I want Cate Blanchett and Ewan Mitchell to play mother and son in something. They may not look that similar but both of them have the same ethereal vibe and those gorgeous blue eyes. Imagine them acting side by side.
am i the only one who feels extremely anxious when sending asks to different blogs? like, what if i just sent them an art request when they're no longer doing those? what if i'm sending something to the wrong blog? what if my ask made them uncomfortable?? does anyone else worry about this stuff???
youtube keeps recommending me videos of people reacting to songs or albums for the first time and i’m like.. i can’t watch that?? that’s too personal, too intimate! you have to do that in private.
So I've been thinking lately about how Mithrun is Kabru's dark mirror (more on that another time- it needs its own post), and I thought it interesting that one of their parallels is that they were both cared for by Milsiril, but in opposite directions. She took Kabru in as her foster after he was orphaned and tried to convince him not to become an adventurer. On the flip side, she helped rehabilitate Mithrun specifically so that he could rejoin the Canaries.
And I kept wondering: why?
For Kabru, obviously she loves him a whole lot- despite any other shortcomings in their relationship, I do believe that.
So I get why she tries to convince him not to go dungeoning, and, failing that, at least prepares him as thoroughly as she can.
But why help Mithrun? She used to hate Mithrun, but after realizing what a secretly twisted person he was, she actually thought of him more positively (oh, Milsiril). So it wasn't as if she held the kind of grudge that might motivate her to make his already-depleted life even more miserable by sending him back to the dungeons. And it wasn't that she felt bad for him either, since she didn't visit Mithrun for the first ~20 years of his recovery.
The Adventurer's Bible says that Utaya was the impetus for Mithrun returning to the Canaries, but Milsiril is the one who made the trip to see him and tell him about it.
Why would Milsiril work so hard to get her old coworker back into fighting fit? Why encourage him to return to such a dangerous lifestyle, when she was the one who chose not to mercy-kill him?
That last panel is such a crazy thing to hint at and then never elaborate on. Without it we could have just thought that Milsiril wanted the Canaries' work to continue without her, even if it seemed out of character. I think some people even assume she's just a natural caretaker as a foster mom and handwave it to include nursing Mithrun too. What could Milsiril's suspicious motives be? What does she gain from Mithrun joining the Canaries that isn't an altruistic desire to see dungeons safely sealed? Feeling a sense of responsibility for the work she left behind isn't an ulterior motive.
My theory is: Milsiril, knowing that Mithrun was empty save for the burning desire to face the demon again, wound him up like a clockwork doll and pointed him back at the dungeons.
Hoping that he'd eliminate the biggest threat to Kabru's life, before it was too late for him.
I was randomly thinking about this little tidbit again and realized I never posted this video on here, so I thought I'd give you all psychic damage tonight.

Me: Okay, let's watch a bit of the Olivier Awards, just to pass the time. And, most importantly, let's NOT make this Good Omens, yeah?

You know, I'm really trying for the brainrot not to spread. I really, really am.
SOME PEOPLE just make it really difficult!
Edit: (Is it me or are they both vaguely sauntering towards their GO looks? I'm probably just going crazy, branirot and all, but I couldn't help raising an eyebrow at it)
