You Know, While It Still Would Be Extremely Satisfying For Gorgug To Land The Killing Blow On Porter,

you know, while it still would be extremely satisfying for Gorgug to land the killing blow on Porter, I think it might be even more so if he's not the one to do it. Like, yeah, showing Porter that Gorgug's way of Raging isn't wrong would be cool, but one of the gripes Porter had with it was that it was protective; he said protective Rage would not be as effective as an aggressive one. The other Bad Kids don't have the (capital r) Rage - but they sure as hell are protective of each other, and would rather go down themselves than let the others (examples: Kristen going up to the ship despite her shit Dex to make sure Gorgug stays up, Fabian constantly baiting enemies to attack him, Riz compelling Kalina to duel etc.); and try to tell me that seeing Gorgug, who's been regularly taking so much damage to for them, whose Rage has been nothing but protective, who's been fucking manipulated by Porter, his fucking teacher, to stray away from that, held unconscious (and on the verge of death, let's be fucking honest) in said teachers fist would not send that protectiveness into overdrive. And then the battle isn't just Protective Rage vs Aggressive Rage; no, it's now also Rage without Protectiveness vs Protectiveness without Rage. And in the end, Protectiveness will win, if only for the fact that it makes determination that much stronger; to quote a fanfic "Love can be even more terrifying than fear itself" because yeah, some of them are under the frightened condition from Porter; but they all love each other more than they are afraid of him. And I think that would be beautiful (and also still squash Porters theory that protectiveness isn't powerful)

it seems I was right that something was happening to Gorgug this season

No one in the Thistlespring family is defeating the machine fucker allegations

Tough.

the difference in the way Porter treated Fig vs Gorgug is fascinating and disturbing in hindsight. Fig always impressed him and it's clear that while he was manipulating her and using her, his end goal was that she'd be an accomplice. He encouraged her and steered her direction how he wanted it to go, but he clearly did want her to be a paladin to him once he became a god. He wanted her to choose him, in a twisted fed lies, honey pot kind of way as he encouraged the fun side of things to Fig (which is just so creepy still)

Gorgug on the otherhand, he was constantly placing Gorgug under intense stress and suffering in the guise of it being a concerned teacher, even in previous years he's always had contempt for Gorgug. Knowing he has an ability to control students with a particular Rage Token, whatever that is in their out-of-meta terminology, it's disturbing how hard he tried to make Gorgug reach his limits and lose his free will completely over years, not just junior year though it certainly picked up but since the start. He openly hated Gorgug and he clearly does not want Gorgug as an accomplice the way he wants Fig to be...

He wants Gorgug as a pet

im beginning to think there’s something lgbt going on between these two
