Summary: The murder of a homeless man which is very similar in detail to a murder committed in 1947 leads Mulder and Scully to the legendary man-beast the Jersey Devil roaming in the forests surrounding Atlantic City.

Physical contact was established so quickly. Haha. She truly feels bad for him, and this is a gesture of compassion, but it does not hurt that she gets a chance to touch him! Softly. On his face. Oh Elisa!

But I do think this gesture is moving to him. She gives him a moment to look away from her, to not see what is inconvenient to him. Like he did when he saw Demona's hatred.

Elisa doesn't realize how much she's asking of him. He knows that she's asking him to trust what she's telling him while not understanding that to do is to distrust one of his kind, someone of his own kind who he loves deeply and thought he had lost... is realizing he already had lost.

Unlike Demona though, who accepts Goliath's averted gaze, Elisa reaches out to ask for him to see her. She doesn't ask just with words but with touch, with her very being. Elisa's hands have no strength in comparison to him; he did not have to let her turn his face. Her touch was a question, a request, and he says yes and accepts. He says okay, I will see you and what you have to say.

Another contrast. It's not just that Elisa didn't just let him get away with refusing to see what is in front of him, it's his willingness to look at what she is saying to him because it does in fact align with who he is in a way Demona had not. He can accept Elisa in a way he could not accept Demona. And though yes, my shipper heart sees it as a path to their future romance, but I don't truly believe that's at all where his mind is. I don't think he really, on any conscious level anyway, sees Elisa in that light.

She is a reflection for everything he tries to be and was failing to be. Of course he would look at her where he couldn't look at Demona. When Demona declared her war on humanity, he stopped viewing her entirely to this point. He could have done the same when Elisa asked him to see the guilt on Xanatos's, Demona's, and even his own hands. How much easier may that have been?

But he looks. He accepts.

Kinda salty that Lancelot was the first "commoner" (outside of Merlin) that Arthur bonded with and respected as a fellow knight, and then Lancelot is the first to die once Arthur gets his knights of the round table :(

Arthur deserved more time with him. Gwen deserved more time with him. MERLIN DESERVED MORE TIME WITH HIM (i have a separate post about this).

Everyone needed more time with Lancelot.

DID HE JUST CLAIM HER ?!?

JONAS: Honestly past a certain point the past is kind of a fever dream for the most part.

Same, Jonas. Same 💤😴💤🤒

People, I'm watching Spy x Family and well, the things you do for the mission. *laughs maniatically *

How far i've went. Once you start you never end. First One Piece. Now Spy x Family. What's next?

[theshirbertstory]

But I'm not ready to be a woman! Well, it's God's plan, and that's the way of it. Oh, there's been some kind of mistake. There is no way God would think that it's time for me to be a WOMAN!

The whole squad is surprised?

ok so @peanut-with-wifi-access requested i liveblog lmk (coming from a ninjago fan) so here are my thoughts so far! im currently on s1 ep5 so heres a recap of my thoughts

starting off with ep 3 coming home! now if i had a nickel for every green coloured lego character biologically related to dragons... anyway i loved this episode, love mei! cant wait to see more of her and her heritage because that is reeeallly interesting

ok ep 4 noodles or death! so this is the bitch who robbed us of spider legged harumi!!! jokes but judging off the ending and the title of the second lmk special i know she'll be making a return and im really excited! she seems like a fun villain

ep 5 calabash! can i first start off by saying THANK YOU for not pushing mei and mk to be together i really appreciate how not every girl and guy need to be automatically shipped! also love how MK puked at the thought of it for a second i thought this was going in another direction and i wanted to cry (ninjago fans ifykyk) i really do see them as the siblings ever i love their dynamic sm

also these twins are so fun hope they make a reappearance! also what does the calabash do exactly? just trap people like is there a benefit???

anyway i was told it would get a lot darker so um definitely kinda scared! but so far im enjoying the silly adventures also cant wait to meet the macaque guy seems like a fan favourite

I love Goliath's line here. I love how it's delivered.

And that's the thing. Goliath sees no sense, no use, no possibility of waging war on an entire world.

Demona has spent 1,000 years doing just that though. It's a fight she can never, ever win. She thinks she wants to, but I believe the reality is that as long as she is stuck in an endless battle, she never has to look in at herself. She never has to look at the hate she has fostered that blossomed in the first place because she betrayed her own people. She is the enemy and since she cannot live with that, she wages an impossible war that can never be won and therefore can never stop giving her others besides herself to blame.

Arthur and Gwen have something special, sure. But Lancelot treated Gwen like the gorgeous lady she was/is right from the start!!
