i just love the idea of the stark kids making a comeback and being absolute monsters.

like house stark is basically fucking gone and the heirs are everywhere but winterfell. they have all had major personal growth and major trauma done to them so now they are so tired and will take zero shit.

also special shout out to nymeria you really are the backbone of the stark PR team really selling the ominous stark comeback and giving westeros a taste of what the starks are gonna do.

the stark kids are the reflection of war. the cold ugly truth is clear on their faces of what war does.

My take on the epilogue of LN 5

Spoilers until the prologue of LN 6!

So I have been thinking about the choking scene at the end of volume 5 of TAD, as it has been bothering me a lot, since it seemed too OOC for Jinshi, at least in my opinion. I mean, sure, he does have some borderline toxic tendencies, but that was a bit too much, even for him. I have tried to think of an explanation that would fit him, but all of my theories didn't quite fit in with the story and the characters. That is, until another user pointed out how frustrating it is that Maomao sees herself as completely expendable and is even convinced that Jinshi would kill her, if he saw fit. We (and Jinshi) are aware of that ever since the time she requested to be killed with poison. Generally, this is part of her apathy towards her own life, as she always goes with the flow and tries not to stand out too much. A core part of her character, and yet one that frustrates Jinshi more than anything.

To explain what I mean, it has always appeared to me that Jinshi wants Maomao to make her own choices and, basically, take charge of her life. For example, after the incident with Fengming, he let Maomao go, because he thought that was what she wanted, and he wanted to respect her wish. The same goes for the time he refused to let Lakan visit her, as his name made her visibly upset. Jinshi does obviously care for what she wants.

On the other hand, her passiveness upsets him. The fact that she sees so little value in her life and assumes he does as well angered him a lot during her request to be executed with poison. Her lack of any (!) reaction to his advances later in the novels also upsets him in the same way. So I have been thinking, what if the choking was him trying to see how much he has to push her for her to retaliate, to try and fight for her own life, which she sees as so expendable. A reminder, but Jinshi also said he didn't want her to poison herself for her experiments. Maybe he was hoping that she would push him away and finally understand that she indeed has a choice regarding how her life and her relationship with him goes. Of course, Maomao being Maomao interprets this as some sort of punishment. And maybe she is right, we never get to see much about Jinshi's thought process during this particular scene. Obviously, it was wrong, and I am not excusing him, however he himself obviously does not know how to express himself or his emotions correctly, and thus his actions gain a possessive, even scary twist. And this is also how I would classify the choking: a twisted attempt to push her to actively participate in their relationship. To me, it definitely sounds more likely than a petty "punishment" out of jealousy. At least that is what makes sense to me and what I want to believe for the sake of him being one of my favourite characters (yeah, I might be biased).

To reiterate, he was probably trying to show her what could happen if she continued letting people decide for her. If we think about it, even her dance with Rikuson was not something she actively wanted to participate in. Maomao's passive behaviour might be alright for a commoner servant (and she loves to see herself as just that), however at this point of the story she is seen by everyone else as part of noble society and feigning ignorance the way she does it is extremely dangerous for a noble. Granted, Jinshi should have tried telling her with words and not violence, but she is also notorious for not listening to people, especially when she doesn't like the topic, so I can see why he might have thought this was the only way.

Anyways, thanks for reading, if you made it that far, and do let me know if all that makes sense to you.

Honestly if it doesn't happen by this year, then maybe next year some writer at DC is gonna force them to pull the trigger and have Steph and Cass kiss.

Way too many things that are leading them in that direction, lol.

Ok listen up fellow insane girlies (gn) because I’ve had a vision (it’s two am) :

Mobius’ dead wife was a loki variant (yes yes nothing new I saw that take somewhere already)

However

Dead wife was a loki variant and Mobius is a Sigyn variant

What’s my evidence you ask? None whatsoever I just think it would slap severely. Mobius being the archetype of loyalty and devotion? Incredible! Man saw Loki in distress once, his memories were wiped and he still became obsessed with Loki variants, he met our Loki and decided that they Will be attached at the hip from now on. He would hold that goddamn bowl over Loki’s face for an eternity and you know it

*Shaking like a rapid dog* Nonononono cuz listen, V AND JOHNNY WOULDN'T MEET THEY WOULDN'T MEET IF NOT VS DEATH

Sosososo it's tragic, ofc it is, but it's tragic in "it will never go any other way" tragic

It was always supposed to be like that, they technically shouldn't have met at all, but they got cursed by meeting just to die, they got cursed by loving just to die.

They never could've walked out of it alive, they were doomed from the start till the end,

THEY WERE DEAD FROM THE BEGINNING!! WHY DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CHANGE IT IN ANY WAY???

Because that's all you are, even if you can influence it, you can never make it right - there's no right to make

But which life would be worse, to meet and love to death or never meet to begin with?? You are doomed not because it's the way things have to go, but because to meet someone like that you have to let the things go that way.

And how could you not want to meet him, how could you not want to go trough it all again when it ended up being worth it.

My friends got this book for me for Christmas called the The Language of Flowers. I was reading it came came across this. Nightshade I literally almost through the book. I then read this. And had forgotten that it was belladonna that Juliet took which in small amounts can make you appear dead. Also Nightshade means truth. I might be reaching but with her chemistry of shapeshifting. Plus Gwen wants to come back and Jenna adores her. I think we have not seen the last of Larissa Weems.
