Oh No I Noticed Something:

I saw this post by @nisabaismymistress-blog of the GO s2 reading list/Jimbriel's shelving work (thank you for putting this all in one place!) and then I read This:

Gabriel Garcia Marquez: Love in the Time of Cholera: It was inevitable: the scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love.”

And lads? The coffee is a thing just maybe not in the conspiracy way. I mean holy cow if this reference isn't exactly on the nose. But the best worst part? After that kiss they can both taste it.

Ok! Thanks to Zuppi for easing my very on-edge nerves and reassuring me! I'm very delicate lol.

TDP 6x08 episode title speculation below the cut, because it's long and got away from me. You don't have to have read it to understand this, but I had some speculation here about 6x07 that would tie into my thoughts about this episode.

<3

Given that the prev episode's title is "The Red Wedding," and a lot of us are speculating it'll be about Janaya's wedding (Sunfire, something to keep in mind), and it cuts off right before the "we all fall down," leaving "ashes" the last word said, "Ashes" will likely be the title of 6x08, presumably about the aftermath of the wedding.

Additionally, given the wilted flower, and we know that Dark Magic has that exact effect of draining life, it will also contain some flashbacks to Claudia's childhood other than what we've seen in Puzzle House. "Ring Around the Rosie" is a song typically sung by kids, hence leading to that train of thought. The rose appears to be a dark red. While red roses represent love and admiration, a burgundy shade it could also be seen as symbolizing devotion. If it's red, given that it's dead, it might be Claudia losing her love for, or even killing someone she previously cared about (if it's Terry or Soren, so help me...). I'd say dead devotion means she finally stops trying to help Viren, but... nah. Too easy. But I would love to see what happens if or when she moves on from Viren, what happens to her intelligence and drive when she's lost the outlet that lasted for years. Would she get better? Get worse? Become a hermit in the woods with Terry? Spin-off, please and thank you.

BUT. "Ring Around the Rosie" is a song about the Bubonic Plague. Based on that, a lot of people (around the amount who died in "The Red Wedding," I'm guessing) will likely die. I'm personally neutral on the idea of a plague sweeping the continent (and getting COVID flashbacks lol), but any reasoning arguing for it is perfectly justified, given how many characters (Claudia, Karim + Miyana + Pharos, Callum...) are screwing around and finding out. If so, I for some reason have a feeling Sol Regem will be involved (don't ask me to explain, it's just a Feeling with no grounds, so feel free to completely ignore that bit).

To conclude: I think the title will be "Ashes," and it will be about the aftermath of 6x07, Claudia-centric, and contain lots of death and/or destruction. Also cremation somewhere in there because ofc.

(These are just my opinions like 10 minutes after finally sitting my butt down, getting myself together, and watching it. I don't work for or on the show, I'm not psychic, and I don't have an English degree. I will, however, get attached to these hc's and then be proven so wrong lol)

Harvey spent a good deal of his life trying to delude himself into thinking that none of the abuse he suffered actually happened, or that he was confused.

He told people his father was warm, funny, loving, stern, but fair. He loved his dad. Dad loved him. Things were fine.

... Now he's at least a little more honest with himself.

I think the biggest downside to having animal ears and a tail would be trying to mask your discomfort in public like imagine trying to play it cool in customer service but your tail keeps bristling

@witchysolfan

before you ship something stop and ask yourself... Is this otp material? Make sure your characters are:

Obstinate and inflexible in their actions

Terrible for each other in most circumstances

Poor communicators
