Okay so it’s that time of the day (I’m over-analyzing the OBX3 trailer) and I’ve come to some realizations that I felt compelled to share.

So, we’re all familiar with this shot of JJ punching the ground. There’s been a lot of theories that say maybe they lose Kie in this scene and that’s why he’s angry/upset - which I definitely thought possible because during the legendary hug, they’re wearing the same outfits.

But this time around, I noticed the scene immediately before we see the shot of him punching the ground is the exact same scene. It’s hard to tell because everything moves so quickly, but it’s not two scenes cut together, it’s one.

We can see JJ in the back, in the same position he’s in in the closer shot, and also we can see that Kiara is completely fine and present. So, that’s not what JJ’s upset about.

It’s a small detail but it’s just something that intrigued me!

Andraste's Death

What... if it wasn't actually fire? The lyrium idol, Meredith, the blights, darkspawn, red-fucking-lyrium. The history of this world is blight soaked in its darkest corners.

What if she was... not burned by actual flame, but something like flame? Something red as fire. Something that spreads. Something that devours. Something that can do worse than just kill. Something... Andraste could sing through.

I know, I know, the Ashes. "Burning Darkpawn is the best way to dispose of them, so the corpses can't taint or get anyone sick," was basically what that soldier was telling a group in Ostagar.

Maybe... ah, fuck. Ignore me. I'm spinning a lore web without enough threads, prolly. :|

I was trying to say singing, she sang while she died yeh? The red lyrium addled mention hearing a song. Blighted shit and massive historical cover ups is a running them in the series. Blights. The Maker turning his back on his entire people has to be for a worse reason than just burning her alive, right? :/

The newest Noragami chapter... is not even a chapter?.. And now Kazuma is a nora? 

Both Yato and Kazuma are so sad and depressed, and Hiyori’s not doing too great either. Like, I just want them all to be happy? Is that too much to ask?

How is Yato even going to be able to defeat trash dad now? He gave Kazuma the family name and called him Kazune, so like now there is going to be even MORE angst I can just feel it in my bones. 

And that last line (“To save you, I must betray you”) is so vague and does NOT bode well.

per my last post

if emilie agreste was an actress, bc of course she was,,,

why is the media not talking abt her disappearence???

like an esteemed actress, who is also the wife and mom of a famous fashion designer and model goes missing

you can't tell me there isn't at lease 1 (one) conspiracy theorist out there trying to figure that shit out

or like,,,

a day of mourning or smth in paris? in france?

lets talk about the case file the clave has on magnus, as seen in 2x05

the clave has on record that he was born in batavia, dutch east indies, but they do not have a date of birth. this tells us that even the goddamn clave doesn’t know when magnus was really born

his specialties include healing magic, potions (both liquid and powder form) and “known downworld liaison to vampires, werewolves”. isn’t it interesting that the 3 things the clave has listed for him are painting him as a diplomat & a healer

among the mundane professions that are known to the clave he’s been a coiffeur/hairdresser (1847-1865), the owner of pandemonium (currently) as well as involved in “real estate” (1971-1986). what do the quotation marks mean? does the clave simply not know what it means? does it imply some sketchy business on magnus’ part? maybe he was buying and selling real estate to harbor fugitives? (see below)

in total he has been charged with 5 clave violations; one in 1980, two in 2003, and two in 2016. in 1980 he has a clave violation for “unresolved mundane appearance” which sounds very interesting. the next two violations, in 2003, were for harboring downworld fugitives. this brings up a lot of interesting questions. i find it hard to believe this was the first time he’s been involved in sheltering fugitives, especially since we know he takes pride in the work he does helping fellow downworlders. instead i think this was just the first time he got caught, which is both impressive and very characteristic of him. what if he’s been in the business of housing & sheltering fugitive downworlders ever since his “real estate” period in the late 1900s? we know he was sheltering warlocks in his apartment when valentine was looking for them. if the current shadowhunter society is anything to go by, downworlders must have faced prosecution and oppression since forever, so it would make sense that magnus early on became involved in sheltering his downworlder peers in times of need. the last violations, in 2016, were for “wrongful imprisonment” and “aiding & abetting” which is probably what he got punished for in 2x04.

ok so @magsbanes post about jocelyn got me thinking (spoilers under the cut)

what if that wasn’t actually jocelyn who got killed? we know valentine has been experimenting with dark shit for years. what if he found out a way to glamour a body to look like someone else, without it looking like a glamour (so the other shadowhunters can’t detect it). this is assuming that regular glamours disappear when a person dies, but maybe they don’t?

so either he just regularly glamoured jocelyn, or it’s some ~special glamour~. point is: the dead body is not actually jocelyn.

instead, valentine has found a way to smuggle her out of the institute, and now she’s being held captive. (there’s a whole discussion to be had here about the absolute fucking horror of her being back with her abuser, but that’s for another time)

now, we know that as of 2x06, luke is still missing since the demon attack (x). what if he saw jocelyn be taken and is out looking for her? alternatively, he’s also been captured by valentine, which could open up a whole new insight into valentine and luke’s ex-parabatai bond. this might even make more sense, because i doubt luke would just bolt and leave clary thinking her mother is dead. it’s still possible that he did leave voluntarily, though, because as he said, "when valentine took you, i promised myself it was the last time i’d ever be without you”. i doubt there was much time to think it through and luke loves jocelyn so much so maybe it’s not that unlikely that he just threw himself into the chase headfirst.

basically, i think there’s a reason we never got to see luke finding out about jocelyn. knowing luke and how attached he is to jocelyn, i think he would be the first person there. i also think there’s a reason we got the first jocelyn kiss in the same episode jocelyn is “killed”. either that’s because they wanted her death to hurt more, in which case it’s shitty writing because there’s nothing admirable about killing an abuse survivor after she’s finally found reconciliation in another love. or it’s a ploy to throw us off, to get us thinking that it’s just done for shock value, when in reality they’re setting up for more depth to valentine’s cruelty, as well as luke and jocelyn’s love for each other.
