#but it does explain some things!!!

[earl-of-221b]

Ok, I finally get it!! So Jin Yong Wuxia Universe version of Legend of the Condor heroes is paced Like That, partially because it’s a FIVE PARTER. The original Condor Heroes plot is fully covered in the first 30 eps.

Then there’s these supplementary episodes (not yet aired) that goes into the individual stories of the Five Greats: Young, Hot Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong, Oyang Ke, Duan Huangye (Yideng) and also Wang Chongyang (Zhou Botong’s senior brother). All of the old men in their physical primes up to their fight on Mount Hua, before Yideng’s retirement, before Huang Yaoshi lost his wife, before Oyang Ke’s lover remarried, before Hong Qigong lost his finger.

I finally get the choice of the younger actors playing these roles and the extremely fast flashbacks showing only glimpses of the past. The past is its own story. Everybody is getting backstory. This is an insane way to release the Condor Heroes but I am very intrigued and looking forward to it.

If you look closely at the trailer again, it shows parts of the Five Greats’ pasts that don’t appear in the story proper - including Huang Yaoshi’s disciples and Mei Changfeng with her lover, Cheng Xuanfeng. This is probably the reason why Cheng Xuanfeng exists for 12 seconds in like ep 2 - he and Mei Chaofeng’s love and betrayal might be fleshed out during Huang Yaoshi’s story.

Waittt, what did you mean with your last post?? I don't want to spoil myself so I'm waiting for the nightmare before christmas event to arrive on the eng server before diving deep into the wiki. But I HAVE to know; were there hints of Lilia joining in for a rerun or a sequel ??? Your big "OR IS IT???" filled me with way too much hope !! please tell me it wasn't a bit : (

there was a little teaser at the end that implied there'll be a sequel event, though we don't really know anything beyond that! I do think it's likely we'll get the other half of the cast in it, even if it's just wishful thinking on my part. 🤞🤞 NIGHTMARE SUITS FOR EVERYONE!!!!

as far as I know there's been no confirmation on whether it's going to be next year's Halloween event or a separate thing (the snow makes me think it'll be more Christmas-themed, or otherwise more related to the plot of the original movie) so. we're probably going to have to wait quite a while before we find out anything solid. :') they really do love just dropping these things on us and then watching us go absolutely wild with speculation while they watch like

Fadoula Fans, fear not!

Yasmina's love for running continues!

"Athleisure" clearly means she's out of the sport, but she's still staying fit. Still running, still lifting, still making her gains. Plenty of solid abs underneath that shirt. She knows what's good for her body, and it's push-ups, sit-ups, and plenty of juice.

So if it nears winter time before they find Jaskier, would Geralt take Milek to Kaer Morhen? Or does this timeline take dubious place after TW3 game, and ah, events have occurred?

[MASTERPOST] - (context for when Jaskier and Vesemir met) Milek already was at Kaer Morhen at one point! But. Ahhh. Events have occurred 😬

I love that scene in the archives when Kipps needles Lockwood about his family in The Screaming Staircase because the emotions are like:

Lockwood: tense, angry, upset but trying to control himself

Lucy: confused, concerned for Lockwood, frustrated

George:

The fans: Ugh Sonic was just so preachy. I mean obviously he's supposed to be the good guy, so any uncomfortableness I feel here and any way I feel like Sonic's choices are framed as being why some other people have shitty lives is just bad writing because he is obviously supposed to be right always, but this characterization makes no sense. Isn't he right for the things he did?

Ian Flynn, using Kitsunami to say the (barely even at this point) quiet part even louder: Hey it's almost like ever since the Mr. Tinker event we've been purposely running with the critique of Sonic as being more selfish than he appears. Sonic is upholding a system of Eggman v Sonic that currently benefits him and shuts down talk of how to improve the current system because he likes his own personal enjoyment and he's attached enough to Eggman that he'd rather Eggman pretend to be a good person than be stuck in prison for life. He doesn't even quite practice what he preaches. We are trying to show that the current hero v villain system and Sonic's recklessness currently affects some people poorly and that Sonic isn't a perfect hero.

Jimmy killing himself because he knows he is incapable of living an life without Curly and knows that in the miracle chance they were found and saved they would not let him have contact with Curly and he hates the idea he'd actually have to take responsibility.

Even if he lied, its only a matter of time before Curly is capable of showing or telling what a monster he really is, no matter what delusions tell Jimmy Curly would never do that to him.

He understands that he was the monster in everyone's worse moments but refused to accept that at the end. So he made sure that he died without the possibility of it being actualized as he's the only one that saw death as an escape rather than a release. Jimmy truly didn't believe Curly had anything to escape from even after everything and let him have what he perceived as glory as the sole survivor and thus Captain of the Tulpar.
