Kabru is always my favorite tho bc I fucking love characters who are both ruthless and genuinely kind. Who have noble goals and strong ideals and will make compromises in order to reach them, especially when they aren't punished for it by the narrative. Kabru will straight up commit vigilante murder because he's done the math and judged it to be the action with the most harm reduction, and he's good at math.

Kabru is the only person in the series both on-scene and thinking about the larger implications of the actions being taken, and I love him for it.

I’ve mentioned this elsewhere but it feels relevant again in light of the most recent episode. Something that’s really fascinating to me about Orym’s grief in comparison to the rest of the hells’ grief is that his is the youngest/most fresh and because of that tends to be the most volatile when it is triggered (aside from FCG, who was two and obviously The Most volatile when triggered.)

As in: prior to the attack on Zephrah, Orym was leading a normal, happy, casual life! with family who loved him and still do! Grief was something that was inflicted upon him via Ludinus’ machinations, whereas with characters like Imogen or Ashton, grief has been the background tapestry of their entire lives. And I think that shows in how the rest of them are largely able to, if not see past completely (Imogen/Laudna/Chetney) then at least temper/direct their vitriol or grief (Ashton/Fearne/Chetney again) to where it is most effective. (There is a glaring reason, for example, that Imogen scolded Orym for the way he reacted to Liliana and not Ashton. Because Ashton’s anger was directed in a way that was ultimately protective of Imogen—most effective—and Orym’s was founded solely in his personal grief.)

He wants Imogen to have her mom and he wants Lilliana to be salvageable for Imogen because he loves Imogen. But his love for the people in his present actively and consistently tend to conflict with the love he has for the people in his past. They are in a constant battle and Orym—he cannot fathom losing either of them.

(Or, to that point, recognize that allowing empathy to take root in him for the enemy isn't losing one of them.)

It is deeply poignant, then, that Orym’s grief is symbolized by both a sword and shield. It is something he wields as a blade when he feels his philosophy being threatened by certain conversational threads (as he believes it is one of the only things he has left of Will and Derrig, and is therefore desperately clinging onto with both bloody hands even if it makes him, occasionally, a hypocrite), but also something he can use in defense of the people he presently loves—if that provocative, blade-grief side of him does not push them—or himself—away first.

(it won’t—he is as loved by the hells as he loves them. he just needs to—as laudna so beautifully said—say and hear it more often.)

HHFHGHHH caught up with the Dungeon Meshi anime…can’t even describe how absolutely fucked up it was to watch Laios have to reassemble the digested bones of his dead sister (that were drenched in her blood) piece by piece. Like. Idk how homie didn’t go through a mental breakdown in the middle of that

[bread-wizards]

Love Laudna wanting Orym to be the one to cut her down if need be because she feels he can make hard choices, and Travis like "uh hello? What about Chetney? You want to put Orym through that anguish? I am right here" like damn, he right tho

Dual Destinies spoilers, read at your own risk

Realistically I know that hindsight should make Bobby Fulbright's early-case appearances sadder or more sinister, but whenever I go back and watch those scenes it's so much funnier knowing that this overenthusiastic goober is a trained spy living under the looming threat of imprisonment or assassination if they don't fully commit to the bit.

Do we mourn the loss of OG Bobby? Yes, always. But seeing the Phantom put their whole (debatably unfeeling) chest into becoming a himbo is peak comedy to me. Life-or-death performance of their career, and the role is an overly earnest, easily distracted goofball who literally goes 👉👈 when people are mean to him.

They're onstage, under the spotlights, dancing for their survival, and the guy they're impersonating isn't even cool. Even if he is more of a person than they've ever had the chance to be, before.

It's even funnier in light of the fact that, for all the gravitas and imposing threat Blackquill ascribes to them, the Phantom is honestly kind of a mess in their own right, at least from HAT-1 onward? They have been trying for seven years to get rid of the evidence that they were stabbed in the hand by an eleven-year-old and that they have a flat affect in phone calls, and they've killed multiple people and blown up multiple buildings about it, and they just keep making more problems for themself. They are a failwife cosplaying a malewife while they desperately try to manipulate-mansplain-manslaughter their way out of impending death. 10/10, no notes.
