I like how the Metal Men comics always come with chemistry fact pages. I didn't know only eight metals were known about in 55 BC. So this was actually interesting to me. I don't actually know if this is still true (or if modern knowledge about the past contradicts this), but this was still pretty cool. (Metal Men #1):

He was so incredible in this scene (they both were, just doing all that with that monologue is unbelievably to me)

Totally agreed, anon. I really love that the first season was bookended by these incredible monologues - Louis' "I laid down with the devil" one in 1.01 and Lestat's "Desperately alive and desperately fragile" one in 1.07. They're both such showcases for the actors, but they're also just such beautiful pieces of writing.

It was one of the things that I really missed in s2, because I don't think we really got any real monologues outside of the theatre, at least, not in the same way? You could kind of argue that Louis gets one in the reunion, but one of the things that I love about the writing of that scene is that it feels like a true two-hander which eases us out of our fairly closed Louis' POV. It'll be interesting to see if the show goes back to them with Lestat taking over next season.

Luke’s knuckles cracked, straining, as Lumiya dangled from his grasp over the cliff.  At his mercy, after confessing to his wife’s murder.

“Oaths matter, Luke,” she had taunted, just a moment ago. 

But did they? 

Revenge wasn’t the Jedi way.  Yet in his truest, broken heart, he wanted to drop her, no—fling her into the abyss.

Tempting, so tempting. 

As tears stung, Luke realized he was equally in danger of falling.

“I’d never let you fall,” Luke whispered, hauling Mara’s killer to safety.

Lumiya met his gaze, accepting, he thought, as his lightsaber separated her head from its shoulders.

Is this an unpopular opinion ? Who knows.

I didn't really like how Yi city was adapted in the untamed.

Disclaimer: I read the book first and I had expectations for the untamed version which probably didn't help.

I'm not sure how much of what I'm going to talk about is censorship. I know they were clearly avoiding ghostly things (which is....something when the main character of a show is supposed to control and use ghosts' energy as his main power).

I feel like A-Qing got screwed over the most in this arc: we don't get the fact that she has been saving people and making Yi city so creepy for all those years to protect the living. We don't get the fact that she is an amazing actress who actually managed to get Xiao Xingcheng alone by acting/bluffing to get Xue Yang out of the house (and we don't get the implications that he is softening to her with his advice on how to deal with bullies which again leave it more ambiguous as to why he just let her do anything at all in Yi city after her death).

Also she just dies ? No spirit pouch for her I guess, which means no Xue Yang trying to get both pouches back during the battle and no potential second chance for her with Xiao Xingcheng and Song Lan.

I felt like A Qing as the pov character of the arc was incredibly important (also incredibly fun, I love her so much) and The Untamed which usually does really well with other female characters really dropped the ball on that one.

Also with that loss, the psychological horror of it all and the building of the tension is very much lost too. It is such a creepy and scary arc in the books.

i saw fanart of ava with darker hair and i realised that A's hair is sometimes described in the books as "dark blonde", when i always thought it was a lighter colour.

pinterest gave me a wide selection of different hair colours for dark blonde, but technically A's hair could be as dark as this:

For years, Rita thought she’d know where her life would lead her. The plan had been immaculate. After graduation, she would stay in Aretuza as a perceptress's apprentice, then she would earn the title Mistress of Magic and become a teacher herself. But as always when you think your future is carved in stone, destiny finds a way to put a spoke in your wheel.

Instead of staying behind the walls of Aretuza, Rita is forced out of her comfort zone and onto the back of a horse – on the behest of her beloved Rectoress no less. A stipend for a dwimveandra is a grand opportunity that Rita would much rather let pass. Alas, the decision isn't hers to make, and so she is forced to comply and leave not only Aretuza, but also the place under Tissaia de Vries' wing that she so desperately wished to earn.

Rita can't, for the love of all the gods she never believed in, understand why she is put into this situation. And maybe that's exactly why she needs it.

reminders:

if you or someone you know might need it in the next few years, purchase plan b. the shelf life of plan b is 4 years, and we might not be able to access it as easily as we can now in the days ahead.

if you are larger/plus size: go online and purchase ella instead of plan b. plan b is less effective if you aren’t under 160 pounds.

if you can, purchase books that project 2025 is looking to ban.

mass deportations are starting. if you see ice vehicles or agents, yell ice raid and la migra as loud as you can.

if someone asks who you voted for, keep your mouth shut. they’re fishing for traitors.

if anyone, anyone at all asks about your neighbors or their legal status in the us, you know nothing. don’t be the reason that their family is separated.

if anyone asks about your religion or lack thereof, keep it vague. this administration will look for any excuse to persecute you.

your friends are trans or queer? for the next four years they’re not. don’t expose anyone’s status as a trans or queer person to anyone else, even if you think you can trust them.

did someone you know get an abortion? no, they didn’t. they were never pregnant.

in short, don’t be a snitch, and keep to yourself these next four years. we’ll make it through this even if it seems hopeless at times.

we can survive this. we’ve survived before, and we’ll survive again.
