DUET SPOILERS!
Did anyone else do the 3rd season quest for Duet yet? Cause holy hell. I was not expecting things to get that intense. Poor Celloist 😦
I hope they both died at the same time so they didn't have to watch their childhood friend (and maybe lover) die.
Also the appearance of spirits is VERY interesting timeline wise as someone who's only half caught up with the order of seasons. I was not expecting to see the abyss spirits. Kinda expected them to be "the last people standing" type deal at the end of the world. Considering their scavenger nature + the state of the abyss ruins.
I wonder if the shards raining down on aviary will be the catalyst as to why The Steward/Dusk Ember makes the journey towards eden. Watching two people die in front of an audience and having to flee creatures of darkness would certainly be a motive... poor baby

sorry for having the best ideas in the entire world but i'm still a little disappointed by the route taken re: sadness infiltrating hq in inside out 2. like yes i know the movie was going in a different direction and too much emphasis on sadness would have likely risked recycling material from the first one, but the visual of her having more screen time with anxiety... potentially even being convinced into a collaboration, rather than just being shoved into a bucket and ignored...
like. i'm just thinking about how anxiety already approaches sadness in canon– with this (semi condescending but shh) understanding, clambering next to her and acknowledging that 'i know riley sneaking around feels wrong' before gently extracting ennui's tablet from her grasp– and now i'm just envisioning an anxiety who stays a little truer to this faux 'understanding' technique, who keeps a little closer to her manipulative roots (which we already know she has, thanks to her whole apology scene with val). who maybe notes the fraught relationship between joy and sadness, and what does sadness mean how does she know that? when anxiety said she was such a big fan of joy sadness didn't think she only meant joy, right? no, anxiety has been watching them all for a while now. and joy– yes, okay, joy had to go. joy is outdated, joy is working on an obsolete blueprint for riley's success. but sadness? anxiety always thought she had more... long-term potential. what potential? well, can't sadness tell? by seeing the worst of the world, all the things riley has to be upset about, riley can also be inspired to rise above it, and work even harder so it doesn't happen to her! and sadness also provides catharsis breaks, moments where riley can reflect on where she can do and be better than before. with anxiety and envy's help sadness can finally have a true seat at the console. doesn't she want that? and joy– sure, the two of them might be doing better lately. but she still only indulges sadness, she still sent her on this scapegoated mission in the first place. she's still only approaching sadness either when she has to or when she can get something out of her, isn't she? well, it wouldn't be like that, with anxiety. or with any of them! embarrassment already likes her, see? he's already sticking up for her, and he barely even knows her. they could all be that, for sadness. she could finally belong.
i'm just envisioning a sadness who doesn't get the tablet taken away from her, but rather ends up slowly handing it over. after all, negative emotions have to stick together, right?
