many of us as very young kids were obsessed with some form of non-automobile domestic travel; airplanes, trains, passenger ships -- if you were one of these kids, what was yours? (im excluding cars because i feel like it'd landslide win every time, kids always love cars)
The train going past is literally the perfect experience. The ground shakes beneath you; the smell of rust; the insurmountable power. And god the sound of the horn that rattles into your heart. It engages every sense and moves with joints like a real great animal. And then it’s over. It ends in seconds and then you’re left desiring again m, so so perfect
Just saw someone say that Geo is "annoyingly clingy" and that Cole's character is completely different???? They said/implied Cole should've just abandoned the Finders to go look for the Ninja???????? Bitch are we talking about the same Cole????
also it's rly fun to finally see how delilah talks to laudna when she's present and laudna's alone because like. she's not mean and she's honestly not all that suspiciously evil-sounding, she's just blunt and a bit patronizing. and i think even if she tortured and murdered laudna it makes a lot of sense why laudna would kind of let that stuff fall to the wayside after 30 years of feeling like this person is the only one who has never left you and she's the only one who is looking out for you (both of which were unequivocally true for a long time). and the way laudna asks her about what she thinks of the situation and of ashton, like a young girl trying to learn from an adult on how to feel about a confusing and new situation, and the way delilah just answers her questions, seemingly pretty honestly. which also reminds me of when laudna took imogen's rock and asked delilah what it was, because in marisha's own words, she thought delilah would help! and i think if it were anything else other than a delicious magical rock that delilah wanted to eat so bad, i truly think she would have! and she gave them that lil q&a during girls night and was very generous with her answers!
anyway my point is this whole time we've been seeing delilah from an outsider's pov just like imogen and therefore are pretty aligned with imogen's near-uncompromising Fuck Delilah And Also Fuck Delilah mindset. but this was the first time we've really gotten to see that relationship from within, from how laudna's seen it her whole life, and now i certainly understand laudna's longstanding But Maybe Delilah's Not So Bad mindset much more
It just sunk in that Edwin was knitting in disguise on the train
Edwin knits!
Did he learn this when he was alive? Did he learn it after he died? Did Charles come up with these great disguises (brills, right?) and Edwin was like "yes, perfect, but if we are to appear authentic..." and decide that knitting was the perfect middle-aged woman on a train hobby?
Does he knit between cases? Just a floating ball of yarn slowly turning into a scarf, to add to the pile of scarves they, I don't know, drop off somewhere? Or is there ghost yarn? Does Charles have a slowly growing stock of ghost sweaters in his backpack? They've been friends for thirty years, that's a lot of time for the ghost knitting to accumulate!
