#anyway rewatching ep 1

I rarely voice my opinions on stuff like this but I think it’s ridiculous that people fight over a show that hasn’t even aired yet.

Okay already pausing partway through the Donghai battle to scream a little. We talk a lot about how Li Xiangyi felt betrayed by Di Feisheng, and how this battle was Di Feisheng's priority despite being in he middle of a war. But Di Feisheng during the donghai battle doesn't look even remotely smug or satisfied or any of the things that a man who's been looking forward to this fight at any cost should look like? Li Xiangyi's grief and betrayal are louder, more obvious all along, but the more I watch the more I wonder if Di Feisheng also felt horribly betrayed by Li Xiangyi's actions.

Li Xiangyi defied every expectation people must have had of the 'Hero' by signing that treaty with Di Feisheng. What did they mean to each other before it all went to shit? Did they see someone who would look past the myths they were made into? Someone who wouldn't fall for the stories people liked to make about them, who could be trusted to see the truth, keep track of what really mattered. Equals in more than their skills. And in the light of that... did Di Feisheng's faith in Li Xiangyi waver, did he felt let down when Li Xiangyi accepted without question that Di Feisheng had killed his shixiong and broken their treaty? Did he take Shan Gudao's body only to find the true culprit and throw them at Li Xiangyi, disappointed and furious that he would assume Di Feisheng would break his word like that?

Li Xiangyi leading his sect into war against Jinyuan Alliance and Di Feisheng- that's not the battle Di Feisheng wanted. It's not a battle of swordsmen as equals, it's a Hero who's come to defeat the Villain. Maybe Di Feisheng wondered if he was wrong after all. If Li Xiangyi never was his equal in spirit, if he was just another Righteous Hero who ultimately went along with what the world demanded of him. "Your biggest weakness is that you like being a Hero. And a swordsman should not have weaknesses." Di Feisheng says that. There's not a hint of gloating when the sounds of the battle on the shore reach them, and he asks Li Xiangyi "How does it feel to bring them here to die?" It sounds confrontational. Di Feisheng looks furious. How does it feel to play the part the world had assigned you and lead them to death?

Just. The donghai battle as the result of two people who thought they understood each other, who were deceived and felt so betrayed by each other that instead of mending anything they just made it worse. Never has a divorce been this messy

What if my father's attitude to magic is wrong?

[hueningkoi]

I fuckin hate netflix for a lot of reasons but what really gets me ragin' is the auto play of trailers if I take slightly too long to scroll through shows and even more so because I share a TV with my sister who's obsessed with using a sound bar and has that shit turned up to high heaven so I'm blasted to ass and back with a trailer autoplaying and im flying through the air like Marty mcfly and his guitar amp speaker everytime I go to try and watch an episode of Worst Roommate Ever

[airenyah]

i need there to be ten days between each ep of the heart killers, not seven. bc it takes me 5 days to process the new episode in the first place, then i take another night to rewatch with my brain turned on and ready to take notes and then i suddenly only have one day left for meta writing, a day on which i don't really have time bc i have classes and stuff

[mychlapci]

you shouldn't have let me watch tfa

[honeyboyfelix]

.

[shoukohime]

hq is great bc it asks the very important question what if you paired the two most dramatic teenagers in town and made them crazy about something so nonsensical and inconsequential as high school volleyball and the result is a genuinely amazing manga about love, friendship and growth

[stranger-awakening]

do y'all think i can convince my dad to sit through opla with me while my sister's on holiday for a few weeks???

[lesbianmaxevans]

The letters are signed with the name Phillipe Ray. I brought you that dress because I want you to come with me to the show. And because I don't care what people think. If you come to the show, we'll start over. If not, I swear I'll never come bother you again. But find the letters, please.

god Merlin 1x04 is still peak. Merlin drinking poison instead of Arthur to save his life. Arthur disobeying his father to look for a cure no matter what. Merlin spending his whole suffering, dying, mumbling Arthur's name in his sleep begging for him to come back lest he falls into a trap. Arthur refusing to give up. Merlin casting magic to save Arthur and lead him away from the cure to save him instead. Arthur refusing to listen and endangering himself for the cure still. Arthur smuggling and hiding the cure, begging his father to give Merlin the cure even if Arthur had to be locked away for months as long as saving Merlin was possible. Arthur still smuggling the cure back to Merlin at all cost. episode 1x04 my beloved.
