not all dogs go to heaven.
I mean, underdogs don't.
and now that I've turned my inner young Sathyre off and turned my inner older Sathyre on
I imagine that's what'd happen if Sathyre-younger and Sathyre-older met. "LOL YOU'RE SO GRUMPY GET THAT MASSIVE POLE OUT OF YOUR ASS" "stfu lighthouse I do what I want" "YOU'RE SO CUTE /patpat" "aaaargh"
Oh, I've missed those depreciating nicknames.

Underdogs are kind of a funny thing, don't you think? They make me think of Proletariats in Communism: the poor and hardworking who tend to be exploited.
Rise up against the Bourgeois! Revolt! Claim that power that oppresses you and change everything!
...And subsequently become the Bourgeois for the next oppressed people.
Underdogs lose what makes them so appealing in literature and cinema the moment they win.
an underdog like Sathyre would lose completely the moment they'd win, really.

she doesn't have much to do. except getting goaded into things by reasonable-sounding villains.
and yes, that happened.
