"But the Rhaenyra and Alicent sept meeting is fantastical because Rhaenyra's smarter than that–" Rhaenyra Targaryen has never thought anything through in her entire life let's be serious.

the ‘yuuji has a memory manipulation cursed technique’ theories are going to be atrocious but it’s going to be amazing to see this choso animated

MAJOR YOUNG ROYALS SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT!!!

the face you make when you realise that erik must've hazed august. why are the writers for this show so fucking good? at the end of the day, erik just maintained the way things were, just like (almost) everyone in this godforsaken school. poor nils :( poor august (admittedly a bit more reluctantly) :/

IF THEY DONT HUG HIM I-

[turnaboutsterror]

oh your boyfriend? yeah no sorry he’s becoming the monsterous figure he never wanted to be. yeah he’s a caricature of his former self. he’s been going on a self-sabotaging rampage and forcing others along with him into their impending demise. no yeah it was because you abandoned him on that dock during your own mental break. sorry i had to be the one to tell you

-Remembers how T’Pring looked as she watched Spock & Chapel vanish into the bathroom together after seeing them kiss on the bridge (which she knew was for a mission and didn’t hold against them but perhaps she could sense something there since they do have feelings for one another), maybe attempting to calm herself and her suspicions as she’s left alone again (and later finds she’s been left out entirely this whole time) and how she doesn’t know that Spock almost told Chapel he loved her then and there, with T’Pring in the other room waiting, and how Amanda and Sevet both think she could have more confidence in herself and how T’Pring thought that she and Spock were in this together (her holding his hand, subtly letting him know to pour slower so the tea flowers would bloom correctly, a whispered ‘well done’, the ritual is over mother) and how mere hours after she expresses to Spock how she feels: Like he doesn’t trust her, like he doesn’t care to include her in his life, how she’s trying her best to show him that she will accept him wholly, how she wants to be his partner instead of an adversary or an obstacle, after all this he’s found Chapel within the hour and is kissing her.-

pacing and giggling maniacally. jrwi pd

I don't know what I will become when the new season comes out

But I apologize in advance

[bahoreal]

ofmd s1 was character driven plot (the characters make choices, that drives the plot) s2 was plot driving the characters (the plot took precedence, the characters were reacting with not much time to develop as characters or make decisions) and imo, ofmd established itself as character driven plot kind of show and thats why it felt kind of bad and rushed, if they were given time (2 more episodes) i think they could have swung it the other way. there was a lot to put in and without sufficient time it just becomes The Plot Needs To Move

layla was going to say no. she had it all planned. she was going to tell him she loves him so much and that she sees it in their future but not right now. they're too young. but then he addresses all of her concerns without her needing to say anything and proves to her that he knows her. he knows her better than anyone. he listens to her! everything clicked and then she couldn't imagine saying anything but yes. she wasn't thinking about anything but how adorable he was rambling and how well he knew her and she knows that he's going to be there.

later she'll think about how deeply she is certain that jordan will always show up for her. and how much that influences things because they both watched their parents fall apart after losing the person they thought would be with them for the rest of their life. they both have parents who lost the love of their life, their soulmate, and now layla has hers. laura and jp lost their soulmates too soon and layla doesn't want to waste another minute without hers.

i need to be productive but i need 6 billion days to recover from tHAT EPISODE

[walleeli]

We are at the absolutely BRUTAL stage in the demon slayer season where the new episodes feel three seconds long and in that time nothing gets done and everyone gets soooo injured and killed 😭😭😭 sick and twisted reality of watching as its released…

- I kind of like that they’ve rolled the abilities hurin had in the books in with the wolfbrother powers. it feels very natural and works well with elyas’s vibe especially

- dónal finn you are going to be a MAGNIFICENT mat. the mocking imitation of all the sounds liandrin makes as she locks the door to his cell made me cackle aloud. he gets it.

- no. no it can’t be

- ELAYNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- I AM SO IN LOVE WITH HER

- this angle with liandrin is FASCINATING. this is a side to aes sedai that robert jordan only ever mentioned in passing and that even branderson barely expanded on – the long lives of channelers meaning that you outlive parents, lovers, and then your own children. this is insane

- I initially thought that vandene getting replaced by verin was very funny, but I’m not sure how much I actually like it. I’m really gonna need the show to prove to me that this angle can make verin sufficiently Weird and Unsettling

- MIN MAT FRIENDSHIP ARC!! PLEASE!!!!

- can we please talk about min’s platform heels

- WHAT WAS THAT VIEWING. HELLO.

- this scene of Selene talking about her prior relationships is VERY funny if you are a book reader

- elayne making wine with the power in her novice dorm room is literally the most in-character thing in the world. literally why didn’t rj think of this

- “I like to tinker with things.” this is SUCH a win for wondergirls nation. we are getting elayne’s bit from the word go

- oh NOOOO this is my LEAST favorite type of character conflict. the “overhearing/misinterpreting something hurtful” thing. noooo

- oh we’re doing the accepted test NOW

- forsaken lore dump!!

- MOIRAINE WOULD NOT FUCKING SAY THAT

- about twenty minutes ago i said aloud to the tv “oh man I hope alanna isn’t replacing myrelle” and may I just say. My hopes on that front are currently not very high

- HOWDY, Y’ALL

- i’ve said this before but i do not love how the sul’dam look. the damane are incredible though

- I couldn’t tell from that little snippet whether suroth has a southern accent or not but like. they would do that to us right. they’re going to have the accents. they HAVE to have them

- I absolutely adore rand’s smug little smile at logain. he knows exactly what he’s doing and it’s working out perfectly for him. what a little bastard

[tobyneedssleep]

There is. so much angst potential. but i can’t write a new fic. I can’t.
