like the first rule of cooking is to have fun and be yourself and the first rule of baking is to stay calm because the dough can sense fear

The Dragon Dance

IDGAF if the women in my fiction are empowering or aspirational, I'm an adult, I don't need role models, I want the women in my fiction to be interesting, and if that involves being pathetic, hypocritical, amoral, or trapped in a delightfully dysfunctional relationship so be it

I think the thing about the size difference was to emphasise how it suddenly matters to Stolas.

Hear me out.

Before, he didn't really care, because they were never on even footing anyway. Blitz could make up for it in all his amazing ways, blah blah blah, and he didn't realise.

But now? They're on even footing. Stolas might be even lower. He's suddenly noticing how he's so unaccustomed to Blitz's lifestyle. And how Blitz probably felt like that.

The banging his head on the doorway. The not liking the food. Not understanding Sinsmas.

Everything that made Stolas realise how differently Blitz lived.

And Blitz is adaptable. He's chill, with it all. Stealing, killing the rats, etc etc. He can deal with it.

Stolas seeing how Blitz adapts and figures out how to make it work when they dance, it makes him realise he doesn't have those skills. He's never needed those skills.

He's never needed to care about their height difference.

And now he does.

"menstruation is punishment for original sin" is a fairly common doctrine (altho in my experience it's usually more implicit than just baldly stated like that)

anyway this implies that of all the animal kingdom, humans are not UNIQUE in sinning, but are joined by bats, the elephant shrew, and the spiny mouse species Acomys cahirinus. (according to my 5 seconds on wikipedia at least)

Obsessed with how surprised and unexpected that kiss was to Blitz. He wasn't thinking about fucking Stolas, just making sure he was safe so a mere KISS threw him off. Get flustered idiot.

Redecorating the apartment! :)

so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what

Stolitz shopping montage!

I loved how Blitz adores him in every outfit his expressions are so cute 😭

Octavia has Blitzø's phone number saved as

Dad (calling from shitty boyfriend's phone)

[raimagnolia]

It's so important to me that Stolas got to make this choice.

Yes, he's dealing with a lot. He lost everything he had. But it was finally his choice.

Stolas never got to make choices for himself. He didn't get to choose the person he married. And he didn't get to choose to be a father.

As much as he deeply loves Octavia, it wasn't his choice (in any way) that she was born.

Stolas made his first real choice in life.

For all the consequences that choice brought, he chose love.

Them being protective of each other’s work and passions lol

Stolas when she insults IMP

Blitz when she insults his novel LMAO

[raimagnolia]

Okay. But did he just heat up hot coals to eat them and then lizard crawl up next to him to warm him up...? Because if so.

Howfuckingcute.

[raimagnolia]

And I'm a little confused because here it looks like the first time, but then Stella says he's been trying for a whole month

She was sitting by the phone WAITING. She knew that Stolas was going to call. She was waiting for him, even changed Blitz’ contact so she knew when he reached out. Look at the smile on her face, how excited she is that he finally called.

Stella when I FUCKING GET YOU
