LC s2e8 thoughts

hmmm... did LG/CXS try to stop the twin (unaware of how their power works? / being reckless), or was getting taken intended by....... whoever had agency in this situation?

Not to open the LC time travel logic can of worms AGAIN but I wonder if LC will deal with the implications of closed loops (which directly contradict LG's power which implies agency) and the agency of those who are possessed in that timeline. And if so, where do the things LG sees come from? In this case, was there even an "original" way this happened? If LG checks the photo he took, what does he see? I just wanna know. for scientific reasons......

^ me rn

All that aside...... UGH CXS being like "so, if I don't dive, will i be taken instead?". THEY ARE SO MUTUAL PROTECC HNGG!!!

and how him doing the window break at the end had all this dramatic energy because of that. he's deciding to put LG in danger, because he trusts that LG was leaving him this path and that his mantra of "let it be" (one might say LET IT UNFOLD) would ring true. UGH i'm so normal about this.

I do wonder if we're on track for an actual death? And if so, what will that mean for CXS' decision to go through with this dive (if he does so till the end).

AND if that will finally play back into the OP shots and ep1 flashes from LG.

Some shorter thoughts:

QJ being disgusted at LG and closing the door was SO funny

so. were the trans colors on the LTC jacket intentional then- lmao (* this scenario is not what being trans is of course but I think it's funny)

the QL and CXS flashback was really charming, i just love that they are so platonic/familial 🤧🤧

QL getting the scene with LTX was really sweet, generally.

I'm just so lost on the entire twin plot rn, why was she there? when did she go missing? can't have been too long or did she get by on the street?? many questions……. (I'm slow and need a rewatch)

they stuck to the normal eyes for LG during the first iteration. good- this proves that ep6 was purely for cliffhanger and I will continue to be unreasonably hateful of it :)

I'm confused on why LTC wants to know how LG knew of the time and location?? like... they know time travel is involved. and clearly they got the wrong guy- do they not know of possession? don't understand closed loops??? WHO KNOWS. I guess he did technically know SOMETHING was going down so maybe that's still a point of suspicion.

LTC is so funny to me in the scene where he questions LG. clearly they want CXS to rewrite the past, so they know time travel is involved but then they also go "HOW'D YOU KNOW ABOUT THE TIME AND PLACE OF OUR PLAN??"

LIKE DUDE OBVIOUSLY IT'S TIME TRAVEL.

thinking about CXS' doubts to go through with the dive... would he feel LG's motivation to keep him safe?

there might have not been "original feelings" to feel here (depending on what approach LC takes with agency in closed loops / how they start) BUT I JUST. HNG

I love them so much, idk what to DO WITH THESE FEELINGS.

My brain won't let me draw them!! I have so much "HDSHDHJSJADS" inside my heart and I cannot let it out......
