They Said That Bookworm Has No Powers, But I Don’t… Believe That. Not Necessarily. I Think Something
They said that Bookworm has no powers, but I don’t… believe that. Not necessarily. I think something more behind the scenes is getting set up here.
Especially with him stealing that book of demons.
Long post that could be entirely off the rails, so disregard this addendum you like the first part better
There’s two scenarios that I’m playing out here, I could be totally off, but hear me out a moment.
First, and probably the most unlikely, Bookworm is dealing with a chaos demon first hand. So either there’s a physical demon trying to get him or one of his friends is dealing with one.
Bookworm wanted to fight the side plot demon on his own and so is now studying them, or even how to control them. Maybe even he found a book like ashe’s and is trying to understand it more. It’s a fun storyline that ends with pd going to rescue him after getting in over his head and they go out for pizza. Bookworm might get some magic powers and the boys have memories about Ashe.
Second concept is that Lightspeed told him what happened to Wordsmith.
And she can’t stop herself from telling him everything. It’s justified, because, he deserves to know, right?
Wordsmith brought him on missions for a reason, he’s practically a hero, he should be given the same information the heros got.
But he’s not a hero, he’s a kid. A kid who has seen horrors and creatures and now is being told demons are real and one of them hurt his uncle.
Bookworm has the intelligence of William, the tenacity of Dakota, and the street smarts/common sense of Vyncent. He was able to sneak out of his house, traverse how many miles he needed to in order to get a book. He’s also a fucking kid. I can’t stress how much he shouldn’t be in this situation.
But like I said he’s smart. He knows people and their powers, and can recognize those powers and what they can do. He called out William, immediately knowing the ghost shaping, and William isn’t even a major hero. Bookworm knew all of their powers by heart. If in the future he gets into any tactical strategic position, I could see him thriving.
And I kinda think that’s where I think it’s gonna go. Bookworm is angry, he’s smart, and I really hope he’s smart enough to know not to go into this alone. I think, and heres where I go off the rails, but I think Bookworm is going to get a group of friends, maybe friends still figuring out their powers. He’s gonna help them train, like his uncle helped him, like he watched Lightspeed and Archangel do. And once Bookworm and his friends are ready they’re gonna try and get revenge for his uncle
Or he could make a deal with a devil for his uncle to come back.
That’s an option too

Loremaster Pix, along with being an archeologist and historian, is also an avid conspiracy theorist. He camps out in the Evermoore looking for the Frog Man. He looks for demons in the nether. He’ll lecture you on how a cave was likely formed by some horrible earthquake, theorized to be caused by the great Rapture, and then he’ll immediately tell you all about the totally real Redstone Lady that lives in the cave and eats creepers.
Thanatos was raised as a human. Not matter how robotic his mind and body may be, there’s still humanity in him.
Seriously tho I love this post so much
Ok I gotta talk about apotheosis again cuz it’s so good and the characters are amazing. And as much as I want to write a thesis on how Peter could become more powerful than all of them, or Rumi’s need for perfection, I really wanna talk about Thanatos.
Cuz Thanatos is the softest motherfucker in the whole crew.
Don’t laugh yet, hear me out.
The man (robot?) gave up the opportunity to kill a god with his bare hands so Peter could feel a bit more powerful. That’s honestly a big deal for his character. He is created to kill gods, but when Peter asks if he could finish him, Thanatos relents and circumvents his programming. A god still dies, so his program is satisfied, but he’s not the one to do it.
And that seems to be the case with a lot of his actions. His instincts, his heart, is covered by the cold logic of his programming. And honestly, I’m talking about the bear jacket. He didn’t need to try and make Rumi and Peter jackets. That’s not furthering his goal. Neither of them have shown any indication of needing a coat. Rumi would die before he was caught shivering and with Exandroths affinity for fire it’s a wonder Peter knows what cold is. There’s no reason for it, no logic, but Thanatos cares about them. He wants to help them, even by providing just some little creature comforts. It wouldn’t surprise me if in his childhood he had a lot of fur coats or blankets. It’s simultaneously trivial and meaningful.
So that brings us to his sister. And this highlights exactly how much he cares. Cuz he can’t bring himself to say her name. I think he’s said it once or twice, but he keeps distancing himself from her. He still loves her. Denying it and distancing himself from the person he knew is a coping mechanism to protect his painfully soft heart. Even though it’s a point of pride for him to be a godslayer, when it comes to the blight of faith, there is no honor, no glory. He still loves her, like any good brother.
That’s why Rumi’s hope, and his pleads for Thanatos to give the blights a chance, to give Thanatos himself a chance fall on deaf ears. He loves too much. And hope hurts.
It’s not that he’s too tough, or too cold to accept Rumi’s suggestions. It’s that the hope there could be a happy ending for him, or for anyone he loves would hurt him far too much.
people see news of 200+ palestinians being killed in one attack and scroll or think about it for about a minute then move on. but if 200+ people died in an attack in the west it would be mainstream news and all people spoke about for weeks. i know the numbers of palestinians being killed are astronomical and its impossible to keep up (which is absolutely sickeningly horrifying, there are no words), but the lack of value placed in palestinians lives and disregard shown is insane
There is no shared white history. Europeans all hated each other from the first settlers up until the 1500s. No Italian has even fucking heard the word “Odin” until long after (”white”) christian missionaries nearly eradicated that religion. If you and I are both white than our ancestors probably fucking hated each other. Hell, if you’re a white mutt like me, various roots of your own family tree fucking hated each other and considered each other foreign savage barbarians. The only thing that unifies the white race is skin color and privilege, and neither of those things fill me with any kind of pride.

I have no idea if I came up with this or saw it somewhere but. Hermitcraft head canon that Tango wears red classes cause he’s a nether born, and the Nether has colors that nether mobs/hybrids can see cause of adapted eyesight. So when Tango gets to the overworld, he wears the glasses because otherwise there would be an overwhelming amount of colors
