Drawfee Plays The Quiet Year

if Jacob hadn't said a rocky desert at the start, we may have been welcomed to a friendly desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while we all pretend to sleep.

Imagine being the frost shepherds and you got beaten in a war by a bunch of hillbillies that you left in a swamp, so you take a year to gather your resources, regroup and eventually go back to finally defeat your enemies. Only to find out the hillbillies now have: -Mech suits -Gun ships -Domesticated crocodiles -An army of gladiators -An army of Its -An army of the undead -A hideous steed of war -Unlimited access to magic -A child genius that makes super weapons. -A literal god -And the god’s husband whose also a demigod Imagine THE FEAR, that’s the scene in infinity war times a million. Idc what Jacob says, they do not stand a chance.

actually so interested in the emotional tension between zagreus and goofy, just imagine, zagreus going into grief when goofy disappears, but when he comes back goofy has changed, he tries to get through to him but things get out of had and he ends up dying. when he returns, he no longer recognizes the world goofy has brought him back to, and goofy feels all guilty about the whole thing, they try to make it work but then the tension rises, and it ends tragically, with the end of everything they once loved, including each other. there must be so many zines about this
