I actually really loved how they managed to make Kit and Jade a slow burn after having them kiss in episode one. Like, yeah, on one level it’s funny watching them insist they’re just friends when they are clearly, obviously not just, but it’s a real stroke of storytelling genius on another level. Just because these girls have clearly been smitten with each other for ages by the start of the show doesn’t mean they were ready to talk about it openly. Kit dreamed of adventuring, saying to Jade “don’t you dream of getting out there?” But Jade looks only at Kit. She doesn’t dream of going beyond the barrier, only of the girl standing beside her. But Jade can’t see a future where their paths lead anywhere together; Kit is engaged to Graydon, she’ll be Queen, and Jade’s going to be a knight. Any possible relationship is naught but dreams for Kit and Jade in episode one. But dreams sustain us so they hang onto it for as long as possible, never speaking it. Until it’s broken the night of the engagement. The precious bubble of the dream pops. Kit can’t imagine staying, can’t imagine marrying someone she doesn’t know, someone who isn’t Jade. So she goes to say goodbye, and she kisses her, a reckless goodbye kiss with no consequences because she’s leaving and she’s never going to see Jade again. Except that doesn’t happen. The attack happens, and suddenly they’re on a quest together, beyond their rules and roles. They weren’t ready to discuss it before and still aren’t, but the kiss is there, lingering between them, a dancing edge of tension to their friendship. They can try and go back to the way it was when they were just friends and pining after each other, ever longing, but they can’t. They don’t really want to. They want this, they want each other, a life with each other, but they don’t know how to say it, how to start. But watching them grapple with it, with their feelings, and eventually come to speak them to each other in such beautiful scenes, is a joy and a delight

Everyone deserves one good cry per quest.

Love the experience of writing a character who is absolutely, completely, and unapologetically an asshole. They never stop bitching, not even in their internal monologue, and they are the very embodiment of a cranky goat.

It’s incredible, more writers should write characters who are in no way meant to be unproblematic favs. Write problematic favs instead. Good for the writing soul.
