#Saskia’s affection for Tzila is Everything tho

[quinn-of-aebradore]

Okay okay finished the episode and I am chewing on everything.

Phineas, my sweet messy boy, abandoning the Trust (yay!) and literally not even an hour later diving into service(?) to another very powerful entity (oh no), buddy let’s get you some self-worth and a sense of internal direction, stay.

Lark’s whole final conversation with Tzila fucking hurt, man, holy shit. Like, that’s the point, I know, but good gods. Twisting the knife about Fuze, reminding Tzila how much she cared for him, before even stabbing the knife in and telling her she killed him. Augh. And I am so desperately curious about how and why she killed Maximillian at what, thirteen years old? And the way it’s described, she barely having been older than Tzila is now when she blew her life up. Just the idea of that, fucking up in such an extreme way as a preteen that you spend fifty years running from it and locking yourself off from the world. Absolutely insane, so fucking delicious, I’m obsessed.

Also speaking of Tzila, the revelation that Hieronymus is her other parent genuinely made me shout, of all the things to happen, I was NOT anticipating that and it is such a good twist, my god. Him and Saskia seeing Tzila (and Lark) in the crowd and talking about how much she looks like Sherman (and has Hieronymus’s nose) got me good. I am so curious about the history there, the terms he and Sherman parted on, if he was a part of Tzila’s life when she was very young (because I imagine she’d have to have been so young she couldn’t remember him, if she didn’t recognize him in Stationary Hill, even with everything going on) or if he never was.

And good fucking lord, Moc Weepe. I am never getting over how horrifying the of his transformed form description was (the art is stellar too but the narration REALLY sells it), I knew it couldn’t be good after Everything that went down at the Arca and how many episodes were between that and the finale, but holy shit. Imelda Goldfinch when I get my hands on you and your fanatical bullshit, I swear.
