Chetney: ...

Orym, who got clawed pretty badly by wolf!Chet, like, 2 episodes ago: *staring daggers at Chet* 🤨🫩

Because first there's Thaisha, and they were young lovers together who thought the world of each other. They had two kids together, then had to make a hard decision to live wildly different separate lives when Thaisha received her call to adventure while Hal was adamant in staying away from anything of the like just like he did when his brother asked him to join the rebellion.

Then we have Elodie who in many ways is the complete opposite of Thaisha. Yes they are both women of means but Thaisha comes from history and the defiance of destiny, while Elodie appears like an eminently practical merchant with a deep love for the arts. I think in a way Hal must have been looking for this stability as he had decided to stay away from all war and revolution.

Now we don't know why Elodie and Hal don't live together anymore or if they ever did at all, but I can't help but think that it's for the same reason he joined the Schemers after his brother died. There's something undeniable in his life that pulls him away from this type of quiet life. Even before his brother's death he was writing about uprisings of the past. I can't help but think that this push and pull is the centre of his character arc.

Gus, full warrior flirt: You tell anyone, I'll kill ya >;)

Azune: Understood :)

Demodus, unbroken eye contact with the beautiful nightmare of fire and storm who came to rescue him from a dungeon: I will be so brave. So brave and good for you. So so brave no problem ever

Azune: Thank you :)

Julien, has had to physically touch him during every meeting, has been perking up every time Azune's name is even mentioned since reaching the city, may actually die if he doesn't get a homoerotic solo scene soon: Is it safe here? You need to be careful. Who the fuck was that guy who knew you and I don't know.

Azune: :) :) :)

Unknown lovers, apparently: Hey, want to fuck?

But I also love the idea that Aranessa is a Changeling and changed to Julien's form to get to Thjazi then changed to her Aranessa form to try and get him to stop before changing back to the Julien form, then a switcheroo happened where the real Julien "officially" took down Thjazi (perhaps letting Julien win or surrendering), and what Teor and Azune both think is a secret of Julien's (Changeling) is actually Aranessa, and is why Julien doesn't remember either of them rly

An only 10 minute scene: he's a crier. He's having a little breakdown about all the demon shit they just experienced, and is yelling at everyone. There's some weird connection between him and Tyranny that we dont know the details of. Bolaire is his drug dealer. He punches Wick in the face. And also i still want to know when Tyranny saw him cry at a party

HONESTLY YOU ARE SO RIGHT 🤣

like I actually witnessed a story of falling for theatre that I have seen in real life! kattigan becoming so quickly enraptured just - MUAH, perfect.
