If Magic Chooses-

So we know the magic in Prythian ties the land, Courts, and the High Lords and can be vaguely sentient (as with the Cauldron).

It's unclear how it chooses the High Lords but the magic seems to be deliberate and adheres faithfully to whoever it chooses. Even Amarantha couldn't fully access it despite all that she did - she could only prevent the Lords from using it against her.

So imagine if this was explored.

E.g: The time when Feyre and the IC stole the Book of Breathings from the Summer Court as guests - literally committing a crime worthy of a magical death sentence. This then left the Summer Court open to Hybern's invasion, further enabled by what Feyre did in the Spring Court.

This didn't just harm the High Lords. It harmed the Courts in a major way. The very land and the people living in there were devastated by it. And it must have caused mass turmoil that even the magic sensed.

So imagine because of this intricate connection to the land, the people and the High Lords - it caused Feyre's bond to the Spring and Summer magic to become hard to control or even the magic rejecting her.

The kernels of magic are technically still the High Lords'. They're not Feyre's magic but were gifted like handing her a scale off their essence. And it would make sense if the magic reacted to the state of the High Lords (and deeper the courts themselves) if they experienced deep, visceral emotions & damage thanks to Feyre.

Magic being fickle about who wields it would sort of suit the capriciousness of Faeries. It would also require Feyre to use her wits and sense to navigate situations instead of resorting to the Feysand tactics of Lie, Steal and Justify.

It would give actual consequences and gravity to her actions, and add depth to why her being a Made Fae is a big deal. She is now attached via these kernels of magic to the land in a way that she can't run from. Just as High Lords (even those reluctant like Tamlin are).

Just the plot potential and character development. And the internal conflict over actions that we never got.

modern family is all fun and games until you get to the scenes where you burst into tears because the once-vaguely homophobic dad now refers to his son's husband as family, and also the academically gifted daughter realizes that her dorky, clumsy dad was always really proud of her and just never surprised because he just assumed she could do anything, and also the eldest daughter who eloped comes crawling back to her parents' room and whispers that she still wants her parents to be present for her wedding, and also the anxious queer lawyer character admits that he was terrified that his husband would just leave him alone with their baby daughter, and also that the once-vaguely grouchy dad looks at his stepson and tells him that what makes a family is who sticks around, not who you're blood-related to and anyways what was i saying

what makes minedai even sadder is that we never rlly see daigo try to build a bond with anyone else like he did with mine it rlly shows how badly it effected him like yeah he reached out to shinada in y5 but that’s rlly it and he probably would wanna leave him alone after that and not involve him in any yakuza stuff so i don’t think they would’ve hung out or anything like that afterwards. All he rlly had were saejima and majima but they were more like babysitters than anything, wish we saw more of their dynamic tho like we did with majima and daigo in dead souls since that was fun and we were lowkey robbed but in canon he’s just as lonely as he was before majimas promise to kiryu. And mine is the only person he really had a meaningful relationship with romantic or not they were still really close and we don’t see that again with daigo ever (from what i recall after y3) ok sorry for rambling LMFAO

even with shinada, he reached out to him more so out of 'duty' and trying to make up for the misfortune that befell him because of yakuza than wanting to rekindle any kind of friendship they might have had in high school (though it sounds more like they were just acquaintances if shinada needing a second to remember who daigo was is anything), so yah i doubt they really had any kind of bond afterwards

dead souls really was the only time after Y3 where we got to see daigo be more sociable with someone, but its as you say majima and saejima are more like retainers than close friends

as much as Bad very much does care for the well being of all the eggs, as much as Leo of course cares for her tio, the fact remains that Roier is her closest family and caretaker right now, and he Does Not Trust Bad. not with the time of day, not with the location of Pepito’s room, certainly not with Leo. and it’s like, after everything that happened in Purgatory, it’s to be expected. it doesn’t matter how much Bad has cared for the eggs, it doesn’t matter how much we as the audience know he’d do everything in his power to keep any one of them safe - the fact remains that his actions have tarnished the trust he’s built with some of the other islanders. it remains to be seen how this’ll come into play with the rest of Red, as they’re still missing, but it’s super obvious with Roier.

I doubt Roier will be on tomorrow to take care of Leo, and I know Bad is planning on giving her cookies and taking care of her. and I’d bet money this’ll be another point of tension against Bad - yes, even though he’s watching out for Leo. I keep coming back around to actions having consequences, but it’s prevalent, and this is one of the many Bad is experiencing - a complete lack of faith and trust from the others because of his actions in Purgatory.

i just woke up so idk how coherent this'll even be but last night i practically fell asleep thinking abt the trend of dai being confronted by his youth and feeling out of place for it in one way or another. on one hand he definitely can recognize himself as still young and having lots of space still to grow, so he's more than willing to defer to and obey adults or seek guidance and lesson from them, but at the same time this is a kid with an extremely bizarre and intensely demanding upbringing. daisuke has been raised right at the cusp of death all the time. he's gotten nearly fatal injuries just from his training. within his more intimate circles, he's used to everyone constantly counting on him as 'the only one' instead of setting him aside. his father has been absent essentially up until recently, his mother absolutely adores him but is also the one overbearing him on the family destiny and his 'duty' as a phantom thief, and even his grandfather strictly emphasizes how daisuke, as the sole niwa child, was the only one that could do become dark. there's so much responsibility placed onto him all the time, which, again, lucifer thematic. child-king sized burdens that connect him immediately to dark's decision to betray the hikari and take responsibility for the artworks after the cultural revolution.

(long overdue edit of this post; i still stand by a majority of what i said about james and his characterization within his story but i think i could've worded it a lot better now that i'm fully antiquated with him/his whole deal and i've had a year to think about it.)

james is simultaneously neither good nor bad in full, and he's everywhere in between. his earnest attempts at kindness and care juxtaposed with the callousness and cruelty of his deed is on purpose, and both are fundamentally true. he murdered mary, the woman he loved most, and even in the haze of his repression of that act, he still tries to be halfway decent. he still tries to find her because he loves her, and when the truth is revealed to him, it shatters him all over again.

however you may feel about him as a person is yours to feel, and that's fine, but sh2 is all about the uncomfortable gray and dubious spots within the human conscience, how grief and guilt and trauma can warp an individual into somebody capable of taking the life of another, and how therein that act of violence can range from justifiable to horrific. it's about what you choose to do with that trauma—be it something that happened to you or something you yourself enacted—and whether you let it eat you whole or if you're willing to live with it, regardless of if you're forgiven, if you're "washed clean" of your sins.

Every year I’m disappointed at my family for inviting my parents to holiday events and every year about the end of January I block out that that happened for my own sanity, even this year that I’m planning to skip out on the holiday parties because they’re going to be there it still hurts that in their mind it’s not even really a decision to invite the people they have acknowledged abused me and in turn not have me be there or in previous years be there but having a little panic attack, because they will choose the path of least resistance to them over my comfort and safety

Okay not to be self-indulgent but I would die if Vincent called his significant other, his Galatea.

I love the idea of him calling you his muse, but Galatea scratches the possessiveness itch I have.

His Galatea.

The one who was made for him, who is perfect for him, everything he wanted.

Someone he can mold, and create, and guide, and that will love him back unconditionally.

His Galatea.

Click read more if you want a short summary of Galatea.

Galatea was an ivory statue crafted by king Pygmalion. He fell madly in love with his creation and in desperation, he prayed to the goddess Aphrodite for Galatea to become a real woman. In answer to his prayers, the goddess Aphrodite brought it to life and united the couple in marriage.

It was part of a much larger dream and I won’t bore anyone with the details but at one point Leon began to hunt me down like, literally. We had a car chase across a city and into a grocery store where I had to try to knock down all the aisles to try to lose him in the chaos and he still was right on my tail(the whole time btw it was slightly terrifying) until I swam into some submerged ancient temple where I finally lost him because I could breathe underwater whereas he could not.
