Lost time | Part 1 (here) | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Everyone makes mistakes, even if you are allegedly an immortal, all-seeing eye.

Sometimes, if you get really wasted with your boytoy situationship, you can make a mistake.

Sometimes you might try to destroy the evidence, but then think twice and instead decide you'll raise the mistake and give it all the love you never received.

But sometimes you might actually suck at that.

Sometimes you can lose contact with that mistake because you and your situationship were too busy fighting over trivial things, like portals and world domination, to pay attention to him. Oopsie!

And sometimes you can reunite with that mistake, almost 30 years later, to find that he is now a washed-up divorcee with an abandonment complex who can't keep a job, is struggling to pay rent in the state of California, and is father to two of your sworn enemies.

But if that happens to you, don't worry. It's totally normal. Happens to all of us!

It's fine.

I really liked the diasomnia finale as a whole but ngl I'm kinda disappointed that other aspects of it kinda felt rushed or just brushed aside. It can't just be me that thought there was a missed opportunity not to have a Malleus-Idia conversation or even Malleus-Yuu saying one word of direct acknowledgement to e/o at the end for closure, since the former have shared struggles with loss, and the latter interacted a fair amount during the (previous books and) start/had a relevant conversation that helped push Malleus into his overblot.

I know the previous OBers-current OBers in an arc don't always need to talk and just need to have parallels, but idk it would've been nice for Malleus and Idia specifically. And I guess you could read into the choice to make Yuu + Grim the other person besides Lilia that gets trapped by Malleus's thorns as he turns into a dragon as subtextually about that, since it wasn't really necessary for it to be like that. But it doesn't really hit as hard as just logically saying hi or something at the party. These aren't the only things that haven't gotten closure so far (like the Gloomurai-Musclered reveal) and the Book kinda just ended abruptly at the party, so I guess they're intentionally leaving some stuff for Book 8. It makes sense to center the ending of the Book completely on Diasomnia after they kinda got shafted during the dream-hopping portion, but I think they still could've found a way to have squeezed a talk with idia and yuu somewhere there

Yeah that's all I can't wait for Book 8😔 I'm glad I finally saw Malleus lose his marbles and cry out a lifetime worth of tears but please answer my ten million questions🙏

I think everyone’s subscribing to the “Helena Infiltration Theory” WAYY too quickly. I kinda feel like a lot of the oddities in the way she was acting could be chalked up to something else, and defaulting to “that’s not Helly” feels a lot like… I don’t know, like brushing off character flaws by saying, “No, [X] is possessed! That’s not actually them!”

I’d probably buy into it a bit more if she didn’t have that moment in the halls with Mark where she fervently said, “We’re not the same, actually. Us and the outies, we’re not.”

There are reasons why Helly would want to lie about her identity, and chief among them is the fact that she hates her outie—desperately wants to place distance between them, desperately wants to convince herself that the person she saw wasn’t her.

But there are compelling reasons for both angles, and I can’t say that I won’t be scanning future episodes for hints to either prove or disprove this, so… cheers, 🥂.

"Because I'm resigning as High Mage effective immediately. I also abdicate my birthright, effective immediately. I am no longer a prince of Katolis, and I am no longer my brother's heir." There was a tiny strain to his voice—to not be there for Ezran in that level would be hard, but—Callum's smile never faltered. "All I am is engaged to the woman I love."

Do you think you will ever check out Raincode? It's made by the same people who made DR but with a more focus on mystery. (It has the same vibes and stuff, I feel like you would like it a lot) another thing, the writing is so banger

Yes, I've already played Raincode!! Really enjoyed it, especially for the DR-like vibe and I actually made charms of the main cast:

I have sketches of Yomi and Yakou that I've been meaning to add to this set for ages but haven't been able to bring myself to refine them ;v; Makes me happy when people recognize the Raincode merch at cons tho! I'm really excited for Kodaka's new game too, I haven't played the demo yet!

Ok so in my quest of overanalysing every scene with Wei and Wing in it, I did eventually take this one under my microscope.

I like seeing how in sync Wei and Wing are. It's always so fun to see the twins bending in sync so much.

But this scene also gives us an interesting look into Kuvira's deteriorating psyche. We can see that due to the continuing of the protagas' resistance to her. She's growing mor erratic, aggresive and desperate.

So it's pretty interesting that this screen is immediately followed by the scene of Kuvira firing at the twins. Since we know that she has known them since she was at least 8 and for at least a time, referred to by Suyin as their sister. Now, this won't be the first time Kuvira had fired at someone from the family who adopted her and swverely injured them. Baatar and Opal both got shot at and passed out for a bit. However, when Kuvira fired both those shots, she was clearly targeting groups rather than them as individuals. And part of me does want to see this as a marker of Kuvira getting more and more desperate to win and more and more aggresive, a theme we see with her throughout the season.

I also love Suyin's expressions in this scene?

She looks so intense. And I'm not surprised, she's already seen two of her kids close to death and we know how much she loves her kids and how protective she is. I mean, she barely felt confident to let Opal move out less than 5 years ago and now her children are 0 to 4 against the Nukebot.

But she also looks super pissed. And while I know there was no love lost between them that took Su from wanting Kuvira stopped bacause Kuvira was a threat to "You're going to pay for what you've done".

Like I firmly believe that the comics not mentioning Opal and the twins also almost dying is just so it would be easier to redeem Kuvira and dowplay her rift with the rest of teh Beifong family. By presenting Su and Opal as semi unreasonable in their dislike of Kuvira it makes it easier to make Kuvira look better. Hence the focus on Baatar Jr being hurt by Kuvira because he was the only one of the four to semi deserve it.

And also this is like one of the Lin scenes I actually genuinely adore, because I think it really shows how much Lin actively cares not just for Su, but for her extended family.

I wish we had explored Lin's relationship with her niblijgs more, because we see that she at least has a protective side around teens and gets along with them in her own special little way. Probably because Lin herself is quite immature and oftem acts like a broody teen herself. And I think that seeing her bond with her niblings before she starts mending her relationship with Su and Toph would be a very natural progression for her.

Btw I absolutely adore how she just YOINKS them out of the air. She is holding two young men under her arms like they're kittens what an icon.

I especially like this scene becaus in my personal headcanons- the twins probably didn't like Lin that much? Like they're so fiercely loyal to Su and Opal that I don't think they'd take too kindly to Lin appearing out of nowhere, driving Opal to tears and then proceeding to physically attack Suyin.

But then again, Wei was the first to be swung across the cavern by Lin, something I assume would require quite a bit of trust in both Bolin (👀) and Lin.

I also think that the twins got knocked out by the blast here. Like we've seen that even being in the vicinity of the blast can render someone unconscious. And the twins are visibly sorta freefalling here. Despite the blast not having cut off that much of their metal wiring, they don't seem to be able to try and stop their falls, so they could very well be unconscious or dazed and concussed.

They also kinda just flop onto the ground and lie there after getting rescued and we don't see them for the rest of the episode so I assume they were taken out of commision somehow.

I also love how even though Suyin made that earth tent to protect them, Lin still seems to be shielding them with her body?

More aunt Lin content nickelodeon please

Also I realize that the answer is probably just reading enough period sources but as a linguist I really do need to pick Patrick O'Brian's brain about where in the world he got his different speech patterns from
