"I just had to see my sister for... possibly the last time."

What a touching line... if only it wasn't a lie. Eda didn't want to go to the Covention, she didn't want to go to the Emperor's Coven panel, and she was in the process of trying to leave when Lilith caught up to her. By all accounts, Eda wanted to avoid her sister. If not for personal reasons, then at least for the practical reason of not wanting to get arrested. Eda says this because she knows it will trick Lilith into letting her guard down for the moment she needs to escape.

There is truth in this exchange, however. Eda brings up that the curse is getting worse—a play for sympathy, but as following episodes would show, it really is getting out of control, and she has no plan for what to do when the elixirs stop working. In response to this, Lilith says "I was surprised when I first saw you today," which could be taken to mean that she was surprised to see her here, but in context she's really saying she was surprised at the state she's in. It's been a while since they've seen each other, and in that time, Eda's appearance has changed more than expected. The curse causes her to age faster, and it seems to be accelerating over time.

The end of the episode reveals that Lilith has already made her "deal" with Emperor Belos: to bring Eda into the coven, in exchange for healing the curse. Curious then, that she doesn't open with this... or even bring it up at all, apart from a fleeting moment of hope that Eda had come to join herself.

There's a push and pull to their interactions; they both bring out each other's petty and competitive sides. But Lilith, who's supposed to be the lawful one, cares more about their rivalry than her job. She could have tried to apprehend Eda right there, but instead she gets rid of the wanted posters (somehow getting all law enforcement to just look the other way for the day) just for the chance to compete... by proxy of a duel between their students. The poor kids.

(Making kids fight each other? Sounds familiar.)

There is a moment, when Eda is down, where Lilith lets her mask slip. Her anger dissipates, as does her magic. She still genuinely cares for her sister. And she's about to say something, before Eda reveals that it was a trick.

Was she going to apologize? Was she going to negotiate, to reveal what her goal actually is, to offer her misguided attempt at help?

Or was she going to admit that she was the one who cursed Eda, right then and there? The guilt eating her alive wasn't even an intended part of the ruse.

Lilith doesn't want to force Eda into the coven. She says multiple times that she wants Eda to make that choice for herself. But it's never going to happen, because what Lilith fails to realize is that Eda isn't just being contrarian for fun; she hates the establishment for very good reasons. She would rather die than conform. And she's well on her way to doing just that...

see the advantage of posting my ideas on my blog is that if someone now writes them before me i don’t have to. but if no one does now there’s probably at least ONE PERSON who is excited for it, which makes me feel somewhat more obligated to at least try to write one of them. win/win as far as i am concerned,

#i recognize most people are a LOT more protective over ideas than i am #but eh. it's fanfiction. if someone else writes the thing i was thinking about writing all that means is that i get to read it instead #i see no downside

[sternalwires]

what if i just this entire fic in various snippets on here and make everyone put them together like puzzle pieces

#we all win #my impatient ass gets to keep spoiling the fic #y’all get dnf enrichment time #i see no downside #syllables of need

Personally I'd rather see the entire Hollywood movie industry fall apart than the strike fail. Movies won't stop being made, they will just stop being sponsored by worker abuse, and if that means no more millions of dollars worth epics then so be it idc

EDIT: OK this is gaining way too much attention while being vague and hyperbolic and ranty so let's make one thing clear - I am NOT lauding projects which don't adhere to union requirements, this is about the fact that big studios pretend like they are the only ones who can give you entertainment and if they can't make projects, you'll be sad and bored forever, and also that the only worthwhile pieces of media are projects worth an ungodly amount of money. This is obviously a lie, since there have been studios that agreed to work under new union requirements, and that's what I mean by "movies won't stop being made" - there will always always always be projects, big and small, that won't ignore what unions have to say. And in a dreamlike hypothetical future where big Hollywood industry falls apart, other smaller and more manageable studios will rise to take their place, and they'll have a cautionary tale on what will happen to them if they try to push it again.

#i literally see no downside to this situation. workplaces will have to be rearranged #but that is better than continuing on like this. anything is better than empowering predatory businessmen because we want movies. #eernatalk

I was really in the mood to do some masquerade fanart, but I didn’t feel like coming up with anything original, so here’s some of my favorite (...slightly paraphrased) bits from the first part. I don’t know where it’s going, but it’s pretty fun so far!

also one that isn’t canon except in my heart:

(disclaimer that this is a Joke)

what I was talking abt earlier. we have fully looped back around and away from feminism, societally, whereas before it was very Feminism 101 to acknowledge that many parts of existing as a woman in a misogynistic society are painful and upsetting. not that being a woman is Inherently Negative in a bubble. but that living on this earth, in the conditions we're living in, is hostile to women. and that gender is a performance. that many of the Staples Of Femininity as accepted by society are things that you have to create and perform and mold artificially and aren't inherent, that COMPLAINING about day to day difficulties of existing as a woman is something that you're allowed to do. acknowledging these basic, again, feminism 101 things, that something tied to womanhood is more time consuming or more expensive or more dangerous Because Of The Problems. does not CREATE the problems. that when women complain about having to perform femininity, they are not, in fact, oppressing themselves. the call does not come from inside the fucking house. saying that you HAVE suffered does not fucking equate that you believe you SHOULD have suffered.

like I could talk about this for hours. how braindead and one-dimensional the Takes are getting. "being a woman is looking in the mirror and going fuck yeah i'm a woman" damn. I guess any negative experiences you have by living in a misogynistic world... are your fault if you are anything but positive? "you don't actually want liberation" we've fully gone back to telling feminists "you WANT to be oppressed" when anything negative about our society is pointed out. it's not real until I say it out loud, I guess, and then I'm actually the one who caused it. if anybody expresses any unhappiness with how they're treated or the status quo or the language and culture surrounding womanhood and femininity. they've created it, right that second. they invented it just now. it wasn't a problem before somebody complained, right? also trans women aren't braindead zombies who just follow the flow of whatever cis women around them say. I am pretty fucking sure they are very much aware of pain, and are MORE than aware of the swirling torrent of misogyny and standards of femininity than anybody else. actually. and I am pretty sure someone complaining on tumblr that being a woman means always putting on a performance is going to make someone change their mind about transitioning. also "performing femininity" as a necessity to being treated well as a woman is not fucking NEWS to your Local Trans Woman. I AM PRETTY SURE SHE GETS THE CONCEPT. using trans women as a scapegoat for this braindead perspective on gender politics is spineless, meritless, and pathetic.

#how I feel about my gender is not the same as how I feel about the living conditions of my gender #when I saw that post I screenshotted here I literally sat w my mouth open for a minute #sent it to my friends and was like am I fucking crazy. is this what we're doing now #Forced Positivity and that there is no war in ba sing se and actually #you're ruining children's lives if you complain about misogyny on twitter #I don't HAVE to tell little girls about the downsides because they are already being mistreated #before they have even heard the word 'misogyny' let alone know what it means #you do not have to be fucking happy all the time about the cards you're dealt. #you don't live in a bubble where it's just you and your mirror and your pretty dress and nothing bad has ever happened to you #unfortunately bitch. we will have negative experiences that are in fact. part of the package of being a woman #and IGNORING them doesn't make them not exist. actually they will continue to remain status quo unless acknowledged #sergle.txt #I see so much rhetoric that is JUST old-fashioned gender ideals being presented with liberal language on tiktok #that is just telling women that womanhood is just being a girllll and loving pretty things and being kind and gentleeeee and nurturing #and not working and just like being wholesome and being happy and being a light in ppl's lives and just LOVING LOVING LOVING being a woman #so if for even one second. you don't love it. you are actually failing at being a woman #if you complain about the standards for shaving or putting on makeup. which used to be Baby's First Feminism online #that's actually just you creating problems. you're not supposed to acknowledge it. you're supposed to shut up and smile into the mirror.

I would like you all to know that Logan Sargeant's Mom likes supportive comments on her son's page, and I think that's adorable.

Pros: You get to finally sort your feelings out and pull your best friend after years of pining.

Cons: You get to stare your sister in the eyes as she essentially commits suicide right infront of you because she feels like the world is better off without her and everything is collapsing around you.
