It kind of sucks when you want to be silly funny but sometimes people take that as you being stupid dumb and they talk down to you as a result as if you don’t recognize the shit game they’re playing.

Bad Decisions. (LS)

Summary: After Logan isn’t able to compete in the Australian Grand Prix, his girlfriend shows everyone just how amazing he is. Which leads to a major turn of events.

Note: Used the indent feature instead of copy and pasting that arrow I usually use, lol. Hope you guys don’t mind too much, it’s much easier for me.

You really are a dumb fuck, aren't you? You repeated exactly what I said, then told me I was wrong for saying what you parroted back to me. Living in your brain must be fucking insufferable.

Your own words were that they did not know each other ten years ago. Incorrect.

They have both said that they have known each other socially (i.e., friends) since 2001. They did not become close until they were in Good Omens. Yes, that is what I said. That's what you agreed to after I corrected your initial false statement. My god, little wonder you think this blog is a good idea when these are your thought processes.

Nothing else you said makes the slightest bit of sense. I can't even decipher the point of that word salad, and I am a teacher. Why would Michael use the names of the characters when he is talking about the show that the characters are in? What? You are reaching so hard that it is comical.

You are a class act making jokes about a congenital defect that kills newborn infants. Is that the kind of thing the mother of a newborn infant who claims to be a nurse would do? We have established that you are lying about both of those things. You are just an awful person. When it comes down to the real point of this blog, you don't care about the greater good of the fandom. You only want attention. You are shouting about a tiny corner of Tumblr that draws no attention to itself. You bring attention to it. You make it loud. Even when it disappears, you keep bringing it back. What's the real point here? You want attention for yourself. You want to be the hero in a war that doesn't exist.

Maybe you don't ship the hairband. Maybe you just have bad taste in music? I don't care. Either way, you have no place calling out anyone when you support those losers. They are the epitome of the scum of society. Actual misogynists. One of them even murdered someone while driving drunk. That is just the tip of the iceberg. But someone no one knows said something mean about Georgia Tennant on Tumblr? Someone suggests that two men who keep talking about having sex and being in love might be in love. Better clutch your pearls over that! Pathetic.

bae that isn’t what you said. You said they’ve been friends for almost 25 years. Do you write things and just fucking forget them? Or can you just not stop lying?

I can’t imagine being a teacher and just constantly being so goddamn wrong, I bet your students can’t stand you.

also saying you don’t have a brain isn’t making fun of a congenital defect babe. I’m neither lying about being a mom or healthcare professional. Most people I talk to pretty regularly here have seen my baby, and it would be pretty hard work to have an entire baby to…fake being a mom??? I’m not going to put my baby’s face on here to prove to someone like you that she’s real, and frankly I think it’s a little strange you wanna see that bad babe. Like? Your obsession with an internet stranger’s newborn (i guess infant now omfg) is kinda creepy.

As for my health certification, you don’t know shit actually. I busted my ass in high school to be licensed because of the people who helped me as a kid. Also I’m not a nurse😉 you are right about that. There’s more to healthcare than your RN and MDs lol. You seem like you’d yell at underpaid healthcare workers in the worst way possible.

you obviously did understand, but didn’t want to lick your wounds and slink into the corner.

btw this group absolutely does draw attention to yourself. I found these people by looking for cute Georgia and Anna stuff and finding hate and misogyny spread about them. As for Motley Crue, I hardly listen to them anymore, if literally ever. I haven’t posted anything about them in over a year and that is why I removed 2000 of my followers on instagram and made it private to have a personal acc. I just never bothered changing the username lol. So try again I guess.

Anyways here’s my daily reminder to you that David and Michael would be disgusted with you. Hope you have the day you deserve!

Keep sending these I think we’re falling in love boo🚨🔵🚨🔵

You may not know this, but I am certified in reiki. I learned a lot of the teachings back in 2012. But I actually learned about the Chakras First FROM a reiki master teacher  – #irony.  My understanding of the chakras has been different from the get-go. I am so grateful that I learned the chakras in such a unique way that focused on the Law of attraction. It’s helped me develop my framework inside of The Ultimate Chakra Academy. 

Chakras are MORE than color therapy

Most chakra teachings are very textbook and surface level. It isn’t unlikely to come across healing methods that focus on color therapy, crystals, doing yoga asanas or god forbid someone saying to go lay in nature to heal your chakras.  – 

this barely scratches the surface of the deep seeded Internal work you are capable of doing with the chakra system. I honestly have to roll my eyes a little…

As I’ve expanded my studies on subconscious reprogramming, I began creating my own system of Merging Limited belief work WITH Emotional healing in the chakra system. 

I distinctly remember when i received the download for this – partly because i RARELY see anyone teach it like this. Most teachings are focusing on surface level techniques that BARELY scratch the surface with the deep seeded internal emotional healing work that can produce such profound emotional fulfillment when you use the chakra system correctly. 

This is part of the reason why I choose Chakra Healing over Reiki.

do not get me wrong here, I personally LOVE both systems but honestly, they are wildly different.

I use them for different things and I find that it’s important to understand WHY they are so different so you can also see the benefit of both. 

It really puts a Name and A Label on what is happening to you

if you’ve ever asked yourself ‘what the heck is a light body?’ or “how do i understand my energy?” 

I totally understand! This is why I continuously come back to the chakras. They have especially helped me put a name to what was happening to me in my spiritual awakening. it also helped produce so much emotional healing and helped me rewire beliefs! 

If you’ve ever been curious on how they are different

One of these days some writer’s gotta include kindling alongside forging, mentoring, constructed cold, budding, etc. If splitting sparks makes twins why not merging and begetting sparks? I just really like the idea of multiple forms of reproduction and choosing to have babies or adopting new adults. Which btw I really liked the mentor system and hope it transfers but I hope it’s just one option among many.

Haha, Good morning Anony- 

I’ve not written the mentoring system from IDW2 personally, but I do like it too. This is one of those times I wish I could sci-fi magic edit some convos I’ve had with my pals away from tumblr and twitter and post them because it doesn’t really come through in some of my fics that I combine systems in them, but I’ve talked extensively about it..... in private. 😅😂

For instance my boy Brainstorm- In everything I’ve posted with him he’s still his good ol cold constructed self- but in an AU I have with a good friend I will not name here, he’s actually a kindled mech- depending on our mood he knows that or not and gets to be reunited with his carrier. 😉

In my Vos fic (assuming anyone reading this will be minding my tags on that one lmao) It’s not explicitly stated but The Confederated clans of Vos are exclusively kindled/carried For Reasons™ and the surrounding city-states all use all the different fanon/canon ways-(Kindling, hot spots, cold construction- likely mentoring for those second two?)  and find them all normal. Brainstorm in that one was Cold-Constructed to be a guard for Harmonex, but being how brilliant he is they choose to educate him. Of course, the discrimination isn’t based on construction in that AU, it’s based on mode ability in both the flier and non-flier cultures. 

I do also hope that whatever comes next for TF comics it’s interesting and Well done. I like how it’s been done in TF Earthspark, with the Malto family growing but the new Terrans needing more time to grow into themselves than classic canon tf babies in the past. :3c 

I’ll deff have to think about this more, I’ve not really done any lore posts for my Aus in a long time or lore that includes how wide stuff goes for me as a writer myself. It’s aaaaalll in the chatlogs. Thanks for the ask! ♥

ETA: I’m honestly still whacked on cold meds from this whatever it is so I completely forgot to mention ATUE- my soap opera lmfao. That’s also one where it’s different. but I’ve been going back and forth on changing it because the initial ideas for it were written when IDW was going on and a lot of the canon rules for it were less solid. the only reasons I’ve not is because it’s kinda cool and also I know there’s some folks who get squicked by a human analog for tf reproduction. 

that being said, it’s been so long that who knows if those folks have gone on to other fandom pastures? we will see. 

Okay post actual over lmao

[writing-for-life]

I wanted to reply to you, @sleepytitan (I was getting confused about the notifications and had to do a bit of sleuthing 🤣), and then I had so many thoughts that I knew I’ll never manage in the comments 🙈 So here goes:

I agree with you, and I certainly don’t want to yuck anyone’s yum. I think this is a bit of a case of “two things can be true”?

I don’t think that “hot goth/emo” should be the goal either. Tbh, that seems to be much more of a wish of show fans than decades-long comics fans like me; he’s really never beautiful (although 🤣… more in a sec) in the stereotypical sense in the comics—often quite the opposite. So there’s nothing to prove really, because if we’re going down the route that Morpheus has to be rake-thin because the comics say so, we’d also have to say that Tom needs to get a few sessions of traction—because he’s very visibly a bit on the short side to be Morpheus (if you’re my height, which is admittedly on the taller end for a woman, you’re definitely gonna edge him out 😜). He’s “very tall and very beautiful”, right? Same arc as the one with Thess, and there’s even a “beautiful” in plain sight 😉 And no, I’m not really serious here, but you get my drift—none of this *really* matters because we have enough imagination (hopefully) to add a few imaginary inches in height, or think of him as thin enough (which he is in my view) without the actor having to go to extremes? I don’t know, it’s just how I see it. But in a nutshell: I actually have a bit of a personal aversion against fandom “pretty Morpheus”, so the fandom hottie is definitely not what I’m looking for. I can’t speak for the other people who said they find him edging on too thin though, so that’s just me.

When I said he should look “better” in S2, I meant that he doesn’t need to look as starved as in S1, there’s simply no canonical reason for it. He’s slim enough (he was actually fuller at the end of S1 than he is here, and presumably that was okay, because I didn’t hear anyone complaining about it).

And ofc actors have personal trainers and nutritionists around them for that type of stuff. I mean, I used to be one myself, and I work as a psychotherapist exclusively for artists these days, so I’m still very close to that industry and all the problems it involves. I totally get that I might have a slightly more critical view on the industry and what it does to people, and all I can say is that actors *definitely* feel the pressure to do these things to do a role justice, no matter if it causes harm to their bodies or not (often they believe it won’t until they are proven otherwise). There are enough examples of people who *always* worked with personal trainers and nutritionists, and their kidneys still packed in, because you just can’t be sure how long your body is holding up when it’s repeatedly going through that immense physical stress. And that pressure *is* industry-created, even if the actors commit and happily oblige because it’s “method” (which it isn’t btw, because method acting has nothing to do with “looking the part”). It doesn’t happen in a vacuum, and it’s not just about commitment to a role.

Now, I’m definitely not saying this has to apply to Tom, and yes, he will definitely look different after post production, but fact is that this is how he looks when there’s no flattering light and post magic involved. And it’s okay if people like it, that’s personal taste. It’s just *also* true that it’s not as straightforward in terms of health as people would like to believe, and that actors always walk a tightrope between personal commitment and working with the pressures of the industry. As I said: Two things can be true.

So I feel there’s a balance to strike somewhere, and there’s a line to walk. Losing a certain amount of weight is okay, putting it on is, too, but we don’t have to push the limit all the time or repeatedly. Because doing it once is one thing. Doing it repeatedly is immensely stressful on the body and eventually *does* mess up your metabolism.

As for gunpowder grey, badly blended eyeshadow… well, you better switch all the lights off for that one, and that’s both shitpost territory and also true 😜🤣

Half the fandom about Morpheus after s2 BTS dropped:

Lmao

(Joking here. Everyone's got their own opinion, that's fine. Beholder's eyes, I guess, cause Tom/Morpheus looks hella attractive to me in in-scene and BTS clips from both seasons. Which isn't even supposed to be the goal as the panel above should prove. I never thought the goal was 'hot goth'. The goal is and has been 'WEIRD, unearthly, not-totally-human': aesthetically pleasing but unsettling. Do we want actors to starve and dehydrate to the point of looking unhealthy? No. Would Tom, as an individual deeply enthusiastic about and invested in portraying the character as accurate to canon ('rake-thin') as he can, go ahead and do it anyway, 'required' or not? Yeah, seems like it. He must be working with diet and physical training specialists, so I trust they know what they're doing better than I do.)

ἀλήθεια (Epilogue, pt. 1, Vοσταλγία AU)

ἀλήθεια Masterlist

Pairing: Freydis/Reader, Ivar/Reader (past)

Word Count: 3k

Warnings: The usual, angst and not really healthy mindsets. For some reason I feel like I should tag ‘mentions of Ivar’ as a warning lol. My endless swooning over Freydis.

A/N: Hi, I’m back on my Nostalgia/Alatheia bullshit. I’m sorry this isn’t a more interesting update, instead just this self-indulgent AU. I have some other Nostalgia-related stuff partly written, that I hope to be able to post soon. I also hope at least some of you are still around lol, I’ve missed you all.

Also, when re-reading this I got smashed over the head with thoughts about the “there is no glory in divinity” conversation between the Reader and Ivar in Chapter 45. Just thought you should know 😉

And another also: Soteira is an epithet of Persephone (and other Goddesses) that means “Savior”, and Despoena is another epithet of Persephone which means “Ruling Goddess” or “the Mistress”. And Kván is Old Norse for “Wife”, while Dróttning is Old Norse for “Queen” or “Mistress” btw.

“Harald Finehair has turned on the sons of Ragnar, or so say the whispers that have reached me.” Galla starts, and Freydis lifts her gaze to find your friend’s dark eyes set intently on you.

The words are casual, but Freydis knows that if Galla is sharing something that she has heard, it might as well be etched in stone like the markings in your temple’s pillars.

You keep your gaze on your food, nonchalant in the way you turn to her after picking apart a piece of bread.

“It was only a matter of time. You knew that already, we all did,” You explain calmly, shrugging your shoulders as you add, “If Ivar has married again, if he has children now, King Finehair has every right to-…”

“He hasn’t. He doesn’t.” Galla blurts, and Freydis has the feeling that when your eyes meet those of your oldest friend you are asking something, to which Galla offers the slightest lift of one brow.

You are lifting your head slightly, a glint of pride, of…something in your gaze that isn’t lost on anyone here, but still make no point about Galla’s information, and instead insist,

“Harald still has reasons to turn against the sons of Ragnar.”

“He plans on overtaking Ivar, and war for the kingdom of Kattegat and any other land the Varangian might have conquered will soon reach him. Before next winter, or so I hear.”

The barely-there narrowing of your eyes is enough of a tell, but neither Freydis nor Galla say anything about it.

“And you tell me this because…”

“If word reaches the Mediterranean that Ivar the Boneless is no more, then your cl-…”

“Are you going to suggest I marry again, old friend?” You ask, even if you know the answer. Freydis wonders if you know about the look Galla and your commander, Pyrrhos, share at your question.

“I’m going to suggest you consider your options going forward. Knowing that your husband has been defeated would give those waiting a reason t-…”

“Harald cannot, and will not, defeat Ivar,” You state easily, eerily calm. That is a reaction even if it is the lack of one; Freydis knows you enough to know that. Galla starts to say something else, but your focus is sharp and so is your voice, “Enough of this.”

“How can you be so certain? Almost two years have gone by, th-…”

“I said enough.”

Your voice doesn’t raise, your demeanor doesn’t change in the slightest. But your eyes when they meet Galla’s, they betray something else.

Soteira, Despoena, the Greeks have come to call you, titles she understands not only because she knows what they mean in your tongue, but because she knows what your people see when they look at you. She has heard other names, spoken in secret, spoken where you cannot hear, names that speak of knowing the mysteries of life and death, names that speak of terror and fire.

Gods are made through fire, those who walk through the flames can claim their divinity, that is what my people believe, that is the reason they call her by the names they do, Galla had told her once, before lowering her head with a chuckle that was more bitter than anything else, they are fools for thinking walking through flames didn’t cost her more than they could imagine.

Regardless of Galla’s words, or perhaps because of them, there have been many times that Freydis has looked at you and thought that it isn’t possible you are a mortal woman just like her, fallible and ordinary as any other.

Seeing you and thinking that you are divinity made flesh is an echo of an old song she used to sing herself to sleep with, hoarse voice in the dead of night promising herself when no one was there to do so that there was a reason for all of it; she knows it is, and she knows her ideas of the Gods showing their favor through a life fated for pain was nothing but the desperate delusions she told herself to keep afloat.

She knows, and perhaps pain isn’t a mark of the Gods’ favor, perhaps misfortune isn’t their way to offer mortals a chance at proving themselves worthy; but Freydis cannot deny that there is truth to the stories the Greeks tell of you, she cannot deny that you have made out of yourself something that is more divine than human.

And now as you look at Galla, unwavering, commanding without saying a word, Freydis sees the same thing the Greeks do: divinity made flesh. Maybe it isn’t too outlandish to think you can decide the outcome of these battles to come, even if you aren’t there to intervene; maybe it isn’t impossible that your favor, like the Gods’ they so blindly trust in back in what once was her home, can turn the tide of a war.

But if that is true, Freydis cannot help but feel in her chest grow that hollow pressure, when she wonders why, after everything, would Ivar still be worthy of your favor.

“Harald can cut his passage to Kattegat,” Freydis blurts, meeting your wide eyes with her own, “He can keep him across the sea, weaken the army and th-…”

“And how do you speak so surely of this?”

“You told me,” She answers, not missing a beat. “You told me…before, that if Ivar spent the winter away from Kattegat, then that Saxon would be strong enough to defeat him.”

“That was a long time ago, Freydis. Many things have changed since then, in a manner we might not even be able to imagine,” You say, forcefully calm. A tilt of your head, and you insist, “Besides, we have our own wars, our own battles, to worry about. That world no longer concerns me.”

That’s a lie.

Before Freydis can decide if she wants to say anything, Galla leans forward on her seat, stealing your attention, “Word is you still plan on moving for another district in the spring.”

Sharing a look with Pyrrhos, a Spartan that has sworn his life and sword to you, and whom you have trusted to lead your men into battle; you take a sip from your goblet, lifting your hand to signal the number two.

“Both Decelea and Laurium will be mine,” At your friend’s look you only smile, lowering your cup and shrugging one shoulder, “I want Athens, and those cities are my path to it.”

“You do not have the men to move for both places at once.”

“Eleusis is stronger than you think,” You argue with proud glint in your eye, with a tilt of your chin upwards that Freydis smiles at. “We can hold, and we can divert some of the Byzantine forces here.”

“How?”

“A lure. We will be…undefended.”

“We?”

“You don’t expect me to leave Eleusis, do you?” Your nose furrows mockingly, “You know how I hate travelling.”

Galla stares in silence for a moment, before taking a deep breath and leaning back in her chair, arms crossed over her chest and an expectant lift of her eyebrows.

Instead of answering, you gesture with your hand to the man by your side, giving Pyrrhos the permission to explain. With his Greek denoting the accent of his homeland, an accent Freydis grew used to in the months she spent with you in Sparta, the warrior starts explaining your plan to prepare Eleusis for defense, while most of your numbers leave you for the neighboring districts to take control of them away from the Empire.

When pressed about it, your answer as to why you choose to lure the Empire to Eleusis is simple. So simple, that it makes a shiver run down Freydis’ spine. So simple, that it would make a lesser woman fear.

“They will underestimate me, and I want to punish them for it.”

“Eleusis will be weakened, even if it holds.”

“And we will rebuild again, stronger than before.”

“There are other ways.”

“I do not care for those. I want to burn them alive outside our walls, and let their ashes be an example for those that wish to follow in their footsteps.”

For a moment, barely an instant, but that still lingers in her mind for far too long, she is cowering near York’s walls during an attack and she hears of Ivar’s orders to his men to corner the attacking Saxons and make arrows rain on them from above.

And in her memories she hears him laugh as the helpless Saxons are slaughtered, but his laughter and yours are too alike for her to be able to make them apart.

Spring is leaving fast, the chill at night grows stronger with each passing day, the earth under her feet seemingly hardens with each passing moment.

Lord Hades demands his wife’s return, you told her one night, smile wide even though your trek to your home had been interrupted by a sudden storm, and laughter clinging to your words as you tilted your head back, welcoming the cold rain that soaked your clothes and chilled your skin; and each year he seems to stand her absence less and less, much to our misfortune.

Your people still work relentlessly well into the end of the warmer seasons, not so easily halted by the cold as her people were back home, not when winter is so much kinder here, not when, with the memory of a snow-covered Kattegat still fresh in her mind, to Freydis spring never ends in these lands.

You two are talking softly with each other about what is to come, quiet words that trade secrets and truths as they always have between you. With you telling her about your Commander’s plans for the weakening of Athens, and the certainty of the oracle you consulted about your upcoming victories.

“Sometimes I think they will just tell me what I want to hear.”

“The oracles?” You nod your head, and Freydis cannot bother hiding her frown. How could you imply women of the Gods would lie? “Why?”

“You have heard what the Attics call me,” You offer as an answer, gaze darkened, hardened, as you look at her out of the corner of your eye. Not that you’d realize, but it is that kind of expression, that darkness swimming in your gaze, that makes her agree with the Greeks sometimes, that makes her look at you and think Soteira. “The oracles call me by the same name.”

“They must have their reasons.”

You stop walking at her gentle argument, and Freydis refuses to let go of your hand, so she stops as well, turning to meet your gaze.

“Do you believe them?” You ask, bluntly. She can only return your wide gaze, not really certain of what she wants her answer to be, not really confident in which answer would be a lie, not really sure if she wants to offer truth at all.

“Should I?”

“You…you know me,” You tell her, shocked, almost affronted. It is barely a moment, but she dares think she sees a glimpse of desperation in your gaze, feels it in the tightening of your hold on her hand. “You, better than anyone here, know who I am. I-I am no Soteira, no Despoena.”

She sees it in your eyes, a desperation she saw few times, a vulnerability that flays at her heart each time she is witness to it; and she is aware of what you are asking from her, but…

“You must understand why they t-…”

She watches the humanness of a woman give in against the otherworldliness of a legend before her very eyes, before she is even done speaking.

“I understand,” You sentence, and at the tone in your voice a compulsion as old as the ground under her feet makes Freydis want to straighten her back, to stand to attention. “Hiereia, Anassa, Kván, Dróttning. I understand why they use those words, why…why they matter.”

Freydis steps forward, finding certainty in the chaos that swims in your gaze, finding stability somewhere in the ache in her chest at the sight of you faltering. And she will offer anything, lies if she has to, truth if she can, to make the lost look in your eyes fade to the comforting certainty she knows.

“They don’t matter more than you.”

“You can lie better than that.” You chuckle, but it is humorless, and Freydis doesn’t even smile. She could swear you almost shrink when you face her impassiveness, her unwaveringness.

She wishes she could find it in her to tell you that their words cannot change who you are, that something is not made real just by being spoke aloud. But they dragged her small form from her mother’s embrace, called her a slave and made her one; Ivar freed her and in the madness he left her as a burden she called herself Freydis, and that was what she became.

“I am not lying,” She tells you instead, finding your gaze and holding it without hesitation. “You have a name before any of those titles, you are yourself before anything they want to make out of you.”

“Not many remember my name anymore.” You tell her, the faintest tremble in the corners of your mouth.

Freydis looks at you and thinks of the foreign woman the Völva led to the healers’ hut, that refused to give anyone her name as if it were some invisible chain she insisted on holding in her own hands. That changed with time, and with time she also came to understand why exactly it changed, why you did.

When you met your name was a secret spoken by few, guarded and coveted, and each time you shared it you did so with the sacrifice of thousands of Greeks weakening your voice, baring your guilt. Now, what feels like a lifetime afterwards, your name is again spoken by few, muffled and restless, uttered as an afterthought, with your sacrifice helping the voice that utters it be quietened under the loud intonation of a legend, of the voices of worship.

She can’t quite understand why you’d choose to cling to the lingering humanity of your saga instead of embracing the glory of divinity, but she will offer whatever she can until you realize what you truly are.

“I do, I will. You will.”

You want to argue, you want to answer, but so easily you are silenced by uttered words in your mother tongue as two women pass you by.

Freydis knows enough of your language to understand some words she catches carried by the wind, she knows enough of devotion to understand they are muttering their prayer to something they refuse to see as human.

And as easily as that, your name that was sweet on her tongue is kept trapped behind her lips, your vulnerability trapped in the dignified bow of your head you offer to the passing Greeks.

Your smile is a lie, she knows it is.

Without another word on the topic, you continue your walk amongst the half-built walls that stand tall over Eleusis, reminiscing, “When my mother was alive, she would take me with her to walk these paths,” You’re telling her, smile a little rueful when you amend, “Not these exact paths, our walls weren’t this strong then. It took over twenty years for our people to realize that wood burns.”

“Stone is expansive.” She quips around a small chuckle, and you shrug.

“So is defeat,” Without another word, you tighten your hold of your hand in hers and tug Freydis towards one of the low towers so you are closer to overlooking the sea. Eyes strikingly bright as you overlook the workers lifting the heavy stones with their cranes and pulleys, you tell her, “You know, my father used to say strong walls are a dangerous thing for a city to pride itself in. What keeps the wolves out, if enough of an opening is breached for the beasts to come through, will become a trap to keep the sheep in.”

“Your enemies could invade, use Eleusis as the fortification you have made of it against you.” She clarifies, slightly irked at your intent of taking a scenic route towards your point. You only do that when you’re hiding something, or when you’re about to tell her something she doesn’t want to hear.

“But this city isn’t something I will accept to have taken from me,” You retort with ease. A deep breath, and you turn around, your back against the stone railing of the wall, and your gaze lowered to your hand in hers. Freydis holds her breath, and finally you say, “If anyone manages to breach our defenses, wolves and sheep alike will burn within the walls. You are neither, Freydis.”

“What are you saying?”

“Pyrrhos will show you the passageways he has secured for you and a few others. If we fall, you must escape through them.”

She shakes her head, stepping closer.

“Not without you.”

You don’t look at her, you only have eyes for the horizon ahead. An almost-serene smile starts curving at your lips, and Freydis’ chest pulls tight, a dull ache stalling her breaths.

“I’ll find you when it is over, if the Gods let me.”

There is something you aren’t telling her, some truth you are hiding. She is certain of it.

“Do you intend to die here?” She asks, her hand tightening its hold on your arm, not above demanding honesty if you are trying to refuse to offer it.

You turn your head to her and only smile, a barely-there quirk of the side of your mouth. It is humorless, mirthless.

Divinity shines dully in your eyes, and Freydis’ almost expects to see faint cracks in the corner of your mouth where you have dared smile bitterly, as if you had become one more of the unbreakable but lifeless marble statues that stand proudly in Eleusis.

“Haven’t you heard? I can’t die.”

Don’t you know who I am? You can’t kill me.

Sylvester McCoy??? Showing up randomly in the middle of a rave??? Okayyyy then 😂

I love elements of this show (Lito/Hernando being the main one tbh…I would absolutely watch a show just about them), but my god it’s a hot mess overall lol. Very glad to have read several Reddit threads questioning its execution, because yeah.

I’m preparing myself to not like one particular thing about the ending. And for the record, I am not against poly stories in general…helloooo, take a look at my fics/WIP ideas/fic rec tag for starters…not to mention, one of my fic titles was inspired by a BBC drama about a poly relationship (and that show, whilst not perfect, was done a lot better than Sense8).

But so much of Lito’s story is centred on him being a gay man and him coming to terms with telling the world Hernando is the love of his life. Like, he jeopardises his career for him. He’s forced out of the closet and has to come out to his mother because of the leaked photo. It’s clearly a big fucking deal to his character and it’s handled so beautifully ❤️

So, I do not understand what possessed the writers to think it was a good idea to introduce Daniela as someone who fetishised Lito/Hernando from the start, including repeatedly taking pictures of them having sex without their consent???? I’m supposed to be invested in that creepy setup? Would they have done this if the genders were reversed and it was a straight dude obsessing over a lesbian couple?

All three characters deserve better than that tbh. Daniela’s entire storyline basically becomes Lito’s and Hernando’s relationship. That’s it. She has no life outside of them. Just a horrible family and an abusive ex-boyfriend. And we’re TOLD she’s the thing that’s been missing from Hernando’s life, but I don’t feel like we’re really SHOWN it. What was so bad about his and Lito’s life before?? What was missing that Dani specifically brings to their relationship? They seemed very much in love and Lito was turning women down all over the place to go home to his boyfriend.

And that is a big problem in this show in general: being told things rather than shown them over and over again.

Btw this isn’t me being all ‘how dare a woman get in the way of a mlm ship’ before anyone says anything 😉 I plan on writing a FMM poly fic for a different fandom at some point, so no. That isn’t my problem here. In fact, I feel like if they’d introduced Daniela in pretty much ANY other way than how they did it, I’d have bought into a thruple a hell of a lot more.

Speaking of consent, as hot as the orgy scenes are and as funny as Lito’s and Will’s scene afterwards is, I’m confused by the fact Will didn’t seem to remember it had happened? Or was he just too embarrassed to admit it happened? And what about the non-sensates like Hernando and Amanita who only think they’re having sex with their long term partners, but actually a whole group of strangers have dialled in for a live sex show as well?? Again, interesting idea in theory, but the execution is…iffy af.

And all of this has been DRIVING ME MAD 😂 It’s making me irrationally annoyed lol. Because there’s so much potential amongst all of this and I do love some of the other characters as well Lito/Hernando, but it’s all kind of been drowned out.

Oh and then there’s the racial stereotyping all over the place. “This is Mexico” made me want to throw things.

Once again, I’m late to the party and just started Sense8. I’m only one episode in, but for some reason, it’s giving me Heroes-when-it-was-actually-good vibes. Those were the days.
