

- One more, very important, thing. Any log you open round here, is written with a black reader in mind. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy my work, but dont ask me to change it, i will absolutely block you. I love my honey-bunnies with all my heart, I will never stop writing for them. Plus, I am a black woman shamelessly feeding my own interests. There's no need for any more context than that.

Alright thats a wrap!

okay so first the stuff I didn’t really like.

I really didn’t understand the challenge, the memory hopping thing kept confusing me so I’d have to rewind to see who was in whos. Especially when they began switching, that got hard to tell. I just kinda wished it was a slice of life episode.

Some of the characters didn’t get very much screen time such as Ruby and Match.

Speaking of which, I didn’t like how their arc was glossed over so quickly. Like, I was hoping for a little more than what they gave us. I mean there had to be more feelings than just that.

I was a little upset we didn’t get to see Leafy or Firey but that’s coming from a huge Leafy fan so I pretty much have the same thoughts every episode. Still did wish we got some mention of them though.

Enough negativity now, let’s get on to the stuff I personally liked.

I really enjoyed the post-split cast, especially Lollipop and Blocky. I didn’t really like them before but this definitely makes me like them more.

Also the gag with Flower and Gelatin getting arrested was so fricking funny. Like what do you mean they’re getting arrested??

Overall Flower and Gelatin had a nice dynamic this episode with them being business partners and all. If this was a slice of life episode, I’d want to see how their business grew but of course we can’t have everything.

Loser and Winner reunion!!! I used to not be a fan of loser but this does make him a bit more likable in my opinion.

OKAY THE POST-CREDITS SCENE WAS ACTUALLY SO COOL. It looks like the board is scrambled for all the algebraliens so that’s interesting. Four definitely knows One is up to something but we don’t know what. PROFILYYYYY. I know a lot of people hate them but I just can’t help loving them, they’re such a silly guy.
