How old are you? You already understand this kind of thing? I remember I first knew what love is only when I was 370 years old. Zhao Yuan Zhou, go to jail.

[musewrangler]

In a universe where Firmus Piett never joined the Imperial Fleet and Max Veers has yet to be posted to the Executor, the two of them meet in less than ideal circumstances for Piett.

Forcibly conscripted by a resentful, Core conscious Admiral, Piett tries to escape his fate and eventually wins the friendship of the General.

The two of them desert from the Imperial Forces and strive to help the galaxy by offering mercenary services to smuggle medical supplies or defend civilians no one else cares about in this war between the Empire and the Rebellion. How long can they get away with it?

Leon: Ok. What's going on?

Merlin: What do you mean?

Leon: What's the matter? What's wrong with you?

Merlin: Listen, I know myself so you have to be a little more specific if you want a short answer.

Their dynamic is one of the most underrated in the MCU. The og avengers, and arguably the two most interesting. She knew Tony longer than she knew any of the rest of them (besides Clint). My favorite Natasha friendship other than Steve.

“Agent Romanoff…ya miss me?”🥺😭

Just the way you say his name. Oh. -Will

It's so cute. And I love it. It's just the cutest. -Danielle

...I mean, this is just great dialogue. It's so funny. -Rider

Run right through the joke in the perfect way. Ugh. That's what I'm telling you. You were hitting beats, you were hitting comedy beats in this one that I don't recall you hitting in previous episodes. -Will

So we talk about Third Wheel Aragorn a lot, and that’s good because he is one of the Classic Third Wheels Of All Time, and the period with the Three Hunters running around Middle-earth while two of them are falling head-over-heels for each other is just perfection. In fact, we should have more Third Wheel Aragorn stuff, because it’s frankly the best of his many (many) identities, imo.

But. We do not talk enough about Third Wheel Éomer and Faramir.

Because think about it! These two dudes were running Rohan and Ithilien when Gimli and Legolas were establishing their new dwarf and elf colonies. Which means that while Aragorn was busy being The Shiny New King Of Gondor, the Prince of Ithilien and King of Rohan (who yes was also busy being king, but surely had less Shit To Deal With because Rohan didn’t have a whole bunch of Huge Social And Practical Changes when Éomer got crowned like Gondor did, now did it?) took over management of his Two Idiot Friends In Love.

And depending on how long it took Legolas and Gimli to figure shit out...well. Just picture Éomer and Faramir meeting-up periodically to talk about political logistics and brother-in-law stuff...and eventually the conversation is going to turn to mutual friends, as it does. And one of them has this absurd poet dwarf running around waxing euphoric about pretty caves, and the other this weird half-feral tree-elf gremlin prancing around singing to the flowers. And both completely and absolutely obsessed with each other...and seemingly unaware of it. Would they commiserate? Absolutely. Would they try and wingman it? Ooh, probably. Would they somehow find a way to make things even more awkward, somehow? Almost definitely. And when Legolas and Gimli finally do get together, they can commiserate over that, too.

Just. You canNOT tell me that there isn’t bucket-loads of potential here for shenanigans and nonsense. And we need to see more of that, I think.

ASOIAF Inktober Day 8 - Night’s Watch

“Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.” - The Night’s Watch Oath

"The choice is yours how much you allow it into your life, how to use it-but go any longer without mastering it, Majesty, and it will destroy you."

A chill went down Dorian's spine.

And maybe it was the open ocean, or the endless stars above them, but Dorian said, "It wasn't enough. That day ... that day Sorscha died, it wasn't enough to save her." He spread his hands on his lap. "It only wishes to destroy."

Silence fell, long enough that Dorian wondered if Rowan had fallen asleep. He hadn't dared ask when the prince himself had last slept; he'd certainly eaten enough for a starved man.

"I was not there to save my mate when she was murdered, either," Rowan said at last.

Dorian straightened. Aelin had told him plenty of the prince's history, but not this. He supposed it wasn't her secret, her sorrow to share.

"I'm sorry," Dorian said.

His magic had felt the bond between Aelin and Rowan—the bond that went deeper than blood, than their magic, and he'd assumed it was just that they were mates, and hadn't announced it to anyone. But if Rowan already had a mate, and had lost her …

Rowan said, "You're going to hate the world, Dorian. You are going to hate yourself. You will hate your magic, and you will hate any moment of peace or happiness. But I had the luxury of a kingdom at peace and no one depending upon me. You do not."

Rowan shifted the rudder, adjusting their course farther out to sea as the coastline jutted to meet them, a rising wall of steep cliffs. He'd known they were traveling swiftly, but they had to be almost halfway to the southern border— and traveling far faster than he'd realized under the cover of darkness.

Dorian said at last, "I am the sovereign of a broken kingdom. My people do not know who rules them. And now that I am fleeing ..." He shook his head, exhaustion gnawing on his bones. "Have I yielded my kingdom to Erawan? What—what do I even do from here?"

The ship's creaking and the rush of water were the only sounds. "Your people will have learned by now that you were not among the dead. It is upon you to tell them how to interpret it—if they are to see you as abandoning them, or if they are to see you as a man who is leaving to find help—to save them. You must make that clear."

"By going to the Dead Islands."

A nod. "Aelin, unsurprisingly, has a fraught history with the Pirate Lord. You don't. It's in your best interest to make him see you as an advantageous ally. Aedion told me the Dead Islands were once overrun by General Narrok and several of Erawan's forces. Rolfe and his fleet fled-and though Rolfe is now once more ruler of Skull's Bay, that disgrace might be your way in with him. Convince him you are not your father's son—and that you'll grant Rolfe and his pirates privileges."

"You mean turn them into privateers."

"You have gold, we have gold. If promising Rolfe money and free rein to loot Erawan's ships will secure us an armada in the South, we'd be fools to shy from it."

Dorian considered the prince's words.

"I've never met a pirate."

"You met Aelin when she was still pretending to be Celaena," Rowan said drily. "I can promise you Rolfe won't be much worse."

"That's not reassuring."

A huffed laugh. Silence fell between them again.

At last, Rowan said, "I'm sorry—about Sorscha."

Dorian shrugged, and hated himself for the gesture, as if it diminished what Sorscha had meant, how brave she'd been—how special.

"You know," he said, "sometimes I wish Chaol were here to help me. And then sometimes I'm glad he's not, so he wouldn't be at risk again. I'm glad he's in Antica with Nesryn." He studied the prince, the lethal lines of his body, the predatory stillness with which he sat, even as he manned their boat. "Could you-could you teach me about magic? Not everything, mean, but ... what you can, whenever we can.

Rowan considered for a moment, and then said,

"I have known many kings in my life, Dorian Havilliard. And it was a rare man indeed who asked for help when he needed it, who would put aside pride."

Dorian was fairly certain his pride had been shredded under the claws of the Valg prince.

"I'll teach you as much as I can before we arrive in Skull's Bay," Rowan said. "We may find someone there who escaped the butchers-someone to instruct you more than I can."

"You taught Aelin."

Again, silence. Then, "Aelin is my heart. I taught her what I knew, and it worked because our magics understood each other deep down. Just as our souls did. You are ... different. Your magic is something I have rarely encountered. You need someone who grasps it, or at least how to train you in it. But I can teach you control; I can teach you about spiraling down into your power, and taking care of yourself."

Dorian nodded his thanks. "The first time you met Aelin, did you know ...?"

A snort. "No. Gods, no. We wanted to kill each other." The amusement flickered. "She was ... in a very dark place. We both were. But we led each other out of it. Found a way together."

For a heartbeat, Dorian could only stare. As if reading his mind, Rowan said, "You will find your way, too, Dorian. You'll find your way out."

He didn't have the right words to convey what was in his heart, so he sighed up at the starry, endless sky. "To Skull's Bay, then."

Rowan's smile was a slash of white in the darkness. "To Skull's Bay."

Random Thoughts about High School Frenemy (EP 4):

This episode was so satisfying because we got answers we were waiting for (some we kind of knew, but it's good to be sure).

Of course, Saint is the real Tsunami. I think everyone knew he was "stronger" than what he pretends to be. I think in the past he did questionable things which lead to the fall of his friendship with Shin. Since that time he tried to redeem himself by stopping fighting, but the past won't let him go. I really like this type of character. I'm all for the redeemed "bad boy" that is trying to be better and will do everything to make amends. Saint has such soft eyes when he is talking about or to Shin, but when shit happen, you can see how they change so fast.

It was sure that the Dragon Fang gang would have no chance in their plan to hurt Shin, because everything related to him is sure to trigger Saint's desire to protect. They failed at capturing his little sister and they failed at making him cry. I think what he has been accused of is in fact Saint's doings in the past. However, I still don't understand why Saint is clueless about it. Does the Dragon Fang didn't exist 3 years ago?! So why are they convinced Shin killed Jom?! I get they mistook Shin for Saint, because people kept saying Shin is the Tsunami. However, if Saint killed someone he must remember, no?!

Which leads me to another set of questions. I also want to know why is Shin not letting people know it's untrue. He could easily blame Saint and that would go well with his supposed hatred for him. He claims all the time that he hates Saint, but he still kept until now the real identity of the Tsunami. Does he need the "aura" of being the leader of the Tsunami? For which reasons? He doesn't seem to particularly like fighting.

I also wish we learn more about the other characters. Shin and Saint's relationship is really interesting, don't get me wrong. I'm always waiting for their interactions. It's just sad that the rest of the cast remains background characters. I want to know more about Chatjen, how did the Udon Phithak's students became a tight group of friends, why is Ken having such an inferiority complex, is Eve going to kiss Airy (okay this one I made it up, but I wish to see another gl series with View and June, okay) and how Cable is fitting in the middle of all of this drama. I think if they get more time for these other characters to interact, it would lead them to find more similarities and maybe have a good impact on their strained relationship.

Will 10 episodes be enough to give all the answers I'm looking for? Sigh. We'll have to wait 7 days to have some answers.
