LIAM PAYNES DEAD

Well there goes the reunion

WOTTG SPOILERS

(Not trying to attack anyone, I really enjoy reading everyone opinions so I’m just sharing mine)

Okay so I’ve just finished it and honestly I don’t see what everyone is complaining about. Ive seen people saying Annabeth thinks Percy is dumb but all she said was she doesn’t give him enough credit, you can think someone is smart and still be surprised by their solutions. I think we need to acknowledge that Percy is an unreliable narrator, he is an insecure teenaged boy and his inner dialogue does not accurately represent the thoughts and feelings of the people around him.

I also see people saying that Percy doesnt like being called seaweed brain, and have been saying that it shows their relationship in a negative light. But Percy only complains about being called seaweed brain when its by the eels, we already know from his reaction to Thalia calling him this nickname in ttc that he is only okay with Annabeth using it. The only thing that could imply that He doesn’t like it from Annabeth is when he says “seaweed brain is bad enough” which 100% reads as sarcasm.

I don’t know I feel like, some people have gotten so used to seeing them in fanon that they have forgotten what cannons like, some people are just looking for things to complain about because it no longer feels the same as it did when reading the original series, and some people are simply seeing things differently than when we read these books as kids.

That having been said there were definitely a lot of issues with this book I just feel like people are obsessing over the ship when for me at least it was a highlight.

HEARTSTOPPER SPOILERS

Obviously heartstopper was amazing as usual but i really wish the season had been longer, i really feel like we didn’t get the time to focus on anything but charlie

Obviously his story is so important and im glad they told it so well but i feel like even nick was pushed to the background a little, i know we had a few moments where other characters told him it was okay if he was finding it hard but it really didnt feel like we got the chance to explore that

Im also kinda bummed we didnt see more of the side characters. Somehow tao has skyrocketed it to being one of my favourite characters now so that was cool but wish we had have seen more. I really wish we could have seen more of tori and what she was going through and maybe see her and nick interact, i feel like shes a fan favourite but yet she has so little screen time. Its great to see isacc telling people hes aro ace and im happy for him but i still have no idea who he is besides someone who likes reading. And i feel like we got all tell and no show with darcy coming out as non-binary and imogen as a lesbian?. And thats without even mentioning half the characters

I just really wish Netflix would bring back 20 episode seasons so that we could properly explore all the characters

KAOS SPOILERS

Wtf did Dennis do

Send Orpheus back to the underworld right now

[bogslob]

It reminds me of Orpheus and Eurydice

Of course Orpheus looked back, he loved her too much to not check she was there

Of course Merlin denied magic, he loved Arthur too much to risk him dying

And of course both of these choices doomed them

thinking about how some decisions in the show don’t even make sense if you don’t have the context that Merlin and Arthur are deeply in love with each other.

the one that really fucking gets me is when Mordreds life is at stake and Arthur asks Merlin if he would rather have mordred die or accept magic back into Camelot. This is an opinion he values more than any other, an opinion that would change his mind and sway him.

Merlin, described as magic itself, has been tasked the entire. fucking. show. with returning magic to Camelot and pushing Albion into the golden age under Arthur’s rule. This is everything he’s been working towards this entire time- literally. his life, his years and years of protecting Arthur, all (IN THEORY) are because this golden age is what he wanted, and Arthur would have fully listened to him and likely chosen what Merlin chose. Everything he worked for was RIGHT THERE in front of him. It makes absolutely no sense for him not to pick it. But we all know what he picked. So why?

He didn’t do it for Camelot. He didn’t do it for any kind of golden age, or to fulfill the ultimatum of the prophecy in the revival of magic. No. He chose to deny magic and kill mordred solely because he could not bear to watch his love die and was so distraught that it clouded him. Merlin was so afraid of losing Arthur, his friend, his other half, his king, that he denied every goddamn thing he was working for all at the prospect of allowing Arthur to live past the prophecy and not die by mordred’s hand. You can see it through the show- the way Merlin falls deeper for Arthur, the way, to him, the prophecy becomes less about the promised golden age and more about how desperately he wants Arthur to live.

The tragedy of Merlin legitimately only happens because Merlin loved too strongly and protected his king too fiercely. His overflowing love was his bane, and it led to Arthur’s death. People who watch the show and don’t view it under that lens are missing so much.

…Merlin is literally a show about condemning your soulmate’s life because you loved them so deeply and recklessly, like what the actual fuck

Thinks they’re cool, is actually the weird kid: James

I’m not a Peter apologist but sometimes i wonder why he joined the death eaters

I wonder if maybe he saw where the war was headed and thought if he joined them maybe he could know where the danger was and keep his friends out of it

I wonder if he thought he was the only one strong enough to admit they were losing

I wonder if he thought he could protect the people he loved by sacrificing others

I wonder if he thought he was brave

I wonder if it ate him alive

I wonder at what point did he decide he would have to sacrifice the people he loved to protect himself

I wonder how lonely he felt

I wonder if he considered spilling everything when he was made secret keeper

I wonder if he wished they had asked someone else

I wonder how long he kept the secret for

I wonder what made him tell

I wonder if he hated himself

I wonder what he thought the first time he saw Harry, the spitting image of the friend he murdered

I wonder if he initially decided to protect him too

I wonder if Sirius had never come for him would he have fought for harry in the second war

I wonder if he would have remained a rat too scared to do anything

I wonder how he felt when he abandoned the family that had kept him safe for twelve years

I wonder if he even wanted to join Voldemort or if it felt like the best of bad options

I wonder what made him change his mind and die for Harry in the end

I wonder if in that moment he saw James

Saw three shooting stars tonight beat that

[bogslob]

I’m not one for writing but

Something about a Remus Lupin who as a child loved the sky and obsessed over the moon landing. Then he was bitten and decided that the sky could only be bad.

Something about a young Sirius Black who looked at the sky with pride and adoration, after all, his family was the stars and what could be more noble than that. But then he realises how cruel they could be and how much they hurt him and he learns to resent the sky.

Something about a teenaged Remus falling back in love with the heavens, his best friend was a star how could he ever hate him? Maybe he even learns to tolerate the moon, after all, spending full moons with friends who have done the impossible for him was so much better than being alone.

Something about a teenaged Sirius who falls in love with the moon. He might hate how Remus was hurt by it, but to him the moon was Remus, he was what he would think about first when he looked in the sky. And what was more fun than running arround as a dog with his best friends in the middle of the night.

Something about an adult Remus who hates the sky. The moon hurts him and the stars betrayed him. When he looks up at the sky at night he can only think of how empty the universe is and how alone he feels.

Something about an adult Sirius who looks at the sky and hates it. He may always love the moon but when he looks at it all he can think about is how Remus must feel having to endure the transformation on his own and how much he misses his friend.
