I was mulling over my total inability to guess where the Foglios are ever going with anything, so:

Yes includes things like lost in time, died but was revived, zombie-type revenant, trapped in stasis, trapped in dingbot, or any 'dead in every way that matters' situations.

No includes being dead.

(If his consciousness is in a Lucrezia esque summoning engine: not implanted in a body=dead, in a body=alive)

No 'it's complicated' option because while I know death is a very surmountable problem in the GG universe, to me, "are you alive right this second" is a very yes/no question.

hi im thinking again how ludinus "bears a deep hatred for the Kryn Dynasty and spares no effort gathering information on their weaknesses and secrets" according to the explorer's guide to wildemount. do you think it's because of the beacons or something more. is it because the luxon themselves is too divine for his tastes. is it something more personal than that. matt mercer im in ur walls.

I don’t tend to make character playlists because I am way too picky with the songs that go on them, but if I was ever going to make girl genius playlists, Tongues and Teeth by The Crane Wives is the most Lucrezia Mongfish song in existence.

potentially unpopular opinion but to me the tma episode where jon goes into the coffin to rescue daisy is the best in terms of character study and character relationship development. like not a single other moment in the show flayed me raw and left me undone like jon and daisy's conversation trapped forever deep below creation with seemingly no way out; two characters who feared and hated each other and themselves finally being able to be honest about that with each other, and realizing that despite every awful thing that has happened between them it's still a relief that neither one of them is suffocating beneath the weight of it all alone in the dark anymore. and then, knowing all that, still choosing to return to face the world again together even though it would be easier to stay where they are.

Some of the Suvi critics out there are... something. I mean, I get it if you don't enjoy media because of unpleasantness. I very definitely avoided Succession because it squicked me deeply.

So if Suvi squicks ya out. Like sure fine. But some of the interpretations of Suvi being irredeemable or 'not showing signs' that she might be 'redeemable' are just weird? To me?

I mean. I also was raised in one of the cristofascist American evangelical death cults and had to deprogram and unlearn a lot in my 20s and have done a lot of work to be in a healthy space now so... maybe I just have sympathy for being 20 and just suddenly seeing cracks appear in the way you understand yourself and the world around you?

One thing people seem real perturbed by is Suvi's behavior towards Ame (and Ame's seeming lack of correction of that behavior).

And I think there are a few things at play here.

1. Suvi was raised in a highly ordered hierarchy as a soldier from early childhood.

2. Ame is a witch of the heart and has been handling all manner of village nonsense and nonsense people for years.

3. Suvi has not had ANY sort of psychological safety or release since maybe the Cottage. She is more afraid of Steel than Orima.

4. Ame is worried about Suvi. Worried about the way she killed without trouble. The way she's not allowed herself to express feelings for the most part other than anger.

5. When you have a lot of feelings and no safe way to let them out. They still come out. Usually inappropriately. Often paradoxically they get vented on people you feel safe with. Not to say that's acceptable or good but it is pretty normal?

6. Paradoxically, while Ame is safe to be mad at, perhaps subconsciously, Suvi also views Ame as a threat. And she's not wrong. Ame is a huge threat to her. Ame threatens to upend everything that Suvi believes about herself, about magic, about her world. She also plays by different rules and has actively exposed Suvi to risk by divulging things Suvi wanted to keep private. (Not with malice but definitely flagrantly flouting basic rules because she doesn't know they exist.) She also is a threat to the defenses Suvi has built around herself in the wake of her parents' deaths. The way that she has used the notion of the Citadel's correctness as a shield against the pain of loss.

7. I think Ame has dealt with wounded animals and wounded people fairly regularly in her role as apprentice. I think that Ame knows that wounded creatures snap at someone even if they are trying to help. Snapping back at her isn't maybe the move right now. And she has expressed dissent, she's not leaving her nonsense totally alone. She's just carefully cutting away little pieces of net and tutting at her raging and getting a little closer each time. And when Suvi finally lets herself cry instead of rage, Ame reacts with the same patient care she'd use with an injured animal.

8. Also, i do think people are missing Suvi's actions behind her words. Particularly vis a vis redeemable qualities. She does talk mad shit and she says some truly terrible things. But her actions are in conflict with her words. She abandoned her training and her responsibility to help Ame break her curse. He outfitted her friends from the armory and rented out a whole floor of an inn just to be kind. She's kept silent on Honored Friends the entire time she's been at the Citadel. Steel told her to stay and wait but she ran after Ame anyways. She was making a lot of threats but now that Eursulon has promised to free the Great Spirit her only issue with helping do it is that Steel might kill her first. She is ready to throw down for her friends with extreme prejudice.

She's at a crossroads. I find it very hopeful. But like again, I relate pretty heavily to being young and afraid and angry as the world opens up before you and everything you thought you knew is wrong and harming people. Knowing there's a chasm and on one side is your family and your community and on the other side is the unknown and your friends.

I will give supernatural props for one thing compared to better written monster of the week shows of a similar era, at least they let Sam keep his beautiful locks the entire way through. Do you know how how many shows give you a dorky nerdy man with super pretty hair only to shear it all off halfway through the series and give him the same damn haircut every other man on the show has? It’s a crime, a crime and a travesty.
