I am still in awe of the sheer brass balls 'excuse me he said no pickles'-ness of cristabel honestly. she (re?)found god in a dude named john with the eyes of edward cullen and the body of a history professor, she immediately bossed him around and told him jesus' problem was that he didn't maintain good work/life balance, she asked the pope for a note to say her new buddy/god was chill and not a heretic actually (source: just trust me on this one holy father), she said 'john you are the way and the truth and the life and I am no longer asking here' and enforced apotheosis at gunpoint... and she was best bros with and inspired eternal devotion in mercy, the prickliest human being to ever live. who is she.

okay, so casper and nova, right? the casper and nova game is one big metaphor for simon and betty’s relationship. and the last thing we see in it is: nova tries to sacrifice herself so casper can get what he wants, and the choices are to either go with that, or nova lives but casper forgets her. and it’s obviously meant to parallel simon and betty’s situation in come along with me after they get swallowed by golb: either betty can sacrifice herself to keep simon safe, or she doesn’t but he goes back to being ice king. (um, that is, assuming that she was correct to think they might revert to the forms they had before getting digested after exiting golb. which is not something we have any actual evidence for. it was just a possibility that occurred to her and a risk she wasn’t willing to take.)
UM. EVERY PART OF THAT WAS BECAUSE OF DECISIONS BETTY MADE INDEPENDENTLY?
betty decides to jump through the portal when simon is trying to say goodbye to her, betty decides to fix the crown and then try to find a way to cure him even after he’s told her he’d rather die than be ice king again, betty decides to fucking summon golb, betty decides to push simon out of golb before he can react at all just in case the crown goes back to its former state once it leaves and just in case there’s no way to get rid of golb without its wish magic.
IT WAS BETTYS CHOICES IT WAS BETTYS CHOICES IT WAS ALL BETTYS OWN CHOICES THAT SHE MADE IT WAS BETTY BETTY WAS THE REASON THEY WERE IN THAT SITUATION

i'm a bit emotional about being a guest in xlmi zine because i remember when i was a baby writer. back then, i used to watch big amazing famous writers creating for zines and having a lot of kudos under their fics and getting artworks and a lot of love for their works. one quiet thought in my mind was "i wish i could be like that one day"... and look at me now being like the writers i used to look up to😭😭
