I don't know shit about the silmarillion or how accurate the rings of power show is to the Tolkien books in general but the choice that whoever made for Gandalf's backstory to be what it was in the show is so??? Incredibly on brand and so heartwarming? Like I too would be so profoundly fond and protective of hobbits if the first person that ever stood up for me in such a vulnerable state of my life was this teeny tiny big footed starry eyed brave hearted little person I too would have hope for the future of my entire world if I went through horrible hardships with some of the nicest most honorable people to grace this earth I too would get absolutely bing bang blasted with these plastered party animals and show up to every event with my magic fireworks the fact the Gandalf didn't give into his very clear grandfather instincts and stay in the shire full time and babysit everyone's little ones is a testament to how strong of a person he is

Thinking many many thoughts about how Jean was Riko's partner for a YEAR and was still rooming with Goon #3. Because that was how unwilling Riko was to let go of Kevin. And how that implies that Jean was placed as his partner both because of the practicality of Kevin being gone AND as a punishment for letting him go in the first place. Being partners with Jean could actually slow Riko down depending on how often he's hurt (because I don't think Riko was all that exempt from the rules to the point where his partner's performance would completely not matter) and he was still placed there. Riko was just THAT angry at him over Kevin's escape. And all the while he was keeping Kevin's side of room like an altar, even back when he didn't even think Kevin could PLAY, because of an injury he caused.

stan twins the canon cptsd brothers i will always think about all your unaddressed issues that would make perfect plot fuel for your spinoff
and also the whole 'stan getting that poem by bill via a website which contrasts with bill getting one from the axolotl via a website' foreshadowing thing
like idk i would love something like su future but like more optimistic, aka not an accumulated breakdown that has to be mostly resolved off screen at the end :/// but something thats being kinda addressed throughout? (although would love to see one of them turn into a monster thats always fun lol)
stan having severe issues from his dad and those years of being homeless that we keep on getting more info on but never really getting confronted on (the drifter catalogue and tijuana incident...), him being completely alone for like twenty years when running the shack before soos comes along to the point that 1998 is noted as his low point, and him not really learning about bill+what he did to ford until ages after he killed him if he ever did get the full context
while i think amnesia and everyone seeing him as a hero actually helped with stan's 'i'm a worse version of my brother' thing its still a lingering issue too and we now got him being insecure over his own hands
ford being immediately thrown from 'being tortured by bill' to 'being stuck in the multiverse and being chased by bounty hunters constantly', him fully expecting himself to die when destroying bill, and him only now being safe for the first time in 30 years ....relatively safe, he's still in constant danger because of course he is
idk in the end the series wants them to be happy and they deserve it, its why i wasn't too worried about the book being like 'ooh bill is back!! and the book is haunting ford' thing cos i knew they'll be ok

Lloyd but it’s just him calling his dad a centipede.
Lloyd was definitely one of those kids who loved insects. Even the gross and slimy ones.
Zane screamed in terror when he opened his arm hatch just to see a large, poisonous spider crawl out. He forgot he ain’t human.

Absolutely CRYING over the fact that Stolas is both gonna sleep with the guy he made out with like Versokia said
AND HE'LL PROBABLY REMEMBER THE DRUNK CONVERSATION HE HAS WITH BLITZO AT THE PARTY THE NEXT DAY
The amount of emotional conflict this bird-man is going to feel after the hangover is indescribable
I do not want to be near the ✨🔥COLLATERAL DAMAGE🔥✨ which is him realising that he messed up so bad that it will take another season for them to get over it

Does this mean Clan Wren is alive in your AU? And by "Clan Wren", I really mean Tristan, since I ship him with Ezra.
very very little of clan wren's alive, could be like 4 ppl tops who knows, but i think its unrealistic every single clanmember died. ON TRISTAN i've been flipflopping between yes and no since the show started. bc on the one hand all of sabine's family being dead works rlly well narratively, she's lost every mandalorian she loves and her whole culture and home planet and has some severe survivors guilt bc she should've been with them instead of her other (also half dead) family and she's dealing with it by being in her fleabag girlfailure era and trying to completely ignore the fact she's mandalorian at all. plus i don't want to disregard ALL of canon gotta keep some things.
on the other hand that's sad and also trizra

To use the word Hell was such a choice - like there was no need to use it - Tim could of just saud ‘who he is’ or some such.
But no he chose to use the word hell.
Hell as in heaven and hell. As in religion. As in we’ve been setting up an arc where Eddie has to reckon with his catholic faith (lapsed). That reckoning is a key part of who he is and his religion has always told him that gay = going to hell.
So Eddie figuring out who the hell he is means Eddie having to figure out what hell actually looks like to him and if that version of hell is better or worse than the version of hell Catholicism has created.

I know I was just talking about a foth timeloop BUT on the topic of foth reincarnation I think thee funniest option out there would be keith and Ewen reincarnated again and again and dying tragically etc HOWEVER lachlan is Also there and his divine punishment is he has to play matchmaker between his beloved brother and the Guy He Loathes and the reincarnation cycle only ends when he finally gets the two of them together ❤️
