I’d rather die than confront a reality where swaymark are broken up

*deep breathes* Sooo, those last couple mins from the latest "Full Moon" ep... lets talk about that🍵🍵

Welp, here it is folks... the ep that finally gave us that hyped up "Asmodeon crystal" exchange teased at in the S2 Pt. 2 trailer. And... hooooo boi, I have formed so. many. thoughts. upon rewatching that scene a few times. Some that are... kiiiinda on the rant-y spectrum the more I lingered on 'em, so how bout I share them here lmao

Fair warning in advance, this maaaaay not be particularly "nice" to Stolas in these rambling thoughts, so if anyone out there's a big Stolas(+itz) fan... yall might wanna skip reading ahead- lol .w.;;

*claps*

Okay, so to start things off on a (semi?) positive note, the animation & lighting here is quite beautiful to look at. The glittery curtains, the shine in Blitz's eyes throughout his shifting emotions, even the shots of that one broken chandelier (which I thiiink might've been the same one him & Stolas played under as kids?) was a neat bit of symbolism ngl.

Props to Brandon Rogers as well for his voice-performance on Blitz here cause... gawd did it hit me in the heart how much hurt you feel from his yelling ;-;💔

Curious to see more of the use of Blitz's new Asmodeon crystal in future adventures (esp from that one shot in the trailer w/ him using the portal effects against the DHORK crew), it looks cool~ ✨👍

....ummmm, ok I think that about covers my positives atm. Onto the problems I have with this exchange:

Stolas... okay, you were this close to actually doing a good job ending the Full Moon deal. Admitting to how "wrong" the transaction part of their dynamic was, allowing Blitz more "freedom" via-the crystal (that could also help avoid any legal issues that the Grimoire gave), even wishing him good luck with his I.M.P. business as the night drew to a close... ...buuuuut then Stolas just had to muddle everything up by his whole "even tho you don't have to be with me, I want you with me if you want it~🥺" ...which honestly came off selfish to me than anything else?? Like, dude... if you really ARE regretful of how long you let this deal go for, and truly DO want to let Blitz go... you CAN'T throw in such sappy, lovey-dovey words on top of that?? Otherwise, how can one blame Blitz for getting as confused & flustered as he was throughout that convo... you've basically just sent even more mixed-messages in the grand scheme of things, my dude-🤦‍♀️

"I have wanted you for SO long, the fact that you couldn't believe that I might have these feelings about you, that your first instinct is that its always about sex..." ...Ummmmm Stolas... did you seriously forget HOW this whole deal of yall's started?? 🤨 Waaaay back in the initial-series pilot, to the first official ep, and pretty much the majority of Season 1:

As far as I checked, Blitz wasn't the one who kept making everything about sex... that. was all. YOU. 😒Heck, literally one of the first things you told Blitz upon reuniting as adults in "The Circus", was that you expected he wanted to "ravish" you-

-so like, get outta here with the whole pushing-the-perv-responsibility-bs onto Blitz... you ain't helping your case >>

Finally... like, it was already getting bad enough by the point of Blitz begging & pleading out of fear he'd lose his livelihood without the book, AND not being allowed space to breathe after getting further pushed away (and thus, more pissed off-)... but THEN on top of all this, Stolas just haaaaad to throw in this lil gem: "Blitz... I think so very highly of you. I didn't realize you think so low of me..." ...Stolas, with all due respect... stfu with that lousy, last-minute uwu-ing self-pity party crap😑Just because you TRIED to show more attentive care & concern post-"Ozzie's", outside of the typical bedroom stuff... that ain't gonna prove shit if you're not gonna be consistent with it. Where was that "high opinion" of Blitz during the two of you getting stuck in the sitcom set during "Seeing Stars", when Blitz was having that panic attack performing live, where all you ended up doing was... just hitting on him/praising his bedroom skills again?? 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Like... couldn't you have just, I dunno... TRY to actually cheer him up/comfort him like an actual friend, would? Encourage him on his jokes, "just be yourself", promising another way out of there on his own merit... literally, anything could've worked fine and it wouldn't have come off so skeezy imho >>;;

...*sighs* so, yeah... thats basically what I had to get off my chest regarding the ending of "Full Moon". Honestly, had the writers actually committed to Stolas cutting off Blitz (even if harsh), giving the crystal with no strings, then going about their separate ways afterwards, I would've been totally fine with the scene tbh. But all this... odd lowkey-blaming of Blitz thrown in, the sappy words, and Stolas not once actually-apologizing during all this (Like, literally I checked and the only utterance of "sorry" seemed to come from Blitz's end before he got kicked out... for what, I dunno- 🤷‍♀️). Sorry for the length btw, but hopefully that about covers my thoughts on the matter-

[unch4rted-territ0ry]

Do. Not. EVER. Separate. Them.

[barzyhughes]

i need to see the demko-sway goalie hug immediately

[sportykalez]

[wanderingblindly]

aaa user wanderingblindly a fellow ace? im grey-ace / ace-spec myself

theres something about some of the f1 drivers's lure that i am weak to. mostly its their teeth-gap smile (ahem sir lewis ahem lando), they just flash them and it does things™️ to my stomach. plus max's and charles squinty smiles and and and nvm

much love, anon 29. sending you hugs if thats on the table

YOU KNOW I JOKE ABOUT COLLECTING ASEXUALS BUT AT THIS POINT? IS IT A JOKE? IM NOT CERTAIN

but welcome to the party anon 29! Love all my ace spectrum darlings 💖💖

what’s so funny is that f1 drivers are in no way my type, traditionally. Well my type is very narrow and really I don’t… find most people interesting at all. But oh the SMILES and the CHEEKBONES of it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sibling Things #2

---

The Hold and Sway Hug

Sibling A and Sibling B have not seen each other for awhile. Maybe it was only for a short time, like one of the siblings went to a summer camp or went on a week long camping trip. Or maybe it's been longer with one of the siblings having been away at college or on tour in the military. Whatever the reason, the sibling's haven't seen each other for some time.

When Sibling A and Sibling B see each other, they're running at each other with large grins and delighted shouts of each others names. Sibling A opens their arms invitingly, waiting for Sibling B to throw themselves forwards so they can wrap themselves around each other. They're both grinning and giggling, eyes misting with unshed tears. Sibling B closes their eyes, resting their head against Sibling A's shoulder with a feeling of content, their heart singing with a sense of home and security as they fist their hands in the back of Sibling A's shirt.

Sibling A wraps their arms tightly around Sibling B, just delighted to have their sibling back in their arms. The joy spills over and they lift Sibling B off of the ground. The siblings sway from side to side, just basking in each others presence, happy to see other again.

There was some poll done among swifties on voting and I can't find it now, because after miss americana pulled a stunt to fight off the backlash, news are drowning in it and it's hard to search for that poll, so idk how much exactly, but something between 10%-20% swifties said that they're gonna vote on whoever Swift endorses no matter what this candidate says or represents.

Oh yikes 💀 I’m not going to form any strong opinion unless I can actually find a reliable source on this, but the fact that it’s actually believable is… not good lmao

[unch4rted-territ0ry]

*currently trying not to cry BC of the Ully trade to the Sens*

Hopefully both Ully and Sway continue the goalie hig traditon- but different teams?- *sobs*

[starscelly]

Top 5 goalie hugs

goalie on goalie And some skater on goalie nonsense. for the Variety!

i mean. tbh not otherwise special but its Gotta be the one i saw in person... sway and ully instantly diffused any sad i had abt the stars losing by doing Their Thing like 10 feet in front of me. life altering.

2. THE "you! stay!" HUG..... dont call dont text.... in shambles

3. just every time mush wraps his weird long limbs around a goalie and then whispers sweet nothings to them

4. every sway-ully jump hug but ESPECIALLY this jump hug for the double back of it all... if only they weren't medically told to stop....

5. prom dates ! high school sweethearts ! both having significant nights ! etc etc narratives

[deputyash]

Wyll's movements here are just so endearing!! 🥺🥰
