"I watched Simon Och Ekarna for the plot"
The plot:
there’s nothing that undoes me as much as that scene where ekko raises his head and starts swinging the clock back and forth.
because if you’ve seen the enemy music video its so clear - beyond Powders relationships to her family? Ekko is the one who held shit together with her. they’re both small, they both look up to Vi and the way she fights and leads and want to be like her somehow. they played together. two tech geniuses with grease on their faces and dirt under their fingernails.
so of course, when he starts wanting to “play” again, jinx gets it. like you see her laugh where seconds ago she’s mad and murderous, and she still is mad and murderous but he’s calling her out. they haven’t played that game since they were KIDS but lets play again - and its not the same at all because here its desperate and bloody and they’re doing this to kill each other because of all the shit thats happened between them but its the same game. she shoots, he swings.
its just that now, only one of them will be left standing. they can’t come back from this. but he says he wants to play one more time, and she honors the game. and they both look like they’re having fun, until they’re not.
i would like to request a hug for me over ekko and jinx cause... of all the things thats the one thats really fucking me up rn

“i just don't know why the stars won't shine at night (...). i hate to see us like this, breaking up on nights just like this. we should be shooting for them stars of gold”
“a thousand miles away from the day that we started, but i'm standing here with you just tryna be honest. if honesty means telling you the truth, well, i'm still in love with you”

Alriiiight! It’s time for the final Dark Crystal reaction post! Woot! (Fair warning, this is a long one)
If this season doesn’t end in a manner that is satisfying to the plot it will destroy a little piece of my soul. :)
*Deet making something* *Rian looking at Brea’s pictures* *BOOM* Rian: DEET?!? Deet: I’m fine! Wholy frick, Deet, did you just make black powder?!? xDDD
Rian: Deet?! What in Thra’s name was that explosion?!? Are you alright?!? Deet: *looks surprised* Rian! Of course, I’m fine, how are you? Pfffffffft, THESE TWO
Deet: I don’t think anything will ever be like it was before again, Rian. “And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? Those were the stories that stuck with you, that meant something.”
WHOLY FRICK, DEET, WHAT IS THAT ON YOUR ARMS, BABY ARE YOU OKAY?!?
What the frick what the frick, HECK I BEEN WAITING NINE EPISODES FOR THE SKEKSIS TO HAVE WINGS BUT THAT’S JUST FREAKY
So what you’re telling me is that the Archer is just MOSTLY dead, but not ALL dead. Which, by extension, means that THE HUNTER IS TOO, WHY
WHOLY FRICK NO
DEET HAS AMOUR
“I wanna squish the green one!” YOU TOUCH DEET AND I WILL TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB AND THROW YOUR MUTILATED CORPSE IN THE LAKE TO BE DEVOURED BY MINNOWS
Ohhhh, Rian just threw down the gauntlet
“Are you sure about this?” “No.” WELL AT LEAST YOU’RE HONEST RIAN “But I have hope.” AWWW
“I’m no killer!” Rian, baby, I hate to tell you this, but you’re in a war, killing is part of the business.
WHAT THE FRICK DID THE SWORD DO, DID... did it just reabsorb essence? Is that the lil piece of the Crystal that went missing?
What’s the fuzzy growling fluffball called? A fizzgig? I LOVE IT
Also, can I just say I love how Rian keeps jumping around, you go baby
Um, the General just turned to dust?!
FRIGGIN HUNTER, STOP RANDOMLY GRABBING RIAN I SWEAR, YOU ARE THE LITERAL EMBODIMENT OF A JUMPSCARE
The Archer just turned to fairy dust
YES I KNEW AUGRHA WOULD COME BACK
“Mother Aughra! Are you alright?!” “No! I just came back from the dead!” Oh my gossssssssh xDD
*screaming far too loud for it being midnight* YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I KNEW THEY’D COME RIGHT WHEN ALL HOPE SEEMED LOST AND THE SKEKSIS WERE TAUNTING THEM
IT TAKES TIME TO GATHER AND MOVE A FREAKING ARMY OKAY
YASSS, UNITE MY LITTLE PEOPLE, RIDE NOW, FOR RUIN AND THE WORLD’S ENDIIIIIIIINGGGGGGGGGGG
I... I expected the Darkening thing
I.... did not expect Deet to single handedly thwart it like that
I mean I sort of did, I expected her to use her power somehow, but wholy crap baby, what
“Get away from my friends.” SHE JUST, SHE JUST REDIRECTED THE DARKENING AT THEM WHOLY ACTUAL CRAP DEET
I LOVE YOU BABY, I LOVE YOU SO FREAKING MUCH
ARE YOU OKAY?!?
SHE JUST SENT THE SKEKSIS INTO AN ALL OUT RETREAT
Pffffffft, Gurjin hugging the giant spider tho
I love that the Gelfling’s reaction after a battle is to just hug each other
I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE LIL CRYSTAL
Did... did Deet BECOME the Darkening?!? SHE IS NOT OKAY, SOMEONE HELP HER, SHE’S ABOUT TO GO DISAPPEAR LIKE ELEVEN AT THE END OF STRANGER THINGS SSN 1
RIAN DON’T YOU DARE LEAVE HER TO JUST WANDER IN THE WOODS LIKE THAT
*INCOHERENT SCREAMING*
That creature that the Scientist created is NOT IN ANY WAY OKAY
“Hope is fragile, like a crystal shard.”
Welp. Okay. This... this sort of ended how I expected it to. But at the same time not. I need Deet to be okay immediately. I need her to not have to wander around the woods alone, killing the things she loves.
But also, I do like hope, hope’s a good emotion.
Right, when do we get season 2?
While on my period and emotionally unstable, I decided to watch Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
And let me tell you, it wasn't one of my brightest decisions
Dan: What are you gonna miss about me?
