it's so funny that fig was going to spare ruben if she could 'connect with him' GIRL, YOU'VE BEEN CATFISHING HIM ALL SEASON AND JUST KILLED HIS FRIEND. i love emily's meta perspective of 'you wasted MY time by not being manipulated into letting me kill your friends! you know how long i spent on that psychological torment? how dare you cast a spell on me!' because she really put in the work with this but yeah of course he's going to psychic scream after being haunted by an illusion he fell in love with all year!
you ever just stop to think about taissa turner before the crash. so coldly logical. everything about her was so controlled, such perfectly calculated compartmentalisation that she could get the team to nations, she could get into law school, she could keep her parents happy and do it all with just enough time in between to let herself be happy with van. how she carved out a space for them to live freely and kept it carefully contained to protect it.
and then she loses control bit by bit. she has more freedom, more time with van, more space to be herself. but she gets greedy. she gorges herself on it. she loses the safety, the certainty, the confidence. she can't protect herself anymore, can't protect van. and she can barely even enjoy it anymore because she's so desperately trying not to lose it. part of losing control is losing yourself, and suddenly she's looking at someone living her life who's not her, who invaded their safe space.
think about tai on the other side of the hospital door, screaming to see her. just to see her, spend as much time with her as she can. to bask in five more minutes of van. and the other person dismisses her with a promise of later. they could have another day, another year with van. if she just hands over those five minutes. if she gives up her joy, her freedom, then maybe she can go crawling back to control.
My favourite bits of Tumblr slang are the ones that sound like they'd just be Starfire from Teen Titans' actual, legit word for that thing.
how fucking long is this guy's torso
As a bisexual, it sickens me that some people WILL keep scrolling.
I see peoples belief that Aguefort "loves The Seven, couldn't care less about most other parties (including The Rat Grinders), and actively dislikes The Bad Kids" and raise you:
He loves and respects The Seven in the closest way Arthur Aguefort is physically capable of approaching towards a sensible mentor figure (which is still not very much)
He is neutral towards most other parties
AND he loves The Bad Kids except he is doing so in the way that an absolutely unhinged friend of your parents who calls himself your uncle cares for you (he is sleeping off a hangover on your couch, eating all your snacks, and engaging you in psychological warfare but also he has some wild stories to tell you while taking you into the woods and teaching you how to throw knives (if you promise not to narc on him to your parents))
If you get scared, you can always hide behind me. I’ll be hiding behind Luke.
the fact that this was almost entirely accurate with the exception of FIVE pullinh the car over all excited and KLAUS wanting to advance plot. you love to see it.
at this point i don’t even want klaus and five’s visit to the biggest ball of twine to be plot relevant at all. i want them to be roadtripping to somewhere plot relevant and they have to pass through Minnesota to get there and they drive right past it like
Klaus: we have to stop the car. right now
Five: what
Klaus: stop the car
Five: why?
Klaus: big ball of twine
Five: … i’m not stopping the car so you can look at a giant ball of twine
*cuts immediately to the two of them standing right in front of the ball*
Klaus: you know, i really thought it’d be bigger :\
Well fucks? Get to it!
