Unless CX-2 killed her after he got the info we have no clue where she is. After the Batch got to deal with their enemies in a satisfying way, you'd think we'd find out what happened with Cid.
She was a huge part of the first two seasons and was one of the main reasons Omega was taken to Tantiss in the first place!
This doesnt bug me as much as the... Tech situation but still. Maybe they'll answer it in a possible next show? Probably not.
The Bad Batch ending... wow. It was beautiful and emotional.
VAGUE SPOILERS!!!
It's a shame there's a bitterness in me that takes away from those happy feelings though. I feel stupid and led on. I don't know if anyone else feels that way and I will elaborate in a seperate post.
The Bad Batch is still one of my favourite shows and I hope we get more content in the future that resolves some open plot threads. (Or maybe some sort of appearence in Ahsoka? 👀)
Having a Bad Batch Jedi OC is all fun and games until you have to find a way to get rid of them starting from season 3 episode 6 because they can just explain what an M count means and get rid of a lot of conflict. 😭
Sylphona (Durge) reacting appropriately to situations (Part 1):
She doesn't remember anything, she's just been on an mind flayer ship, started plummeting to her death and now she's just chilling on a beach. Give her a minute, she needs it.
"Did this kid really just try and pickpocket me? Amateur."
She didn't know Withers was cool.
Raphael, you may be hot but you can't just magically transport a gyal to your mansion without her freaking out just a little no matter how scrumptious the food (and you) looks.
Uh oh, someone snapped out of their Urges too laaate.
*Insert that one "She knows" sound.* (Seriously Astarion, you couldn't make it more obvious.)
Not everyone chilling way far back leaving Sylphona to deal with this huge bitch. (She did in fact deal with it in a non lethal way but still, come on guys.)
Fucking goblins, amiright? (She's actively thinking of as many goblin slurs as she can.)
"SHIT, SHIT, SHIT. DON'T LIKE THIS ONE BIT."
The last time she slept she murdered Quill but this time the most stunning being she's ever seen is knelt by her, smiling as she wakes up. Is she dead? She's knows she's definitely not in any of the Hells but there's no way she'd be in the heavens.
Finally drew my Durge! Took me a bit to figure out the details because I wanted to make sure she was as cute as she is in game and I think I achieved that (and it also gave me a chance to show off my Dream Guardian who is the most fine being I've ever made in a character creator)
I threw in a few pre game Sylphonas. I've been spoilt some stuff but I wanted to try and guess what she got up to before the whole amnesia thing.
Rambling about the Weave Scene because I swoon every time: FT crap quality gifs and my pretty Durge:
This shot is genuinely so fucking funny to me. When Gale propositions this scene, he has a bit of a flirty tone. Then if you talk to those in camp EVERYONE is like "oh yeah, you're totally fucking later". So my Durge (Sylphona) finally approaches him, her mind set on fucking this man only to see him looking longingly at a projection of his ex. The fucking pan over to her looking so done is the best.
Not going to lie: this gif is the whole reason for this post. I'm a slut for walking around each other while staring into each other's eyes. The tender smiles. I was wrong, they are fucking but with their expressions.
The Narrator says here: "A slither of Weave that tastes sweet on the tongue." And Sylphona LOOKS AT HIM. Not just at him- she glances at his lower face for a split second too! Girl you want him so bad.
"There's something like the anticipation of a kiss." Gale's turn to be down bad. Sylphona even does a little double take when she notices Gale looking back at her.
But of course our boy turns away when Mystra is mentioned by the Narrator. Sylphona has only smiled genuinly in three circumstances: Petting animals, thinking of muder and this. Her smile is strange and awkward but genuine. Also Gale's happiness at sharing this experience with someone. Sylphona is a bard so she knows how magic feels but now she's feeling it the way Gale feels it. They're in harmony.
Nothing really to say here, just wholesome :)
"The night suddenly feels cold and lonesome." Even though Gale seemed receptive to her intrusive thoughts about smooching, she didn't feel a confirmation. Whether this is due to them loosing concentration on the magic or Mystra meddled. (Mystra. When I catch you, Mystra- Mystra when I catch yOU, MYSTRA)
His little "Oh..." when the magic goes. He was enjoying himself :( and THEN "How easily things slip away from us." You can't tell me he didn't want to stay in that image of them together for just a bit longer. And Sylphona just giving him the biggest puppy dog eyes in response.
The fact he keeps his eyes on her as he backs away. They want each other so bad it makes them look stupid. Especially since Gale, babes, I don't know why you're leaving- we're at your tent.
In conclusion: I love this scene. Gale X Durge my beloved.
In the past 6 months I’ve been dealing with a lot of bullshit and even with the lack of photos of me (I’m usually behind the camera and not one to take photos anyways) the photos I do have are mostly me fronting a smile or looking placid at best. I have two instances that produced exceptions
Behold, me (an actor) covered in fake blood looking genuinely happy for the first time in months
First photo is from a yet unreleased horror short film I’m in taken in the kitchen of the dining hall before i rinsed most of it off to drive home in the middle of the night (country roads, 3 am, and having fake blood in my hair was an ass clenching combination. I was convinced I’d be pulled over and arrested for the bloody shirt wrapped in a towel in my backseat)
Second is from my brief stint as Banquo in MacBeth done by a classical theater company I’m a part of. I was offered Banquo or Ross, I chose Banquo with the stipulation I be COATED in fake blood. Obviously the director delivered lmao. You can’t see due to lighting but I’m wearing a throat slit prosthetic that looked pretty gnarly. (Also was convinced I would be pulled over because instead of the secretive element of the prior experience, I was fully coated still, it was broad daylight, and I was driving through a college town)
I still have the bloody shirt btw lmao
So yes, fake blood is essential for Actor’s enrichment and frankly I think all actors unions should write it into their clauses /j (but not really joking that would be rad as fuck and revitalize the practical effects trade)
My first professional acting gig out of college was playing this cutie 🥰
The fake blood I had was minimal (only on my forearms) but it made a difference! Looks a bit patchy in photos due to me having to make sure my costume wasn't touching it while it was drying (I'm still regrowing hairs from gloves sticking and ripping it off) and also it generally scraping and washing away after spending hours on the wet ground.
I miss lining up with the other scare actors to put blood on. Smelled like nail polish. Can't wait to do it all again next year.
In honor of TBB Season 3 trailer just being released (AHHHHH), finally have Rhys' Season 1 reference. And I'll finally do proper art with her and the boys.
Just got to the bit in The Hunger Games where they announce there can be two victors and was gonna post something like:
Imagine if Tumblr was a thing in Panem. You'd have people live posting like "DID YOU SEE HOW FAST KATNISS RAN AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT TO FIND PEETA?! SHE LOVES HIM!!!!"
Before I realised, oh wait. That's just normal tumblr.
Okay so the three most FOUL moments in The Ballad Of Songs And Snakes:
Dill's death.
Wovey asking "Can we go home now? Please?" As she starts sobbing.
The Jabberjays repeating Sejanus calling out for his Ma. (Literally wrote this after pausing the scene to take a moment and when I resume they're also repeated him screaming "Help" I CAN'T-)
