Shadow and Bone 2x05 - "Yuyeh Sesh (Despise your Hear) : Alina & Aleksander

"- Aleksander. You seem surprised to see me. (Alina) - I am. But perhaps I shouldn't be. I should have known you'd prove to be an apt pupil. (Aleksander) - I realized you were right. (Alina) - How so? (Aleksander) - I was meant for more (I thought for you a moment). You were the first person to see me as I truly am. First to help me realize what I'm capable of. (Alina) - Was I? And what about your tracker? (Aleksander) - Mal doesn't understand the power growing within me. He can't. That's not his fault. (Alina) - I did try to warn you. Tried to explain. There are no others like us and there never will be. (Aleksander) - I'm finally starting to understand that. To feel it. (Alina - As delighted as I am that you found your way to me, what do you want? (Aleksander) - This thing that binds us. I think you fear it more than you care to admit. (Alina) - I feared everything there is to fear, it made me strong. I understand things about power that you've years yet to learn. (Aleksander) - It's not all about power though, is it? What about what I want? (Alina) - The problem with wanting is that it makes us weak." (Aleksander)

first city of light mention woowww. the writers were v good at setting up the next season in the beginning. we got our first mountain men/mt weather mention in mid s1. cant wait for jaha to be absolutely insufferable <3

wick making raven a brace :') fuck the actor for being scummy and ruining a good storyline/character

do yall think u could bite a tracker out of your arm the way anya did?? i feel like i could cut it out or somehting but idk if i could actually use my teeth lmao

BLAKE SIBLING REUNION!!!

2x05

i did not have much to say about the last episode lmao. it was lots of in between stuff but now im on the episode of all the best reunions!!!

abby seeing clarke dragged in, covered in mud and blood...oof must have been such a crazy experience as a mother. im so happy for clarke though bc u can see how much she missed having someones support. like baby girl had a ful breakdown in her arms and you know she needed it

s2 bellarke reunion hug as the best bellarke reunion hug??? i think so

staging the radiation leak so maya could get sick and they could use jasper as a blood bank. yeah no. we are fighting

oh look....cage jr..... yay......

reaper lincoln :(

abby slapping raven... ooo raven is better than me bc i would simply not allow that!

currently rewatching the 100 while i do my lil crafts and i want a place to drop live thoughts

1x13

obvi decided to do this after almost finishing s1 but i just watched the ark separate from go sci and i am tearing up a lil bit i wont lie. like ugh s1 jaha was so fucking good and then he quite literally becomes the worst lmao

also this will be so controversial but as i was rewatching s1, i do not.....hate finn...... stop throwing rocks at me!!!!! he was a dumb teenager who thought he would never see raven again and yeah he handled it badly and yeah he definitely fucks up big time next season, but i was a big idiot at 17 so i cant say i blame him tbh. like, he's v likeable and i love how much he fights for peace and the way he is so affected by his first kill in the reaper tunnels with clarke

oh kinda on that note, my fave clarke kill is her first non mercy kill. obvi atom is the first official, but i think we really overlook that first grounder she ever killed with the scalpel when her and finn were kidnapped to save anya's second. like eliza is so good with her microexpressions and while she isnt as affected as finn, u can see so much pass over her face in such a short time

okay also s1 kane is so fucking annoying but i love his arc so i am accepting it

and lincoln!!!!! the man that you are!!!!!!! we deserved more time with you

[saruma-aki]

yeah the titans writers clearly forgot (or didn’t care) about his arm tracker, cause if the leg one is his second one then there should still be one in his arm....

right? so they totally would’ve been able to track him down as soon as they were out of the area that interferes with the signal. honestly, it’s such an important moment for dick when they talked about it back in 1x06 that i can’t believe they just forgot like that. i’m worries about their sanity now. (it would explain why they keep sleeping on gar, though. insanity is the only valid reason.)

Colter Shaw in Tracker - 2x05

[princeescaluswords]

*once more, dons the fancy and stylish hat of fandom logic and dramatically runs on all fours onto stage like Derek Hale* Following fanon criteria of what constitutes a "good alpha", Derek is terrible. You all say yourselves that his repeated awful decisions are "he's trying his BEST!1" and coddling him because he has Trauma. Well, maybe that makes him unfit for the role. Why didn't he kill Kate? How hard could it be for a superior born werewolf to kill a human? Murder is the best choice right? Shouldn't he have also sensed that Deaton wasn't a werewolf, let alone a Alpha, like how he sneered at Scott for using his smell at lacrosse practice? Shouldn't Derek have a sacred, special connection to the Hale alpha spark and sensed it inside Peter? Why can't this incompetent 20 something do ANYTHING right?

Competence has always been a red herring, for both the production and the fandom.

The production used it as a red herring in a positive way, highlighting that true strength and heroism comes from your motives and methods and not the final result. Yes, part of the subversiveness of Teen Wolf is that it rejects a staple of the urban fantasy/horror genre, saying that the end does not justify the means. Scott isn't the True Alpha because he'll destroy those who threaten his loved ones or pass judgment on those who don't agree with him, he's the True Alpha because ... well, let's go to the tape for some examples.

In Venomous (2x05):

Derek: I don't know why you think you have to protect everyone now, Scott, but even so, Lydia has killed people and she's gonna do it again, and next time, it's gonna be one of us.

Scott: What if you're wrong?

In Currents (3x07):

Deaton: It's rare. It's something that doesn't happen within 100 years, but every once in a while a beta can become an Alpha without having to steal or take that power. They call it a true Alpha. It's one who rises purely on the strength of the character, by virtue, by sheer force of will.

In Illuminated (3x16):

Ethan: You don't get it, do you? Scott doesn't care about power. He cares about people. You want to be a wolf in his pack? Try being a human in high school.

In Monstrous (4x10):

Meredith: He's the alpha. He's always been the alpha. He'll make it right. It never was with us. Too many people died because of us. We're the monsters. Even Banshees. Even me.

Lydia: I don't believe that. Not all monsters do monstrous things.

Meredith: Like who?

Lydia: Like Scott.

In Strange Frequencies (5x07):

Theo: If Scott really gave up on you for some piece of crap like Donovan, then he wouldn't be a True Alpha, would he?

Stiles: Or maybe that's the definition of one, someone who doesn't put up with murder.

In Apotheosis (5x20):

Kira: Me again. I have to leave. But I'm coming back to help. I promise. Because you're right, Scott. If anyone's going to save Mason, it's you. It's us.

In Pressure Test (6x05):

Tierney: Why do you care anyway?

Theo: Oh, I don't. But you should find Scott McCall. He's got a thing for taking in strays.

Again and again, Scott places the most value on each and every individual life, regardless of who it is and what it means in the grand scheme of things, and that is how he changes the world. Notice that this has nothing to do with whether he succeeds or not. In the show, he's not the strongest, or the smartest, or the best speaker, or the best tracker, or the most skilled fighter. People -- a lot of people -- still die as he struggles to defeat the villains. He does, however, care for others -- even Peter who transformed and violated him, even Chris Argent who hunted him, even Derek who manipulated him and beat him, even Deucalion who tried to reshape Scott into his image, even Stiles who lied to him and betrayed him, even Liam and Theo who worked together to murder him.

And, much to the show's credit, they didn't have Scott doing this effortlessly, implying that it's an innate function or Chosen-One destiny. Scott had moments of anger, of resentment, of ruthlessness, or giving in to the urge to win at any cost. In order for Teen Wolf to make its point, Scott had to be shown as just as capable of being a goal-oriented prick as any other character. That's why they had him threaten Gerard as he did, why they had him toss Isaac into a wall, why he dreamed of murdering Liam, and why he lied to Kira and violated Corey. The show didn't want to imply that only special people are capable of this feat, that he was somehow unique in the world, but that he chose to be this way.

And, parts of the fandom, as parts of the fandom always do, performed a nose-plant into the dirt to allow this point -- telegraphed so often -- to wiz right on past their head.

You see, the show -- much to my personal irritation -- allowed individuals like Peter to be successful. After all, Peter killed everyone involved with the Hale fire. He resurrected himself. He escaped Eichen House and the Wild Hunt. He discovered his daughter and forcibly inserted himself into her life. He ended the show having reclaimed his families legacy with his freedom and wealth intact.

But we will always know that he ended the series in such a positive position because of Scott. Just as Derek was able to change the way he approached the world, was able to move past his trust issues and put to rest his demons because of Scott. Just as Theo was able to find a new way to live because of Scott. As Chris Argent did. As Lydia did. Scott's leadership was, to use a phrase, transformative.

And yes, I hear the anti-Scott white-power Machiavellian wannabes grinding their teeth in outrage. There's scene after scene of text -- and not invented subtext -- which makes that the point of the show. They'll choke on it before they can bring themselves to admit it.

[shiramoonshadow]

This is the second part of the last post.  

What is your favorite moment in the show? Rhona, and then Omari, and then Paula and then Jack.

Omari: I don’t have a moment but I think like whenever I see and hear Harrow speak I get emotional because I think of myself as a kid and seeing this like honorable, powerful king who happens to look kind of like me, I just think I didn’t really have that often on animated shows so I get...I get emotional. Again, you’re talking to a guy who every time I watch Spider-man into the Spider-Verse I cry while they’re talking like I...It just affects me on a deep level.

Paula: For me it’s an episode and it’s 2x05, when Viren is trying to convince the council to go to war and Queen Aanya is not having it, that whole episode I just love it and Jason was just talking forever and it was great, even being in the room for that episode was amazing. Just love it.

Jack: Ezran ascending to the throne. I just think like a shot of him entering the throne room and taking that on, I think it’s just one of the more well-earned and beautiful, like whoa, him leaving the journey to go back take on that responsibility, I think is just incredible.

Rhona: I think another special moment was just the first time seeing Amaya sign. That was really a special moment, you know, it felt like having black royal family, groundbreaking, and having a character sign, groundbreaking.

Mental illness representation, Callum’s anxiety...oh, okay. What do you guys think of the kind of ever present discussion of people dealing with “are they capable?” Because both Rayla and Callum are very much open and honest with like “am i a failure?” (This was mine!)

Omari: Oh, it's great to see characters that are, you know, lack confidence and struggle with these real things that I'm sure a lot of viewers do as well."

Jack: I'm a person with generalized anxiety disorder, it's what it’s been called to me, and I struggle with anxiety a lot and it's a big thing that I connected to with this character and it does feel like the show explores it in a way that isn't like…. Sometimes it’s in like, sometimes it’s in a character description as just like “anxious” just like “Oh, that’s just like a trait” as opposed to a like... a part of this person and a struggle that they're facing and I think Callum really does read to me as a person with an anxiety disorder and they really like, you know, he is really grappling with it and working through it and the dark magic coma scene that I’ve talked about a bunch because I just love it. I love that, you know, to unlock the person that he needs to be, it's stuff that I do to work on anxiety where it’s like “oh he's gotta calm down and channel his breath and think and focus on just the thing in front of him”, like those things, I think that's beautiful and I love it. Love it.

Was there a point in the story that really surprised you? Like, I did not see that. (I already wrote Paula's answer and Jack's reply, twice because I'm stupid and tumblr hates me)

Jack: I just said it, but truly, Ezran leaving. I think was a real like...It’s just so not in the outline you think of this journey when you look at the beginning of the series. You go like, oh these three kids who are like going off to meet the dragon queen and this is the one who can, this kid can like talk to animals, so he’s going to be there to talk to the dragon queen, and the fact that “no, it makes more sense that he has to go back and do the adult thing" even though he’s an 11 year old. I think that’s a really logical plot decision that is, I think, completely shocking from just a genre perspective of like, you know, this is the show where it’s about kids on an epic quest, the main kid doesn’t leave in the middle of the epic quest to go home and do a job. That’s weird, but I think it just really makes sense and it’s really cool.

Paula: What you said (about Rayllum) it’s kind of funny because I think her..for me, in terms of the relationship with Callum, for Rayla it was like “oh, this annoying guy that I have to take care of and I’ve got to explain everything to him”. Well, that does sound like the start of all my relationships so...I don’t know why I didn’t see it coming.

Omari: For a selfish pov just, you know, Corvus going from tracker to a protector, an ally. It was a great story and we talked about it on the previous one, just spoke of the brilliance of the... just the nuance of the storytelling, constant twists that are really surprising and fun.

Rhona: I feel like I want to use the same moment, just the first time I saw Amaya sign and I think the show approaches so many issues with such respect and it’s not made this big deal of... and I loved also that there wasn’t a translation. I think that it really blew me away to see that and, you know, we mentioned in our panel last night how there are fun little signing easter eggs left in there. I don’t know, I just loved that moment.

Who’s the most likely to break character and laugh during the session?

Paula: Jesse.

Rhona: Oh, he’s not here to defend himself.

Paula: Jesse and Racquel together.

Jack: Yeah, the combo.

Last question, what movie or show would your characters be a fan of? (This was mine too)

Rhona: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Like getting in there, stealing precious artifacts, going on adventures....

Omari: Terminator 2.

Paula: I think Rayla's pretty into sports, if she’s gonna watch a movie might be something like Tomb Raider, something with a girl.

Is there a sports woman movie?

Jack: Hold on, what’s like a hard-edged female sports movie…

Rhona: I, Tonya?

Jack: There’s a Drew Barrymore...roller derby movie? (Whip It) (About Callum) I was trying to think if there’s like an animated thing because he’s so into drawing, so I was trying to think if there was like an animated...Um…

Rhona: The Last Airbender.

Jack: The Last Airbender, yeah. He’s really into The Last Airbender. He has a big connection with boomerangs and he doesn’t understand, I think that’s perfect.

Edit: sorry I forgot to say that I didn't write any questions about through the moon since none of them have read it yet, but Rhona has started a free webinar series called Mistressclass and Omari's been one of the few men that they had on their platform. It's to learn about the industry from mostly women to voice over, to on camera, to commercials, to head shots to agents. They are going to have one about audition nerves and anxiety if you're interested!

Titans 2x05

I think I have an unhealthy obsession with Salde Wilson, but honestly he's the daddy of all villains and I'm going to explain why.

First off, this man is so annoyed with his villain bro that he kills him cuz he's that annoying.

Second, he literally slices Jason open to take his tracker out and divert the Titans else where. Badass.

Third, The dude is so evil he wants to kill his own daughter.

Also, they did such a good job on his costume, A+++++ all around for the authenticity and its just looks so good in the lighting of the show(the one time I'll be okay with the strange tone the screen has).

Things I liked:

-Dick and Kori kicking Deathstroke ass. They worked so well together and were able to protect one another.

-Dick and Slade fighting, no joke, I fucking died when Dick used the pipe to stop Slade from attacking Kori. Shit had me gasping and fangirling all at once. It really brought me back to watching Teen Titans as a kid. nostalgia was real.

-Kori coming through and asking the real questions: how can we fix this, lets not be monster, Dick, sweetie, you should have called.

-The tension between Rachel and everyone is spot on for her character. She knows what she is and how dangerous she can be and tries to warn those around her. It really plays home to the person Raven is in the comics and other mediums I've watched her in.

(Edit: There was one more thing I liked: Dick was so quick to give Kori the run down on what happened all those years ago. This man trusts her so much and I love it.)

Things I did not like:

-I know Rose is a meta like Slade, but I'm confused by her resurrection? I don't know much about Rose Wilson, but that was a little strange to me.

-The argument of giving up Rose to Slade. That was some dark shit coming from these so called "heroes". If Kori weren't there they would have killed 2 Wilson kids.

-Why does Kori always have to be the one to fix the problem? Why can't they figure it out on their own without needing her voice of reason. How did the Titans even FUNCTION without a Kori among them?!

-Jason just needs to shut up sometimes *sighs

After thought,

Can we start calling Rachel Raven yet, I hate that she doesn't use her actual name yet.

Overall, looooooovvvvvveeeee it!

Onto 2x06 Connor!!!!

Shadow and Bone 2x05 - "Yuyeh Sesh (Despise your Hear) : Quotes

"- I do not like the sound of that. But I like the sound of that." (Jesper)

"- But why wouldn't he tell me about a job for the Sun Summoner? (Inej) - Because he'd rather push you away than admit he feels anything for you. Oh, was I not supposed to say that out loud?" (Nina) "- What about Tolya? Aren't you worried about how he'll find us now? (Aditi) - Unless he starts reciting epic poetry to Zoya, he'll be fine." (Tamar)

"- This country has clearly been destroyed. My question is will you be the one to make it right?" (Baghra)

"- You will pay for what you did, you monster ! At least you now look like what you truly are. (Tatiana) - Ask me how I did it. I put the poison on my body for weeks. So that every time he touched me, every time.... he kissed me, he took some of it into himself. All he had to do was stop coming to my bed. (Genya) - He was your king! (Tatiana) - He brought it on himself. I don't want your apology. What as done to me can never be undone. What I want to know is whether or not you truly mean to fix all that is broken about Ravka, or if you are just destined to repeat the failures of our previous kings." (Genya)

"- Well, how will you fix it? (Baghra) - If I knew that, I wouldn't be talking to you, would I? (Alina) - This mental bridge between you can only be crossed if you choose to cross it. Every time you think of him or he thinks of you, you seek the other out." (Baghra)

"- Aleksander. You seem surprised to see me. (Alina) - I am. But perhaps I shouldn't be. I should have known you'd prove to be an apt pupil. (Aleksander) - I realized you were right. (Alina) - How so? (Aleksander) - I was meant for more (I thought for you a moment). You were the first person to see me as I truly am. First to help me realize what I'm capable of. (Alina) - Was I? And what about your tracker? (Aleksander) - Mal doesn't understand the power growing within me. He can't. That's not his fault. (Alina) - I did try to warn you. Tried to explain. There are no others like us and there never will be. (Aleksander) - I'm finally starting to understand that. To feel it. (Alina - As delighted as I am that you found your way to me, what do you want? (Aleksander) - This thing that binds us. I think you fear it more than you care to admit. (Alina) - I feared everything there is to fear, it made me strong. I understand things about power that you've years yet to learn. (Aleksander) - It's not all about power though, is it? What about what I want? (Alina) - The problem with wanting is that it makes us weak." (Aleksander)

"- You and the Darkling share a sort of connection. Why didn't you tell me? (Mal) - When would I have told you? I couldn't find you, you weren't there. It leads to me saving Ravka, repairing this Saints-forsaken country. (Alina) - To what end? (Mal) - To the extent that it needs. Is there anything other than that? (Alina) - No. No, it's exactly that, I just needed to hear you say it. So you understand that you and I are not in lockstep. That you have raced ahead on a path that I'm way behind on. And that's where you should be, because you were meant for more. I'll get you the Firebird, that's all I have to offer. Same old trick." (Mal)

"- You need to forget the Fjerdan. (Zoya) - Really? Now is when you choose to have this conversation? (Nina) - Seems as good a time as any to point out you're throwing your life away. For a Drüskelle. (Zoya) - That's not who he is. That's how he was raised. (Nina) - They burn us, Nina. You can't unlearn that sort of hatred. (Zoya) (...) - For the first time in our lives, we chose to be free. (Nina) - And now he's in Hellgate and you've abandoned your country when it needed you the most. Was it worth it?" (Zoya)

"- I am Pekka Rollins. And my death will not come at the hands of a fucking nobody." (Pekka Rollins)

"- Tell me the truth. This connection you share with Aleksander, what else is there to it? (Baghra) - I don't understand what you mean. (Alina) - There's a difference between not understanding and refusing to face difficult truth, girl. Just now, when you were with Aleksander light exploded out of you as if it could hardly be contained. So, what aren't you telling me? You said you wanted a way to shut him out. You won't be able to move beyond this until you face it. (Baghra) - I feel him. (Alina) - Are you saying that as a projection, he can touch you? (Baghra) - It's more than that. Every time I use my powers, I feel him. His hands on me, making me use it. Even after we escaped the Fold and I cut the antler from his hand, I still felt him. I told myself to ignore it, that it would dull with time. And once I had the Sea Whip, it did. Its power, it felt... different. I felt different. I felt... free. The power was... Was angry, but it was mine. Mine alone. And then I saw him again. It was like he stole my powers all over again. Like the Sea Whip was no longer mine but also his. (Alina) - And why did you think that? Because he's why I sought it in the first place. If it weren't for him, I never would have take the Sea Whip's life or power. If it weren't for him, I'd still be a mapmaker. He was the first person to show me that I wasn't just some weak stick from Keramzin. That I was Grisha. That I was powerful. That I was meant for more. (Alina) - Even without Aleksander's influence, those things remain true. (Baghra) - But so much of what I have done and who I am is because of him. Even my powers are tied to him, the man who manipulated and betrayed Genya, betrayed Ravka.... (Alina) - Who betrayed you. Violated you. Aleksander is hundreds of years old, nearly infinite in his power, and yet, a scrap of a girl has bested him not once, but again and again. You are who you are in spite of him. Because your will is stronger than his. The only way you'll find peace is to finish what you've started. Dismantle the Fold, go to the heart of Aleksander's creation and heal the wound he's left on this country. (Baghra) (Come on, Alina betrayed him because of you. She wasn't violated, she was the once initiated the kiss) - But I can't do it without the Firebird. (Alina) - I will help you find it. (Baghra) - No lecture about combining amplifiers? The abomination of it all? (Alina) - Two amplifiers ago, I would have cautioned you about greed, power. No. The abomination would be not to see this through to the end. (Baghra) - You know where to look? (Alina) - I know where to start. Morozova's workshop, or what remains of it." (Baghra)

"- So you are capable of quiet contemplation. Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. Though I'll admit it's a bit of a relief. (Alina) - Well, I am but a man, Alina. Dashing and terribly brave, but still... (Nikolai) - Still ? (Alina) - How are things? With Mal? (Nikolai) - He's never walked away from me like that before. (Alina) - He loves you, Alina. Even I see that. (Nikolai) - I have to go. (Alina) - Firebird. You'd really leave me to rally the troops at Zvedya all by myself? (Nikolai) - Guess you'll have to "focus on the task at hand, saving Ravka." (Alina) - I love it when you quote me. (Nikolai) - Your lucky compass. (Alina) - You returned my emerald, I thought you'd want another excuse to seek me out. (Nikolai) - I'll return it as soon as I can. (Alina) - I know it'll be hard, but try not to miss me too much. (Nikolai) - Impossible." (Alina)

"- And what of the Sun Summoner? (Grisha) - The whole world will hear it when I make her scream. (Aleksander)

"- I'm just saying you have nothing to be ashamed of. (Jesper) - You're trying to tell me how to feel about my shame when you're hiding the very thing that makes you special. (Wylan) (....) - The thing that I don't understand is why you keep it a secret. You're Zemeni. Zemeni believe that Grisha powers are a blessing. So why do you hide it? (Wylan) - Because it's not a blessing, it's a curse. And you have no idea what it's cost me. (Jesper)

[taylorkellyreporting]

i hope no one minds if i liveblog this bitch: batwoman from 2x05

wolf-spider is such a dumbass name

woah woah woah it was a fake? knew it was too easy

knew they were in love!!!!

HE HAS THE PAINTING WHAT

oh the next episode is called ‘do not resuscitate’ i don’t like that

HE JUST TOOK MARY WHAT THE HELL

“what do you want, crowphie?” PLS 😭😭

oh he took jacob too

wow what a way for him to find out

angelique sucks. it’s like she cares about ryan but clearly not enough to stop selling drugs.

“oh, crap.” lmaoo

hopefully that’s the last we see of angelique for a while cause she really isn’t good for ryan

alice looks horrible as a brunette

sorry but it wasn’t kate’s fault that she didn’t know alice was in the cell so idk why she’s blaming her

love how they’re both writing letters to kate in their notebooks but they couldn’t be more different

does this mean we’re getting the bat-team in coryana?

apparently not lmao

“why the hell would i join an army of ruthless killers?” “because you’re already a part of one.” get her again!

well that went to shit pretty fast

oh shit they’re alone. in a locked cell. shit.

woah she read her ass to filth

safiyah needs to realize that her doing all that still isn’t going to make alice love her

“kate’s dead.”

oh what the hell he’s alive?!

knew it was her

part of me knew it would always come to this

she’s a bad bitch, most people wouldn’t get it

“i don’t wanna die alone.” excuse me while i weep?

HELLO

ENDGAME MATERIAL CALLING IT NOW

is this going to start wildmoore on their journey to becoming friends? or do i have to suffer more?

WOAH????

first of all, what the fuck was that ending? second of all, what the FUCK was that ending?!

bit disappointed it didn’t pick up where it left off

i never wanna see sophie cry again are you insane???

what the actual fuck? kate’s dead isn’t she?? so? what’s going on???

oh great angelique is back 🙄

lmao what if she finally gets out just to die? wouldn’t be the first time something like that happened

“we taking her back?” oh i love mary

ah hell she’s sophie’s sister

oh shit the driver was angelique??? woah

“not even an enemies to lovers maybe.” oh i can’t wait for this scene to be used in edits once they’re canon

OH MY GOD HE CUT HIM IN HALF WHAT KIND OF SHOW IS THIS DKFJFJJVKSKS

didn’t expect her to take the fall to protect ryan

okay so was someone pretending to be julia or was she hypnotized the way alice and ocean were?

so kate is alive? i’m so damn confused

why couldn’t he just knock him out from the start?

super friends with benefits 😭

she’s a legit doctor. because of course.

for a second i thought she was going to tell him the way to let go of the pain was to be hypnotized lmao

is he the guy behind the black mask?! cause him taking the snake bites to jacob was deliberate and who else would know that he was attacked with it?

not alice sneezing into the tissue and then putting it back into the box?? oh i love her 😭

i love mary for putting her foot down with jacob

so julia is just leaving??? hopefully this episode isn’t the last time we see her

jacob is using, julia is moving, angelique was taken, and it isn’t even the season finale. whew.

“crowphie” will always take me out 😭

oh my God sophie was undercover

“soph” 🥺

she’s baby

she really called him larry 😭

“i killed ocean and i felt nothing.” so are we just supposed to act like she wasn’t on the verge of tears as she was doing it?

that whole tracker scene was intense at

ah shit sophie went rogue

they’re my little loves

sophie going after black mask alone was a really stupid idea i mean…did she honestly think that she can take him down alone?

convinced these mfs are the same person

oh shit sophie found the AI. is she gonna figure out that sophie is batwoman soon??? this is getting juicy

NOOO HE’S GONNA GET HER DNA FUCK

OH MY GOD SHE KNOWWWWSSSS

aaaand that concludes the first half is s2!
