Sweet Mina. Baby girl. Sweet child. She’s everything. She’s perfect. She’s got a water monster in her. She’s a 12 year old girl. She’s my fav

[dumpster-fire-sapphic-failgirl]

Aabria: Will you stay to take care of Mi-

Gina: Nope. Seafoam. Dissolve into sea foam.

Aabria: I… are you sure?

Gina: Yup!

Aabria: O-okay

[15 min later]

Gina: I DIDNT KNOW LIVING WAS AN OPTION

Listen of course Elsie takes care of Mina but she is NOT her mom. Elsie just doesn’t have the right energy or authority to be that sort of presence in a murderous preteens life, she’s deeply caring but not maternal and neither of them want that sort of relationship. It’s much more of a Doc Brown and Marty Mcfly situation

[humanbeanisnotamused]

I love the murder child so much. she does not regret killing. she will kill again.

[adaineabernantsfrog]

im so in love with the circle of protection so far but I genuinely keep picturing a nineteen year old Mina hanging out with her circle but leaving being like “I have to go play with a beast before it vandalizes something” or “oops I promised I’d go help with an experiment” with no added context like it’s the most normal thing in the world

i mean yeah that’s exactly what happened everyone was super chill. I can picture Charlotte being curious once and going with her to see Elsie in an experiment!

CANDELA OBSCURA FINALE PREDICTIONS, EXCEPT I'VE LOST MOST IF NOT ALL HOPE

Cosmo Grimm : Dies. I'm almost certain. I want him to live and be a happy little old fellow but, I strongly doubt it.

Dr Elsie Roberts : Dies. I do not think our good doctor is escaping this. Now I did read a theory that the beast is what keeping her alive and grew super fond of it, therefore, I think she either gets separated from the beast and ends up dying or eventually turns, most likely hurts or even kills someone on the party and ends up killed herself.

Rajan Savarimuthu : I'm 50-50 because he's my favorite and I am probably delulu, as they say. For Raj, my mind is making up a lot of things, especially after that very slick We from Nosh in episode 2. Not to mention the welcome home. I believe Raj is either killed by Elsie or dies as a heroic / dramatic sacrifice. Though he is most likely dying, I want to have hope on two alternatives. Alternative one, he makes it out alive but is overtaken by the hive or alternative two he makes it out and his villain arc begins. I know it's probably not happening but I'm still manifesting alternative 3 that is Rajan Savarimuthu happy ending.

Oscar Grimm : I'm also very 50-50 when it comes to our favorite immortal father. He either cures himself and finally dies, which is probably a happy ending for him or survives despite everything and most likely ends up in jail with survivor's guilt. Like stated above, I hope there's an alternative 3 where him and Rajan get to be happy but, I doubt it.

Cordelia Glask : I'm kinda hopeful but at the same time I'm not, if that makes sense. I want to imagine she's the only one that has the most chances of getting out alive but there's this what if scenario in my head. What if everything goes sideways and she's killed during the assignment? OR what if something happens to Mina and she ends up giving her life to protect her?

And that's all folks! As you can see, I'm not super hopeful but this is candela after all! I'll come back to this in two days to see how accurate my predictions were 😭 Lemme know what you think!

sam

oh gina

liam just has that voice now

[elemental-plane]

wdym this isn't what happened

[elemental-plane]

gina saying that glask and mina's dynamic wasn't planned has been living in my head rent-free since i heard about it. like i know improv is such a big thing but i was so flabbergasted their dynamic KILLED ME and i think that just shows how insane this cast was

[elemental-plane]

thinking abt how tragic mina is. like literally think abt her for a second. she lost her entire family and made a desperate deal to be able to protect herself and what remains of her home. she figured there would be no one that would understand her. but then she met madam glask, a woman who was so similar to her and actually understood in a way other people could never. and then she lost her too ITS SO TRAGIC IM SO UPSET. mina i am your number one fan

[elemental-plane]

why are mina and madame glask THE "you have so much time / and i have nothing ahead of me" dynamic. i miss them so bad it's ridiculous GLASK WOULDVE BEEN SUCH A GOOD MOM TO HER :(

[math-rocks-and-lizard-bats]

I feel that little girl so so so much?? I’m crying?? So mad I went to bed last night but I’m all the way awake for this and it’s wrecking me. Aabria I’m so sad so so so sad you’re killing me quiddie. Quiddie you’re making me SOB on a Friday.

[math-rocks-and-lizard-bats]

Mina and Madame Glask are perfect and I’m crying
