pynch is awesome because adam thinks of ronan as being a bad influence that corrupts his innocent straightlaced nature by getting him to act like a reckless teenage boy instead of being the model scholarship student. its not that there isnt any truth to it. ronan is practically defined by reckless behavior. but the stuff ronan talks adam into doing is like. getting into a shopping cart and rolling across the grocery store parking lot. or dragging each other behind the back of a car on a skateboard. and adam is like ronans dangerous hes a savage hes sharp like a knife hes a dark enigma i dont know why i go along with his antics (he does)....but when its adam convincing ronan to do something its "lets fabricate evidence of our latin teacher abusing and murdering little kids and stand outside in his yard and throw a bag of chopped up body parts at him to run him out of town" girl HUH? and ronan is like yeah i basically view adam as an object of worship. and youre like wait hold on you think of him like hes a saint? and ronans like no. hes going to hellll 😁🩷

What really makes this for me is that OP could have phoned it in on the chorus and just repeated the same fics, but no. They found a unique one every time. Class act.

When I say that Chosen is a great series finale to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, what I mean is that Chosen makes a number of very correct choices that I think bring Buffy's (and Buffy's) story to an incredibly graceful and satisfying end.

I'm talking about the refusal to have Buffy define her future by choosing one potential romantic partner over another; about having Buffy remind us that she's still a young woman with her whole life ahead of her (and as such "I'm not finished becoming whoever the hell I'm going to be"). I'm talking about the spell to activate the Potentials, and Willow's central role in that, and how that manages to both work as both an end to the story of Willow's ambivalence around her magical powers while also finally giving Buffy a way to break free from the shackles that have been tying her down since the start of the show ("In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone...").

I'm talking about the way the show finally gives Buffy a chance to make her own path. To stop being "she alone" without dying or giving up her powers or knowledge of the supernatural. I'm talking about the show finally taking seriously the ideas of multiple Slayers it's been playing with since Season 2; I'm talking about the shots of new Slayers being called all over the world. I'm talking about the Core Four all making it out alive; I'm talking about the symbolism of all of Sunnydale collapsing into a crater; I'm talking about the last spoken words of the show being Dawn asking her sister what they're going to do next, and Buffy smiling without answering as she imagines a previously impossible tomorrow.

When I say that Chosen is a great series finale to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, what I don't mean, and would never want to imply, is that Chosen is a good episode of television.

Nona the Ninth says important things like "even in the cruelest most broken world love can still matter" and "righteous fury is still fury and can be so destructive" and "mass suicide cancelled I forgot there was a dog"

On one hand, there is a fundamental disconnect between Gideon and Harrow's attitude to their relationship by the end of GtN; Harrow wants to stop using and exploiting Gideon, and Gideon meanwhile has decided to embrace being used and exploited by Harrow. But I think Gideon's understanding of their relationship post-pool scene is also influenced by the fact that Harrow asks Gideon to return to the Ninth. Gideon has just forgiven Harrow for trapping her in a life of abuse and slavery on the Ninth, in large part because Harrow expressed such intense regret about it and displayed a level of empathy for Gideon's pain that she had never shown before. And then Harrow immediately... tries to trap Gideon into abuse and slavery on the Ninth again.

And from Harrow's perspective the request makes sense! She doesn't want Gideon to die for her, but she has a responsibility to stay alive in order to care for the Ninth and Alecto. So this is the obvious compromise. And it's also her attempt at reversing the power dynamic of the necrocav relationship, and asserting that Gideon's life is more valuable than hers.

But at the same time, you can see it as a cheap way of trying to "make amends" in the technical sense, and therefore assuage Harrow's guilt, while also doing nothing to actually help Gideon. Harrow gets to die "saving" Gideon, feeling righteous, making up for the sin of her birth, etc, and Gideon has to go back to the Ninth. In one way, the request is yet another instance of Harrow exploiting Gideon to meet her own needs and desires.

She's also reasserting the idea that Gideon has a duty to the Ninth. When Gideon's supposed duty to the Ninth has always been used as a justification for their abuse and exploitation of her, and when she has just learned that they tried to kill her as a baby and spent the next eighteen years punishing her because she didn't die for their heir. With this context, insisting on Gideon's duty to the Ninth is essentially the same as insisting that Gideon is still the Ninth's property, and therefore still Harrow's property.

I think when Harrow asks Gideon to return to the Ninth, what this tells Gideon is that their relationship will always be a fundamentally exploitative one. Even if Harrow feels bad about it, even if she tries to do better or to make it into something different, she will always prioritise the needs of herself and the Ninth above Gideon. Even if Harrow thinks she's building a better relationship with Gideon, she will always be using Gideon for her own ends, while maybe not even realising she's doing so.

Harrow is devastated about Gideon's death, of course, but I think one thing she doesn't realise is that by asking Gideon to go back to the Ninth she essentially told Gideon how to relate to her, and how to treat her, and what the terms of the relationship would be. And Gideon accepted the relationship on those terms, because she realised that she was genuinely important to Harrow, in a way she had never been for anyone else. So of course Gideon sacrificed herself for Harrow, and of course Harrow was surprised by it; Gideon understood what the relationship was, and always would be, in a way that Harrow didn't.

And of course you have the ambiguity around Gideon's self-sacrifice as well... The way it is the ultimate display of Harrow's domination and exploitation of Gideon, with Gideon making herself into an object for Harrow to use and consume... And at the same time it's Gideon forcing herself on Harrow, using Harrow for her own ends, asserting power over Harrow... Dying for Harrow in a controlling and exploitative way, as Harrow wanted to do for her! Forgiveness!

Maura Sargent is so character, got her boy toy in her bed and her baby daddy in her pantry. abandoned said Boy toy in her house after disappearing underground to find said baby daddy. Queer platonic relantionship with the women she met on the highway hitch hiking. Orla if your fucking somebody you need to kick him out I got my daughters best friends corpse here and he's screaming. Did not tell said daughter she was a tree.

I love how Declan's way of trying to be comforting towards Mathew was this:

like dude, if you want to be comforting, THAT IS NOT HOW YOU SHOULD START YOUR SENTENCE.

these were also my thoughts at the time;

I love Declan, but this guys emotional constipation will never not be funny.

Camilla Hect is such an underrated character. The human version of the "oh, I guess we're doing [batshit crazy change in schedule that would send everyone else into madness] now" meme. Cavalier, hostage, foster parent, getaway driver and more. The type of person to say "it could be worse" after the literal worst is already happening. Whatever she and Palamedes have is the equivalent of having a long distance relationship while also literally fusing together like anglerfish, at the same time. Leaving voice messages and texts to her boyfriend in the myriadth year of the lord to resurrect the spirit of Discord. Being called a dog by Silas might've been foreshadowing that the c. in c. familiaris stands for Camilla the way she's not letting go of those bones. She is a good contender for character of all time.

She did all of that. The Scholar grindset.

"Camilla and Palamedes' relationship is the normalest one in the series" I'm gonna stop you right there. they're second cousins who have a codependent situationship to the point of literally becoming one person. when he died, she wore his bones in a pouch around her neck, refusing to let go of them even after she got electrocuted for it. his soul inhabitated her body, which was slowly killing her, but she was ok with that. they could only communicate by recording messages for each other. they're both in a situationship with a dead woman. compared to all that, griddlehark's whole deal sounds like a coffeeshop au

[rosenkranz-isnt-dead]

my bad, they are indeed in a situationship with TWO dead women 🙂‍↕️
