I know many of us (including myself) want to think that Charles’ connection with Edwin is so strong that Charles chose to stay with Edwin just after knowing him for a short period of time.

But I just wanted to speculate that maybe, just maybe, it didn’t start off like that. There is definitely a connection between them like Charles was bullied to death, and to have a stranger boy so kind to him definitely made him felt a certain connection.

But maybe Charles wasn’t ready to go. And then come this boy who was dead 70 years ago and didn’t go to the Afterlife and instead went to hell, made him realise that maybe his time on the Living isn’t over yet, that maybe he can still do something, achieve something in this lifetime. So he went with Edwin. Then their connection manifested, then they stayed for each other, and for their purposes to right wrongs.

One day when I die, I would really wish to see Death’s face as kind as how Kirby portrayed her to be. Kind and so full of compassion, someone to guide me to the Afterlife.

And just the thought of it took so much fear of death away, and I just feel all calm and courageous to live my life fully, knowing I’d have a friend to walk me when I’m at my end.

I applied for a job I really wanted. It’s a dream job really, or at least I get to be really close to my dream, probably the closest I’ll ever get. I really hope I can get it. So I’m back here praying to this very magical shooting star gif, that I would get shortlisted for the interview, pass my interview, and get the job.

I don't want she fell first he fell harder I want them to both fall just as hard the entire point of a love story is to watch two people who are just crazy about each other

I think the drama will eventually progress towards that direction, we just gotta be patient 😭

From the preview for ep 5, it does look like the “she fell first he fell harder” is going to happen for a bit until we see them pining on each other.

[ocean-thoughts-feelings]

The “she fell first, but he fell harder” trope.

I can feel it

LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI'S SHOES (ACTUALLY, HIS WHOLE WARDROBE)

Production costs aside, clothes tell the audience about how characters think of themselves.

Loki's shoes in the S2 finale raised a lot eyebrows, but I find them quite fitting: they are comfortable, practical, and most importantly, they are humble. The camera brings this to our attention to communicate his evolution in character.

Loki has always dressed well, often times ostentatiously. Whether he is at war, passing as a Midgardian, or held captive as an Asgardian prisoner, Loki communicates his social class and sense of superiority through clothing. For him, clothing armors his fragile sense of self and against others' opinions of him. He intends to be perceived as deadly charming but ultimately unapproachable.

His attire in the first Thor movie is roughly equal parts green and gold, signifying his royal status. His style is dressed down for his brother's misadventures in Jotenheim, yet overall both silhouettes are lofty, princely, but not hardened or threatening.

In Avengers, Loki's look has more black and leather, with exaggerated emphasis on his shoulders meant to intimidate as he assumes the role of villain. The silhouette is very hard, heavy, and edgy. Gold detailing is prevalent as well. Combined with the goat's helm, this is Loki's most pretentious outfit, which speaks to an undercurrent of low self-esteem and a compulsive need to impress. There's no mistaking he is the main antagonist of the story.

In Thor 2, Loki's attire is similar to Avengers but the overcoat is exchanged for a less bulky version (perhaps conveying he is less guarded now that the effects of the Mind Stone are no longer influencing him). Loki's role likewise pivots from the harsh lines of a villain to the more flexible edges of a reluctant villain-turned-ally. This aligns with his character arc when he protects both Jane and Thor, seemingly sacrificing himself.

In Thor 3, Loki's silhouette is streamlined even further. The overcoat is done away with in favor of what appears to be a leather doublet, pauldrons, and vambraces. Gold accents are minimal. While stylish, Loki's attire is more practical than showy, and his helm serves the dual purpose of protection as well as weaponry. At this point in his arc, Loki has become a full antihero, joining his brother's side in rescuing as many Asgardians as possible, and eventually dying in a vain bid to protect Thor from Thanos.

The TVA does something very fun and interesting in taking away Loki's ability to dress himself. Since Loki cannot use his magic in the TVA, he is forced to wear the same clothing as his captor/advocate, who eventually becomes his best friend and peer.

Perhaps, on a subconscious level, this helped Loki to feel included. We know by his pwn admission that Loki fears being alone and desperately craves a sense of belonging. At the same time, he intentionally dresses to put people at a distance, thereby protecting himself from potential rejection at the cost of isolating himself further.

When Mobius gives him that TVA jacket for the first time, Loki seems uncharacteristically pleased. It is not an attractive jacket by any means, yet he neither scoffs at it nor refuses to wear it. Instead, Loki puts it on and is content when Mobius says it looks "smart" on him. He continues to dress like Mobius and, indeed, mimic some of his mannerisms such as placing his hands on his hips. Without clothing meant to push people away, Loki opens up, has more fun, and makes friends.

Loki's choice of attire as he assumes the mantle of God of Stories (and time) is fascinating. Setting aside the clear design inspiration from the comics, Loki's silhouette is soft, remarkably so. His colors are earthy hues of green, and the only bit of flare are the light gold trimming and crown. The look brings to mind the garb of sages and wise wizards rather than royalty or warriors. He's powerful yet approachable because there is humility in his bearing. And that humility springs from a well of healthy self-worth, self-love, and a deep love for others.

The shoes are not meant to be attractive. They are meant to help him ascend the throne, nothing more.

Someone I know is really sick, and we don’t know what is happening. The Dr’s visit is ongoing. The family is expecting the worst. I just wanted for her to be okay. I find myself back here again to make a wish that I truly hope will come true.

This kinda aged well after the video of the crows selecting their 7th crow 🤣

Just a thought:

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

I don’t think David is dead though. I don’t think they built him up like that just to kill him off screen. We saw the blood and all yes but no body, why is that? Even Matthias’ friend in hellgate had a proper death scene. I might be too optimistic in this, but a feeling tells me his story has not yet ended.

Nikolai Lantsov is so affectionate and genuine to everyone. He puts on a facade, narcissistic and also “pretentious” at some point, especially when he was Sturmhond. But when he is himself, and as the season goes, we see him showing affection and detailed feelings of concerns and worries for his friends. Maybe that isn’t the most charming traits of Nikolai (I haven’t get to know book!Nikolai yet) but I really liked the depth of his character in the show (as little as there are now, hopefully we get a season 3 and his story gets further explored), that all the indifference in the beginning were all acts.

Spoilers ahead!

• Offering a union with Alina but respected both Mal and Alina’s decision through his understanding of their relationship.

• Him giving the compass to Alina.

• Him attending to the dead ones slaughtered by Darkling at the Spinning Wheel.

• When Mal went missing and upon knowing that Mal was kidnapped, he showed that he was relieved when Mal returns.

• Him condemning Genya but immediately changed his perspective once he knew what happened to her. His apologies to Genya despite doing nothing wrong.

• His conversation with his mother. There was so much love. He understood the position she was in, and how difficult it is for her as Queen. Then telling her there is no justification to her choices. Despite saying that, there was so much love in his words.

• Him consoling Alina when she found out about Mal being the Firebird.

• Him listening to Mal talks about freedom and comforting Mal, telling him he’s glad he was able to give Mal a taste of it before his end.

• Dominik’s death scene - where he cried but held in shortly after because they were at war.

• Him hugging Tamar when they reunited.

• Him thanking Alina for making him less alone and making sure his appreciation was heard and understood.

• Him naming Mal Sturmhond, giving him the compass - giving Mal a vessel (literally) and a temporary identity to find himself again.

He was so genuine through it all. So kind and was so generous in showing that he cares.

The detail on the melted wire of the piano that Jesper has fixed - with clear signs that the wire was melted unevenly as a way to indicate that Jesper is under trained with his abilities as a durast. I loved that.

If Mother Gothel and Claude Frollo ever meet each other they would bond immediately and exchanging notes on how they lock their “child” in towers and gaslighting them into thinking they won’t be loved by others other than their “parent/savior” over a casual tea session. They’d be besties.

do you ever see someone in some quiet intimate moment and suddenly love them so desperately you feel like you’re dying

#like when they pass a mirror and make a face and mess with their hair a little #or when you hear someone singing in their car with the windows rolled up as they drive past you #i don’t know how to express this i just. people are people and it makes me so sad and filled up sometimes
