What if I said Will was blurred out here because he was smiling and that's not what they wanted for the shot? If they focused on Will's face here, like they did with Robin, it would send the wrong message.

In a season so focused on how sad Mike and El being together makes Will, suddenly including a moment where he was happy about them wouldn't make sense. But, they couldn't make him look upset, like Robin did, because that would make it seem like he was upset they found El (which would be out of character and bad for audience perception, which has been important to his character since s1).

Basically, they wanted to do 3 things: convey Mike and El being together as something that hurts Will, parallel Rovickie/put Will between them like usual, and convey Will is still ecstatic to see El. So, to do those things, they blurred Will out completely while standing between Mike and El. After that, they had him come into focus in a seperate shot where it's very clear he's only happy about El and not about he reunion with her boyfriend/his "crush".

That's why Will wasn't in focus in that shot. They couldn't have conveyed everything correctly if he was. That blur is what makes it a direct parallel to the Rovickie scene.

And no, they didn't just want the focus to be on Mike and El's moment. If they really wanted that Will wouldn't have been in the shot at all. They put him there on purpose when they really didn't have to, and it would've made more sense for him not to be.

Will being in focus and smiling wouldn't have conveyed the right message. Will being in focus and sad wouldn't have conveyed the right message. Will not being there at all wouldn't have conveyed the right message.

Will being there and blurred out conveyed the message they intended.

I dont think some people understand how truly awful and hellish withdrawals from some psych medications are.

My favorite tododeku is actually one-sided love and devotion from Shoto, because the thought of Shoto either gradually or suddenly realizing just how much he owes this boy his life and that he'd give the world to him- then recognizing he's just another friend and person he saved is like...so compelling to me.

He's among your closest friends. You also scared the shit out of him around first knowing each other. Soon after that he also changed your life forever for the better. You've saved your friends and others together. Your family is also fond of him.

When he came back after running away, you earnestly made sure he was okay- asking if he'd prefer to rest and wrapping him in warmth. He's so much, he's so beautiful, he's so kind and strong, and he's taught you to be so much kinder and stronger too...but you're not the only one. Far from it. You're not special, Shoto, you're just a friend.

Lately I was thinking about 0108 parallels since they're both so associated with water and I had a thought.

Haruka and Amane are both shown drowning in their MVs

Amane tries to swim back up; she believes she can still get what she reaches out for,

she believes she can still truly be a “good girl” despite how much it is destroying her and how terrified she is of the very people who enforce the cult ideals on her, to the point that their faces never appear in her MVs (in Magic, there weren't even any humans beside her to begin with, only the mascots and animals)

Haruka, on the other hand, just lets himself fall into the water; he does try to reach out for what he wants—his mother’s love—later on in the MV

but she promptly disappears, i.e he already knows it’s no use doing that. He’s accepted that he cannot become what is expected of him, he believes that he’s inherently at fault and has already accepted that (thus the inno verdict in T1 ignited a lot of inner conflict and self loathing, even though he tries to appear confident and happy and Okay)

Would you be comfortable sharing more about your Infamous MC?

i would love to 😈🙈🖤 this is gracer glass, lead singer of [tbd]

her legal name is grace robak. in kindergarten, there were three graces in her class, and going by "grace r" evolved into gracer. so she's always gone by gracer, but uses a fake surname

1000% has undiagnosed adhd. incapable of thinking ahead

is the biggest flirt & romances everyone but gets very vulnerable and sad around seven

has a very hard lesson to learn that natural talent can only take her so far and she will eventually have to get it together and take her career more seriously

was a theater kid until high school. playing belle in beauty and the beast in 8th grade remains one of her greatest accomplishments

generally over-the-top friendly and extroverted but has a mean streak. incredibly petty

hates her negligent parents. the source of her substance abuse issues

loves music but not as much as she loves attention

I’m still thinking about the Book of Life because it’s such an obvious Chekhov’s gun. I don’t recall it ever being mentioned in S1, but in S2 it is highlighted twice as a very real, serious threat, and then it’s never brought up again. It can’t just hang indefinitely in the air like that, so I expect it will be used at some point in S3.

But in a way, this threat is kind of hollow when used towards Crowley, because Heaven can’t erase him from history, and they know they can’t. The Fall of Man is such a crucial point in the Great/Ineffable Plan that I doubt they would be willing to mess with that, as much as they hate him. He’s the literal Serpent of Eden! How can the Plan proceed if there’s no one to tempt Eve? The existence of The Serpent is such a core part of the Fall of Man (both in the GO universe and in biblical lore in general) that I think it would be simply too big a risk to take.

From our point of view, Aziraphale is also crucial for the history of humanity until this point. It’s not explicitly stated, but think about it for a moment: would Adam and Eve have survived, had Aziraphale not given them his sword? There’s beasts out there, and it’s cold, and she’s expecting already. We literally see Adam fight a lion with the sword mere moments after being exiled from Eden; I don’t think their odds would have been all that good without it. It’s at least likely that Humanity has managed to survive the Fall and thrive because of Aziraphale’s actions.

Here’s the thing, though: we know this, but Heaven doesn’t, because Aziraphale has been lying to them (and to God!!!) about this ever since the Beginning. What has he done of worth in the eyes of Heaven? Sure, he was guarding the Eastern Gate, he’s been on Earth thwarting demons and all that jazz, but as far as they know, he’s never had a pivotal role in the Plan (except for. You know. Stopping Armageddon. But they didn’t want him to have that role, and they still resent him for it). There’s no reason for them to hesitate, should they be threatened by his existence, because to them he’s not necessary to carry out the will of God (as opposed to Crowley).

So yeah. I think the Book of Life will make another appearance in S3. And, if it does, I think Aziraphale is the most likely candidate as its victim.
