Wizard 101: Hey kid, you just got pulled into Wizard School, and it looks like you're ready to start. Go down that path and someone will teach you to fight. Oh shit, that's Malistare, uhhhh, *one minor battle later* Good job kid. Go and do some little quests and beat up some fairies, you're doing great! :)
Pirate 101: You're in jail. Pirates are breaking you out of jail! They're... asking about your trauma. You're a pirate, an orphan, the son of a whore and a scotsman, you were raised by another group of people, now you're pulling a jail break and helping other prisoners escape! A uhhh, a guy threatens to murder you. He's the one who locked you up. The pirate guy almost dies and you have to drive his ship??? *one stressful sail later* Hey kid, go beat up this guy who stole from me. I'm gonna cheat and scam you, btw, just so you know. :)

actually crazy how much I'm enjoying the heroic durge path thus far. like it's actually a shame I always hear people talk about durge as something they save for an evil run because if you are an angst enjoyer, this is simply one of the finest vintages I've had in a while. like, the limitless internal conflict, not knowing who you are, not knowing if you want to know who you were, trying to be a good person but fearing you never can be. Something is forcing you to do terrible things and you can't control it, so where does that end? is your determination to be better than your impulses stronger than the monster inside of you? what happens if you lose control and just keep falling? that's SEXY. that's fucking catnip for me personally, I'm literally living my best life rn

I know I’m a week late I’m sorryyyy I genuinely thought I already posted this,
BUT.
This episode gives me LIFE.
Look at this.
Look at Mollie full on laughing at Hatenna mimicking Chansey, look at her finding the baby Pokémon cute, look at how happy she is! I know you’re trying to pretend you’re not a Nurse Joy but the cracks are showing.
And THEN, as if that weren’t enough, this happens.
I’M??? Mollie hugging Liko. Mollie, who’s usually calm, collected, and never gives a fuck, outright yelling Liko’s name in relief and joy and running to hug her so tightly she accidentally hurts her?
The way I fucking squealed out loud when I saw this y’all, this is the most precious thing I’ve ever seen in my LIFE, look at her, she loves this kid so much and it melted my heart like you would not BELIEVE.
And THEN they blessed us again with THIS SMILE.
Like I’m not trying to be dramatic or anything but I would protect this smile with my life.
I have such a weakness for characters who don’t usually show much emotion getting emotional and this episode gave me EVERYTHING. I need more episodes with Mollie openly showing how much she cares about everyone else because she DOES, she loves them all SO GODDAMN MUCH, and she deserves to show it.

sometimes it is weirdly cathartic to watch a woman go insane on the screen/page/stage. I get that. Expression of our negative emotions so openly and unashamedly portrayed, which we are not allowed to/ought not to/were raised not to express in such a way in public or whatever. It can feel like some sort of release to see that. However. Watching Alina go from punching Nikolai in the face for lying to her to straight up murdering a crazy lady high on magical people drugs with the very same power that the Darkling used was so disconcerting that I leaned away from the screen.
