i NEED to know what kind of relationship david wymack and tetsuji moriyama have to each other. i need to know what the fuck was going through their minds when wymack called tetsuji up the first time to tell him he's got kevin and that he'll be keeping him. Or the second time when wymack calls about jean. i need to know how wymack feels about finding out that tetsuji has known that kevin is his son since before kevin was born and has kept kevin from him all those years after kayleigh's death. i need to know how tetsuji felt when he was agreeing to give up on one of his biggest investments and letting kevin go to his birth father. seriously, kathy needs to get these two onto her show at the same time next.

The fact that Bells Hells are so,,, scattered, is what I think makes them such a compelling party to me. Cause you have Ashton and Fearne who represent the Titans as well as the very earth and fire that molded the planet, Imogen who represents the moon and the storms, Chetney is the wild and the creative, Orym is the nature and the bonds, Dorian is the sky, winds, and music of the air, Laudna is the darkness that can bloom and the joys of life on Exandria, FCG was the automatons and Aeor history. (Braius remains to be seen, but I think of him as the inherit redemption that Exandria had gone through after the Calamity).

I think all of them represent a facet of the planet as a whole and the fact that they are going to ruidus to take care of Predathos and Ludinus is the best option. Because, to me, this isn’t a Gods vs God Killer fight, this is Exandria vs its very Destruction.

They don’t know what’ll happen when Predathos is released. They don’t know if it’ll stop at the gods. Worst case scenario, Exandria is DESTROYED. COMPLETELY. That is still a possibility that they must face.

So to have this final fight be fought by this party made up of all the things of Exandria is so special and a beautiful way to pay homage to the world that critters have witnessed this group travel for almost ten years.

This is just a thought that I had but I like that we get a different side of Elain with Lucien.

Not only was their conversation together one of the only times we got a glimpse inside her mind and her struggles, but we also got the glimpse of her ruthlessness. She’s usually very tame and tries to not hurt people but when it comes to Lucien we feel her anger, even if quiet, it sizzles.

She’s not sorry for breaking his heart. She raises her voice to Feyre when she asks her to give him a chance.

Lucien brings out her rebellious side, her non-conformist side, even in spite of his happiness I guess, but she doesn’t owe it to him and he knows that. She did shrink to herself after he gifted her the pearls, but I don’t think it means she is complying to him, in fact she’s not, she’s dominating the situation all the time.

The other times we see Elain become this bold is when she wants to do something and people keep coddling her. These two issues go hand in hand.

It makes me think about when these two triggers collide, when Lucien has the opportunity to also coddle her and she’s about to go off on him but instead he aids her. I would like to see how her anger tries to come out anyway, unable to accept that he, the one who was placed upon her, is undeniably the one to see her. She will be so angry at that too.

This is the tension I want.

Add the maester to the growing list of people who know about the Alicole affair

He was like “Mhhhhm… the ✌🏽GIRL✌🏽tell your friend the ✌🏽GIRL✌🏽 that if the pain gets too bad, come see me.”

And Larys had his suspicions they were fucking but with the tea it’s confirmed. So he starts taunting her while she’s experiencing an abortion by reminding her that her almost baby daddy could die at any moment and she’ll never see him again.

Her patience is wearing thin with him this season and he knows he’s losing control.

Hi anon 💚

Yes I also thought that the maester realized Alicent wanted the moon tea for herself. It’s early in the morning, she summons him for moon tea, and then doesn’t appear at the small council meeting. He had reasons to grow suspicious 🤨. I also think the way he paused before he said “the… recipient” was telling as well. He wanted to let her know that she should seek his aid in case she needs it.

Larys knew from episode 1, by telling Alicent that she was “indisposed” when he was looking for her. And Larys always lurks behind Alicent to be informed of her every move (we saw him during the Alicole farewell scene too). As you say, he has his suspicions confirmed now that he discovers the moon tea. It’s interesting to see how he will react. I think he’s not planning to use it against Alicent since they are allies but it gives him the upper hand again because it makes Alicent worried, and that’s what he wants.

Alicent purposefully keeps a tight grip over her body now, having sent the maids away and suffering her abortion alone, and Larys knows that he’s losing control, that’s why this new confirmation of the Alicole affair elates him. He can exercise control over her mind, as we see in the way he talks about Criston and Viserys. He’s letting her know that he’ll always be able to read her thoughts, that he knows her so well, and that creeps her out. Because she has managed to physically keep him at a distance, but how does she stop him from invading her mind?

is the wheeler family (parents) being so unaware and oblivious and maybe in denial of everything that is going on around them a parallel to mike being in denial to his gayness. like i started this post out as a joke sort of but lowkey… karen telling nancy she doesn’t know where she gets her bravery from and thinks she is adopted also indicating that mike also maybe lacks the bravery to be true to himself. 🙏 like genuinely it adds up idk

Taissa and Lottie mirror each other so much. Lottie’s visions giving her control, Taissa’s taking her control away. Lottie’s giving the team hope, Taissa’s hallucinations scaring herself and others. Lottie being awake during her visions while Taissa is asleep during hers. Lottie losing Laura Lee after thinking she would survive, Van surviving after Taissa thought she was dead. Lottie becoming the leader of the team in the wilderness, Taissa becoming the leader of New Jersey as an adult. Lottie believing in the cult while Taissa is opposed to it. Lottie acknowledging her visions as visions, and Taissa refusing to do the same with hers. Lottie being a spiritual leader and Taissa being an atheistic leader. Them being the only two to have flashbacks to their childhood. Lottie not finding food but Taissa finding Javi. Just Lottie and Taissa being foils of each other, them being two halves of a whole.

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

idk if anyone else felt this way, but in the Shapeshifter ep of Dungeon Meshi, it's treated like a joke that all the copies of Laios are super obviously not him, but isn't it kind of fucked up that Laios's closest companions don't seem to view him as... whole?

None of his companions had an accurate view of him as a person! One of the copies was a stupid, drooling mess! And on top of this, they all believed that because Laios struggles with social cues he wouldn't be observant to them as people. They just... fundamentally don't understand him.

I think the really accurate copies of the rest of the party was drawn from Laios's mind. His powers of observation and analytics are his strength, but that's not the same as being good with social cues.

Anyway. It made me really sad. I know his party cares about him, but it's so isolating to know your friends don't know you.

this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)

the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)

all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)

you can get a free digital copy of this poster here on my gumroad!

and you can order a print/poster here from my inprnt!

the greens are so shakespearean to me. like alicent forced to be a mother but can’t bring herself to be loving in her children’s hour of need. the horrible cycle of duty and costs of power feel like they are only being paid for by the green kids. they truly don’t know anything other than being on their own

That is excellently said, anon! 💚

I like to imagine that a look into the Otto x Alyrie failmarriage would have given us great context. Or perhaps Otto really loved Alyrie but couldn't show affection to Alicent as she was growing up since she was the image of her mother and the memory of Alyrie's death was painful for him. I think we will get more insight into their family dynamics as soon as Gwayne appears.

But yes, Alicent not being able to console her grieving kids is telling of how she has learned to process grief herself. And again it's coming from Otto I think... Alicent tells us in S1 that when her mother died, everyone spoke to her in riddles. All she wanted was someone to say they felt sorry for her. So I imagine that Otto kept his grief private and did not share it with Alicent. He also kept her mother's dresses for Alicent to wear as she grew older, never really able to let go of the ghost of her... She learned to keep her grief private too, and now she cannot console her son and daughter. They are all processing their suffering alone. They truly are in a vicious circle of unhealed trauma, hungry for power and control as an antidote to loneliness and lack of self-worth.

They are so Shakespearean, you're right!
