dream teens but make it oops all sorcerers

cat lee: divine soul sorcerer, aasimar child whose dad might not be an angel now but who definitely used to be, spectral wings sprouting from her back, focuses on healing because she can’t get hurt but her friends sure can!

al matsui: storm sorcerer, the first sinclair child in a long time who can tap into her own innate magic without fear, wielding lightning just like both of her parents do in their own ways, always knowing she is loved and she belongs.

langston brown: draconic bloodline sorcerer with a masters degree in social work end of sentence. but it absolutely fits him so well, leaning right into that higher-than-high charisma subclass because he is born and raised and of the city of new york and its people all the time.

the way that the very first scene of tuc2 took place in an abandoned subway station as kingston brown was awakened into the unsleeping city and now in the penultimate episode walking into the final battle they are once again in the subways is making me want to scREAM. it’s so similar to the first and last battle of tuc1 both being in a times square that is wrong and empty of everyone else—the parallels, the centrality of such a quintessentially new york place, the knowledge that they’re fighting something that is anti-people, anti-new york and that if they win they will return it to what it ought to be, the fact that a story about dynamism and life is bookended because history always rhymes—but at the same time it’s different. times square when it’s empty—with a huge cocoon in the middle or with a time stone fracturing its very pavement—is wrong in such a visceral way. i think the tuc2 finale didn’t necessarily have the same sense of wrongness, and in fact contains so much pure wonder at the majesty that is the dragon’s hoard. that combined with the way that the dream team were so prepared and the way that the danger didn’t come close to the very very high lethality of the tuc1 finale and the gloriousness of divine intervention makes the seasons very different but also very cool! tuc1 feels very much like a superhero, larger than life, dangerous season; tuc2′s finale matched the tone of its season as a whole in that it was fighting for people and wonder and magic and community with a realization that those things don’t have to be grand gestures on a huge scale with sacrifices and a fight against the american dream itself. sometimes the villain is defeated by direct action; sometimes the hero is a man who once upon a time dreamed of having a child.

thinking about fabian with a fear of heights after sophomore year. the fall from crow’s keep + watching riz almost fall from the cliffs at the tree of the nightmare king + falling through the earth away from chungledown in the forest into darkness + the way that being a battlemaster instead of a champion means he’s using his acrobatics less and his athletics more + the way that fabian used to fly through life vs. he dances now, which feels like flying sometimes but it is not the same
