On Tirek and Scorpan · 2:48am Aug 21st, 2021
As I write about Tirek, I remember his first appearance in season 4. I recall how he represented self doubt as he would sap your energy and strength and force you to bow to his will. And I know in this story, he is a metaphor for my "older male self", as in, the self doubt I have at points... Now, like Starshine points out in the unreleased portion, we cannot kill him! After all, to kill him would be to kill myself. And so, the question becomes, what does Scorpan represent now? I think, in a deeper sense, Scorpan represents absolution and coming to terms with myself. He has muscles and power, sure! But he is also wise in the ways of friendship and a good and benevolent ruler in the Centaur-lands. I think this means that I need to learn to be good and benevolent to myself and not be afraid to take risks sometimes. After all, even after all this time and everything that has happened, Scorpan is still willing to discuss things with his long-lost brother.
