#but I can dream can’t I?

[saintlesbian]

okay so we all see the pieces lining up for ELQ to cave in on itself yea? stocks tanking due to valentin faking his death, insider trading charges on the horizon, the Qs about to oust valentin, etc. personally I’m glad they’re bringing the insider trading charges back since. oh my god I’ve been rooting for a Carly Faces Consequences era for months now.

I think though, while nina is contemplating reporting Crew to the SEC, she shouldn’t be the one to report them herself. this would once again antagonize her against the rest of the bensons/quartermaines, and the only way for Nina to reach Willow involves playing nice with the rest of her family as well, since Carly is about to be willow’s mother in law. no, it would be smarter to place this information in the hands of someone who can use it more decisively, I.e. valentin. If the Qs try to push him out of ELQ then he can weaponize the insider trading info against the rest of them, either to keep his shares or to go full scorched earth and tank ELQs reputation. nina and valentin are still on good terms, so if she gives valentin the info then he gets to be the one to make the call to the SEC, all while nina keeps her own hands clean and has some plausible deniability in the situation…

Also have another “first words spoken to you are on your skin” soulmate AU idea where Kara is a journalist assigned to shadow the controversial CEO of L-Corp for the day. It’s a big deal for her to get this assignment, so of course she trips the second she’s near the other woman and tries awkwardly to redeem herself.

The CEO stares at her almost in shock, and then says nothing. At all. Ever, for the entire day.

Kara spends hours following Lena Luthor around trying to fill the silence, but no amount of questions get her to talk. Lena almost seems to be running away at some points - like she’s trying to lose her? - and the few times she’s managed to catch her actually talking to someone she goes silent the second she sees Kara.

She asks around if Miss Luthor is usually like this and everyone looks at her like she’s crazy. Apparently she’s the only one who gets the silent treatment. By the end of her first day shadowing she’s walking away with half a page of observations and not a single quote. Miss Grant is going to kill her.

But that’s okay. It’s fine, this isn’t over. She has four days of shadowing ahead of her and she’ll be damned if she doesn’t finish this with a quote from the woman herself. It’s only a matter of time.

Wildest dreams wishes for Good Omens Season 3 which will probably not come true but I can still hope hey!

Number 16.

How I desperately want them to defiantly hold hands when facing down the combined hoards of heaven and hell in the final act of season 3.

Think about it. Season 1 we have this image:

Then season 2 we get this image:

Something is always between them. Which means there’s a good possibility the next step is nothing gets between them for the final act.

So season 3, I want to see them standing side by side and determinedly grab each others hand, Aziraphale clutching a flaming sword with his other and Crowley holding his Bentley crank in his other, facing down the Metatron and whoever else is there trying to bring about the second coming.

"- but with whom can you sit in water?"

and who can hop in the bath with you to make a show of not caring about your tattoos, and how can you not find it hard to hide your disdain at the attempt.

because either this is a trap you have blindly walked into again . . . or he really does love you and could have loved you all this time. and despite all that-

you cannot turn from the path that you are on.

The thing no one ever considers while writing up character analyses about Merlin is that. he must have been sooooooo sleepy.

A better quality look at some of NiGHTS’ acrobatics in JoD (this shows 10 of their 12 tricks— no matter what I did I could only get these 10 to occur, and the file names don’t indicate what each move should look like or how to do it 😔)

GUYS. I HAVE A THEORY. IT’S SUCH A GOOD THEORY. ACTUALLY IT’S THE BEST. Actually I’m just gonna go ahead and call this canon. I’m staking my entire identity on it.

So, I was gonna do an in depth art post bouncing off this excellent bit of research. I was expecting some thematic hints a la Hannibal and much fun to be had.

I decided to start with this:

Francis Bacon’s Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion, which hangs on the wall in the Dubai apartment.

Let’s sidestep the Christian connotations of the crucifixion* IMO the Christ bit is misdirection (mostly. We’ll come back to that)

Armand: Witnesses to Christ’s agony. Mr Bacon also referred to these as the Three Furies.

Who are they? The Furies/Erinyes are Ancient Greek Goddesses of vengeance. "The Erinyes, that under earth take vengeance on men, whosoever hath sworn a false oath" ... They are traditionally depicted as … preoccupied with avenging patricide and matricide by hunting down and killing violent criminals ... Their task is to hear complaints brought by mortals against the insolence of the young to the aged, of children to parents, of hosts to guests.” (wiki)

Kinda on point for a vampire that tried to kill his maker, no? Or for a vampire that’s abusing the guests in his home? Or an old man shit-talking two much older vamps. (lol jk not you Danny boy, you trash them all you want bb).

Armand: We’ve received an aggressive offer for the Bacon triptych.

Louis: Oh? I didn’t know we’d made it available.

Armand: It’s a new name, so I’ll have to run due diligence.

Hmm, who could possibly be being setup to enter late season under cover as some innocuous buyer? Who would Armand let into his theatre home in order to wreck it? Who’s presence/interest/existence would he keep from Louis? Who better to complete Bacon's intention and provide the crucified final figure of the set, but...

YES! Our favourite victim of patricide. The ultimate Daddy Vampire. Lestat de fucking Lioncourt.

Guys there’s a reason I’ve been calling him White Vampire Jesus and it’s not (just) because I find myself hilarious.

Real Rashid: The lawyer for the buyer is ready for the teleconference.

Not a massive deal, rich people make lawyers do things for them. But so do VAMPIRES WHO DON’T WANT TO BE IDENTIFIED.

But yeah, lets’ get into that phone call. Mr Philips, the lawyer, is introduced to Mr du Lac (like, in case anyone was wondering how Lestat knew it was Louis who owned it, just fucking use your real name Louis, sure.) The buyer wants it for her husband (GUYS. HE WANTS IT FOR LOUIS).

This is episode 2.03 and, guys, Lestat is EVERYWHERE in this episode. We get Armand opening up, but not about his full past, just about his past with Lestat.

Dreamstat dogs Louis’s footsteps

Louis admits to Armand that Lestat was his maker in this episode.

And the scene directly before the lawyer calls?

Louis and Claudia are talking about Lestat, it moves on to Bruce, but it starts with Lestat.

We could also talk about how, this season, as the focus has moved away from Loustat to Loumand, the action has moved away from the main room with the Triptych, to the tree room and the dining room.

Lets start with the tree room, where Armand (the clinging vine) reaches, but never touches Louis (the tree).

"For woman is a branching tree, and man a clinging vine. And from your branches carelessly, he’ll take what he can find."

(Let no man steal your thyme, trad)

Too much? Then how about the dining room of equally symbolic paintings. (and, side note. Paintings have been IT this season. This is the Armand season, the Amadeo season, the Louis photographer season, the breaking into museums to look at or steal art season. If S1 was music, S2 is art).

The dining room where we find the Ron Bechet, Transformation (A TREE AND VINES FFS), representing Louis (or Loumand) and the (stolen - can we take a moment to appreciate the hilarity that is Louis and Armand dressing up as police officers to carry out one of the biggest art heists in recent history?) Rembrandt, Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee representing Daniel (Fear and Faith).

You can see them more clearly in the S1 scene where Dan and Louis are at either end of the table, each before their own painting.

But also in S2 in combo with the Marius christ-and-demons, representing Armand (or representing Armius?? Lol do they have a ship name? kill me now). I find it very interesting how Armand is sometimes framed with Dan's painting behind him and at other times with Louis', almost like he's being pulled between the two.

Anyway. Point is the GIANT RED ORANGE LESTAT CHRIST SYMBOLISM is suspiciously out of frame this season.

See the difference in framing here in Season 1: (note, this is DanLou first meeting. It's BEEN THERE FROM THE BEGINNING)

And this itty bitty corner shot in Season 2:

And when does the triptych come back into frame? Oh just DIRECTLY AFTER THIS BIT OMFG:

Me too, Dan. Me too.

The triptych has been on the wall from the start of the show. Looming over everything, haunting the narrative, like a giant bleeding meta signpost.

I know the fandom generally agrees on that, if Loid and Yor had a biological child, they would be male. But I am a firm believer in the idea that they have a girl for two reasons

Loid is a girl dad through and through

i just want him to be able to call them “his girls”

also if they had a girl I’d want her name to be Sylvia because why not

THAT right there, ladies and gentlemen, is a LOVE CONFESSION

Ok, hear me out. Rocky Horror Picture Show stage revival. David Tennant as Frankenfurter.

David! *grab David by lapels and forces him to stare into my eyes* David look at me, LOOK AT ME! You have one chance, ONE CHANCE, to literally kill every single person in this fandom. Don’t waste it!

*hears Michael Sheen slipping in Rocky costume*

ALSO! Where is the Good Omens Rocky Horror crossover fanart?! If it exists, point me in that direction. Please and thank you! (God damn I wish I could draw!)
