thistle got tired of craning his neck to talk to laios. can you really treat the king this way, though...?
Thistle and Marcille had the exact same desire at their heart. To not be left alone in this world and be doomed to an eternal cycle of watching their loved ones pass before them. The difference lay in the execution.
Thistle, after experiencing the trauma of the king’s death and Delgal’s desperate pleas to save his son’s life, sought to give the people he loved immortality. To him, death itself was the enemy. His desire to erase suffering was so noble, in a way that only a child could feasibly commit to. But it did not make the people of the kingdom happy, for it stripped them of meaning and condemned them to an eternity of sameness. They could not help but grow dissatisfied, having that control of their destiny forcefully stripped from them.
Marcille, though, her approach was different. Instead of wanting to force everyone into eternal life, she merely wanted to give everyone the same lifespan. It’s like Thistle’s desire, but more well thought out. More reasonable towards people’s agency, and preserving the finite nature of the world even the demon found so alluring. After all, she’d had time, and support, and the opportunity to meet people of all kinds and learn from them. It truly would’ve been the most delectable desire the demon had ever eaten, if it had gotten the chance.
But at their core, the shape of their desire was the same. To feel connected and equal to those around them. And thankfully, though it may be difficult to achieve, with the help of others such a dream doesn’t require magic to make a reality.
Before I watch the new episode everyone promise to be normal
