I LOVE that Angela and Nyla were just waiting for them to open the elevator door. They knew they were in there. And for half a second it was almost like two teenagers getting caught making out by their parents.

Cynthia’s coming out scene was so heart wrenching, and so beautiful.

First and foremost, I love that it was done non-verbally. As a neurodivergent viewer who sees how neurodivergent Cynthia is, it made the scene that much more impactful. That she was feeling so many things and thinking so many things that all there was to do was shut down. I felt every emotion with her and Ari did an absolutely incredible job portraying those feelings. Not even to mention how Nancy did not assume Cynthia was ignoring her or being rude for a second and completely understood what Cynthia wanted to say.

When Nancy asks what’s wrong, Cynthia says she doesn’t want to talk about it. Nancy, being Nancy, keeps pushing, and starts asking more specific questions. When Nancy mentions Cynthia’s mom, that’s the moment she truly shuts down— which leads to a whole other concept— but easily establishes that Nancy and Cynthia have a trust that has been built that we the audience, haven’t seen.

Nancy tells Cynthia “You can tell me anything” and we can immediately see Cynthia’s thoughts, “not this.” as she shakes her head with so much pain and fear. She wants to trust Nancy so badly, but she’s not allowed to. Nancy assumes “You don’t want to talk about it” and Cynthia shakes her head, but Nancy knows this isn’t a no, she knows “You can’t talk about it.” Which hurts Cynthia even more because Nancy knows her so well but she’s so afraid of admitting to this part of her.

And then Nancy suggests writing instead of talking. Once again, from a neurodivergent standpoint, this was so important to me. But watching as Cynthia slides the paper to Nancy, but not loosening her grip in a desperate attempt to cherish these moments before her best friend turns on her and she loses the last thing she has. But Nancy reads it. The silence is long, the pencil scratching on the paper is taunting Cynthia. And Nancy slides it back. Cynthia doesn’t hesitate in reaching for it and with one glance, it finally all hits her.

The fear, the anger, the despair, the pain, the relief.

It’s so much to bear and suddenly, she doesn’t have to bear it alone. Because Someone accepts her. Someone has proved there is no circumstance in which Cynthia will ever go unloved by them. And in that moment, they are safe to feel it all.

He called me his son. Yeah, baby. He sure did.

I am still so impressed and happy with how they handled Ed and Stede's reunion. I think it was my top concern before s2 aired and it still just. delights me to even think about it.

The thing is, with how the last season ended with such heartbreak and Ed started this season in such a terrible place, it would have been so easy to give us an angsty reunion. Even though I didn't want that, I wouldn't have blamed them for it. I was mentally preparing myself for a lot of shouting and tossing blame back and forth, and for both of them to say things they didn't mean that we'd have to spend all season unpacking.

And they just avoided that altogether. Instead, we got one of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen in my life, where queer love provides the hope Ed needed to cling to life. The focus is on their love, not on their mistakes.

Sure, Ed was upset when he woke up, and they had a lot of things to talk through, but they actually talked through it like adults. It took all of one episode for Ed and Stede to get back on good footing with each other because they were allowed to discuss it in a mature way while still allowing us to save bigger overarching issues for later in the season, and it was so obvious they just have fun with each other and enjoy being near each other.

And the reunion scene itself? Holy shit. I don't think I'll ever get over it. This Woman's Work, mermaid Stede...the way they cling to each other's hands. It's so gentle and hopeful and sweet. It was just perfect. The writers know exactly what they're doing with Ed and Stede.

Look at this and hear me out for a sec.

That poor girl!! She attended the party. She dressed up for the party. she sat down kinda next to Don. She probably had her eye on Don the entire night and even after Bobby tries to push him, he still doesn’t ask her to dance. Like you don’t understand this really bothers me! And it’s not like Don didn’t have his eye on her too, he did! But he did nothing about it!

I love you, Don but you deserved to be dragged up to that piano.

Saint asked, "May I give you advice...something I learned from being with Osiris."

Crow nodded.

Saint-14 wandered quietly to Cal's bedside. "Sometimes..." the bed creaked as the titan lowered himself next to Calgrach's side, "...it helps to talk."

The hunter watched Saint curiously. He spoke softly, "He can't hear me."

Saint-14's words felt firm but kind, "It is your presence that he can feel. Your light he knows. You do not need words for that."

(love your art btw!!!)

the background piano music ends abruptly on a discordant note when hamlet says his father had died in the past two hours, which is when the idea gets put forward that his own perception of time/events might not be totally reliable

[introspectivememories]

everybody gets on shouto's case for being arrogant before the sports festival but like was he wrong to be arrogant???? if i was trained since 5 and then i enrolled in a school for hero hopefuls who have just started training their quirk, their body, and their minds for the job, god i'd be so fucking arrogant too. everything his peers are learning, shouto already knows!! flying spin kick? boo, boring!! he learned that at six. incorporating your quirk into your fighting? lame, yawn! he's been doing that his whole life. fighting quirkless? his father may be a piece of shit but endeavor is nothing if not thorough.

I gotta be honest, I know Palpatine is literally the epitome of evil and all, but I do love when the man shows up in the most dramatic ways possible at the last possible second with the explicit purpose of fucking up everybody's day and then he does so, with a chorus of opera singers backing him up.

A lot of people had thought that that was improvised. That give a cookie get a cookie. Get a cookie give a cookie... That that was improvised. But it wasn't. It was written. Just the cross section of you know great directing, great writing, and great acting. -Zooey

...I remember Jake like actually like real tears. Like getting emotional in that moment... -Eric Appel

Commited. -Zooey

If chapter 10 is only a prelude to the agonies coming in chapter 11, I fear that none of us are prepared /vpos

We're in like, the final tailspin of the "it gets worst before it gets better" aspect of this story tbh, so the next few chapters are gonna have a LOT of rapid downward spiraling before we hit the proper recovery stage. Yall better hold onto ur hats tbh bc i have so much planned out for yall >:]
