what demonstrates the rat grinders vs the bad kids SO perfectly is oisin sending that guess you didn't see the storm coming message being like hehe im gonna put her on a ship in a storm and kill her just the same way the last elven oracle died and adaine is just standing on the deck like ok?? and one-punch killed an ancient dragon
I feel like the whole Bad Kid interpersonal dynamic is best summed up by Fig asking Adaine to strap GoPros to vultures without any context and that giving her a millisecond of pause before she responds, "Absolutely, my king. Whatever you want."
adaine being a war caster, spell sniper, mage slayer, wizard with a sword as an arcane focus and a signature spell of punch you into the stratosphere. everything to me.
bludgeoned somebody to death on her first day of high school, killed her dad in one punch, way too excited to be given a gun and get a go on the cannons.
I find it interesting that Oisin's snarky, kick her while she's down comment to Adaine was to say that she's not a very good diviner when Aelwyn, even at her most villainous, was so sure that Adaine was the greatest diviner alive that she was comfortable staking the entire evil plan on Adaine stealing that book. Aelwyn was a total bitch to Adaine but she never underestimated her.
This episode was so funny. It was combat but even though they got pretty hurt they were never in such dire danger I feared they’d lose, which is wild with all the dragons they were fighting. The Bad Kids managed to do so much and are so powerful. Fabian and Fig managed the party. Fabian used all his popularity to get people to vote. Adaine’s Furious Fist, organizing allies and using a cannon. Riz with all the cannon fire was incredible. Plus he’s smoking and drinking now!? Gorgug is the absolute mvp with all the damage he tanked plus driving plus gas and ram attacks plus normal attacks. And Kristen or rather K2. Ally Beardsley is legendary. Zac DMed. Fig did the shocker and flashed the party! Emily’s carafe and French press. Brennan’s “I need a ride home” callback. Ally coming up with so much K2 lore after Brennan said he was gonna kill her. Murph coming up with Gerard Neigh. This episode had everything.
