I do think it's worthless to try to argue with the "amount of screen time = relative significance" crowd, but I really cannot stress enough how great this episode was for me personally, as an Essek stan.
I was doing the math between the mention of the war in the prelude (instead of a more general, 'since the Mighty Nein largely parted ways') and Trent saying, "Don't you want to know what I have?" and sat in my chair for ten minutes before Trent actually said it like, "Surely this man is not about to threaten Essek. That is way too much wish fulfillment for me personally. There is no way that's what he's about to say." AND THEN.
Fundamentally my opinions of an episode are not predicated on whether my fave was physically in attendance, nor even whether he was relevant, but it does show how reductive the measurement of screen time is as a metric considering Trent didn't even have to mention Essek by name to drag his living soul in kicking and screaming to briefly haunt this narrative.

day three: sharp
more writing mwahahah :3
"what're you doing?" horror asks. jet hums, glancing up before looking back down at their fingers.
"cuttin' my nails." they answer, followed by a sharp 'snip!' sound.
"why?" he asks. jet shrugs, holding out their left hand to show off their nails.
"look. gettin' sharp. then they get caught on stuff."
horror makes a soft sound of understanding, taking a seat beside jet. he watches them snip off the ends of their claws, head tilting curiously.
"'sides," jet continues after a moment. "now i don't gotta worry about scratchin' you when i grab your cute face."
they look up smugly at horror, earning a soft chuckle. he pats their head, causing their tail to sway.
"it wouldn't hurt," he snorts. "your claws are so small."
"oh yeah?" they taunt, brandishing the not-yet cut claws on the other hand. "wanna test that theory?"
horror chuckles again, grabbing jet's hand in his. he traces one of his phalanxes over the tip of their claw, where it's sharpest. their fingers looks so small compared to his.
"see? too small." he boasts. jet rolls their eyes, taking their hand back to cut those claws.
"psh, whatever. you're just lucky i like you and don't wanna scratch you." they grumble with a smile.
"whatever you say, tiny."
"wha—i'm not tiny!"

rise and 2k3 crossover where rise raph is the first one somehow accidentally sent to the other reality, my beloved imaginary scenario
catch the 2003 boys temporarily thinking rise raph is from a reality where the turtles are all fully adults, a little bit bc he’s an absolute unit but mostly bc of his whole Vibe... the worry lines... the practicality... the handle on his temper... the sheer Big Brother Energy that fully includes trying to big brother them (raphael ‘parentified eldest child trauma’ hamato strikes by also thinking he’s either a lil older or at least the same age as them on principle)

absolutely obsessed with the idea that in-universe it's not actually common knowledge that kim broke chay's heart and not the other way around because let's be real, why don't you stay also sounds like a you broke my heart and i miss you song just as much as an i fucked up and i'm sorry song.
we know, and chay knows, and kim knows the way it went but do the others???? does chay go to porsche with the video to ask for advice and porsche is like holy shit you broke my boyfriend's little brothers heart??? when did you do that??? also hey he kinda looks like that singer you have a shrine for how funny is that.
does tankhun annoy kim into sharing what he's been up to and then immediately set out to figure it out??? how do they figure that out? do they make a murder board like kim has??? so many options holy shit

no, no, it's NOT passing the torch guys.
STOP I DONT WANT TO HEAR IT. RAFA IS NOT PASSING THE TORCH TO ANYBODY, RAFAS AMAZING THE WAY HE IS!! IDC I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IN ALL THIS. Rafael Nadal is not passing the torch. I'm a bitch. I know. I'm being so pissy about it. I know!!!
But how will I ever move on from Novak/Rafa/Roger's era?? Idk, maybe it's just me, but idk how people move on from the big 3 era so fast now that the new era is starting?? Like?? TEACH ME. I feel like such a bitch about it.
I'm happy for Carlitos, I really, genuinely am. I cried for him, I cheered for him and I really like him and i am so so proud of him. But I'm not ready for his era to start yet. In fact, in all of my honesty and truth revealed, I don't want it to start so fast.
I wish the Big 3 era will stay forever and never end. So why and how, are people moving on so fast? Do they want to see it end before they even end it?? all these videos of passing the torch and all this new era shit. Can't we appreciate Novak and Rafa right now while they are still here and still playing? Soon enough, in a blink of an eye, they'll be gone.
They'll be retired and I thought that people would appreciate them more in their last moments. I know they won't retire this time around, though Rafa will next year and I'm still so upset, and Novak will probably retire in like..5 years. Tops. And Andy too.
And soon all the new gen will take over, I'll be fricking 20+ then, and I won't see that familiar face I always see in my childhood anymore. I won't hear about Rafa's latest injuries, and his grunts, and his little quirks that the media love to point out, I won't hear about another Novak drama of breaking rackets, I won't hear about Novak winning everything anymore and pissing everybody off.
I won't hear the Novak fans and Rafa fans fighting anymore, about the goat debates etc. I'm going to miss the fedal posts that are still around despite the fact that there is only one left still playing.
I don't want it to end.
So how are the people I see on Instagram and everything, how are they so excited for this new era to take over and how are they so excited for Rafa and Novak's (and Roger's) reign to end?
IM- UGH.
(I'm just ranting but that's what Tumblr is for okay, apologies)

OHH thats all so cool omg i knew they did a lot of producing and writing for other musicians but i didnt realize how POPULAR some of them were ... hehehe popstar movie i watched . i love their silly club music though but YEAH theyre actually super talented despite what youd might assume i love themsorry this took forever to type . yay music 🎶🎶
LITERALLY YAY MUSIC❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ the fact that their club style music is soo silly is what threw me off the most when i found out they wrote music for other people bc a lot of it doesnt even sound like them it sounds like the style of the artist they're writing for. which is the job of a song writer i know that but its still sooo crazypants that they really are skilled at that career on top of making lots of just funny music too..
