I just finished reading ‘The Poppy War’, and… christ.

I was having fun in the first half the book. I was enjoying myself.

(Spoilers UTC and me just rambling incoherently about the book)

I can’t say I expected Rin to go ahead with genocide, because usually in this fantasy genre the protagonist is generally quite morally upright and even if they make mistakes and bad choices, they ultimately choose against them, but I really liked the subversion of expectations in that regard and how she started losing it slightly near the end; trying to justify it to herself and all that. It’s refreshing to see a protagonist who makes the wrong choices and refuses to admit they’re in the wrong, especially when it’s out of fear. It makes Rin seem very messed-up, and feel very human in that regard.

On the note of trying to justify it, Kitay is the best. I love how he’s not having any of it and pointing out Rin’s hypocrisy and hatefulness. I hope to god he doesn’t die in the other books.

Also… I stumbled across some spoilers in fanart and NEZHA LIVES. I called it. Because the last we saw of him was him getting dragged away by Federation soldiers, not lying dead on the floor, so I was holding out a string of hope that he was alive. I’m assuming that foreshadowing/ plot point being brought up earlier that he might be shaman because he healed his spine and whatnot so quickly has something to do with his survival: if he has some sort of healing ability/ connection to some god of healing or medicine, it would make sense that he survived the gas.

I was also hoping he’d survive because it would be really interesting to see such a visually attractive character have his looks taken from him by the gas — something which will happen, judging by the fanart I saw. He hasn’t been established as particularly vain before in regards to physical appearance alone, but it’ll be interesting to see if he struggles with self-worth or acceptance somewhat because of his looks being taken from him. I don’t know if that will happen, but it would be interesting to see; and I also wonder how Rin will react, because her perspective hasn’t exactly been subtle about how attractive she finds him.

Also, Jiang is a legend. Love that guy. I suspected he might be the Gatekeeper, and honestly, I expect no less of him.

I like how dark the story got in the second half, even if it was disturbing. The narrator didn’t shy from making the war really feel like hell, especially during the discovery of the massacre in Golyn Niis and Venka’s experiences during the war. It was gut-wrenching, and I say that as somebody who isn’t squeamish or easily put off by graphic descriptions. Just… god, it made my skin crawl.

I wonder whether Rin will keep going down the dark path she’s kind of set herself on. I find it really interesting how there seems to be an established cycle of violence going on, and hypocrisy and dehumanisation on both sides, and again, the fact that the protagonist didn’t try to end the cycle of violence but rather perpetuated it further is a very interesting route to take the story. It would be interesting if Rin pulled an Eren and became the antagonist of the series, but I don’t know if it’ll go that far.

Anyway. Good book. I need the second one.

I’m always happy to see my boy come back in the spot light when something happens to him.

[ cw: violence mention / death mention / ]

Will never stop thinking about how Leo, all alone in an endless void and being beaten again and again and again by the only other living thing around, still finds comfort in that space. The situation he was in was completely hopeless, and in any other circumstances he would not have escaped, at least not fast enough to save him from permanent (or even fatal) damage, be it physical or mental.

And yet, despite the bleakness of his situation, despite the agony and helplessness, all he needs is one glance at a crumbled photograph, one glance to remember his family, and that’s enough of a reason for him to smile.

Maybe that’s why his powers center around manipulating space - because no matter how much space is between them, no matter how dire his own situation may be, just the thought of his family, alive and okay, is enough to give Leo hope.

Wouldn’t it be just horrifying for the guardians of the Silent Realm in Skyward Sword to be corrupted by either malice or gloom from BotW/TotK and thus looking essentially like the blights that killed the champions?

And wouldn’t it be so fun to make Sky and Wild have to face that horrible combination of what’s probably somewhere in the top five of their worst nightmares?

Just imagine it, the Silent Realm bleeding through into the regular realm on Skyloft. The color slowly draining away into that haunting bluish-grey of the Silent Realm. Eerie bells ringing in the air. Gloom seeping onto the floor, because the Silent Realm has been corrupted, and it’s no longer a place Hylia has any control over.

The guardians of the Silent Realm with gloom covered weapons, eyes dripping gloom from them, and bodies becoming more and more coated in gloom as the guardians flicker in and out of view near the Light Tower on Skyloft.

And then the guardians awaken. You know, the guardians that have never been fought before and therefore have no known method of defeating them?

Yeah :)

Scully in season 3 episode 13 pacing around the room while aggressively smoking a cigarette and angrily muttering about Mulder and detective White is everything to me. I know she would be climbing up the walls if she could.

Spoilers for chapter 2 ep 15

*sigh*.. you know last time when i said in episode 14 I’m in shambles?? Well i was lying

I'm ACTUALLY in shambles this episode

God actually teared up watching this.. before this trial. My least favorite characters were Arei and ace. Ironic how they’re both the victim and the culprit of this case, and how much my opinions changed about them..

I want to talk about more things but now i just feel bad for ace even though i hoped it was him.

When veronica said that nobody would feel bad for him if he died with this attitude i remember agreeing with her that time but now I’m just tearing up seeing how he talks about his murder..

That doesn’t mean i like him now. I just feel like i understood him more and was able to see how human he was. His paranoia of death ironically led him to his death

Yeah well, he’s baby so.

So I finally got around to reading @treel’s wonderful fic Éxtasis this last weekend and I’m just going to assume this is how it’s going to resolve until the next update comes out.
