Yeah a teaser dropping on ST day would be cool. But can we agree that a DNA board reveal would be infinitely better?

911 is so funny bc sometimes we'll predict things with absolute laser-like precision, right? we'll pick up moments of foreshadowing like they're breadcrumbs and meticulously identify every single beat of the rest of the story that's yet to play out, to the point that sometimes we even get the dialogue right. and then other times, we do the exact same thing but for no apparent reason the show decides to go in the complete Opposite direction to where we think. and there's no pattern to this!!!! one minute we're writing spec fic that turns into actual episode plots a week later and posting the dodgeball apollo meme, the next the show is bypassing every possible scene we've predicted like we're in a game of minesweeper

Extremely underrated scene in MDZS is when Nie Huaisang is like "Nono, you see, there's an extremely sensible reason why my family needs to have this tomb filled with cursed weapons and semi-zombified bodies in the walls!!" and then every single layer of the "explanation" is just progressively more insane.

Luka is very good at keeping himself composed on stage, mostly with the help of maintaining track of his heart rate, but during Mizi's attack in ROMH he seemed to slip up, not only was the red background a tell-tale sign of Mizi's violent intentions but it was a more symbolic way of showing Luka in quite visceral fear. Even if for only a second.

I'm not convinced Luka will be as continuously calculated as he normally comes off, it all seems too fake to me. Because it is. It’s a similar case to Ivan who can't feel, isn't normal, isn't human enough so he makes a persona to blend in. So Luka, whoever he is, makes this version of himself to cope with what he has to live through, pretending like he's on top of it all to survive in this world.

So in round 7, I think something drastic will happen to make him 'snap' in a way.

It's safe to say that we don't know Luka. We don't know who he really is. We don't know his real desires. But we do know one thing--he is scared. he is afraid of the aliens. That's why he appeases them--being their trophy. He's only kept around for his purpose as an entertainer and nothing else and he's very aware of that. He knows very well that a dented trophy will be discarded; with that mindset, he's been able to get so far, and he's scared of losing. That's why he holds any little thing he can get his hands on close. And an important extension of that fear is his fear of losing power.

Till should be the more likely in this position, given he's such a rebel. But isn't that just too predictable? Keep in mind, that Till is a strong person. Even after all he's been through, even after he's been beaten into something more manageable for the aliens--He still hasn't lost his spark. Till is a raging storm. subdued but nonetheless a force to be reckoned with.

Round 6's effect on Till is greatly ambiguous for now but at this point when the time for round 7 comes, Till has been put through so much hell. Whatever Luka does to provoke him probably won't work, he and Luka are equally talented individuals and will make for an intense battle, and at the end of the day, the numbers won't lie. Exactly that is what Luka is ready for but scared of--a worthy opponent for the throne. Someone capable of stripping him of his power. (Is fear what makes Luka so dismissive?)

It would be so aggravating that this 'pest'. who is so indignant, so rebellious (in a way Luka envies.), could so easily destroy everything Luka has worked for, disregard every pain Luka has been through to get to this point, and Till doesn't value this throne as much as Luka does, and Luka doesn't want to feel the pain of death anymore. If his facade is as destructible as I think it is, that will be what ultimately brings out Luka.

This idea may be flawed. Luka is so perfect, too perfect and confident and experienced for something as little as that to break him, just think of all the training Luka went through to get to this point. I'm positive he's very aware of what playing unfairly will lead to. But isn't there always room for a wild card?

Just remember what happened to Hyun-woo.

What happened here isn't fully explained (and probably will be in round 7) but imagine Luka: "Trophy child, goody two shoes" Luka possibly killing another human. Whether by accident or not, what happened?--what and how did Luka feel in the moment for the repercussions of whatever happened to be that bad?

A Luka that is secretly greatly insecure, pliable, and defensive enough that in a spur of emotions, he can’t help but lose his cool in a way he hasn’t in a while because he’s afraid—just to try and prove he is still valuable. That is the type of character I theorize we'll come to see in round 7.

If you were to comment on what is attractive about OTPs, how would you describe those ships?

yes, this ask is just an excuse for those who received it to ramble about their OTPs

Saw this in my ask box and sat up so fast despite being late as hell

Ok oh man, first, I think the way I ship is not usual? Maybe even contradicting the meaning of shipping. It totally might be influenced by my own aroace experience BEIDJSJ but shipping for me… I don’t necessarily look for a romantic ending for characters. Yes, it’s amazing and I roll around in bed when I see fan content and I absolutely indulge myself with it myself, but in the end, I often times find myself thinking I don’t actually care to see these characters in a romantic light. Though, pardon my vulgarity, some of them do need a good fuck. I have a tendency to ship based off dynamic potentials(?), leading me often to rarepairs haha. Something about being crazy and creating boards of red string and ‘hear me out’s is elating. There absolutely are popular pairings that still makes me feel that same RAGHH. The ‘what if’s are just so fascinating to think through.

For a personal trend in my otps… something about pairings where they stand as equals and there is a deep sense of mutual understanding and acceptance that makes me want to backflip off a cliff HEIHSKWEJI sometimes a divorced era is a very welcomed side dish. Love and hate are two sides of the same coin as people say and I go absolutely feral. For characters to stand as opposites, in design, in story, etc., but is still equal to each other🍽️ GUHH FOILS. —CODEPENDENCY!!!!!! HEGRGHRHR— nurse they let the ant out again. Those pairings that give off the energy that they should just consume each other atp. ATP.

WHY are BT shippers so vehemently against actually analyzing the symbolism and choices made for this show?

i mean i saw multiple people saying we were overthinking the vertigo poster. they were saying that it was weird to assume that Buck would fill the pining best friend role that Midge did in the original movie??? (haven’t seen the movie, i just read a few synopses)

i’m sorry, so you agree that he put Ryan Guzman in the main character and Devin Kelley as the love interest because they’ll fill those roles in the storyline, but we’re overthinking when we point out what role he put Oliver Stark in?

or when i bring up the possible symbolism of Tommy always calling him Evan, the only response i get from BT stans is “well he would tell him if he didn’t like it” or “i think it’s because he was introduced that way and that’s why” or even “i think he probably likes that Tommy calls him Evan” (all real responses i saw) and it’s like, yeah that’s cool, those are great headcanons for you, but that actually isn’t what i was talking about. nothing wrong with having a headcanon, but it doesn’t explain anything about the show or answer any of my questions.

i mean in s4 he corrected his PARENTS and told them his name was Buck, and in s6 it was used to emphasize the strangeness of his coma dream, how everyone was calling him Evan, the whole show him being called Evan has almost always been used to emphasize that someone doesn’t know him very well, how are y’all convinced that it’ll mean something different this time? i get that some people think it’s supposed to be growth, that he’s cool with being called his first name, but if that’s the goal it definitely isn’t reading that way to me.

like i wish i could see things through the same lens as these people so it could make sense to me, i just don’t get how you can willfully ignore SO many hints just so you can ship what you want.

no hate to the ship or the shippers obviously, i’m just baffled by the lengths they’ll go to in order to convince themselves that plot device man is endgame for Buck.

I love you detectives wrestling with cosmic horror I love you government agencies in a futile pursuit to contain the supernatural I love you academia and bureaucracy strugging to quantify and codify the otherworldly I love you systems and habits desperately trying to hold the line against the chaotic the unclassifiable and the unfathomable.

One of my favorite things to see in sw media is non-Force sensitives grabbing a lightsaber and just going to town. I don’t want them to be revealed to secretly have been a Force user or secretly a Jedi or ANYTHING, I don’t care or even WANT for them to be an experienced fighter at all, I want some average shmuck to grab a lightsaber whether they know whoever dropped it or not and just start whaling on people or torch-cutting a door open or welding one shut or stuffing their homie inside a dead tauntaun. Experienced sword masters are impressive but sometimes it’s just more interesting and better for the story seeing how a novice approaches the situation
