the biggest problem i had with the dragon prince is sokka’s voice for callum and the irish accent for rayla. i just cannot take it seriously

warming to her accent, but callum’s voice is just - arghghghghg

also though the king is super cool, the way he tells the story, the humans were just super shit.

ok that heart to heart was better

the fuckin naruto run lol

finding it more palatable now i know viren’s not an actually evil dude, just using dark magic is all

but episode two has got wayyy better pacing

Claudia turns out to be hella powerful and i love that

lol wtf. that line just launched millions of harrow/viren ships

(if the egg wasn’t destroyed why didn’t viren TELL harrow. viren is a shitty friend alright. edit: im thinking, was it claudia?? but she would have been too young. edit edit: viren IS a power-hungry dude, but WHY? what the hell does he want)

how did Rayla INSTANTLY decide to align herself with callum and ezran against renaan??? when he refused to back down. she seems thrilled at fighting him! what the fuck!

the scene-changing feels super unpolished tbh. it’s very realistic - and therefore not super conducive to smooth storytelling. callum goes to see the king like three times in a row. it’s like using the same word over and over in a piece of writing

gotten used to callum’s voice

all callum does at the top of the tower is fail to talk with his dad, lose his voice to viren, get it back, be convinced viren is a villain, get no response to calling his dad, dad, abandon his dad for no reason i can really see.

the plans all fail. viren lashes out and thinks callum is a shitty commoner (lol)

i dont really fuckin understand how from this mess, callum concluded that neither harrow nor renaan would want to return the egg. so little trust in harrow. and yeah, renaan wants to kill harrow, but then rayla goes against him for no real reason - to... distract him from killing harrow - which she shouldn’t particularly care about So Much (if she’s thinking about a feud, then have her reference Callum’s point) and which isn’t worth sacrificing her life for, and which won’t stop him in the long run, and even if she did, she’s willing to go back to protect him AGAIN for ....callum? i don’t get it

like, just go up there with the egg, show it to them elves, show it to harrow. ?

tonally this is fucking weird because they’re like, team-bonding about having a quest now while up in the tower right NOW all their adults are fighting each other to the death lol

ezran has gone from annoying to adorable though

SO ALL THESE GUARDS ARE DEAD!!! AND ALL THE MOONSHADOW ELVES ARE DEAD!!! (i guess?? they weren’t as invincible as they fucking said?? wtf??)

oh right Harrow, IS dead. but not really because clearly and obviously Viren did something.

hoping: that this mess resolves itself in the next episodes as the adopt a travel format.

i can’t tell exactly what makes the narrative so messy. but it feels extremely messy. i need to think about it. i think it’s because it seems super counter intuitive how all these kids are responding to the circumstances

i know they’re trying to be nuanced and create ambiguities. but i don’t know how to feel about it

they still had guards left? to carry the coffin? lol

not sure why mourning the king has to be cut short because of war. like what are they gonna do, the guards dead, apparently zero nobles in this ‘kingdom’, the princes both LOST LOL

and claudia and the brother are both completely unaffected by Harrow’s death. they’re like: damn so tired ugh im gonna have a sip of coffee in this highly sad procession. they don’t give a FUCK. oh callum and ezran are dead ? these kids shrug - i was kinda friends with em but whatever

jfc

lol CLASSIC villain, im gonna usurp the throne now Viren. what the fuck is up with him. one moment he’s like, gotta save YOU! the next he’s like, gonna get me some power

i just canNOT get a read on these characters. i know they’re like supposed to be 15 or something. but can’t tell if callum is responsible or reckless. and rayla seems like such a SUCKER one moment, and the next she’s all chagrined, one moment tormented, the next, thrilled at betraying her people.

also i CANNOT deal with the sense of humour in this. like lets spend time on recounting a stupid dream? WHO CARES. rayla comes in, oh i was so taken with your insecurity lets risk EVERYTHING. i mean??? what a LOSER. why would she give in??

‘no more detours alright?’ THEY ARE GOING ON THE FIRST DETOUR EVER AND  SHE’S OKAYED IT

this winter lodge is like, a tiny house. this king is not very rich. it’s an early king?

there are NO servants in the whole damn castle OR in the winter lodge. just soldiers, always soldiers. it’s just ridiculous. it’s frozen all over again - ROYALTY IS SUPPORTED BY A HUGE UNDERCLASS THAT DOES THE DAY TO DAY STUFF OF LIVING. (apart from it ruining realistic worldbuilding, it also feels like it just forgets about/erases the truth of everyday life, of peace, and of the unprivileged classes)

‘it won’t work, humans and elves don’t trust each other’ - uhhh ok, but why is Callum so sure of this. he has no experience

why has rayla just been ducking around the rafters and running around the roof. could just have chilled out. i appreciate that they wanna show off her cool parkour but it’s been already three times that they play her running around like a very quick ninja as ‘cool! oh wow! stakes!’

SO AMAYA JUST FUCKIN WRECKS RAYLA. i hate how literally every fight in this makes me think: great, now these two idiots are fighting each other for no real reason

OMG ELVES HAVE ONLY FOUR FINGERS?? ok thats a very cool little thing

i know this is like super on the nose storytelling like - hey actually FIGHT racist stereotypes, using them doesn’t fuckin work

but it’s so grating

lol - nobody saw the hostage bullshit comign? nobody is like, hmmmm these boys are going along with this girl suprisingly voluntarily

yeah so harrow’s spirit is definitely in a bird now. did nobody notice that just before Harrow died, he flailed about like a bird?

i can’t keep going

[theskyexists]

feel sick, my eyes feel weird because i looked at my phone too much and didnt take out my damn contacts, am kinda hungry but don’t feel like eating, feel sad and scared for no reason as i apparently always do at rest, my dad has to be operated on tomorrow with some risk of partial facial paralysis (and ofc anaesthetics could kill ya), i can’t really think, i have to do actual work tomorrow. feel so so tired.

BUT i did finish my first outline for this paper and all because past me spent time on it already so thanks past me, me. and i got an 8.5 for that one exam and honestly why do i stress myself out so much when the standards aren’t that awfully high.

[theskyexists]

wait now that i think about it, how did we go from ‘everything has its time and everything dies’ (heyy Moffat borrowed that from Davies for ten! nice)

to ‘i don’t like endings’ was that just ten’s quadruple companion/Master trauma (i.e. Donna taking the absolute cake)?

Did Eleven do a couple (?) of thousand years of recovery from that, overcoming all that denial (’i’m not gonna LOOK at the endings’) somewhere along the line? Making peace with River dying/disappearing from his life forever, and getting some peace from the Ponds getting an arguably nice long mundane life to live out together? And then Twelve of course (GOD THAT DELIVERY) ‘endings are always sad’ but having had a final long hurrah with River?

interestingly enough, the Doctor is like: i carry them with me. what they would have done, what they would have thought. (A GREAT DEVELOPMENT)

And Graham says: Grace would have wanted me to kill Tim Shaw, as a way to stop him. Is that true??? Or is he just saying that? because that would have been genuinely interesting.

[theskyexists]

i do believe that they’re setting up Ellie’s family as the killers

[theskyexists]

i watched ‘the girl who died’

very GOOD doctor-clara interactions here - and i can appreciate the HURT and struggle that 12′s going through - that’s some real shit. and the baby stuff - very good

absence of women + explicitly lampshaded: very bad

horns on viking helmets: COME ON, bad

i am liking 12 more and more. very brash

i am watching the woman who lived

FASCINATING idea. love its execution. i’ve heard no argument from the doctor

he did give a good one (how to value life)

but - the event that catalysed such a complete change (that smile during the talk - hm) did not seem explosive enough

anyway good immortality introspection

moving on to the raven episode

NOT as good writing - very choppy scene changing. clara has regained some annoying quality

wtf a cyberman loved?

god. wow that was actually. REALLY. SAD. GOD. i cried. they actually had a good dynamic as fuck

heaven sent

this was actually A GREAT episode that ive seen the latter half of and Steven MOffat actually did a way good job there

IT IS REALLY SCARY EVEN THOUGH I KNEW WHAT IS GOING ON OMG

moffat CAN do such good horror!!!!!!!!

the only dumb thing about this episode is that he just spent 20 billion years experiencing a loop to keep something secret - and when he escaped it he just straight up told them

hell bent

why is gallifreyan fashion straight from a western? thats fucking stupid

but if this implies that the doctor comes from a peasant family im fine with it

the confession dial being ritual purification before dying and being uploaded to the matrix is a FASCINATING bit of lore

moffat LOVES brining his angels back endlessly

it sucks that it comes down to this. this weird memory wipe thing thats directly recycled from RTD ? why. it has nothing to do with the original dilemma of destroying time. this threat to Clara from the Timelords is ephemeral and sudden

this whole doctor is fascinatingly paternalistic in this - ‘i have a duty of care’. i actually think it’s a good exploration.

it just - makes no sense - it makes no sense that the doctor loses clara like this and clara is just fine and dandy. it’s a stupid twist - it’s a misdirection to get out of resolving the dilemma of clara’s life vs. time fracturing

in a way that was nice - it makes sense after a while - but mostly emotionally. even ashildr gets what she wanted in the end - having had to see half the universe first of course. it does NOT make sense that she forgets her life but keeps all her skills long enough that she can dodge every single danger until the end of time and makes it to the gallifrey matrix in exactly the right spot BUT

it‘s nice - Moffat got Clara out of her death somehow by giving her a TARDIS. it’s.....nice. but it’s fucking a tidal wave in time and narrative that doesnt make any sense

i suppose it was a way to separate the Doctor from her and

Clara in a way became emancipated from the Doctor - he was no longer the portal to time and space.... i guess i’m old-fashioned that I like the fae nature of the Doctor too much to appreciate it

also the question of the Hybrid and the prophecy is never resolved

Izetta 6

Lol

Jonas just straight up runs from his superiors after eavesdropping on them and then instantly tells his buddy about knowing about an essential fucking secret? LOL

i KNOW that this is plot bullshit but my god, this boy is fucking dumb

Izetta’s Final Fantasy outfit with the flaps of cloth on her arms and one leg is still ridiculous but i can laugh about it now

at least they handle the MANDATORY FUCKING breast comparisons of anime with some humour and refinement on Finé’s part. godd fucking hell

wow. so uh, Bianca absolutely has a fervent and age-old crush on Finé haha

Finé goes from embarrassed about being caught sneaking into a pie shop, to making an impromptu speech to the People about making sure Eylstadt can afford to always eat pies again soon. SHE IS A NATURAL AT MORALE BOOSTING???? xD

Finé SO NATURALLY HUGS IZETTA IN SUPPORT IN PLAIN SIGHT OF EVERYBODY LIKE FDkJLJSDFJDWFJLDSFJ:DSFKd

she does not keep her distance at all like??!?!?!?

‘beloved tomboy image’ like....why do they keep calling that ‘tomboy’? is taht really the correct translation?

woah so Sieg’s man is actually COMPETENT immediately figuring out that there’s a spy?? damn!

but then Sieg goes and does not share essential information with Izetta and Finé. he doesn’t with the fucking ARCHDUCHESS??? what the hell is he doing? why??

the gunshots effects in teh show are terrible. but also, won’t Sieg’s man actually prevent Jonas from dying and the spy escaping with the info? NO! because plot

wow he’s a bit late. also, Jonas could just have lied. like. that is always an optiion when you’re tortured? in fact that is what most people do when they are tortured?? because it’s obvious?

Oh shit. SIEG DIDN’T EVEN ASK JONAS WHETHER HE HAD TOLD BEFORE HE SHOT HIM. LOL WHAT THE FUCK

Jonas was literally one leak. I know it was to showcase Sieg is hardcore ruthless. But like, that was wholly unnecessary? He could just as well simply turned him into a confidante and brought him into inner circles. it’s not like the discussion table is at all filled. oh! well!

that was pretty sad. would have been sadder if we saw another shot of his family or something

I really like the ending song.
