There's a lot of lines in Amongst Our Weapons that make me want to wave my arms around and yell incoherently about Peter and Nightingale and how far they've come and how much they mean to each other, but right now the one I want to yell about the most is this one from right at the end:

Image text: 'The wider the base, the greater the stability of the building,' said Nightingale. 'You taught me that.'

Because, like. Peter wanted to be an architect. The thing he always wanted to do was to build things. And look what he's built! He hasn't just rebuilt the Folly as it was, he's built something modern and completely new out of its constituent parts and he's done it by caring about people and being interested in how things work and by what Beverly jokingly calls 'compulsive networking'.

And everything he's done for the Folly, he's done for Nightingale on a personal level too.

Nightingale was So isolated when Peter first met him. His police colleagues didn't want much to do with him, his social circle seemed to consist of Molly and Dr Walid and not much more, he was completely out of touch with the modern world. And to his credit, he was the one who decided to take on an apprentice, but that was pretty much all he was planning to do. Train up a replacement for himself in case he got killed, pass on the Forms and Wisdoms properly, keep the status quo going.

But he chose Peter, and suddenly he's got an apprentice who wants to study the science behind magic and modernise the Folly's record keeping and work out better ways to liaise with other police and fundamentally Make Changes. Nightingale ends up with all these connections through Peter, to Beverley and the other Thames girls, to Lesley, to Abigail, eventually to the rest of Peter's family, to other police like Guleed and Stephanopoulos and unfortunately for him Seawoll... He has people he can rely on, and who choose to rely on him, and not just for magic -I especially love how Peter's mum eventually starts using him to babysit Peter's dad, and the fact that he helps Abigail's family with her brother. He's not alone anymore, and he goes from just living to genuinely thriving.

And it's all down to Peter, and what the two of them have built together. In fact, they've built something so significant that in a few years Nightingale isn't going to be necessary anymore. He's been Britain's Last Official Wizard for seventy years, all the weight of that tradition resting on his shoulders alone, and in a handful of years Peter has helped him to build something that'll be able to take the weight instead if he wants it to. There are people who can help do everything he's been doing alone and more, so finally he can think about what he actually wants for himself. (And don't even get me started on his arc re: teaching and discovering that it's what he wants to do for the rest of his life, I Will start yelling even more.)

And it's Peter who's taught him to let other people take the weight. That you can build something stable and lasting if you're willing to share the load. The wider the base, the greater the stability of the building.

Not bad for a wannabe architect who can't draw, huh?

#rivers of london #peter grant #thomas nightingale #amongst our weapons #once again I am deeply emotionally compromised by that book and those two #and like. the fact that peter's architecture thing comes off as just a fun character quirk #but then you think about it and it's kind of Fundamental to the themes of the whole series #which is about Building #building connections building systems building Better Things #and our protagonist is a guy who couldn't be an architect #and his mentor is a guy who slowly realises just how much he wants to be a teacher #Waving My Arms Around And Yelling #wizard nonsense tag

Anyone else wanna cry over the fact that in s2 buck mentions how Maddie told him “to go after what he wanted, be confident, girls aren’t scary”and now in s7 he’s gonna be having a similar conversation with Chris as he starts dating

Also mind you that that season 2 episode (2x08 /buck actually) was the one with the see me Norman! Thing and the fact that that couple are the ones that are gonna be appearing in the same episode in season 7

ALSO that same episode is the one where he points out how madney act like more than friends without realising it - I’m not saying nothing I’m sideeyeing heavily tho

#lots of thoughts about how Maddie practically raised him and they mention her having this convo with young him and how he gets to help raise #Christopher and have that conversation with him #also yes I do know it’s most likely not intentional that this parallel worked out so perfectly especially with the couple showing up in the #same episodes but it’s a pretty cool and crazy fact that this happened #I connected two dots -you didn’t connect shit meme here #911 #buddie #evan buckley #eddie diaz #evan buck buckley #911 fox #911onfox #911 abc #buckley diaz family #the buckley siblings #madney #maddie buckley #911 spec #911 speculation #911 spoilers #911 on abc

Did you guys know that J*mes S*mmerton, the man currently getting torn to shreds, once said that Hunter and Gus should have been a couple?

#its so funny #i really had no idea who he was #but then i recognized that i HAD seen one or two of his vids #and then i connected the dots and i was like ''WAIT OMG ITS THAT GUY THE GUS/HUNTER GUY!!!'' #i am in no way linking the two. i just think its a very funny fact that might give the owl enjoyers a wallop in the gut

Alan Wake (whose face and voice we find on Thomas Zane and Casper Darling, respectively) ends up in an antagonistic relationship with Alex Casey (whose face and voice we find on Sam Lake and Zachariah Trench, respectively).

Casper Darling and Zachariah Trench? By the end, their relationship was antagonistic.

The Casey-Trench voice was once a guide-friend for Wake-Darling.

And then, they were fighting.

One was suspicious of the other, thinking he was lying, hiding something.

While the other was unaware of the darkness that was growing and consuming the former's mind, his ignorance letting it fester. Feeding it, even.

The original faces, Thomas Zane and Sam Lake? In this latest iteration they've spoken with their own voices while in the Dark Place, only in the presence of a camera.

Alan Wake and Zachariah Trench? In the end, while in a nightmare dimension, both get shot by a woman who both of these men meddled in their lives, threatening the well being of their loved one.

At least one had a hand in his fate, willing it, accepting it. The other? He was fully gone, his will overtaken by the nightmare.

A version of Alex Casey did say it after all. He and writer, they were the same.

And finally, the real Sam Lake? By happenstance he offered his face for a collaborative project, and became a symbol. Even if he tried to fight it, tried to replace it, he had to concede. The story demanded it, as if writing it wasn't enough, the narrative claimed his visage.

There's no need to make overt mentions or put the image of the Ouroboros in posters. The serpent is interwoven in the fabric of the narrative itself.

#now we're only missing a scene with tom zane and sam lake being best friends and the mirror image will be complete #not so much theory crafting more like rambling #because Alex Casey hated Alan's gut the first time he met him on Cauldron Lake's shore lmao #remedy writing in mirroring-self-consuming #self-generating loops and spirals #alan wake 2 #remedy connected universe #control remedy #zachariah trench #casper darling #tom zane #alan wake #dunno where I read that Ilkka Villi's accent was too thick back then so Remedy went with a different actor for Alan's voice #which if true it would an excellent companion to Sam Lake giving his face to Max Payne due to limited budget #One was like: we only have enough money to pay for James McCaffrey's voice #The other: yeah we can afford two actors for Alan Wake #Then a few years later: we are going to exploit all these little fun facts and make them an integral part of the narrative #remedyversetxt

I’ve been lurking in the 911 tags for only a week and I’m already exhausted of most b*ddie shippers holy shit

#the annoying ones know who they are #this isn’t a personal attack #I truly don’t want them to become canon out of spite #why even tag your hate in the goddam tag dedicated to another ship #Tommy’s tag has a lot of hate and people talking about eddie how there’s clues etc etc #I haven’t been deeply involved in fandoms in the last few years for this exact reason #when it becomes too meta it kinda ruins it for me #people digging through interviews and trying to find evidence in situations that weren’t intended that way in the writing drains you #sorry to break it to you #but Bucky is into tommy and was since the beginning of meeting him #yall going #well actually #he’s in love with eddie but doesn’t know and misplaces it with Tommy #is tiring #I don’t know if b*ddie will be canon but not everything has to be about romance with them #they seem to have a connection that goes even deeper than romance #having them be a couple just kinda irks me #they don’t need to be two bros sitting in a bathtub five feet apart but they seem like soulmates in a way that I don’t see as romantic #I say as an aromantic person too #deep connections can be just as intense and interesting if even more than coupling up #obviously not tagging the ship name cause I’d be lynched if I do #and again this isn’t about the actual ship it’s more about the fandom and how they feel entitled to claim theories as facts #lety rambles #tommy kinard #tevan #tuck #911 #911 abc #911 show #bucktommy

Vecna’s plan requiring Mike to leave for California means nothing. The number 1 following Mike cryptically at the airport means nothing. Them barely giving us Mike’s perspective the last two seasons (despite him being the original protagonist) means nothing and it isn’t setting up his POV to be revealed in s5 bc the entire audience is completely comfortable with where Mike stands as a character in regards to his deeper feelings/motives. No confusion there so no need to address that. Mike saying How will I survive a whole week without you guys at the start of s4 wasn't foreshadowing his fate at the end of said week. Mike standing in front of exit signs 3+ times in s4 is probably just a coincidence. Mike being associated with gaping mouths in multiple moments spanning the entire series, even going back to his very first line on the show, means nothing at all. Nancy’s vision about her family (Mike) dying was mentioned at the end of s4, but it didn’t happen so probably won’t ever happen, even though there’s still another season left set directly after the events of s4. Will calling Mike the heart and how without heart they’d all fall apart, was not in any shape form foreshadowing something happening to Mike and them all falling apart, bc Mike is definitely just a prop and everything in relation to his story only holds meaning on the surface or for other characters arcs and couldn’t possibly be hinting at something deeper that’s being saved as one of the many surprises for the last season.

#byler #stranger things #im sorry but ppl getting mad over speculation about mike and vecna is weird… especially when there's series long evidence… #like we know for a fact Will and vecna are facing off in s5 it's a given with the most basic ga being ready for it #it’s probably going to really come to a head in that final battle in the last two episodes #so early s5 and everything leading up to Will being confronted by vecna cant just be Will and vecna confronting each other over and over… #that would make their final confrontation anticlimactic #there’s a reason we keep seeing a chess board/dnd in relation to the events to come #bc EVERYONE is a piece in vecna’s game #EVERYONE plays a role in him reaching his main goal #back in 2019 if ppl heard max was a target or Nancy was a target in s4 they would’ve been confused #bc there’s little to no ties between the mindflayer and those characters #for a fact Will has more ties to vecna than them #HOWEVER them having no connection to vecna is not entirely true #vecna is connected to Max and Nancy’s trauma related to the person they lost because of him.. #and he used that against them to be 10 steps ahead so that he can lead up to reaching his final goal AKA WILL #he could have just got will 10 times already but he doesn't do it that way #we could’ve not had any of the events in s3-4 happen with random ass characters #BUT THE REALITY IS VECNA WANTS/NEEDS CANNON FODDER #he needs ppl that are just players in his game to overcome to eventually follow through with his plan #Mike arguably has fucked over vecna more than anyone #he’s also someone that both Will and El care for dearly #there’s a reason vecna's plan required the great big love triangle mishap in s4 #his plan literally depended on that miscommunication so that they would have a false win #like y’all just seem to want the most anticlimactic season with Will and vecna facing off only… #yes that Will happen and it will be some of the biggest moments of the season #but there's other stuff that's gotta happen... #and tbh will is going to be swamped with venca/lab revelations next season #them pounding us on the head with will is gay in s5 is going to feel repetitive as we've seen that four seasons in a row... #mike on the other hand...

tbh im really liking this duel so far, and its a shame because i've heard that ryuji and yugi's rivalry gets ironed out and the story moves on at some point but man he is such a good rival set up for yugi, they make a good parallel to yami and kaiba

#im sorry rivalshipping i love you two being rivals so much but. ryuji. #like ive seen people talk about this every once in a while but it is REALLY good #i like the whole fighting for the heir to the puzzle thing #and the fact that ryuji isnt connected to ancient egypt the way kaiba is #like ofc kaiba has a modern beef with yami and yugi #but they were still destined from ancient egypt to battle #so its a little different #i think if yugi was actually atems reincarnation (not possible but) #it could be set up with him and kaiba being the reincarnations and having that ancient beef #but the beef always seems to be specific to atem since his soul never reincarnated #so alas yugi is rival-cockblocked but at least he has ryuji to make kaiba jealous #sorry i cant not make this otp-y #devo speaks #screen caps #yugi mutou #ryuji otogi

Okay but the reveal that not only were Ravonna and Mobius BOTH once hunters, but that they were partners????? Adds so so much depth to their relationship makes so much sense why a judge and an analyst would be so close. And that Mobius couldn't kill the child that would grow up to kill thousands so Ravonna made the hard call and did it in his place??? God that adds so much weight to earlier in the season where Ravonna spoke about how she's always made the tough choices so Mobius didn't have to😭

Truly EONS of friendship, being partners trusting each other having each other's backs cleaning up each others messes. A bond that lasted hundreds of years later even after they were professionally separated and Ravonna was promoted to judge and Mobius transferred to analysis. I just. NO FUCKING WONDER Ravonna felt so gd betrayed when Mobius got a new bestie and chose him over her. And no wonder even after Ravonna literally pruned Mobius in S1 he still wanted to try and work things out and mend bridges cause they've been through tough shit together before and after all this time they're basically each other's FAMILY and-

#God these two get me so emotional #On the whole I'm fine with Loki ending with s2 cause that was one HELL of a finale holy fucking shit #But I'll be really fucking sad if we never get to see these two reconcile and be besties again #Like Ravonna's story is clearly not fucking over she could easily appear in future movies #In fact I think it's more likely than not that she does especially with her teased connection to Kang #And Mobius's story isn't over either yet #So it wouldn't be a stretch to bring them both over to over MCU projects and do a slow-burn besties to enemies to besties again type arc #(With Mobius also reuniting with his husband cause they're literal soulmates) #Mine #loki spoilers #loki series #loki season 2 #loki 2x06 #ravonna renslayer #mobius m mobius #Mobius x Ravonna #loki disney+ #Loki

I know most of y'all haven't read or watched Romeo & Juliet, which is cool because like 98% of the content in & Juliet functions completely independent of the events in Romeo & Juliet, however it's also so weird because it leaves me trying to come up with something smart or funny to say about &J alone meanwhile my brain feels like this

Do you remember that insane Bergy and Marchy interview from last year, which among many other things, featured this exchange?

Anyway I was going thru my bergy tag last night when I came across this other article snippet from 2019

THIS IS THE BASEMENT MARCHY WANTS TO MOVE INTO

#boston bruins #brad marchand #patrice bergeron #marcheron #I HAVE CONNECTED THE DOTS #but god i do go so insane over rpf lore when im in the trenches #good luck to us all #but also its one thing to say ill move into your normal craopy basement haha (clearly a joke) #and another when the basement is in fact designed to accommodate a lodger #which is to say also a joke but i doubt the first time this thought occurred to marchy was during that interview #like when you know your hockey soulmate is retiring in a few months #and then you will never get to have those road trips that liminal time when the only two ppl who exist in the world is you and him #bc you both have families and it is just not done #and you look at your friends basement and one part of you #who is maybe already missing him as he sits next to you thinks-
