Dotty has shown to be not so much evil as she is kinda selfish. At least she grew a conscience. Even if it was last minute.

Yes!! It makes me wonder why she changed at the last moment. Was it because the Ah’kon was a kid? I feel like it’s that.

I cringed so badly when Julia ended up being seen running with the kid though, omg.

It seems Dotty has some morals. She wants Tonny to live/be safe/(fairly) distrusts Julia and doesn’t want a young Ah’kon girl to die. I wonder what else…

i will forever believe that gansey and blue can kiss after. idgaf. because what was the point? they did all of that to save gansey and he could still die just by kissing his girlfriend?

with the symbolism of the camaro always being close to breaking down representing gansey’s fragility, and ronan giving them the dream camaro that will keep running seems to show that gansey is safe and will live? it’s clear gansey was always in limbo and in danger after his first death, so that moment and ending feels like he’s moving on and growing up.

especially since it’s shown gansey is almost obsessive with his own death. re-enacting his death, not killing the wasp, dating a girl that could kill him - it doesn’t make sense symbolically that he could still die so easily.

and don’t even get me started on blue, who would literally have to live with the knowledge that she killed gansey, and can still kill him again.

i understand the more tragic elements of the story and why they’re there (noah being forgotten the gangsey going their desperate ways) but like…. it seems pretty clear that gansey does not see a life worth living where he doesn’t get to kiss blue sargent. it just doesn’t make sense to me character and story wise that they have to continue living under the curse and can never truly be free, especially since that’s the end of their story.

Okay I guess this is a hot take but if you are under the age for the fandom you are in (example: if the age rating is 16+ are you are 15 or under) you shouldn’t be like hardcore into the fandom interacting with others of the age limit lmfao much less be an ass about it. Like how tf you gonna be a bug about it when you aren’t the age that should be consuming the media 💀

Uh, even hotter take I guess, respect people’s age boundaries lmao. You crossing one boundary to “bring down” another doesn’t make you right or justify crossing boundaries. They’re there for a reason- protection and/or comfort. Don’t go cherry picking the rules and justifying yourself as some hero.

Just to clear things up, it’s one thing to be indulging on a media you aren’t the age that should be (like teens reading adult reading level books or some tv shows- I’ll admit, I watched the entirety of The Office before I was even 13) but it’s the fact that they go into the fandom and make a problem of themselves and create issues with others.

Don’t go out of your way and cross boundaries to bring others down. If it’s really that bad that makes you think you’re a hero for doing it, then one day karma will likely end up striking that person. In the end, it’ll all simmer out and be how it should be.

I miss Finn in the Marionetta WEBTOON comic. He was such a sweet guy and one of the very few married men where both he and his wife were happily married. Do you suppose he and his wife had any kids and/or grandkids? Do you suppose they know about the circus situation?

Ohhhhh omg I never thought of this!!

I don’t think they had kids and grandkids honestly. The two seemed content with their dogs, and iirc I don’t think it’s Kalgratti law to *have* kids, but only to be married by a certain age.

Finn was a loving person who seemed happy sharing stories of his past, and by now I’d think kids would 100% be mentioned in the story. Wouldn’t they want to see their dad/granddad in Aspett when the circus stopped by? Or if they tried for kids and something went wrong/a child died at a young age, I’m sure we’d see a hint of it as it’d be plot relevant. If he had kids, I’m sure they’d know only a bit less than Helena. We don’t even know what she was told, but we know she couldn’t be told “I’ll live forever in this circus because of magic” (interesting too to think about that, Finn didn’t seem to question or dislike the circus stuff despite being in the military 🤔)

TLDR- no, I don’t think Finn and Helena had kids, as we’d likely see even a soft mention of it by now

The heavy world's upon your shoulders, will we burn on or just smolder? Somehow, I know I'll find you there. Oh, you wanna see if you can change it (change it), still, I know I'll see you there.

↑ I put this verse but they all work, somehow (i wanted to do an even longer drawing at the beginning, sheesh).

Linking music with content is my absolute favorite thing to do. I did it with aftg, and also for trc with this post (muse!!) and obviously the animatic, which happens to have turned 1 year old very recently (happy birthday).

Anyway, I'll do a trc reread soon, last time was two years ago (!!), i've read extracts since but it won't do for much longer.

Reminder for when he “saves” it. He was the one who wanted this, and now he gets to be the hero and win favour with young constituents. Don’t give him the credit for fixing his own problem.

the hardest part of writing is when you fall in love with a scene that has absolutely no place in the story
