My Opinion on Episode 107, Conversation between the Arc Heart & Bells Hells

So basically, the Arc Heart is leaning towards team Ludinous. The Arc heart is one of the two divine gods who want to move on, we don’t know the other god. They are basically saying that they want to run, but they know that the others would only run if they had something to fear. The only thing that they will fear would be Predathos. He is practically telling them a plan that he wants to happen. Imogen and/or Fearne since they are the only Ruidousborn who know this plan would take Predathos, take that sacrifice, not know what would happen to them. They don’t know anything about a vessel, they think that Imogen and Fearne could take control, using Laudna as an example. They would become one with Predathos, take control, and make the gods fear them so that gods would want to fear.

I think this is a little selfish, in the perspective of someone who is just hearing this conversation. But for someone who watched the faults and hardships of the god in Downall, this is selfish, but I kind of get it. The Arc Heart had feelings like his children, like mortals, he cares for his family and thinks that need to move on. They think that mortals could evolve, if they didn’t rely on the gods. They don’t know what would happen to the vessels that would take Predathos, but he is still asking for them to make that sacrifice, he is asking for help, he realises that the gods need help. I think this makes the cast as players and as Bells Hells, especially Imogen/Laura and Ferne/Ashley. I think Matt wants them to think how to approach Predathos and their decision of being Ruidusborn. I think that Laura and/or Ashley would need to make complicated saves and decisions when it comes to Predathos, and Matt wants to expose these different perspectives to build up the complex decisions they would need to make in the end.

I’m writing this as the conversation goes on, the Arc Heart is sounding more selfish. He said that Predathos wouldn’t care about the mortals because they are like ants to us, small and worthless but there would be mass destruction and cataclysms. He is basically saying that the gods are all he wants, he wants the Ruidusborn to possess him so they would have a head start.

This is the build up and I think this comes back to the opinion about Imogen’s current position in the narrative in a reblog. Matt is basically building up the narrative and we have known that Laura/Imogen will greatly impact the narrative, that’s why she is currently taking a backspot when the topic could refer to Bells Hells as a whole or individuals. Ashley is becoming more of a central character because her father and they are currently in the Feywild and might need to do the same as Laura and take a backspot before that arc where Predathos and their decisions would be very important, especially with the current arc where Bells Hells would be in direct contact with the gods. Fearne as a Ruidusborn wasn’t really built up as much as Imogen, partly because we didn’t know that she was Ruidusborn until later and again with her position as a Ruidusborn until everything was revealed with her backstory and it is still being built up.

With all of this, especially with this plan, Bells Hells would most likely be presented with a few perspectives of the gods. We know 2, to fight Predathos or to use Predathos as a subject of fear so the gods would run. With their already split opinions, these perspectives would change on how they think and their decisions in these final arcs

I just want to voice my opinion about this and I do want to be a little more social on this account so voice your opinion on this if you agree or not! See you all next Thursday!
