jayce and viktor seeing each other with no armour nor weapons in their final conversation together. jayce and viktor speaking face to face with both who they were and what they’ve become. jayce and viktor both having white hair and bodies in their projections; they are pure and good when faced with one another at the end. jayce and viktor holding one another in their final moments, and being with the one person they’d rather be with than anyone else. jayce and viktor who both started and ended this. jayce and viktor whose love changed the world. jayce and viktor…

It keeps me up at night thinking about how Illario shouldn't be First Talon because he's done anything wrong (by Crow standards) but because he's doing everything RIGHT.

This is just me connecting dots from various story sources but all the information we have on him suggests that he does what (current time) Crows do to absolute perfection down to a T. He's cunning, he lies, he seduces, he cheats, he gets the job done no matter the cost. He's ambitious and is playing the system the way it's intended.

Caterina is an interesting phenomenon because we can assume she has been First Talon and alive for so many damn years (kinda scary strong ngl lmao), which means she has witnessed an incredible amount of change, and I do believe she wants to steer the Crows back to their somewhat freedom fighter form from the past - by trying to unite them to fight for a better cause, like defending Antiva from the Antaaam invasion (Eight Little Talons). But she's also aging and needs someone to continue this fight for her. Lucanis meanwhile is a rather soft personality for a Crow Assassin, and while not perfect, his morality compass is pretty strong - he refuses to kill the elf girl who spots them in Wigmaker Job because it would just be killing an (already downtrodden) innocent - while Illario encourages him to clean up and leave no witnesses (the practical, correct choice from an Assassin pov).

Teia even comments that Illario is a good assassin but Lucanis' jobs tend to have so many more fires to put out than the regular and I believe it's because he always makes things harder for himself in order to spare as many collaterals as possible. So what I imagine happened is that Illario in trying to get as much of his grandmother's approval (just as much as Lucanis) has done everything RIGHT in an effort to please her and prove he's got what it takes, but he can never win because it's never what Caterina intended, and honestly that's so tragic to me. He was playing the game right all along but it was an entirely different game. (The ultimate line crossed was him sacrificing Lucanis for his ambition, and doing so because it's what's expected. I do not believe Illario to be as one note as he ended up in the game at all, I think he actually does genuinely care about Lucanis except for the fact that Crows need to be prepared to make the right sacrifice for the job and love cannot play a part in that - see Zevran's polycule.)

Or dumbass characters who smoke with asthma and have a random fit while smoking that needs an inhaler hit. Represent.

i love characters who smoke but i wish people would actually show the side effects of smoking affecting them. like depending on how much they smoke they should just go into a comically long coughing fit mid-sentence

what's absolute bonkers about gelphie's dynamic in the movie is that. the whole "loathing" part is presented so well. they don't hate each other, they're ANNOYED by each other because glinda fits in easily everywhere she goes and a part of elphaba envies that, and elphaba is exceptional at the thing that glinda wants most in this world.

and they have fun with it! through the whole of what is this feeling you can see their little smiles and their little pranks and constantly trying to outdo each other. and even "the artichoke is steamed" receives a little smirk of appreciation. they're enjoying this rivalry and banter! they're jealous of each other but there's a little bit of admiration for a game well played. it's soooo good.

boyfriend dumped him, baking addiction, best friend is moving to texas, sister gets kidnapped by a serial killer, might be dating said serial killer, still can’t say that he’s bisexual, not allowed to have any other aspirations besides his love life….oh it’s bad for him

I like that, I would add that a rest day/self care day do not have to be a « stay in bed » day. From what you like and what gives you happiness and self-estime, it can also be walking in the woods, doing things you love but only for you (for exemple I typically draw stuff about my OCs or memes only for fun), trying to cook, etc. In short: think about taking a healthy rest when you feel you need it, and don’t you dare to think what others would think of the way you spend it!

That also made me think of this video: https://youtube.com/shorts/4yYs4rOhcEI?si=k8e-Jyb23gbK40yJ
