#this isn’t even getting into the fact that one of my favourite oblivious!vax scenes has no reason to be included if scanlan

rather than the frustration i have with several other choices/executions in the season, i say this with very genuine curiosity: given the cast’s discussion regarding how certain character choices work at the table with the immediacy and imperfection of improv and dice but don’t work in a written story, i’m intrigued by the inclusion of vex’s “don’t go off and get married” line. like so much of the meat of that line is that above table laura completely forgot vex said that (fairly fitting given that vex said it in her sleepy post-grey hunt heart to heart stupor) and liam remembered it so wholly that it informed the choices he had vax make in the year off. and i think if they had the kind of silly but sweet and codependent heart to heart the twins were having about being separated for the first time and having homes that reach beyond one another, it might’ve fit a bit better. but given that it’s pretty much vex’s sole reaction to vax and her separating, it feels a bit odd as something to be included.
