I think my most favorite thing about the riddle of ages was that it was unabashedly More focused on the interpersonal relationships formed by the society, especially within the four of them. tesla hates time skips which is not my feeling but fair I guess and I was reminded of this several times while I was reading. not only because I want them to read this series and I think they'll love it but because the time skip was SOOOO conscious. it was like it occurred for the sole reason of them backtracking and saying I'm sorry. I am sorry we skipped fiveish years. I love you. they love each other. look at what has happened. it is not okay. it's okay.

change is an overarching theme of this book and like. it's not as if that hasn't been done before. that's what strikes me so much about it is that among dozens, hundreds of final installments that address change and how it feels, this book still feels uniquely emotionally intelligent about it. I haven't quantified it yet but the approach feels fundamentally different. this is enhanced by the way the main plot is, so much more so than the original trilogy, a vehicle for these themes about love and family and strength and change and growing up. the consequences, you find out at the end, were not nearly as dire as you were lead to believe, and the entire plot was in fact the result of a play by reynie kate and sticky that directly feeds into and really ties up some of those emotional themes.

there is no way I could've expected a series that is so stalwartly About being a child to tackle growing up so so so effectively. the time skip was integral to it in a way I haven't quantified, like I said. but otherwise stewart kept the exact tone and style he'd used for the original trilogy and applied it to a wholly more emotional central idea, just leaning it gently in that new direction, and it worked so phenomenally that it passed right through my mind without me even crying about the end of it. I was worried when I finished the riddle of ages and didn't feel like I'd been hit by a truck, because in my mind that's how I'm supposed to feel when something rooted deep in my childhood like this ends for good, but really I think it is just that the story worked on me that completely, which is honestly insane to me. I'll have more thoughts later as I continue working through my ideas but this is the main one I've got to put out there right now

when kate decides she can handle it and constance can't. when kate tries to put on her brave face as though she is not going toward 3 people who mean her harm. AND THIS IS WHAT MILLIGAN JUST DID. HE ALSO JUST SACRIFICED HIMSELF! AND KATE NEVER KNEW HIM BUT STILL THEY SHARE THIS TRAIT.

definitely not based off an exchange i had with my sister who was an athlete and is now in the medical field, regularly hearing me say my birds eat better than i do.

Anyone who’s ever thought of Repurposed Beck stuff, I want you all to take Cyrus into account. Because let’s say he lives long enough to see a repurposed Beck. He knows practically everything about Beck. He’s the only one. And what does he do with that info when he sees a repurposed Beck, who doesn’t know who he is anymore? Does he keep it to himself, try to befriend Beck to show him just how similar they are, now that Beck is programmed to kill? Does he string him along with the knowledge he has on him? Does he do a rare kind thing and try to help him get his memories back because “if I’m gonna kill him, he better know it’s me”?

I once made a post analyzing some Uprising script pages that Bill Wolkoff dropped. I kind of want to update that now with some info from the Uprising pitch bible. But can I just say how delighted I am that my post got this detail right? Like?

mavis on discord suggested the idea that Blinky’s series recap at the beginning of rott implies that the whole movie is just Blinky’s wild crackfic and I’m now obsessed with this theory

i’m sorry i won’t stop talking about trollhunters a show that no people have watched because absolutely nobody did it like guillermo del toro did it.

the in depth and completely unique fantasy lore that blends so well into an urban setting and tells the best story i’ve ever seen about the curse of destiny being disguised as a blessing. the young hero that is so beat down by fear and violence over the course of the story that he isolates himself and rejects his friends because he sees no way forward without them getting hurt (and they do get hurt. three of his closest friends die and so does he). the dedication to the idea that yes you are suffering, but if you (a child) hadn’t have been chosen as the world’s protector and hadn’t chosen yourself to be the sacrifice the world and everyone you love would have burned and that being given a choice that is not a choice is the blessing (curse) of heroism.

three seasons that consistently raise the bar in terms of emotional depth and arcs that build on one another and feature some of the scariest villains i’ve ever seen. backed with an amazing score by alexandre desplat and unique and inspired character designs and some bits that legitimately get me to laugh out loud.

like without taking into account additional content and the spin offs that completely turn their back on each and every one of these themes and somehow re-disguise the curse as a blessing (in just 5 minutes of screen time, believe it or not) i’m just baffled at how good the show is on its own and at the fact that like 5 people have watched it and you could not pay me to shut up about so idk yeah watch it
