Kristen’s plan to build a following based off people shipping gods is actually a really good call because I too would follow these lesbians based solely on how perfect they are for each other. I mean look at them

Of course Craig went viral for that

are they lovers? worse, I think they might be foils

Best moment in mismag2 that GENUINELY no one is talking about that drives me insane

Evan: *mind controlled nonsense*

Sam: So you want me to let Axelby Killoran do whatever he wants to me?

Evan:......... 🤨😬🫤😠 Can I get another saving throw?

Anyway they're the friends ever and I love them

I am now convinced Brennan Lee Mulligan is a samxevan shipper. He licked her blood? He wants to be her dog?? Her good boy?!?? He knows exactly what he's doing with those shoulder pats.

As someone who is also in the "do people only like me because of how I make them feel" camp, let me just say Sam definitely appreciates how honest Evan is with what he's feeling at all times. Sam's de-escalation tactics are really tied to her presence and honesty in the moment, and that sometimes gets conflated with just being nice (which is good ofc but also superficial/surface level).

In the same way Sam isn't just being nice to Evan, there's a directness that she doesn't get to experience often because people feel a need to match her energy. She can just say the truth to Evan and he can respond in kind and they can both trust (or learn to trust) that the other isn't just performing a social script. That's just as beneficial to Sam as it is for Evan

brennan had to ship gilear hundreds of miles away bc emergency backup interim principal arcturus grix would have short-circuited after one (1) interaction with him

Okay but seriously. This is why I sometimes get lost in the fanfiction black hole because why on Earth not read a new flavor of my favorite ship?

This book is so meta and brilliant.

Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan

[ominous-horse-noises]

main takeaway from certain fan reactions to the finale is this:

the final scene with ankarna was so meaningful to the bad kids' arcs and how they made peace with being wronged by people they loved, and if all you can focus on is that the rat grinders didn't get much screentime, then you don't love dimension20 and you don't love this world: you want to be playing your own hs themed dnd campaign and you're mad the oc versions of the rat grinders you made up in your head acted ooc. these are not your characters and this is not their story.

i'm so fucked up by buddy dawn oh my god, dying by his party members blade, kristen immediately trying everything she could to revive him, kristen who has been there herself, kristen who has died and seen the same god buddy will see, kristen didn't even hesitate to try to save him

oh my god i need them to have a very long deep conversation about religion

And if my lover will not heed it

Take my voice and take my spirit

Leave me weakened and dig my hole

Only my lover, not I, can keep my soul

[lovecolibri]

The growth from K saying her and Evan didn't work out because it's hard telling and showing someone how much you love them and having them not believe you, to seeing Evan a couple years after that breakup tell Sam that it was an unfair assumption of him to make that she wasn't being sincere and genuine in her kindness to him, and that he used to think love would fix things but that alone isn't enough and he does need to work on himself and accepting the love his friends give to him.

And even then!! The growth isn't done because he's still trying to adjust HIMSELF into making sense in other people's lives, instead of adjusting his THINKING to accept the love freely given, which Sam reminds him of. It's just so beautiful to see the journey and it's not complete yet, Evan still has some work to do, but he's not doing it alone and it will ultimately be so healing for him 😭😭😭

My favorite Evan Kelmp ship so far in MisMag2 is no ships. Baby boy is still struggling to believe anyone even wants him around. He’s so unused to safety and comfort he carries all of his belongings with him and barely sleeps. He’s barely begun to heal from a lifetime of magical and non-magical trauma. Maybe we just let him do that and worry about smoochin later.

So every gay person saw Cinderella and Rosmund and were like oh they're in love right. Like that wasn't just me right.
