ianthe is the funniest character in tlt for taking one look at harrow’s whole Deal and immediately going ‘nothing has ever been more attractive to me than this’
i learned a while ago that the whole "most of the stars we see in the sky are actually already dead because they're so far away that we're seeing them as they were thousands of years ago" thing is a myth because stars live so long that it's unlikely many, if any, of them have burned out yet, but i'm still glad that myth exists because there's just something about the thought of the sky as a graveyard of stars that gets to me
Thinking about how succinctly LM 1972 was able to convey the Montparnasse and Éponine dynamic. First by simply having her use a less formal greeting for him than she does for the other gang members, the way she does in the Brick.
Then, check out her reaction when he pulls the knife on her. There’s this fleeting expression of surprise, fear, and dare I say hurt? Before she switches back to that bravery and tells him he doesn’t scare her. But that brief moment, it’s SO GOOD—with just a fleeting facial expression we get such a clear suggestion of their history.
And then THIS MOMENT. The way he looks back at her is so chilling and threatening. Especially because when they’re making the decision to leave, he looks so angry with her—dude’s jaw is so tense. So then when he looks back like this it is incredibly menacing.
And then the way she lets herself fall apart afterwards really solidifies the danger and the menace of what we just saw.
Like future adaptations please take note—you can give us a sense of the connections between various characters that are present in the Brick without taking up very much time at all.

Warlock: You’ve been Pavlov-ing me. You’re only nice to me when I’m not killing people. Paladin: That’s also in line with, you know, basic morality, but sure we’ll stick with the psychology if it makes you feel better.

To save myself time looking stuff up. Includes characters’ birthdates, and Tome-Book-Chapter references where applicable. I may make a separate hour-by-hour barricade timeline at some point. Corrections and additions are most welcome.
