As much as I love fleshing out Thranduil's character and family history and I enjoy worldbuilding for Eryn Galen and the Silvan Elves, it's also often a disheartening past time because.

Upon observation of the fandom, you often get that sense that most Thranduil lovers just want writers to quit yapping about pesky details and give them the one-shot Reader Insert smut.

I think when you want to talk about silco's emotionally abusive parenting then you HAVE to acknowledge that he genuinely cares about jinx and lack of love and care isn't why he fails her, he fails her specifically because he loves her for her AND as an extension of himself. and he is ALSO abnormal, if jinx straight up went 'hey father figure I'm seeing demons and my deceased family members whisper abuse into my ears all hours of night and day' he would be like oh yes that's the shadow demon ralph who attaches to our family and conjures up images of our past regrets, my father saw one too before he threw himself off the bridge. like of course he failed her as a parent, he's delulu in a way that he thinks they are both doing fine

Real for this

I just want to say that... TSAMS has given us some trauma we can never heal from, they let us get good and attached to a character for a YEAR and then ripped Solar away.

Im always going to remember him as the one who actually made me cry (no thanks to Kat and her amazing work at Earth crying, broke me honestly. Especially the "i was going to ask him to be my brother instead of cousin" thing, and Lunar asking if he was having another nightmare?? Im never healing from this.

Some parts of me want to know what BloodMoon's reaction will be to Solars' death, because if i remember properly... Solar is the only person who never betrayed them, woukd they did not care? Would they be slightly upset?

And Jack! Jack has no idea what to even do with himself, freshly given free will the day his creator died. Does he understand the extent of this? Probably, but lets be mentally ill here and say Jack just... doesnt know what to do, lost without his creator. What if *he* snaps and attacks Ruin?

So many possibilities

Bela realising she's bi and coming out to her immigrant mom in like two days by holding hands with a girl and her being completely fine with it is...not a brown experience.

Idc what people say, that shit doesn't happen. I get it's a comedy and they already had Leighton's coming out arc but this Bela storyline could have had legs to speak on the homophobia in desi culture.

it is not controversial to say that if you cannot finacially, emotionally provide for a child and/or your genetics would lead to them suffering then you should not have said child.

Cant stop fucking thinking about Jean when Neil was spending christmas at evermore. Do you think for a fleeting moment he felt hope that Neil came to evermore and thought that his promised forever partner was finally coming to stand by his side in the face of Riko's cruelty? To have someone share the burden with him?

Do you think he felt SICK with guilt at thinking this of Neil? Do you think he forced himself to push down any kind of hope at Neil staying by his side, again and again, until Riko let Neil go? Do you think he forced himself not to get used to a supportive presence by his side so he could spare himself the grief and heartbreak when, inevitably, he would be alone again when Neil left? Do you think despite all of it, he still lingered as he watched Neil get driven out of evermore, when he was being left behind again?

Bellumbeck is such an interesting final boss, because not only is it your ally, some of the bosses actions/details make it clear that Linebeck is fighting back. Retraining Ciela instead of killing her, using moves he's seen Link do, and more darkly in the manga - willing to destroy himself if it protects Link. Link is forced to fight not just an ancient evil - but one of the closest friends he's ever made besides Tetra, and one of the few adult figures he respects. To fight Linebeck is to potientially lose another mentor as was with The King of Red Lions

Bellumbeck is so… he really stands out from pretty much all of the other final bosses and its so cool- and it’s like you say, Bellumbeck is not just some final form of varying flavors of Evil Thing or a dangerous character whose defeat the world would benefit from, that’s your fucking friend. It doesn't feel heroic like other final bosses, it feels like a desperate fight for the survival of you and your friends.

Linebeck being capable of fighting back or otherwise resisting Bellum is an interesting one; definitely a fun way to give him some sort of agency or role to play, suggesting that he may be fighting against Bellum just as hard as Link is. I think I've seen some people suggest that the slight hesitation or pause before some of Bellumbeck's attacks may be caused by Linebeck trying to stop himself (like the manga shows him doing).

I absolutely ADORE the idea that Bellumbeck uses a spin attack because it's something that Linebeck has seen Link do. The idea that it might be unconscious, or something Bellum just happened to pick up on from Linebeck's memories... UGH it's good no matter how you justify it.

On the other hand, I personally don't see how Linebeck fighting back would've had an effect on Bellum restraining rather than killing Ciela. I understand stuff like a hitch in the attacks or unconsciously influencing what attacks are made, since all of that is stuff that Linebeck has a direct (though unwilling) hand in, but Bellum grabbing Ciela is something that... Bellum individually does. I don't imagine that Linebeck would be able to have any ability to influence what Bellum himself does, especially considering that even if he can affect the part he's directly involved in it's only ever a small effect. Bellum restraining rather than killing Ciela is, I think, a deliberate choice on Bellum's part without any input from Linebeck, and honestly even that way it's still interesting to think about.

The manga's take on events is interesting, especially with the idea that, to some degree, Linebeck was able to overpower Bellum in order to move how he wanted (even though it was clearly limited to only specific parts and with clear difficulty) and the idea that he'd do... well, anything he can to ensure Link's safety is pretty good.

The general concept of a Link having to fight a possessed person isn't really new and wasn't new when Phantom Hourglass rolled around, but I honestly think ph did it best, holy shit. Link having to fight a close friend and someone in a role akin to a mentor to him is already one hell of a devastating setup, but one extra thing I've seen others point out is that the Bellumbeck fight is the second time Link's be faced with a sword fight with another human, and he ended the first one by killing his opponent. So, that's a fun correlation for Link to make during this fight!

Bellumbeck is just... it's such a cool, unique battle even compared to the other final bosses, and while it may fall short in difficulty or gameplay, it has some fantastic music and all of the story and character surrounding it is honestly amazing.
