i think we all moved on from orym being dorian's first love too quickly and how bc dorian has been so sheltered his entire life he didn't even know what lust or love felt like until he met orym and how him not knowing those feelings was one of the reasons dorian was so hesitant to express them. i think a lot of people, me included, were really wondering why he was so hesitant to express his feelings towards orym and thinking that it was simply about it not being the right time or wanting to give orym space to mourn his husband and while i'm sure that all played a factor in it, i don't think anyone really thought that part of why it took so long was bc dorian was falling in love for the first time and was overwhelmed and unfamiliar with what he was feeling

Dukat becomes worse the more pitiful he is. Winn becomes more pitiful the worse she gets.

Dukat has these moments where you could almost feel sorry for him, but he just doubles down on how horrible he is in a way that makes you forget that moment of pity because he genuinely and sincerely does not think he’s done anything wrong, ever.

Winn has moments where she seems to be weilding her cruelty like armor, but then has a moment of vulnerability and doubt that make you realise you can’t quite hate her, you just feel sorry for her instead, because some part of her seems to know she’s going down a bad path but she is so terrified she can’t make herself turn back.

Their character arcs look similar on a surface level but are very, very different trajectories.

They got Ezra SO RIGHT

I was scared that he wouldn’t feel like Ezra. But Eman was able to get his boyish charm perfectly!!

Imo the most impressive thing Leo’s done is hold this pose for as long as he did while covered head to toe in gold paint:

Listen to me. LISTEN TO ME.

Cheng Xiaoshi and Qiao Ling are so important to Lu Guang. The first episode of the Bridon Arc basically showed us that all of them are naturally kind, naturally helpful, naturally just....heroic. And the two of them died and one was left to go back in time to pick up the pieces and save them all. So Lu Guang was left more reserved. But the people he loves are SO heroic, so kind....and he just can't let them do it by themselves and neither does he want to force them to stop being the people he loves. So he helps them. He will tell Cheng Xiaoshi and probably Qiao Ling eventually about his powers. And he'll help people because the people he loves want to help people and, deep down, he cares about others as well but - more significantly to the narrative - he cares about these two.

The manga artist talking about how she realized the path she took wasn't the easiest, implying that there were other easier paths to take to see the stars. Lu Guang telling us that kindness isn't the problem but people who take advantage of it. He will keep taking the difficult path of turning back time, trusting his friends, and letting them lead him and themselves into dangerous situations out of the goodness of their hearts....that's the hardest path, but he'll let them drag him into it because it's who he loves. Because there is no guarantee what will happen, but he will try and try to make it happen in their way.

El being *12 hours earlier* than the Cali timeline when she arrives at Nina. Will saying ‘it’s been 9 hrs’ in the scene following his monologue in the van.

We know that at some point their timelines merged when they arrived to save her…

But we don’t know when exactly those alignments took place when they were still apart… which just makes you wonder…

I know it's like the silliest thing since Brandon is juggling SO much but Gavinor is said to be three by his father in Oathbringer (ch74) and then in RoW (described as a year later) he's five. I logic it out that his birthday is maybe pretty early in the year?? I guess? Because in 122 of Oathbringer Kaladin describes him as a boy of three or four. Which means the poor kid had his birthday while fleeing Kholinar, and then right after his next birthday he went to war with grandpa, barely missed a siege, and then got pulled into the spirit realm.

Side note- do we have a Stormlight timeline? I've seen some screen-grabs floating around but no big doc yet.

Did a twitter meme when I realised that I can actually do this properly with Jirou, since I have a nice little plushie of him (made by the ever wonderful @pyllymursu <3)

I do wonder, with Hodgson, whether he was perhaps more affected by lead and scurvy than previously thought, and affected sooner.

I'm skimming the E07 script - because clearly I have nothing better to do on a Saturday night - and there are several tiny details that suddenly jump out at me.

During the confrontation prior to Morfin's death, for example, and after the line "My head. Cut if off. Put it with the others..." it is Hodgson who is singled out and mentioned specifically as noting the oddness of Morfin's comment and actively being spooked by it.

Then, of course, Hodgson leads the burial party where it's unclear whether he actually takes part in the physical work - we only really see him standing eerily still in the background and then staring contemplatively down when the job is done.

And afterwards, there's slightly more in the script compared to what we eventually see on screen. Hodgson walks through the camp, appearing much more explicitly upset by the events preceding and actively trying to settle his thoughts. He literally sits with his head in his hands when Hickey finally does approach him.

With all that in mind, it would make sense to me if Hodgson were already suffering the ill-effects of the lead and/or scurvy, if he took one look at Morfin's sorry situation and came to the terrifying conclusion that the same thing would soon be happening to him.

And if Hodgson were thinking more along those lines, then it also makes even more sense why he would be swayed so quickly and effectively by Hickey providing such an immediate solution to the issue, right there right then, literally in the flesh.
