Gwyn: Is it true that an Illyrian's wingspan has a positive correlation with their lower genitalia? Azriel: Their what? Gwyn: Lower genitalia. Penis. Dick. Cock. Phallus - Azriel: *dryly* I know. Why are you asking me this? Gwyn: It's for research purposes. Azriel: ... Uh-huh. Gwyn: Really. Do you want to be my test subject? Azriel: *stares at Gwyn dumbly* Gwyn: If you're not free, I can ask Balthazar - Azriel: *immediately* I'm free. Free is my middle name. What do you need me to do?

Hope's Review of S3: Creloise

Eloise Storyline…

For me it started well. Eloise started to realise how to be a true friend, and understand the privileges and flaws in her character. I HOLLERED at the screen when Cressida finally called Eloise out.

And then part 2 happens and it all got dropped like a dead fish. (see more below in my chat about Cressida).

It makes complete sense that Eloise went back to Pen. It was quite obvious. And I liked all the titbits and moments of build up to the reconciliation.

I do like that Eloise was protective of Colin and pushed Penelope to tell him. Was it done in the 100% best way? Perhaps not.

However, there seemed to be a complete 180 of Eloise with Cressida. No empathy. No sympathy. No understanding. “An absolute viper”, Hun, Pen sat in your drawing room for years and purposefully wrote about your sisters prospects to the point she was almost forced to marry Nigel Berbrooke. Where’s your empathy? Where's the Eloise that visited Cressida during calling hour to check if she was alright?

I like Eloise as a character and this season could have seen some real foundational growth. I had such hopes for her, for she is a character with such potential. But part 2 dashed my hopes…maybe next season?

I did like that she returned to wishing to change the world. I’m glad she’s leaving for Scotland and will hopefully be able to grow up a bit next season.

Cressida storyline.

For me it started so well. Cressida and Eloise’s friendship I thought was very good for both of them. Eloise called Cressida out. Cressida called Eloise out.

And then part 2…

They gave the set up, the screentime and background and then relegated Cressida to a simple antagonist.

Honestly, I feel that Cressida’s storyline suffers from the season being split in two.

For if you watched the season in continuity then you would see the overarching arc of a girl who had the potential to change, but instead descends into greater desperation and cruelty in an attempt to fight against the walls that are closing in on her. And the tragedy? Is that part 1 showed that Cressida could change if not for the stifling oppression bared down by her situation. Cressida did not have to be a mere antagonist; she could have been a tragic antagonist.

But with the series split, they literally ‘split’ Cressida. Part 1 Cressida showed a positive redemption arc for her. Then we had a break. And when we got back, we saw Cressida the antagonist, so I think her arc felt disjointed.

I also think that if one saw the overarching scenes, then the whole of Cressida's backstory scenes do have the purpose of setting up the blackmail plot. It would not be enough to just suddenly have Cressida find out about Whistledown. But again with the season split in two I feel that continuity was lost. With the ending we got, I'm not sure they needed that many scenes to set this plot point up.

Now, I must say that this does not excuse her behaviour. It does not mean Cressida's slate should be wiped clean. Even if she returns, she needs to actively make amends and apologise.

But the fact that she just gets carted off at the end of the season?

Hey? You know what would have been interesting? You know what would have been #girlboss and #feminisim? Eloise understanding that Cressida’s actions are wrong and harmful, yet having some actual empathy and understanding that Cressida is merely trying to save her freedom and future. The very things Eloise wishes to champion in women!!!! And so, helping Cressida escape. And Pen could show how she has overcome her past pain that festered in Whistledown and she will be the bigger person and use Whistledown to help Cressida. Or even use her wiles and Whistledown resourcefulness to mask Cressida's escape? Why not have Pen have this last word over Cressida? Why not show that Eloise is willing to actually do something for once?

You know what that’s called?

Gosh how they handled that infuriated me. The onyl reason I can think of to send Cressida away (as if she deserved her fate) is because they want her as a *shock* reveal in a future season.

In the meantime, I’m going to write a little plot for S4 that not only brings Cressida back in a productive way, but also showcases Sophie’s nature, and how Sophie is a BADASS + kicks Eloise up the butt for her character development. Oh, and links with the main plot. As the purple grape once said.

I had to pause at this because, dude, the man you are rescuing literally had a bamboo pole through his leg. If you didn't think about blood loss and a fever than it's not him who needs the scolding. Seriously.

I hope u guys like the fae stuff cause that's not going away soon.

Sorry if this may be a sensitive question but I have to know. After you died, did you think your son killed you on accident or think that Yani Yogi had killed you.

On one hand Yani attacked you, on the other hand you might have seen Miles throw the gun. Did you really lie during your channeling to protect your son?

“The first few days after my channeling are.. fuzzy, so to speak. I was an emotional wreck.

I don’t remember quite exactly what was going on, other than no one would tell me where my son was and that I didn’t know anyone there. Those 7 hours of interviewing were grueling.”

“I never thought Miles had killed me. The safety on the gun should have been on, and Miles didn’t know how to operate a firearm. It seemed impossible. But, I didn’t know anyone who would kill me.

… I don’t know why I admitted that it was most likely Yogi who shot me. I wish I could have held strong with the fact I didn’t know who did it. Yogi’s life was ruined, and I feel guilty for my part in directing the police force to arrest him. I don’t know where he is, but I’m sorry.”

plurality meeting

notice that some characters have one person but multiple bodies, as opposed to multiple people in one body! I have no idea what that symbolizes though, but I'm sure it symbolizes something

Roy: What are you three up to? Them: We're going to the plurality conference. Roy: Sounds good. Mind if I join? Them: The more, the merrier!

(Soon, various people are sitting at a long table.)

Roy: I also think a forest should have a minimum of 5 trees, a group of Two Words-es should be called an evenword, dust should always have exactly four motes, blah blah blah... Two Words: Never, ever, ever call me an evenword. Aaxia: Wasn't this meeting supposed to be about plural SYSTEMS??? Akor: The plural of the word "system" is "systems". Ixix: "System" doesn't sound like a word anymore. Ixix: System. System. Systern. System.
