hmmm thinking about sean again. how he fulfilled his deal and just turned off his emotions in order to turn against the people he trusted and loved. but how he didn’t acknowledge or hurt marion the whole time. looking at the brother that he is betraying, losing, is too painful. he’ll shoot at his friend, a person he has worked and laughed with. he’ll knock out someone who has been like family to him and not give her words the time of day. but he can’t acknowledge that in saving his mother, he has to lose another brother.

#I WANT TO PUT HIM IN A JAR AND SHAKE IT.#on one hand I’m like I can’t believe he took that deal. on the other hand- I don’t see any other way it could’ve gone for him.#one of those characters that does something so fucked up but so understandable that you can’t like. be upset about it.#brennan lee mulligan you master of your craft you #also. the way that the dice roll Spenser makes him do behind the wall has three options #1.) sean is killed and replaced by a shapeshifter #2a) sean survives by killing the shapeshifter #2b.) sean survives because he takes the deal and agrees to betray the circle and help being the mother into the world #the way that when you see sean again you know that only 1 and 2b are possible. and both are fucked up!#because he does not say Shit.#so then the whole time you go back and forth #and then brennan does that evil fucking thing and improvises like the ‘hey ma.’ or whatever when the explodes the astrolabe #and you’re like nOOOOo Sean is dead!#but then he smiles with genuine pride at Jean and you go oh. oh no.#and then auntie bea stabs him and you know without a doubt that it’s Sean and it’s like OH NO!!!!!#fucked. whirlpool of emotions.#the relief I felt that it was sean tho.#yes he has made a terrible choice yes he has made a leap that is impossible to jump back from yes he is dead #but it was on HIS fucking terms.#he didn’t die off screen and he made a choice for himself.#it’s so fucked up and I love it #in a way that I don’t think I’ve ever experienced before?#like in any media.#I’ve never been so aware of how strong a betrayal and how fucked a choice is. and then been like. yeah but I 100% get it.#like it’s a mix of ‘I support women’s wrongs’ vibes #and like vindication and justice for what Sean for his mom and for himself #but also an acknowledgement of like. yeah he betrayed his best friend who he saw as a brother and YESTERDAY thought ‘I can’t lose [him]’#ITS SO FUCKED.#sean finnerty #candela obscura
