They’re not going to rebuild Castle Byers because Will can’t rebuild his childhood, which is the reason he destroyed Castle Byers in the first place. He’d been trying to hold on to a level of carefree ignorance that no longer existed for him. The problems Castle Byers saved him from have been replaced by new problems that are bigger and stronger than a child’s fort. He needs to face them differently. Thank you and goodnight

Forever mourning that we would’ve had a scene in the finale where the protagonists apparently reach a resolution with Odalia on some level??? It got cut so Camila could take her place and hell yeah more for Camila, never gonna apologize for that. But man it’d have been nice to have both. The Odalia-Collector storyline set up in CotH was evidently going somewhere there but in the end the finale was already extended ten minutes past the usual mark.

Also yes plsss on the twins! Emira my dearrrrr you were molded into the new Odalia into the next showman matriarch while your sister was meant to become the next Alador the next moneymaker!!! What are your thoughts what if we had a storyline about you being your own person!!! I have to acknowledge that there’s always someone who’s going to have to take the fall for another character to shine at this point in the story but man.

i'm actually mostly happy with how things ended with odalia. i really like that amity never forgives her and continues to go no-contact with her. far too often, media does a "but they're your PARENT, it would be wrong to cut them out of your life" message, and having that be the dominant cultural narrative can be really harmful to victims of parental abuse. so it was VERY refreshing to see a story that said "this character going no contact with her abusive parent was the right choice"

that said, i think there could have been a way to give odalia's storyline more of a resolution without tossing that down message down the drain.

see, you know how i've complained before about how making odalia a full-on villain really undercut her storyline as just an abusive mother. how it accidentally kiiinda had the implication of like "the abuse on its own wasn't enough to cut her off. she had to be willing to kill literally her entire race in order to earn that." which i don't think was intentional.

i think it would have been cool if the resolution to her arc was like. she's no longer a full on villain. she helps our protagonists and makes up for her involvement in the big plot. she's technically on our side now... but that still doesn't make up for the abuse, and amity still is better off without her in her life.

i'm imagining a scene of like, after odalia helps the gang with the collector in some way, she talks to amity. says something like "i will admit that you were right, for once. helping with the day of unity was a poor business decision on my part." and maybe even a "these months with the collector have shown me you weren't such a bad daughter" perhaps followed by a pompous "so i will forgive your little outburst at the factory and accept you as a member of my family again" (despite, y'know, being the one who got cut off)

so amity goes off on her. says it wasn't about the day of unity. or, at least, wasn't JUST about the day of unity. that it was about the years of being treated like a puppet rather than a person (cue some kind of clever shot of the collector's puppets). she says that he friends have shown her what real love is supposed to look like, and her time with camila has shown her how mothers are supposed to treat children, and that none of odalia's actions have matched that. so she says that no, she will not be allowing odalia to be her family anymore.

and odalia doesn't understand, just keeps arguing that she only did these things because she wanted what was best for her family. and so amity leaves.

-

AND YESSS THE TWINS. like. i get it. the show had a lot going on and not a lot of time, of course the protagonist's girlfriend's siblings aren't gonna get that much time dedicated to them. but man. i love me a fucked up family and i want to know more about those two so bad. emira especially. like her twin brother (who, up to that point, had exactly as much relevance as her) got his own episode subplot and she got nothing! and like she interests me for all the reasons you said AND like. she seems to be odalia's favorite (perhaps tied with edric, perhaps even above him) but she seems even more cynical about BOTH of their parents than amity does. AND LIKE she's got eldest daughter syndrome despite being a TWIN! she seems to feel responsibility for looking after her brother who is the exact same age as her! i need to know what's the deal with that dynamic! god the fic ideas and headcanons i have about her that i never got around to writing/finishing

“That was a lot. I can’t remember the last time I was around that many people who weren’t all, y’know, townies.”

“Oooookay, miss extrovert. Even you have your limits, huh?”

“I’m not— It wasn’t too much socializing, I’m just… tired. Maybe I’m crashing after all that sugar.”

“Wellll, I hope you’re not too tired...”

???????

“We’ve got a long walk back home! Damn, girl, get your head out of the gutter…”

to the gamechanger who built this i think you should be tarred and feathered

progress on diiode is like. slow and unsteady because adhd is a bitch (i lost a week to doing nothing and then another to getting distracted making a minecraft datapack) but im soooo happy whenever i complete something for it. once i get these base level things outta the way (ive got the barebones of dialogue in place, so next up is combat on my chopping block) i should be able to just start building the game and spend less time solving programming headaches

I've reached a point as a scientist where I now have a compulsive need to show my work. Like, before my math teachers would struggle to get me to show my work because a major part of my self-actualization as the Gifted Kid™️ meant that I didn't need to because I simply just knew, like the annoying little shit I was.

Well, fast forward to today, and the math I'm doing is complicated enough and undefined enough for any specific situation where I'm basically rebuilding everything wholesale out of the basic principles every single time (because it's simply easier than memorizing a list of formulas). With that, I'm prone to get something wrong because I mixed up a rule of logarithms or misremembered which infinite series equals what elementary operation. As such, whenever I throw around any number with any confidence around, I always back it up with my work because if someone walks up and calls me the fuck out, they can A) understand how I came to that conclusion, and B) point to where I fucked up in the first place. To which I'll shake their hand, and thank them for saving me the time from redefining everything all over again and then make the applicable change. It honestly makes you look less stupid because it turns big claims into small flubs, and people are way more charitable with those.

When you're a lot more confident in your inabilities, documenting your work makes receiving help way easier, and that genuinely is why math teachers are so niggling about all that. They were always right.

Interesting comparison I noticed today. In s5e16 ‘Doctor Bashir, I Presume’, we get these lines from Richard Bashir:

RICHARD: Oh, so now we're not taking it seriously. We're not as bright as he is. We don't have your gifted intellect so we can't see the perfectly obvious.

RICHARD: You're so smart. You know so much that you can stand there and judge us. But you're still not smart enough to see that we saved you from a lifetime of remedial education and underachievement.

Then in the next season, s6e18 ‘Inquisition’, Sloan has a rant where he says:

SLOAN: I've had enough of your lies, Doctor. You think you're smarter than the rest of us, don't you? You think you're smarter than the millions of brave men and women who put their lives on the line for the Federation.

I kind of doubt it’s intentional from the writers since it’s at the end of the scene and Bashir doesn’t get a chance to respond, but like to imagine Sloan is purposely dredging up Julian’s old daddy issues here. Perhaps S31 has access to footage from one of Julian’s visits/calls to his father?

i understand why the clone had to die at the end. this is a silly evil clone dlc the clone has to die so we can be done with the plot and get to the party. but also it was bad that that happened. "oh she's evil she killed a bunch of people-" it's mass effect everyone does that. she woke up six months ago and was manipulated the entire time it's fucked up!!!!

Hello, I am Mahasen,a Digital Artist from North Gaza, where creativity thrives despite challenges. My father passed away, making me the main provider for my family.

Before the war, I worked in motion graphics with international companies, specializing in character design and storyboarding.

The conflict forced us to evacuate repeatedly, and our home was damaged. My essential art equipment and tablet were stolen and destroyed, representing years of hard work and creativity. Now, we are homeless, unsafe, sick, and financially insecure.

Our family includes:

My mother, 62.

My sister Mai, 35, visually impaired.

Myself, Mahasen, 31.

My brother Mohammed, 28, visually impaired, and his wife Iman, 28.

My youngest brother Amin, 21.

Your support is crucial to help me rebuild and ensure my family's safety and survival. Your contribution will replace my tools and restore our hope and creativity.
