easter egg hunt_09
[hermitzine piece from the last year]
“When Scar fell, so did the first drop of rain.”
The moment he died, the desert was brought to life for the first time since the beginning.
The smell of petrichor had never brought a more bittersweet sense of relief, nor a heavier sadness.”
When you learned your mother was a goddess, things finally seemed to fall into place. The other demigods laughed at you, the only child born to the goddess of the hearth, Hestia. But your power was so much more than they could dream of.
Happy one year to moon big and my favorite crew
i used to hate this drawing but it's kinda growing on me lol. i also did this before scar said something about not liking being drawn with oxygen tubes so dont come for me pls
Okay, so, a summary of the Scar & Tubbo livestream:
Tubbo is extremely excited to meet Scar
Scar has no idea what they’re doing
They have picked a challenge world in which lava is constantly rising
Tubbo picked this world
Tubbo did not read a tutorial and has no idea what they’re doing either
They totally fail to gather appropriate resources
Scar uses this time to successfully convince Tubbo that fireflies now exist in Minecraft
Scar attempts the double-life dripstone trick on Tubbo
They scaffold up above the lava. Scar nearly dies about five times. They escape to the nether, nearly dying again when Scar puts the lava bucket in the wrong place.
Tubbo: “Er, I’ve just had a discord message from Grian that just says Welcome to my world.”
Tubbo: “Also my chat keeps telling me you betrayed me??”
Tubbo destroys the nether portal back “until we’ve talked this out!”
Scar: “I haven’t betrayed you!”
Scar: “Grian will vouch for me!”
Grian has left the chat.
Scar reluctantly admits that they didn’t put fireflies in Minecraft
They leave the nether for the lava-world again and realize they’ve won
Scar falls into the lava by accident and Tubbo dies trying to save him.
Grian enters voicechat and proposes a therapy group of people who have had to keep Scar alive.
Tubbo immediately volunteers to join this.
Grian re-convinces Tubbo there are now fireflies in Minecraft.
i cannot stop over-analyzing asoue netflix but guys. do you think that scene in hotel denoument when the baudelaires are trying to get everyone to leave the hotel that all of the side characters' reactions represent their fatal character flaws.
like how olaf's mentors immediately started berating him and calling him a disappointment just because they believed he didn't set the hotel on fire. so their fatal character flaw was cruelty.
and mr. poe and vice principle nero refused to take their blindfolds off, despite the situation, making their fatal character flaw their incompetence, which made them the series' definition of useless adults.
babs and jerome first tried to find a way out, but ended up panicking and staying in one place, so their fatal flaw was cowardice, the original reason neither of them were able to help the baudelaires in the first place.
with esmé and carmelita, it's a little more complicated, since olaf was able to trick esmé because of both her vengefulness and greed (which manifested in her obsession with the sugar bowl), but to some degree it was also about carmelita's stubborness and entitlement (which manifested in her choosing to stay with esmé)
and, finally, justice strauss, who attempts to stop the baudelaires from running away on the roof. i've always interpreted her fatal character flaw as naivety; she believes that all problems can be solved without breaking any rules. she trusts the system too much, which is why she couldn't ever fully understand what the baudelaires were going through, and that they really did not have a choice.
overall, this scene is so important to the story, because it's the exit of all of these characters. it's the last time we see any of them. that's why these negative character traits of theirs were put in the spotlight for this scene; even though these characteristics are flaws so fatal they literally end up being the characters' dooms, they're still aspects of the characters we need to remember in order to understand why nothing went right in the lives of the baudelaires: all of these characters were too cruel or incompetent or cowardly or greedy or arrogent or naive...to be able to help them.
so, as tragic as it is, all these characters end up dying (literally or metaphorically) because of the same flaws that made them useless to the baudelaires in the first place.
