[cissa-calls]

Reflecting on the scene of young Lilia in a gown the color of goldenrods in bloom and sunshine, racing to meet her teacher and begin learning what it is to be a witch. Learning what would have been the end, her end, was heartbreaking yet healing. She was full of anticipation and ambition and life, before the weight of prosecution, guilt for having predicted and watched her coven die, and having to bury her magic (once her source of power) became known. When she stays behind to trap the Salem Seven, she tells Jen with more love and conviction that she has spoken in the entire show:

“I loved being a witch”

Lilia finally realizes her path, steps and accepts what it means to know herself. To practice witchcraft, as proved in the trial by reading her own tarot instead of Billy’s, divination is not only more than kooky sector of the craft, but an act of her agency. An extension of herself. She can relinquish guilt and shame, but doesn’t grieve, despite only realizing this when her time seems to be running out. After all,

“The flow of time is an illusion”

When Lilia let go of the table in the trial room, falling in a gown evoking a character who represents all things good and dressed once again as a queen of cups, she is floating, flying. She is more than a batty woman. She is a cunning witch, and she always will be. So, while Death is guaranteed, it is not the end. That’s why the end of the episode is the earliest we see young Lilia. Her life is a tapestry, not a timeline. The cycle repeats and life goes on, as her mentor says:

“Let us begin.”

I really wish Sam comes back but mixed with the Archivist

You can't have an alchemy story without a fucked up chimera!

My Axis anatomy/design:

Forgot to draw that he can do the sans undertale thing where he can make his pupils disappear, that's why in some drawings he has them and in some he doesn't.

[gideonisms]

I think what I also meant to say in my previous post was that gideon's death is presented to harrow as something she needs to heal and move on from in order to accept her current situation. And harrow simply refuses to accept the current situation and I don't think the narrative is leading to her ever accepting it. Gideon's death as fuel for harrow's lyctorhood is paralleled with alecto's death as fuel for john's power, which is a pretty straightforward metaphor for the way that empires like john's exploit the people they can and take natural resources with no thought for the future. So if these things are all connected, I just don't see how we could get any kind of satisfying ending out of harrow accepting gideon's death because to do so she'd kind of have to accept what john did to alecto and on a metaphorical level it would be a pretty bleak tone to strike to have harrow decide, oh well, there's nothing to be done. when there actually clearly were things to be done and harrow did them

idk about y'all, but of all doctors in this department, if there is actually drug diversion, the doctor who might need Lorazepam the most is the doctor who has been having visual and auditory trauma flashbacks all day..... ie Robby.

i do feel a little crazy whenever anti-porn or anti-sex work legislation is on the table and we have to start listing out all the ppl that may be affected by it curb cut style when like. it really would be bad enough even if it would only affect sex workers.

[clonehub]

I think some clones would choose names that aren't legible on purpose to be honest. Names that get "why would you name yourself that?" with no response. All part of refusing to be studied.

There’s this author on ao3 called edgebug and, genuinely, their fics rewrite my brain chemistry

[ryanguzmansource]

Small change but we wanted to make everyone aware. we won’t be including the social media handles for any of Ryan’s friends or family unless it is someone in the industry themselves and have a significant following. for example: JJ, Scotty, Oliver, Aisha etc.

Please don’t ask where it’s from or post the handle in the comments. It will be deleted. Thanks! - K

nobody talks enough about how alex rider in the books is SOOO vegan coded my guy becomes an animal rights activist at every opportunity

not to mention that animal death/cruelty/eating meat is often used to depict the villains in an even crueller light

blunt saying ‘i hope you eat meat’ on the meal after alex has just been drugged and kidnapped by mi6, point blanc being lined with animal heads, damian cray abusing a snake for the sake of his video game ect

in the narrative, alex is treated the equivalent to these animals. he is the prey, the expendable. it doesn’t matter whether he lives or dies, so long as he can be used

alex is treated like an animal and so he finds kinship with and sorrow for those creatures like him who were brought up to die from the start
