OK everyone hear me out, Raine and Adrian are like complete opposites, yet they could've had such a good dynamic going on if the show didn't get shortened.
They main thing they have in common is that their type of magic (bard and illusion) are very centered on putting on a performance or at least being on a type of stage.
It is from here that they start to differ. Mostly with personality and roles.
Starting with Raine having stage fright and most of the time, they're shown to be on a stage/front and center.
Meanwhile Adrian loves being in the spotlight and lives for drama, yet is seen to place himself as a director behind the scenes of his illusions as a preference.
Deapite their differences, one thing's for sure is that they both love what they do (music and directing)
I also find it ironic/funny that they're the only coven heads with jewelry and it's in the form of an earring, yet they wear it on different ears.
And of course the most obvious difference it that they're on opposing sides with Raine being a rebel, and Adrian working for Belos.
(Not to mention that Raine is the first covenhead we meet and Adrian is the last)
So with this in mind, could you imagine how they'd interact with each other?
Like there's a lot of potential here for interactions they could've had if the show didn't get shortened and allowed them to have screen time.
Of course Adrian will tease Raine about their stage fright and flubbing simple lines and Raine telling Adrian straight up he's the Boiling Isles worst director.
Adrian telling Raine to get a fashion sense and Raine hates it and his style.
Titan forbid they're paired together for any kind of mission because of course Adrian would so try to order Raine around so he could trick people with his illusions with Raine hidden behind one.
Not to mention, what if they both went to St. Epiderm? They probably know a lot of dirt about each other.
Despite all this I do like to think that they like similar music (classical music) and understand how music is important to adding to scenes/cinema.
I like to imagine that both of them can tell what constitutes as good vs bad music and when they hear bad music, they just agree it's the worst thing to hear.
I also like to headcannon that sometimes Raine will play some music just because they like to and Adrian most of the time will yell at them to stop. But occasionally if he likes the music they're playing, he'll listen but never tell them.
Like I swear, there was potential to be had here and in my opinion they should've interacted on screen.
Seriously, they're just two diametrically opposed theater/choir kids with dumb queer energy.

I can't say I entirely regret it
But I will admit blazing the Angry Codywan posts i made last night at 2 AM may not have been my finest moment

Let’s talk Paige for a second. Cause’ man oh man is she a doozy of a character concept.
Because if Beck sparks discussion about fighting for free will in a system that demands conformity then Paige is a crazy crazy occurrence.
She’s a medic! Her whole job is to heal people! And she does the exact opposite! So how come she isn’t just tolerated, but celebrated in CLU’s regime?
Answer: because it’s not conformity they want. At least not quite. It’s obedience. Abide by your function. But if you’re willing to kill for us then function be damned. If you’re willing to blindly obey orders then who cares what you were made to do.
Paige could have been a security monitor. But no, she was a medic.
Arguably the least likely candidate for becoming someone who’s job description is ‘kill anyone that gets in the way’. And yet she is and she does.
I think it’s an awesome exploration of the idea that no one is immune to radicalism. No matter how benign you start out. How pure in intention. Oligarchies can twist anything and anyone to their purpose and suddenly someone who set out to heal and to help can have a graveyards worth of death on their hands and oppression of the ones they swore to heal on their resume.
And like! You can still see some of the qualities that made her a medic in the truest sense. She’s just so goddamn genuine and oddly trusting . She’s creative and a problem solver. Whenever there’s a crisis she doesn’t hesitate she just acts. She THINKS she’s doing the right thing even as she sentences programs to death by gladiatorial arena.
It’s wild is what I’m saying.

You know what it would be absolutely heartbreaking?
If season three started just like season two, with Luz recording a video in which she talks about how she is adjusting, about every detail of the world, how her life is going and how she is working hard to figure out how to come back, because she misses everyone.
Except she's not recording it for Camila, but for Eda, and she's talking about all the things of the human world Eda could like, about how her friends are adjusting to a new world, about how desperately she misses her and King but is working hard to come back and to help them.
And then Amity, Gus and Willow enter the message too, speaking to their parents (well, Amity only to her father and siblings), and Hunter stays behind, except that two split seconds in which he pops in to ask Darius if he's allright. And then, Camila speaks, briefly thanking Eda for having kept Luz safe.
