I did not expect to end Treason shipping Eli and Vah'nya, I fully expected to find them the typical shoed in pairing after the publishers saw the main pair to come out of the first book was gay.
But Zahn did great starting off with telling their feelings then showing their trust in each other. How deep it goes. How she trusts him to kill her and the little ones, how deep the trust is that Un'hee's mind knows to trust him. How he shares info with her. How he doesn't choose to see Thrawn at the end, but remains on the Steadfast when they're finally safe.
And the brainrot of the years to follow- because they have time. They have time to fall in love past their early crush and friendship. I have so much post Treason thoughts that I've only had in my mind for 11 hours but also-they have time and years and Thranto doesn't and it's so much funner to explore the time after Treason. At least until we get Ahsoka :/ But Ahsoka has so much room to screw so much up in my eyes. I'm terrified of Ahsoka screwing up my Rebels and Chiss families.
It's sweet to imagine them caring for Un'hee. Helping her through her trauma over the next couple years until she's calling them mom and dad and after their sights fade, they adopt her and give her a little sibling and she's never forced to babysit-they want her to be a teenager, but she spends hours with their bio kids, so gentle with them. So they never have to feel the harshness she and their parents went through. Un'hee is the gentlest big sister in the galaxy and it breaks their heart now shared hearts-because they remember the traumatized seven-year-old girl who clung to them, only trusting them and Ar'alani. And she'll do anything to protect their children from the darkness that threatens outside the walls of the life they all fought to have together.
But that's the point. They have each other, their family of four or five and that's all they've needed in the world. It's fun and sweet and that's why they're fun.
I have ideas and I kinda feel guilty because I started out shipping Thranto and I do but literally everyone does so I feel wrong to ship Eli with someone else but screw it. People ship Eli and Kallus. I can go the bi route and ship Eli and Vah'nya.
(I think what did me in was the hand thing in Treason. How he went to remove his from her shoulder and she grabbed it. It's my Pride and Prejudice era heart loving simple gestures like meaningful hand holding)

More doodles from divine highness au. I imagine it would be neat if Harrow was groomed to be Kiriona's advisor. She can rock the evil vizier aesthetic while trying and failing to babysit this spoiled oafish god-prince

Starting to think many don't really know what a filler episode is if they think all of these are filler. A filler episode isn't just a one-off story, but normally something that just feels like it is utterly forgettable and disposable and mainly there to fill out the schedule because the writers didn't have any better ideas. Episodes like Move Along Home, The Storyteller, Second Sight, The Muse, Let He Who Is Without Sin, Resurrection, Profit and Lace, etc. The type of episodes many will just skip on a rewatch.

Someone needs to say it: The "Heaven is actually bad" plot line that Hazbin is based around is useless when you spend more then 2 minutes thinking about Vivzie's Hell and her characters.
Besides it being much too early for this idea, the revelation that Heaven or at least the beings running it aren't good people has little to no impact when the people who are being harmed by this are all horrible people. Stay with me here. None of these people are people who were unfairly brought into hell and we are never ever introduced to someone who was either. Why should we care that Heaven is "evil" and blocking redemption when all the sinners in hell we see are the worst of the worst who would have never gotten in even if it was fair.
For the "Heaven is bad" plot line to actually work, you need people who were just one sin away from Heaven, who would've gotten into Heaven if circumstance hadn't forced them down a path that stole it from them. You need characters who aren't comedic villains but land in the middle of morally grey. Those who deserved to be in Heaven but because Heaven refused to consider their circumstances, they were tossed to burn with people much worse than them. Those are the people who should be your main cast cause those are the people who would actually be impacted by Heaven being bad/ Heaven lying.
Angel dust, for all his trauma, was still part of the mafia and likely had killed people before (showing to almost take joy in it). Husk became an overlord and gambled souls, so he had to have had blood on his hands before hell. Alastor is a serial killer, and the list goes on and on. Sure, these characters are (somewhat) interesting, but they don't make for good characters to have when the key plot line is that Heaven is a scam. Even if that fact is true, none of them were ever going to get there in the first place and this is something we also se in every single background sinner shown in Hell too. They were never close to getting there, so why would they or we care that Heaven is bad when all sinners are shown to be horrific people who are at best in the dark grey area of morality.
If you look at it from the "angel's are unfairly killing sinners" route, it still doesn't work. If the angels are killing them, what makes it different then the sinner on sinner violence that hell is full off? Why is them dying by angels this bad thing when they are just as likely if not 10x times more likely to get knifed in the back by other sinners in hell the other 364 days, especially when everyone here apparently is just as horrible as the next person. You cannot condemn the angels for killing demons and then make a joke of out sinners killing each other and never show sinners who doesn't want to kill people. Life either matters or it doesn't and when the main cast doesn't even show a care for life (outside of Charlie's who's entire flaw is her naivety), why should the audience.
On top of that, Vivzie's whole overpopulation aspect and the Heaven plot line would connect better if she actually had people like those I mentioned above, people who stole to survive but got tossed out cause stealing is technically wrong, people who killed another to protect someone else but were still sent to hell because even though they saved that person's life that person wasn't supposed to be saved, people who passively engaged in sins but never really did anything harmful under them. This would add into how Hell is so overpopulated and highlight why its so important that Heaven is evil/ why Charlie's plan isn't just a naive pathetic fever dream.
In the end, Vivzie should have never made Heaven the central plot of this show nor tried to assign this blatant good vs evil to that conflict. Neither her characters nor her writing choices are able to respond to this conflict in a way that will end or even tell the story in a satisfactory manner.
