Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
Whoever made that Kipperlily Copperkettle playlist that is exclusively The Mountain Goats music understands me.
Thinking about the clerics of the Ratgrinders
I guess I just had the thought of “What if Lucy was watching everything happen?” And just how she would feel looking at Buddy and his excitement. Lucy watching as Buddy went through (presumably) the same as she did. Buddy being unaware of the depth of Lucy’s tragedy. Being so hopeful and enthusiastic to help people, and Kipperlilly is “brilliant”. And Helio would never steer him the wrong way.
The Ratgrinders didn’t deserve you two, maybe the High 5 Heroes did.

thinking about how kipperlilly even knew who riz was or why he was important and - riz was spying on porter and jace when they were investigating the cafeteria to make sure they didn't try to cover it up. even if he didn't spot riz, porter then went to check on the bad kids of whom riz was missing. it wouldn't be suspicious at all for porter to look into the kid who randomly disappeared after the principal died, in fact very sensible to check for his guardian and address to make sure he gets home safe.
maybe he asks someone from his rogue class if she knows anything. mentions that goldenhoard seemed to be very interested about his dad. pretends he's just concerned about a kid with a tough home life witnessing a murder on his first day.
maybe in her little black-and-white mind that means he's getting special treatment. maybe that was what porter intended.
we need a kipperlilly special on the complicated women podcast - she willingly chose to be possessed, those are some complex ethical and philosophical ramifications. for the sake of the argument i'm assuming porter also has control over her since the shatter star is a part of her, because the morality of choosing to become evil is so interesting. did she think she was going to become a hero somehow, or did she accept that she would have to be a villain to have the power she wanted? she wanted to be better than the bad kids but she kept her moral superiority about fairness and the rules, so was she aware that she couldn't beat the bad kids by playing fair? was her anger always at her own inadequacy, at the fact that she could never excel in the same way they did without cheating? was she projecting the entire time?
this has ruined by life because there's no way they'll actually get together and you have made me CRAVE enemies to lovers kipperbees. imagining their wedding rn how dare you do this to me
this is Kristen and kipperlilly to me
(also wow they are very Kristen and fig core. Ex-religious sexually active gay murder sister vs Badass rockstar closed off murder sister)
The Rat Grinders have no right to be such cool characters but here we are
Kipperlilly is an NPC and her whole thing is that she’s upset she isn’t more interesting. She’s literally mad she isn’t a main character. Doomed by the narrative from the start. Doomed by the method of her own creation. Never given a choice to be anything different. Never given any choices at all.
I feel like a series of very funny bits is a good way to win a high school student government position. Kristen is campaigning and it’s probably at least decently effective, especially next to Four Dogs who no one likes
I love how Kipperlilly Copperkettle was so clearly meant to be a foil for Riz but instead Kristen decides to run for president. Not the guy who needed more extracurriculars, but the person who really needs to focus on a completely different thing or a god will die and she will fail school. Then Adaine decides she hates Kipperlilly and starts calling her anything besides her actual name. Riz doesn’t seem more specifically bothered by her than the other ratgrinders. Ally has gone so unhinged this season it is messing with Brennans narrative plans
Oh shit, the dropout newsletter specifically says that this next episode is going to be about kipperlilly’s backstory-
Part of me hopes that her story is kind of stupid and undeserving of how much hatred she has towards the bad kids. Like, with how many corners the Rat Grinders cut to get where they are, I feel like some super sad reason for her to be as spiteful as she is would be just… unsatisfying.
Maybe it’s just some sort of weird obsession? With her file from Jawbone’s office mentioning Riz all the way from freshman year, it would make more sense to be a jealousy of skills, and all the grinding was a futile attempt to imitate the power that the bad kids got from their adventuring prowess. But there has to be some kind of deeper reasoning for her to have been so bent out of shape about it, right?
