#their dynamic in this season is killing it

[sillylittlgaythings]

I have a bone to pick with the Yellowjackets fandom, more specifically with the twitter community

im just gonna rant here for a bit. oh. my. god. you guys are UNBEARABLE and ANNOYING.

first: “why did they pair shauna with melissa and not with mari/akilah/gen/x/y/z?”

because melissa was a BLANK character with 0 meaningful conversations with shauna in s1 and 2. shauna already doesn’t like mari. “so now you’re her protector? a little late for that” thats mari to shauna after jackie’s death and the girls wanting to burn her body, they could not make mari into the wide-eye girl infatuated with shauna like they did melissa it. wouldn’t. make. sense. (same thing with gen, she always takes mari’s side and it would be kinda interesting to see this dynamic play out, but anyway).

shauna needed someone she had no previous feelings (good or bad) for and that also includes akilah. she was the one helping shauna giving birth, calming her down and trying to save her and the baby, akilah already had a personality being developed in s2 and clearly had a different plot direction for s3, while melissa didn’t. shauna already had her interaction with akilah and has a perception of her.

melissa was a perfect vessel for shauna’s girlfriend. no meaningful interactions before. no attachment. shauna is able to create melissa the way she wanted in her had, make her a replacement for jackie, use her as she sees fits because she doesn’t know melissa beyond that

second: “why did they get rid off lottie for melissa/they fired simone to afford hillary swank”

thats NOT how the industry works. that’s not how budget works, they’re not taking payment from one actress to give it to another, also hillary’s fees (an award winning actress) are much higher than simone’s (an somewhat unknown actress, love her but it’s true) if it actually worked that way it would made more sense to get rid off melanie or christina, the biggest and most expensive actresses in the adult tml along side with hillary now.

“but lottie’s story wasn’t done” one of the main points of the series is that every death was unfair. the people who died in the crash was unfair. laura lee exploding wasn’t fair. jackie frozen to death wasn’t fair. javi drowning wasn’t fair. nat dying from an overdose after battling addiction and finally getting clean is not fair. every death was unfair. i do think it would be interesting seeing more of lottie’s character but lottie was NOT killed off for melissa, let’s be realistic here.

third: “why are so many shauna scenes?” she’s the main character!!! she’s the one we follow throughout the show, of course there are other principal characters but shauna is the protagonist and the main plot will be around her in some way

fourth: “it’s so weird that tai is the only POC to survive” that’s not true, both lottie and travis were survivors and people of color, yes they’re dead now, but they are still survivors. we also don’t know how many made it out of the wilderness, the 8 survivors theory is just that, a theory. mari, akilah and gen might have made it out and choose to hid/fake their deaths like melissa did.

i do think the treatment of non-white characters and actors in the industry needs to be discussed further and deeply, i’m not saying non-white fans shouldn’t complain about things they see as unfair and wrong, i’m just pointing things out and not speaking over them. i’m not saying they’re complains are justified, but it’s not the intention of this post to discuss this issue specifically.

i’m just so tired of people complaining about every. single. damn. thing this season, of course some criticisms are valid and some conversations are importante to have, but it’s just so annoying to see people nitpicking every little thing about s3 everytime a new episode drops and wondering why certain plots were finish, not understanding why things were written like this or that or etc feels like this is you guys’ first time watching a show with one episode per week like WAIT, BE PATIENT, we already know there are 5 seasons planned so it’s obvious some things will be left unknown or a mystery.

yes it’s nice to dissect a show and analyse the writing and the characters, but it feels like some people either don’t actually like the show or are to stuck in their AO3 fanfic dynamics to enjoy the actual show and characters.

anyway, have a good day guys and enjoy the the season finale next week.

thinking abt hellhounds. about how mapicc said he lost flame, and how this means flame mattered enough to mention when talking abt all that he had lost after losing zam. about "i thought me and flame were buds." about how flame would login for mapicc and hasnt rly played the server (afaik) since betraying mapicc bc he no longer HAS someone to login for. how being betrayed by flame for the mace was the straw the broke the camels back after a season of losses for mapicc.

do you think flame regrets it? do you think being mapicc's friend meant anything to him? him betraying was always inevitable bc mane and mapicc have always Been enemies and hes more loyal to mane then he is to anyone else— but do you think it was easy for him to agree to it when mane asked him to help logout trap? do you think he got closer to mapicc with the intent to betray him, or was it a decision he was forced to make AFTER getting closer to him? did he hesitate, even for a moment? or was it as easy as picking up a sword?

like idk this betrayal upset and frustrated me for a number of reasons, but all i can think abt when i think about it is how leaving was one thing, but betrayal truly was just twisting the knife.

mapicc had expected flame to fight him and kill him with mane, and he knew that if flame had made that decision all he couldve done was take the death. in fact, they both knew mapicc stood no chance against flame if flame had chosen to leave him, yet flame made the ACTIVE DECISION to stay by mapicc's side only to betray him in a cruel and uneccesary way. getting closer w him only to sell him to mane simply bc mane asked it of him. and the fact that flame had gotten closer to mapicc and assured him that they were together Before killing him makes it all the more painful idk.

like i know the betrayal was expected, and hellhounds were very realistically doomed from the start so its silly that i got so attached but their relationship and dynamic became smt i gen got attached to— esp since flame was kind of all mapicc had when he felt like he lost zam both times and when the empire had left him all alone :')

The funniest part to me about the whole viggo thing is that people think viggo was such a big villain. I mean he was evil, but not drago level evil, just save my business evil. Like can you imagine just going about your business peacefully and suddenly one day a teenager from some distant land tries to mess up your business and change it to their wants and needs. And if that doesnt happen, they declare war. And i get that hiccup was just trying to save dragons but to viggo it would've seemed a lot like colonisation or something. And hiccup didnt even try to peacefully negotiate with viggo like he did with drago. He just straight up went to war. Point is in the vigcup dynamic i think hiccup would be the freak and viggo would be the peacekeeper one. What are your thoughts.

I feel like it’s disingenuous to blame all this on Hiccup. Ryker is the one that showed up on Dragon’s Edge, took Stormfly, and then left Astrid to die. I think the steps Hiccup took in Night of the Hunters made sense and were in character for him in that situation. Ryker had already shown that he wasn’t interested in peace, especially not after luring in and capturing most of the Dragon Riders.

And Viggo is such a big villain though. There were so many points throughout the series that prove just how bad of a person he is. He’s not doing things for the better of his tribe, but for the better of himself. In his first episode we see him sentence a man to death for stealing from him for the sole reason that he didn’t have enough food. So not only do we see Viggo willing to kill over something, but we see that he’s not even taking proper care of those under him! Then there’s the Scourge of Odin. It’s not clear how the infection truly started at that point, but what we do know is that Viggo was using it for profit. He was going to extort his own dying people for money. And that? Well, that’s pretty damn twisted in my opinion.

It’s like I said in another ask recently: Viggo truly was a monster, and that is what makes his redemption all the more impactful. Hiccup didn’t coax innate goodness out of someone who had it in them the whole time, but instead planted a seed that we see grow within Viggo during the last two seasons.

I feel like it’s a massive mischaracterization to call Viggo any sort of peacekeeper or to act like he didn’t actually like the business of dragon hunting. We were shown many times on screen that he’s sadistic and, well, a villain. He toys with people and throws them away when he’s done with them, something he made very clear in the scene in which he’s playing live Maces and Talons with Dagur.

I love Viggo dearly, mostly because he’s bad. Been a villain lover since age 3 and I’m sure not stopping now! And Viggo is most certainly a villain, the best written one in the franchise.

[arcane-ish]

I mean, I don't think that's a very controversial take? Maybe it's because I was around season 1 where there was no trace of a happy AU and it was generally understood to be a dark ship?

Outside of Mel and Jayce (or Mel and any of her fanon partners if you think about it) I think all of the popular ships have done some amount of violence on each other, and a good chunk has made more or less serious attempts to kill each other (Ekko and Jinx, Jinx and Silco, Vi and Jinx, Jayce and Viktor).

I do get that people react differently when a couple having a romantic relationship before. Hence people reacting more to Cait hitting Vi in 2x03 then to Ekko hitting Jinx im 1x07.

But I think there's kind of limits to that approach, too?

By that logic you are not allowed to ship Jayce and Viktor as young scientists because Jayce tried to kill Viktor and Viktor tried to mind rape Jayce in season 2?

In the end, people have different ways of handling it. So people headcanon that Zaundads weren't a couple when they were younger and only became a couple when they made up in the AU.

Or they embrace that a couple that in the end also contains Silco killing Vander's friend, abducting Vander and stabbing Vander (and moving into his house and raising his kid) is a dark ship.

The point of a ship isn't necessarily that it's good or healthy but that it's interesting. Some use it to explore darker topics and make it even darker than it is in canon. For some it's less "is it good that Silco would forgive Vander" and more "is it realistic and in character and what kind of dynamic would that give them?"

But yeah, I don't think people being unaware that Zaundads is a darkship is much of an issue? It's very much a ship for dark and adult themes and I would like to think on that alone that it doesn't attract much of a "too young to understand" audience.

(remember: a lot of s1 Zaundads was proving there was something there at all. Some "wait, am I crazy or is there something homoerotic going on" rather than driving that the there that was there was necessarily good or healthy)

I won't hold your hand when I say this but if you ship young zaundads you also think Vander committed an extreme act of domestic violence against Silco in that river. I don't hate the ship though. I just think it's important we all admit that. And that in the "perfect world," it means Silco went back to his abuser and forgave him.

All I'm saying is it's a more complicated ship than we give it credit for. Lots of potential for nuance.

Outline for my Mustafa rewrite project (season 2, post return from Edirne)

Mustafa comes back from Edirne after 3 years. He hasn’t seen anyone from his family other than his mother during this time. Meanwhile, Suleiman, Hurrem, and their children have become their own little family—a tight unit. The children are too young to know about the fratricide law, so they are carefree. Mustafa feels excluded from this, like he’s lost his place in his own family, and begins to grow resentful and fearful. He starts regretting his decision to leave.

His identity is built around the idea that he is the next sultan, and this starts to profoundly affect his relationship with his brothers—especially Mehmet, who is now growing out of childhood and is Suleiman's favorite. Mustafa and Mehmet are still close, but a rivalry begins to grow between them. Mustafa starts to feel threatened by Mehmet’s increasing prominence and ease within their father’s orbit, while Mehmet begins to sense that Mustafa no longer sees him as his dear little brother, but as a future rival. This shifting dynamic creates both sadness and tension in both of them, but they try to hide it from each other

Craving validation and his father’s admiration, this is where he truly starts going out of his way to impress the janissaries and important statesmen, notably during the campaign they go to together, oblivious to how this actually makes Suleiman more and more wary of him. During the campaign, we see him making reckless decisions to play the hero, but it’s not portrayed in the positive light the show usually uses for these kinds of moments.

During his confrontation scene with Hurrem, where he tells her she ruined his childhood, she tells him that if that’s how he feels, he should go say it to his father—after all, he’s the one who chose her. She rightly calls out the fact that he’s too scared to confront Suleiman and is scapegoating her, and that deepens his resentment toward her. That said, I don’t want him to be evil, so he does express discomfort and empathy when he sees that her face has been burnt, and it leads to a rare nice moment between them

Mustafa would actually be very enthusiastic about the marriage with Aybige, regardless of his personal feelings toward Efsun, since it would allow him to gain the support of the Crimean Khans and make him more powerful. He doesn’t concern himself with what Aybige thinks about it, which illustrates his selfishness and gives more weight to Aybige’s motivation to run away from the wedding. She never actually agrees to it either (I hate the trope of a woman who feels scorned marrying another out of spite), and it’s essentially imposed on her. We can also make a point about how wives are expected to be faithful, but he's still allowed to have his harem, something that makes Aybige deeply uncomfortable. Also explore the fact that foreign princesses that became legal wives of sultan were not supposed to bear children, with Aybige feeling conflicted about it (she does not necessarily want kids but doesn't like the idea of not having a choice)

Mustafa is very happy when Suleiman makes Hurrem apologize to him, it’s the highlight of his week (rare instance of validation from his father), and he rubs it in her face more than once, which only makes Hurrem more resentful of him. Their rivalry starts amping up a bit

We do NOT get Cihangir falling ill right after Hurrem poisons Mustafa because I DESPISE the writers’ insinuation here, it would be two separate storyline, happening at different times.

During Suleiman’s illness, Mustafa is a lot more conflicted about what to do. He’s in a state of confusion, torn between his mother’s pressure and his ambition and his fears and love for his father. His siblings are still children, and the idea of killing them repulses him, but at the same time he wonders if he truly has a choice. He is not okay—his scenes here are very Hamlet-like in my mind

Mustafa is actually furious when Aybige and Bali Bey escape. Hurrem has the news spread throughout the palace and beyond, and he feels humiliated and wants revenge. He treats Aybige badly, saying some cruel things to her, and then has Bali Bey executed (which is how I get rid of this man yeah Mustafa!!), idea inspired by Credit : The Bali Bey idea was inspired by a comment from El_Coco_005_on Reddit

He also hoped that being ruthless would garner his father’s approval, and while he is actually right that Suleiman would have done the same thing, Suleiman’s hypocritical ass is pissed that his son killed his loyal servant and resents him for it. But if he hadn't done it, Suleiman would have thought Mustafa was weak, so he couldn’t really win here.

The Efsun storyline stays the same.

Mustafa’s revenge on Hurrem doesn’t end with that one setup where he makes her fear for her children (which remains a highlight of his character); it turns into a full-fledged rivalry where both try to hurt each other. Notably, Mustafa continues to try and use her children in this rivalry, but at some point, little Selim notices and starts distancing himself from him. Mehmet is also uncomfortable with some of Mustafa’s insinuations about his mother.

Fatma would not be his second favorite because she would already be dead, but I do find it interesting to have him choose a favorite who hates Hurrem. I would pick one who wasn’t involved in something as drastic as burning Hurrem’s face, but one of the concubines who made life difficult for her in the harem and is close to his mother

I actually think it would be interesting if Mahidevran sought Mustafa’s help during her financial difficulties, and he decides to borrow money from other sources—like important families who want to please the future ruler. Since Mustafa still has to be trusted enough to be sent to Manisa, I would make Ibrahim clean up his mess after him, so his father doesn't learn about his implication

This is where we start making Mustafa’s entitlement to the throne an actual central theme of his character. The moment where he tells his little brothers he will become the sultan, even though they all technically have the same right to it as he does, and Suleiman looks visibly disturbed, has always been interesting to me and deserves more exploration. It also callbacks to some of his very fist scenes as a little boy (ex : "am I not the owner of this palace?" in S1E1). It especially evokes a central conflict between father and son: Mustafa thinks the throne is something that is owed to him simply by virtue of being the eldest prince, while Suleiman thinks it’s something you have to earn and fight for

He develops a love-hate relationship with his father where he at the same idolizes him and resents him. He lights up when Suleiman shows him the faintest of approval, and spirals when he is cold/suspicious towards him.

Mustafa in this season ends up being trapped in contradictions: raised by his mother to believe he was destined for greatness, yet never affirmed by the one person whose approval he craves most. Idolized by the janissaries, statesmen, and his mother as the future of the empire, he internalizes the myth of the perfect heir, yet at the same time can’t help feeling deep down unworthy of the pedestal he’s been placed on. This leads to anxiety, imposter syndrome, and reckless behavior to prove he deserves the pedestal.

He begins to chase validation desperately, seeking greatness through acts of bravery and calculated alliances, oblivious to how this only deepens Suleiman’s mistrust. His sense of self is fractured: he is simultaneously overpraised for existing and never good enough for the one person whose opinion truly matters, so he struggles to define himself and doesn’t feel grounded.

There are two contradicting imperatives pushed on him: “be strong, be loved, and be feared” from people like his mother, and “stay small and harmless” from his father—and possibly some other statesmen/scholars. He is caught between other people’s projections of him (a hero or a threat) and his own internal confusion. He starts going down a self-destructive path, unable to reconcile the person he is with the role others have written for him.

An amber x mark truther you say? Sooo real they had the chemistry and the potential but were forced to break up just for plot rip

exactlyyyy omg. thank you for dropping in my askbox anon, i needed to get a few things off my chest. keep in mind that i'm a show watcher only that managed to get the comics spoiled within an inch of her life bc um. that's my special skill. also, i'm not here to hate on markeve, i know it's a very popular ship and they have cute moments. sleep-deprieved rambling below the cut, don't like don't read.

but. markeve ties in with one of the many issues i have had with season three as a whole. the format (eight episodes... please give us twenty two episodes back, i beg) makes it so that they have to rush to adapt comic storylines, and they've been doing a good job, yes, but god damn does it feel rushed. the action scenes may be impactful, but the character beats and emotional moments fail to reach me personally.

and in comes the major problem i have with markeve: it, too feels rushed. like. yeah okay there were a few moments in earlier seasons were you could tell that they mayyybe were into each other, but that's it. and all of the sudden, in eight episodes, i'm supposed to believe that they're each other's soulmates after little to no time for the watchers to get used to their dynamic as a couple. (because we have had time to watch them interact as friends and they were very sweet together. highkey would have wanted them to remain friends)

by comparison, mark x amber had much more time to grow. we saw them get together, date, fall in love, try to salvage their relationship against all odds (because cecil sure as hell isn't going to give mark a breather), hang out with friends, before ultimately breaking up. and all that happened over the course of 16 episodes, wich is short, but we as viewers have had time to get attached. add in the fact that there was one year between each season iirc and boom. time to get used to their dynamic.

and from a character perspective? amber knew what she wanted. she had her goals in mind and wasn't afraid to call mark out on his bullshit. she stood up for herself, and had so much chemistry with mark it hurt. like damn, i tend to binge watch shows and only remember a few lines, but the "handsome mark grayson" line stayed with me for a reason. amber feels like her own character even when she's dating mark whereas eve as a character is much more interesting than eve as mark's girlfriend. to me, her character traits (ie wanting to figure out how to help ppl outside of superheroism/teen team/the gda) get sidelined and she ends up acting as a therapist for mark.

so yeah, mark x amber is the superior ship to me. it feels organic in a way markeve fails to be, mark and amber both stay true to their character and boy. the conflict around their relationship? "our worlds are too different for us to bloom in our relationship and i love you enough to let you go even if it kills me to not share your life?" peak drama.

They literally rode a bicycle built for two how can I not ship them

[badgetfowles]

ep 7 & 8

i am a broken record playing the same, boring tune. there's nothing new or interesting to say about this show that i haven't touched on before, so if you've enjoyed this season, I would ignore my venting

things i do like!: 1. travis conflict now that a male figure is back in his life, 2. lottie, shauna, and tai all wanting to stay (courtney eaton you killed that monologue) 3. I wanted to say Misty losing her glasses but then they fixed that pretty early. I would have loved if she became impaired the same way she impaired ben and have that be a sense of karmic justice but alas 4. mari as a character this whole season was gold. too bad she's going to die. 5. the shauna and lottie the past two episodes have been deliciousss. shauna staying after lottie said she was going to stay (i'm not staying for you).

but...

the writers have introduced some interesting plotlines that will no doubt get muddled through a sloppy execution. they continuously get sidetracked by shiny new toys and drop everything else before it can get to an earned conclusion. like lottie was murdered? and people who defended that choice said that in murder mysteries the victim often receives more of a spotlight through that death. where's that spotlight?

and i enjoy melissa/shauna. their dynamics are juicy, i'm not denying that. but i agree with critics who state that it's difficult to trust the 'in-universe rules' when they're constantly shifting the logic around. extras being added and replaced in the background with each new season. survivors appearing out of the woodworks when convenient. it makes this reveal lackluster because it's like... okay? will mari have a restaurant in houston too? they needed to make up their minds season 2 MAX who survived and who didn't, how many girls were out there, etc. in the writers room.

(i was wrong about the culprit being melissa's sister lol BUT i predicted weeks ago and I stand by that it might be Callie)

like i said in the beginning - i hope if you've read this far, you take what i say with a grain of salt. i still v much enjoy this show, i'm just bummed that it's taken a different course than what i felt made season 1 (and even parts of season 2) sing. the original questions I saw being asked in yellowjackets s1 (how can we live after intense trauma and do we mythologize it in some ironic attempt at making sense of it?) are still there (the bad reality underneath our good reality convo) but buried under plot that... i don't understand why they included. some of it feels like straight up fan service ngl.

but alas. i've imprinted on these characters so i will continue watching.

i'm not going to write these ep by ep anymore because i dont' think i'll have anything else new to say.

I watched yj s3 first 2 episodes …. Is this show bad

[fmayyy]

Lucifer is so Michael Scott coded…..

[copperpipes]

Tarantulas was ready to become a mom by the end of that episode

I would have loved an episode where nightshade goes feral and like starts hunting twitch and the human maltos (cuz they're prey sized compared to them)

Even if they just go feral for an episode my life would be complete 😌

And who had the briliant thought of giving the owl character an eagle ( edit.1: sorry, hawk. Thank you taggers) call? I just wanna talk :)

Edit.2 : I GET THAT ITS A HAWK YOU CAN STOP TELLING ME GEEZ

[silk-o]

I could talk so much about this promotional video. And how it lied about season 2

Jinx is being depicted as going to storm Piltover. This never happens. Jinx never actively goes to war with Piltover.

(In fact, she's made to forgive Piltover and apologise to Caitlyn that she killed her mom. Which Jinx would NEVER do. She DESPISED Caitlyn and her mother was on the council which has oppressed Zaun for the entirety of Jinx's life.)

This false imagery of Jinx going to war also matches the intro scene where she's waving the flag and becoming a symbol/leading a revolution. It promises a plot line that was completely unexplored as Jinx never actually led any sort of rebellion, and in fact hid away with Isha instead. (Not to mention that the Zaunite rebellion went nowhere and got dropped after act 2)

I would even go as far as to say that Isha was created to completely erase Silco and the impact of his death. To make it so that Jinx wouldn't become a revolutionary as a reaction to his death, despite the fact that she shoots at the Council as one of her first acts after his passing.

Even as Powder she wanted to fight back against Piltover and Jinx HATED enforcers. She killed them without a second thought, even humming songs as she casually killed them. She was raised by Silco, who wanted an independent Zaun. It would make sense for her to storm Piltover with Fishbones, as depicted here. But she doesn't. Because she decides that "Jinx is dead" and that she's going to hide out with Isha.

Then there's the Vi shadow. There's SO MUCH that could be said.

1, that Vi is now in her sisters shadow. This is sliiightly touched upon when Vi sees that Jinx is being painted on a mural with Vander - Jinx is Vander's successor, whereas it was supposed to be Vi. But even this symbolism is strange. Why would Jinx be depicted this way? Vander was never a revolutionary, he maintained the status quo, so she isn't his successor.

(The reason is that the writers were trying to erase Jinx and Silco's dynamic so they focused on Jinx and Vander being father and daughter which was. A really strange choice imo. Especially as it turned Warwick from a monster due to his transformation to a lucid dog that they were trying to save for a whole act. And then some. Only for him to die twice. Which wasted screentime in a show that already had a problem with pacing)

2, that Vi actually doesn't like Piltover either and that she ALSO wants to rebel, seeing as she's being depicted as a rebel's shadow. Which would fit her character a lot better than her joining the enforcers with barely any resistance or insight into her thoughts after the initial "No Cait I can't".

It would also remove her passiveness when Caitlyn was gassing Zaun. Vi had NOTHING to say? SERIOUSLY? The woman who, in season one, said "You enforcers are all the same, just asshole criminals in fancy uniforms"? She has barely any thoughts about Caitlyn's cruelty? Vi's character was completely brutalised this season and it's so sad to see. I knew Vi was going to become an enforcer, I know that that's her title in the game, but like THIS? It doesn't fit how Arcane set up Vi's character!

Not to mention that Vi was sad that the council got hit with a missile. That she said she would hunt Jinx down for what she did. Vi never had any attachments to the council. Shes been oppressed by the council her whole life. She SHOULDN'T be sad about what happened. Sure, she could sympathise that Caitlyn lost a parent, but she shouldn't be so broken up that the council was bombed.

Vi's character was so cheapened and flat this season. Her arc was non existent.

And Jinx? Jinx was completely ooc from what we saw in s1 and especially after the finale of that season.

For a show that was meant to be about the two sisters... the writers really fumbled both of them.

And it's so horribly disappointing

quick thing of something joyous for once bc I don’t draw them smiling enough :,) I like to think they had a moment celebrating Harbour Day together following Cambria’s defeat

Watching the final season of Fairy Tail in English this time and I gotta say. Zeref really does just say shit like “my dearest little brother” and “my darling little brother” all the time, doesn’t he? Completely unironically! Swear to god without his curse he’d be the most annoyingly affectionate sibling. Brocon material at LEAST. I wonder if he was already like that before the curse, actually….

[metalmachineherald]

sorry no one is going to be able to convince me that this is the canon order of these pictures. like actually fuck the writers so much.

im sorry but having the betrayal scene be actually about vander being upset about felica’s death so after he gets his brand new orphaned traumatized children home, he shaves and deages by 20 years and tries to kill someone who had actually nothing to do with her death?

[kyrup]

one of my favorite scenes from nsbu ep 3. i cannot get over ally switching from breaking at every other word that rekha says to being entirely seriously in-character and attentively holding their many many shirts
