#ALSO DONT FORGET TO PIRATE TBB

[shellshooked]

this just cements the argument i was talking about yesterday - it was never about hunter vs crosshair.

It was always about two brothers being two mirrors of each other all along. Just look at how they BOTH stall and avoid talking until absolutely necessary. They're both so extremely avoidant by nature it's genieunly hilarious. The confrontation they had in this episode is perfect because it's not pretty, it's not cute, it's filled with stowed feelings and looming resentment and it was supposed to be like this all along. This is truly the point in the story where they can move on from s1, from Kamino lost. Both Hunter and Crosshair can finally start to forgive themselves, start to change the way they were meant to, and I don't think this could have been possible if done individually. They were always supposed to confront each other, it was always going to come to this, and I love to see it.

Just look at the shot above - it's so peaceful. I could talk about for hours why picking the outpost as a metaphorical + physical place for this episode was a crucial and very calculated choice by the writers, but just seeing as they both come to terms with... everything. They can finally rest, they can stop blaming each other and most importantly, they can stop blaming themselves.

When Hunter says "maybe there's hope for US yet", and not "maybe there's hope for YOU yet", i cannot stress how crucial this is for both their characters and their growth. It's like, yes you made a mistake. I made them too. Mistakes happen when change comes. I would know. It's okay. We'll work through them together. and the way the lighting around crosshair is so warm, and the ice Vulture —the symbol of his regrets and grief, finally departs in the sunset. Crosshair can finally breathe. And so can Hunter.

It was never about Hunter vs Crosshair, it was always about Hunter and Crosshair.

I just love seeing people who get it with Hunter and Crosshair. They’ve needed the other to process everything that’s happened but it was never going to be easy or pretty.
