#just like me after the episode

[inconmess]

I know I posted a lot today but still having too many thoughts about this episode so I am repeating some of my posts and others I am adding as a side note. The tune on my head as I am writing the post and what I was reminded of as I watched the episode. Putting everything under the cut.

Tbh, I was kinda expecting Leo and Grimoria to fall before Malcolm and Edgar with the number of scars they had but with this outcome? *chefs kiss* The psychedelic shit that went down in the second half of the episode combined with the first half and it's feels and all the emotional talks were kind of the whiplash I was expecting but not expecting at the same time?

I was not expecting the talk between Leo and Edgar about their sisters and their trauma openly given that Edgar is a very conservative person and doesn't open up that much and the fact that it was implied they might've known each other before the whole circle had formed? I mean, it was a speculation and I may have overshot the time they might've known each other but still, I wasn't also expecting Leo to talk about his trauma so...

Though I kinda also wanted them to talk about that with Malcolm also given that I think he might also need an explanation to all the breakdowns that were going on the end of the second episode, you know but him not knowing also gives an interesting dynamic.

The dynamic between Malcolm and his mother was also an interesting thing to explore, given that Malcolm told that she had a soft corner for him but at the same time I think he underestimated how much she knows about the actual inner dealings of the company and her resistance to give information out that easily? Her asking him to come back into the family was also interesting given the fact that Malcolm had previously mentioned how he was thrown out and will most likely not be welcome back (as Malcom did mention in the episode) Don't worry ma'am, Malcolm wouldn't require the days at all.

Pity we didn't see an interaction between Edgar and his father because we have seen everyone else with their parents/parental figures for a conversation over the course of stuff. But even if psychedelic, I am glad for the sister interaction Edgar got out of it.

Also, wondering how Declan actually escaped the carnage and successfully went back to Serenity without letting it out that the mission went wrong given the way the psychedelics worked... Also is the psychedelics an extension of whatever Calinus tried to do? Was it his legacy?

And the placement of the circle of the Wyrm and it's crime scene was just... *chefs kiss* just the right amount of horror and anticipation and the immediate jump scare of everyone dropping?

I have too many questions and too little answers.

The machine which took Edgar's sister was made years before the war and probably was evolved during the war and used to end it but what actually happens to the people who are hit by the rays? Are they just disintegrated? Disappear and transported? What happened? I have similar question regarding what happened to Leo's sister and friends.

I ALSO NEED MORE INFO ON GRIMORIA'S BACKGROUND!!!!

I wonder how the fallout of this current episode will be for Zora, given that she just lost Declan and now gets to know that the circle of the Wrym is completely dead because of their "expeditions" and two of the Crimson Mirror has also now fallen to this thing. Her worry for the other two when they haven't come back...

I also wonder what will be going on in Grimoria's head as she read Leo's will (which I initially thought to be Edgar's but I won't be surprised if Edgar did leave a will for Grimoria. And Malcolm)

Speaking of, someone should inform Glask about Malcolm's fate? And Edgar's hospital. And Edgar's dad maybe. Maybe Candela takes care of it? Maybe not? But I DO NOT want Grimoria to go back to the Frogs.

Liam, you incredible man, the story may not have been what you set out to tell but it was pure gold and hats off to the rest of the cast for how they went about the whole thing. Alex and his reactions, Imari and his Candelas, Taliesen and his roleplay and Aimee just being Aimee? Chefs kiss.

Thank you for hearing my rant for the day, might catch the 2nd rebroadcast in a few hours and just immerse in it but man I LOVE THIS CIRCLE!

Liam just asking the others to stop helping each other and die was one of my favs of the day! Along with Alex deciding to shoot Malcolm and the honest to god description the whole episode?

I just wanted to see more of Declan and his relationship with the circle even if it is from anecdotes from the circle in itself, maybe an insight into how they got introduced to him but it's fine.

Still want to know how this all ties in with Tide and Bone and really looking forward to the session zero of this circle cuz I WANT SOME QUESTIONS SIRS AND MA'AM!

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

S08E21: Holding On

[cream-and-tea]

what she says: yea i’m fine

what she’s thinking: the story brought both carpenter and faulkner to their inevitable end points that have been foreshadowed from the v first episode of the show ambiguity of carpenters death aside she stood on the banks of the river singing like her nana glass and was gunned down by the military and faulkner was drowned dragged delivered by the god and story he had let devour him but. but. before those things happened right before the narrative reached its end both of them stood up and said no! i want to go forward! i want to find something past this whatever it might be i don’t want it to take me yet im going to keep on walking! and it was too late! the thing is it was too fucking late!!!!!!! the aquifer was already flooding the soldiers were closing in she was to hurt to run he can’t swim. the chance had come and gone at the beginning of the episode for any hope of them reaching each other ever again but even though it was too little too late never ever going to be enough they both looked the site of their doom in the eyes and said i do not accept this. not here. not now. i am staring at you– the thing that will eat me — and resolving to pry open the jaws and choose to use the last moments of my life (whether i know it or not) to run and stumble and crawl and cry and sing in the hopes of reaching the people who matter to me more than being made your meal. and of course they got fucking eaten anyways. of course they did bc they were walking towards it from the beginning. but there is a way out, there is a way forward, there is a land beyond the storm that is possible to reach if you choose to step out of the story that has been built for you to find it. we walk on, with a rough and tarnished hope, and a tangled, ruined love. it can end with love, and it can end with kindness. even as the jaws are closing. ours is a world of miracles.
