#the finals are still p good

[midnightkolrath]

Thinking about the DMC4 and DMC5 devil trigger concepts that had Dante's DT with a tail that didn't end up in the final product

In DMC5, Vergil properly got to win tail rights with his Sin Devil Trigger in his final design

Guess big brother is the only one who gets that right, lmao

Sparda didn't have one unless its hidden, so....either Sparda has one hidden in his back ala Cell from DBZ, eating the fruit and rebirthing gave Vergil an added kinder egg surprise mutation for his SDT or demon genetics are just funky. Obviously very likely the last one, but its funny to think about.

fionna's world being represented by a dandelion makes so much sense ... they're weeds. yet people make wishes through them, changing their whole meaning from something meant to be destroyed to something hopeful.

dandelions are also resilient and it makes sense that something associated with them would. you know. perservere despite the destruction caused by the scarab.

but ultimately i think what REALLY made me tear up over this is that dandelions are really boring plants. when you're a kid you blow on them and make your wish but they're not eyecatching or anything but still, fionna's final wish was for her old world to still exist as it was when she left it (> plain and simple. boring even).

like the moment she realized she would lose her friends, and that her friends might forget each other if the world got its magic back, she immediately decided she didn't want it and I think that ties back to the dandelion metaphor so well... like, do you really need magic to be real to find it everywhere? or can you turn something boring into something magical?

Read the snippet *cries*

That last writing with Tarrow is beautiful. In my mind was playing Farewell by Bernth and is was a struggle to not cry in public.

I just fell in love with Orion! I love his gentleness, how he just want to give comfort and just AHHHHHH!! That last paragraph just with the hope that Tarrow will see the family that still has is just gets me.

On the side note (and to laugh a little after that beautiful mini story), Crows still is a background character.

OOOOO hey i know that song!!! yeah i can imagine how that'd make it hard to exist in public with some dignity JGDLKJLCMKSL

hah, another Iterator found a way to worm its way into your heart JGKSLLCKMLKS stars, same- the gentleness but also in the contrast of what he's gone through, what that kindness and sweetness had to endure. and he's stern and strict and some would call him a little scary when he talks to them like to some soldiers- promising that if this time around (in the off string au) someone will be caught neglecting their responsibilities like some have done with Mission Self-preservation he will be able to deal with them Personally this time. Notos won't be the only thing they'll have to worry about now. and sometimes he's a little insensitive as a result of that trauma, too. but ultimately? oh gods, ultimately he only wants everyone to be okay and taken care of as they deserve

GSLJKMCKLS fucking Crows.... leave it to the One og character i have in Moon's group to do me a favor and stay as she is meant to be

(about the finale) literally what the fuck

like it made me cry a bit and gave some closure which i appreciate a lot. and i loved my himbo sons obviously but like. it also felt so???? like the whole bit with roy n jamie felt so off? I'd expect that from s1 or even s2 Them- it just canceled all their growth like it was nothing

also i knew ted was going back, i did want him to go back to his son- i also wanted so badly for him to Come Back (to richmond)!!!! he made a home, he had a community that loved and genuinely appreciated all of him! and now well he's coaching Henry's team and is probably miserable every second he isn't with his son

honestly the finale for Ted feels only good for Henry, which if they were Real People I'd be content with bc obviously put your child first, I'd put my kid before everything. but they aren't real people, and from a narrative perspective it feels like a tragedy, like we got a bad, sad ending for ted

if ted's a self insert, it feels like whoever wrote and projected into him thinks they deserve to feel sad and self-sacrifice

— 🌱

EXACTLYYY!! thank you for putting my thoughts into words oh my god. like it just felt so. so off and so weird that ted felt a little catatonic this finale and ?? i just feel like they could've done it better?? something something, "Home is not a place, but the people" or what other cliche thing you could come up with.. i like that he went back to his son above all else but did they have to make him look so miserable about it 😖

So I didn't get to see S2 until today and I'd previously seen half a spoiler that Aziraphael died?! And then I hit block on all spoilers and went about my day. But then I sat down today to binge the entire season clutching my pearls the entire time, thinking of how Aziraphael would meet his end. And then the season (and what a lovely season it was) was all about how much Crowley loves his angel and I was fully expecting the ending to rip my heart out if Aziraphael died. But the ending?? The actual ending?? How about you feed me poison, it'd be less painful? Wow, give us everything and then give us NOTHING? IT TOOK ME 30 MINUTES TO GET THROUGH A 5 MINUTE SCENE BECAUSE I KEPT STOPPING IT. MY HANDS WERE SHAKING! I TEARED UP! AZIRAPHAEL, BABY, NO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING??

That is to say, the season was amazing, I'm planning a full rewatch of both seasons and a reread, and I plan to consume an unholy amount of fanfic for this. Neil Gaiman is a king, I won't accept criticism.

Is it weird to feel guilty for not catching up with a TV show because you aren't contributing appropriately to the metrics of the streaming service?

I absolutely plan on watching season 2 of Wheel of Time, probably more than once, but life is really hectic right now and I haven't had the time or energy to start up with it yet. I have a prime subscription and I will be supporting it! Just.... later.

You hear about shows being canceled because not enough people are watching in the first month or whatever. But this is just a bad month for me. I don't think I'd feel like this if I had any faith in streaming services to give their shows a chance to grow.
