So many beautiful things about these panels: Cyrus acknowledging that he was saved from his own despair thanks to the protagonists; the fact that he doesn’t punish Charon for his betrayal, simply leaving him behind instead; listening to Jupiter’s words and taking full responsability, even though he doesn’t intend to do bad stuff with Team Galactic anymore; the sweet moment when his Magneton lifts the three admins, taking them with him.

Cyrus slowly embracing his own flaws and imperfections by finding completeness in others is just so meaningful and sweet, especially for someone who grew up in an abusive household and had a hard time making friends, choosing to tinker with machines instead.The pain he endured all by himself, the fact that he lost Rotom for some reason, the loneliness and struggles. He never deserved any of that. And he never meant to destroy the world or hurt people, although his actions are controversial. He just wanted to get rid of emotions because he was never enough for his parents. He never found himself enough, often seeing his own existence as incomplete because he never had validation or affection. Still, he has such a strong will. He did everything he could to make a new world without any strife (albeit as twisted as his mind at that time).

Cyrus was never meant to be evil. He was literally just in a very sad and lonely position when growing up. He was in deep pain and by default decided to interpret that pain as a flaw of the spirit. “I can’t feel pain if I don’t feel anything at all.” As twisted as this thought is, it had logic for him, and he treasured logic above everything else. It made sense in his mind and this is why he was only able to see the errors of his ways when he realized that his plan would never be possible. He started listening and opening his heart to Diamond, and he finally understood that he could have overcome all that pain by finding peace and support in others, which is particularly hard for him because how could he trust people when his own family saw him as a disappointment, no matter how high his grades were or how hard he tried to live up to their expectations?

And yet, against all odds, he is trying. He literally found redemption by changing his own perspectives of the world, all by himself. That’s how strong Cyrus’s heart, will and spirit are.

so me and Sam FINALLY watched the last season of Capaldi's Who

and tell me how, after literally over a decade and for perhaps the first time in his fucking career, Steven Moffat wrote a not just tolerable but really actually good two-parter and fully stuck the landing. like the editing and pacing were still a bit off but the storyline was original, fun, interesting and emotionally invested, and most importantly, rather than ending on a damp fart or the most furious autofellatio in history, the final part didn't fumble it and ended in a way that felt emotionally satisfying and like it made sense for the characters. like the last time he successfully wrapped up a multiparter in a way that didn't feel cheap and hollowly disappointing to me was literally The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, and a) that was in 2005 and b) tbh The Doctor Dances is about a tenth as compelling and memorable as The Empty Child.

so after 12 years of either hackery or great ideas that fall apart in the second act, Steven Moffat writes what I would genuinely consider to be a memorable Good Doctor Who serial. it ends with bittersweet pathos, a solid closer for all the main characters, and sends Moffat's showrunning career out on a genuine high despite failing ratings and budget cuts (and the fact Doctor Who hasn't been consistently good since about 2009). good job Steve. with grudging respect I admit you pulled it out of the bag on this one.

wait what's this there's one more episode left? and it stars Mark Gatiss? and you literally spend the whole episode inexplicably just shitting all over the legacy of Doctor Who by inventing a version of the First Doctor that bears literally no resemblance to the character that William Hartnell actually played, just so you can spend the whole episode saying misogynistic things to run yourself off to how much more Totally Feminist your version was than the version you made up in your head of what Doctor Who was like in the 60s? and it added literally nothing to the season except to take all the wind out of the sails of the actually good finale you already wrote?

even when he writes a good episode this fucker still finds ways to disappoint me.

also i hated those days in between fine event story releases. can we not do that again ever

[mihotose]

kozue doesn't even pray at shrines bc she only wants to rely on her own efforts so its so strange she believes in fortunes. i think she was in hell by march 2023 (hadnt performed with anyone for months), saw the daily horoscope saying she'll meet her soulmate that day, kaho happened to run into her, and so she decided she was the one forever. the event that singlehandedly made her believe in fortunes

Also, I’m trying to imagine how people who grew up reading the Greyfriars stories feel about Alan Moore taking their childhood heroes and having them grow up to be Anglosphere Literature’s most infamous totalitarian dictators.

As someone who didn't grow up with Greyfriars, to the point that when he first read a plot synopses of The Black Dossier he genuinely thought the big plot twist was four children and a dog were secretly Big Brother, I can't say I'm overly critical of that plot twist myself? Like, correct me if I'm wrong, but Greyfriars is mainly about the shenanigans of a group of teenage boys in a traditional contronymical English public school, and given... everything about the current state of the English Conservative Party, the notion that if left unchecked a particularly cruel group of public school boys could set up the Ur-example of dystopic hellscape seems like a decently believable notion to me.

But, then again, that's kind of the problem with League writ large, isn't it? I think the Greyfriars twist is a decent idea because I am not overly attached to Greyfriars as a story, in much the same way that I know for a fact that people who do not have the same emotional relationship to The Dark is Rising barely glance at Will Stanton in Hogwarts, and the same way that I assume people who don't particularly care about Dracula are perfectly happy with the treatment of Mina. Paradoxically to the intentions of League, or at least what I assume the intentions are given the sheer amount of references in it, the vast majority of Moore's plot is more enjoyable the less you know about the characters involved in it.

Which, again, is something Moore has in common with all those Marvel & DC event comics he claims to hate - except honestly not even then, at least for the top quality event comics - as a Batman fan, I can read Infinite Crisis and enjoy Batman's character in it specifically because I like Batman, even as I hate everything about Wonder Woman's character because I like Wondy. So, perhaps I should give Alan Moore more credit - he's not only managed to perfectly capture the feeling of an event comic, he's managed to capture the feeling of a D-Tier event comic, like Zero Hour or Forever Evil, where the only way you come out of it satisfied with your fave is if they play an exceedingly minor role in the actual plot.

lwjs impressive and laser-targeted 13-16 year career of yearning and loyalty and devotion easily outmatched by hua cheng just for sheer obsessiveness and the length of time he was out pining for (almost 1000 years) (insane)

legally, mikayla's last name is ramirez, which makes her initials mar. this was completely intentional on her grand-father's part, as a way to honor his father mars. he was the one to choose all of mikayla's names, which is why she kept her first and middle, instead of abandoning the entire thing, like she did with her last name.
