Fuck redeeming a terrible human being for the sake of redeeming them/"it's a kids show of course everyone gets redeemed" trope
Fuck redeeming an abusive parent
Fuck "all magic's gone" trope
These characters worked so hard and went through so much of course they're going to get rewarded
Found family and birth family

I'm going to miss this show so much
everyone on my dash needs to check the batteries in their carbon monoxide detectors and please inspect your ventilation and insulation for mold ❤️
some more FTF doodles!
NGL I love it when the hermits tell us about their own roles in the server infrastructure. Like you've got X in charge of managing the server hardware, Doc on lag busting, Hypno is in charge of the website, Keralis is hardware sugar daddy, Impulse stepped up to coordinate group recordings, Joe causes problems by accident, people pitch storylines and run events and the server runs and runs, season after season
*SPOILER ALERT*
You know what the best part of Watching and Dreaming for me was? The fact that it opens SO MANY doors for fans to discuss or make content. There's Hunter's new palisman, the University of Wild Magic, the political state of the Boiling Isles, and so much more. We're not going to run out of TOH content anytime soon.
I love how inherently selfish both Glinda AND Elphaba are as protagonists. But where one gets praised and admired for it, the other gets demonised and hated.
People always attack Glinda’s decision not to runaway with Elphaba, but no one acknowledges how overtly selfish it is to ask that of someone.
Elphaba is asking Glinda to throw her ENTIRE life away for her. To be ostracised and hated all throughout Oz when she knows full well how badly Glinda cares about what people think of her.
And while Elphaba is used to such ostracisation, Glinda is not.
It is an equally selfish decision to refuse Elphaba request. To perpetuate corrupt beliefs you don’t believe; in order to be accepted and validated by people in power.
They’re BOTH in the wrong, for entirely different reasons. It was an impossible situation with no right answer. And I’m sick of people acting like Glinda made the “ wrong choice ”
Thinking about how Glinda never really hated that hat. She actually really loved it. It was dear to her. Her granny made it for her and probably played pretend with her, making Glinda’s dreams of becoming a sorceress come true. Glinda was just embarrassed when Pfannee and Shen Shen found it, so she pretended to hate it.
Maybe when she said she didn’t hate anyone that much to give it away, she really meant she didn’t love anyone that much— she didn’t trust anyone to understand how she could love a hat so hideous.
Maybe she knew Elphaba would understand. Maybe she knew Elphaba would take care of it.
And maybe Elphaba proved her right. And now, Glinda gets to admire as the most fearless person she has ever met cherishes her hat as dearly as she did.
it's sappy c! aimsey hours
c!aimsey is one of those characters that just happened to pop in my life at the right time. C!aimsey experienced a horrific loss as I was experiencing a horrific loss and represented the grieving processing a way that made sense to me when nothing else did. they carried hope and anchorless wanderings and the desire to FIX things and know everything to avoid bad things happening again in a way so many depictions of loss don't. the pit in your stomach that urged you HOME with out having one to go back toom
but most of c!aimsey represented the stubborn need to be KIND. hurt can make you jagged lines and sharp edges and my grief made me want the opposite. to be softer, listen closer because the world of cruel and unfair and kindness is an act of revolution of protest against the chaos.
it's empathy and stubborness and this very specific feeling of traversing the world when the worse possible thing that's happened to you has already happened.
what's falling off a bridge after all, you survived the tower. that's punishment enough.
I don’t get it man, this guy. THIS GUY. He just CAN’T SEEM to escape the number three. Don’t believe me?
What about the fact that he’s died 3rd every single series he’s been in? Yep, both in 3rd life and in last life, this man died third. And in the exact same way too, foolishly charging into the enemy with no plan other than bloodshed. Which fails.
What about THIS????
LIKE YOU CAN’T TELL ME THAT A LITTLE BIT SUS. IN 3RD LIFE TOO. 3RD LIFE. WHERE THE FIRST 2 KILLS WERE HIS.
What about the fact he’s only ever had 3 lives assigned to him?
What about the fact that in B.E.S.T, S is the 3rd letter?
What about the fact that he missed Double Life, the 3rd season of the Life Series??
What about the fact that because he missed Double Life, he’s been apart of 3 seasons of the Life series???
AND NOW. WHAT ABOUT THE FACT THAT IN SESSION 1 OF LIMITED LIFE, HE DIES 3 TIMES IN THE FIRST SESSION????
LIKE WHAT IS HIS DEAL??? WHY IS HE SO HAUNTED BY THE NUMBER 3??? HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING????
And I mean, he’s usually portrayed as an Angel in fanart. and 3 is considered a holy number. The Rule of 3, the Trinity, and its symbolism in numerology… (yes that’s a thing. don’t ask me how I know.) It all ties together. And it ties together to the man whose heart is too big for his head. To the man who, despite all the flair, has never killed in anything but self-defense, in the service of another. To the guy whose entire schtick so far in Limited Life is not to kill, but to appreciate the time he has and the people he’s around. To the guy who’s drawn as an angel.
I KNOW THIS SOUNDS LIKE A CONSPIRACY THEORY AND IT MIGHT BE BUT LIKE, YOU SEE IT DON’T YOU??? THE PATTERNS???? IT’S INSANE. I DON’T GET IT.
Now idk what you could do with this as like a design thing. Could have like a third wing sticking out of his neck so he’d have 3 wings? Could have a halo with 3 rings? Idk man, I ain’t the artist, but I feel like there’s potential here.
Could also have Dove symbolism? Y'know, doves and angels, doves usually being associated with peace and Skizz having a very nonviolent and more negotiating approach. I mean he spared both Scar and Bdubs in 3rd Life, he chose mercy when really, he could have killed them together with the Red Army. And after Skizz dies is always when everything goes to true shit. After his death came the final battles of Dogwarts in 3rd life. After his death, the Wither was summoned in Last Life and everything fell into slowly decaying chaos. First goes the canary, the first warning that time has run out. Second goes an innocent other, to hammer in that there’s no return. And to complete the rule of 3, the dove follows the canary. The death of peace, a final warning. That now there will be no more.
im a little insane about skizzleman okay.
