i don’t even know what i was expecting when hemlock took emerie to the vault. the first time when he took nala se in the beginning of the season, i imagined a dark room full of red lighting and cylinders full of grown specimen, mainly adults. but nothing prepared me for a brightly lit room with kids taken against their will. i don’t think it prepared emerie either.

[moonscape]

op turned off rbs but is this about that dark past fangame that everyone is now lauding as basically pre-canon explorers despite it literally being just a fangame that also happens to be extremely racist with some of its messages

[peculiar-astronaut]

THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE SAID FOR FREEDOM

AKA Analysis of Crosshair in The Tipping Point

This may sound like a strange claim to be making about Crosshair in S2 E14. (SPOILERS BELOW IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THIS EPISODE YET).

Crosshair is imprisoned this entire episode. Tied down. Tortured. Unable to move. And yet I was almost speechless at how he is rendered, in both his facial expressions and his choices. As strange as it sounds to say, I think Crosshair is at peace in this episode. This man is finally, fully HIMSELF. It’s HIM. This is the REAL Crosshair, like we’ve never seen him before.

His face (and his eyes) are so OPEN. I don’t know how else to describe it. Prior to this, Crosshair had a variety of colorful facial expressions that he usually kept on him, ranging from sarcastic sneers, brows pulling together in worry, feigned disinterest, and downright rage. (I will be making a separate post on the expansive range of Crosshair’s expressions and how I think they signify what his real emotions are). 

But here, we start with Crosshair in a prison cell, being roughly taken out of his confinement to another location. Normally I would expect Crosshair to have a very sour, disdainful look on his face as these TK troopers cuff him and haul him out. But he doesn’t. Yes there’s a bit of a raised eyebrow still, but his face is just calm. Open. Serious but not fraught with tension. (Also, shameless side note: this man looks so good in blue/gray/not black colors. They make him seem softer and more open, as well).

Not only that, but he gazes around him, eyes moving side to side, paying attention to the other prison cells (maybe even looking to see if there was someone he knew also being held there?), even getting himself in trouble for taking an interest in those around him. Crosshair, who has always held himself separate and apart, has always pretended to look away even when he was listening. He is present, even in the midst of a horrible situation. 

I was reminded of the end shot in The Solitary Clone, and the parallels of him walking freely down the hallway as an imperial there, and a prisoner here. But in the first one he’s actually a prisoner inside himself, while in the second, he might be held captive on the outside, but he’s free on the inside. 

Even to Emerie and Hemlock, Crosshair remains surprisingly mild and level in his responses. May I remind you what this man’s face has looked like earlier in his story when dealing with people in power over him - and when being tasked to give up his family.

But instead he simply gazes at them calmly–suspicious, but clear-headed. He is in possession of his self esteem and purpose once again, and he doesn’t need to put on a front of superiority or fury in order to face the gaze of others. 

And he knows immediately what the doctor wants. He obviously has no intention of giving up his brothers. His face and tone remain even, controlled. He still says “the kid” to Hemlock’s face, but there is no animosity in using those words. And we will see how that was no longer Crosshair’s real opinion of Omega.

On the flipside of this calmness, we have very rarely seen Crosshair fall apart from pain or fear in front of others. But this torture from Hemlock is excruciating, and as a result of Crosshair’s emotions being closer to the surface, his sensitivity to pain and fear and anguish are on full display as well. 

He manages to escape the current torture, but his goal isn’t to save himself. In maybe the most important scene of this episode, Crosshair risks his life to warn and try to save his family, his brothers, his sister, with no regard for the consequences to himself. And yes, we almost got to hear him say “Omega” for the first time. Do we need any more proof that he cares? Crosshair is finally, truly, making the right decisions for the right reasons and he knows it. And that loyalty is going to help him bear whatever he has to bear to keep his family safe. 

He is in so much pain and I hate it 😭

“Why suffer more?” Hemlock asks him. He is defiant, yes. But his “severe and unyielding nature,” his stubbornness and loyalty, his need to be accepted for who he is, are finally being put to the right purpose.

(Also, you cannot tell me this wasn't foreshadowing from The Solitary Clone.)

This is a man who loves and cares DEEPLY, who loves his family even after having had all trust severed on both sides, who would do anything to protect them, even if it means risking his own sanity and self. This man is at peace with his own actions - FINALLY. This is him. And that means so much to me.

I apologize now for the pain, but I am going to end by connecting this to a quote from Andor. Maarva’s last message to Cassian broke my heart and rebuilt it from the inside when I first heard it, and I realized that it could fully apply to Crosshair as well:

"Tell him, he knows everything he needs to know and feels everything he needs to feel. And when the day comes, and those two pull together, he will be an unstoppable force for good. Tell him... I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong."

You know what I find really, *really* gross?

How Gwyn is still in her twenties.

Like listen I can make excuses for the Archeron sister's age gaps with their respective love interests, because they were formerly human and humans don't live that long. And Fae are said to take longer to grow up because they are immortal.

But Gwyn and Emerie (we don't know Emerie's age but she is always described as *young* so there's that) aren't former humans. They are immortal Fae. And their (rumoured) love interests are still five centuries older than them??

Its gross, and really just seems like these, honestly disgusting age gaps, are just a fetish.

This is in no way meant to diss any of these ships. (I ship emorie) But still, its odd and I hate it.

Lemme guess Crosshair, you were just “following orders” and happened to FAIL at following those orders? No, no sir, omega gave you an order- THAT WAS NOT THE TIME TO NOT FOLLOW ORDERS

Mainoo takes 3rd in the Ballon d'Or Kopa Trophy

Manchester United's breakthrough midfielder Kobbie Mainoo placed third in the Ballon D'Or Kopa Trophy for U21s, behind wonderkids Lamine Yamal and Arda Guler, but ahead of Manchester City's Savinho. Ahh.

It's also worth pointing out that Mainoo dominated Rodri in the FA Cup Final - you know, the guy who won the main Ballon D'Or? Huh, anyway.

No Mainoo at the actual event, because United were too tight re: flights to get to the event and City said no, but Alejandro Garnacho and his partner Eva García were present. I should also point out that Balenciaga did Garna's tux and yes, it is meant to look a bit oversized and blocky. Apparently that's fashion.

Garnacho finished joint-sixth with Paris Saint-Germain's Portuguese midfielder Joao Neves, whilst eighth was a tie between Warren Zaire-Emery, Mathys Tel and Karim Konate.
