ever think about how in tnp bramble is suspicious of hawk until the /moment/ they visit tiger together? and then gets mad at squilf for expressing an opinion he used to agree with?
Actually! The moment Bramble stops being suspicious of Hawkfrost is when he's jealous of Squilf's magical telepathic bond to her sister. It's like spite. It fascinates me that you can read it as though Brambleclaw is being consumed by jealousy, trying to have everything that Squilf does, as though his "hatred" of her is coming from envy.

something something Orym being careful with Ashton and so keyed in to their pain on like, a physical level, even in Ashton's normal state when he's projecting an air of roughness and invulnerability, when he's angry and violent. "i'm not gonna let [Ash] go off alone." goading the Bari Mondolo when Ashton was right there and wanted to take the hit. always asking before touching them and doing so softly, even when Ashton says that they'd rather it be rough (but also massaging his hands; "it's good pain".) putting lavender in his lapel and cleaning his bloody nose, and Ashton's quiet, surprised, "thank you," when they realized what Orym had done. kind of crazy tbh

everybody knows this, this is nothing new, but it is always sooo insane to me that squirrelflight and leafpool were berated and shunned by their community for years and put on a literal hell trial for lying about the kits, but brambleclaw seemingly nearly participated in a plot to kill his leader (his former mentor and his girlfriend's dad) and got away with it completely scot free with no repercussions or suspicion or animosity directed at him for it afterwards. and his entire arc is about how he feels like people are suspicious towards him because of his dad. and nobody actually is suspicious of him. but he fulfills the suspicions anyways by working with his dad, because he feels insecure. and this could potentially be a genuinely interesting character arc if not for the fact that the books are fully convinced he can do no wrong ever and when it comes out that he was working with his dad nothing happens. but when his wife lies to protect her sister it is the worst thing ever in the world and his anger and emotional abuse towards her is completely justified by it. uuurrghhhhhhhhh

i don't know if i'll ever be over the greek tragedy shit of mat hearing that he's fated to stab rand, avoiding rand to protect him and in so doing making rand think that mat has abandoned him, then rolling up at a battle to save rand's life only to accidentally stab him just like the prophecy foretold. sophocles is shaking.

I just think if the Big Showdown in 15x19 included Dean, not only wearing the bloodied jacket but also placing his palm over Cas' handprint, as he told Chuck. "That's not who I am." We could've gotten some closure. Actually.

i destroyed the bond of friendship
and respect
between the only people left
who'd even look me in the eye
now I laugh and make a fortune
off the same ones that I tortured
and the world screams;
"Kiss me, Son of God"
