KIPPERLILY HATING RIZ BECAUSE HE HAS LIKE THREE TRAGIC BACKSTORIES
GOD. it's so funny to me that like
clearly the ratgrinders were all corrupted in some way but kipperlily was just an absolute fucking nightmare of a person the whole time. just like... a seething all achiever stuck in the margins of a story that isn't even remotely about her.
but also!!!!!!! the confirmation that kipperlily adored lucy. copperblade handshake nightpetal. the only person that i cared about and it didn't save you from my relentless pursuit of a shadow
okay riz immediately asking if the kobold or the dragonborn are secretly dragons.......... riz... riz the themes and motifs....
it is funny to me that the one who hates kipperlily the most isn't even riz or kristen, it's adaine. adaine the only one who didn't get a mention for "specific reasons why i hate those guys."
but father... adaine... she's just a little hater............. (broken aelwyn voice)
BOBBY DAWN IS THE BITCH FROM SANDRALYNN'S BACKSTORY?
ohhh my god. kill this man.
sandralynn your taste in men continues to be a game of russian roulette.
Adaine is so full of hatred and it is hilarious
bet she bitches so much about kipperlilly to Aelwyn and Aelwyn thinks it is adorable
aelwyn just listens to an endless rant about how much adaine wishes kipperlily was fucking DEAD and she just has to continually resist the urge to ruffle her hair affectionately
"and your solution was to NOT kill your parents???"
"there is definitely only one weird person here."
i do think like.... as ridiculous as kipperlily's tragic backstory being "she didn't fucking have one and is pissed about it" is, it does kind of show off a part of the setting that's like... pretty bleak to think about? namely that there's the school for heroes and there's the school for NPCs. the chosen and the unchosen. it's very meta and baked in comedy
BUT. like. a big part of penny's whole Situation is that she's also a halfling from a mumple family that are all NPCs and all her siblings are also expected to go to mumple, and part of her Moving Up In The World is this expectation that she'll leave those nobodies behind
kipperlily meanwhile is just. on some black rose shit
❝You, that girl, and the student council, too! You all look down on people like me! Without a care in the world. You use the special gifts that you were born with and without a second thought… trample the rest of us!❞
she sucks so much i want to put her in a jar
black rose duelist kipperlilly.....
that's essentially what jace seems to be doing tbh. "your only option is to revolutionize the world." etc

uouy can't do this to me
kipperlily is so you coded, it's so funny
every time they reveal more about her i'm like wow is this directly trying to appeal to cass or what
brennan's villains have always had me by the throat tbh. like. penelope, aelwyn, kalina, kipperlily, calroy, snow white. kipperlily feels like if you put penny luckstone and penelope everpetal in a blender. i was powerless.
i can't stop thinking about her. she haunts my mind with blorbo thoughts.
