#crow is talking

[crows-talking-place]

The reason it hurt Lizzie so much to see Jay that first time on Joaldo wasn't just because Jay reminded her so much of Ava.

It was because because Jay was, of all things, a pirate.

It was because Jay was living proof that Lizzie had failed. That there was a way Ava and her could have been together, succeeded together, on the same side.

If she had just tried harder, finally convinced Ava to leave the navy for good, they could have been together. Ava would still be alive.

To Lizzie, Jay is an afterimage, a reflection of what Ava could have been.

A reminder forever following her, close to the one person from Lizzie's past she could never bring herself to abandon, forcing her way into Lizzie's life, forever a reminder to Lizzie that she failed, she failed, she failed-

Jay is Ava's ghost, and Lizzie is being haunted

I'm not an expert, I know nothing about ornithology or biology or zoology or wildlife science or animal behaviours or animal intelligence, but sometimes I think about the fact that birdwatchers in Toronto observed a raven learn how to mimic crow calls, make a nest with a crow and raise a pair of crow-raven hybrids the birdwatchers referred to as cravens and I just think. That's gotta be love, baby.

They're Not Talking

Happy Season 3, friendos.

underdiscussed benefit of auditory processing issues is that I’m basically immune to catcalling because I fully. do not understand a single word of what people are saying. half the time I barely realise it’s me they’re talking to because it‘s not like I can figure it out based on content and context clues. there’s just Some Guys Yelling on the other side of the street, and it barely occurs to me to feel addressed because I am, at any given time, too busy thinking about the menacing duality of rhododendrons

Listen I know we make fun of Kaz for being absolutely awful at flirting with Inej but LOOK AT THIS!!

Literally most underrated Kanej moment!! I have not seen a single person talk about it and it makes me insane !! LIKE HELLO?? What happened to his rizz why did it just evaporate

goodbye goodbye goodbye you were bigger than the whole sky 😭😭😭

[incorrect-soc]

Y'all saying they fully erased Inej's trauma in s2 for the sake of Kaz's, as if the whole point of her hallucination in episode 6 wasn't her desire for someone to ask for consent before touching her-

(tw for canon gillion backstory/elders being horrible, tw derealisation)

I realised the other day that we actually have like zero idea how much physical trauma Gillion has been through???

In episode one, Charlie described Gillion as "weirdly pristine", having zero cuts, bruises or scars.

At first i was like "oh it's because hes sheltered" but then i relistened to Gil's trials in the pearl, where it confims he trained in simulations, which it is implied the elders controlled. And that opens up a WHOLE other fucked-up door.

How many injuries has gillion sustained in these simulations? How many times has he DIED?? How many times has he felt agonising pain, had the world fade to black, and woken up with nothing but mental scars??? He could have been tortured, over and over and over, and he'd just wake up like nothing had ever happened.

He speaks of the elder's training, he speaks of the elder's punishment.

There's no evidence.

you know what i think kids/teen books do 'fantasy romance/fantasy books' way better than any of the adult fantasy books booktok raves about. i try and read some of them and 90 percent of the time its just smut and abusive relationships disguised as 'dark romance'. then i read books like Keeper Of The Lost Cities, The School for Good and Evil, Percy Jackson, Land of Stories, the Nevermoor series, that kind of thing, and they are all actually so amazing because they have fleshed out characters with flaws and an engaging plotline instead of just badly written romance. and when they do have romance it's well written and about the people rather than the tropes.

Matthias: When I first met you, I did not like you. Kaz: I'm aware of that. Matthias: But then you and I had some time together. Kaz: Uh-huh? Matthias: It did not get better.

the REAL reason why luffy and zoro understand each other so well is because they are both autistic & their love language is parallel play. no matter what they are doing they are always in each others line of sight. zoro always naps close to where luffy is messing around with chopper and usopp. luffy sits close to where zoro is training when he’s fishing. while zoro is sharpening his swords, luffy sits right next to him, feeding some bug he picked up from the last island and decided to keep. while they don’t always talk to each other, they come to understand little cues that indicate their thoughts and emotions thanks to spending so much time close to one another.
