#last season speculations

[luniviravosshipper]

Okay okay, just two more things I want to point out before I head off to bed.

Firstly, I’ve seen people point out how Soren was shown bleeding or that he had blood on him, but why?

And why does he suddenly shift moods in the same clip?

Also, it looks like he’s looking up more in the first image and with concern.

I mean, with the background and all, this looks like it might take place at Katolis. But why would he have blood on him there? Was he in a fight with someone? Is the person he’s fighting the one he’s looking at here?? I need answers!

Secondly,

Oh my gosh. Did anyone hear that insane screaming from Claudia??

Even with the sound of the music overlapping it, her screaming was so clear and loud in the background.

It sounds gut wrenching.

Racquel was not kidding when she said she was really pushed to her limits when it came to her voice acting this season. I hope her vocal cords aren’t totally fried now.

buck crashing out over eddie hanging out with another guy was so insane i can’t help but imagine bucks reaction when eddie realizes he’s gay and starts flirting back with guys on calls. villain level crash out of the century i fear.

At this point, I don't necessarily need a Haladriel kiss. What I do, though, is emotionally charged dialogue and close talking/whispering with heavy breathing.

THIS.

I understand why many of you hope for a kiss, I really do, but personnally if we get a scene as sexually charged as any of their scenes from S1, I'll be very happy already.

Oh and if Sauron touches Galadriel's hair like he did with Mirdania's, it will probably turn me into a puddle.

yk what yeah let’s talk about why all the close up shots on Buck so far this season because again why would we constantly need to see his reaction and have us as the audience notice the close up shots on Buck (and also Eddie) so I’d like to believe that in this situation as I’ve said it before Eddie is the one that makes the first move on Buck when Buddie does go canon so we see Buck’s reaction after their first kiss

[iliveinarainbow]

ok i might be spiraling here but it’s pretty clear to me that armand was perfectly fine with the coven killing claudia and madeleine, but specifically claudia bc she was in the way.

he wasn’t powerless, he was in on it.

a common tactic with abusers is to isolate their victim so that they become emotionally dependent on them bc they’re all they have.

and also so that no one will intervene when they abuse their victim, and the latter will have no one to turn to.

claudia not only reminded armand of lestat, which is not good, but she was also incredibly protective of louis, and she was not afraid to report back whenever she felt the coven (including armand himself) had done something wrong.

she was not scared to speak her truth and be honest with louis in an attempt to wake him out of this spell his relationship with armand had seemingly put him under.

yes claudia’s existence broke the coven’s rules, but if armand had wanted to he could’ve taken them out, and yet he did not.

claudia was in the way of his fucked up relationship with louis, and madeleine sadly for her was just kinda there.

armand needed louis isolated to fully take control of his life and its narrative, and 70 something years later, we see that he succeeded.

until my pookie daniel got there and started poking holes in their “perfect marriage”, icon.

Eddie's gonna invite Buck to a one-on-one game of basketball before he leaves, but only if he doesn't push him again and damn near break his ankle like he did last time.

Take note of the Season 3 "Just don't do it again" point.

[afterschoolcrewz]

ok so based on his actors instagram comments, brad definitely has some sort of villain arc coming up perhaps in relation to his dynamic with bobby. peter krause also teased that there were more hotshots stuff in the next few episodes, but didn’t necessarily say that it was about bobby working on the hotshots set either, and based on the “welcome back c-“ sign we saw that we now 100% know isn’t for gerrard, bobby’s going to be coming back to the 118 sooner or later. so what i’m thinking is that brad is going to become obsessed with living the authentic firefighter lifestyle, perhaps staging a bunch of accidents on set so that he can rush in and save the day kind of like jonah in s5, but when bobby leaves he no longer has has the external validation he wants so badly.

i think that he’s going to target somebody that bobby’s close to, and considering the fact that he only really saw bobby interacting with athena and buck, i feel like buck in his mind is going to be the easiest choice for him, seeing that he knows athena is a police sergeant that could easily catch onto him doing something behind the scenes if he isn’t careful around her. so after bobby leaves, he starts stalking buck and trying to figure out a way to get him in danger that he can take the credit for (this would tie into the halloween episode desc. of scary decorations) before deciding that the easiest and most glamorous way to go about it is setting his loft on fire and rushing in to save him. the only issue is that brad’s never actually been in a real fire, and this time he doesn’t have bobby around to back him up, so he messes up and in a panic he calls bobby to alert him that buck’s in danger, because i don’t think he’s the intentionally sadistic type like jonah was, i think his character is moreso likely to think he’s doing the “right thing” until it’s too late, and that’s when he panics.

this is going to end on a cliffhanger of the 118 rushing to save buck, and that’s where we have the break on the week of 10/31 as people theorize on what’s going to happen next. this would also tie in with episode title of masks, in this case one of the masks being the put together/badass facade that brad puts on.

[biceratops7]

… let’s talk about “Arrival”

So I was fully intending on making a more general but thorough peruse through the new Good Omens title sequence, because my FUCK aren’t those always a gold mine. But then I thought to myself, “hey wait a minute, I can be even more unhinged and on brand.”

Something I’ve seen nobody talk about yet is that the movie that the procession is marching into is The Arrival, which is a 90’s movie that draws a pretty straightforward parallel. But I think if it doubles as a reference to 2016’s Arrival, THAT has some much more interesting implications. Either way this reference is doing some heavy lifting.

For those who haven’t seen the movie (or that one philosophy tube video about it lol), the basic plot is that a group of aliens later named heptopods arrive on earth scattered across the world, and just kind of invite humanity to check them out. Each country hires a team of linguists who are all tasked with figuring out what the visitors are here for. But the thing is, it’s only about aliens on the surface level. This is really about communicating, cooperation, and how language holds the power to alter your very fabric of reality.

Spoilers for the movie:

Two major revelations occur towards the end of the movie. The first is that an element of fluid time is revealed. Throughout the movie, the main American linguist has been having flashbacks to a daughter that passed away of an illness. But since the heptopod language has no regard for chronological order, we learn that these are actually flash-forwards when she becomes nearly fluent. In other words, learning heptopod, having a genuine curiosity and even compassion for these vastly different beings. has given her the ability to perceive reality in ways thought previously impossible.

Even before noticing the Arrival reference, I’ve been side eyeing these “flashbacks”, but this and the image above confirmed it for me. Any instance of the word “becoming” when talking about the past indicates some sort of fluid time nonsense. The past is fixed unless something ✨happens✨. I don’t think these are simply memories, I think something rather cosmic instead is afoot.

But it’s more than just “there’s probably time travel in this” though. Simply having Aziraphale as a companion has changed Crowley. It’s given him an ability that he’s not meant to be capable of as a demon. He already had it in him to be good and have mutual relationships based in trust and kindness, I’m sure all demons can if given the right nurture… but Crowley is experiencing love. In the show, something tangible to the senses and distinctly angelic. I’m very much hoping that that whole element of things is going to somehow be a driving factor in what’s occurring over all, and possibly involved in time going screwy.

The other element of Arrival’s ending that’s of import, is the heavy emphasis on the importance of cooperation. First of all, we learn at some point that not every country has the same message to decipher, they each have one piece of a whole. Some of the countries begin using games to communicate with their heptopods, and this poses a problem because it causes messages to be more easily interpreted as hostile. For example, the phrase “we brought a tool” can be easily misconstrued as “we have a weapon.” Eventually, the world gets impatient and scared, and a war is imminent. What finally leads to everyone putting down arms and cooperating, is the American linguist sending a message to the Chinese linguist saying “in war, there are no victors, only widows.”

Something noteworthy about this particular march is that the procession never splits like it does at the end of the first season’s. Not only are both angelic and demonic figures marching into the light atop a mountain as a United front, but this actually seems to be a theme this season. Heaven and Hell aren’t working together as far as we know, but they are at least working towards the same goal, which for some reason is getting Gabriel’s ass. There is also a heavy emphasis on mending broken relationships, with Crowley and Azirphale trying to fix a (probably) lesbian couple literally being the B plot.

Now this is where we bring in what’s actually on the movie screen, which is that damn box. So at this point we know basically nothing about it accept for it probably being a Mcguffin. But we DO have the imagery of three feathers, a black one, a white one, and a bluish grey one, falling into it… and it sure as fuck looks like a moving box. So back to arrival, what actually was the message? The heptopods told the linguist that they’re here to help humanity (via giving them a tool or new tech I think?) because in 3,000 years, they will need humanity’s help. So with this and the world eventually being inspired to stand down and share their pieces of the message, it’s this over arching theme of setting aside fear of the other and cooperating indefinitely for the benefit of the whole. The black feather, the white feather… and then something that is somehow both yet entirely unique.

I think… somehow, someway, this season may culminate in Heaven and Hell reconciling. Whether it be against a common enemy, for a shared goal, or in love, there seems to be many clues both symbolic and literal that show them learning to be one again. Learning to understand eachother’s language and see new ways of being neither before could fathom.

Putting my big damn clown nose on…

We saw Hen and Karen break up in the flashback in 6x06

We saw them almost break up in Season 1

Chim and Maddie broke up/never really got started after the events of 2x13

Bobby and Athena have issues/almost break up when she doesn’t want to be seen in public with him bc it’s too soon/bc of the divorce and how she feels that will be perceived by others

They have issues again when Athena asks Bobby to move in

I mean… a breakup doesn’t have to mean forever and we’ve seen other main couples overcome big issues before!

And Tim, why say this last season and then write him off like this? Where to live could honestly have been a valid reason to break up but the scene ended up not even being about that.

At this point why didn’t you just bring back canonical gay firefighter Casey from Hen Begins, who most of the GA would have known as much as they knew Tommy?

Natalia got written off between seasons and if there was really that much of an issue with the actors/something behind the scenes/how the studio wanted to proceed, whatever it might be, I think you could have just… not done this.

Did I have a point? Mm not sure. Anyways

Dad’s Season 7 Theory

So my dad just came back from a few weeks abroad which meant we finally binged the new season together. Anyway… as we reached the end of the last episode he had a thought that I found pretty interesting so I thought I’d share.

Runnan has been released from the coin as we know, meaning there’s still one Quasar diamond in Callum’s possession. My dad noticed that when Runnan was freed his previously occupied coin it became empty (obviously) and that Callum picked it up to look at it. Now this can easily be framed as simple curiosity, but perhaps also foreshadowing? My dad’s thought here is, since Aaravos cannot be killed, and hence needs to be trapped, will Callum end up performing the coin entrapment spell on Aaravos? Instead of doing it the dark magic way he’d use the last Quasar diamond to trap him, almost like a reverse release spell?

It seems like an interesting thought and would be a pretty rounded conclusion to Callum’s arc, he would keep his promise of not using dark magic, we would see the final diamond be used, and trapping Aaravos in a coin would parallel Viren trapping others for his own gain, while Callum would have trapped someone to not only save the world but also assure himself that he is free from the threat and influence of Aaravos (seeing as he is absolutely going to spiral once he finds out Aaravos is free and he didn’t take the real Pearl).

Yeah anyway this is why I like watching shows with him we always end up having interesting discussions.

[stolenkissesdiaz]

it’s been seven years of this hell and yall still don’t get it. the way to realllyyyy torture both buck and eddie is to make sure they’re both injured but neither one can help the other, all while not seeing eachother. oh and to make matters worse? the only way they can survive is by talking. which they do a lot of sure but they don’t really talk. and when ur dying with ur best friend who u can’t see, suddenly pandora’s box of secrets and untouched subjects becomes all u can think about. and definitely don’t think about how buck is going to want to save eddie bc chris needs him while eddie refuses outright to not make it out with buck, bc fuck this we’re both going back to him. it’s a hell scenario for both at the same time while also leaving room to talk and mention things they otherwise wouldn’t……

[deluweil]

Am I the only one struggling to understand why the last minute handbags, I mean gfs, get dragged into the next season? There's no need, the moment you stapled the women last minute of the season, we know they aren't lasting.

Having Marisol dragged till episode 5, give or take, is a waste of time of 10 episodes.

Also, gotta say, buddie not going canon, which is feeling more and more likely, as I told one of my mutuals, could be fatal for this show.

Because the two main male characters not finding their one true pairing in 7 seasons, but get stapled to a new woman, again will just feel like disrespect for those characters and the fans.

Because the other og characters either started married (henren) or got together in season 2 (madney and bathena).

So I am asking, what about Buck and Eddie, these two are freaking serial monogamists, how have they not settled with anyone else?

The reason is that they did! They settled with each other! There is no room for anyone else!

At this point not declaring them spouses for life is just a waste of episodes, characters and our time.

[canonicallyobserving911]

Unpopular opinion: I don't want Eddie sitting at home moping about his life in season 8.

Why? Because he deserves to have fun and live a little. He has a whole life the SHOW NEVER FOCUSES ON. Who knew he was playing poker at an underground LAFD poker game with a chief, a captain and others? NO ONE! (Until 6x13.) Who knew Eddie had a muscle car? I DIDN'T! (Until 7x4.) Of course, everyone who watched season 3 knows he participates in Muay Thai fighting because he was involved in that illegal fight club Lena introduced him to but that's not the point. It appears, Eddie has interests that the show NEVER focuses on until it's convenient... so, it would be nice if he has the chance to do them ON-SCREEN.

There are some who want Eddie to just sit home and mope about his life while his friend dates a trashy dude who knows Buck wasn’t trying to get his attention 🙄 but I digress.

Anyway, I don't want him to do that because he's already done it. He carried his entire family on his back starting at the age of 10 after his dad told him "To be the man of the house" and he has been ever since. He became a husband and a father right out of high school and he’s been working to provide for his own family. Since he blew up his life and the showrunner let his parents take Chris away from him, he should be able to go out and have fun with some of his friends like Linda, Chimney, Captain Mehta, Lena, Karen and maybe some of the people he served with in the Army. Or here's a thought... HOW ABOUT LET EDDIE TALK TO HIS SISTERS! HE HAS TWO BUT NOT ONCE HAVE WE AS THE AUDIENCE SEEN HIM TALK TO OR SPEND TIME WITH THEM. It's been 6 going on 7 years and Eddie has the largest family of every main on the show so could he please spend time with his abuela, his sisters and his cousins ON-SCREEN?

Listen... some want to see Eddie pine and be jealous of whack ass T*mmy but he’s been petty for years regarding the people Buck's ended up with which means it has been done several times before. (Hello season 5 with the first T.K. when Buck took her to Eddie’s for dinner in 5x11 and when she was in his house for his welcome home party in 4x14 🙄.) Therefore, IMO, it's time for Eddie to finally live for Eddie!

Please understand, I only ship Buddie but I think it will be good for him to find a hobby he enjoys and spend time with friends because it seems like he never had the chance to do any of that. Also, him getting spiritual guidance regarding his past from the priest is one thing but the majority of people don’t live at church so he should spend time figuring out what he likes and doesn't like. He said he's a nester so he can do that while staying busy. Maybe he can take a class or do something extreme that's legal. (No fight clubbing or anything that's going to put his life or his job in danger because some parts of the fandom already villainize him but they don't hold other mains to the same standard. He's been called angry once and that was a character assassination all on its own and it's NOT TRUE!) There are lots of things he can do other than sit home.

Just thoughts.

"Shades of dark grey."

"Shades of very very light grey, I rather fancy."

What if in Season 3 they have something in the cottage painted grey - a shade that they were able to agree on together.
