Clark watched Bruce warily as he experimented with the string between them. Bruce had long ignored the red string of fate that connected them, but he could no longer avoid it after Clark had used it to stop him from storming out of a heated argument. Although only Bruce could see the string, Clark always felt its undeniable presence.

Recently, Bruce had begun to find practical uses for their bond. He usually used it as a communicator, tugging at the string whenever he needed Superman’s assistance.

Despite their growing reliance on this bond, neither really talked about the emotional weight of their connection. Bruce never initiated the conversation, and Clark hesitated to push the subject, especially when Bruce had only recently acknowledged the string's existence.

Clark had always assumed that Bruce saw their bond as more of an inconvenience until one day, Clark suddenly found himself able to see their string.

To his shock, it wasn’t the red he had expected—it was black. Traditionally, red strings of fate would turn black when a relationship was filled with rage and contempt. Bruce had been distancing himself because he thought Clark harbored resentment toward him.

But as Clark examined the string more closely, he realized something Bruce hadn’t seen. Their string wasn’t truly black—it was the deepest shade of red, signifying a mutual love that had matured and strengthened over time. Its color was so saturated that it appeared black to the naked eye.

What Bruce mistook for hatred was, in fact, a love so strong that its depth had been misinterpreted.

As performers, I feel like both Seam and Jevil surely had musical talents to go along and support their magic during their shows, which is making me crazy to think about because it's fitting with the lightners they watched grow up (Kris playing the piano, Toriel and choir, Dess most likely visiting/playing with Seam as a young girl even, and bringing her instruments with her...)

So now I'm just thinking of a Seam who used to have the loveliest singing voice they showed with pride, and now that they're worn out and old, it's not as melodic.. But it's still comforting and calming to hear. Like a broken childhood music box that still works, but it's missing a few pieces

Am I way overthinking or am I onto something? A collection of observations:

In divine dark reflections, Twilight uses the dominion rod on a small owl-like statue.

(x)

and then Legend, cursed in rabbit form, uses the master sword to return to his normal shape.

(x)

Twilight then later chases the Shadow through the ruins of a dungeon.

(x)

(note: you can see the puzzle that they will later solve! jojo's attention to detail is amazing)

Later, (after Twilight almost dies) they walk through a portal and are met with the very same dungeon, but in the past, where everything is much more intact.

(x)

This is all incredibly similar to the Temple of Time in Twilight Princess, in which Link, cursed into his wolf form, uses the master sword to return to his hylian form, gaining the shadow crystal.

He then walks through a gate of time, to the exact same place but instead of ruins, it is an intact dungeon, where he finds the dominion rod

Time also specifically notes that there is an owl motif.

(x)

included in these is Kaepora Gaebora, from Ocarina of Time, also known as Rauru, the sage of light, who resides in the sacred realm inside of the temple of time

Around this time, shortly after the divine dark reflections arc is also when Wind discovers his connection with Time, and one timeline split is revealed.

Quick things I made with the comic creator (203/?)

an ode to middle managers

This show truly knows how to juggle the duality of victim and perpetrator with the kind of finesse I haven't seen in a while. Woe's Hollow had me screaming at Milchick when he was (essentially) killing Irving... but then the very next episode they're doing performance reviews, talking about the "kindness reforms" he's instituted and its like. Well, shit. All those tactics have been underhanded and manipulative as fuck but it was also more than Cobel ever tried to do (no, Harmony, psychologically tormenting Mark S. with repressed memories of his "dead" wife does not count as employee recreation). Crazy that he's stuck in this middle managerial position and its clear that- as awful as he is- he is the one higher up we've seen that views the innies as something approximating Human. Especially contrasted with Ms Huang, Helena, and Drummond's comments that same episode. (And it goes without saying that Tramell Tillman's performance has been fantastic.)

Even with people far higher up, like Helena, we see exploitation! I was fr feeling murderous over her violation of both Mark and Helly's autonomy, of depriving me of my girl for four episodes and driving a wedge between the team- but the way Drummond and Natalie were so quick to cast her aside, "shut up, be a good girl, and put the noose around your neck" like damn they really don't care about anyone!! Not even Jeff Bezos herself!!!

Not to mention how Sydney Cole Alexander's performance as Natalie adds so much nuance to her character- even without telling us anything outright. The fear, shame, repression, complacency flitting across her face- truly a Get Out/ Being John Malkovich moment. She speaks for the board but her voice is never her own. She only has power when she's being exploited.

And now, with the most recent Cobel loredrop, I am hoping and praying and hoping and praying that we'll get to see at least one of these Lumon insiders have their "lets burn this place to the ground" moment. I think Cobel is closest to that now, and I see Milchick possibly following along. At the very least I hope we get some Reghabi backstory, because we know she used to work at Lumon (putting the chip in Mark's head herself!) and maybe she was always a spy but maybe she too was able to break from the system. Please Mr. Stiller, more Reghabi.

The contradiction at the core of capitalism is that it relies on everyone's complacency- yet values no one. Cobel, Milchick, Natalie, Helena: they can give and sacrifice all they want, but it will never change the fact that they are all replaceable. They are both victim and the perpetrator, and to go against the system would be to face their own complicity, rejecting whatever sunken-cost fallacy they've built up in their head. It's hard- but it's not impossible.

Here's to hoping.
