May I be permitted to talk about something I'm really proud of???
Ok so, I joined a local dance group last year. It's a vintage chorus girl group that does 20s-70s dance styles (think Charleston, 60s go-go, etc).
We're the resident showgirls at a monthly burlesque show, and for a local lounge/jazz/big band group here in socal. I have preformed more in this last year than I have in years. Honestly maybe ever??? We have easily 2+ gigs a month.
I'm coming up on my one year anniversary of joining this group and I am just so freaking proud of myself! Getting gigs as a plus size dancer is freaking HARD. Especially in the vintage crowd. But I've worked my ass off and I kinda just want to give myself a pat on the back lol (and the group I'm part of, cause not every group would pick a plus size dancer...)
Like wtf?? Who is she?? This woman has birthed two children?
I'm so embarrassed and I feel like this is so cringe but also I'm proud of myself so whatever: I have an Instagram for my stage persona and if anyone was interested in following.... you could... if you wanted.
Here it is
Mostly I just post random stuff there from performances. but if you happen to be local to socal you can also find out where we are performing.
Ok... anyway... as you were. *hides*

Because it is his fault. At least in part.
It had been implied from the start of the Grim Reaper arc that this sacrifice was a No.6 and No.7 idea. Both were in on it.
Hanako knows Nene is a Kannagi, and that Hakubo's history is heavily associated with Kannagi sacrifices, but when they talk about urabon and the rampant amount of supernaturals roaming the school in chapter 61, Hanako is eager to make No.6 take care of it.
Which he wouldn't have, if he had thought there was even the slightest of chances Hakubo would go after Nene.
When Nene asks for his help he also refuses. This should be a "students is in danger because a mystery is out of control, I gotta do my job and save them!" situation, like when Aoi got lost in the Misaki stairs.
But he is reluntant to give information.
He loves to be by Nene's side, he is clingy, but he refused to join her on the elevator before Akane 'threatened him' and openly discouraged her from saving Aoi.
Hanako is usually our main exposition for School Mysteries at this point in the manga, but he keeps lying in No.6 boundary too.
He uses a lot of '...' in his explanation about Hakubo, lacking his usual confidence, and going out of his way to make No.6 feel more 'peaceful' than it was established at the mysteries meeting.
It's also revealed later, that he had been aware of Aoi's death plan, and the consequences of it (the severance). There was no mystery about Hakubo's plans, that was just another lie to play oblivious. The reason he said "No.6 can take care of urabon!" is because he always knew No.6 could start a severance.
No.6 also acts weird.
When he sees intruders he comments on Akane but his biggest focus is clearly Hanako.
He usually has a neutral expression but he looks confused to see Hanako here. We also get a big panel of Hanako looking directly at whatever Hakubo uses to deliver him images of intruders, as if to imply he knows more than he lets on.
No.6 seems surprised to see him, but he doesn't go "what is a school wonder doing here?" nor does he assume Hanako is here to get her back, despite Nene and Akane having tried to rescue Aoi before.
He expects Hanako to meet him at some point.
The confirmation comes in the severance.
He tells us Aoi's death is his way to grant Nene's wish. Acting sad but not surprised about the idea of saying goodbye.
This is not a reaction of someone who went "What a turn of events! So this is what is happening! I can take advantage of that."
This is the calm reaction of someone who expected something like this to unfold. Later, he is explicit in his intentions again, explaining to Nene why he kept it secret.
Only Nene thought this was a plan to rescue Aoi. Hanako never had the intention to do so.
This was mostly his own wish for her to live, disguised as a wish for Nene.
So I was not surprised when he tried to keep her dead on Aoi's rescue arc.
Hanako may not have pushed her down that hole, but he wanted her dead from the start.

honestly the debate about whether feyre was qualified or not to be high lady wouldn't be such a big deal if the story stopped trying to frame her as the best at everything. it's ok if the only reason she is initially made high lady was to make her rhys' equal in the sense that he does not hold more power over her, and technically, legally, cannot command her, or force her to do anything. she's his mate, so he feels comfortable doing that very early on into the relationship. it's a statement of his love and trust of her, or rather, his respect of her as her own person. but as @ofbreathandflame elaborates on here, it doesn't actually say anything about feyre herself, and to claim that she has done something to earn being high lady causes problems and conflict, because, well, she didn't. she didn't earn the title at all. there are qualities she possesses that may give her the potential to be a good leader, but she is not there already.
and then of course there's the problem that even if the story focused on rhys 'making feyre his equal', there's still confusion, because she fundamentally is not his equal. and it's never elaborated on because sjm can't without highlighting the contradictory nature of it all, but rhys did not arbitrarily become high lord because he earned the support and was sworn in. it's not clear when a high lord begins his reign officially, but it's implied that it starts when the magic 'chooses' them. the magic chose rhys, not feyre, and that fact will always mean that he holds some level of power over her. and that's a whole other topic with no real solution, but i don't think it would be as much as a problem if the story didn't try so hard to insist that that dynamic did not exist at all.
and to be clear im not trying to criticise or shit on feyre, this is more in defense of her than anything. girl deserves better than being lied to.
