"| saw you die" "Never-mind that now"

Bendy stood up with ease and immediately started looking around the room, leaving Boris sitting there speechless.

'Never-mind that now'? 'NEVER-MIND THAT NOW'? He just watched him die! He watched his brother melt into an ink puddle and slowly mold back right in front of him! And he says 'never-mind that now'!?

Boris watched his brother start to drag the shelf to the side revealing a small vent, "Perfect" Bendy said to himself and looked back at him "Let's go"

Boris didn't move.

"Boris?" Bendy looked at him worry clear on his face. "I saw you die" Bendy looked a bit puzzled as to why he was repeating himself. | held you as you died."

It clicked to Bendy how hurtful that must have been to Boris but he didn't notice, "I-I thought you were gone! I thought after everything I lost you when we were so close to having the cure! I-I-I! I just lost you! And you brushed me off! You died! You diedyoudiedyoudiedyoudied-"

Suddenly Boris felt the familiar feeling of his brother's arms around him.

"I'm sorry" Bendy said into his neck. "Baby I am so so sorry" he continued hugging him even tighter. "I know that must have scared you badly but we can't do this right now. We have to leave and at least be far enough away from her to even start this conversation"

Boris wanted to argue but he heard footsteps and ‘Alice's' humming so he just nodded and immediately followed Bendy to the vent. Bendy dragged the shelf back with his shadows to cover it just in time for 'Alice' to open the door, soon both heard her screech in anger as she realized both were gone.

The vent was pretty long but neither said anything while crawling through it, once they did get out Bendy immediately pointed to the stairs saying that there had to be a way down, not using the elevator. Boris didn't really understand why they wouldn't just use it since it'd get them there faster but he didn't argue and followed his brother.

They ended up having to crawl through another vent to get down to the last level.

After all that Bendy immediately hugged him again.

"Oh my brave strong boy, I'm so proud of you" Suddenly all the dread, fear and despair from watching his brother die in his arms came back and Boris weeped like little the kid he was.

"I'm so sorry for worrying you like that, and I'm sorry that I hurt you. I'm so glad you're safe." He could feel Bendy's tears seeping into his shirt as he hugged him tighter, not letting his brother be taken away from him again.

"I-I th-though- I thought" Bendy gently petted his head and ears "Shhh, shhh. It's okay.We're both okay. Everything will be alright" his brother's comforting words calmed him down slowly as he cried loudly into his shoulder.

Boris didn't know how long they stayed like that, but it was long enough for his body to rid itself of all the tears.

Bendy pulled away from him so he could hold his face.

"You are my first and greatest joy in life, you are the reason why I powered through this illness for as long as I did. You're my baby, please don't ever forget that"

Boris was sure that if he had more tears to cry they would've come down like a waterfall and not stop until he passed out.

"Where my happy widdle wolfy?" Bendy smiled gently at him making Boris snort.

"Here I am"

Maybe the problem with Christian fiction is that it's non-denominational. People are just "Christian", with no effort put into showing what practicing that religion looks like for them specifically. No indication that there are other Christians who could have different beliefs. No wrestling with differing ideas and the struggle of how one should live out their Christian faith. And that makes it unrealistic and unrelatable.

I'd like to discuss the elephant in the room. Why did we get zero Loumand sex scenes? We got hints and implications, but season 1 was pretty explicit. Do we think that that's a creative choice or something else is happening?

I'm glad I ended up ruminating on this for about a week because episode 7 & 8 really solidified my opinion on it.

I do wanna start by saying that it's very clear to me that there was supposed to be more explicit scenes between them. There has been some thoughts tossed around that censorship happened with the 9 pm timeslot (as opposed to the 10 pm timeslot of S1). I believed this hearing Assad and Jacob talk about the BDSM dynamic between Louis and Armand, but what really sold me on this was Production Designer Mara LePere-Schloop talking about the bedroom set and more specifically about their beautifully carved custom headboard. (If you're a production nerd like me or just want to know more about the design philosophy of IWTV I recommend giving the entire thing a listen!).

I think there are several reasons I think as to why they decided to leave any more explicit scenes on the cutting room floor but above them all is: you cannot separate Armand's sexuality from his abuse. I am really against pulling a "well if you read the books" card but reading just the first couple chapters of "The Vampire Armand" makes me understand so much about not only Armand as a character, but the care being taken to his adaptation. It's clear to me that alongside Rolin & Co.'s commitment to not watering him down to a one-dimensional villain they are also trying to not fall into Anne Rice's tendency to romanticize his trauma.

Sex and sexuality is not the same pillar of Louis and Armand's relationship it was in Louis and Lestat's and so I don't believe their story suffers from the lack of on-screen sex. But I also firmly believe that maybe we don't need to be slutting out the character who we literally just watched talk about how he doesn't remember his life before being sex trafficked. And even when he was "freed" he was still being repeatedly assaulted at the hands of, and under the eye Marius de Romanus. Like it is extremely important to remember that Armand's craving for dominion in his relationships is a manifestation of trauma that deserves the same level of care and depth given to every other trauma portrayed in this show.

I think people have gotten too comfortable calling IWTV a romance when it has always been Gothic Horror. Romance and sex are pivotal to the story but I have found the demands for sex scenes this season a bit absurd and also? unfounded? Loustat share more kisses on screen but there are two sex scenes and both are very plot relevant. I truly figured we were all in agreement that the eroticism of this show is found in the various displays of power, and the dynamics it creates and not the actual clapping of ass-cheeks...which also wasn't happening in S1 either. S2 does not suffer because of the lack of sex-scenes, but the likelihood if it suffering trying to make one work is

i cannot stress enough that even if you intend to do sports with your dog, even if you intend to work your dog you should get a type of dog you can enjoy living with WITHOUT sports and/or work. Dogs cannot do sports/work forever. Sometimes they need a break from sports/work due to injury. That is just a reality and you are going to have to live with that sportless/workless dog (even if temporary).

Madoka is the promise you won't turn from a child, full of hopes and dreams and the wish to save the world, into a bitter adult who just wants to hurt others and ruin people's lives

Madoka promised to be there for you to remind you of the person you wanted to be and to stop you from becoming what you sought to destroy

Madoka made that promise and became the very embodiment of it

It’s so cool watching newcomers joining the Cherik pit although many of them seem worried to ship these two. And while I think it’s sad that shipping culture has become like this (making ppl concerned whether a ship is right or not while forgetting the main reason ppl ship them because it’s fun, they looks good together, shipping brings join, etc), I find it extremely funny that no matter how many years pass, Charles and Erik’s behavior will NEVER be seen as straight.
