"Sam is probably my only friend in this town..." emergency sleepover time in the mountains after local small town emo and skater boy played too much solarion chronicles and lost track of time

Just look at Charlie's brain overloading from trying to cope with Nick being visibly romantically affectionate in front of people they know for the first time while also trying to pay attention to literally anything else

- and Nick realising and enjoying it.

Bonus: When Charlie gives up and gets lost in returning the adoring gaze, it makes Nick want to kiss him (lip staring intensifies)

Bonus bonus:

Spider better be allowed to connect with Eywa next movie for the sole reason that I need to see him sit with Neteyam in the spirit world. I need to see him hug his baby brother and tell him he loves him. it's literally causing me physical pain.

The Anya-Twilight interaction in the middle of this chapter is pretty interesting.

The Anya side of this interaction seems clear enough in that she's trying to obfuscate when asked about her exposure to classical language. The fact we don't see her face as she claims she doesn't remember makes me think she very possibly *does*, but doesn't want to talk about it. And, of course, as I've seen pointed out already, her face when she's first asked is very reminiscent of how she looks in the recent 'Ania' short chapter. She has thoughts/feelings about her past and they've clearly affected her, but they're not for the audience to see yet.

However, the Twilight side of this? I'm a bit stunned at how obviously he does not want to be asking this question of Anya. We know he's considered there's some reason in her past for her knowledge of classical language. We know he's a chronic overthinker. Even last chapter, he was thinking of this, but didn't ask. Anya getting second place though basically removes any plausible deniability. If he doesn't ask now, he's neglecting his duty. But still, he has to work up to it, almost leaves the room before he decides to broach the topic, and when he does, he *mumbles* it. Twilight doesn't really *act* with Anya when it's just them. His mumbling is not an act; it's reluctance.

His reluctance to ask the question of Anya is, in some ways, more egregious than how easily he drops the topic once Anya claims she doesn't remember. Not pushing her further and bringing the topic up later is a valid tactic (and likely one we may see), but we can see that he knows there's more to it. Unlike the audience, he can see her face, after all. And for now, he's indicated he won't push further despite that knowledge. By choosing to back off and patting Anya instead, he's (in a very low-key way admittedly) prioritising Anya over the mission.

It's just so neat how this one interaction showcases so much about the both of them. It hammers in Anya's trauma about her past, without spelling it out in words, but at the same time, it shows how Twilight's approach to fatherhood vs his mission are coming increasingly into conflict. We've had something similar on a larger scale with the recent Yuri-mole arc, with his role as Yor's spouse vs the mission, but it's still playing out on a smaller scale in scenes like this. And it's fascinating how the mission isn't always the clear-cut winner anymore. Sure, early on, we had Twilight sabotaging the Eden entry interview, but that was a moment of passion inspired by his whole "not wanting children to cry" deal. In other words, fuelled by some of his own trauma. In the recent chapters though, he's had time to think and justify before he acts. But the pendulum is still swinging towards his family when given the chance.

It's so convenient when you don't have Cassian's pov so you talk shit about the man.

But when y'all talk about Eris always talking like we know everything about him and when Nesta herself say that she sees Eris as a brute and a piece of shit, conveniently "she never said that, read the book"

The fact that the antis doesn't GET THIS is so annoying, it's really simple so I'll put it down for you...

Ember is a mother that loves both Bryce and Danika, this is the whole point, the fact that Ember is a mother, not the fact that she's a stranger.

For the first time Nesta felt the affection of a mother, which she never felt before, it's this the meaning of this scene.

(Nesta knows that Ember is Bryce's mother)

If Cassian had done what Ember had, it wouldn't have had the same meaning for Nesta.

And why in the hell is a bad thing that she defends herself?

I'm so done with the Nesta-damsel-in-distress thing, (mischaracterization of her) used only to bring Cassian down!

Repeat after me:

Nesta deserves her mate, Cassian.

YALL. HAVE AN EMBROIDERY/KNITTING/CRAFTING PARTY. It was an amazing time and almost no one knew each other at the start except me bc I pulled everyone together, but it went from 'haha awkward small talk' to this wonderful meditative vibing situation with people chatting and sharing skills and making things. Hours passed and I didn't even realize, and I'm someone who is usually ALWAYS checking in with myself social and physical spoonwise. You could talk or just tune in and out of various conversations and just. Parallel play for adults??? And I came out of it with a new skill and a foundation of practical know-how?? And a thing that I made?

Do yourself a favor and have a crafting party.

So Kisame's often considered the fourth most powerful Akatsuki member, but the top three are pretty unanimously Obito, Pain and Itachi. And with Kisame's motto being survival of the fittest and MO being taking out the weakest links, it’s fascinating to see him end up as one of the most well connected members of the Akatsuki. And since the top three never openly get to clash, technically speaking, he stays loyal to all of them. He's; 

- Working broadly for Pain, Akatsuki's open leader, who wants to create peace through traumatising the world through a cycle of war

- Working secretly for Obito, Akatsuki's real leader (and by proxy, Madara and Zetsu, Akatsuki's real-real leaders), who wants to create peace through trapping the world in a dream realm

- Working day-to-day for/with Itachi, the Akatsuki's biggest name, most powerful field member, and a secret double agent, who wants to create peace through becoming the most powerful shinobi that's ever lived,  and through using that power 'as much as he wants', 'lead the world to subjugation'

So either Kisame is the ninja equivalent of the minions, or the dojutsu wielding top three of the Akatsuki all looked to him and went 'yup, he's Henchman Shaped'

God I'm thinking about intense kind of "what the actual fuck man" resurrection where the other party WANTS to be resurrected. Where they're fucking terrified of death and don't want to die! Where they aren't self sacrificial and maybe are a little selfish!! They don't want to die! They want to live! They WANT the other to come save them! They aren't disgusted or horrified by what the other has become to save them. Their response is "You'd do that for me?" You guys don't understand it makes me lose my mind every time. When the defying the laws of death is mutual!! When the!!! When they!!! Do you see it. Hello.
