i genuinely enjoy the amount of respect and love and care the circle has for cosmo. i can't possibly know if it will ever backfire given the circumstances they are in but that's not even what's so important right now. what will happen is what will happen but the beginning, the starting point that is actually a starting point only for us. for them? it's one of many that dotted the path of their relationship, their connection to cosmo.

i suppose it is so nice to see because there is an image of an old, obnoxious, know-it-all figures in media that are presented from the perspective — having knowledge is a grant of respect. but cosmo, at least from what we hear others speak of him, is not that. he is an old man that his grandson relative? father? wants to protect because that's how it should be and not the other way around. he is an old friend to madam glask, and he is the closest and hence the dearest, which means she will step over her fear and lost trust of elsie and follow their mission through. he is an associate, a roommate that elsie trusts to keep her safe and keep others safe from her. he is a professor that has earned his respect from rajan.

and he sees them as his children, he cares for them as he would care for his own and yet, not in a belittling way. they are like children to him but they are not children. they are grown and established in life adults that achieved their status in society and that cosmo respects, while caring for them like he would for his children. and it's almost as if they care and love him the same way in response. his human being does not consists only of work and his studies and they can love him like children would love their elderly parent. and they do.

and surely, we don't know what had happened in cosmo's past 'till it'd be revealed or what will happen in the future 'till it will happen next episode. but i just enjoy how likable cosmo is while being a knowledgeable and important part of the candela and the circle. i like how it's easy for the circle to like him and stick with him even when the circle bends.

and you know, that is the epitome of an actual respect, to have such an influence on people.

I have to say, having an unmistakable monster-fucker moment while your ex-something turns their transformation on the enemy ("I have never seen anything so beautiful, and I certainly won't leave her alone, and I have never seen Maw looking like she was on the back foot.) followed by an emotionally charged magic chant that builds into raw screaming at the climax is extremely effective in endearing me to the characters involved.

Dr. Elsie Roberts and Rajan Savarimuthu might be my favorite Tide & Bone members at the end of this episode.

[vexing-imogen]

forget another level, Raj and Elsie are taking monsterfucking to another goddamn dimension

Dr. Elsie Roberts: -heals Oscar's body mark-

Oscar Grimm: Oh, don't waste that on me.

Rajan Savarimuthu: Agreed.

[utilitycaster]

Honestly I'm excited for Circle of the Crimson Mirror because based on looks alone everyone has a high potential to have either the personality of Dr. Rajan Savarimuthu or the personality of Dr. Howard Margrove

Dr. Elsie’s epilogue

I was just tears for the last hour of the episode

Poor Gina didn’t know living was an option 😂

[raniamich]

CANDELA OBSCURA FINALE PREDICTIONS, EXCEPT I'VE LOST MOST IF NOT ALL HOPE

Cosmo Grimm : Dies. I'm almost certain. I want him to live and be a happy little old fellow but, I strongly doubt it.

Dr Elsie Roberts : Dies. I do not think our good doctor is escaping this. Now I did read a theory that the beast is what keeping her alive and grew super fond of it, therefore, I think she either gets separated from the beast and ends up dying or eventually turns, most likely hurts or even kills someone on the party and ends up killed herself.

Rajan Savarimuthu : I'm 50-50 because he's my favorite and I am probably delulu, as they say. For Raj, my mind is making up a lot of things, especially after that very slick We from Nosh in episode 2. Not to mention the welcome home. I believe Raj is either killed by Elsie or dies as a heroic / dramatic sacrifice. Though he is most likely dying, I want to have hope on two alternatives. Alternative one, he makes it out alive but is overtaken by the hive or alternative two he makes it out and his villain arc begins. I know it's probably not happening but I'm still manifesting alternative 3 that is Rajan Savarimuthu happy ending.

Oscar Grimm : I'm also very 50-50 when it comes to our favorite immortal father. He either cures himself and finally dies, which is probably a happy ending for him or survives despite everything and most likely ends up in jail with survivor's guilt. Like stated above, I hope there's an alternative 3 where him and Rajan get to be happy but, I doubt it.

Cordelia Glask : I'm kinda hopeful but at the same time I'm not, if that makes sense. I want to imagine she's the only one that has the most chances of getting out alive but there's this what if scenario in my head. What if everything goes sideways and she's killed during the assignment? OR what if something happens to Mina and she ends up giving her life to protect her?

And that's all folks! As you can see, I'm not super hopeful but this is candela after all! I'll come back to this in two days to see how accurate my predictions were 😭 Lemme know what you think!
