do you think fourteen has a breakdown one day about just how much time with donna he lost. it was that easy, the whole time, for the metacrisis issue to be resolved, and instead of him ever figuring that out, he lost years and years of a life he could have had with her. he stood on the outskirts of her wedding. he wasn’t there when she was pregnant with rose and wasn’t there when she had her. he wasn’t there for a thousand little moments where he could have made her laugh. every time she looked for him without remembering who she was looking for could have been a time he was standing next to her. and he’s never going to get that back. time machine at his fingertips and yet somehow the one thing he never has enough of is time.

One thing that I dislike about hotd, which is nothing new to say, is that due to the length of time that's covered, we don't see character interactions at all. It'll be interesting to see the development of this in season 2 because it's going to be. Like episodes 8 to 10 in terms of narratives. We've slowed all the way down to focus on the dance. I do think that this shift will cause a large amount of conflict in viewers who'll think the story is too slow now but also it'll be interesting to see how well they can flesh out characters they simply didn't have too. How much space will they leave for little character moments that don't advance the plot but establish relationships to invoke the true tragedy of the lives lost in the dance.
For me personally, in season one, a focus on Corlys as the Lord of Driftmark and his relationship to the people there would be excellent for both Addam, Marlida, and the Battle of the Gullet.
It's something they can adjust for in season two, but again its a disconnect in the world building when we don't establish the world with character moments.

soooometiiiimes it breaks my heart that one of the very few times u see dark without almost any sort of fucking-around facade it's his brief dialogue with manisumea. he enters the conversation with her grinning and playfully saying she's changed a little as she's been forcefully disgraced and parasited by baku and only then slips into the rest of his serious/emotional dialogue right as she's breaking and dying before his very eyes.
'manisumea, you're an old acquaintance. when i was captured, you set me free and were broken for it. manisumea, you're already broken. i can't save you.' argentine's 'it's only going to break again, if only i had the power to fix it,' overlayed with a panel of dark, who's always been thinking the same thing and has just been stealing and preserving what he could even if he didn't have any sort of power to make things last forever, dnangel's constant thematic of life and death and love and grief. but rlly just like.....
this dude is so sad and helpless sometimes

Whenever I see people bragging about how loud they listen to music or how it'll give them hearing loss I'm like... bro. That's not the flex you think it is.

It’s kind of sad to see what’s become of alchemy of souls tbh... like yea the first season also had shit writing but at least the dynamic between jang uk and naksu was able to carry it across the finish line because they were giving us something you don’t see that often within kdramas... they were mental illness inducing with their wild mentor/mentee lowkey unhealthy relationship... but S2 is honestly pathetic... like who asked for a romantic dramedy where jang uk has a “fridged wife” where memory-loss naksu has to be the one to help him heal from his trauma by being bright and bubbly or whatever they got her doing...
