there's a scene in fool's assassin that i think about so much where fitz is telling bee how patience died and he says that she saw chivalry in her last moments and bee says that he probably came to get her and fitz wonders if molly would come to get him when he dies. but then at the end we do see fitz's last moments and the person on his mind is beloved. and all he wants in that moment is for beloved to go with him. like can anyone understand me .

I have joked before that Stormblood feels like the writers thought they maybe went too hard on Major Character Death™️in Heavensward and so almost nobody gets to die. But looking back over the arc of the Scions as a whole, I think Stormblood through Endwalker are really the Scions learning (if slowly) that Heroic Sacrifice is not always the answer, and also growing closer to one another as people as a result. Especially for those of us who didn't play 1.0, I think it's so easy to forget sometimes that these characters just survived an apocalypse--and lost the guy who was the glue holding them all together. I think a lot of what feels like the Scions being cavalier with their comrade's life in ARR is the fact that they are all waiting, consciously or unconsciously, for their own Louisoix Moment, and they're so deep in that mindset that they probably don't even realize how it feels to an outsider, that understanding that they're all ready to die. Because when that moment does come, they all take it. Moenbryda takes it, Minfilia takes it, Papalymo takes it... and the rest are left to pick up the pieces.

And what do they do with those pieces? After Moenbryda's death Urianger goes on a very long arc where he starts mired in isolation and self-flagellation, but ultimately comes to see that turning to his friends for help is better than suffering alone. Alphinaud faces down the arrogance that made him so easy to manipulate and becomes better at working with others and not over and around them. Alisaie comes to terms with her grandfather's death and pushes those around her to see alternatives to sacrifice. Lyse decides to stop hiding, to live as herself, and to fight for what she believes in, ultimately becoming a leader in her newly-freed homeland. Thancred learns to better respect the agency of the people he loves while still acting as a protector. Y'shtola begins--slowly, and haltingly, but she does begin--to share her struggles with her friends instead of keeping everything to herself. G'raha, after years of secrecy and preparing to sacrifice himself, finds himself given a second chance and a new life to share with the people he loves. Estinien finds deeply meaningful friendships with people he would have once considered his enemy, and lets go of a life of solitude in favor of joining the Scions.

There's a reason the Scions don't really feel like a family in ARR. There's a reason that, to me, they do feel like one by Endwalker. Sometimes media will try to force a found family dynamic between a group of characters who don't even necessarily like each other very much; FFXIV lets the cracks in the Scions show early and then shatters them, then brings them back together in a long journey of reforging those bonds and making them stronger than they ever were.

I haven't seen anyone talk about the transformation symbolism in Episode 8 yet:

1) Haircut

You know when you get haircut and you feel like a brand new person? Significant Haircuts signify a change in character, and here, with Kazuki snipping each overgrown, neglected strand, Rei transforms into someone genuinely cared for. He didn't get that at home, so he didn't learn how to take care of himself. But him willingly enduring a haircut betrays his yearning for that care and affection. He could've insisted on keeping his hair, but for once he let himself be taken care of. He's turning - albeit passively - into someone who can trust.

2) Bath

One time Jesus made this guy take a bath in a river and he was forgiven of all his sins. I don't think that's exactly what Kazuki was going for, but baths - specifically the dunking of one's head - symbolize a rebirth. Rei initiated the first step of dipping from daddy's mansion, but then fell into such a deep depression and couldn't flourish in his newfound freedom. The trauma was still too fresh. So Kazuki sweeps in, dunks Rei's head into the water, and gives him a new start.

These two events cement the foundation of Rei becoming a self-sufficient person with the emotional and mental capacity for taking care of another human being. It's kinda wild that he doubts if he can change when he already has, in so many ways.

Will you hold my hand and listen to Megan’s allbum with me?

[joanna-lannister]

hmm, so i want to explore more of the King Jaime AU, but i'm torn on the choice of the gender of Jaime and Cersei's upcoming first baby. should i strictly follow the canon line and having them have a boy (Joffrey), or should i go wild and have them having a girl (Joanna)? i kinda like the idea of them having a female heir, tho i already lowkey explored it when i wrote them being prince and princess of the Westerlands. 🤔 so i want some opinions, that maybe will help me to decide what i should do.

i was thinking about that post comparing Jessica Rabbit as an asexual to Barbie and an asexual and then i thought of the Neil Gaiman post (was it a post?) about Crowley and Aziraphale being asexual sexless and then this happened.

anyways. thoughts?

sorry it took so long I meant to do this a week ago but my brain is full of rocks.

[Image ID a three sided venn diagram. the big circles show Margot Robbie's Barbie sitting in front of a mirror, Jessica and Roger Rabbit from the poster of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens standing back to back. Between Barbie and Jessica Rabbit it says "sexualised by society". Between Jessica Rabbit and Aziraphale and Crowley it says "Knows what sex is". Between Aziraphale and Crowley and Barbie it says "no reproductive system(?)". the center is the asexual flag. End ID]

Also i haven't seen the Barbie movie as of this edit so at least please tag your spoilers.
