I’m working on a troll who’s based around the idea of Bathos, essentially undercutting tragedy with comedy. I have them as a Bard of Light because I see that classpect as that one person who takes nothing seriously and can just, erode ideas or knowledge just by lazily disagreeing whilst offering no opinions. What do you think of this interpretation, and what do you think suits the idea of Bathos as a primary theme?

I like the idea, as far as I’ve seen looking it up, rather than Tragedy with Comedy, it seems more related to an Anticlimax of sorts dropping the escalating mood- Not unlike a lot of Homestuck itself actually, like how [S] Descend escalates up to the Strife between Jack and Bro and it just. Cuts to shows us Squiddles.

A Bard of Light would be good for this, the climax, the relevancy, the importance of a scene, suddenly Destroyed through the Bard’s Actions, it’d work well!
