the implications of these two 0.5 second shots from the bts has had me in a chokehold since I first saw em. I’m going insane. just??? look at them. standing on the porch of a abandoned house. romantic sunset. talking about their future, mayhaps? finally having A Conversation, perchance?

There's so many layers to Ygraine s2e8.

Uther was Arthur's mother's killer, Arthur's father but also Arthur's de facto mother after Ygraine's death.

Meeting Ygraine is the first and only time Arthur gets to see Uther for what he really is - a father and a murderer rather than his whole parental unit wrapped up in one person. For the first and only time, Arthur gets to know his actual origins - he is a creature made of magic. It's what runs through his blood, making him closer to any Druid child massacred on a raid than the knights that he led. It's the first (and arguably the only) time Arthur recognizes he can break away from Uther - and tries to.

Not with a pithy "I am not you, father" or an angry argument on morality but with the rage of the son of a murdered mother - an abused child finally physically and psychologically capable of inflicting violence on their abuser.

To be clear - that's unbelievable and terrifying for anyone with a moderately healthy relationship with their parents.

Merlin sees Arthur's attack on Uther through that lens.

He also sees Arthur as the man who'll evolve into what he thinks the Once and Future King should be - just, kind, merciful, egalitarian, always seeking peace over war, returner of magic.

When Merlin says he didn't stop Arthur for Uther, what he means is he did it for Arthur and the Arthur he is certain will one day exist. Merlin is also more comfortable with lying than being honest. His whole identity has become wrapped up in serving and protecting Arthur - "I was born to be your servant."

Using magic to stop Arthur, an obvious option, would go against both his instinct to lie, save his own life (and protect his identity - which can't risk the ego death that would come from not being Arthur's servant, protector, friend. His unwillingness to alter his relationship with Arthur or see him hurt means in s2e8 Merlin has to cut Arthur's growth off at its knees - change requires some form of suffering and Merlin loves Arthur enough to die for him but not enough to risk the suffering of living without him.

Honestly, I'm just waiting the Eddiesol relationship to be the breaking point for Chris and he goes off on Eddie about all his past relationships and how annoyed and tired he is of his current one:

Eddie: Chris, why are you so adamant on not getting to know Marisol?

Chris: Why are YOU so adamant on trying to find me a new mom?!

i do love canon amy & rory but god, does some part of me wish they really had gone with the idea of the doctor picking up a child as a companion (and then later, that child’s best friend with a huge crush on her.) with the rest of the season really not changing at all, except now it’s amelia pond with an angel in her head killing her and lost alone in the woods. it’s little rory who dies and is forgotten and becomes a toy soldier. if this is going to be a fairy tale, then let it be one. children have never been safe in fairy tales.

apologizing in advance for the person i will become when the next pjo show season comes out

[probablyaseamonster]

so... we all get the father vibes from Pentious, right? It's not just me?

Theres the "son?" Joke in the pilot which sounded a liiiittle too sincere, there's how he acts around his egg bois... and how that cringefail energy of his could easily be translated into embarrassing dad behavior...

So anyway what I'm saying is I still think Baxter could be his missing son-

Who are we to say that pre-war Ratchet wasn't living the literal plot of all going on 20 seasons of Grey's Anatomy? Roses, Thorns & All?

Tw

Twenty

wAIT THERES ☆TWENTY☆

Hold on i need to

Nineteen is close enough, goddamn.

Anyway yes

I'd kill for a pre-war / no war au with Ratchet as our main protagonist that's as dramatic as a medical drama

[singsweetmelodies]

i like lando norris - i actually, genuinely do - but it makes me hopping mad that he is now in the conversation to be a world champion

In every time loop Loki has to go to Chicago and convince Victor to come back to the TVA again to unlock the blast doors.

In every loop Loki tries to manipulate events - to get Victor there sooner, develop a better solution, keep Renslayer and Miss Minutes from interfering. He tries, and tries, and tries, but each time the radiation is still too strong and Victor spaghettifies, the Loom explodes and the loop starts again.

Each time Loki has to go to Victor and convince him to come back to the TVA knowing the risks, and each repeat it gets harder and harder to ask Victor. And sometimes when he does, Victor gets suspicious because it looks like Loki is hiding something.

Eventually Loki has to tell Victor about the time loop, the fact that they haven't been successful yet, and what that means for Victor.

Victor helps work through what went wrong in the past loops and tries to come up with an alternative that will work this time, but the only solution they can develop involves Victor still being out in the radiation for too long. He's pretty sure he'll be able to set off the throughput multiplier but it will take too long for him to get back to the airlock.

Despite this, he makes the choice to go out there and try to save the TVA and the multiverse. "Time to be brave", he says and he runs down the gantry. Inserts the multiplier, spins the unit around, hits the green button, turns and runs back towards the airlock. The radiation buffets him in his suit and as he gets closer to the door Loki can see that the suit is decaying and some patches seem to have nearly eroded away completely.

Victor slows as he gets to the airlock and limps through the door, which OB quickly closes. Loki rushes down to help Victor get the suit off, but Victor is sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall working at the catches on the helmet. Loki pauses, and then walks over to Victor and gently helps remove the helmet, placing on the floor beside them. Victor starts removing his gloves and it's clear that he won't last long. His skin is old and crinkled and seems to still be ageing, and his hair is white. He breathes with great effort and his hands are red and raw where the material on the gloves has worn through. Loki doesn't want to think about what else the suit is hiding.

They hear an excited whoop from upstairs, and Victor sighs, leaning his head back against the wall.

"It is a pity I did not get the opportunity to see more of this miraculous place", he says. "But perhaps that is fitting. For I am not him."

"BE A HERO / GIVE BLOOD" is reminding me a lot of "i'd get him to swap our places". how blue this shot is. blue being mike's colour. mike's heart arrow pointing at will/max. mike being the heart—the leader, the paladin, the protector—which pumps blood around the body. mike wanting to be a hero. mike always bringing lost party members back. the poster having a yellow background. will and lucas not looking at max's face while el is, because she was directly involved in max getting into this situation, and mike is, because he'll be directly involved in getting max out of this situation
