HOTD S1 Rewatch

Ep 5 - We Light the Way

Oh, this one was messy!!!

Viserys dragged himself all the way to Driftmark - he was so desperate to marry Nyra off to the Velaryons 😭

Daemon killing Rhea... *disappointed head shake* RIP Rhea you were too much of a girlboss, Daemon couldn't handle you 😔

Rhaenys was so cute when she entered the Hall of Nine. The way she said "Cousin!" to Viserys gave off the same energy as when Robert said "Caaat!" to Catelyn. It must be the Baratheon blood lol

Ok, so Nyra's conversation with Criston. Even though his offer is ridiculous I did feel bad for him, kind of.

Idk, just the way Fabian delivered his line he just sounded so pathetic😭 and it did hit me a little bit. Especially the way his voice broke when he said "It is the only thing I have to my fcking name!"

But obviously, Nyra declined. She said do you see this platinum blonde wig? Do you see this lace front? I'm not taking care of that on my own lol

No but for real, how was she supposed to say yes to his offer? Yeah she may have complained about her station over the years but she matured and realized this is bigger than her and her desires, as Viserys said in ep 4

OMG WE SEE MELEYS FOR THE FIRST TIME! OUR BEAUTIFUL RED QUEEN! SHE IS SO PRETTY AND I LOVE HER ROAR/SCREAM!

Larys is slimy and shady I don't like him!

We come to the wedding. First of all, I gotta say I hate Nyra's hair! Omg, who thought of that? I like the rubies in the hair but I don't like the way it sits on her head, it looks weird. Also not that big of a fan of her dress. I guess I don't like the design, idk.

Love Laena's dress, she looked great. Daemon also looked great.

The way he just barged in and Viserys let him stay 😭

Jason Lannister is sooo corny with his sexist joke about women, good on Nyra for rolling her eyes at him 🙄

Something I didn't catch on the first watch is that when Alicent enters, everyone stands up except Daemon. I love him for that!👏

My man Harwin looked so good! He and Nyra were so cute dancing!

Not at Daemon heavily flirting with the bride at her own wedding, bye! I know Viserys's blood pressure was through the roof!

Joffrey should've kept his mouth shut, seriously.

Something else I saw people saying on the internet is that Criston as a commoner, wasn't raised at court so he doesn't understand court politics and the way nobles talk. I believe that's also why he fumbled so quickly when Alicent was questioning him.

It wouldn't be a GOT wedding without someone dying, now would it? 💀

I love when Lyonel nods to Harwin and Harwin starts slamming people left and right and the way he picks up Nyra and tosses her over his shoulder? Ughh that should be me!

That shot of Laenor screaming over Jofrey's dead body broke me!

And then, he has to marry someone else he has no interest in while the blood of his lover is still on the floor...sickening!

no wonder I love Fire & Ice Boom Eggman so much more than Rise of Lyric and most of the show, Eggman was written by Pontaff in it unlike RoL I forgot lol. man their Eggman always delights me in general

#I think they wrote an ep or two of Boom too I don't recall cus not a big Boom fan and haven't rewatched in full in years #wonder if I like the Eggman in those eps more too though they'd still be confined by the show more to keep consistent to the show's version #I assume they had more freedom in Fire & Ice so he's meaner 🥰💕💜💖💗💕💖💜 sexy #dr eggman #eggman #dr robotnik #dr. eggman #sonic boom #boom eggman #my post

you don’t understand. i would commit every heinous crime known to man for an original season one script

#oh to get my gay little hands on one of those scripts #i would also like the fire and ice script… #for rikma purposes #ofc #s1 script id want most of all would have to be metamorphosis #but perhaps also ep 7 for the rikki baby moment… #h2o just add water

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON | 1.9 “THE GREEN COUNCIL”

The moment prince Aemond learned that his father, King Viserys I, had passed.

I don't think Daemon got angry because the prophercy was kept hidden from him. In fact, I think he knew about it all along and actually can't stand the fucking thing. He watched Viserys rule and destroy himself in the name of this stupid dream. And now Rhaenyra, who didn't have the proper education to be a ruler, who learned the things she does know from Viserys and now is trying to avoid the same war Daemon is preparing for, speaks of it as an excuse for her (in Daemon's eyes) weak actions. And Daemon won't have it, especially when he knows Rhaenyra is only repeating her father's words.

I just realized what's wrong with the Targaryen wigs in HotD: they don't look like Targaryen hair, they look like they were stolen from the Malfoys. They all share one (1) or at best two wigs in toto and it makes them look like freaking Lucius Malfoy clones

#jokes aside episode 1 was quite good (yes i finally caved in and started watching the fire lizards show) #there were many nice touches that made me go 'mmmmh good stuff.' #1. the juxtaposition of aemma's horrific death in childbirth/the knights killing each other at the tournament #clearly reminiscent of that quote from one of brienne's chapters... heh now i can't fully remember it in english #2. THEY NAME-DROPPED THE SONG OF ICE AND FIRE (which was never even remotely referred to in got) #the whole thing about aegon and the prophecy has been a particularly favorite fan theory of mine for years and i'm happy it's canon #fake lizard monarchs haters gonna hate :)) #tho it's VERY bittersweet considering the got finale... like the prince that was promised was *spins roulette* #a stark all along? like randomly? (and no obviously i'm not talking about jon. he *is* half targaryen after all) #and let's not forget about the true heir being put down like a mad bitch because d&d liked jon better (since he's a man) #and were like 'revolutionary who wants to help people/actually abolished slavery in another continent bad. let's enforce the status quo :))) #(also the double standards. war crimes are okay only if other nobles do it - especially the starks. if you have a dragon and are a woman #and dare to be slightly mortally grey and/or ambitious... in 2 days you're gonna burn children alive!! because ofc.) #..... *cough cough* okay salty rant is over. let's go on with val's hotd first impressions #2. i didn't hate matt smith as daemon and he's particularly good at looking upset and/or sad but i still think he was miscast #3* #like he CAN act and it shows. but it's as if he were making an effort to appear more believable for this role #idk maybe he'll grow on me in the next eps. also his interactions with rhaenyra were a++ but that's nothing new #can't wait for this girl to fuck her uncle ig (...... what did i become skskksks) #4. i also liked rhaenyra&alicent's interactions. this is gonna be another tragic former besties to worsties for me to cry on :((( #5. i mostly liked the costumes. i liked how this is all about the patriarchy (at least so far). i liked the slight but still noticeable #references to the main show (the music. rhaenyra being an obvious dany lookalike. #lord stark pledging his fealty to her while viserys' voice over is speaking about the threat in the north. #viserys telling her 'promise me rhaenyra. promise me' in what i believe is an echo of lyanna's last words to ned... i think? #like it can't be accidental) #god i missed being excited over this stupid and gorgeous series #obv it helps that i actually never read fire&blood (should i?) and i'm only familiar with the events/characters from twoiaf #house of the dragon #val speaks #txt

[accidentallyqueer]

me: i hate the got ending i hate the got ending they fucked up all the characters they explained nothing there's so many holes they ruined everything i hate it i would never recommend got to anyone so they don't suffer the ending like i did

BEAU OUT-DOUCHEBAGGED LUCIEN

#GOOD FOR HER #''YES I'M LOST ALL RIGHT?! YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A DICK ABOUT IT'' #critical role #cr c2 #ep: ice and fire

[wingsyliveblogs]

And that concludes Episode 12!

Wow. A lot of stuff happened in this one. 

Amity was there! Amity’s siblings were there! Luz learned a spell! Luz now knows how to learn more spells!

I think I’ll probably need a bit of time to process all of this, but I really enjoyed how the episode balanced Luz’s two emotional arcs (trying to get closer to Amity, trying to learn from Eda) and managed to tie everything together at both Luz’s lowest point and her following triumph. It was really good. 

(cut for length)

Some vague disconnected thoughts:

I feel as though every episode that Amity is in recontextualises my perception of her role in the opening and ending. Seeing her in the school scene from the ending this time, my thoughts immediately went to the book club she and Luz are planning to set up now. Up until this point, I always felt she was just kind of... there in that shot. Now, there’s a whole different meaning to it! 

Naturally, she’s just watching Luz pass by with a neutral expression because she’s not yet willing to be open about their shared interest in Azura... but it’s still there.

Another thing the credits did was remind me that the last scene was just Alex Hirsch talking to himself, which definitely makes it funnier. 

While the track that Luz is going to be in at Hexside remains a mystery, I must say that if there’s anything I took away from this episode, it’s that she looks good in red. 

I love how naturally Luz and Amity’s relationship is developing. They’ve only recently become proper friends, but they mean a lot to each other already, and it’s really nice to see. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing how their dynamic develops from here...

That said, I must admit that part of me keeps asking, “but what about Amity’s other key friendship?” every time Luz and Amity are being cute and bonding in an episode that Willow and Gus are absent in. I imagine that Luz isn’t going to stand for her friends not getting along with one another for very long, so I’m confident that this issue will be addressed in time. But this thought has been constantly there in the back of my mind since episodes 3 and 6 established this particular source of unresolved tension, so I can’t pretend that I’m not thinking about it. 

Honestly, though, I’m starting to anticipate the comedic potential of either Willow or Amity realising that Luz has somehow become best buds with both of them separately, while they’ve still got all that unresolved angst with each other going on. It’s an impressive move on Luz’s part, to be sure! 

Okay I’ve mostly just been rambling about Amity this whole time. Time to address some other characters!

It’s interesting that Eda’s curse didn’t come up at all in this episode. I assume she must have found some way of managing it, even without the elixir? I can’t imagine that she would take Luz to a remote location alone if there were the possibility of her becoming a danger to Luz while they were there. 

While neither Eda nor King’s emotional issues came to the forefront in this episode, I like that we know them well enough by now to recognise that they’re there. 

Eda’s doing her best to teach Luz, but she can’t always be sure of what she’s doing. It’s clear that she’s disappointed when Luz leaves at the beginning of the episode. It’s clear that she’s anxious for Luz to trust in her teaching methods, and that she’s hurt when Luz doesn’t. There was also a very understated arc of Amity and her siblings doubting Eda at first and then later coming to realise that Eda has actually been cool the whole time, which was fun.

King’s motivation for bringing his minions to life was to have living recruits to order around, but I suspect that he also may just have wanted some company. He was most likely feeling pretty lonely without the others around, even if he didn’t say it in so many words. At least he came to appreciate the one person who was there for him when he needed it most... even if the appreciation lasted for all of five seconds. 

Huh. I guess I had more to say about this episode than I realised. Nice! 

Also, this literally just occurred to me, but this episode served as a continuation of Luz’s journey in learning how to take things slow and be patient. 

Back in Episode 4, Luz’s impatience did aid her in learning her first spell, but it had the unfortunate side effect of putting Eda in danger at the same time. Since that particular aspect of what happened wasn’t directly addressed in the episode itself, I wondered at the time if perhaps Luz’s impatience wasn’t truly considered a problem anymore... 

...but I’m starting to pick up on the fact that this show doesn’t always address every issue that every character has in a single episode. Sometimes, a character saying or doing something that isn’t addressed immediately is setting stuff up for later. In this case, the payoff was in this episode, where Luz pushing to learn a new spell immediately did cause her a lot of trouble that she couldn’t get out of without trying something different, so she had to take her time and find her new spell in a more natural way. 

It’s a really strong, subtle way of building the story and the characters, and it makes me feel as if anything that happens might turn out to be meaningful, even if I don’t realise it yet. 

man this show is good

Whoops, it’s gotten a bit late. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to answer asks tonight, but I’ll get to them as soon as I can! 

Until then, thanks for reading, everyone!

#wingsy liveblogs #wingsy watches owl house #owls ep 12 #also Luz learning an ice spell while Amity learns a fire spell... #the more I think about Luz's second spell being an ice spell the more I love everything about it #it's such an unusual and interesting choice! and it's so distinctly different from the light spell but also has plenty of things in common #it still requires certain resources to cast but it works in a completely different way and it's just really cool???
