#the part to Camilla was:

[tiffanyachings]

obsessed with whatever corona and camilla have going on in ntn btw. 'she hates it when i use millie now.' 'my soul's mine. you give yourself away to anyone who doesn't want you.' 'i've kept your secrets before...you know that.' 'come back with me. leave the facility. before the negotiator arrives, come back with us.' the way corona introduces herself as cam's partner because she knows it would make her furious. ‘maybe you could be the one to melt her icy heart.’ the exes vibes are off the CHARTS but then when nona analyses the shit out of corona she says that actually all corona wants is for camilla to cuddle her ‘but not in a sexy way’ which has me poking them with a stick even MORE. i need to study them like bugs

y'know, probably because i hate simple power dynamics a lot, but i really love how weird and complicated power dynamics are in tlt.

like, in gtn, harrow makes the assumption that coronabeth is "the dominant" in her relationship with ianthe, but we as the audience know that ianthe has power over her because of coronabeth's secret, and coronabeth often ends up coming across as more submissive in her interactions with ianthe.

harrow holds a significant amount of power over gideon, but gideon also holds more power over her than she herself is aware of, because all of gideon's actions affect harrow.

john is the most powerful character in the entire series, but his personality is so docile and non-confrontational that even as god, he's more likely to obey than demand.

then, and thank you tamsyn muir so much for writing them the way you did, there's characters like cam and pal, who seem to have no power dynamic at all. they're equals. camilla obeys palamedes, but not because she has to, rather because their goals almost always align. palamedes takes camilla's advice and supports her in any way he can, not because he's afraid of her or she holds power over him, but rather because he trusts her to know what to do. they work as one.

that's why paul can exist as the perfect lyctor, because they're made up of two souls working together, rather than one soul consuming or suppressing another.

i cannot get over how funny the bit in the secret history is where richard drinks tap water and charles sees him and just goes 'oh my god, where did you find gin?' succeed immediately by henry washing down aspirin and his (migraine?) pills with whiskey. bold move for someone who doesn't know basic chemistry

I also think it's nice that they made Camilla a sci-fi nerd and Luz a fantasy nerd. They're genres that are often seen as completely opposing one another by many people, which is what we're led to believe about Luz and Camilla in season 1. Luz is silly, nerdy, frequently in over her head and irresponsible and loves the boiling isles. We're led to believe that Camilla is the normal, conventional TV mother who'd be disgusted and terrified by the demon realm if she saw it.

Then yesterday's lie gives us a lot of nuance to this, and we realize that while they're still very different and now on opposite sides of a conflict, both mother and daughter are incredibly kind people (seen in their treatment of Vee) who love each other but struggle to make the right choices without hurting one another.

Then thanks to them drops all this Camilla characterization and we realize! She was a nerd too this whole time! The wedge between Camilla and Luz is motivated by past traumas and grief! and for the future has them switching sides on the central conflict of where Luz should stay (Camilla now wanting Luz in the demon realm because it's what's best for her, and Luz believing that staying in the human realm is what's best for the people she loves). They finally talk and realize that, like Willow pointed out earlier in the ep, the two are so alike. Camilla reveals that she's a secret nerd too! That she had a hard time growing up and accidentally hurt Luz trying to save her from the same fait! It's so important to me that Camilla keeps calling Luz a good witch. It's affirming her interests and goals, reminding her that she's just as good as the hero of her favorite story. And Luz finally only realizes that she wants to be understood...when she's finally able to understand her mom. When she realizes that the woman she loves and admires is just as much of a nerdy screw-up as her and that there's hope for her. Her palismen ends being multiple animals at once, showing both how Luz making unconventional choices (like carving an egg) keeps paying off for her and how her potential is limitless now that she finally knows and accepts her own goals, but to me it also reminds of the fact that Camilla is a vet and passed a love of all the weird and unliked animals (like wolves, possums, snakes, etc) to her.

It's just so so sweet and it really shows how much love and thought the crew put into this mother daughter storyline (FTF haters are not welcome on this page, respectfully). I can't wait to see how both of these misunderstood but healing women (who radiate "little/big sister" and "mom" energy respectively) are gonna interact with a) the lonely, easily manipulated and well intentioned but ignorant collector (a mix of both their interests as a magic being with a space motif! I just realized that lol) and b) the nasty puritan white man who's really obsessed with conforming to society's norms even when it literally doesn't benefit him at all.

Anyway, I believe in noceda( AND clawthorne 👀) family supremacy 💙

“And if beauty is terror,” said Julian, “then what is desire? We think we have many desires, but in fact we have only one. What is it?”

“To live,” said Camilla.

“To live forever,” said Bunny, chin cupped in palm.

headcanon that the Grand Lysis did not inherently heal Camilla Hect's body's incompatibility with necromancy, it was merely arrested secondary to gaining access to Lyctoral Well aka automatic healing, and Paul now exists in an eternal state of dying and being revived

[reflection-s-of-stars]

Something something “I don’t let go, it’s my one thing,” something something “Blood of Eden has asked Camilla Hect to stop carrying the bones,” something something “she fought as if her heart had exploded,” something something “love and freedom don’t coexist,” something something “it was good, we were happy” only after combat, something something mad dog Camilla Hect

Don’t you hate that post-bacchanal bout of “Laryngitis”?

caminoka fans where you at

We will make this end, and this beginning, together.
