Theon having another illusion gut wrenchingly taken from him when he learns Jon Snow wasn’t a son of Lord Eddard Stark but a boy brought home with him from a past war treated, raised and loved as a son. something Theon desperately wanted but couldn’t have because he thought you had to be born into it

the saddest line in the trailer
at first I was too distracted by Stede's plunging neckline and gold earring to fully realize why this kept nagging at me but:
"I've been a failure my whole life."
and the way he says it:
as a matter of fact, because he fully believes it – it's an integrated part of his self-image
to comfort someone else (presumably), meaning that even though it is sort of similar to Ed's "I'm not a good person" from s1e6, this scene doesn't seem to be about Stede getting comforted – he is just throwing that line in there
with the follow-up line of "It's not so bad once you get used to it," because he is used to being called a failure by everyone around him, even when he was a kid, so much that he doesn't question it
and yeah, Stede fucks up a lot and can be a bit air-headed/naive and overestimates his abilities (Stede's super high confidence vs. shit self-esteem is a central part of his character), often to the detriment of himself and everyone around him, but his biggest "crime" growing up was simply that he was different and didn't live up to the norms of masculinity. and this is what caused him to be made to feel like a failure by the world around him.
(putting the rest under the cut because I have a lot to say apparently lmao ⬇️)
idk it is just so sad that after everything that happened at the end of season 1, he still echoes his father's and the Badmintons' words when talking about himself (and his own "I'm not a pirate, I'm an idiot" from s1e1). he still has a lot of growth to do.
and while it's good that he embraces his own shortcomings (and I hope he stays a loser in many ways <3) and the show reinforces that you don't have to be perfect to be worthy of love/that you are worthy of love just as you are, it is just. idk SO SAD to hear him say that about himself so earnestly
but do you know who doesn't let Stede self-deprecate?
THIS GUY, FROM THEIR VERY FIRST DAY TOGETHER
from telling Stede he isn't such a terrible pirate (at least he's alive), to not letting Stede call his own ideas stupid, Ed likes Stede for who he is WHILE not letting him talk bad about himself like that.
now we can't know who Stede is talking to in the scene in the trailer, just that it is someone with long dark hair:
and it could be someone else (to me it doesn't look quite like Ed's hair, but the quality/lighting makes it difficult to tell), but if it IS Ed, it has the potential for him to (once again) go against Stede's negative self-talk 😌
I am so interested to see how this scene plays out and I REALLY hope we get a scene mirroring the bathtub scene (even if it's not this one) but with the roles switched ✌️

I've seen few people comment on how much strength it would take to be able to lift Ronald's lawnmower. Don't get me wrong, I also think Ronald can't fight for his life, BUT I KNOW THERE MUST BE AT LEAST A LITTLE LITTLE STRENGTH IN HIS ARMS, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT THING MUST WEIGH? Grell's chainsaw must also be extremely heavy, but we all know that Grell logically has enough strength to just swing it like it's nothing.

More weilin propaganda because they've been giving me feels again
Im a big proponent of Wei and Bolin getting together incredibly, painfully slowly. It takes ages for them to realise that they have feelings for the other and then even longer for them to actually confess to one another.
I imagine that Wei falls first and he is incredibly angry about it. He probably got a little crush on Bolin when team Avatar first came to Zaofu, but didn't really realise it. He's definitely not happy about it and really tries to go : 'no actually i hate him.' I imagine he would also feel awful for having feelings for his sister's boyfriend.
I like the idea of Bolin in a slow burn romance because in the show he gets together with whichever partner incredibly fast. Since it often also feels like Bolin is sorta forcing the relationship to happen, I would like to see how he would be when falling in love with someone slowly and unintentionally.
Since I see Bolin having strong comphet + internalised homophobia vibes, I can also imagine him just. Not realising that hes falling for Wei until hes like deeply infatuated. (You know, typical straight bro activities totally include staring at your homie's lips and wondering if they're as soft as they look and how they would feel upon your own.)
The 'flirting but not acknowledging the actual feelings stage' would last forever. These two are absolutely the types to tease the other to no end. Wei's cocky and competitive and Bolin can definetly match that energy when with the right people.
Because Bolin is so comphet he cannot even fathom the idea of being into a guy, I could see him making a lot of ' i could kiss you rn, bro' or 'we'd actually be a good couple. You know, if you were a girl.' type jokes. Wei is dying here and also being 'oh god. I've fallen for an idiot. A straight idiot.'
I want to see Bolin being so confused about the feelings he's having about Wei. I want to see Bolin having an 'oh. Oh no' moment and panicking.
I could see him going to Asami and Korra, his cool bisexual big sisters, who are like ' welcome to the club lmao'. I could totally imagine them trying to boost his confidence and encouraging him to ask Wei out. (You know miss Asami 'lemme take this guy i just hit with my motorcycle to Kwong's Cuisine' Sato would hook her boy with the fanciest suits and reservations at expensive restaurants.)
Give me Wei and Bolin awkwardly bumbling through semi-dates. Bolin being too embarrassed and nervous to make a move and Wei being too proud and stressed to do the same. Give me everyone around them being like. Please. Just Get. Together.
Give me the teasing that becomes oddly intimate or awkward. Give me the slow breakdown of personal space between them. Give me the longing.
The painful slow buurn.
