Eddie: Your son is out of control. Buck: M-my son? I can barely stop getting flustered when you call Chris 'our' son, why are you calling him just mine all of a sudden?! Eddie: Because he's dating five different girls and you need to talk him out of it. Now. Buck, blinking rapidly: ...Yeah, alright. I can see how that is my problem. Five though? Eddie: It better not be six.

The thing about mahiru tsuyuzaki is that for someone who consistently sees herself as behind her classmates in skill, in both the show and movie she has very commanding stage presence. Obviously the revue of competition is the more direct example of this, but the first chunk of the revue of jealousy is essentially her toying with Karen in a way that’s not too dissimilar to how Maya treats her in the revue of pride, just played a bit more for comedy. Considering many of the revues show the participants being on close footing skill wise and focusing more on the individual’s willpower (again, barring Maya and Nana in the anime) both of the revues mahiru is in she’s the star even if she doesn’t always see it.

*tgaac spoilers*

are people divided on kazuma staying a prosecutor? i felt like it made much sense from tgaa 1-1, when he tells runo he would make a great defence attorney it already lowkey seemed to me like kazuma himself *doesnt* want to be one and is kinda stuck in the role because he has a reputation to uphold, partially because he IS from an outstanding clan (and the sole descendant at that) and its his only chance to get to britain. i got super strong vibes that he is either doubting himself (which by aa rules makes him not fully commited to being a defense attorney) or just is not as invested in it as he would like people (players in the meta lense?) to think.

i also think his in-universe explanation makes a lot of sense - the whole dialogue about demons and specifically *his* inner demons, i think he is 1. genuinly trying to make it right by fighting against criminals (in aa logic) and potentially 2. make it up to barok because he did almost doom the man

it might also be an interesting mirror to edgeworth who chose chose the path opposite to his dad (until im crazy and genshin was a defense lawyer)

idk i had a lot of beef with aa characters being weird and inconsistent but kazuma's story makes total sense to me. its his resolve also!

Hmm, either things really Change, or this is them once more extending big checks they have no intention of paying.

With Eddie, same as we've been saying, that they better lay Shannon's ghost to rest for real this time and we'll have to wait and see how it goes with Chris.

Buck... it really is about bringing up his abandonment issues but with a heavy dose of Buck seen/treated as a Giant Manchild Who Always Makes Things About Himself (how novel! how fun!), and to top it off now he doesn't even have a place of his own anymore. Which leaves them in an awkward place.

If Eddie comes back with Chris, Buck can't stay there without courting trouble with fandom; same if Eddie comes back alone. That would leave Buck doing Couch Surfing Redux until... who knows. Or maybe the loft will have conveniently remained free!

If Eddie doesn't come back, then Buck is back to status quo just minus a BFF and having changed a loft for a house.

And again the question is, where is this all leading Buck? the deeper they press on the bruise, the more... evident the healing that must occur afterwards.

After this episode it isn't any more or less likely that Bucktommy will reunite, but in my opinion it's even more necessary that they do.

Because with Buck what they're poking at is: abandonment issues, adulthood/responsibility, and family/home.

None of that is new.

But doing that after Buck's 'most transformative relationship' ended in such a premature and open way, then displacing him from his home of 6 years... that demands a resolution, an evolution.

And seriously, sincerely, how tf do you do that without reuniting him with Tommy? Tommy who not for nothing, has been the one character who consistently has indulged Buck's whimsy and also noticed and taken his concerns seriously (I don't need to list examples, do I).

i would love for season two to follow charles arc a little bit more. this is something i’ve been thinking about for a while because season one, while it does focus on charles as well, is mainly i feel about edwin’s arc. we have him realizing he’s gay, realizing his feelings for charles, being sent back to hell, standing up to the cat king, etc etc. and while we do have a lot of good charles moments (devlin house, lighthouse leapers), his moments felt more like they were setting up the arc/the first part of the arc rather than the whole thing. idk if i’m making any sense but i think it would be nice to see

The faultlines revealed in the BuckTommy breakup are not just shown in Buck moving faster than Tommy's pace/asking Tommy to move in with him rather than having a discussion about moving in together, but also in Tommy's reaction. The "you'll break my heart" speech shows affection, but it also shows a lack of trust and respect. Tommy doesn't take Buck's stated feelings and wants seriously because Tommy assumes his greater experience with men outweighs any ability of Buck to make his own judgement and/or Tommy is too busy projecting his intimacy issues onto the relationship to actually listen to Buck rather than his own biases. And maybe Buck rushing ahead in this moment gives him reason to question Buck's judgement, but rather than stating his own thoughts and having a discussion about it, Tommy dismisses the relationship entirely with the framing that Buck is intrinsically incapable of being a good partner to him and will inevitably hurt Tommy (and this is a problem specifically with dating Buck rather than a normal risk of emotionally deep relationships). And the whole setup is a mirror to their first conflict: Tommy walks out on the first date because he unilaterally decides Buck isn't ready (distinctly framing it as being intrinsic to Buck and Tommy who knows better doing him a favour, rather than Tommy acting on his own relationship preference or him choosing not to be with somebody at that stage of their journey or saying [not unreasonably] he was uncomfortable with Buck's actions after Eddie arrived). Buck gets carried away and says things without thinking through the consequences, but Tommy reacts to situations that would require him to resolve an emotional conflict by deflecting the entire thing onto the other party.

Neither side of the conflict is insurmountable but it is a conflict which has to be untangled from both sides because Buck needs to resist being a steamroller of impulsive overcompensating, but they also can't build a functional relationship if Buck is permanently on thin ice trying to avoid the next misstep which will make Tommy react with 'this is uncomfortable so there must be something wrong with you and this relationship could never work'.

purely fanon jason vent below so feel free to ignore

every other fic in the jason todd tag whether its romantic or platonic or whatever just has to include something about the no kill rule or him giving up killing like is it not enough ! have we not hashed out this argument enough already ! can I not read some jason content without having to be randomly bombarded by the morality police and how “oh jasons not killed anyone for x amount of months thats great! we knew u could do it jay”

and I wish I was just joking like I really do but I have scoured the tag almost from top to bottom and it always, without a doubt, has to come up at some point. its his fucking defining character trait apparently. mind u he’s not even the only dc character that kills but yall just won’t let it go! I do not need jason giving up his stance on killing to be written out for me to be able enjoy content about him

and whether its included so that his relationships with other characters can be viewed as ‘realistic’ is just so. what does it matter. its already fan-fiction who the hell cares about justifying the universe that you’re choosing to write him in

What happened with the Driftmark throne succession? How is that matter not settled yet?

In all seriousness though, the succession crisis doesn't seem like it's getting resolved anytime soon.

Corlys is going into battle at the end of season two, and for all he knows, he could die. Which would leave the 6-7 year old Joffrey as the new Lord of Driftmark. While that's not necessarily an issue, Corlys made it one when he expressed his displeasure at having a child as his remaining heir. But I do believe that the writers are trying to avoid having Corlys act against Rhaenyra in any way, such as by pushing Joffrey aside from the Velaryon line of succession to name one of his own bastards (as happened in book canon). So Corlys simply does nothing.

If HOTD was still closely following the book, then Addam as the eldest of Corlys' bastards could've been legitimized as the new heir. Addam being named heir would've been an open and shut case because he actually does want it. Even in the show, Addam is the one who expressed interest in the Driftwood throne. But he's also younger than Alyn now so it's not possible unless Alyn dies first. The show made Alyn the elder sibling, and he doesn't want anything. This is probably part of the reason why their ages were switched in show canon. HOTD is going to milk that deadbeat father drama for all its worth by dragging out the succession issue.
