CAN YOU HEAR IT NOW?

okay but we can't know for sure that the loud noise and bright flash offstage—which occurred after the character who was holding the gun exited the stage with it—was a gunshot, because we didn't get to directly see it

Occtis had such a horrible time this episode and I feel so bad for him. I thought Alex did a great job acting out the agonizing pain (and resulting fear) when the Stone of Nightsong was destroyed and making it look so visceral. Occtis fully believes that only two people care about him and Julien didn't correct him (even if Julien's behaviour implied otherwise). He watched his father murder Hannan and violently threaten his aunt and started having a very understandable freak out but he hardly had time to process any of it because he needed to get away from his family before he, too, risked meeting the same fate. I loved how Alex continued acting out Occtis sitting slumped in a chair, at low HP, still reeling and in pain from the fight and the destruction of the Stone. And then Vaelus admitting she didn't consider what might happen to Occtis before she smashed the Stone of Nightsong, even if it probably wouldn't have changed her decision. I'm so glad Occtis got to properly hug Thimble and got a moment with Thaisha near the end but man I just felt so awful for him this entire episode.

I honestly feel like the proliferation of LED headlights was the canary in the coalmine for the general attitude we see in the political climate these days and i'm not even remotely kidding

Very much in line with the attitude of "this choice will marginally improve the way I move through the world and make everyone else's experience SIGNIFICANTLY worse, but I don't really care, based simply on the fact that I am allowed to do it and there's nothing they can or will do to stop me" ya feel me?

pick up that non-fiction book

"representation matters!" but you wont read or engage with non-fiction works about any demographic outside your own

this version of the post doesnt seem to be getting much traction but this is arguably the most important reason why we should be reading nonfiction in addition to fiction

Stamp of approval
