The Many Deaths of Ursula · 2:57pm Jul 6th, 2023
Interesting how her demise evolved over time. Now if only I could pick a worthy death for Tirek in my Daughter of Discord: Of Love and Darkness story. I know one of these might be perfect if handled correctly, I just need to choose one.
Maybe a combined magic blast from Mothball and Screwball takes him out? They aren't exactly on the ocean.
Like their love kiss from the original story? Well, I was considering that idea. In fact, I had this idea where both Mothball andn Screwball have a "think big" moment, and go past the limits of their abilities: he turns into a dragon to fight Tirek's giant form while Screwy conjures an airship with a broken tip in a bid to impale TIrek through his heart. Mothball holds him off, but is ultimately beaten, just as Screwball comes in with her ship. Unfortunately, he sees this coming and blasts the ship with his magic. He mocks them with the "So much for true love" line, which inspires Screwball to try the love spell. It banishes the changelings, and burns Tirek to ashes because of his black heart being unable to withstand that much concentrated love. He dies, the land is restored, his slaves are freed and the rest is history. Does that sound good?
That second draft where he somehow stopped a giant-ass trident with a tiny harpoon was just funny.
