you parents constantly telling u the shit that you've been trying to unlearn surely is smth

can't stop thinking abt the concept of arthur hearing about this 'emrys' throughout different occasions here and there in the beginning of s4, and at first not thinking much of it, then when the name keeps getting repeated from different villains/sorcerers he interacts with, it finally catches his attention and he becomes genuinely concerned. he makes it a bit of a personal mission to find out who he is, but it's all a very lowkey side plot that's not the main focus (think of the 'traitor' arc also in s4). of course he talks about it with merlin, but to avoid suspicion, merlin shuts him down every time and tries to make him think this mysterious sorcerer is nothing to worry about.

as more time goes on, and the more arthur learns about this powerful sorcerer always protecting him from harm, and as much as he hates to admit this to anyone, most of all himself, as he's only ever been taught to hate magic and anything to do with it- he starts realizing 'emrys' is less of this evil entity that he has to hunt down and kill, and more of a guardian angel that he has genuine interest now in getting to meet. which would also be interesting in terms of contradicting morgana's plot in the same season.

then, in the s4 finale, something that merlin does or says at the end makes him finally connect the dots. he says nothing. the season closes with him just.......... left with the unbearable conflict of it all. the feeling of absolute betrayal from his own friend- the closest person to him that he turned out to not really Know at all, the anger at being lied to and his own obliviousness, all with also the gratitude to this man who has been protecting him without asking for anything in return, the confusion of why he's doing any of it, and the question deep down whether he even deserves it. he is just. left with so many questions and contradicting feelings that he just... says nothing. and we are left with this as the cliffhanger for s4's ending.

Fairly Oddlympics will always be one of my favorite season 6 episodes, why is this 10 year old being ganged up on by 3 different heads of government.

Don't they have fairy politics to discuss or whatever lmao, leave him alone.

stan twins the canon cptsd brothers i will always think about all your unaddressed issues that would make perfect plot fuel for your spinoff

and also the whole 'stan getting that poem by bill via a website which contrasts with bill getting one from the axolotl via a website' foreshadowing thing

like idk i would love something like su future but like more optimistic, aka not an accumulated breakdown that has to be mostly resolved off screen at the end :/// but something thats being kinda addressed throughout? (although would love to see one of them turn into a monster thats always fun lol)

stan having severe issues from his dad and those years of being homeless that we keep on getting more info on but never really getting confronted on (the drifter catalogue and tijuana incident...), him being completely alone for like twenty years when running the shack before soos comes along to the point that 1998 is noted as his low point, and him not really learning about bill+what he did to ford until ages after he killed him if he ever did get the full context

while i think amnesia and everyone seeing him as a hero actually helped with stan's 'i'm a worse version of my brother' thing its still a lingering issue too and we now got him being insecure over his own hands

ford being immediately thrown from 'being tortured by bill' to 'being stuck in the multiverse and being chased by bounty hunters constantly', him fully expecting himself to die when destroying bill, and him only now being safe for the first time in 30 years ....relatively safe, he's still in constant danger because of course he is

idk in the end the series wants them to be happy and they deserve it, its why i wasn't too worried about the book being like 'ooh bill is back!! and the book is haunting ford' thing cos i knew they'll be ok

I absolutely understand that this is impossible, but I need Charles and Max to one day share first place in WDC with an absolutely identical number of wins, podiums, and everything like that, so that nothing could elevate one above the other, and the FIA would have to accept that Formula 1 will have two world champions that year. And they would step onto the stage together to receive their trophies, then parade around, waving to the fans like a royal couple.

Getting queerbaited in the big year of 2025, Bobby is STILL dead after weird behaviour from the cast that could imply he’s still alive (???) Athena is STILL miserable and selling the house despite saying she wont ONE EPISODE AGO and Angela Basset is probably leaving because Bobby is STILL DEAD, Chim relieving the same arc for the third fucking time, doing NOTHING with Hen, Maddie’s only story was getting brutalised because they dont know what to do with her, not a single one on one Buddie conversation despite it being one of the MAIN EMOTIONAL STORYBEATS OF THE SEASON, goofy ass baby name, the Texas plot line meaning nothing because it changed fuck all, all important storylines getting resolved off screen, Buck relieving the abandonment arc for the seventh fucking time, Ravi still getting NOTHING to do, OOC Buck and Hen and Eddie oh Tim Minear hell is HOT for you

[messianicfigure]

So Hoopla tells me I’m 50% of the way through oathbringer and also I know some spoilers (many spoilers) so aside from the best character in the entire series (Shallan) and the main character for this book (Dalinar), it is pretty fun for me that my two favorite characters so far are Moash and Elhokar. One is the moral North Star of this book so far (Moash) and the other is like a pitiful wet golden retriever who desperately wants to learn to roll over but is just flopping around on his back, which also makes me suspect of his actual desire to roll over because that isn’t a difficult thing to do (Elhokar). Incredible stuff. Very excited to see when I’m supposed to start hating Moash. Kinda doubting that will happen.

[sleepyvib-es]

idk man the thing about the series post pjo is that it wants you to be aware of all the fucked up traumatic childhoods and systematic abuse all the characters experience but it doesn't want you to be too aware to the point that you're hung up on it and are calling for fundamental changes to the system.

if you dare call out all these issues the response you usually get is "these books are for kids :) what did you expect" "what you want out of it won't happen because this is children's media" .. but like dude look at all the heavy topics we're dealing with here lol. my bad for wanting all these issues acknowledged to the point where there's genuine resolve for these characters

[glitterghost]

After everything and this was the fucking song. God fucking hell. The heartbreaking poetic irony of it all.

[aqualotic]

I know the kids like soft Sonadow and that has its time and place but I need more of Shadow impulsively kissing Sonic with blood staining both their teeth after a viscious fight, after which they proceed to not talk about it for a wholeass decade.
