Okay, I do kind of want to know how they all got to the top of the tower here. The way this is framed, this is Goliath's first order to Puck, and I'd be wary of asking Puck to do Literally Anything Else. As it is, Goliath is being VERY specific in what he's demanding. And offering the one thing Puck desperately wants as a direct reward.

So they took the elevator. I would love to see a snapshot of this crew—five human men in loin clothes, a mangy dog, a mirror, a free gargoyle, a gargoyle in chains, and a garbage can with jester's legs coming out the bottom but not touching the floor—shoved into one elevator while muzak plays and they wait to travel up the 80 stories to get to the roof before this moment. God what a picture!

I love that unmaking Elisa as a human required her to have no memory of herself being human. So she gets transformed and must believe she's always been like this.

Which also must mean that the others must have not been gargoyles because otherwise they would have always been the same, but they definitely were not.

Surely though she wouldn't be quite this excited if things were in fact reversed and this was Goliath becoming human. She could only be quite that excited to be compatible so long as Goliath stays his monster-self XDXDXDXD

Demona does not have any idea what she's asking for. XD And once again, we see her emotional impulsivity get in the way of her intellect. She has the wherewithal to be suspicious of Puck, but it's just too good, getting to believe Elisa is dead. No longer a thorn in her... side. She's like a kid in a candy shop not ready for the stomachache she's about to get.

And Puck knew all along that if he could get in the hands of the gargoyles, as insufferable as his human self finds them, they WOULD free him from his bonds. It's not Just to keep him out of Demona's hands. They could have tried to make their own wishes, and I'm sure Puck is intimately familiar with how easy that temptation can cause him problems. Which is why he focus on Goliath and his clan.

So I screenshot scenes at a time otherwise my player will freeze up and make me find my spot all over again, so it had been just long enough since I got here for the posts that my brain got to fill in the music that I feel should be going on here, and it's absolutely Yackety Sax that I am hearing XD Tell me you don't hear it lmao

Following the note of my last post, we open with Demona and Puck's return with what appears to be Demona having collapsed into the only chair in the room. This is emphasized by Puck perching on the large globe. Would he have done that even if there was a second chair there? Oh almost certainly! But it makes it stand out that there isn't another chair.

Just this single throne that Demona sits in alone. She is so so lonely and yet she doesn't even allow herself the illusion of company. In fact, by choosing a throne to have available to her, she's highlighting that this isn't a room meant for anyone else's comfort. It evokes a throne room, where supplicants might come and stand or kneel before one and ask for boons.

Her need to lead and control drives her inability to connect or trust or even make space for others in her life.

Puck the little shit. Gives them several long moments to realize they're both human together and touch a little and then seemingly is just like 'Ah ah ah! Get thee away from her.'

Puck really just wants to play with the doggie. Lmao
