What can fans expect from season 4?

one of my favorite things about pride and prejudice is that in the last third of the book Elizabeth’s internal monologue about Darcy is her admitting that she’s in love with him but also putting all sorts of qualifications around that statement that kind of ...tamp down the level of emotion (the “feelings, if not as tender as Jane’s for Bingley, at least as just” line, even the whole thing about her and Darcy being well-matched objectively speaking) and as soon as she’s engaged you get the unbridled joy in the narrative about her own joy, cc: “I am happier even than Jane; she only smiles, I laugh.”

there’s something so personal about the scene in fantasy high s1e7 where gorgug calls himself stupid & fabian, who up to that point had basically entirely been acting like the bad kids (especially gorgug) were beneath him & had also been the one calling ragh stupid two lines ago, instantly says “okay, do not put yourself down like that. don’t you dare do that to yourself.” like it was obvious he liked the bad kids at that point but the instinct to protect his friends manifesting as an immediate strong refusal of gorgug’s self-deprecating talk kills me. that boy loves his friends so bad oh my god i feel sick.

listen. my guilty pleasure is those merthur fics where merlin is handed over to foreign lords and they get violent and then arthur finds out and goes apeshit. love it. so fun. but what i think is so funny is that like,,, merlin would punch back. maybe not realistically, maybe he’d restrain himself, but spiritually merlin is throwing hands. i just think its funny bc in like all the fics ive read merlin is the personification of 🥺 over it

watched one of those vry melodramatic (im sorryy ok its just spoken too dramatically for me lol) cr analysis videos with no expectations but actually interesting take in one about caduceus and how he is kind and respectful and a caretaker as like , core values, but underneath is also so angry at the injustices he encounters once he has actually left his home. and i just think that is interesting and a different (but accurate) way of thinking about his reaction to things. like, finding out what ikithon did, fjord being killed before his purpose was fulfilled, innocent people getting hurt in more powerful peoples (eg: the dynasty and empires) conflicts etc, all times when he got so quietly angry . v cool read of the character 2 me

fruity four is like "STEDDIE!!! oh well and yeah steve's lesbian sidekicks I guess"

YUUUUPPP.

and i mean. we're used to that with robin unfortunately (she's been fulfilling the spot as steve's gay mentor in many people's hornygrove's fanfictions :/) and that's frustrating in and of itself (according to rr, she's literally JUST found out she's a lesbian a year or so ago and has told exactly One person. girl she wouldn't know what bisexuality is) but it's also very frustrating w nancy

because many fruity four enjoyers don't even like nancy. and/or don't include her in general with fruity four and only ever talk about eddie, robin and steve. they either hate her for "breaking steve's heart" in s2 (steve hurt her more than she ever hurt him. Btw) or they just don't include her because, maybe subconsciously, she isn't "queer enough" for them.

n that last one is it's own can of worms but it's just so fascinating to me how they consistently treat ronance, robin, and nancy like shit, all in different ways. it's like. they were tryna speedrun the "how badly can you treat female characters" speedrun

bad news, mustache, I don't know how to draw you, so you'll have to go.

FH: Rebirth version of Ricardo Ortega.

Modified version of the last one *smh*.

Don't mind my babbling on him and Cy in Rebirth under the cut.

Talking vague about spoiler-ish stuff just in case.

Good thing there is an actual time line on this. Let's see:

Upon capture Cyrus’ first feelings wouldn’t be anger at Ortega for not coming for him. In his head, as usual, he fucked up and now Ricardo’s suffering over a lost friend (sure Cy has low self-esteem, but he’s not daft, he knows how attachment works, he knows Ortega would hurt over both Anathema and him). So self-bashing is the first resort.

It would be various types of feelings after that going in circles. From fear over whether they told Ortega who Cy was, to anger over no one coming for him, to shame over not telling Ricardo the truth.

So when he escaped, Cyrus decided he’s not bothering Ortega who seemed to have moved on and good for him. He missed Ortega tho. A lot.

So meeting in the diner was… nice. And scary. Cause Cyrus physically can’t outright lie to Ortega.

Cyrus should’ve been annoyed for being dragged to HQ to help the team (god knows, I’m still pissed at the “Omg, my best friend who I thought dead for 7 years, you are alive! C’mon, I have a job for you!” behavior), but Cyrus was a) terrified b) too used to the role of a tool

So he couldn’t push back, and annoyance for being used like that came later. Which he showed during their next meeting. But still gave the bastard a hug. Couldn’t help it.

Never the less, walk in the park lead to an argument (fuck, I love that scene) and even though Cyrus simmered down, he gave Ortega nothing and left. Because let’s be honest, any info he’d give at that point would lead to even more questions, that would compromise Cy’s secrets.

Behind the secrets lies the truth and there are two possible outcomes to it:

being accepted for who he is, which sounds nice and wholesome

the only person he cares about turning away from him

And the later one would be absolutely unbearable. Just thinking about it brings about so much terror. To the point he’d literally die first before risking seeing the actual outcome on that coin flip.

Can’t see Cyrus going anywhere close to the big truth around Ortega. He'd rather just stay away.

Cy’s secret crush is such spice when he has to interact with Ortega through Eden. For Cyrus to see what it’s like to be on the receiving end of Ricardo’s interest, with (almost) no obstacles in the way...

He doesn’t like that he has to be in someone else’s body for it though.

One thing for sure, he doesn’t feel the persistent fear around Ortega when he’s in Eden. So fighting Ortega in earnest was… cathartic.

Plus, no confusion, where they stand. He was just an enemy. And a good fight. The only one who posed a problem.

Too bad Ortega is a stubborn bastard. Being free of some of the basic fears, Cyrus didn’t hold back.

Neither in combat nor in words. A moment of hesitation lead to a heartfelt monolog. Which brought Cyrus enough anger to finally knock the man out.

He regretted beating him up so badly, of course. Went to the hospital (to get another reason to beat himself over, I guess) and couldn’t help but give him a peck on the forehead. Which, apparently, gives Ortega too much room for assumptions.

I imagine it’s gonna get really complicated

if Ortega can help it

one of my fave things about teaching is that I’m NOT a counselor and I don’t have to get into the weeds with a student but also I’m part of their life every day and i see when they’re struggling and I can ask how them how they’re doing and make sure that they know I see them on a steady, daily basis and it will be healing for both of us

if a vegetarian vampire drinks human blood, do their powers become stronger? (since generally vampires are stronger when they drink human blood?)

I’m thinking of this in the context of jasper’s curse, that he claims the emotions of his “prey”/victims make feeding unpleasant, but wouldn’t eating people enhance his ability, increasing his suffering? like a fucked up little positive feedback loop

yes! Edward mentions it in Chapter 14 of Eclipse:

"Human blood makes us the strongest, though only fractionally. [...] That's why [newborn vampires] are so strong, of course. The newborns are full of human blood - their own blood, reacting to the change. It lingers in the tissues and strengthens them."

human blood increases the intensity of Jasper's gift/curse, perhaps a detectable amount but not a crippling amount. i'm sure the loss of self-control/discipline/mental acuity that veggie vamps seem to have would also adversely affect Jasper's ability to control his gift.

stupid idiot boyloser in his fucked up little feedback loop :) get fucked
