I imagine they can get away with a LOT of pyrotechnics on stage, given their magic and tinkering. The fact they have a band together delights me.

I’m obsessed with the way Maggie writes dialogue

related to the post i just reblogged: my ideal post-canon bad kids ending is they all move in together: i like to imagine it's not mordred or seacastor manor but maybe a giant apartment or their own house, and they all just commute via portal (a la compass points & ayda) home and to various lives. like. riz has a detective agency in bastion city. fig travels between hell, leviathan, and home. adaine works partially in fallinel for oracle things, or maybe in bastion city at a less oracle based job. like. imagining everybody in the roommate group chat wondering if riz fell asleep on his desk again so kristen pops into the portal, tosses him back through into their kitchen, and he lands on all fours hissing like a cat. fig is late for game night because she's jamming in hell so adaine just shouts for her through the flaming hell portal in their living room. gorgug handing everyone a packed lunch before they go. group bad kids kitchen is INSANE. fabian: can't cook despite being bullied into learning. he is so bad at it. adaine can make simple meals and likes cooking. pretty good at assembling sandwiches though. fig and kristen can both cook competently but fig hates doing it. riz can cook but makes the most insane optimized shit you've ever seen. gorgug buys groceries and sorts out the chore rotation calendar. adaine put a silence ward around kristen's room. they have a version of cat shelves on the walls but they're little rivers full of water so boggy can float when he wants to. giant crystal tv. fabian has a pull up bar in his doorway. the hangman switches between hellhound form for couch time and ear scratchies and motorcycle form to just chill in the garage. their living room couch is enormous specifically to fit all of them and fig still perches on the armrests and kristen sits on the floor and leans back on gorgug's legs. all of the furniture in their house is built sturdy and enchanted for strength so gorgug doesn't have to worry about breaking it. their dining room table is specially designed so riz can just sit on top of it rather than dealing with a weird chair situation. they have strip lights on the walls, even.

I like them a normal amount.

THE BAD KIDS Dimension 20: Fantasy High Junior Year (2024)

kavinsky's death is actually the closing arc in a great tragedy to me bc his actions throughout the story are mostly just him practically begging for someone to be on his side, to care about him, to even just look at him. his father tried to kill him, his mother is completely uninterested. he can dream himself as many people as he wants, but they will only ever think of him because he made them to do so. the dream pack are just physical manifestations of his desire to not be alone in the world, to have someone, anyone, connected to him. he so desperately tries to draw some sort of emotion out of ronan, good bad or ugly, because the intense similarities they share mean that he's the only person who might be willing to look long enough to see him. and when it doesn't work, when he realizes it can't, that this world is not for him and he is not going to be a part of it in a way that involves anyone else, he decides that everyone is going to look at least this once. they will all see the finale if nothing else. genuinely doomed from the start. and how truly devastating that is in comparison to the core group the story focuses on, characters that even at their lowest and darkest and meanest and absolute worst have others there with them. characters that always have someone looking for them. dying is a boring side of a life that has nothing inside of it.

is this nOT WHAT HAP-
