My name is Willow and my current favorite thing is things that are considered romantic done in a platonic fashion.

In a wildly different timeline: if Durant had been killed before Virgil woke up, would that have broken the curse?

i think if he’d been killed before Greta made the deal and got the spidersilk cloak caveat yeah, Virgil would have woken up - because at that point Durant had no even theoretical “Virgil waking up” parameters, so his death would have just released any of the magic left

but AFTER that, well now theres Rules, theres parameters that have to be filled - and that convention would override Durant being dead

Which has given me a HILARIOUS laoft au concept - Tobias Fischer, who has spent the past decade watching his wife get increasingly frantic trying to wake up her brother, beats her to the punch and sneaks away in the middle of the night

and literally just shoots Durant with a bolt action, circumventing the entire next nearly-a-century of chaos by just not holding to the “magical solutions to magical problems” convention by virtue of being Just A Totally Normal Coal Miner

(Virgil: you did WHAT?

Tobias: He needed killin’

Virgil: I mean, you’re objectively correct, but what the FUCK Toby)

seriously though, if y’all are even remotely interested in LAMP, or fae mythology...go read Love and Other Fairytales by @tulipscomeinallsortsofcolors it’s an absolutely fantastic series that i’d consider a goddamn must-read, no joke

When Logan took the "snowmelt" insult and turned it into a threat against those who used it against him

V: i mean they 100% walked into that, to be fair

[tulipscomeinallsortsofcolors]

The idea of a tiny baby Patton accidentally befriending a hostile Fae-raised!Logan is downright adorable and so incredibly Patton-like. - 🦦

Tiny Patton: *hugs*

Fae-Raised Logan: What is this?

Pat: Snuggling!

Lo: Disgusting

Lo:...

Lo: Do it again.

Buzzfeed bois: we’ve heard tales of the dreaded Spider Prince, an unseelie fae who rules over the forest of Wilkins and holds domain over shadows and fear. Tonight we are going to attempt to talk with him via ghost box Shane: this would be fun Virgil: why, why are you like this Roman logan and Patton dying of laughter in the background: Roman: we have to prank them, I mean come on Logan: they are quiet literally asking for it Virgil: uhhhhhhhhgggggg Patton: don’t scare them too bad dear

oh my goooood and like. If they know its fae (and not assuming its ghosts/a cult) Ryan probably has to give like a crash course in fair folk at the beginning of the episode any way

can you i m a g i n e Shanes face during this??? can you COMPREHEND the amount of eye rolling? i would die

Can Virgil communicate with the Unsolved Boys through the spirit box if he's in the shadows?

oh definitely and not just cuz i think its funny - Virgil’s sort of ThingTM (in the same way Whites is clouds and Logan’s is - mostly - flowers) is thundersnow. its why the air smells like ozone when he gets angry

so something like the spirit box would be all kinda fun shenanigans for Virgil if he didnt just short it out and make it explode

Pulling an all-nighter and, rather than doing homework, contemplating if Leith would even have stuck to a Logan actually raised by Eirwyn or if it would’ve slid off at the first possible opportunity. And then made myself sad thinking that Snowmelt would probably stick to him better than Leith and how much he would hate that

its true but how DARE you say it
