Oh this dynamic between Brennan and Robbie in the open is fucking delicious

NBA Fujos took over my Twitter timeline somehow a few weeks ago and long story short now I have strong opinions about basketball ships and am reading RPF for the first time in my life

once you realize you don’t actually need to sleep, you can really (stops talking abruptly and stares straight ahead for 4 minutes)

I know that Robbie, Travis, and Ashley have been a little more subtle compared to other players at the table, but the moments when they do show vulnerability and glimpses of their past have been truly so impactful and wonderful to watch.

Teor's scene with his brother and reciting the poem their father used to tell them. Every single scene Vaelus has had with Hannan. Kattigan's cold open with Tyranny exposing the grief he's been dodging around. An absolute masterclass!

With the confirmation that King Gus is gay, we now have another contender for the funniest possible Julien Davinos political marriage candidate.

Rich pretty boys fighting is a spectator sport

I would never in a million years have shipped Occtis and Murray but if the boy is hot for teacher I love him so much I'll support it.

Wizard flirting. As awkward as you imagined.

Meeting Tsul'reksh was probably the best thing to happen to tyranny thus far in her journey in regards to truly setting up her arc. Her and her sisters were created with the specific purpose to serve the creed, and we can assume she's had no other interactions with demons apart from them. The sisters have more human names. Not only that, but despite them still being obviously demons, they also have more appealing/palatable bodies. They were brought into this environment that is forcing them into a specific mold, and yeah, Tyranny might be aware that the creed is bullshit (she was in on it after all) but she still subscribes to their belief that demons are inherently corrupt creatures with no chance of being "saved". She was never given the chance to understand what she truly is outside of the propaganda that's surrounded her from day one.

And Tsul'reksh knows the creed is full of crap too. She also knows what she is and who she is. When she tells Tyranny that her/the knife's purpose is to hurt others, it's not said out of malice, but out of understanding. Because she's had the years of experience when it comes to battling with her own nature. It's not something to be afraid of, but rather something to work with. She knows what it's like to have to navigate this plane, when to conform and when to not. In a way, this is almost like a glimpse into what Tyranny's future could look like - one where she let's go of her fear and embraces what she is. Because she simply just is.

(and then on the other side of things, Araq sort of acts like this extreme mirror to where Tyranny is at right now. Desperate and in pain and yearning the freedom that the "Light" offers.)

[raisondetriment]

I'm fascinated by the emerging characterization of Araman Demons as less like sinful and corrupting agents of some cosmic evil, and more akin to a destructive force that comes as part of a natural life cycle, like a wildfire or a volcano.

Granted, we are taking a literal demon's words at face value - but not only did she seem just as oddly concerned with honesty as a faerie would be... the fey and the Old Path are already being - deliberate word choice here - demonized by the Candescent Creed, the inheritors of the Shapers who conquered and subjugated those same ancient tribes of fairy, titan, and demon...

[revvethasmythh]

I did have a better idea, but everybody said no. I can get into the fucking place!
