can't stop thinking about brennan saying "i'm going to describe something very heartbreaking now." how often does he break the kayfabe just to warn one of the players about the next thing he's going to say?? so much tragedy in dimension 20 but it's here, this moment, that is devastating enough that brennan takes a moment to give a warning: i'm going to describe something very heartbreaking now.
adaine abernant grew up lonely and abused in the shadow of a cruel, perfect aelwyn who could do no wrong. adaine didn't even want to find aelwyn, and every step their adventure took in her direction was a step adaine asterisked with a loud proclamation that she hated her bitch sister and didn't care about finding her. and only after discovering that aelwyn had been a months-long prisoner, tortured at her parents' hands, only after hearing a destroyed aelwyn apologize, does adaine consider that maybe aelwyn was a victim, too. and she overcomes her childhood resentment. she sees the bigger picture. she rescues her sister. she protects her as they sleep, and aelwyn's magic protects them in return. it is, maybe, the first time adaine truly feels that she has an older sister. and there's hope now. aelwyn has been broken down, but also redeemed, and they're together now, and adaine can help her, and they can be a family, because people aren't perfect, but aelwyn said she's sorry. and adaine goes into her mind and sees all the self-loathing she never knew about, and even more than that the fear of their parents, and she understands aelwyn so perfectly in this moment, all bitterness and spite dissolved, just a young woman taking a leap of faith and being rewarded with family, finally, a sister she never got to have, who actually loves her and believes in her and wants to keep her safe.
and then aelwyn's memory resets.
and in an instant, adaine loses everything she never knew she could have.
pretty heartbreaking.
Council: we're going to m!rder everyone in Zaun that we have to in order to catch Jinx
Caitlyn: wait no, a lot of innocent people will die if we do that. What about if me and a few others go in and find Jinx? We'll use the Grey specifically in areas where Jinx is, and it won't harm anyone, it's just to get Jinx to go out in the open so we can find her
Council: okay fine
--Caitlyn doesn't kill a single Zaunite the entire show unlike everyone else in the main cast besides Ekko. She immediately betrays Ambessa when she realizes that Ambessa is manipulating her grief to make her go along with violent plans. Then acknowledges that she was wrong for going along with Ambessa, admits that hated herself when she was so determined to find Jinx, FORGIVES Jinx for *kidnapping her, attempting to kill her multiple times, severely injuring her, and murdering her mom,* allows Vi to set Jinx free, and in the end gives up her seat on the Council to Sevika (showing that she never wanted power and knows that Zaun needs representation in government)--
Fandom: ...CAITLYN HATES ZAUNITES AND TRIED TO KILL THEM ALL!!!!!! SHE NEVER CARED ABOUT ANYONE ELSE!!!! ANYONE WHO LIKES HER IS A MONSTER!!!
|------» ~~~ «------|
reminder that you can disagree with Caitlyn's actions and still acknowledge both why she did them and that she worked to rectify them. as someone who's ancestors were actually g@ssed and killed... I literally cannot comprehend how people think that's the same thing as what Caitlyn did
Anyways! Quick rant!
One day, I'm gonna ride in one of those things
new beginnings
Bad kids get icecream! ( I missed them so this was fun to make!)
So there's a family, right? Father, Mother, Son
And the father is dead now but before he died he did impart a desire for his son to follow in his footsteps. And for the most part the son does, the son wants to make his dad proud, even as he is shredded with guilt over the ways he doesn't measure up to his dead father. He has a way to talk to his father in the afterlife. Sometimes it works, sometimes the dad is too busy.
And the mom, right? The son and the mom barely see each other despite living in the same household. And in some ways it's for reasons the mother has little control of but, man, she could be trying harder. She could be trying harder to be there for him.
But she gives her son as much resources as she can so he can have a good life. And then in the last few years of his highschool career she withdraws from him more to go live the life she always wanted to. Even if that life takes her further from her son.
Do you ever think about how the Seacasters and the Gukgaks are such similar families?
character misses their shot and the villain goes "ha! you missed." and the main character goes "did i?" and then shoots the villain again while they're frantically looking around the room for what the hero could possibly have aiming for instead
I met Death, and he wanted me to live.
