#so many callbacks

The Thunder saga did not miss once I’m so fucking unwell

June and Hannah

I’ve been watching the first season again, and the very first episode is already heartbreaking. What made me fall in love with the show from the beginning was June’s fierce motherhood—she would go to the ends of the earth for her child. As for this season… well, we can talk about how the show ends later. For now, I’ll just say I’m a bit disappointed—let’s skip that part.

Does she remember me?

I believe season 6, episode 10 will be the final, devastating chapter between June and Hannah—a moment carved in sorrow.

Somehow June and Hannah will have a final moment. I think Serena or even Aunt Lydia would arrange this meeting.

But… Hannah, lost to memory, no longer knows the face of the mother who has crossed fire and blood to find her.

And in that unbearable silence of recognition gone, June is faced with the most heartbreaking choice of all: to let her daughter go.

Not out of surrender, but out of love—a love so fierce it transcends reunion.

She releases Hannah not because she has given up, but because she believes in a future where no child is stolen, silenced, or scarred.

Though her arms are empty, her heart remains fierce, carrying the fire of hope—for Hannah, and for every child who deserves to live free. June keeps fighting in the shadows of the underground, defiant and unbroken.

And one day, she will hold her daughters again.

Please, God, Let her remember me!

My reaction watching every episode so far of season 10 of Ninjago:

[welkinalauda]

Stuff I liked:

THAT BAR

first shot is “Rocky’s Bar” and next shot is Bullwinkle, stuffed and mounted on the wall

all the little details of the bar

references to both our Boris and our Natasha

PAM!

Dean being all competent in the face of monsters invading his bar

Holy oil molotov

Michael’s nihilism, and his explanation 

because yes, that’s exactly what Chuck is doing/is like. He cares about the narrative as he writes it and stops caring the minute he turns away

though I’m not sure this Michael could identify caring if it took him to the river and taught him how to fish

Oh, huh. Chuck cares about worldbuilding and narrative. He doesn’t care about the characters. The characters desperately want to believe he cares about them, but to him they’re paper cutouts made to serve his story. Totally fungible/alterable/disposable, never really real. This explains a lot.

Violet the snarky reaper

Poughkeepsie

Dean’s been the key, the lock, now the cage

Stuff I didn’t like so much:

Michael’s plan still doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but at least he’s got existential despair as an excuse

the refugees turned hunters make no sense at all

none

why are they still here? why aren’t they putting all their efforts into going home? why is a little mouse of girl who joined their company a day before the exodus giving all the orders? why is a hardened band of freedom fighters obeying that little mouse of a girl without question?

I mean, see above on Chuck’s relationship to his characters, but characters badly enough written hurt the story, so maybe a little more effort would be in order here.

What I hope to see next week:

Dean remembers that he has construction experience and knows how to run a concrete mixer

A Brief Construction Montage of Dean encasing his walk-in in concrete and a whole lot of rebar

The lady who was trying to buy the bar reappears in a completely different context

and now I have some WiP I need to finish before the characters turn sour and escape to destroy the next story over.

I am one scary, scary, sexy man.

The continuity in this show is so good.

Jarl’s conversation with Rebecca in the middle of the episode reminded me so much of “Villain in My Own Story”.
