Race to the apocalypse

Rereading Sunshine by Robin McKinley (one of my favourite vampire books). All I remember from reading it 10 years ago is the amount of page-time dedicated to baking cinnamon rolls. But I've realised, this time round, that the baking of cinnamon rolls is the symptom of a much larger theme in characterisation - Rae's ride-or-die commitment to the 'I'm just some guy' bit.

Every single chapter, another thing is revealed about Rae that puts her closer to being a special snowflake Chosen One: her name is Raven Blase but her nickname is Sunshine, she has sunlight powers, she's not just an innocent bystander but the daughter of a powerful warlock, she can help a vampire walk in sunlight, she's performing powerful magic. And every single time Rae just turns round and says to the reader, "but that's not important :) I'm just some guy :) I really like baking :) ignore that gothic heroine coding :) it's time to get up at 4am to make bread :)"

Her commitment to being Just Some Guy is genuinely carrying the novel. Every single day she becomes more of a Chosen One, but there's cinnamon rolls to make. Fucking D&D-ass characterisation. High art.

#Robin McKinley #Sunshine #every time I read it (and I mean EVERY TIME) I find something new #is her mom part demon?? when did that happen??? #the offscren little old lady summoners club #the ridiculous damage her dad did to the world and her mom specifically #how very disgusting Con's father was and how Bo is just like him #MASTERPIECE #absolute favorite book of all time #this is a story about me #or rather a rant lol

The realization that despite everything, Loop 100 ended effectively the same way it was always going to

Fuuko killed in a surprise attack by an unseen foe

Rip and Latla dead and unable to make it to the next world to save Leila

Andy's personality receding and giving way to Victor

Victor standing over Juiz's corpse as Ragnarok envelopes the Earth

These things were always going to happen, and no amount of interference could have changed them

However, despite the immediate outcome being the same, the context and consequence of those events completely changed

The delay of Fuuko's death gave time for the addition of Ghost, allowing her soul to be retrieved and her body revived

The chance for her revival allowed Andy to retain his personality, and he only let Victor take control as a favor to him rather than being subsumed

Because Andy retained control, he was able to gain Rip and Latla's trust, and he was able to inherit their will to save Leila

Juiz's death allowed Victor to see the end of her suffering, while also giving him closure as to the nature of his feelings for her, reviving his hope for her future in the next loop

Juiz's reincarnation allowed her to experience a normal, happy life as Julia, one where she was able to make the choice to fight for her beliefs rather than bearing the constant weight of responsibility that she had for eons, in turn allowing her a new perspective that will surely bring about new growth in Unjustice

If the events of Loop 100 that Akira saw were inevitable, a Rule that could not be broken, then just like any other Rule, all that was needed was to look at it from a different angle and expand beyond its limitations

I! just had! the worst epiphany about Juiz!

Post ch94 spoilers below the cut

So the Arc takes 01 to Luna every time to watch the earth burn. Juiz now functionally immortal has to leave her (im)mortal lover and all her friends to die. As she waits for the chance to see them again. Wow you know who that sounds like-

Chang'e, the goddess alone on the moon waiting for her (long dead) mortal lover.
