I have learned to connect the dots on so many levels. God helps me with that. Daily. If I don’t have enough time to work out, rather than stress about it, I chill. No sense making an ado about nothing. Connect the dots of “chilling” on this day. Maybe my body needs a rest day.
Yikes! I have a husband now! That means my morning routine has changed. I don’t have enough time to write two blogs –…
there’s something SO specific about smg’s performance in mid season seven where she goes like. almost entirely neutral around spike in a way buffy doesn’t naturally, so it comes off extremely intentional and like. the way you can tell buffy finally understands how she feels is that she very specifically does not let it show but she also like. holds herself around him like she knows he can tell anyways? i am delusional but there’s Something with her faces around him that are so so so aching it’s crazy…… “i can be alone with you here” but physically because she lets herself be Still and just Look
Hannibal saying "I was worried you were dead" in Fromage and then saying "I don't care about the lives you save; I care about your life" in the NEXT FUCKING EPISODE. I'm going to explode they make me sick
Since I have the first three chapters of the next installment of the House of Elle series more or less finished and I'm going to start posting stuff soon(ish), here be a few out memes for things going on in this one 😄
(The corrupted text on the second to last one is intentionally unreadable, it just says "Eldritch Text Because Spoilers" because, you know, spoilers haha)
Thinking about how maybe the curse of icarus was that they were always meant for the aether rather then the overworld, meant for their mothers blue, thinking about how many times they had to be saved by undoing the world itself, and how had they not been they would've joined the destroyed realm that no longer existed, thinking about how they fly as if it is as natural as breathing, a trait that some ender people found, but only after they were given the ability by changing the aethers inherent flight, after they molded and changed their own elytra, becuase the aether was the sky, it was to breathe in the fresh air though you didnt need to anymore, and who wouldn't fly in the sky? Thinking about how the first person luce saw was icarus, and they were the first person he emulated, idk just thinking about the idea that had everything somehow worked out the same without the aether falling, icarus may have joined their uncle instead of their father, about how fable's actions (taking away isla) would have let the prophecy he was so scared of take place, would have meant one of the mortals he had created would have joined the aether just as he feared
thinking about the thought that icarus was named after the story of the boy who fell, who went to close to the sun and fell to the sea, thinking about how they were always meant to fly, but they've always been destined to fall
re: falin having a choice when it comes to having a longer lifespan
makes me think about her choice to save and even feed the dragons soul in the last chapter. i like to think that its this choice she makes that gives her draconic traits? like if she hadnt saved it then she comes back pretty much normal. falin seems to be proud of how different she looks now if how she dresses post-canon is anything to go by.
she also mentions that maybe its the dragon that wants her to travel to different places but i think shes always had the heart of an adventurer. when laios mentions being able to travel she was so so excited. and as a little kid she went out and discovered that dungeon all by herself.
like!! a lot of people write her being fiercely loyal and protective, as well as giving gifts (especially to marcille) as something the dragon makes her do. but from all the memories we see of her, shes always been like that (protecting her brother as kids, attacking the kelpie when laios rides it, saving her brother from getting beat up, giving marcille berries and nuts etc).
if it came down to having a longer lifespan, i dont think its out of the question if falin could just Decide for herself whether or not she wanted that. i think she’d have a good enough relationship with her inner dragon to do so, considering how much she acted like a dragon beforehand anyway
the. the fucking idea of her having had the option to completely stamp out the extra dragon soul inside herself by leaving it behind. and literally choosing not to. not even consciously but because she as a person reflexively wanted to take care of a little creature even knowing that it used to be a monster that hurt her and her loved ones. this time she gets to choose she gets to CHOOSE to live and how to live and it's always with kindness oh god oh fuck
"Now if one of you starts to believe in or worship Ankarna that's a different story" I think everyone looked a little too hard at Kristen and not NEARLY hard enough at fig
