Everyone’s like ‘Vash has two hands’ or ‘Meryl has two hands’, but guess what, both Millie and Wolfwood also have two hands! All I’m saying is, why does it have to be a line when it can be a circle?
VashMeryl is great. Vashwood is good. Mashwood is awesome, but I also cannot believe we still don’t have an OT4 name when this is one of those series where I can really see it being canon. (Wolfwood x Millie deserve some love too. Big Gal and Mr. Priest were adorable in the ‘98 series.)
I mean, Vash’ and Millie’s types are clearly ‘dark and angry’, while Meryl and Wolfwood are soft for the ‘goofy and sunny’. Vash and Millie get along while Meryl and Wolfwood wouldn’t hesitate to throttle each other. It’s great!
In short, pleaaaase give me Season 2 and Millie, pleaaaase.

Today on I Reread Effloresce And Had What If Pov Thoughts: RHYSAND. Like what is going on in this dude's head? Seriously. In the little snipit we get of his pov it sounds like Hyburn is his biggest concern but that derails into a desperate need to one-up the Archerons SO damn fast. His oh so ~well~ thought out plan gets blown to smithereens instantly and his control freak self is PANICKING while also trying to maintain his whole calm cool casual facade. Will he ever admit how badly he misjudged the whole situation in the human lands? No. Does he even care? Probably also no. All that really matters by this point is that Feyre's sisters keep upsetting her and THAT can't stand.
Added to all this other plan breaking bullshit, Cassian starts following around after the angry loud one like a lovesick puppy and he's not 100% sure what's going on with Az but Something is.
And of course Lucien FUCKING Vanserra.
I'm willing to bet that Rhys's suggestion of going to get shithead papa Archeron is based on just how much Nesta and Elain seem to hate him.(And then Az shuts that down with "I will fucking KILL HIM")
Then the wardrobe of dead birds happens and he thinks for like half a second that he should feel bad about that but then Nesta is shouting at Feyre and he can't have THAT. (Then the sweet polite sister grabs the knife from Cass's boot. Oh yeah, she did STAB Az didn't she)
He looks forward to seeing Nesta put in her place by a bunch of misogynistic Illirian assholes but instead the entire legion is ride-or-die for team Archeron practically from the moment their feet hit the ground. How the HELL did they mange THAT? (it's called respect and basic decency. Try it sometime)
(and then Mor gets there just in time for Az to start noticeably losing his shit.)
(I also noticed that there was a line where Rhys bit back a snarl because even after all this time it would make Feyre uncomfortable. Meanwhile Lucien just has no qualms about being absolutely undeniably Faery in from of Nesta and Elain and they give exactly zero shits about it.)
Oh man, Rhys. Rhysie Rhysie Rhys slowly but surely showing more and more psycho.
So, the thing is, Hybern IS the top priority. However- and I think this is just like, so pivotal to Rhysands character as a whole- it has to be fighting Hybern his way. He has a year to tell the other lords shit, and he doesn't. He steals, he lies, he puts civilians in danger.
And why? Well, because that's the story he's telling.
Textually, observably we have Rhys, arrogant misogynistic selfish fuck face that he is, and then we have Rhys, the battered but unbroken noble underdog fighting against odds for the Good of All tragic hero man- this is the story he tells himself. It's the one he makes sure Feyre believes. It falls apart against all his actions, but that doesn't matter to him.
The humans don't want to talk to him? Of course he's going to find a back way in. Feyre's human sisters might die? Well, one less thing to take her away. Humans might die? Sure, Rhys feels bad, but not enough not to weigh the cost favorably.
Then he actually gets there.
And they're so... Unbiddable. Hostile. They've upset Feyre, they've written blood magic all across their land, and Rhys might appreciate cleverness but this is just more than he wants to deal with.
And Lucien. Sidebar: what I think is hilariously never talked about is. Well. Lucien actually is all the things Rhysand romantically imagines himself to be. He is ACTUALLY the lost heir, the disinherited son, the noble prince. He actually did stand against Amarantha for his friends. He's drinking respect women juice by the gallon while actually being charming and powerful. I cannot imagine this doesn't lie cardinal to the reason why Rhys is so disdainful towards him.
Lucien is easy to write off by himself. (Because Rhys fucking hates him). Nesta Archeron sets everybody's teeth on edge. Elain keeps smiling. They're all the worst and every one of them is important to Feyre and thus, a threat to Rhys. Anything that could hurt her is, he won't allow her to be hurt.
Cassian is acting like an idiot but Cassian is an idiot about women. Azriel is all Azriel but what else is new? Rhys will deal with it.
(Rhys will not deal with it. Rhys does not believe for a second how serious this all is. Rhys is, frankly, already bored. Maybe he'll find Feyre's father. It'll make her happy, and someone else can wrangle the others.)
They're merchants- of course they're merchants, grasping little mortals- they have a contract? Well, if they want to play with magic so badly, Rhys will help them.
(Rhys does not understand what Azriel finds so compelling, much less Cassian. Illyrians do not brook with disloyalty- even the mention is enough for shame. They won't betray him. They won't, but it's still enough to annoy)
Cassian's bleeding heart has always been a problem. Azriels moods. Honor. What honor did they ever learn, starving in the freezing mud, Rhys thinks. These humans want to wade into waters that will only drown them- Feyre will be so much safer, no ties left to mortality- of course Illyrians, backwards, difficult Illyrians, side with these misbegotten nightmare women. Let them be crushed by it, let one rebellious legion die, Rhys doesn't care either way.
He's pissed, but he's also letting things play out hoping it just implodes an entire situation he doesn't want to deal with.
He's also not actually totally in the loop. Cassian's POV makes Azriel really distinct because they are so, so close, but Rhys, for a lot of reasons, doesn't have the same understanding. He knows Azriel went off the rails when his mother and sister died, but so did, you know, half the mountains. He refuses to even entertain how personal it was beyond maternal feelings.
Things get worse and Rhys gets worse because this is not how it was supposed to go. What the hell is it about these Archerons?

I am in love with the idea that a few of the mercs are just parental in nature.
Like youve got Engie, who is just constantly seen as a the team dad because he just seems like he would be and would listen and give fatherly advice. Mans just seems like a dad
But what I love as well is both Heavy and Medic being a fatherly duo. Medic certainly doesnt seem like the type at times but that doesng matter. He will notice if something is off and will notice if someone is acting different. Scout seems quiet and distant? He gets dragged to the medbay and is questioned until he cracks and tells Medic what is wrong. Which Medic in turn gives some actually good advice on what he should do. Same goes with any of the other mercs. Heavy I think is self explanatory. He took care of his mom and his three sisters filling in for the father roll as well as being an older brother and I think on base he continues that roll but with the mercs.
Over all I think the base has 3 team dads (Heavy, Medic, and Engie) and everyone else kinda fills a more brotherly roll (thats not saying that Heavy, Medic, and Engie dont all act like siblings with the rest sometimes. They will get dragged into the others dumb ideas and stunts and will go a long with them most of the time)

Disabled queer culture is hearing people complain about shopping carts in parking spaces and then condemn every single person who has ever left a shopping cart, literally saying they deserve to get hit by a car, saying they are the worst kind of person, implying all of them don’t deserve to participate in society.
And then, when you try to interject, to say, “hey, some people can’t get the carts back to the return, I know it’s annoying but it’s not black and white, I don’t think we should say things like that,” you are brushed off and told “obviously we weren’t talking about that,” and, “you’re being so sensitive, it was a joke.”
I’m not physically disabled but I know lots of people who are, it hurts to hear thing like that and I’m not even who they’re talking about, it’s fucking wild to say such awful people for leaving carts in the parking lot and not even once mention that tons of people are NOT ABLE to get those carts back where they belong. Blows my mind how many people don’t even acknowledge disabled people’s existence while condemning things disabled people are forced to do because of inaccessibility.
