#season 3 love triangle

My favorite part about the Debling plot was Penelope and Cressida doing the most over there top cat-fighting in order to win him over, not because they genuinely liked the guy, but because they wanted to escape their families and also lowkey just hate each other.

THIS!! This is what I've been trying to tell everyone, put in actual words!!

Season 3 love triangle should have been Pierce and Chloe competing for Lucifer. I said what I said. Not only is Piercingstar a better ship name than Deckerpierce, but Pierce and Chloe had virtually no chemistry together. It hurt my eyes to see them in a relationship because that whole ordeal was just not it.

This is gonna be a long post so if you're just here for the shit posts, feel free to scroll past.

It would have made much more sense to have the season 3 love triangle this way because Lucifer already had chemistry with both Pierce and Chloe throughout the early season. We already had 2 seasons of Lucifer and Chloe getting closer and even having romantically intimate moments so there was a strong foundation for that possible relationship.

Although Lucifer and Pierce had less time together, they had quickly established a strong relationship based on their shared experiences and motives. Obviously I'm gonna bring up the married couple episode because it's perfect evidence of what I'm talking about. Aside from the domestic fluff, the two made a great team on the field. Their chemistry together was so good that they managed to convince a whole town that they were having a marital spat when in reality they were arguing about how to kill Pierce permanently. Lucifer and Pierce proved that they have good communication in this episode, each apologising for their mistake and setting the boundaries of their partnership.

Not to mention, the jealousy between love rivals was also present way before Chloe and Pierce got together. Of course, I'm talking about when Chloe was jealous of Pierce and Lucifer working together without her on various cases. She even ranted to Dan about this because it had bothered her so much. Being rivals with Pierce for Lucifer's love would also add on to the workplace rivalry Chloe already had with Pierce, expanding their relationship beyond just being a plot device. Additionally, this would have been an excellent opportunity of self reflection for Chloe where she would be able to realise the value of her relationship with Lucifer outside the workplace and within it.

Season 3 could still more or less go the same way in terms of Pierce's character development. We know that once Pierce established an emotional connection with someone he valued highly enough to sacrifice his goals for, the curse was broken. This sacrifice could easily have been for Lucifer instead of Chloe and I'll elaborate on why. Originally, Pierce broke up with Chloe before she could confess her love because he couldn't bring himself to make her go through the pain of losing him, even if it meant he could never break the curse. This form of self sacrifice resulted in the curse being broken nonetheless, meaning that it wasn't Chloe herself responsible it was Pierce's emotional development. As such, this plot device would be applicable in the case where Pierce was in love with Lucifer instead of Chloe. For example, Pierce realising that Lucifer cared for Chloe above all else and thus giving up the chance to be with him, essentially sacrificing his own happiness in exchange for Lucifer's. Or simply and in the same way with Chloe, Pierce could prevent Lucifer from falling in love with him so that he would never go through the heartbreak of losing him.

This love triangle would serve each character much better than the original. First, it wouldn't reduce Chloe's character to simply being a love interest to be passed around between men in the show. Secondly, it would highlight Lucifer's bisexuality in a more meaningful way beyond just having male lovers by showing that Lucifer can establish an emotional connection with both a man and a woman. Finally, that whole character 360 Pierce went through to give us that God awful finale wouldn't have happened. Which would mean that Charlotte survives and goes to live the life she deserves with Dan. Maze doesn't become a tool for Cain to manipulate and has the chance to reflect on her behaviour without the need to endanger and betray all her friends. It would also allow Lucifer to prove his real identity to Chloe on his own terms. Essentially meaning that we wouldn't have to suffer through the first half of season 4 and we could get Chloe's true and meaningful reaction to Lucifer's truth.

In conclusion, Piercingstar and Deckerstar >>>>

What are your thoughts on this?

I know that the "... She loves you... And so do I, brother!" from Vax to Percy was, very clearly, in a brotherly/family sense...

But this is every non-canon shipper dream come true!!! As a Perc'ildan shipper, this moment made me so happy, and is sooo going to inspire me to make art of them 💖

(Also Percy jumping in Vax style and complaing about "Vax makes it looks so easy", and Vax shooting a gun, like, how are not more people talking about these moments?)

I have been awake all night and I think, since we got to follow Zuko from S1 even though he didn’t join the Gaang until the bitter end, we should’ve gotten the same for Toph. In between season 1 and early season 2 plots, we’d occasionally cut to this earth kingdom noble family for seemingly no reason.

Ok they are rich and they have the daughter. Alright she’s blind that’s interesting. The Beifongs will comment about canon events and their daughter is quiet and perfect in the background. Then one episode we see her earthbend something small, intriguing. Also intriguing she only looks helpless and lost when other people are around. We get more solo perspectives of her, she’s a bit more coarse away from her parents. Her earthbending continues to be used secretly, impressive but not monumental. We suspect she’ll be similar to Katara, an eager, untrained bender who learns as she teaches Aang. We wait with anticipation for this vulnerable girl to see the world and own her power.

And then they drop The Blind Bandit episode and every episode that follows are unchanged and oh. Oh. Now we are really meeting Toph.

A Season 3 Thread of Reactions

Eloise & Colin> any other sibling duo this szn

I literally screamed "NOOOOOO" at my screen when Pen penned her Whistledown paper in ep. 1 and we saw a flash of Colin Bridgerton, "PENELOPE WHAT DID YOU DO" in the garden, and breathed a sigh of relief when I realized what she actually wrote. (#I thought it was about last year's Featherington ball #but realistically who would really care for the Featherington girl)

Listen lady danbury fucked Violet's father; I mean it's only fair Violet fuck Lady Danbury's brother.

OH FUCK. OH- They don't kno- Portia never taught- PHILIPPA, WHAT EVEN HAVE YOU BEEN DOING?! (when I tell you I was shocked)

Francesca and John standing in silence was so cute, ok.

Violet and Colin are perfect! That was the sweetest, most simplistic, yet beautiful conversation. "I hope she is as well." Kill me, now! OMG the way she looked at him watching Pen on the dance floor

Thinking about how the entire reason Zane went along with Wu was to try to find out more about his past. Thinkinggg about how he reached his true potential after finding his father's workshop. A big chunk of his character arc in s2 focused on how badly having no family left affected him. Then he found out how father was alive and he was sooo happy... and then his father died. And then Zane died too.

[nonbinarykai]

Ok but can we please talk about how absolutely insane s3 was for Kai

Like

His best friend tried to steal his body (comic), his mentor got turned into a cyborg and tried to murder him, his brother gets kidnapped, he DIES, survives THREE CARS blowing up (although tbf that one is kinda his fault), gets captured by pythor and is hung up by the wrists, almost dies AGAIN, gets stuck in space, has an alien shove him in a hole then replace him (comic), and then his best friend DIES.

All in the span of like a week 😭😭😭

Like damn no wonder he became the red shogun I would have done the same tbh

Debling may be bowing to her from a polite distance and grabbing her waist unexpectedly and writing on her dance card from time to time, but who’s the one she’s danced with at countless balls without having to ask, and who has told her he’d always watch over her specifically and her family so that no harm comes to them?? who’s the one making her breath hitch at the sudden contact of fingertips on skin?? who’s making her chest rise at the mere touch of two fingers skimming across the edge of her collar and audibly gasp? who’s reaching for his hand to hold on to while he continues his light touches and she gazes into his eyes with an intensity that could turn the burning sun itself into mere ashes?? her oblivious himbo of a man best friend that’s who! colin bridgerton you will always be the winner

WAITING FOR HIM: SYDNEY AND LUCA

He's definitely coming for Sydney

[freddos616]

finding out francesca is gay is fine but finding out she might have comphet does break my heart a little.

[sapphichyperopic]
