NARRATIVELY SIGNIFICANT, IF THAT MATTERS IN THE FACE OF WHAT IT WAS… quite literally stories are what we tell ourselves to give meaning to the meaningless and tim’s story was a revenge tragedy in which he never succeeded in getting revenge, which leaves only tragedy… like. he wanted to get his brother back, and he never even found out what happened to him. he wanted to kill elias, and elias led him to his death. he wanted to avenge sasha, and the thing that ate her outlived him. WHAT DO YOU DO with someone who orients their whole life towards revenge and then doesn’t get any!!!!!! what do you DO with someone who goes out in a blaze of glory heroically ruining a ritual that you later learn was already ruined anyway!!!! when someone whose life revolves around revenge dies before they revenge themselves, what happens!!! when jon finally drives the knife into elias and says “this is for tim,” is there even anything left of tim to feel satisfied?? is there anything left to avenge???
