Relationship with characters:

Tommy Shelby - She met Tommy when her father and little sister moved to Birmingham to manufacture cars and start a new life. Through her father she met Tommy and they quickly became good friends. She didn’t mind anything about him she just took him as he was. They grew very close but ww1 came and unfortunately Felicity didn’t keep in connection with Tommy. Her letters to him dying until they were no more. They both went their separate ways until when Tommy came back he saw that Felicity had made a name for herself and started doing business with her and seeing her as a business partner. Another gang he could trust. They still do have a really close relationship and its like they never had lost contact but their business lifestyle and differences makes them not go further than friends. They are now good friends and Felicity looks up to Tommy and trusts him with everything she has. Also she is the one where Tommy gets his most amount of tokyo. Tommy is also a regular at her club and his men and whoever is friends with him or family is a friend to her. They are very sarcastic with each other and playful and very flirty. Tommy tells Felicity everything and Tommy is one of the very few people who knows the real Felicity and all her demons. He is the only one she allows to call her real name and he doesn’t call her red. They protect each other and are like thick as thieves. He has a lot of respect for her.

Luca Changretta - Everybody in Birmingham and in London know about Red and her men. Luca knew she had connections with Tommy and invited her to his office to talk about setting a plan to get back at the peaky blinders. She would never do Tom dirty like that so she over and over again tried to disagree and leave but Luca sat her on his desk (knowing she was lonely after just having broken up with red’s ex) and the two had sex, only that one time as Felicity was lonely and the moment was heated. Luca flirts with her and teases her which she hates as she doesn’t like to be taken advantage of. He comes to her club and she sings to flirtatiously to him. Luca find Felicity invigorating and captivating, liking a woman in charge. Where as Felicity finds Luca an annoyance and a pain.

Alfie Solomons - That is her ride or die boy. She and Alfie are like two peas in a pod and she is also very flirtatious towards him. she loves alfie and spends a lot of time with him. since red doesn’t believe in love she is always trying to pick out a girl for alfie to go with or to bang (unknown to her alfie wants felicity) red is like one of the men. They are also business partners. alfies rum is sold and given at the club red and felicity is one of alfies buyers. They a lot of times act like a married couple. Alfie sometimes gets cheesy with his who charming personality or charming with red but she gets very annoyed. alfie thinks felicity is cute but he doesn’t want to admit it but he is very afraid of red. he knows not to get on her bad side. Alfie along with tommy is also a person that knows about her past and inner demons but because of word and rumors and sometimes her depression slips out making alfie worry for her and care about her. also they get a long very well because felicity is a jewish convert and is more devoted to the religion than Alfie. She partakes in all the jewish holidays and traditions and yes dinners.

Michael Gray - he has a major crush on red. he is intrigued by her and honestly felicity finds it kinda cute. he is sorta shy around her but when he gets cocky with the gang business he then starts to be more forward with red. he may not know it but she respects michael and finds him attractive. he tries really hard with her. he finds her unique and cool. she is very protective of michael. she would also visit him a lot of times, cooking for him when he was at the hospital. they get close.

Harriet Gould - her ex. before the luca incident with his arrival and everything of him felicity was with a writer for the papers. he was a shy, and timid man. at first red didn’t want anything to do with him as he was asking questions about her success based on the club as he wanted to write an article about her. she didn’t want more news spread about her but with his begging and her finding him attractive and liking his determination she finally agreed. she also thought maybe by harriet spreading the news about her club her club would gain popularity. tommy of course did not like him and found him very suspicious and sketchy. red treated him kindly and good and soon the two became close. he had a peak into her life and also she opened up to him about her past telling him the truth and wanting him to write it down. he was her favorite person. unfortunately it was shown later harritet’s true intentions. the coppers obey and listen to red much like they do to tommy but a group of coppers were planning to go against red and needed someone to know insight things to steal the money in red’s club. like tommy has a vault for the money so does red except hers is red lol. she found at night they had broken in and stole all the money. furious she found out it was harriet and the coppers and killed the coppers, hanging their bloody beaten bodies upside down in their homes and thankfully she retrieved the money she lost. she tried to kill harriet but she couldn’t find herself to do the deed as she still loved him even though he stole from her and went against her. harriet played with red’s mind and made her trust him again and take him back. he also begged for his life and told red that he would publish the article about her club and her. thinking it was over and thinking he still loved her red allowed him to live with her. she then though caught him cheating and making love to another woman on her bed. feeling anger and having enough she shot both the woman and harriet in the head. she broke down and now is more mentally unstable then before. having more trust issues and not believing in love.

Arthur Shelby - he loves her cause she gives him the light of day and she is usually on arthur’s side and loves him. she gets arthur a lot. they have kissed once but because they both were drunk and high as a kite. arthur is very protective of felicity and she jokes a lot with him. she barely ever gets angry with him and he seeks her to find good advice and comfort.

John Shelby - when she can she acts like a total dweeb and idiot when she is with john. she likes to rile him up as she likes it when he fights and gets angry. they like to gush over guns and who has more bde. he is also kinda scared of felicity but she would never hurt him. plus one of his daughter wants to be like red and he doesn’t know how he feels about it but red is like the worst with kids so she like tries her hardest with his million children. since she is very rich and wealthy she buys the kids gifts every time she visits john. john can’t even keep up with it.

Finn Shelby - boi put your pee wee back in your pants. finn sees felicity as an old lady and jokes with her saying she is old. she usually is seen smacking him upside the head. she was the first one to buy him a gun and teach him how to shoot. oops. also one of red’s girls likes him and he loves coming to the club red to not only have a smoke, tokyo, and a drink but also he loves the girls and usually he gets some action there. but felicity checks the girl first before she has sex with the tommy shelby’s brother.

Ada Shelby - red looks up to ada actually. she wishes she could be as strong as her and could have that affection and life that ada has. she loves hanging out with ada. they are like sisters. they go shopping all the time and eat every where. felicity loves to buy ada things such as purses, dresses, makeup, jewelry and red is always playing matchmaker with ada. getting her men to take ada out to dinner. red likes to take ada’s son to races and unknown to ada red lets karl make bets. red is always there for ada and if ever ada should call or ask for red felicity would be there in a flash in a minute. ada is her girl and she is always there for her especially with freddie’s death and just through tough times in ada’s life.

Polly Gray - where to start. red sees polly as her idol, her goddess. red wants to be like her when she grows up heck now. she listens to polly and takes her advice because polly is usually correct in things. thats why is was odd to polly and out of the box behavior for red when red got annoyed and stood up for michael. as much as she loves polly she loves this gangster life more and feels michael is old enough to decide what he wants for himself. she feels michael was born for this life. polly saw red in the beginning as a threat and suspicious but quickly red proved herself to her that she was true and was a friend to the peaky blinders.

Grace Burgess - red doesn’t mind her. she sees her as someone who is kind and sweet yet can handle herself. what she doesn’t like is when grace starts asking questions and trying to interfere and mess up everything red built. red is a friend of tommy and to see him happy and love someone makes red happy for him and more at ease. red even sang for them at their wedding.

Lizzie Stark - red likes how blunt lizzie is and sometimes feels bad for her. red is sometimes annoyed by her and feels that tommy shouldn’t give signs or do something for lizzie if its not genuine.

Linda Shelby - OH MY GOD RED HATES HER AND HAS NEVER LIKED AGHHHHH

Arlo Jones - red and her father had a good relationship. it was like any father and daughter duo. arlo loved his girls and was very serious. he also loved cars. he passed away being war because he was drafted in the british army during world war 1. he taught red to stick up for herself and to work hard and when you work hard you get money and booze.

Seren Jones - red always took care of her baby sister. seren was always quiet but was always laughing and having a smile on her face. she would always love to play with her older sister. because of the war, her father’s death, and recent trauma seren was not mentally stable and was sent to an asylum. red takes care of her still and checks on her to which nobody knows about this (until later tommy knows, alfie and then red tells ada and harriet) red cares deeply for seren and will do anything to protect her sister.

BACKSTORY:

red was mostly raised by her father as red’s mother left the family when seren was a baby. red only remembers some things of her mother but not that much. through hard work arlo went to birmingham small heath to pursue his car manufacturing (this was around the time where in a couple of years tommy would be drafted). red had a good time in small heath yes it was dark and gloomy but she liked it. when she was at small heath she was goofy and silly always making jokes. she became friends with the shelby’s and all their friendships grew. in that time life was more lighthearted and red was more innocent not really caring or giving two thoughts about the darkest places. also in this time she wore dresses.

the day before tommy was to be drafted along with arlo and others, seren and felicity were out. red bought tommy a pin as a gift as she saw it in a store and liked it. they were walking by a group of worker men and the men called out to red and seren. the men were gross and dirty and were trying to take advantage of seren and red. they got a hold of the “pretty one” seren first but red fought them off of her and yelled at seren to leave and go far away. seren, horrified and scarred for life saw the men grabbing felicity and ripping her clothes off. seren fled as red protected her sister. the men took advantage of her in a stables and left red in the dirt like trash. from then on red was never the same. she wanted to tell tommy but tommy had so much going on his plate and he was going to war. red never told anyone the only person who knew was seren but red tried not to worry seren and said that it was nothing. that moment on red didn’t trust men and never wanted to be humiliated like that again. if this was a mans world she was going to become THE man (thats why her attitude she changed she now wore suits, she also wears suits because she thinks if she looks more masculine men won’t be attracted to her and what happened to her won’t happen again). red vowed to never be taken advantage like that again. from that moment on though the men spread rumors of felicity that she was a whore and that she had sex with every man in small heath. people didn’t like red which she grew to not care. she rather people were scared of her for what she could do. red wanted to make a name for herself so she started getting to work in creating her club RED.

her father went to war and felicity had to watch her sister and deal with her club and she learned how dirty this world really could be. she wanted money the clothes the men everything she wanted that lavish lifestyle. word came in that arlo had died in the war and that made seren go into deep depression. so from the war, the father’s death and what happened to red seren became mentally unstable and was forced into an asylum. red visits her everyday and vows to get her out someday.

because of what happened in red’s life, and all the responsibilities such as her men, her girls (the girls that work for red at the club), her sister, her father, everything, red has nightmares and she is addicted to drugs, cocaine, and an alcoholic. but her house and club are always in ship shape and so are her outfits because she has ocd which occurred after what happened to her. nobody knows her dark side and her inner demons and what she is really going through and that she is struggling.

now she has her lavish club RED (idk why but i always envision it looks like gusteau’s resturant)

she has a jazz band that plays at RED every night. anybody can sing there you just have to put your name, there are dance girls and singers. they sing whatever. the dirty part of the club, at day its a normal everyday club but by night you can do drugs there, illegal alcohol if you ask and the woman agrees and she gets paid there are rooms in the back or there to have sex. at night you can do whatever you want its a party city there. red could care less just as long as you don’t mess with the club and that she gets paid. red also does bets and racing as well like the shelbys and she does jewelry.

HER OUTFITS:

MAY PICKS!

WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER MONTH OF TV/MOVIE WATCHING!

Does it feel like it was just April or that it can’t even be May and yet it is coming to an end? I get it. Quarantine is doing weird things to my head and I can’t believe how far in the year it’s been. Looking back on my picks for this month I noticed that I have seemed to escape the world through historical period shows or movies. But that isn’t the entire bulk of the month (just half of it). Without further ado, here we go!

As always..spoilers....

THE HALF OF IT

This Netflix original movie was an early watch for me during this month and it came at the right time. I was looking for a movie, rather than a TV show, and something that was contemporary and not overly serious (although, there are serious themes in this film). As it repeatedly says, “it’s not a romance” yet it has that YA/teen romance feel. (Yes, I used YA/teen in the same description.) I really loved the Elle Chu and Paul Munsky friendship. While watching the trailer, I could tell this film would be highlighting a healthy friendship as its focal point and how your other half doesn’t have to be a romantic soulmate. A lot of times, these kinds of stories can seem very repetitive, but with the new plot of Elle and Paul in love with the same girl we encounter a new kind of obstacle. I think the resolution was pretty solid for both plot lines and I liked the train scene at the end. Certain shots felt long at times. There were lots of pauses, which I didn’t 100% like. Also, the awkwardness could feel pretty cringey. Overall, it is definitely worth the watch. I liked it and would watch it again. Paul might be one of my heartthrobs of 2020. I’m always a sucker for a sweet jock with a heart of gold.

THE OFFICE LADIES

Yes, I know I’m late to the show as this podcast started last year, but better late than never and what better time than quarantine. Plus, I don’t have to wait each week for a new episode (even though know I’m catching up, so eventually...) At first, I was worried when I would have time because of not spending as much time in the car for commuting, but I found it’s really soothing to listen to as I’m cleaning. It feels like I’m in the room with Angela and Jenna and we’re all BFFs. I love how they’re best friends in real life and how close they are. They give the trivia you really can only get from two people who were on the show. They also have several guest stars from actors on the show to writers, directors and producers. One of my most recent listens had Creed Bratton in the studio with them and they talked about the Halloween episode. It was great. Listening to their podcast is really making me want to rewatch the series for the 100th time. As an uber fan, I already get all of their references, but with the new Easter eggs I can’t wait to go back and see them.

STAR WARS RISE OF SKYWALKER

Not just in honor of May the 4th, but to finish up the Star Wars watch through that I was taking with my sister. I hadn’t seen it yet and while not a die heart fan, I still wanted to see the conclusion. I liked the Force Awakens a lot, but felt eh about Last Jedi. In ways this one kind of felt like a stand alone. It had a different vibe compared to the previous two. After watching I heard there was a different director for all three movies, so that makes sense-I guess. (It’s weird they wouldn’t have kept at least one to do two of them.) It also had a kind of fan fiction feel. SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! Bringing Palpatine back reminded me of Lord Voldemort having a kid in Cursed Child. BACK FROM SPOILERS! I’m happy that Rey’s parentage/lineage was revealed because it was such a major point in this series. I loved the Rey/Finn/Poe relationship. It was great to see them in the same story line and reminded me of the original three: Luke/Han/Leia. Leia :( It was so sad, but I always knew it had to happen, due to Carrie Fischer. It didn’t make it any easier to watch. MORE SPOILERSSSSS! I knew Kylo would turn back. It was nice to see that his mom was able to spark that. I did like his fight scene. I just didn’t love the connection him and Rey have/had. LOVED the ending. I’m cool with her taking the Skywalker name and the suns shot with the force them at the end had me screaming.

OPHELIA

From one Daisy Ridley film to another. This movie just recently got added to my list when I was channel surfing. I vaguely remembered it being advertised, but it felt like a while ago. I’m a sucker for a re-telling, so I was immediately intrigued to watch it. This film was adapted from a novel by the same name. It follows Ophelia from Shakespeare’s Hamlet and gives her more of a story and character development. If you are familiar with the original, you know that Ophelia is only briefly mentioned and her character’s motives are really driven by her love for Hamlet. Even her famous death scene is very ambiguous. When this film begins, a voice-over narration by Ridley immediately brings us to her death scene and tells the audience “that there is more to the story than we think we know.” I really loved the twist and re-invention of this story through her point of view. I think Daisy Ridley was fantastic in the role. I haven’t seen her in a lot of other things, so it was great to see her here in a completely different role from Star Wars. The re-telling is very creative and very feminist. You get to see how Hamlet and Ophelia meet and then see him off to school. With this addition you can really get behind this relationship and see the mutual attraction and feelings between them. When relating back to the original, I like how they cut out scenes that Ophelia was not physically apart of and instead rely the events that happened. (Specifically with Polonius’ death.) I also enjoyed the new perspective of scenes. You really can tell that Ophelia is not mad, but it is the mask she must put on to survive. The ‘get thee to a nunnery’ scene takes on a whole different meaning now. There’s also a lot echoes to other Shakespearean plays and tropes which were fun to explore. Whether you’re a Shakespeare/Hamlet fan or not, I would definitely check this one out if you’re a fan of the time period, re-tellings or a strong female lead.

MEDICI THE MAGNIFICENT SEASON 3

I literally just finished this show this afternoon and I couldn’t wait to write about it. (Sorry if this post is pretty long, but that just shows you that you need to watch it.) I was very excited for the third and final season of Medici because I enjoyed season 2, so much. While this one might have taken me a little longer to watch, it was still a good time and I’m sad it’s over.

Watching this season I was super impressed by Daniel Sharman’s acting. He has great range as he goes from a young Lorenzo in season 2 to an adult and father and then an elderly man. I think he was convincing throughout each stage and I’m happy they kept the same actor. His make-up to help him age looked a lot more natural, compared to Richard Madden’s, in my opinion. I feel on shows like this it’s often hard seeing a jump in time (it helps with seeing the kids grow up), so when Lorenzo starts to get sick/age I at first, was like whoa, but then it was further explained (by inheriting his father’s illness, etc.)

Compared to season 2, I definitely liked the previous more. I not only enjoyed watching the more idealistic Lorenzo, but also plot-wise. In season 2 the Pazzi are the main antagonist/objective. Here in season 3 there were several obstacles/antagonists: The Pope, Riario, and Savonarola. Every time we thought there was a moment of peace...nope. Now, I get this is based on history and we need drama so you can only change so much, but I missed the Medici being at the top and being respected. I also know we covered A LOT of time. (I guess that shows you how connected I felt with them and the show.)

All of the history Easter Eggs were cool. Obviously, the Renaissance was extremely relevant, but it was cool seeing the big names like Botticelli (especially with his painting at the end, which I recognized), Da Vinci, and Michelangelo. I can’t get over how many of these famous painters were recognized by the Medici family. It just shows you how important and influential they were. Also, when Nico revealed his last name as Machiavelli. JAW DROP! This show has continually brought me back to researching (and mainly using Wikipedia). The writing at the end was accurate to what I found. Wish we had another season with the legacy to see it continue. I’m surprised I got teary eyed at the end.

WORLD ON FIRE

It may be listed last once again, this month, but it is definitely not least. The show may have finished its season a few weeks ago, but I still have two episodes left on my DVR. The last one I watched was when they were in Dunkirk and that was an intense time. I knew it was going to be, but it still didn’t prepare me. In this episode, we see many characters FINALLY meet up and join each other’s plot lines. I think that was one of my favorite parts of the episode/series. Some already knew each other, while others were meeting for the first time. While I am excited to see how it all turns out, I’m also not ready to say good-bye. Right now, I saw a potential for a season 2, but not sure if that was a fan made article or not. I’m hoping all of my favorite characters survive and get what can be considered a happier ending than what they are currently experiencing. I also hope we don’t end on too much of a cliffhanger. Either way, I’m happy I checked this show out.

RE-WATCHING

iZOMBIE

Currently I’m in the beginning of the second season. Sometime last month I felt the pull to start re-watching this show. It’s one that I have tried once or twice to watch again from the beginning, but now that it’s been finished for almost a year, it felt like time. It was a great decision, although right now there’s some character plots that are frustrating me and that I forgot about. But there’s some great brains that Liv has experienced and it was great seeing Lowell again (for as short-lived as it was). I’m excited to continue re-watching.

I DIDN’T DO IT

The re-watch for I Didn’t Do It basically began when it hit Disney Plus a few months ago. I just recently made it to season 2, which I remember enjoying more than season 1. One reason for this was because they get rid of the flashback format for each episode. I’m really early on, like episode 4, so I still have many more to go. Once I finish it I don’t know if I’ll explore a new Disney Plus show or watch another that I’ve seen before.

I also have a few things on DVR that I’m still finishing up. I haven’t watched the finale of Batwoman yet and I know it’s going to be weird now that Ruby Rose has left the show. I just finished the Flash and felt blah about the whole season, so I’m unsure if I’ll watch next season. But I am enjoying Stargirl. You can find my thoughts on the first episode here. I’m excited to see the rest of the season.

🌙 for any/all 👀👀👀

If your OC could have one wish come true what would it be and why? Would there be consequences to this wish or would they regret it once they get what they want? What would they give in return for this wish to come true?

Oof. Hang on y’all, this is about to get long.

- A whole ass wish, with no strings attached? Alex doesn’t trust like that. (Obviously it depends entirely on where in her story this is offered, and she could probably come up with a hundred other more practical uses for a wish, but.... she wants her father to know, implicitly and inherently, about her successes. She wants him fully aware that, despite his indifference towards her, she succeeded anyway, and that she figured it out anyway, and that she failed and learned and grew anyway, without him. And she doesn’t want it explained to him or told to him: she wants him to Know, as intimately as possible, how well she’s made it on her own.)(She would also regret this, because she hates the idea that she needs any sort of response or validation from him at all.)(And nothing that she’s earned - on her own - is worth giving up for him to know any of that.)

- Tahir is....simpler, I think. I think he’d wish for being able to spend more time with his family. Like, he definitely wants a family of his own, right? But he isn’t going to wish for that. That would be weird and unethical and WEIRD, okay. But to be able to go back in time and get to be there for his parents and his sisters and, God, his brother when they were growing up? That would mean everything in the world to him. I think the biggest consequence, though, is that he’d find out that getting all of that time back doesn’t help the fact that he still feels isolated from his family sometimes. The weirdness of his bloodline and all of the issues that came from it are still there, and while his time at sea never HELPED the matter, it wasn’t the cause either.

- Davin wants his arm back. Like, there’s just no ifs, ands or buts about it. He certainly grows from its loss and he certainly gains a hell of a lot of respect and status on board the ship, but... I think he’d be willing to put all of that on the line to feel more secure in himself again. Even after years without it. Even after he gets back a vast majority of his confidence. Even still.

- See above. Finn already thinks he’s got everything he needs going for him. Coping to a wish is giving up. Except, you know, if Dav wants to get his arm back. In which case, that’s just smart, wtf. (But if Davin already gets his own wish, Finn would like to be fabulously wealthy, please.)

- For all that I think many of my other kids would want to like...right some wrong or fix some regret they have, I think Adelina stands out as one of the few who would want something to help them go forward. I think Adelina would like to be able to travel, freely and without the physical danger associated with the actual travel. I don’t think she’d want to give up the JOURNEY, mind - just the increasing odds that it could hurt her. And she’d want to be able to take people along with her, under that protection. It’s one of those seemingly superficial wishes that I think would actually be the most helpful.

- If he were cognizant of it, I think Jon would wish to be able to spread the things that he learns far and wide, without fear of retribution or consequences, just to enhance the collective knowledge of mankind. I specify his cognizance only because, if he were aware of the power of a limitless wish, he would go big to match it, and scorn anything that might benefit him specifically. If he WASN’T, though? Jon desperately wants to fall in love and live with someone who understands him, who shares his enthusiasm and love of learning, and he wants to be able to partake in the lifelong journey of deepening and sharing that WITH someone. Obviously, wishing for a partner does have that weird ethics question pop up again, but idk if Jon would be as put out by it as Tahir, lmao.

- Myrine got Tahir, like what more do you wish for? I’M KIDDING, I think Myrine would honestly just wish for her society to continue thriving on the outskirts of the modern age, without interference from outsiders, without anyone feeling so failed by it that they seek answers elsewhere. She just wants her community to be happy and safe and fulfilling to everyone in it, as is always her number one goal. (She takes people leaving their little space very personally, like she personally has failed in some way to make it good enough for them. So if she made this wish, and someone still wasn’t fully happy? That could crush her.)

AND I’M ALSO DOING MY D&D KIDS, CAUSE YOU SAID ANY AND ALL.

- Val wants all of her friends to be safe and protected, by her hand or otherwise, forever and always blah blah blah BUT FAILING THAT? IF SHE GETS TO BE SELFISH? She really, really wants to have her parents back, even temporarily. These last few arcs, with the rest of the party reconnecting with family who genuinely care for them and want whats best for them, have made her acutely aware of the fact that she.... can’t. Enough time has passed that she doesn’t feel the need to draw attention to it, but I think she still desperately misses them. (The bad news is that, if it was temporary? She’d get so, so hurt by seeing them again and having it taken away.)

- If you’d asked this question before the last few sessions, I would have said that Fizz would’ve wished for some kind of sign that her god Olidammara gave even the tiniest of shits about what she was doing for him. But! He did! And he does! So now, she wants to kick Casimir’s patron to the curb in the funniest and most obvious way possible, so that he’s free of its pact and of any chance that it could possibly plague him again! Because seriously, fuck that guy! (This, in her mind, is all Cas needs to go on to be the best bard ever, which is the actual ultimate goal.)

AND I got asked Zeph already so I’ll do her later. ;) THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THIS, HOLY SHIT.

13. for the Damerons (or Dameron-Ticos)

(So, this is the first scene of something that threatens to get EXTREMELY out of hand. I do think I’ll return to it, when I don’t have an exchange fic and a fest fic to worry about. In the meantime, have this teaser for Rose Tico, Spiritual Successor to Mr. Rogers.)

Roseloves a lot of things about working in children's television. Most ofall, of course, she loves the kids. She loves meeting them whenevershe goes out on the street or to an event, the way their eyes lightup and they ask about all her friends on the spaceship, loves thatunlike most actresses she doesn't have to sign autographs or pose toooften for awkward selfies, just give hugs with parental permissionand have some earnest conversations about dinosaurs. She lovesfeeling good about the show she's on, after years as a glorifiedextra drifting from one stereotype to another.

Sheloves working with a shoestring budget and a group of people whoreally care about what they do in the studio, and she loves that hersister is right there behind the camera most days. She loves workingwith Poe Dameron, who probably could be a movie star but instead ishappy to play second fiddle to her while writing all the music forthe show and patiently teaching it to her.

Sheloves everything about it, actually, until she has to go to afundraising drive event, a benefit that requires her to wear a nicedress and talk to adults about things. Adults, other than parents,are weird about kids' TV stars, and there's a lot of patronizingsmilesand a lot of talking over her and a lot of general bullshit.

“Arepeople awful to you?” she hisses to Poe when he brings her a glassof champagne and rescues her from one of the morning news people,who called her show “adorable.”

Heputs his arm around her shoulders and squeezes, and she loves thattoo, how people working on her show aren't shy about showingaffection. Even if sometimes she wishes Poe were actually a littleshyer about it, because he's distressingly good-looking and shedoesn't want to fall into the falling-for-a-coworker trap, which shehas learned over the years is never a good idea. “They're justjealous that we have the best ratings on the network. But also, notreally, because they can pretend I'm worthy of respect because ofthat detective show.”

Rosealso loves that Poe talks about the show that got him an Emmynomination like it was some quirky aberration, and she shifts arounduntil they can link their arms together. “Stick with me for awhile? You can protect me, and maybe we can find someone with agrandchild who will want to tell me all about how they love the show,that will be nice.”

“I'lldefinitely stick with you, but I'll do you one better—a friend ofmine just came in, and he's the last person to judge who's on whatkind of show.”

Poegestures at the door, and there are … “Poe.” She tries not tolook too visibly panicked, because that's really not good when thereare donors around. “Poe, I do not know how to talk to news anchors.They know things.”

“Yeah,but Finn's a really nice news anchor. And I haven't met Rey yet, butnow seems like the time, and she's a really great one too!”

Thembeing good news anchors is not the issue. Or, well, it is, but not inthe way he's saying, and he knows it. And Finn and Rey are new to thenetwork, she brought in from a really angry internet news blog and hefrom some really sketchy cable network situation Rose has never quitefigured out the details of. They'retaking the news by storm, and it's really great, but Rose pretendsshe works on a spaceship for living and does puppet voices. “Idon't know enough about the news to do this,” she says, but Poe isguiding her inexorably in their direction. They are somewhere nearLeia Organa, and it is one of Poe's life goals to get her to have aconversation with her, so she's definitely doomed.

“You'regoing to be great and they are going to love you, because you are thebest,” says Poe, and then they are right in front of Finn and Rey.

Finnbeams at Poe, and Rose blinks at the force of the smile, even morewhen it's turned on her. “Oh, you're Rose! I really love Rose'sRoom, Poe told me about it and Iwatched the whole thing.” He frowns. “But not all of your backepisodes are streaming anywhere. You should talk to the network aboutthat.”

“Um,thanks? And yes. I'm Rose. And you're Finn.” She turns to Rey,whose smile is a lot more polite and less blinding and enthusiastic,which is much more what she was expecting. “And you're Rey! Hi, I'mRose Tico, I'm on the show with Poe.”

“Itsounds,” says Rey, “like he's actually on the show with you.I've only seen a few episodes, I'm afraid, but it does seem verynice.”

“It'smy favorite way to relax when the news is too stressful,” Finnsays, all earnest smiles. Helooks so serious on the news, it's a little weird to see him sohappy, but Rose is glad about it. For one thing, it makes him a tinybit less intimidating, and for another, she just likes it when peopleare happy. There's a reason she loves doing her show. “And the newsis stressful a lot.”

“Youshould guest star!” Rose says, like she tells anyone vaguelyinvolved in entertainment that she meets. It's reflex, at this point,especially when people seem like they're stressed out with whatevershow or record or book they're working on at the moment. She turns toRey. “You're welcome too, if you want. I don't know what we'd dowith you, but we're pretty loose about things. Right, Poe?”

Poeis beaming at all three of them in a way that makes her a little lessnervous, because she trusts him, and if he trusts them, that meansthat even if they say no, they won't make faces or anything about it.“Exactly. I wish I'd thought of this, honestly. Acting isn't toodifferent from reading the news! And we always need crew members oraliens to teach lessons about being responsible and how to read thealphabet. You could even be alien newscasters, or something.”

Reylooks a little dubious, but one look at Finn, whose smile is growingimprobably wider, and she's relaxing, laughing a little. “We'd haveto talk about it, and I'm definitely a newscaster, not an actor, butwe'd be willing to give it a shot.”

Somehow,the four of them spend the next hour talking about possible guestspots, and then other shows they all watch, and then what seems likeeverything else, until Leia Organa (who is just as terrifying andamazing in person as she seems from a distance) shows up and smilesbenignly and tells them that they're the station's biggest draws andshould maybe speak to people besides each other.

Finngives Rose his number and tells her to talk to him about being aguest, he's not joking, and then disappears to talk to donors, Rey athis heels after another brief exchange of smiles.

“Backto the grind?” Poe asks, not seeming too fussed about Leia's gentlescolding, keeping his arm through hers.

Rosesighs. “Back to the grind.”

Chapter 5 - Ludbeck to Phinora

Siggy hates sand, Quan miscalculates and some people are worried after seeing their lord part with his son, so they talk to their friends. TFW you die because of game mechanics, RIP Quan!

the barbarian gang is here! And he isn’t in the way Jamke, it’s not because you can mop up the arena reliably that everyone can do the same. Ask Midir.

Maybe he matured or grew up seeing so many people die ? no, of course not.

Everyone’s feeling dreadful. The BGM isn’t helping.

because you saw the kids run away, like idk, birds run away from a danger when they can?

Daw! Verdanite solidarity

i know it wasn’t meant like that but the comparison with animals sensing danger isn’t that far off, maybe the devs wanted to make us believe Dew was more in touch with “nature” because he is special, or because he is a verdanite? not cool.

he got hit at 19% and a lot of people reblogged and laughed at his misfortune how can he be happy?

oh i nearly forgot him it’s not like we were close anyways - but i still tried to kill him

Oh at least you have some feelings. Unlike some sisters who murdered their douche bro i suppose

Yep, he deserved it. I bet Lex’d really get along with Bridget. Why are so afraid of your brother Azel?

again Arvis is called “decent”. Compared to the ones of Langbalt and Dannan he sure is, or pretends to be! I think the old translation was weird on this point and implied Azel might have known Viccy when it’s impossible.

Arvis is bipolar? Or sometimes he stops pretending being a decent fellow?

bleh, actually he wasn’t at home, he was in Barhara. But yeah, the thing is here. Funny how Lex can finish Azel’s sentences, they are really close!

you know that short convo is better than some supports i’ve read recently

It’s QUAN!!! Rumours sure are circulating quickly in this Jugdral continent or, again, between Quan and Ludbeck castle being seized, some months happened.

gentlemen - i understand there are no mounted archers like Selfina and i’m sure it won’t bite you in the rear right

more later than sooner, because lol!sand

Ethlyn! Again you’re having some meaningul, dreadful convo. Yes you were dragged into this and dragged your husband too, but your dad never thought about you.

Damn that Calf again a king is ill and he sends a lot of soldiers away - but he’s a badass so he is forgiven, unlike our good pal Azmur.

Well... Granvalle would have extended its Raj to Manster anyways, and the Freeges will actually sit on your throne for some decades.

Well it actually is. They have the best strategist ever on their side after all!

Fighting abroad for a just cause... It has merits, but Quan also has some duty of assisstance to Chalphy because his wife was a Chalphy. Marriage means alliances.

want to take a bet?

Yes, any help. Especially a mounted healer like you and since the Axe crusader died Quan can fight now.

ETHLYN NO

Hey - what about our mounted healer?? Siggy needs her, Raquie’s the only one otherwise (because i forgot to give a staff to Erin)

So Altena’s 3! And how can she be sleeping while Ethlyn’s riding? It’s uncomfortable!

What indeed?

second bet?

you had some sense at one point, but you lost it. Why?

oh. a child crying is a very irritating sound indeed. it totally justifies - wait no.

Oh, Leif exists! Who wants to play WTF is a timeline? or maybe he was 15 and 11 months in FE5′s first chapter!

Finn is such a reliable soldier, he can defend the capital and the Lady Ethlyn on his own!

the last person who said something like that is suddenly married to her brother you don’t want that do you Ethlyn?

Quan just can’t say no to Ethlyn’s puppy eyes!

at this point, even if Ethlyn listened to Quan and backtracked, she’d be killed by Travant so it was a die-die situation. Is it a mistake to take a woman with you on the battlefield? There are no women fighting in Thracia? And what is Eda then, a bench warmer? Or maybe Travant decided to allow women to become soldiers when Altena enrolled.

OH NO HE IS USING TERRAIN ADVANTAGE TRAVANT YOU DASTARD - it’s like killing someone who’s sitting in the privy!

YOU WISH - Finn and Glade and Leif’s ragtag army are the Lanzenritter 2.0!

Your plan would have worked, if Arvis didn’t backstab you. Dastard vs Dastard.

yes we are serious what you expect a game with pies and peeping toms?

dismount you’ll be faster! “how do i dismount we don’t know this technology as of yet!” “crap”

wild hyenas? Even if your last moments you’re racist Quan! Never change.

and you’re only saying this NOW???

i thought they’d attack my castle and die like the usual monday night!

this was actually quite clever from Travant&co, attacking Quan means destroying the guy who wields the Gae Bolg, and since Calf is old (?) Travant could have waited 5 years to attack the now defenseless Leonster. But sadly, Travant’s master plan will be later revealed to have been a part of the Sect.

GRAVE MISCALCULATION YOU MEAN

don’t forget the power of love crits - but dual gard doesn’t exist :’(

meanwhile - Reptor is shiting in his pants. If he had Langbalt’s leash, then Arvis has his?

the true mastermind is revealed!

haha, you think Velthomers respect their promises? BIG MISTAKE REPTOR

baseless - well one of your Crusader died to a peon, so i wouldn’t call that baseless.

what, they’re like those modern SWAT/commandos units, hiding under sand coloured blanket ready to Meteor randoms from afar?

and here Travant’s master idea is actually revealed to have been Arvis’ master idea. I doubt Arvis told him to attack Quan&co precisely, but he hired them to cross that stupid desert, so Quan or no Quan they’d have been here anyways. Was it just a coincidence that Quan happened to cross the desert at that time? Only FE5 will tell.

so long as they cooperate^^ Reptor doesn’t want to become the king anymore, Arvis beat him at his own game. GG Arvis.

oh he won’t forget them don’t worry about that

HAHA - you won’t have Agustria but Manster and hm, A FORMER MERCHANT REPUBLIC

you honoured the Dozel’s rights to these territories but shat on the Freeges. Freege-Velthomer relations are always kind of complicated.

hey it’s manfroy! I haven’t seen you in a long time!

Pissed but still arrogant!Arvis is the best Arvis. What, Manfroy should wear a mask?

This is wonderful - especially compared to the 2ng gen. How the mighty will fall!

Roh. if he does that he dies (or at least he thinks so) and you’re not the only guys he’s hiding.

HEY DON’T CALL THEM BUFFONS BUFFON YOURSELF AT LEAST THEY TRIED TO GET RID OF THE BROKEN WEAPON WHEN YOU WILL FAIL TO KILL JULIA OKAY?

Arvis’ discourse. Hear him well.

sadly your opinion doesn’t matter.

he will remember - when you’ll be dead he’ll tell Julius not to be sad because you’d have turned on them at one point or another.

There’s the blood of my esteemed Father, Victor?

poor Maira, he fought for a just cause but is still remembered as a dirty Loptyrian by the masses.

one true heir - Saias who? - I don’t think it was explained in side materials but why is Vala Loptyr’s sworn enemy?

But to create this world you’ll oppress randoms and be a tyrant?

Manfroy sees right through his bullshit. Arvis wants to create his perfect world, but if can kill two birds with a stone, he’ll use that damn stone.

Arvis is aware - or has doubts - about Deedee’s past life. Or past husband at least.

it’s not like using capslock makes you more convincing your know? If you need to shout it then maybe it’s not truly the case? at least from Deedee’s pov, which is, per side materials, the reason why she’ll come just before the fireworks.

EVEN MANFROY SUPPORTS THE IDEA OF JULIA BECOMING A KING

is it some sort of foreshadowing who wants to be welcomed with meteors??

“gladly”

how has that guy managed to be here? The Rotten Ritter’s training regimen includes a climbing module? no wonder why Azel ran away

no you didn’t i didn’t screencap it. Ayra won’t abandon people at such a crucial hour because Isaachian repays their debts.

you remember this Siggy? and why should shanan be protected, no one wants to kill him in Isaach, right?

he is 15 he is old enough to fight. I talked about this with that Leonster knight and he said 15 is a good age to fight.

“oh come on, Dew’s pretty young too!” Yeah you’ll return Ayra. in your dreams!

Ayra isn’t a soldier but she became Siggy’s friend. she’s changed from Verdane!

But what about Siggy’s BFF?

OH NO he has the plot hax band! You can’t win this one Quan! Unless you proc a lover crit!

NOOO LEONSTER’S BANE - that’s it everyone’s dead.

Even if they have horselayers!

well it failed. RIP Ethlyn! (note how she doesn’t mention Leif in her dying breath and that’s mean - Leif’s true mom is Eyvel)

by the way you keep on calling her “woman” I think you didn’t know she was his wife.

OH NO! He took a bet, he won’t die with the Gae Bolg in hand but if he doesn’t have it then...

are you playing a wicked game of chess?

worry not quan, your sacrifice will make Leif a hero!

so he won’t lose the bet, at least.

“stupid sand i hate sand”

WELP - the dastard leaves him with 1HP

At least you mention your son unlike some mom i knew - is this Quan’s way to say “avenge me Leif” like Langbalt and André did?

Siggy’s already grieving.

even on Dew’s ???

“you see my dragon is kind of hungry and i thought...”

“oh i know you want her to feed YOUR dragon!”

“stop trying to think and just go against Siggy”. Magorn apologises a lot, poor guy :’(

Meanwhile Noish destroys vaha out of spite. Forgive her failure Arvis! “nah, she was expected to fail anyways”

he has purple dragon! Is Dagda living in the mountains where those dragons have their nests? I don’t take this personaly Magorn, i played FE5.

you mean “we finally crossed half of this blaster desert”.

Seliph’s most likely crying and Oifey has to change him, but otherwise they should be okay!

Well it was most likely a Velthomer outpost to begin with so... I bet they used the city when they went on the Isaach campaign.

Quan sent a last carrier pigeon

Yep, wars are everywhere but worry not elder, they’ll stop soon!

that’s quite the detailed message you received, elder!

of course you add “it seems”. Sneaky old man, did the message said Altena was captured?

Is Ethlyn the young girl? Since everyone has been calling Altena a kid or a babe, I suppose Ethlyn’s mentioned here.

And Siggy just lost his remaining family! Be safe Seliph (and Oifey)!

#FE4 #FE4 run #Siggy no #Arvis no #he is so arrogant manfroy must find it very funny when Chapter 10 happens #Quan no #Ethlyn who don't you mention Leif i mean #Travant was just a pawn in this I find it sad in a way #it was supposed to be his hour of glory but nope #i love Lex and Azel's convo #it's short but brings more to the table than 4 convos between Camilla and Ryoma #i'm half joking here

Sophia & Edward

I'm aware there's a big age gap between them and before Edward left for school and work I imagine Sophia was very little still and Wardo was an energetic teenager with many friends. I don't think he would neglect her nor Paul and Sarah would let him off the "big brother" duty either but I wonder if Sophia remembers their interactions before he left and his short visits were enough to make her feel close to Wardo, or if their bond only grew strong when he came back for good.

Wardo is a very loving person, sometimes too loving but when he was younger he had many people surrounding him and asking for his attention (not that it bothered him).

Unlike her brother I think Sophia struggled to make friends or have "best friends". She wasn't a good first impression type of person and she noticed that quickly. Every new meeting made her stomach anxious but if asked she would proudly say she didn't care if people liked her or not.

She does make friends eventually though. Probably with other strong-headed kids like her or ones that didn't care for her volatile attitude.

With Edward gone, Sarah and Paul have a lot of time to be with Sophia. I don't think there's anyone in the world that Sophia trusts as much as her parents, also I think they've always treated like her own person, not a little kid, which is probably why she's always frowned at adults that acted as if she was too young to be taken serious.

Sarah is the person Sophia goes to when she needs to deal with her feelings, when she can't express the tightness in her chest or wishes there was a way to control her embarrassment.

Paul had to deal with the "But dad, why?" questions ever since she was a toddler and that phase never really went away. I imagine that the "How? Teach me, please." demands came along just as fast and I 100% love the image of Paul running after Sophia who stole one of his tools from the garage and is dangerously waving it above her head while laughing.

Wardo has to do all the piggyback rides and play all sorts of games she can think of when he visits and he brings her trinkets from every nice place he visits. One time, when she's older, he comes back and they spend two days drawing and painting a world map to hang on the hallway wall (looks terrible and there are like 40 countries misplaced or missing) and they put pins on places they've been.

–– June 17, 2016 This is where I actually stopped but since I've had to re-read this I'll add:

Sophia doesn't trust people outside of her family and friends circle, not that she'll be hostile and upfront with everyone but she'll watch and pay attention. With Paul and Sarah as her parent I bet she's also an observant person and just like them probably I think they're wary of Finn at first.

Sarah doesn't know him and she's not worried about Wardo and Finn's relationship but she can see Finn has a lot of baggage but he's reserved, she can respect that and she see that Wardo adores him and he's big enough to make his own decisions.

His little sister is not so great at just letting Edward have his relationship without saying anything. At this point she's too young to do anything more than ask and say she's not a fan of Finn ("I don't trust him." "That's fine, but he's with Edward now." "So?" "Your brother likes him, you could make an effort to accept him." "I could, but–" "You will, sweetheart.") and actively misbehave when Finn is around, if she were older I think she would go to the length of spying on Finn tbh.

It leads to a serious chat with Wardo that she wasn't expecting, I don't think in any scenario I will find serious!Edward not scary because it's so unusual, I can only imagine how bad Sophia felt afterwards. Not enough she was readily apologizing to Finn, she's stubborn af but perhaps after a while, after she sees he's not that bad, just quiet and skittish in a way none of them are but he has a dog and he works at the shelter so he can't be that bad right.

Eventually Finn will win her over and after that it's nothing but loyalty and love from Sophia. I imagine she'll be very excited about Miles too and protective of him even when she shouldn't be ("He's just a kid!" "He bit his friend's arm." "So did I when I was his age!").

January 30: Thoughts on 1x06: My Sister’s Keeper

Instead of eating dinner at a normal time like a normal person, or even watching TV in a normal way like a normal person, I took over an hour to watch a 40 minute episode and write these incoherent notes on it.

Okay, so the flashback saying seventeen years ago implies Octavia is seventeen, and here I was, pretty darn sure she was supposed to be sixteen as of the pilot. Not super sure how I got that idea but regardless, I actually do like it better, it makes somewhat more sense to me.

Aurora’s a pretty terrible person and tbh I wish the show had just gone there 1000%, more along the lines of the books. Like this show is so weak sometimes. Not that making her son an accomplice to a crime and telling him that making sure neither his sister nor mother is brutally murdered by the state is his sole responsibility isn’t bad enough but like...they could have gone harder on just how screwed up this situation is.

I guess since the massacre in S3 no one gives a fuck about Bellamy throwing away the radio but I remember when it used to be the Hugest Deal Ever that he did that (a laugh btw), and isn’t it funny how the very next episode starts out Hardcore Humanizing him by showing him as a small child just trying to take care of his sibling??

“It’s Octavia. She’s probably chasing butterflies.” Girl does that one time and it’s like her only character trait. I feel like ‘being a petulant brat’ should overshadow it but okay. (I don’t even dislike Octavia, I just think ‘butterfly chaser’ is more of an anomaly than a primary character trait.)

Lincoln’s mancave: OMG he has paper bound books and something that looks like a toy car?!? I’ve never noticed this before.

Generally though everything about Lincoln’s introduction (kidnapping Octavia, chaining her up, and most importantly refusing to speak to her in her language even though he’s fucking fluent in it) tells me that the writers cared 100% about drama and suspense and 0% about believability or long-term character consistency, which is part of why I have a hard time giving them the benefit of the doubt ever. Sorry.

First appearance of Monroe. Like 20 years after the pilot, sorry again but I still don’t believe she was cast that early and didn’t show up in a single frame for 5 whole episodes.

Never forget that Jasper was known for, what, weeks maybe, as the kid who can’t leave camp. Also I miss Jasper + Octavia friendship stuff tbh. Totally underrated.

Finn was considered a good tracker, that was like his one skill. Literally.

Raven’s so beautiful.

I know I always say I don’t hate Finn and then I badmouth Finn but like it’s so hard to see the connection between Finn and Raven and I’m trying, sincerely, but...I don’t know. Maybe it’s the fandom. Maybe it’s the annoying way he tells Clarke he’s “not sure” they can stop having an affair when, like, she literally just told him, she’s not going to have an affair and that’s totally the sort of thing one can choose to do or not do. Hard to tell.

Jasper is bi headcanon continuously constantly confirmed. “Finn? We’re not gonna find her with you?”

Bellamy is looking particularly beautiful in this episode. If no one has giffed his face when he finds the skeleton graveyard, someone should do that.

Speaking of: skeleton graveyard! That’s the kind of creepy shit I like. No idea what tf it is or why it’s there but it’s cool as heck.

So Bellamy braves the skeleton yard because O’s his sister, obviously, and Jasper because he likes her, and Finn because IDK gotta be a hero or something, but you know who else goes with them when all the little boys get scared and leave? Monroe. Boom. Another wasted character.

Aurora: “Fear is a demon. Close your eyes and tell yourself you’re not afraid. That is how you slay the demon.” Bellamy is such a wide-eyed innocent. He’s just trying so hard.

I stand by my theory that class disparity on the Ark has little to do with material wealth but I will admit the Blakes have a much shittier housing unit than the Griffins, the Chancellor, or anyone in Alpha based on the S3 quarters.

I still ship Clarke/Raven something fierce; I miss scenes like this one where they...you know...interact. I love that Raven loves flowers and thinks Abby’s a badass and I also love that they either walked all night or stopped to rest and ended up (literally) sleeping together.

The Grounders are obviously lame as a whole but even I am impressed by their sneak attacks. RIP other John.

Okay also by the way: the Grounders only attacked when the kids crossed the skeleton line, or as this helpful exposition points out, when they “crossed the boundary.” In other words, as of now, the total Grounder interaction with the Sky Kids has been: spearing Jasper when he crossed a boundary, (possibly rogue) spying, having their spy go (extra?) rogue and kidnap someone, and killing a couple more kids when they crossed another boundary (this one admittedly more clearly marked). So far, almost halfway through season 1, the Grounders really do not seem to give a fuck about the Delinquents. I really don’t think this ever had anything to do with land. I think if the kids were on Tri Kru land this entire time they would have been wiped out in Episode 2.

Anya will of course later cite the destruction of the Grounder village by the flares. Retaliation seems to come pretty late for that lol (I’ll have to watch, actually--DO they ever retaliate for that?), but at least it’s a definite, though accidental, form of aggression.

Okay, wow, it is canon that Bellamy and Octavia are from the section that would have been quietly killed in the original culling plan; it says Section 17 on their door.

Octavia’s first walk through the Ark is really beautiful though. Lovely sequence.

I love how they have their dance...in a hallway? Like undergrad parties in the atrium in Main.

How completely overwhelming and magical to be Octavia in that moment though, like she‘s literally only met 2 people her entire life and now she’s around all of these other kids, just dancing and having fun.

(Also it still bugs me what tf is behind Jasper’s goggles in this scene why I do obsess over random shit? And yet. Also also he’s 14 in that flashback what a trip.)

Lincoln’s neck thing with the skull hands on it is one of my favorite pieces of Grounder wardrobe.

I wonder if Lincoln doesn’t speak because in his head he’s like ‘oh shit, I’m in so much trouble, what the fuck am I doing, this is such a bad idea.’

I feel like they should have started figuring out that Jasper has some Pretty Big Issues sometime around here: can’t leave camp, starts screaming for Grounders to kill them, etc. Funny how no one is suspicious about this.

I find it semi-weird that the response to a solar flare is to start taking names, like--this makes me think there was no solar flare, this is just a trick of the totalitarian state. I mean “you know the drill, masks off, id chips out” sounds like this happens a lot--random person inspections just like random housing inspections. Also what is an “ID chip”? I feel like this is something you carry but you know what would have been cooler? Something in your skin. But this is a Fake Sci Fi show so they’re not going to go that route.

Was Bellamy going to “create a distraction” for O using police brutality?

Major props to make up making Marie Avgeropolous, a woman pushing 30 at the time this was filmed, look like she’s actually 15/16 years old.

Bellamy’s realization that O doesn’t know how to get home breaks my heart EVERY DAMN TIME.

This is definitely the moment when Shumway picked Bellamy to be his Chancellor assassin.

It’s not funny, but Finn, Bell, Jasper, and Monroe squeezed under a tent together just looks like the most awkward sleepover ever. Which is to say it is pretty funny.

No commentary, only respect, for the Clarke + Raven discuss Finn scene, but: “Do you love him?” / “I hardly know him” is gold because, yeah, she does hardly know him, and even though Finn would 10000% think otherwise, level headed people like Clarke know what’s what. (Aside: I actually think she was lying to him when she killed him--or that she meant ‘love’ in the general sense, the same way she loves, say Monty or Octavia or any delinquent. But that’s just me.)

I feel a little cheated over a proper Jasper/Octavia hug tbh.

LOL at Jasper wanting to take the knife out of Finn. “Mom, Dad said I couldn’t take the knife out...”

Next time on The 100: Raven and Clarke work together to save the life of a boy who two-timed them both. Then they fall in love.

Bellamy and Clarke and leadership, since I’m semi-trying to develop a theory here: nothing really about leadership in this ep. Clarke seems initially to be heading up the search party with Bell, but then she goes with Raven and has basically the C-Plot. From the point of view of the delinquents, in this ep, Bellamy is definitely the leader (again) and Clarke is the doctor.

WANTED! FC can be changed!

Name: Finn Clayworth Age: 34 Sexuality: Heterosexual Gender: Male Portrayed By: Scott Porter Availability: Open

“I’m open to talk and to help if anyone needs it.”

→ Background

Growing up in a highly catholic family might be a lot of a struggle for most people. Finn though, the oldest Clayworth sibling, didn’t really have problems. He didn’t have to do much for it. He went to church twice a week and to bible study once a week. He figured there were worse things in life and if he went, then his parents would let him do other things without much hesitation. It worked well for him and Finn was actually interested in the whole religion thing. His little sister Nikki though, needed to be dragged to church, skipping out and pretending she was sick ever since she was little. Finn didn’t judge her, it wasn’t for everyone but he wished she wouldn’t make her own life so hard. In high school he was friends with Caleb Peterson. They weren’t best friends but they hung out a lot since they had a lot of similar classes. Of course it felt weird that Caleb was friends with his sister too eventually, but he wasn’t bugged much by it.

Finn was easygoing anyway. He respected people like they were and didn’t make much of an effort to judge anyone, even though that was something his parents tried to teach him. After high school he left town for college to study Theology. He wasn’t particularly interested in just one, following every rule by the book no one really read anyway, but he was interested in the diversity and the differences between all those religions in this world. He partly did what his parents liked him to do, but he extended his reach from just being catholic. Once out of college he started to travel first, apparently one of the things he had in common with his sister. Both loved to go abroad and he did see a lot of things, always trying to catch up with his sister, who was in London by now, leaving behind the little town and her parents.

→ Back to Baberton

Eventually Finn returned to Baberton. He works as an Religious Education teacher at the local high school. He likes to work with his friend Ryan Fletcher and is actually happy to see that his friend Caleb is back in town now, along with his sister. He usually just teaches some classes but sometimes, when in need, he helps out at bible study. He likes his job, hoping to bring the kids closer to something that could help overcome their fears, telling them that there’s something they can believe in, whatever that is. Still, Finn is easygoing and respects all the religions, trying to understand. Trying to understand the ones who don’t believe too, like his sister. Nikki had always been a rebel, and he doesn’t like how his mother kind of got between them. She didn’t speak for him but apparently that’s what his sister thinks. Ever since her abortion Nikki had been the outcast of the family and Finn tries to reach out but she brushes him off since she believes it was his beliefs too that were in the way. She’s so wrong and he really wants to get his family back. He really wants to be the big brother and didn’t like that his mother even uninvited his sister to their fathers funeral.

→ What’s His Secret?

Had a lot of girlfriends through the time. He’s a nice guy and women like him but almost all of them cheated on him after a while. He always felt bad and slowly thinks he could never find someone again. One night though he was at a bar, a little down so he got drunk and met Hannah Clarkson, who was just as drunk. She told him about a lot of things, about her ex boyfriend cheating on her and how she now was on the other end of the food chain. She seemed upset but also talked about her current boyfriend. One thing led to another and suddenly they landed in his apartment. He remembers most of it, feels horrible for some, but on the other hand it felt freeing to be the other person in this scenario now.

Saw someone come out of the Green Dove Pub the night Evan Johnson died. He couldn’t really make out who it was but, ever since then, has been getting threatening messages about it. He’s curious who he really saw but doesn’t really dare to find out.
