I’m listening to the Codename Villanelle audiobook. I…am so disappointed. Good on the show runners, writers, and cast for elevating something underwhelming into peak brain rot fuel. I appreciate the show so much more now. What a cursed reality. The desired ending in meh book format. The undesired ending in quality screen format.
OK REAL GENUINE THEORY TIME bc i've been watching the finished KHUX dub after the KHML trailer.
What if the reason that the Player is able to retain their form/age when reincarnating in KHML is because there was already a body waiting for them upon reentry into the living world. Let me explain.
In the ending of KHUX, Luxu enters the Ark room with a body in tow, placing it into the lifeboat so that it may find it's way to the future, calling it "The True Dandelion".
Initially many (including myself) believed that this was Strelitzia and her white coat, sending her off potentially to quadratum for KH4 plot reasons. But, when we last see Strelitzia in KHUX, she is following a man in a black coat out of the scene.
I believe that the person escorting Strelitzia out is the MoM, as they both appear in quadratum, While the figure Luxu is loading into the lifeboat is a vessel for the player to take shape in Missing Link. This would explain why the player falls out of the sky, and ends up washed up onto the beach much like Kairi when she first arrived on the destiny islands via Ark travel
I dont know exactly what this means or why Luxu would rig the player's trajectory to land in Scala, but i believe he has some kind of plan and that we are very critical to it.
Smth about the way Simon says “he likes my singing” and Wille responds with an affronted “SO DO I?!?!”
The messy circumstances around their relationship give them plenty of serious stuff to argue over, and they do! But this lil exchange just felt like immature teenagers bickering and in love and I’m here for it. It’s what they deserve <3
HOW DOES TROLLS HAVE THE BEST REPRESENTATION EVER??
(spoilers for trolls 3 below)
we get asexual representation with trolls having kids by themselves, we have physical disability representation with a troll in a wheelchair (and im pretty sure there were other instances in the other movies but i cant remember), we get freaking agoraphobia representation with poppys sister???? that one was wild /pos and i was so happy to see it. we get interracial (sorta?? thats how i see it) with bruce and his wife, not to mention bruce changing his name. love to see that. ALSO bruce doesnt have abs anymore and no one batted an eye or did the sterotypical thing we always see in media of "ahhh you let urself go" or tried to shame him or anything. they were just like "oh nice ur a dad now. thats wild man." we got healthy communication with branch and poppy. aND WE GOT KINK TALK??? WITH BRIDGET SAYING SHE DIDNT KNOW BOTH HER AND GRISTLE WERE GONNA END UP TIED UP???
if i’ve said it before i’ll say it 29394947 times. i really don’t care at all for joy’s characterisation of charles’ ��flaws” because to me that old man is clearly autistic or neurodivergent in some way. she basically admitted to knowing him for 30 years and in all that time was waiting for him to change traits about himself that are clearly a part of who he is
i thought she would be screaming and ruthless in that way that she gets when it’s laudna on the line, i thought she would demand that laudna be brought back, that they fix this and choose her
but instead she just kept blubbering apologies, and she was quiet and sad and broken and drained, and i wonder if part of the reason why she didn’t even put up a word of protest when fearne chose orym was because she felt that in some way, she deserved this. it’s her fault.
but isn’t that horrible? laudna’s death is not just a consequence for imogen, her life means so much more, imogen would never leave a choice like that up to something as petty as her own guilt—but still, imogen stayed quiet. and if they can’t fix this, they have to fix this, that’s going to be another thing to live with
For real though. If I was A LOT more annoying of a person I would make another blog solely to append an obnoxious "WHY DO YOU HATE FANG?" banner onto every post that suggests Edward somehow didn't hurt / injure / do harm to / traumatize / etc anyone except Izzy, and that we're supposed to view Kraken era as uncritically sympathetic to Edward and "he did nothing inexcusable once you consider how hurt he was".
I love Edward... but Fang.
His best friend is dead. He almost fell off the ship trying to save the nameless crew members in the storm. He couldn't even eat his cake.
Like, all the crying and Jim's hardcore rewrite of the wooden boy story got to me, okay?
😭
Edward you better apologize. I know you were going through it, but #JusticeforFang
people who are freaking out online about them confirming who dropped the first bomb in the fallout show are being goofy. i watched from start to finish and at no point do they confirm that
