Why I love 7x01 trailer scene

Did I mention how much I love the 7x01 trailer scene? I love it in a way that's directly proportional to how much I hate the TMWWBK ring of fire scene. But it is also more than that.

1)It was at once light and heavy. Their grand ill-fated history lurked in the background, yet their interactions were breezy and easy-going from the start--and this was all Crowley, who despite being the loser in the power struggle, despite the need to submit to Castiel to survive, acted like himself, smiling, flirting, playful and uninhibited. And although you see that he was not entirely happy about hell being downsized, his resignation was not bitter nor fake, but came from a place of real respect and acknowledgement of Castiel's power and Castiel's victory.

2) It was at once sweet and painful. Painful because Castiel was never more powerful than this moment, but also never more alone. In the previous episode he said "I have no family." His former friends feared and loathed him, wanted him dead. He had no true support in heaven (he had to kill thousands to maintain his rule; he was doing all his work by himself, no angels joined in his crusade to fix God's "mess"). Sweet because in these few minutes with the King of Hell, he got to have a genuinely relaxed and friendly interaction. Sweet because Crowley's antics made him smile. Sweet because he got to feel good about himself for once in his whole damn life.

3) However turbulent and violent their journey had been in Season 6, however surreal the circumstance of "meeting the new God" was, they got to have this peaceful, light-hearted banter with each other, they got to be themselves. They showed uncomplicated affection for each other. The weight of the world, of heaven and hell and earth, almost seem to be suspended for their moment.

4) But for me, it is so sad to watch now, knowing what's to come for them. For Castiel, especially, this was the last moment he got to believe in himself, it was the last moment he demanded and received respect. After this scene, only disaster, humiliation and slander awaited him, in and out of universe. Crowley's path of degradation would be delayed by two seasons, but it would catch up with him in ways no less brutal.

The whole scene was beautiful. The sigils overhead, the brown-and-orange checkered curtain, the whisky that Crowley carried like a talisman, the way they tilted their heads at each other. And this was their last moment of glory, last moment they got to be themselves, and they got to be themselves because they got to be with each other.

"You found me."

"I never lost you."

when I was a kid I scrounged up a little device and hid it inside of a book for years, and looking through it now is so strange - a time capsule of what I found important when I was nine

Do Hermione or Ron ever interact directly with Voldemort? I can't think of a time that they do?

No! I somehow only recently realized this. Hermione comes face to face with him for like a second in Godric's Hollow in book 7. And also in the end of book 7 when Harry is supposedly dead Ron is in the crowd and yells something at him which I think is their first and only interaction. But yeah. Other than that every time he shows up they're not there.

Draco on the other hand, has met and interacted with him. Another parallel between him and Harry and another thing they have in common that allows them to understand each other's experiences in a way most others can't.

important question: does murderbot (the murderbot diaries) wear socks?

we know socks exist in murderbot world (it describes human living spaces as smelling like dirty socks).

we know that mb's feet are inorganic and don't look like human feet or augmented human feet.

when mb gets new clothes, which it does several times throughout the series, it never mentions socks (at least not to my knowledge, and I have these books practically memorized at this point). the most we get is that some shoes are described as "soft".

when in armor, mb mentions its "suitskin", which seems to be an all-over bodysuit sort of deal that could cover feet as well, thus negating the need for socks. for most of the series, though, mb is not in armor and not wearing suitskin.

considerations/potential points

mb might hate the smell and/or human connotations of socks enough to go sockless

mb mentions its shoes being soft bc it doesn't need to wear socks with them

suitskin = no socks for secunits, but mb got some post-All Systems Red to when it had to start wearing human shoes

maybe human socks don't work with secunit feet, or aren't necessary for them (although shoes work, so i feel like socks would work too)

if mb mentions getting shoes, perhaps it can be assumed that it's also buying socks, and just didn't mention it bc it doesn't deem them important.

thoughts?

You know, these past two episodes I was thinking to myself, Su Yin is almost perfect in every way, simply the ideal devoted, protective, loyal, dedicated sworn brother, call him Da-ge indeed!!!, but my one piece of constructive criticism is that he needs to learn how to give real hugs - he does a lot of manful shoulder clasping, but Xiaobao is a shivering chihuahua desperately in need of cuddles and body heat, you gotta HUG THAT BOY - but now I see that Su Yin's hugs are simply reserved for his horrible little gremlin of an imperial cousinwife.
