we need a kipperlilly special on the complicated women podcast - she willingly chose to be possessed, those are some complex ethical and philosophical ramifications. for the sake of the argument i'm assuming porter also has control over her since the shatter star is a part of her, because the morality of choosing to become evil is so interesting. did she think she was going to become a hero somehow, or did she accept that she would have to be a villain to have the power she wanted? she wanted to be better than the bad kids but she kept her moral superiority about fairness and the rules, so was she aware that she couldn't beat the bad kids by playing fair? was her anger always at her own inadequacy, at the fact that she could never excel in the same way they did without cheating? was she projecting the entire time?
OK. OK IMCHILL ABOUT THIS.
lemon yoghurt demon yes, but consider - corn cutie glob. tuna surprise.
kalina said ragh barkrock, not lydia. lydia has experience with these things, she knows how to seal it and she's pretty cognizant and capable at the moment so she doesn't need ragh to explain on her behalf. maybe kalina just said ragh because he used to be infected (and he wasn't born with it so we can assume lydia wasn't) so she knows him better, but. lydia's already occupied with the gem in her chest. IF the same ritual needed to happen to seal the shatter stars again, lydia wouldn't be strong enough in her current state since she's weakened by the gem. gorgug's strength score dropped to 18 since taking more levels of artificer. ragh still has a +5. as far as we know the closest person to the bad kids who COULD have the strength to fuse with the gem is ragh, who also has some experience with it already. and if he did he would experience the same illness as his mother if not worse.
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!
gilears voice is slightly different - maybe it's just that brennan hasn't done that voice in a while, but i really think there's something up with him. obviously he's had great luck (probably a trade-off for figs new terrible luck) but his personality seems to have changed and fabian didn't make an insight check
Anyone else getting odd vibes for Gilear this episode…? Cause between him mysteriously winning a vacation and getting engaged/married without telling Fig (cause you KNOW he’d tell her) and Fig’s Dairy Demon Deal™️, I feel like something is up…

Remus: Did you have to stab him?
Sirius: You weren't there. You didn't hear what he said to me.
Remus: What did he say?
Sirius: "What are you going to do, stab me?"
Remus:
Lily:
The rest of the Gryffindors:
James: (nodding) That's fair.
i'm just saying a place where abstinence is seen as holy and is celebrated and in fact attraction is the sin? that sounds like a good place to be asexual without having to label it and face discrimination
Guys I think it's time to admit it. Shauna's a villain.
Genuinely I think so much of the fandom discourse could be helped by admitting this. You can find villains hot, you can find villains scary, villains can piss you off, but I haven't seen anyone arguing that she's not a bad person. She's a bully, she's manipulative, she's selfish, she hates everyone but herself, she's miserable to be around, she traded in her tragically fridged wife for a bootlicking henchman. All of these are BEAUTIFUL villain qualities.
