#Häxan Karna is old and not a spymaster and (in the grander narrative of the film) not *really* a witch

[generallyjl]

the problem with having a buncha disparate niche media interests is that sometimes they seem to overlap in ways that your pattern-seeking brain is like

anyways this is why i can't stop thinking about the idea that Aabria ( @quiddie ) got the name "Karna" for her D20: Ravening War character from the witch character in Häxan (that 1922 Scandinavian silent film about the history of witchcraft) who (sorta) sells her soul to the devil for her magic and dreams of wealth and comfort and power and grandeur, all that she will never actually be given in her now (alcoholic) old age

i've connected the two dots!! Karna and her ambition is doomed by two narratives, and we are all rot!

i've connected them!!!!!!

#i didnt connect shit #i know i know! #Häxan Karna is old and not a spymaster and (in the grander narrative of the film) not *really* a witch #and D20 Karna's young age is an important part of her character PLUS we technically dont know yet where exactly her ambition is taking her #i can just so easily see Häxan Karna as what D20 Karna becomes if her ambitions fail her into futile irrelevancy (and if she doesnt die) #i hope there's at least 1 other person out there who has interected with and enjoyed these two very different bits of media #häxan 1922 #karna solara #dimension 20 #the ravening war #trw #sometimes being unemployed during a recession leads you as an adult to crafting unhinged theories about the meta of fictional characters #at 10am on Monday no less
