Never has a character been as stupid as Scott McCall, especially in season 6A
Didn’t expect hamster god exploding toilet story to turn into Brennan and Izzy foreplay but it did and I’m here for it
Can’t wait for the interactions with that Helio cleric teacher next episode. Kristen explaining that Sol officiated a gay wedding, explaining that her god is queer. The passive aggressiveness radiating off both of them. Hopefully we’ll get another “permanent disadvantage on insight checks” moment.
In a more real sense, if Kristen goes down (3 death save fails, not just unconscious), does Cassandra die? Bobby Dawn is supposed to bring them back up but it would be pretty easy for him to say he’s not able to do it. Even if he does bring her back, she was dead for a time and Cassandra had no followers left in the material plane. Fig and Fabian probably both have revivify though
One of the reasons I like pigeons so much is because I relate to them. Unafraid of humans and yet completely feral. Literally too stupid to die. Can and will eat anything. I think I would also be really fucking bad at building a nest, and just have like a quarter of my kids survive to adulthood by sheer luck. Social extrovert fond of doing seemingly pointless shit as a group activity. Thriving in cities because tall apartment buildings resemble their natural habitat (rock cliffs) as well as mine (wizard tower).
Really not sure what I was expecting from Kristen “chaos isn’t cute anymore” Applebees but it definitely wasn’t “Straight British clone says Blimey before being blown up by god and also she was pregnant (with Fabian’s kid)”
driving all night and into the morning with your head lolling in the passenger seat. i don't want to romanticize cars because henry ford is evil; but i am in love with you and therefore everything feels romantic, even gas stations. i tell you i don't like the car-obsessed infrastructure of america; the same old rant about public transportation and energy costs and how racism and bigotry work together to hasten the End Times. you nod along and make sure i eat.
the sun putting down gentle feelers onto the winter sticks of massachusetts. feeling your hand in mine while we listen to a new album, ranking each song quietly. your jaw limned with the red-green passage of streetlamps. your hands around the large order of french fries we split between us. without comment, you pass me the biggest one. somewhere in maine, we stop randomly for a walk and are overwhelmed by the beauty. i'll never be able to find that place again, and it's okay. everything with you feels new to me.
spring is coming and the car is a stick shift and needs oil often and makes a concerning clicking if i turn left. we sit and watch the ocean come in, eating takeout quietly while the wind whips up and over the rocks. facing forward and feeling-rather-than-seeing you listen; i tell you things that are real and important and are hardly-ever spoken. the engine ticks as it cools and our voices get quiet. the hour gets small and i'll be sleepy on the drive home but as long as i don't have to leave yet, i can stay for the moment. let the moment linger on.
in the backseat my dog lets out a little sigh while he stretches. the gps says 354 miles until we hit home again.
a car is not a pure thing, no charming aesthetic. and then you tilt back your head and howl along to julien baker. and i think - oh god, oh god, i'm so in love that even the drive is romantic.
The way that Aabria has perfectly crafted the progression of this story is so good. The slow reveals and character development. The set pieces and projections on the dome. It’s all so fucking good and I can’t wait for the last episode
Zac is not only in Crit City. He has a permanent residence. He’s taken his citizenship test and passed
Ally saying that comedian was the furthest down on their list of things to be because it was selfish is just so terrible and it makes me sad that society has taught us to look at art this way. Art brings people joy! It helps us connect with each other and understand each other and our world. It’s not selfish to make art! The amount of joy that Ally has brought me cannot be overstated. Art and comedy has so much value
