the sheer messiness of kissing Hayden before the recoupling and then splitting up Lisbeth and Ethan instead of Hayden and Franki AND THEN kissing Lisbeth on the couch before sneaking out to the terrace to do bits with Hayden oooooo the only thing that would’ve made this volume better is if I could’ve gone to the daybeds to see Ethan after doing bits 🙂↕️
here's my weekly burn update ✌️ chap 6 has a lot going on so pls read the tags beforehand if you haven’t already
i was tired and forgot that the reason why i posted this was to say luz would've gotten waffles as her palisman if flapjack had survived. i am completely making this up and have no evidence but if flapjack was still alive, he would've stayed with hunter - protecting caleb like evelyn would've wanted. luz would've gotten a bird to reconfirm her status as a clawthorne and because of the symbolic meaning of blue jays - confidence, strength, protection, faithfulness etc relating to her as a character. instead of being heavy handed with stringbean's ability to shapeshift in tandem with luz's indecision we would focus on her need for adaptability and freedom, something often associated with birds because of their ability to fly. in this essay i will
