cordelia begins as this shallow, cruel person, but then as time goes on her capacity for compassion grows and grows, and she eventually becomes one of the most heroic & selfless characters in the buffyverse. in "To Shanshu in LA" her mind gets opened to all the feelings of all the people in the world and her response is, "There's so much pain. We have to help them."

willow starts as a softspoken and generally kind person who has a little bit of a mean streak. and as she becomes more self-assured, that mean streak widens to the point where she's telling people to shut up, and she's manipulating them to her will because she thinks she knows better, and she's threatening the people who care about her. she becomes a megalomaniac and a murderer, and in "Grave" her mind gets opened to all the feelings of all the people in the world and her response is to try and destroy it.

Mumbo giving himself the challenge of how many random blocks he can add to Iskall's base all while talking to him

I didn't watch Mumbo in s9, was he always like this or did Secret Life permanently alter his brain chemistry? Bc this sounds like an extremely Secret Life Task thing to do

welp. more than a year after i started, i finished reading all of the outlander series - main books, the lord john series, all of it. partway through the fiery cross, i started keeping a list of the whump and corresponding chapters for the series. that does leave me 4.5 books' worth of whump to rifle through (AKA thousands of pages lol), since i didn't log those, but i'm working on translating it all into a tumblr post, including links to GIFs of corresponding scenes in the show. feel free to let me know if i miss anything and which characters to include (so far, it's jamie, roger, young ian, lord john, william, & hal).

People keep insisting that Solas ‘killed Flemeth/Mythal’ in that last scene but I don’t know if that’s actually true? I feel like what happened in that scene was more ambiguous than that.

We don’t actually know how involved Flemeth/Mythal is with his plans, only that she’s deffinetely in on it. We know the because Flemeth herself insists that she intends to avenge Mythal in ‘a reckoning that will shake the very heavens.’ Idk about you but to me that implies very violent intentions.

It contrasts directly with what Solas intends. He wants to restore the world to its natural state for the sake of his people. Whereas Flemeth simply wants to punish. She wants to punish The Evanuris. And there’s some dialogue between her and Morrigan which implies that she wants to punish Solas as well, she just needs him to complete his task first.

Flemeth is basically unkillable. She knows that, and there’s every possibility that Solas knows that, too. The way I read that scene, I think this may have always been the plan. At the very least it was a contingency, one the two of them were both aware of, and which Solas clearly wanted to avoid. I think the reason he was so upset when The Orb was destroyed may have been because he knew he’d have resort to that contingency.

Flemeth isn’t stupid. And she’s not particularly selfless either. In fact she is explicitly very selfish, as well as being a manipulator. Whatever went on in that scene—I have my theories—Flemeth was well aware it was coming. She was counting on it. It somehow benefits her that this took place, otherwise she’d have never allowed it.

Before it happens, she says, “I’m sorry, too.”

What is she sorry for? We don’t really know, but my interpretation is that she’s apologizing for what’s about to happen. This was her plan. Solas didn’t want to do things this way, but the events of DAI have forced his hand.

One of Solas’ greatest flaws is his assumption that he has more control over any given situation than he actually does, and I think that applies to his relationship with Flemeth/Mythal as well. Again, Flemeth is a manipulator. She’s been manipulating the people and events of Thedas for centuries, maybe longer. I think Solas is no different. When I look at that end credit scene I don’t see two equals. I see one person who clearly has the upper hand, and another with a deeply mistaken idea of what their relationship actually is.

I agree, although for a long time I definitely thought he 100% killed her, but she has a way of surviving and is just... too big to have just been quickly killed in a brief epilogue?

oooh I didn't know about/catch that dialogue! that's so interesting... changes the dynamic a lot if she actually wants him to fail on some level. running with that, one might even go so far as to assume she aided corypheus' surviving opening the orb. letting him wreak brutal havoc across thedas and tear open the veil (vs. solas' pulling it down) is a good way to 'shake the very heavens'.

yeah, her apologizing doesn't really fit as a response to letting solas kill her, but apologizing for what she's about to put him through? the chain of events she may well have incited somehow? that seems more apt. and I do believe she cares for solas to some degree, but not enough to not use him for her own ends. as you said, she's a master manipulator, that's a core part of her character. she's not going to drop all that just because a sad wolf comes to her door.

and I love your point about solas' assumptions of knowledge and control, because that's so accurate. he always assumes he has the power in a relationship because of his knowledge, his age, his experience... he thinks he knows more, understands more, and sees more, and he trusts his interpretations of events, but even within dai we see him have to face that those interpretations are flawed a number of times. he didn't expect the inquisitor to care about spirits - understandable, considering the general opinion of them, but still an assumption. the whole balcony scene, whether or not you romance him, is about confronting his assumptions not only about the inquisitor, but their entire species - and by extension, all people. the banter between him and the companions, particularly the man on the island banter with varric... there's so many times he's forced to confront his assumptions, but he continues to subconsciously hold that he still knows more, that his initial interpretations are right unless/until they're plainly proven wrong

he's so interesting i love him so much... and ty for this! such a thought-provoking ask, i love talking about him <3

they’re really coming for him rn 😭

Where the Wild Things Are has to be thee most insane episode premise. "the house is horny so if you touch the walls you jizz your pants" is just. certainly a concept. and then Buffy accidentally activates The Sex Room and does literally nothing except fuck her boyfriend all episode, so the other Scoobies have to solve it. and the house is also homophobic. what the fuck was up with that

I love that DE went "hm, what's the most 90s thing you can think of" and they went with boybands, motorbikes, and a dozen Gordon Freemen

Many many things up to change later on, but for now I'm happy to have the basics laid out and functioning

Mainly features (the beginnings of) OC Stuff and a little recipe book, but we'll see what else gets added over time as i stretch out and get comfortable
