his form had not yet lost all her original brightness, nor appeared less than Archangel ruined, and th' excess of glory obscured: as when the sun new-risen looks through the horizontal misty air shorn of his beams, or, from behind the moon, in dim eclipse, disastrous twilight sheds on half the nations, and with fear of change perplexes monarchs.
darkened so, yet shone above them all th' Archangel

So turns out Astarion has a different dialogue line if it's just the two of you stealing the Blood of Lathander...
and he says it in the most nonchalant tone imaginable

Watching Bridgerton and My God all im craving rn is Valinor!Russingon with Regency Era courting style
Hand kissing, balls with big sparkly outfits, courting seasons, Maglor willing and ready to shoot Fingon for kissing Maedhros and breaking his brother’s heart and honour by not marrying him after (CAUSE ELVES ONLY MARRY/LOVE ONCE!!! HOW DARE YOU NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!!!), a Russingon scene with the "I Burn For You" line
Feanor would also be just like Anthony at the beginning of season one, scaring the hell out of all of Maedhros' suitors until his wife forces him to back off, Maglor and Feanor alternate between telling Fingon to Watch Himself and treat Maedhros with respect
Oh and a scene with Nerdanel with a heartbroken-but-doing-his-best-to-hide-it Maedhros, asking him if he really does want to marry the Teleri Prince, because all she wants for him is to be happy and marry for love, not power, like she did. And Maedhros with a schooled face and heartbroken eyes, who knows his family NEEDS political ties, NEEDS a favorable connection like what a good marriage would bring, just smiles at his mother and says that this marriage would be a good thing, would bring their family honour. And Nerdanel’s heart breaks for her beloved son who was put through so much and is sacrificing So Much
All of the other Feanorians are also there and doing the absolute Most to be Problems On Purpose and getting front row seats to their eldest brother's train wreck of a love life

In the 1st book series I can have at least a little bit of respect and hope for Athena being a caring mother (as caring as the gods can be anyway).
But TV Athena? I wanna march straight up to Olympus and have a little....chat, with the Goddess of Wisdom about being a somewhat decent parent, possibility of being smited be damned.
I like both of these interpretations of Athena btw, even if TV Athena makes me want to commit a crime (preferably against her).

Ok so like obviously thinking too hard about Roman is like hovering my hand above a stove flame but. succession was so crazy for making its most provocative sardonic driven-by-chaos most clandestinely traumatized character the one who, out of anyone, expresses the strongest desire for love and connection . like roman has said some of the most deplorable things in the show’s runtime but yet he is the Only one who really declares his love with his actions (pastries for Kendall) and says plainly with words -- PLAIN SPEAK!! WITHOUT METAPHOR OR CODED LANGUAGE -- that he wants to communicate with his siblings and their feelings in a healthy way. it’s like all the tormented energy he has about sex redirects itself into a genuinely earnest need to express affection. and yet he is so impish and deplorable. it’s like he’s exhausted by his own cynicism. it’s like he is the most consistently self-aware character in the show and having that distanced perspective makes him distinctly aware of how Odd his family is, how Odd that they can’t love each other right, how Odd that it is when he’s not allowed to express love if it’s not through sex or violence. Roman Roy is an open wound whereas everyone else seals their gashes with shitty skin grafts and plaster
