Happy holidays and Merry Christmas for those who celebrate!

My gift for you, silly analysis over the final scene of Sinsmas!!

As you'd expect, major spoilers under the break!!

"Why didn't they kiss?" "I thought they were going to kiss." "I wish we had the cliché Christmas kiss."

I've been hearing this a lot since the episode dropped, and normally I am all for my silly clichés and fun moments, but genuinely, I think the scene is a million tiem better because they didn't kiss.

The first reason is that we already got our heartfelt, genuine kiss earlier in the episode. I loved that, I thought it was so nice, this is also my weaker point.

Before we talk about the scene, let's talk about Blitzø and intimacy.

We've known for pretty much the whole series that Blitzø struggles with emotional intimacy. We also see how he often has little to no emotional connection with those he's intimate with. (See early season One Stolas, The imps at Bee's party, The sheer amount of exes he has)

The whole series, a large part of Blitzø's character, is his inability to be vulnerable, to be open, especially with Stolas. Even when we see the two of them in more intimate settings, we see how, emotionally, Blitzø isn't there. He has sex with Stolas, and that's about it for him. At least, on the surface.

There have been multiple occasions where we see Blitzø and Stolas doing things that could be seen as emotionally intimate (holding eachother, kissing, flirting) but even in those times, we can see that that level of connection is not there.

Even if they're passionate and intense, they're not taking the time to be there, in the moment, and share that with each other.

This is why I think that Blitzø choosing to hug Stolas was so important.

They had this moment of connection, relating to eachother, it got interupted, and instead of dropping, pretending like it didn't happen (like how S1 Blitzø would have done), he tells them to wait. He keeps himself open.

He chooses to take another moment to dance with Stolas, something that he could take further, be more intense, but he doesn't. He shares the moment, the being there, with Stolas. They banter back and forth until they finally reach a pause.

And there's this moment where they look in each other's eyes, a pause sets in as you think, "Will they do it? Are they going to kiss?"

But it doesn't happen.

Blitzø takes in this moment, and instead of choosing an action that could turn to something more, he hugs Stolas.

He simply holds him in his arms, giving him a level of comfort that Blitzø knew he needed.

He didn't complain when Stolas didn't hug back. He didn't pull away after just a moment. He stood there, holding Stolas in his arms, letting him see that, even without the sex, without the lewd banter, without every other moment, he's here for him.

And, maybe I see things differently as an Asexual person; but the intimacy of just holding someone in your arms with no further expectations of what else there is to come, I think, is a feeling that should be explored more.

But, what do you think, people of tumblr? Am I spouting bs and sound like and idiot, or do I have a point? Do you agree, disagree, or are you somewhere in between?

(Bonus, I've had busy past couple days, so if there's any spelling/grammar errors, give me grace!)

(Also also!! Opinions on Millie??? Because AAAA!!! I don't normally like pregnancy storylines, but this is actually hype actually??)

Y'all a published witchcraft author just followed my witchcraft sideblog?!?!?!?!

[interpol-anonymous]

For ages I've been looking for a big case to prove myself with but I've gotten way more than I bargained for. Our region's had the same guy as champion for longer than I've been alive. He even oversaw the construction of our new Pokémon league. The old one was halfway up a mountain at the other end of the region, with the champion's room overlooking a sheer cliff. That area was prone to storms, and right after he beat his rival there a really bad one hit. It sent his rival, and a good portion of the champion room off the cliff to their doom.

A week or so ago they found someone passed out in the ruins without too many memories aside from being from before the old league building collapsed. Everyone thought she was just a confused faller, including me.

For a few months I've been assigned to the champion as his point of contact for Interpol. Fairly boring routine stuff. We discuss goings on in the region, but a lot of our meetings are just friendly chat.

The other day I was waiting outside his office and I overheard him ranting to someone about how he "should've been able to do it with a Blizzard that strong" and how she'll beat him again and ruin everything if they let her get close.

Apparently he actually lost that battle. He got his Pokémon to attack her directly and destroy the building to hide the evidence. He's been covering it up ever since. Now she's apparently back he's been getting the wider league to ban her from getting a trainer card or challenging any gyms because "she's a faller".

I know I was looking for some excitement but this is too much. I got a recording of some of his rant but that's the only evidence I have. I'm sure he's going to work out I overheard it sooner or later. This is the first time I've had to deal with something this big and I'm so overwhelmed I have no idea what to do from here.
