Lmao Alastor is the first character I can confidently say is giving "I'm fucking with your wife" like we are conspiracing a revolution and not "I'm fucking your wife" to Lucifer
And I'm incredibly pleased

this is going to be pure word vomit, but wow. okafor being as important to the entire story of the ones who live despite dying in the first episode was insane and incredible writing. the parallel between him and rick coming full circle at the end, with rick remembering the last thing okafor said before dying and not letting beale manipulate him at the echelon meeting. okafor retroactively being revealed to have never "died" as rick never really did, deep down, because he warned rick about the sword. the ONLY time he snapped was when rick insisted he had nothing, because he didn't have nothing. he always kept his wife's sacrifice in mind, just as rick always kept michonne in mind, even after he chose to "die," because he did this not being able to escape, but he could at least still build a better future for michonne and their children. rick switching sides, just like okafor did, and destroying the CRM's army to save everyone else. the story about rick's father and the burning crops...and okafor being someone who was someone who was researching and growing crops, whereas beale was stealing resources from other communities and destroying them. like okafor knew the CRM had to be destroyed so something new could grow, and he genuinely had a plan to do that and saw a future where more could grow, but beale only ever saw destruction in the future and used violence so that his own community could grow. beale telling rick that both the walkers and them are dead, whereas okafor told rick that all people are his people, everyone alive. beale had spies in other communities to help keep him informed and to help destroy those communities, whereas okafor trusted rick and told him the truth plainly, despite this going against beale's aims and potentially endangering his life, and rick finding his strength in trusting michonne, and lack of trust being what undoes thorne and jadis.
i'm just. wow. donald okafor the perfect morally grey character that you are ....

they spent the first half of the episode making it absolutely clear that Haruka and Michiru were being chill and looking after baby Hotaru and her dad, so them showing up on the top of the ruins, Michiru playing the fucking violin, and then provoking Usagi and the other girls into a fight is sooooo fucking hilarious
because they knew Usagi was right at this point. They knew she was the messiah, and they knew they were gonna leave this fight by basically swearing allegiance to her. they weren't even bothered by it, it seemed. they had like fully accepted all of this and were ok with it.
but FIRST they were gonna show up and be dramatic haters one last time

You know, sometimes I want an AU where the lycthor trials were put off for like 5 years. Because in all honesty I feel like Gideon and Harrow would have either killed/mutilated each other, settled into hate sex, or genuinely made up their differences
They would have shown up at Canaan house, Gideon with a skeleton arm Harrow occasionally manipulates to make her punch herself. Harrow with an eyepatch and bunch of scars. People would have been like "wtf is going on in the Ninth," and the answer is just lesbians
THIS IS BRILLIANT, TY. I think they would keep taking bits off each other even after they've settled their differences because it was a formative moment in their early stages (= hatefucking) and now it's just a whole Thing for them :3
I. I want to write this bc it should exist

THE WHITE DOOR
He never called her “the woman he loved” until she was dead in his arms.
Her killer was a a man whom Bastian admired; but Bastian wronged him anyway, and he was savage and exacting in his vengeance. So: Bastian too is savage and exacting, and far less admirable.
Though revenge provided no abatement of his grief, it was required by the circumstances.
It is not enough by far.
He readies his companions to set out for the continent of Death itself. He knows only one man who has been there, and that man returned blinded, bitter, and heartbroken: but the dark prince loves his wife, and a knife will not keep him from her. Nor will the endless miles of the white countries, nor the threat of mutilation, nor the will of any God.
He expects horror. He will bring it himself.
His wise wife, his fairy wife: he trusts she knows that he is coming.
