Shane thinks that Ilya liking how he sounds when he speaks French is similar to how he feels when Ilya speaks Russian. *Insert Shane saying very horny/corny things about Ilya thinking he doesn’t understand*

The witches place is one more instance in the season when we are told something but we have to look around in the scene for clues to understand what is really happening (similar to Magnus music video). Lestat has all the information (no memory problems with this vampire) but he's presenting us with a version that is more palatable for him. Lestat wants it to have been about tough love. It is not. The setting of the scene is this: four girls at the stake. The first two are SA victims who spoke out. The third one is a friend of Lestat, who used to come and play at their house. The fourth? A twin, a doppelgänger, if you will. Big doppelgänger imagery all season which I have yet to unpack.

The message Gabriella sends could not be clearer: I will isolate you (no more friends) and if you speak about what is happening between us, you will end up like these girls. It even bleeds through in Lestat's recollection of Armand's butcher shop fun adventure: bad things happen to girlies who talk. Gabriella is an abuser, she has been presented with no redeeming qualities the entire season because what she did to her son is horrific, unforgivable, irredeemable.

It's wild blueberry season in Sweden and I've been picking and eating my fill everyday from the forest behind my house! The entire forest floor is covered in wild blueberry bushes and the tangy taste is so cosmic, I had to paint them✨ Photos of the berries I picked!

Shane, meanwhile, haaaaates mornings. He gets up at 5 every day for his first workout because he's Dedicated and Determined but he has to scrape himself off of his mattress each time, grumbling as he does. He hates the transition between sleeping and awake so fucking much, especially when it's rushed. David and Yuna developed so many creative ways of getting him up as gently as possible growing up. Part of why he loves going to his cottage so much is it's the one time of year where he doesn't have to set a crazy alarm. He can work out whenever he wants to in the day. If he sleeps in a bit he doesn't feel like he's letting anyone down. If Shane had no responsibilities? Man, he'd be sleeping in and napping as much as he could.

Like when Gandalf spent literal PAGES trying to figure out why the vibes were off in Moria and Legolas chimes in with just "it's a balrog :) that shit's evil :) we're so fucked :)" like what do you MEAN you knew already and just didn't tell him??

Or at the beginning of Two Towers when Aragorn thinks there's something nearby so he puts his ear to the ground to listen, and then like 10 minutes later is like "hmmm i hear horses" and Legolas is just like "mm yep. there are 105 blond bitches with spears" like you just let your friend put his face in the dirt and you can SEE them??

gandalf is scratching his head in moria, and legolas is thinking "oh man, the wizard noticed something off *besides* the obvious balrog that we all are aware of??"
