Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
i've been pretty distracted by all the sapphics this season so maybe someone pointed this out and i didn't see it but - jace was murdered and brought back under porter's control with a rage star, he was never evil at all as far as we know. but even before brennan said jace and porter are a 'duo' people have been shipping him with porter, so everyone just accepted that he was evil because yeah he's banging the evil guy. the bad kids burn a couple of him alive, one of them is arrested (and then also burned i think?) and his only crime was choosing to come back to life to worship a rage god which yeah after getting murdered by your coworker i think that's fair. he didn't know porter would control him because ankarna didn't know that porter was controlling anything, he was on that devil's honey.
imagine being brutally murdered out of the blue by your coworker, a nameless god offers to revive you if you'll worship her and then you come back to life only to realise it was the same fucking coworker who can now mind control you. and then you get murdered four more times and you stop being mind-controlled but no one wants to bring you back because they think you were fucking your murderer. the life of a twink.
Spoilers incoming for FHJY post episode 15 as well as ramblings that attempt to express a coherent theory:
This post is a great point, throwing this theory into the ring, it was Arianwen Abernant.
She 100% got her magic back because it was taken away at the end of Sophmore Year by Cassandra who is now dead. And we know she can teleport and probably has mage hand too. So the second she regained her powers she could teleport right out of that nightmare forest.
What if she’s also been bankrolling the Rat Grinders and or the church of Galicaea (with the money that should have gone to Adaine and Alewyn) and the dragon thing is really a misdirect.
Galicaea is worshipped by a lot of high elves so funding the church would be a way to get back in good graces with Fallinel, and the popularity of Galicaea helps overall in the goal to keep Cassandra from returning.
She and Jace Stardiamond, and potentially Porter (he could be a Paladin of Ankarna who is a giant god, he did make sure Fig didn’t make that oath to Cassandra and his whole thing is rage) are allies and with Kalina were the memebers of the spy’s tongue curse.
“Ragh Barkrock” was Kalina’s hint to that.
Arianwen’s goal for the nightmare king was to restore her family name, and power and riches, and this is a way to do that. She’d be fully on board with taking out Yolanda and making sure Kristen failed and kept Cassandra dead so she can have her powers, and she’s not above manipulating children to get that. She doesn’t have Alewyn to do her dirty work, but Kipperlilly will do, and she even has a hatred of the Bad Kids already.
They’ve got the motive your honour.
All this to say, Oisin would never, it has to be Arianwen Abernant.
all kristen saw was a blue hand, right?
mage hand is usually blue, right?
all I’m saying is it might not have been oisin 🤷🏼♀️
