Listen I’m hoping when we get Cassandra back and Ankarna for the first time that they immediately decide they are Kristen and Figs parents. like: “Ah yes Saint Kristen Applebees-“
“you mean my daughter.” “she brought you back from being a corrupted fey construction of fear and literal nightmares?”
“parenting really changes you<3”
——-
“Figeroth Faeth Archdevil of Rebellion-“
“and my favorite daughter :)”
“she laid claim to your domain, and played a song so metal she reconstructed your fire horse”
“I know isn’t my kid the best.”
Let the lesbian gods be moms

Say what you want about Kristen Applebees but she is THE cleric. Chosen one of Helio and even after she left, he still wants her back. Galicaea wanted her to be a cleric of her church and she said no to her face. She became the sole cleric of goddess who she brought back from corruption. All whilst having a C in cleric class.

Like, Sol should be shitting his pants right now.
Ankarna's name being back in the world right now is a massive red flag because even though they are mostly dead, it's pretty clear someone has used their rune in multiple places to accomplish work in their deadname.
Ankarna already has believers.
I thought you were dead says Cassandra right before she shatters.
And already, Kristen is talking about trying to make sure Cassandra isn't corrupted, but more than that, she wants to save Ankarna the way she saved Cassandra.
Buddy Dawn, Kristen's parents, have all confirmed that Helio isn't doing well because he's lost his chosen. There is pressure for Kirsten to return to Helio.
I'm very curious what lie Galacaea will tell Tracker the next time they commune. What kind of pressure will she put on Tracker to convince Kristen to return to Sol Helio and give up on Cassandra?
Because if anyone can radically change the pantheon of her world, it is Saint Kristen Chilis Applebees and Sol fucking knows it.

kristen thoughts plus divine musings
I really want to write out my theory and speculations about last episode but Kristen C. Applebee's won't stop taking up all my brain space so I might as well share my ramblings.
First off it was a really interesting choice to reach out to her parents she could have easily settled for checking in with Bucky to see how he and their other siblings were doing, but decided to talk to her parents anyway which besides being brave also shows a maturity that often alludes Kristen (not that ignoring her parents for the rest of her life is immature but that's not the point I'm making).
Although I wish she could have interacted more with her brothers her conversation with her parents was not as confrontational as I would have expected I for sure thought that Kristen would have bitten back at the "Helio might not have let that happen" comment when Kristen the literal chosen one of Helio has died multiple times.
Another thing that stuck out to me was the way Mac and Donna talked about Galicaea, they acted like she was just some random goddess but in Elysium Galicaea refers to Sol as her brother which is a weird thing for Kristen's parents to ignore so is the fact that Sol and Galicaea are siblings something that not common knowledge? Could it just be something that's forbidden or just taboo to talk about? Mac and Donna were also pretty judgemental about elves when they were first introduced so maybe it has something to do with that?
So that got me thinking about how Cassandra is mostly referred to as Galicaea's sister instead of Sol's while it could just be that they're both associated with night and that they both had elven followers but it made me wonder what type of relationship they had. Were they just never close in Elysium he never mentioned Cassandra but that could have just been because Kristen didn't ask him about her the only real thing we know about Sol is that he obviously approved of Ankarna and Cassandra otherwise he wouldn't have officiated their wedding.
Which brought me back to how Sol followers in the modern/evangelist church of Sol don't seem to actually know or care about what Sol actually represents/represented, which made me think about the inverse. Does Sol even truly know what's going on with his followers? Because of devil's nectar we know Gods can be purposely deceived but we also know that the nectar works by deceiving yourself first so if you truly believe something and tell your God the same they will believe it too because in Spyre the gods aren't omniscient, we've literally seen it with Galicaea who thought that Cassandra erasing her old name was her own idea and the Nightmare King killed her even when there was evidence to the contrary. Do you think her clerics did it on purpose? Whether their words were Honeyed or delusional Galicaea was still lied to. Galicaea who loved her sister, who would destroy anyone that would dare hurt her baby sister, who bared her fangs at the mention of doubt and only spoke of conviction and clarity which belonged to her fallen sister in law.
Do you think that after Cassandra died Ankarna wasn't the only one who got corrupted? Do you think that with out someone to champion doubt and hold peoples hand through the unknown, people stopped questioning the words of their preachers, paladins and clerics? because doubt became hard to speak about was it just ignored and swallowed? Was it the avoidance of doubt that made the followers of Sol demonize Ankarna? Because without Cassandra Ankarna was no longer a part of their family? Sol and Galicaea did they care? How did they when they lost the last part of Cassandra besides themselves? Were they sad?angry? relived? upset? apathetic? Did they even notice it happen at all?
Maybe I've just been thinking too much

Fantasy High and Love
Dimension 20 is no doubt one of the most popular D&D Actual Play shows releasing currently. It has, as of writing this, 14 completed seasons, and the 15th well underway. These seasons range from four-episode side quests, to full seasons, which range from small town mystery in season 1 (Fantasy High), to Regency-Era Romance in season 14 (A Court of Fey and Flowers) to Game Of Thrones inspired Candyland in season 6 (A Crown Of Candy). Dimension 20’s main cast (The Intrepid Heroes) consists of Sibbion Tompson, Lou Willson, Ally Beardsly, Zac Oyama, Emily Axford, and Brian Murphy ‘Murph’, and most games are Dougen Mastered by Brennan Lee Mulligan (Captain K.P Hob, A Court Of Fey and Flowers) or Aabriya Ingar (Antiope Jones, The Seven). Of course, there are always other players who guest star in the seasons and work at Dropout (the company that owns Dimension 20), but these are the main candidates for the show. 
Though the seasons do not always make it so obvious, one key theme underlies in all of them, and that is love. The show says, quite plainly, love is not always romantic. Love can be your friend, sacrificing herself to make sure you survive (Sibbion Tompson as Adaine Abbernant, Fantasy High Sophomore Year), love can be a King screaming at his head guard to “Take my daughters and run!” (Lou Willson as King Amethar Rocks, A Crown Of Candy),  love is saying “I don’t love you anymore,” and putting yourself first (Persephone Valentine as Sam Nightingale, The Seven), and to end with a more traditional sense of love, it is two people renouncing their families for each other, kissing under a raincloud and saying “We have so much to experience together.” (Surena Marie as BINX Choppley to Omar Najam as Andera, A Court Of Fey and Flowers). In this essay, I will specifically discuss Fantasy High and Love, platonic or romantic.
Fantasy High is set in a small town, in a highschool, so romance is bound to appear at some point. It also follows our Intrepid Heros (Kristen, Adaine, Fig, Gorgug, Fabian, and Riz, played by Beardsley, Tompson, Axford, Oyama, Willson, and Murphy respectively) as they learn and grow as people. It follows their mistakes, their feelings, their hearts, and discovering their own sexuality and relationship ideals and goals as they mature. Now, we cannot talk about Fantasy High without talking about religion, specifically the religion of Helio, the Corn god. One of our Heroes, Kristen Applebee’s, was raised in this church as ‘Helio’s Chosen One’,  and thus believed herself to be holy. 
The religion on Helio is quite clearly a commentary on corrupt christianity and religious issues, as Kristen’s parents are homophobic towards her, and there is a secret underground cult the ‘Bad Kids’ (Kristen, Adaine, Fig, Gorgug, Fabian and Riz) discover around halfway through the season. In the first battle, when Kristen literally dies and ascends up to heaven, she meet’s Helio, who is the stereotype of a teenage frat boy. All this to say, Kristen later renounces her faith in her religion and abandon’s her church and family for her new one. The person who helps her discover she is a lesbian (and is her girlfriend as of the end of Fantasy High Sophomore Year/ Dimension 20: LIVE) is Tracker O’Shaunessy. 
Tracker is everything Kristen (at their meeting) is not. She is calm, cool, collected, and has renounced her religion long before the season began, as she has lycanthropy, and is a werewolf, in direct opposition to the Church of Helio, worshiping the Moon Goddess Galacia. The exploration of losing your religion and growing into your ‘true’ self, whether that be a werewolf or anything else, is one of the most realistic I have ever seen, probably due to the fact that the show is written, or improvised, by people who went through it in real life. Tracker and Kristen are not without their flaws, but they have a very open and realistic relationship, including the fact that Kristen keeps telling everyone she is gay when she figures herself out for Season 1. It is interesting as well how a relatively small company can better display a lesbian teenage relationship than most streaming giants, and have more than one in the series. 
Fantasy High: Sophomore Year (FHSY, Dimension 20: Live) brings in a new character in Ayda Augefort, Mistress of the Compass Points Library, Daughter of Arthur Augefort, half Phoenix. Arthur Augefort is the principal of the academy most of The Bad Kids go to (Excluding Tracker, Alewyn, and as of Season 2’s ending, Ragh), and the principal of the academy his daughter's girlfriend, Fig Faeth. Ayda Augefort is explicitly autistic, and in a relationship and thriving in a relationship. Unlike most media, the focus during her and Fig’s relationship is not the fact that Ayda is autistic, it is the fact that she is from an entirely different nation than the rest of them, and sometime’s struggles with social cues, and that’s it. It is unbelievably refreshing to see an autistic character's arc not be entirely on autism, but be on her relationships.
 It is also refreshing to see autism being portrayed as normal (literally Ayda stating “This is normal, this is normal.” as Jawbone O’Shaunessy, Tracker’s Uncle and Adaine’s adoptive Father), and not some big bad monster that is needed to be overcome by the character. She is treated as ordinary, not incapable, not babied, and as an equal by her fellow adventurers. So often in the media, autism is a monster, showing someone incapable and unnerving. Ayda is not.
Ayda is just Ayda, and many people would call her the most capable and logical one in the group.
On the complete other side of the Fantasy High Coin Of Romance, we have Riz Gukgak, a cannoncially aromantic, asesexual charcter. Riz, throughout season 1 of Fantasy high, makes fun of his friends and their general ‘horniness’ as teens. He is left feeling isolated and awkward when the topic of sex comes up, whereas the rest of his friends (with perhaps the exemption of Adaine; Though nothing has been confirmed by Tompson or Mulligan regarding her) embrace their teenage years and the conversations surrounding romance and sex with open arms, though sometimes they take a bit of prying to get open, whereas Riz actively rejects it. 
In fact, Riz rejects it so much it leads to the manifestation of Baron from the Baronise, Romance Partner, when the group’s worst fears manifest. To create Baron Riz did something many young, queer teens do, which is make up a lie of a boy/girlfriend or partner to appear perfect, to appear straight and cis and normal, because to many children, normal does exist, and it does for Riz Gukgak, who aspires to be normal in whatever way he can be, leading to Baron. 
Many people agree that Baron is the one of the most horrific elements across any D20 season, even ranking above the current horror season, as Mulligan describes them as having “A voice colder than the grave,” and the fact it’s mouth “Does not move when he talks.” 
Baron can be read as the metaphor for hiding who you are, that you are scared the real you will be ugly, be unattractive and horrific, backed up by the fact that Baron’s first appearance is in a mirror, they are a literal reflection of Riz’s worst fears. That he is unnatural. 
Terrifying.
That Riz Gukgak, aroace goblin (un)-licensed private investigator that he is, is wrong beyond words, a horror only a few unlucky people would comprehend. 
But how on earth could that be true about anyone? How can anybody, human or otherwise, be so horrible nobody wants to spend time with them? Baron says that “The years will go by, and everyone will find someone who matters more to them than you.” and Riz shuts it down. Riz “Seeks the truth so much (he) cuts his hands on the inside of crystals,” (Mulligan as Barron), and his friends love him, even if he is just “The little shrimp of this party.” (Murphy as Riz). 
As a warning, this next section will discuss heavy topics of abuse, torture, anxiety and neglect.
Romantic love is not the only kind of love out there, and it is not the only kind of love covered in Fantasy High. Another prevalent love is the love between sibling, the love Kristen Applebee’s shows her younger brothers when she drops off gold in the beginning of FHSY, but most prevalent is the now unshakeable love between Adaine and Aelwyn Abbernant, two sisters who were abused beyond belief falling apart and coming back together, but only under the most horrible of circumstances that no person, age not important, should ever have to go through. 
Adaine and Aelwyn, in different ways, were both abused by their parents, in a horrific mixture of neglect of Adaine’s needs and favoritism for Aelwyn. To quote BR Parents, “Usually the favorite is the oldest or the baby,” which is true here. Aelwyn is the elder sister, and Adaine is the younger. 
The abuse suffered is also represented by their types of magic, Aelwyn being an abjuration wizard, and Adaine being a divination wizard, specifically the Elven Oracle. Aelwyn’s abjuration magic is a protective force, a literal shield as she shields herself, her true self, from her parents to avoid disappointing them, she gives herself the protection she cannot offer Adaine. Adaine, on the other hand, is a divination wizard, she can see the future that her parents are going to give her, and know what they are going to say about her. In every way for the first season, they are opposites, a diviner who focuses on the future and an abjurer who focuses on the now, Aelwyn working for the ‘bad’ side throughout all of season one resulting in her kidnap and torture in Fallinel throughout most of season 2, Adaine actively fighting against that side to the best of her ability. The abuse also drove a rift between the two girls, with Adaine saying “I feel unsafe!” to withdraw Aelwyn’s diplomatic immunity when she is arrested. 
Terrifyingly, they have their softest sisterly moments between them when Aelwyn is a, to borrow a term from season 1, Palimpsest of a Person. She has been wiped and superimposed over by her country of birth, leaving nothing but a blank slate of a person, and how sad is it that someone who helped with the palimpsest’s in season 1 has now become a human equivalent of the thing she helped make. After this, they have a scene together where Aelwyn’s magic does what it has never done before, it reaches out and protects Adaine from danger directly, instead of watching her handle it herself. (It is important to note the magic here cannot entirely protect the girls, they are still in Flaniell, the danger is all around them, and there are ore elves working for Fallinel than people working with the bad kids.)
In the finale, their love comes to a head, when they end up in a quiet corner of the forest with their parents, alone, and with no other Bad Kids to help them. The importance of the quote “I don’t love our parents, but I do love you. Do you know that? I hope that you know that.” said by Adaine cannot be overstated, as it is finally offering Aelwyn something she has never had, unconditional love. Up until this point, Aelwyn has always believed she was only loved because she worked for people, loved by her parents because she worked for them, was at Hudol because they told her to be, ‘loved’ by Kalvaxous because she worked for him kidnapping the girls. 
Adaine offers her none of that, Adaine offers her something new, and she is uncomfortable with it. She is unsure whether she deserves love, after all she has done, and, before passing out (not dying) in her sister's arms, gives an affirmative response to “Will you be my big sister? I would really love to have you as a big sister.”. Aelwyn passing out here is another thing that can be read as her truly leaving her old self behind, her Father is dead and her Mother is missing. She is starting to accept she truly can be loved at the end of season 2, and in the “Boys Night” one-shot has even found a group of friends of her own with Zayn Darkshadow and Ragh Backrock. 
Another familial form of love is shown in Tracker and Jawbone O’Shaunessy, two lycanthropes assumed to be disgraced from their family due to their condition. Tracker is first met in The Black Pit, where her Uncle Jawbone is working security. At first, it is not said that the two werewolves are related in any way, but this is later discovered when Tracker comes to Augefort Academy to see “(My) Uncle Jawbone”.  Tracker states, in one of her first scenes, tells Kristen that she has been kicked out of her house by her parents because she doubted her religion, the same way Kristen did. Thus, Uncle Jawbone took her in, and they live together. 
Jawbone is not only shown to have parental affection for Tracker, as at the end of season 2 he asks permission to formally adopt Adaine, and also becomes a Father figure for Fig, Kristen, and Ragh when they all move into Mordred Manor, some at the start, some at the end, of season 2. However, none of this could have happened if Jawbone had not met our Intrepid Heroes themselves, and turned his life around from a drug-dealing werewolf to a licensed guidance counselor. 
Speaking of our intrepid heroes, and to close off the section on Fantasy high, it would be a shame not to discuss the group that the main cast play as a collective, The Bad Kids. If I described the Bad Kids, you would think something was wrong with them. As of the end of season 2, they contain an Arch-Devil of Rebellion, The Prophet of a Forgotten God, The Elven Oracle, a (now) licensed private investigator, A former champion bard who said the quote “Toxic masculinity is dead, I dance now,” and briefly had a fling with The Elven Oracle’s sister, and A half-orc adopted by gnomes. Their names, in order, are Fig Faeth, Kristen Applebee’s, Adaine Abbernant, Riz Gukgak, Fabian Aramais Seacaster, and Gorgug Thistlespring. 
Though their relationship started on rocky territory, with Fabian and Gorgug getting into a fight upon their first meeting, they quickly became friends after being forged in fire in the Clash of The Corn Cuties, and grow close to the point where they cannot live without each other. When Mulligan tries to force Willson (Fabian) to walk away from the group towards the end of Sophomore Year, he actively asks for Adaine, only for Mulligan to cut him off by saying “Sorry, no.” 
In the very first interaction they have all the way back in season 1, upon meeting Adaine for the first time, Fig’s (Axford) first instinct is to lie to protect her from Goldenhoard, and from getting in trouble on the first day. Fig reassures her that she is cool when she starts to have a panic attack, and helps her through many from that day forward. Fabian also instantly knew that Riz was in danger in the beginning of FHSY due to the fact he didn’t pick up his phone on the first ring. 
The girls start living with each other at the beginning of FHSY, moving into Mordred Manor with Tracker, Sandra Lynn (Fig’s Mother), and Jawbone. This shows how, finally, they have accepted each other into their lives and are ready to do anything together. It also gives Adaine the family she deserves. 
In conclusion, Fantasy High and Dimension 20’s portrayal of love is so unbelievably real and genuine, and one of the best ones out there currently. There is no complicated love triangle, there is little dramatics, and everyone is respectful.

Round 1 - Side B
Tumblr media
Propaganda below ⬇️
Kristen
Once known as a Chosen of Helio, Kristen lost faith, found out she was gay, escaped the abusive church, and helps a lonely abused goddess return from the dead and continue the goddess of mystery. She also ends up creating her own god in the middle there, but decides it's kind of super annoying and eventually nopes out.
Kristen might be skirting a couple lines here so I'll provide my reasoning for why I think she might belong in the competition but feel free to choose as you wish. Kristen used to follow Helio, and her entire relationship with religion and Helio is meant to show a story of a queer teen leaving an abusive Christian church (I'm not sure if it's specifically Catholic or not, I'm Jewish and don't really understand the differences very well). Throughout the story Kristen meets Helio, finds out how much of a dick he is, finds out how terrible the Church has been and becomes more aware of how her family and the Church are racist/homophobic/abusive/etc., learns more about the world and breaks her ties with the Church, and then goes to find her own faith and a god worth worshipping.
girl is miserable for so much of the first season. girl is battling the brain demons. girl is battling the actual demons. and the actual angels. and the football coach who she knows from church. girl has brothers named bucky bricker and cork. girl invents a new god and cannot get people to convert to her faith apart from a singular dude named craig because she is so visibly annoyed by her own god. girl is gay and has a werewolf girlfriend. girl is so kinky. girl has a dexterity score of 4. not modifier. score. i'm kissing girl on the mouth i love her a lot.
She was a chosen prophet of Helio but oops she’s a very lesbian and so she has to battle with her faith hating gay people as she realizes she is gay people. Early on dies and goes to heaven and discovers Helio is a frat bro and doesn’t really vibe with that. Eventually dies again and fights past angels to get to Helios office and finds her old principal (who died to resurrect her the first time she died, it’s a long story, watch dimension 20, shits wild). And so he makes a deal to help her if she helps him break out of heaven. And also while she’s in heaven she makes a new god whole cloth out of her current beliefs. (She later finds that god annoying because it’s the embodiment of “YES! WOW! YOU CAN DO IT!!” The god turns from YES! Into Yes? In her changing faith. She later resurrects an old god of dreams who was corrupted). But yeah so she has religious trauma out the wazoo. She went to church camp that was actually a front for a cult within the Helioic faith. Idk if it’s Catholicism exactly cause I’m not catholic but it’s clearly parallel so some real world Christ based religion.
At one point they drop 10 stories because they thought they could use their ribbon to fly. They couldn’t.
her entire arc over fantasy high's first season is realizing she was gay and also that her church and the people in it were basically a cult which like SAMESIES and she does end up going to heaven after dying by slipping on corn and getting incredibly disappointed by the jesus equivalent of her universe (his name is helio and he is a frat boy) and after she's resurrected she makes her own god (not very catholic sorry) and preaches about it (pretty catholic of her tbh.) aside from the religious trauma some other kristen fun facts and highlights are that she once ribbon danced down the center of a spiral staircase and lived, she carried a bible around for a good chunk of her freshman year of high school, and her last name isn't a reference to anything because applebees does not exist in the world of fantasy high.

Catholic deer girl. She’s just nature themed. Wants to have access to a Catholic phone line. But is not allowed to due to it risking the possibility of exposing SCPs to the world. But she has a rosary. Just unhinged.
She was just left in a convent and was raised catholic. But I love her because she has the most unhinged father and she's close to getting there istg

i can’t find the original post that theorises it but it would be so poetic if Helio, dudebro corn god, was revealed to be the shifted and transformed remains of the dead-ish rage god of fire and the sun.
This is probably incorrect but I think the original god, before they were corrupted and made to solely represent rage was Ruvina’s unnamed summer god, the idea that warmth of the fiery ball in the sky allows for the land to flourish coupled with the knowledge that fire burns and consumes what it can touch.
Maybe that original god was just as passionate and full of life as the fire and season they represented. Like how most of the gods in the greek pantheon can be as petty and spiteful as humans tend to be.
But when Sol won out in the end, taking the dominion over the sun maybe Sol took what was left of the god, remaking them into someone more palatable and more easily controlled, scraping away their original symbols, their rage, their destruction and their passion. Splitting the original deity into what is now known as Helio and this rage god.
And then you have Kristen Applebees. A chosen of Helio who had left the religion, created a new god, and then resurrected Cassandra, who was at one time the original god’s partner.
Does the rage god care for their other half? Would they see Kristen’s betrayal of the kinder aspect of themselves and begin to seethe? Would they see Kristens lack of dedication to Cassandra and be disgusted? Is that why they taunt Kristen with the rotting corpse of yes?
Side note: there was a pyramid (i think) in the junior year trailer and I have a whack side theory about how that and the 24 pointed star relate to the egyptian sun god Ra and how the rage god’s resurrection happens after the summer of night connects to the myth of Ra dying and getting resurrected everyday.

Teenage Confusion and Other Bullshit
today was a whole ass fever dream but here’s a fanfiction i wrote about kristen applebees and fig faeth being sapphique. it’s very rough because it was written while i was dying of 1am diseases but still.
next up in my d20 fanfiction adventures: fic about zelda donavan and her cool ass family; fic about pete the plug... doing something...
commissions | ao3 link to come... soon.
                                                            -
“And, I don’t know, it’s like—am I gay?” Kristen is sprawled out on the beanbag chair, staring vacantly at the ceiling. “I don’t feel gay.”
“And how exactly do you think being gay feels?” replies Fig, who has been flipping through TV channels for the last five minutes, desperately trying to find something to watch. It isn’t that she doesn’t like being around Kristen; most of the time it’s quite the opposite. Kristen is (usually unintentionally) funny and interesting and easily corruptible. Also, she has very limited taste in music and thus believes that Fig’s music is the absolute epitome of rock and roll, so she’s great to have around for ego-stroking.
The problem usually arises in all the existential wondering about whether or not Kristen is normal or if there is an afterlife with a god who can prevent suffering or whatever. She’s not sure whether or not it’s a cleric thing or just a Kristen thing. It’s probably a mix of both.
“I don’t know—that’s part of the problem! I don’t know any of this stuff. All I know is corn and the various ways it can be used to cleanse one’s soul and also their digestive tract!”
“I mean, you also know how to jack off with it, presumably—”
“It was one time! And I told you that in confidence.”
“You told the entire group and my dad,” says Fig.
“Yes! In confidence! That fact is between you and me and the rest of our friend group. And also your dad. And also Basrar and whoever else was in his ice cream shop that day.” Kristen’s face is in her hands, now.
Full disclosure, there’s something really charming about Kristen, even when she’s crying about the relative privacy in which she told risque corn stories. Fig feels a grin tug at the corners of her lips.
“Why are you smiling? Stop smiling! This isn’t a smiling matter, Fig,” Kristen says. “I might be gay! As in, you know, a lesbian! Like, I would like girls,” she sighs. “And I don’t even know how I would begin to tell my parents! Or my prayer group! And—shit—what if I have to tell them I don’t believe in Helio?”
“I think you’d probably start with that?” Fig muses. “I mean, I’d personally start with it. Something like, ‘hey mom and dad, I don’t believe in god! Also, I’m gay!’ It’ll really cushion the blow,” she pauses. “Or, well, maybe you’d wanna do it the reverse way? Which news do you think is worse?”
“Definitely the gay thing—no, wait, the god thing—no, wait—ugh!” Kristen groans. “What is worse news, to them? I know my mom is totally looking forward to granchildren, which is dumb, but I have brothers, so—”
“Probably the god thing,” interjects Fig. “I mean, personally I think atheism is really metal, but your parents are weird.”
“You really think so?”
“Yeah man, fuck the system. Kristen Applebees bows to no corn gods or authority figures.”
“Thanks, Fig.” Kristen actually manages a bit of a smile at that. “Though I’m not really committed to atheism just yet. I think I’m just… kind of in-between gods right now? Like, on a religion hiatus or something. You get it, right?”
“Totally.” Fig does not get it.
The conversation goes on for a bit with little fanfare, up until Kristen leans back in her bean bag again and sighs. “I just can’t believe I might be gay.”
Fig raises an eyebrow, and something possesses her to ask one question that’s been on her mind since this whole conversation began. “What’s with the ‘might be?’”
“Well, I haven’t really been able to test it,” Kristen says, before meeting eyes with Fig. “The thing with that Tracker girl could have been a total fluke, for all I know.”
“You don’t need to test it,” says Fig. “I feel like it’s something you can figure out on your own.”
“Fig, you’ve known me for a while—do I seem very good at figuring things out on my own?”
“Okay, you have a point there.” Fig is quiet after that, at least for a moment, as she thinks about the situation at hand. Or, to be more accurate, as she barely thinks about it at all. Suddenly, she is at full standing, making her way over to Kristen’s bean bag and then kneeling to be at eye-height with her.
“It’s just that, I dunno, I’d like to have an experience like that one day, maybe, if only to have it. And, I guess it’d be nice just to clear up all of this confusion—whoa, you’re really close.”
“Yep,” says Fig. At this distance, Kristen’s freckles are really apparent. The way her hair curls around her cheeks and chin is kind of cute, too. “Are you done talking?”
Kristen tugs on the hem of her shirt awkwardly. “I guess, yeah.”
“Good.” Fig tries to figure out how she’s going to go about this—she wonders if there’s a specific angle that would be better? She’s done this before, but those were eighth grade experiences, and some of those guys totally owe her one for letting them get to second base just so they could brag to their friends about it—and, you know what? She doesn’t even have to think about this. Anything is better than the experience of having a tweenage boy’s hands clumsily pawing the outside of her shirt.
Kristen kind of squeaks when Fig kisses her, which is pretty cute. Her hands flail aimlessly before settling on Fig’s sides—it’s kind of a weird, light pressure, so it feels like a ghost crawling around on Fig’s skin. Pretty cool, though. She pulls away from the kiss with an altogether positive impression of Kristen’s mouth.
“So,” she says, “are you any less confused?”
“No!” Kristen immediately starts babbling. “If anything, I’m more confused! So much more confused! And kind of vaguely horny? But mostly confused!”
“I see,” says Fig. Whoops. “I mean, would kissing again solve any of it?”
“I—” Kristen opens her mouth, before closing it and contemplating, “you know what? Yeah.”
They kiss again. It’s pretty fucking metal.

Round 2 - Side B
Tumblr media
Propaganda below ⬇️
Dracule Mihawk
Okay so he wears a cross necklace and his sword looks like he has a cross on his back. Like yeah hes a gothy bitch but got that Catholic vibes trust me also got that catholic vampire 18th century facial hair
his weapon is a giant bedazzled cross sword and if he held up his arms he’d look like he was being crucified on it. he’s spanish *and* dracula coded. puss in boots has been accepted and this is his human counterpart.
he keeps sipping red wine, what’s that if not the blood of christ?? also his hobby is gardening and he adopted two orphans. catholic mom.
a vote for mihawk is a vote for all of the forgotten one piece characters
Kristen
Once known as a Chosen of Helio, Kristen lost faith, found out she was gay, escaped the abusive church, and helps a lonely abused goddess return from the dead and continue the goddess of mystery. She also ends up creating her own god in the middle there, but decides it's kind of super annoying and eventually nopes out.
Kristen might be skirting a couple lines here so I'll provide my reasoning for why I think she might belong in the competition but feel free to choose as you wish. Kristen used to follow Helio, and her entire relationship with religion and Helio is meant to show a story of a queer teen leaving an abusive Christian church (I'm not sure if it's specifically Catholic or not, I'm Jewish and don't really understand the differences very well). Throughout the story Kristen meets Helio, finds out how much of a dick he is, finds out how terrible the Church has been and becomes more aware of how her family and the Church are racist/homophobic/abusive/etc., learns more about the world and breaks her ties with the Church, and then goes to find her own faith and a god worth worshipping.
girl is miserable for so much of the first season. girl is battling the brain demons. girl is battling the actual demons. and the actual angels. and the football coach who she knows from church. girl has brothers named bucky bricker and cork. girl invents a new god and cannot get people to convert to her faith apart from a singular dude named craig because she is so visibly annoyed by her own god. girl is gay and has a werewolf girlfriend. girl is so kinky. girl has a dexterity score of 4. not modifier. score. i'm kissing girl on the mouth i love her a lot.
She was a chosen prophet of Helio but oops she’s a very lesbian and so she has to battle with her faith hating gay people as she realizes she is gay people. Early on dies and goes to heaven and discovers Helio is a frat bro and doesn’t really vibe with that. Eventually dies again and fights past angels to get to Helios office and finds her old principal (who died to resurrect her the first time she died, it’s a long story, watch dimension 20, shits wild). And so he makes a deal to help her if she helps him break out of heaven. And also while she’s in heaven she makes a new god whole cloth out of her current beliefs. (She later finds that god annoying because it’s the embodiment of “YES! WOW! YOU CAN DO IT!!” The god turns from YES! Into Yes? In her changing faith. She later resurrects an old god of dreams who was corrupted). But yeah so she has religious trauma out the wazoo. She went to church camp that was actually a front for a cult within the Helioic faith. Idk if it’s Catholicism exactly cause I’m not catholic but it’s clearly parallel so some real world Christ based religion.
At one point they drop 10 stories because they thought they could use their ribbon to fly. They couldn’t.
her entire arc over fantasy high's first season is realizing she was gay and also that her church and the people in it were basically a cult which like SAMESIES and she does end up going to heaven after dying by slipping on corn and getting incredibly disappointed by the jesus equivalent of her universe (his name is helio and he is a frat boy) and after she's resurrected she makes her own god (not very catholic sorry) and preaches about it (pretty catholic of her tbh.) aside from the religious trauma some other kristen fun facts and highlights are that she once ribbon danced down the center of a spiral staircase and lived, she carried a bible around for a good chunk of her freshman year of high school, and her last name isn't a reference to anything because applebees does not exist in the world of fantasy high.

Caesar Zeppeli Propaganda
(Spoiler for anyone who hasn’t JoJo’d) man gets crushed by a cross shaped rock :(( cries. Also they should have made him do the cross at some point I think that would’ve been fun. Oh also I saw someone draw him as the Fallen Angel painting once and I was like ???? bro is literally Catholic and a Good Guy why would you do this (no hate I just. I honestly have a thing with hating when people redraw good characters as that painting but it’s mostly the mental illness talking so whatever) this isn’t even related idk if this is a thing that should be typed here but. Also his birthday is on the Catholic feast day of Julian of Norwich my beloved I know this because it is Also My Birthday.
He’s Italian, he’s homoerotically involved with Joseph and somehow also divorced from him, he wears pastels, his go-to attack is bubbles, and he died being crushed by a giant rock shaped like a cross.
