Am I going to re-read @tenpointstohufflepuff 's 'Australia' for a third time? Yes.

Do I have a ton of other fics that I haven't even started & should probably read? Yup.

Do I care?? Not in the slightest.

Glad you're complete Brienne x Jaime trash too. Hoping I have some good FS content coming my way in the coming weeks to heal what I know will be my broken heart. I am trying to prepare the worst possible scenarios in my head that D&D could do...each just makes me more livid than the next. =

SAME THOUGH like thank god AoS is coming back to distract me from this angst. I swear to god D&D are literally smoking crack like what even is the plot of this season. The only thing giving me hope right now is the fact that Nik said he was happy with Jaime’s ending but I’m still trying to take that with a grain of salt. 

It’s not that I don’t believe him but I remember when the AoS cast said the ending of season 5 was satisfying and look what happened. I just don’t trust like that lmao. In my mind the best case scenario right now is Jaime dying in Brienne’s arms and professing his love to her. I would love for them to live happily ever after in Tarth and have a bunch of blonde babies but I know the chances of that are slim. I’m really trying not to speculate too much because I don’t want to drive myself insane. The only thing I’m pretty confident about is that he’s going back to stop Cersei, not save her.

Loved how you got our your Kastle feelings and agree with your depiction. Karen put everything on the line and he just kept shaking his head and rejecting her. It wouldn't be the Karen Page we all know and love if that didn't cause her pain and make her angry. I hate the way they both look in that final scene when she puts on her jacket to leave. So much anger and frustration. I look forward to seeing if you find a happier resolution, but think this is likely the more realistic one.

Hey! Thanks for sending me a message to let me know I’m not crazy, lol. I so want to be as excited as everyone else, but that scene felt like an ending to me, maybe because what I saw was in direct contrast to what it had been built up to be. At minimum we saw Frank being a stubborn asshole and deliberately pushing her away despite the most clear declaration of love anyone could possibly give, and if S3 comes into play he will need to come back from that.

The more I think about it, the more it seems in line with what we’ve seen of his  canon character (I mean, didn’t he do the exact same thing in DD S2? While she yelled at him to not cross the line and then he deliberately chose how bout i do it anyway?) I guess, because of the nuanced fics of fanon, because of the words of encouragement from the actors themselves about how they think the characters feel, I just wanted more. I wanted the emotions we all saw behind their eyes. I wanted Frank to do more than the tired trope of pushing someone away, it felt one note and boring and honestly disrespectful to Karen (up until that possibility of change when the scene ended). Amy didn’t interrupt a kiss to me, she interrupted the possibility of him getting over his damn self and admitting something, anything, ANYTHING. And you’re right, Karen is angry and frustrated, and it was one of the most real things about the scene, because to hear that tired bullshit from Frank’s mouth drove ME crazy too. I’m glad it pissed her off, I’m glad it frustrated her, and I’m glad because you could interpret it as seeing right through him but it doesn’t take away what he did.

Look, I don’t think Frank is ready, and honestly I don’t think Karen is either despite that confession. Their relationship still lives in the spaces between gunshots and it needs to transition. And I didn’t mind Beth at the beginning either, but i do mind her being used as a reason for Frank to push Karen away. It just felt really freaking black and white and point A to point B and SEE HERES A REASON FOR MANPAIN where Kastle should continue to exist in the grey spaces that they occupy so beautifully.

p.s. sorry to put negativity in the tag but i needed to at least mark this as spoilers

Yeah, no complaints here. I'll take positive "I can do anything" Fitz anyday. But that legit sounded like the start to a Broadway #

it totally did XD

tenpointstohufflepuff replied to your chat “me thinking about the finale: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”

yeah, i feel oddly at peace knowing they can't possibly resolve everything.

thank goodness i’m not the only one.

  I used to think having FitzSimmons in the same...

Glad to know I didn’t miss anything not tuning in..

They have some great individual moments? And I’ve felt that there have been episodes in the past where the team dynamics were so fantastic that it was okay. But they’re all split up pursuing different goals, and that’s not what I signed up for. You know?

[i-have-zero-chill]

That's my realistic best case scenario too. I think it fits what NCW would see as fulfilling too. I would like to see Jaime live long enough to see someone write his name in the book of all his great deeds (like, you know, saving millions of lives not once, twice, but three times), but I know that likely won't happen. He can't have a happy ending. I know this show. I just want more than Brienne to acknowledge he's a good man. If Theon can get a proper redemption, why not Jaime. Ugh. This show

Yeah I think Nik would be satisfied with Jaime dying as long as he doesn’t go back to Cersei. In interviews he’s always seemed frustrated with Jaime’s inability to break free from her. I would love for the other characters that still see him as just the kingslayer to realize that he really is a man of honor like Brienne said.

Definitely feel the same about AoS lately. The show has just been treading water with no development or growth of the characters. They introduced SO many things that could have been such fun to explore, but haven't done anything with it. Fit'z break was never really addressed (still not over Piper asking if he was "evil again") and Deke has turned into nothing but comic relief. I hate being down on the show considering this may be the end, but...I'm kind of meh about it lately.

ran out of room in my rant. I'm just so over the inconsistencies of the writing! Mack says Fitz was still a good man in the FW & defends his actions but now he needs "fixing"? Deke wants to hang with family now he doesn't. FS won't make the tough call now they defend the tough call. I'm trying to follow the character arcs but there is no arc. There's no continuity and I doubt there will a satisfying resolution. This feels like the FW arc dragging on & on and we know how that ended.

yeah i knew it wasn’t just me. it sucks cause this season had so much potential and there were so many cool things they could’ve done but they just didn’t deliver at all. 

there could’ve been a whole arc about Fitz’s break but they just used it as a plot device. Jemma had the whole enslavement thing in 5a but other than that she’s just sorta been there. Daisy has barely had any arc this season at all besides the whole destroyer of worlds thing which they never really went into that much. don’t even get me started on Deke because i don’t even know what the fuck is going on with that. Mack’s arc has been nonexistent. Elena kinda has one with the whole invincible thing and her arms but it’s been meh. also i think the writers don’t know what they’re doing with philinda. like i don’t even ship them that much but they need to do something instead of dragging it out.

and yeah totally agree about how inconsistent all the characters have been! they switch positions every episode and it’s ridiculous and sloppy writing. 

sorry this got long but it’s so disappointing. i love all these characters and the writers just aren’t doing anything with them. it almost feels like nothing has actually happened the last 5 or 6 episodes. i’m just hoping this isn’t the last season because i don’t want to end on this negative note.
