I absolutely ADORE the fact that May doesn't care about the huge bouquet her ex gave her, and instead takes the time to carefully put Oon's rose, which is small, and slightly crushed, in a beautiful vase, somewhere she goes everyday, first thing in the morning and last thing in the evening, and cherishes it like the most precious gift ! Because it is...And Oon will someday realize it, that money doesn't matter and that May loves everything she gives her because it's her !

"Colin didn't do enough to earn/deserve Penelope!"

but that's the rub, isn't it? he didn't have to. that's why people are so mad. He didn't have to, and he never had to

Because what this season proves is that love isn't about what we deserve. That love cannot be earned. Viewing love in such light makes it conditional- a matter of transaction. That if we simply do enough, if we humble ourselves, if we are ground down to humility, surely we will be cared for. That love can be a matter of groveling, or suffering, is antithetical to what it truly is. It is such an incredibly puritanical, highly Catholic perspective on it. That Colin has fallen from grace with what he said at the end of Season 2, and thus must now repent. Must have adequate penance.

Who determines what would have been enough, in such circumstances? What would be enough from such a puritanical viewpoint to garner forgiveness? When Colin had history of being soft and tender with Penelope- writing her letters, complimenting her, finding her in ballrooms, laughing at her jokes and making her laugh in turn, defending her- would it truly appease us to have the shape of their lovestory form around the skin of suffering? Of coming to hands and knees in a plead for mercy?

No.

Penelope informs that she's hurt by his comments, and Colin sought to soothe that pain without her demanding it of him. That is love. Penelope reveals the ache of being unwanted and how it affects her self worth, and Colin says 'I will help you see yourself the way I see you', because he has always found her wonderful. That is love. Colin comes to Penelope and reveals that he appreciates her, that he does not want to lose her, and requests a chance to prove that, and she not only accepts, but finds relief in doing so. That's love. Penelope feels braver because Colin thinks she already is. That's love. Colin feels unseen but Penelope sees him. That's love. Penelope asks Colin to kiss her with no expectations of more, and he tenderly touches her face and dreams and dreams and dreams of that moment where she put her heart in his hands. That's love. Colin runs after her carriage and has no idea she harbors affection for him when he spills his own heart open, asking her to choose him, and when she says they're friends, he backs off. That's love. Penelope says she wants to be more than friends, and they fall headfirst into each other. That's love. Colin asks Penelope for her permission to provide pleasure for her, and in doing so, finds pleasure himself. That's love, that's love, that's love.

It has never been about 'deserving'. It has only ever been about opening themselves up to the possibility. Colin and Penelope said: I know you're scared, I know it's scary, but it's worth it. I adore you. Take my hand. Stand with me in corners and have a good time. Crack silly jokes with me. Let's eat cake. Walk with me. Talk to me of matters so foolish, it would make you blush to do so with someone else, I want to listen. I accept you. I see you. Love is not owed, earned- but given. Shared freely. Without expectation. Without condition. With an open hand and heart.

They said: You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

Nicola was right. Season 3 is about romance.

You can't imagine my disappointment when I realized you cannot glamour Eos into Garuda-Egi (let alone Garuda herself) but I guess it's fair since you'd have to be a Summoner to be able to get those anyway.

But oh well, a man can still dream :3> 💦

Did I hit my head? Or did Lisa Swain actually admit she has feelings for me?

[truly-sincerely]

I'm asexual and aromantic in the sense that I am not interested in having sex at all or particularly in being romantic/romanced

But as a writer/consumer I am extremely horny and extremely romantic

Is there a unique name for this, because it kind of feels bad getting lumped in with the sex/romance averse and disinterested aces/aros

[muckmagister]

My handsome man, Jeremy Renner, is my sexiest man alive . Not only is he the sexiest man , he's kind , caring, and thoughtful, just a few words I'd use to describe Jeremy

What upsets me the most about all the bad writing is that Qot will be written off as something that started great but ended horribly. I have no hope . I don't think anything can save it now.

But this show has given us so many really good scenes. Scenes that made me cry....that made me fall in love....that made my heart ache. BaekHong really delivered and I wish, I WISH people watch it for just that cause they're an absolutely lovely character/relationship study. Some of their scenes have really been written and executed well. It's paining me to know all of that is going to be in vain.

Soooo I hope people say, Qot was poorly written but the acting, main leads and the relationship development/arc of the main couple might just be worth the watch.

I hope people understand the implication that technically Yoichi also ate his mom indirectly. Since all that nutrient from the umbilical chord was attached meant he took some from AFO.

He was now trying to get back some nutrients from AFO once outside the womb. To be fair, AFO deserves it for taking all the nutrients first.
