#HE IS 400 YEARS OLD

[lasymit]

Do you remember this moment in Hollow Mind when Philip says "this thing was a thorn in my side for years" about palismen monster? Why everybody do think this "years" was about his whole life? Like do you really expect the most powerfull person on the Boiling Isles be so helpless? Couldn't he do this already by himself? Maybe even a few times? It makes no sense, if he never tried this option or, if tried, never succeed. He is a fucking genius, he invented quantum physics, two teenagers couldn't be his only solution. He had 400 years to find out, how to manage this problem. So I think he actually did eliminate palismen monsters few times, and then, as he ate more palismen, new monster appeared. The one we saw in the show was just the last one

I do like to think that Dandelion being so well versed in stories and rhymes and songverse and languages has aided Geralt on jobs before because Geralt will be complaining about some guy whose wife disappeared and all he has to go on are a bunch of feathers left in her room and Dandelion will go "oh like a crane wife!" and Geralt's like "what" so Dandelion tells him all about the crane wife trope in bardic tales and Geralt's like. Well goddamn I think you might be right

Sometimes solving a curse means asking a mage for help and other times you just gotta turn to your academic bardic bestie to learn about Sleeping Beauty and True Love's Kiss

it’s actually astounding how quickly a fandom can devolve a well-written Character to One (1) Character Trait They Exhibited Once Forever

[emotinalsupportturtle]

They should just let David Tennant do every Shakespeare play because;

he just has a way of speaking shakespeare that brings the words to life

he would fucking love it

why not? we know Shakespeare wrote those fruity bastards specifically for him

nobody has to ever read shakespeare in english class again. Just pull out the Tennant version

tbh I think more authors should do novella compilations like the bane chronicles..... just a bunch low-stakes stories with plots that have at least some degree of silliness to them that offer some backstory to your characters. especially in YA like it's fun to see characters in a high stakes battle and/or fighting inner demons but these people are 16-21. they should be at the club sometimes

Also what if I said the show taking time to show that Luz and Hunter aren't unhealthily dependent on one another post time skip the way they were in thanks to them (but still close seen in Luz's patches on her clothes or Hunter taking time off work to go to Luz's bday) actually plays in to the cycle of sibling betrayal motif w/ the Clawthornes and Wittebanes????

[kraviolis]

Belos: I’m going to raise Luz as my daughter and ensure that she remains pure and loyal to me.

Also Belos: I’m going to let the 7-years-old clone of my brother take care of her I’m sure he’ll be able to do that.

you joke but thats LITERALLY his entire thought process at first. he's so isolated and arrogant that he couldnt possibly comprehend the idea that luz wouldnt see him as her father despite the fact he literally told hunter he was going to be her older brother and never once encouraged hunter to see him as anything but an uncle.

i attribute this to the fact that philip is an orphan who only ever knew his blood brother as his only caretaker, so he sorta took having a brother for granted and didn't realize that was something you could want rather than something that just Is.

(also caleb was the only person philip ever truly knew + loved and even well into his 300s he never once picked up a child psychology book and realized that Perhaps His Worldview Was Skewed Because Of That.)

he literally like. could not comprehend the idea that you could even choose your own family outside of like. being adopted by someone. thats the other thing with him being so annoyingly christian in this AU, he was taught that your blood family (esp yr parents) is always the most important thing in your life & you should always be grateful to them no matter what.

(this is another factor into why he keeps making grimwalkers. in his own twisted viewpoint, it's him giving caleb another chance. and another. and another-- at least in this specific characterization of him.)

philip thought that him adopting luz would mean she would immediately be eternally grateful to him and call him father and the whole nine yards. but he forget to actually express that expectation until it was too late (aka until he heard her call him uncle for the first time)

honestly, hes not MAD about it. he's just sorta :( about it bcus hes not actually insane and can still logically think like "she did say she had just lost her real father to an illness its perfectly reasonable for her to not want to replace him" (he doesnt think it outloud but he also enjoys living thru her vicariously

but also later on as she gets older it gets to a point where he's like "ok its been years now why isnt she trying to replace him yet" bcus he thinks its a normal + healthy part of the grieving process to replace the person you lost (figuratively or, in his case, Literally)
