i think that post-dragon stuff marcille would finally process that oh maybe shes in Love With Falin and (after going thru stages of denial and 'NO I DONT WANT TO RUIN OUR FRIENDSHIP' etc etc) would eventually work up the courage to Begin Courting Falin in traditional romantic ways (just like in her elven romance novels) buying her gifts and taking her out on not-technically-dates and trying to be subtle but laying the groundwork for when she finally asks falin out on a date like a year and a half after the whole dragon thing and shes really nervous and scared but falins just like....arent we already dating

Anyway what I've gathered from this episode is that it's Sam who asked Alice out, forever ago, and it was just as cute and fumbly and brave as he did with Celia.
Alice is standing in that corridor having FLASHBACKS of younger Sam's soft eager eyes, the fidgeting of his hands, the having-to-try-three-times to succeed, but they were in Alice's then room, listening to a new album, already friends, legs so close to one another, and Alice had laughed and said "Are you asking me out?" and he'd retorted, more easily, so honestly, "Well yes. I really like you, you know?" and Alice's laughter had came to a sort of awkward weird stop and she'd gone "well, okay then. i like you too, i guess." "Such high praise" Sam had grinned and nudged her shoulder but then also tentatively brushed his hands against her fingers and Alice had said "Shut it" but let their hands get intertwined and they'd kept listening to music and --
Celia is going "Oh, sorry, Alice, I didn't see you there" and Alice is back to the present and Sam is still so lovely, so warm and fond and he knows her so well and he's already rolling his eyes at what he assumes is going to be mocking, and who's Alice to prove him wrong, huh?

Horrible realization about Charles and Erik is that Charles says in first class “sorry I can’t leave him.” And he doesn’t then. But he also doesn’t anytime after that. Every time they separate, it’s Erik leaving him. Never the other way around

one thing that is fascinating to me about merrill's arc is the way narrative manages to convince a big part of the fandom that she's immature and irresponsible and overall stupid. what we know about merrill and what we actually see on screen is that she successfully avoids possession for 6 years while working closely with a demon, almost every time she participates in some magic/spirit-related discourse she acts calm and confident and has some interesting input, she actively uses her knowledge of dalish lore and tradition to reason with her keeper, and that she actually did make progress with fixing and studying an ancient long forgotten artifact no one knows particularly anything about. but then an old woman who's never been shown to be an undeniably wise and reasonable figure, a guy who got willingly possessed with no awareness of possible consequences and whose whole mindset is still deeply andrastian and a bunch of people who know nothing about magic start judging and doubting her and everyone's like. yeah. she's so fucking dumb.
