WHAT. HELLO

[courtclover]

James: If you're looking to the west towards the sunset and you look right up here, you'll see Venus and Jupiter. They're very bright in the evening sky and they'll eventually go down towards the horizon as they set quite early in the evening. And if you look all the way up here, you'll find the moon way up here. And if you tilt your head this way and you draw a little line from the moon all the way down to the planets and down to the sun, this is where you'll find the sun below the horizon—that's called the ecliptic plane. All the planets lie along that plane. Pretty cool fun fact :)

Clover, already getting undressed: .....

A Breakdown of the Thoughtstream

I wish we had gotten to see the full breadth of the thoughtstream, but as we didn't I've assembled all the canon information we have about it, and some person speculation:

Information on the Thoughtstream from canon: Suits: Wastes, Wilds, Frosts, Mirrors [and the secret Skulls suit, which only comes up for Olala] Ax, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Parapet Ax: "Warriors Hunters and Conquest" According to Tiilei, comes up for Galahad and Marc 2: Love/Relationships? Comes up for Pix and David. 3: No appearances 4: Nature, wilderness, beasts? Comes up for the King Tyrantlizard 5: No appearances 6: No appearances 7: No appearances 8: "Temples and Protectors" According to Tiilei, comes up for Tiilei and the Garden of Graves itself 9: Magic, mystery, crossroads? Comes up for the magic guitar that creates a doorway, and the magic effect replaying Pix and David's last moments Parapet: Borders, endings? Comes up for Fort Terminus

As a refresher, cards come up as predicting the presence of something associated with the meaning of the number, from a part of the world associated with the suit. So Marc came up as the Ax of Wilds, Caroline might come up as the Ax of Frosts, Quanyii might come up as the 9 of Wastes, Silvershore might come up as the Parapet of Mirrors, etc.

So we have no information on four of the numbers, 3, 5, 6, and 7. Now, the numbered cards from the minor arcana have some consistent themes among the numbers-- and so I've consolidated them into:

3: Companions, achievements, victors

5: Loss, defeat, loneliness

6: Leadership, order, wealth

7: Liars, fears, dreams [the ephemeral]

Which gives us:

Ax: Warriors, Hunters, and Conquest

2: Lovers and Relationships

3: Comradery, Achievement, and Victory

4: Nature, Wilderness, and Beasts

5: Loss, Defeat, and Loneliness

6: Leadership, Order, and Wealth

7: Liars, Fears, and Dreams

8: Temples and Protectors

9: Magic, Mystery, and Crossroads

Parapet: Borders and Endings

All of this for my fic where this may be relevant

[thesecondcitadel]

funny to me how the holiday specials have been becoming more and more plot relevant to both storylines but have retained the silliness levels of non canon joke episodes. echidnacht is absolutely necessary to the second citadel silvershore set of arcs and in it ale duels a monster named "the wolf" because he's always wanted to fight a werewolf but it turns out the wolf just called himself that cause he's a loner and he's actually a werebeaver, which totally messes with ale's dryad-based powers. the april fool is clearly doing some work to set up juno s5 and it's about juno having a multiverse hallucination where he's trying to catch a crook call the fucking april fool. the intended read for these episodes is probably meant to be "these events broadly happened but this is a sillyified version of what really went down in-universe" but I'm simply choosing to take them at face value.

[missyadventures]

So I got into Second Citadel *hard* over the last few days. I’ve just caught up and just…

*Spoilers for Second Citadel Season 5 finale ahead*

“something monstrous in his eyes”

Abnormally fast healing (for a human at any rate)

Miracles, as shown from Tristian’s words to the Silvershore spirit, are implied to be magic. The line “that which we call miracle” and Arum’s protests that “humans rename everything” line up a little too well.

Within this world poetry seems to have power. The shaping words of the petrichorus, Enoc’s prophecy, Tristian’s words to the Silvershore spirit, they’re all poetry. Further Tristian’s assertions that poetry and things of beauty are purely the purview of man seem rather meaningful in the context of the next scene.

Fair bit of knowledge about his father, nothing really on his second parent.

Something’s suss with Damien gang.

[bug-clan]

Conspiracies are taking over.

[blue-mood-blue]

There’s a possibility that Damien won’t go home next season.

To be fair, the possibilities for Second Citadel next season are so many, and so varied, and I still don’t know what to make of that ending so I’m not sure any prediction I make will be rooted in anything but vibes - but vibes are what I’ve got, and lots of time for predictions. And I think there’s a chance that Arum and Rilla will have a hard time convincing him.

He spent the majority of last season following Sir Tristan, and while that’s not a decision he wanted to make, it is a decision he ultimately made - repeatedly. Whether or not anyone blames him for it, I have a feeling that’s going to stick with Damien, especially after his assertion in the finale that “I always have a choice.” When he has a chance to reflect on that, will he be forgiving of himself? Maybe. But he hasn’t been lately, about a lot of things.

In the end, he also had to make the choice to coax the being in the tower to hatch. Putting aside how it seemed like Damien, specifically, was brought to the tower for that purpose - he talked to that being. He made promises. He had a part in… whatever it was that came after, disastrous as it was.

All of this is to say, there’s a strong possibility that Damien is going to feel extremely responsible for whatever fallout there is for what happened at the tower. I think he’s the type of person who would want to fix it - or help fix it, or help with recovery efforts, or whatever the case may be. I think he’d feel beholden to his word, too; he made a promise to make the world a better place. I didn’t get the impression that those were empty words.

So, when Arum and Rilla find him, finally… I think Damien might want to stay. Or feel like he needs to stay, even if he’s heartsick for home. Arum is already pushing his limits, he’ll have to go back to the swamp; I can’t see Damien being okay with him making the return trip, or having to stay there, alone. None of them are going to like it, but they’re in a difficult position, especially if the damage has spread farther than Silvershore and Titan’s Bloom is at risk.

Arum may get the questionable opportunity of sharing something Rilla has years of experience with - waiting to see if Damien ever makes it home.

screaming, crying, clawing at the walls about the Caroline-Olala dynamic this season

Olala betraying Caroline's trust by lying to her about Galahad being in Silvershore vs Caroline betraying Olala's trust by trying to get her out of Silvershore against her will........ Cinematic Parallels.............

I know it's been hinted at for a long time... but is it just me, or are Paulo's feelings for Daisy coming out of nowhere? I always thought their interactions prior to the current chapter were platonic at most with Daisy being the one developing romantic feelings for Paulo. Am I missing something? (1/2)

They've always been pining for one another but their insecurities and happenstance tend to keep them away and thinking the other is unattainable. They are absolutely compatible, they're both good friends who look out for each other.

Paulo acknowledged his interest in Daisy first back in Intervention when David persuaded him with a hypothetical where he had to choose between her or Tess. Despite all the running after Tess he'd been doing chapters before, the winner was Daisy, of whom he had never attempted to womanize once because of his belief she didn't deserve him at his worst. She's always been his main means of support and accepted him for all of his faults.

He likely would have gone ahead and spoke with Daisy afterwards once they returned from Silvershore, likely becoming a pair, had it not already been that during that period of his absense, Abbey had snuck in and denied us of potential.

We could be sure that Daisy had always had a thing for Paulo too which probably went back to when she first met him. There isn't anything that really makes that as clear but we can attest that Daisy has always liked boys, we saw interest and admiration building up over time quite a bit during the very early chapters and even more so once her relaitonship with Abbey was over when she could put more thought towards her best friend.

Admitting her interest might've taken comparitively longer because as far as she could tell, Paulo hasn't ever shown interest in her, only going after Lucy, which sheds this uneasy light that existed despite their amicable relationships.

Is it coming out from nowhere again? Not at all! All of the moments you're looking for is when Daisy's relationship with Abbey starts showing signs of trouble, the moments specifically are in Guest of Honour, Moments apart and Featured Attraction.

As far as Paulo's sexuality being explored...isn't that happening in this chapter? (Future LackLuster: Actually no, it's relationships. Should've given it more thought, past me.) Paulo has technically admitted that he doesn't see either James or Mike as potentials, so even though it's not happening, he's seriously considered it.

I think Paulo's done enough discovery of his sexuality, we've had chapters like Boy Toy, Golden Hour and Fair game where he either considered the possibility or gushed over Mike. I don't think there's anything more that could really be learned. He's accepting of this fact now though. He still has an eye out for Daisy, more so too since all the distractions, James, Mike, Lucy are all unattainable.

I'm finding myself mostly warmed up to Paulo x Daisy these days but I could imagine why people might hate it as well (Do give me your reason!). I have also reached the point where I feel like this needs to really hurry up and be a thing or die already. It's been dangled over the story's head like a carrot for such a long time and Paulo's constant "Nah, I'm not ready to admit my love for Daisy" has me all.

PLEASE HAVE THEM KISS.
