if we go by the theory that some number of the people who come to fromville are reincarnations of the original townspeople who are destined to come back again and again until the children are saved (jade, tabitha) and others are basically unlucky bystanders in their current life who get trapped with them (jim) then let’s think about other characters. namely, i agree with the theory that abby was maybe someone who was reincarnated. it’s implied she dreamed of the town when she was a child, and what was her final act? she was about to kill her son, believing she was doing the right thing (an echo of the event that kicked all of this off, something that would have ensured everyone was doomed until the next cycle because no one is free until the children are saved) but she couldn’t. because boyd, someone outside of the cycle, stopped her.

i’m quite enamored with boyd as a character who fights desperately against fate. he is adamant about how he refuses to be broken by the town, and although he knows some things like his Parkinson’s are inevitable, others he feels compelled to change. but the thing is, if my theory holds, he never should have been there at all. he was a total rando who got sucked up into this cycle of death and reincarnation and horror but he started to make things different. he made a difference in people’s lives, and most significantly, he stopped the story from repeating itself. what if jade and tabitha need someone like him to truly end the cycle - someone who was never involved in the first place but tries so fucking hard now that he’s a genuine threat to whatever controls fromville? i mean, why else would this place try so hard to break him if he didn’t pose a danger to the evil there? sure, it’s a very petty evil, who likes a cheap shot, and he did directly challenge them. but i think boyd needs to find tabitha and jade asap because i really believe he might be the key they’ve been missing in each round

kind of happy this arcane piano guy, who was shown only briefly, made it to the end alive

and that while he was there as a background character only in episodes 2x8 & 2x9, he was supporting main characters like Vi & Loris

Eddie, [tired]: 'Why ask for permission when you can ask for forgiveness' does not apply to murder.

Frances: Awww! :(

Cletus: So... can we?

Eddie: NO!

Mrs. Chen: You let Venom eat a guy an hour ago.

Venom: That was lunchtime. It doesn't count!

If you've got something to say, just spit it out. Sorry. I should have visited you earlier.

KISEKI: DEAR TO ME Ep. 12

Thinking about the villains who left a lasting impression on both us and on the ninja is a journey.

Cause first you have Garmadon, the reason daddy issues exist.

Then you have Morro, the reason Wu is terrible at sharing secrets, and who also has his own issues of both an inferiority and superiority complex.

And then we have whatever went on with Harumi, the reason consequences should be considered. With her own, massive daddy issues. (Seriously, why would you ask THE Garmadon to be your dad)

Oh my GOD

One was Lloyd’s dad, one was Lloyd’s (technical??) cousin, and one was newly adopted sister (???) whose like those evil adopted step sisters in Gacha music videos. Man how did Wu and Lloyd survive in that family, and why’d Misako think they were a great family to marry into 😭

Absolutely obsessed with the idea of Jiang Cheng, in the wake of the Jiang Sect's massacre, just massively overdoing it with the defensive measures in Lotus Pier —

It was bad enough when they were first rebuilding, but in the nearly two decades that followed every single time Jiang Cheng had a nightmare about his family dying and/or Lotus Pier burning down, he would immediately get up and start working on the defensive arrays, or the evacuation plans, or so on...

People think of the Impure Realm as an impenetrable fortress, but after Lotus Pier burnt down and was rebuilt? No other sect could stand a chance against Jiang Cheng's obsessive paranoia.

Lotus Pier has everything from defensive arrays, to evacuation plans and saferooms, to secret codes and signals known only to the disciples, to hidden underground and underwater tunnels, to booby traps, barriers, poison gas, etc etc etc...

Never again will Lotus Pier be sieged…not if Jiang Cheng has anything to say about it.
