To those unsatisfied by the Epilogue of Holy Sister, remember the Prologue of Red Sister:
Hers the unvoiced everything of first love, tongue-tied, ineloquent, the refusal to sully so sharp and golden a feeling with anything as blunt as words.
No further words are needed to appreciate the special bond between Nona and Ara.

Nona sat up, wiping her face on her blanket. “Lucky the name worked! Sounds like in another minute you’d be […] trying a kiss like that prince in the old story.”
Ara looked quickly down at her feet.
“You didn’t!” Nona jumped out of bed, reaching for her skirts.
Ara flashed a grin.
— Red Sister
Damn the subtext is THICK.

Went on a Fleurmione binge…
…after deciding out of nowhere to check out the Potterverse f/f scene. I’ve read quite a number of fics since then and have some standouts I want to commend.
These 3 fics are amazing in their own right for many, many reasons that if I started breaking down every thought I have about them, I’d be droning on which I do not want to do. So instead, I simply wish to air out what makes these 3 stand out for me in comparison to other fics in their general category.
Favorite Veela Mates fic — Sometimes You’ve Got to Bleed to Know, by jump_the_gunn
I love how the Veela Mates element in this fic is not heavy-handed. How it’s only hinted at in the beginning before it’s slowly unveiled. How it’s understated and not the sole focus of Fleurmione’s budding relationship.
Favorite Post-Hogwarts fic — What You Don’t Know, by zerodawn22
3rd Person Limited is hands down my favorite POV in written media and this fic delivers it well. Confining the reader to Hermione’s POV lends an element of intrigue to Fleur’s POV as if it’s a mystery to be solved.
Favorite Tri Wizard Tournament fic — Cruel Intentions, by Perpetual_Nonsense
It’s a breath of fresh air to see Ron and Viktor written in a respectable light. I’ve read too many fics that paint them as one-dimensional assholes which practically displays the author’s biases against these characters. Instead of turning hated characters into punching bags, why not make them into the kinds of characters you would actually like to see? I feel like Cruel Intentions did exactly this with Ron and Viktor extremely well.
The short of it:
I like stories that don’t revolve exclusively on the romance.
I like writing styles which lend an air of mystery to non-POV characters.
I like when authors constructively build on a character, making them better than their canon counterparts.
Okay. Back to finding more stories to read.

Why is Hermione x Narcissa and Hermione x Andromeda a thing? I kinda get where Hermione x Bellatrix came from. But why the others? Why is Hermione shipped with the Black sisters?

Naya didn’t break out of character during “My Cup”
Tumblr media
Santana caught on that the song was secretly about their “sweet lady kisses”.
But then Brittany started singing the chorus, “My cup, my cup,” turning her amusement into shock...
Tumblr media
...and then disappointment that the song wasn’t about her.

Ivy to Harley, S01E01
“I love you... in an odd, hard-to-articulate way.”
Ivy to Harley, S01E03
“I... I love you. Don’t make a thing of it...”

What’s great about this scene is...
Tumblr media
...how the gossiping girls stop talking right when Ellie and Aster make eye contact and how there aren’t even any subtitles for these few precious seconds.
The pause in the dialogue takes away the possibility that Aster might just be amused with whatever inane things the girls are saying. It emphasizes that Aster’s smile was directed only at Ellie and not because of anything else.
And the pause in the subtitles prompts the viewers, especially those who might be too consumed reading them, to look up and really notice this little exchange.
This scene practically encourages the viewer to glance at the subtitles to catch whatever the gossiping girls are saying. But when the subtitles suddenly stop, instinct will prompt the viewer to look up and the first thing that’ll be noticed is Aster’s smile.
It’s almost as if this scene is attempting to put the viewer in Ellie’s shoes. One moment, they’re looking down (Ellie at the sink and the viewer at the subtitles), then the next moment they see is this ray of sunshine:

Nothing can convince me this wasn’t intended by Alice Wu.

Maybe I’m overthinking things, but it’s been said that Alice Wu is very particular about each shot and detail in her movies. So does anyone know what this shot is trying to portray?
Tumblr media
We see Ellie’s arms are completely submerged so only her legs are visible. Aster’s is the opposite, kinda, since only one arm is visible.
I think it has something to do with the opening that says how humans originally had 4 arms and 4 legs, but were torn apart so they needed to find their other half.
In this shot’s case, though, only 3 limbs are visible. I would’ve thought both of Aster’s arms would be visible in this because then, they’re not fully “whole” as described in the myth, but what’s important is they’d complement each other by filling in for the other’s missing limbs.
So then, why does Aster have only one arm visible instead of two? Is it because she’s not ready to “complement” Ellie yet because she still needs “a couple years” to figure herself out?
I really wish we had the option to watch this with Alice Wu’s commentary like in Saving Face.

Rewatching Tangled the Series. Only halfway through Season 2 so far, but I noticed how Cass’s wardrobe is interestingly significant...
Her handmaiden outfit was too bright and restrictive, it obviously did not suit her as the natural fighter she is. Her brown travelling clothes are so bland it makes her fade in the background, especially when compared to Rapunzel and Eugene’s vibrant clothes. And her Moonstone outfit warped her to the point she’s no longer recognizable as the Cass we know from the first 2 seasons.
Sure, the black of her armor and sword reflects her role as a fighter that the handmaiden outfit never could. Sure, the bright blue of her hair gives her the vibrancy that her bland brown outfit never did. But it’s simultaneously too bright and too dark. There’s no balance to it that it looks like she’s unsure of who she is.
All that makes her green outfit in the series finale especially more notable. The green is unrestrictive and dark enough it suits her personality, unlike her handmaiden outfit. The green distinguishes her from the other characters that she no longer fades in the background, unlike her travelling outfit. The green matches her eyes, highlights it, and gives her the type of vibrancy that the blue of the Moonstone never could. It’s not too bright nor too dark. It’s perfectly balanced and it looks like she’s found who she’s meant to be.
Lastly, I really missed protective!Cass. It’s why I didn’t enjoy Season 3 quite as much.

What is this feeling
So sudden and new?
I felt the moment
I laid eyes on you
My pulse is rushing
My head is reeling
My face is flushing
What is this feeling?
Fervid as a flame
Does it have a name?
My 1st time watching Wicked, all I could think about was how gay these lyrics were.

Headcanons:
Ariel, Jasmine, and Pocahontas are at their strongest when Esmeralda joins them. But she’s barely around because as a gypsy she prefers to roam.
Tiana’s problem when morphing is nobody understands her when she talks. That problem is mended whenever Jane is around to help.
Anna and Elsa can only use their powers when they’re in close proximity. Anna acts as Elsa’s knight, like a “shield”. Imagine her indestructible Ice form with the Ice sword she grabs in FII.
Giselle’s teleportation extends through dimensions, planets, and timelines.
Merida looks up to Mulan as a mentor. They spar frequently, compete in archery, and take Khan and Angus to race. Belle occasionally joins them with Pilippe when she’s not burying herself in library books. Belle and Mulan are primarily in charge of team tactics.
Kida transforms to pure energy whenever she uses her powers. But she becomes a danger to anyone near her since her powers are difficult to control. Only Rapunzel can help get her out of her energy state if ever she goes too far.
The reasons why honorary members aren’t formally part of the team: Esmeralda doesn’t like being tied down to one place. Megara isn’t a team player. Jane is busy working on other projects. Kida’s powers are too dangerous, she’d rather not join. Lilo and Boo are too young. Giselle is a visitor from a different dimension.
