I like how the dark fae we've heard of so far don't really have a type/preference. They just love who they love and don't really think about anything else. They really don't think and just go for it. Meleanor, Mama Zigvolt, and of course our very own gargoyle-obsessed prefect-appreciator Malleus. 😌

I love reimagining Sofia the First episodes where Elena is inside the Amulet of Avalor from her perspective. You’re a sixteen-year-old heir to the throne trapped in a gemstone as a disembodied spirit with murdered parents, living family still in danger, a colonized country in need of liberation and untreated PTSD who nobody around you even knows exist. This has been your life for thirty-nine years by the time you finally find someone who might have the potential to free you. But first, you have to help her grow as a person. And all of these shenanigans keep happening. What was she thinking the whole time?
Sofia: (boasting to her friends about getting to sing the Enchancian anthem)
Elena: Oh my God, shut up. You sound like Esteban, and not in a good way.
Elena, a teenager and older sibling who hasn’t had the chance to tease anyone in roughly four decades: So… you’re expected to sing in front of a huge crowd tomorrow? Would be a shame. If something were to. Happen.
***
Amber: (deceives and manipulates Sofia and steals her amulet for personal gain)
Elena: You fucking brat! How dare you take advantage of your own sister’s trust after she’s been nothing but kind to you? Don’t you know how lucky you are? I would do anything to be able to just see my little sister again, talk to her, hug her, know that she’s safe and okay, let alone make her happy myself. You have so much, but you’re too spoiled rotten to appreciate it. You mistreat your family? Fine. Let’s see how you like them being threatened by an evil sorceress trying to take over your kingdom! ‘Cause trust me, it isn’t fun. Learn to be selfless or lose everything you’ve ever had! A BITCH FOR A BITCH!
***
Ivy: (takes the amulet to destroy it, which would kill Elena)
Elena: Shit.
***
Cedric: (deceives and manipulates Sofia and steals her amulet for personal gain)
Elena, who’s been onto him since day one, but feels completely unthreatened: You could be coveting any source of powerful magic, but no, you want the only one that you already know has a moral compass and will curse you for doing wrong. Genuine question: what are you doing with your life? I’m just gonna give you literal sticky fingers, and I’ll revoke that if you’re nice. You obviously don’t need much help to fail.
***
Miranda and Roland: (have sweet, bond-affirming moments with their children as good parents)
Elena: Aw, that’s nice. That’s - that’s nice. I’m fine.
***
Sofia: (is ten)
Elena: I’m so proud of Sofia. I think it’s time to enlist her to release me. Now how can I communicate that? Visions of Shuriki killing my parents and trying to kill me will get her started, right?

My favorite thing is that the entire Flash family is cool with Wally freezing Thad in place.
Wally was all "I'm going to do the worst thing I can think of." Literally. Literally that was his thought process.
He's well aware that freezing someone in time so that they are mentally aware but unable to move, and then placing them on display at a museum is a bad thing to do. He just doesn't care.
And then Iris wants to know what happened to Thad. And Wally just tells her. He outlines, in great detail, exactly how he broke the Geneva Convention.
And Iris' response?!?
"Good. When are you doing it to the rest of the Rogues?"
And then Jay found out later and he just... nodded at Wally in solidarity and moved on.
I just... this family is so fucking ride or die when it comes to each other. Thad killed Bart. He killed Bart. So they were all completely fine with this.
I love them all so much.

would you do bird hunting with Aurora given the opportunity? (I dont follow anyone who does hunting with their dogs and it would be interesting to see!)
I'm back and forth on it honestly. Ideally yeah, I'd love to give her the opportunity to hunt and be fulfilled that way. But there are a couple of things I'm struggling with:
I don't have access to training birds myself, nor the knowledge (or desire) to go at training her seriously alone.
Most gundog trainers (incl. my local brittany person who's been helping me out) expect you to go all in, birds should be your priority over all else (including general good dog manners).
Currently, pointing dog training in North America tends towards "make dogs bird obsessed -> introduce gunfire -> reign in the dogs so they're steady". The problems with this (for me) is that I don't want a bird obsessed dog at all and I don't want to use the pressure expected/required for "reigning it back in".
I had a really demoralizing experience trying to learn more about shotgun sizing and I'm not keen to try again.
So in conclusion, maybe but probably not to a serious extent.

I’m curious about your thoughts on Van and the crash itself. Since then, the whole team has been through A LOT (putting it mildly) but Jackie left her stuck there. Do you think that impacted her relationship with Shauna and Jackie? Had she forgiven Jackie before she froze? Which now has me realizing how opposite their situations were. Burning and freezing… sorry that’s off track. Not sure where this rabbit hole thought came from but I’m associating it with your amazing writing. I think my point was (in Van voice): the universe can throw all sorts at you, but they were/are a team.
I absolutely think it impacted her way of looking at Jackie specifically. Shauna, probably to a lesser extent, because Shauna did try to get her out. Shauna was screaming for her as Jackie hauled her away. I don't know how much of that Van remembers, and how much is just a wash of blackout terror, but she doesn't really seem to treat Shauna with any malice in the aftermath. Jackie, though.
I think a huge part of her palpable disgust re: Jackie is the fact that Jackie left her, but also the fact that Jackie doesn't pick up a skill in the aftermath. Like you've got Shauna with the knife, Misty with the medical skills, Mari cooking, Travis and Natalie hunting, everyone else scavenging and doing laundry and whatever else is neccessary along the way--and then Jackie's just complaining. That's not teamwork. It's a weak link. Van's looking at her going "oh, the one thing you WOULD do was leave me, and otherwise it's just all about you?" Like the worst thing a person can do, from the perspective of a team, is sit back and not participate. And from Jackie's POV it makes sense: she's in the grip of utter despair, it's killing her slowly, she's made of bleak terror. But from everyone else's view? From Van's? She's being selfish.
You ask if I think Van forgave Jackie before she froze, and to that I have to point out: Jackie dies immediately after Doomcoming. And what is Van's last real verbalization about Jackie before everything really goes to chaos at Doomcoming? "That's sooo Jackie." Jackie's disappearing with Travis? Jackie's taking something that doesn't belong to her? Jackie's being selfish? That's so Jackie. Van by this point seems to be throwing the full weight of her own fear into reviling who Jackie's become in the woods. It started with Jackie leaving her, yeah, but worse: Jackie's not helping them survive. That, I think, feels unforgivable--at least until the worst happens.
It's one of the most telling moments of Jackie's death dream, that Van is front and center with the we all love you, Jackie. Because: no. No, she wouldn't be smiling at you. No, she absolutely would not say that. She hasn't forgiven you. Only in your final dreams.

You think that if Mirin and Y/N haven’t meet each other in such a bad situation, they could have been friends? In fact, the exactly question is if Mirin is a girls girl, yk what I mean? Like, she’s an asshole just with y/n? Or she’s like that with any other woman. When I read the chapter I couldn’t help but think about Mirin as a girl that says “I only hang with men bc they’re more loyal” or that kind of shit
yknow what, i’ve actually never thought of that situation. but let’s see - i actually have a lot of mirin lore that i didn’t get to develop since this was supposed to be a “short” series lol
mirin is the type to just make friends with guys (because from experience, they’re easier to let loose around AND in a bad way… easier to “control” since they tend to be nicer to her). this doesn’t mean she’s fully aware of it though. she has trouble getting along with girls BUT lets say if she met yn normally, yn would be the type of friend she needed tbh. mirin tends to push people away, and yn doesn’t let that happen easily. mirin could be a brand new friend and by yn’s character she would wanna help. in a way, it would’ve helped mirin a lot personally if she made friends with yn outside of all this drama …
tldr, yn would be the friend mirin always needed/wished she could have :’)
