i think the music was kinda hit or miss tbh but i think the show really shines in the writing and performances. i said already that bryce was fucking amazing, but curt, jeff and angela were other highlights for me.

i think the scenes between ella and tadius were my fav parts. they had such a good dynamic and its where the writing really was at its peak.

The entire cast is incredible, and my gods does Bryce shine. She is my favorite Cinderella. I love that they allowed their Cinderella to be filled with rage. She's still a sweet girl who loves critters, but she is also so so fucking angry and I love it.

The music, for me, is also amazing. There are no skips in the album, and for me that rarely happens. Jeff Blim's style always feels like it works well for a sort of 80s style (which I look forward to hearing him lean into for Glam and the Pentagrams), and it helped to give this show a very 80's gothic fantasy movie vibe. (Which is very much my own vibe)

The scenes with the Faerie Queen, and between Ella and Tadius are tied for my favorite. Kim absolutely serves as the Faerie Queen, and Bryce and Curt's chemistry is fantastic.

you can never get a clear listen to him. his primary sense node is covered in "hair" and the part that isn't is hidden by two crystals that refract sound waves in a pleasing but disorienting way. he covers his body in billowy cloth at all times. not snug and sensible and unobstructive like eridian coverings, but loose and layered, draped and flowing.

the most clear part of him are his internal organs. because yes, the alien's carapace isn't sound-proof. his single heart beats insistingly in his core, his lungs exchanging gas constantly, his long digestive tract always bubbling and contracting. his thorax is packed impossibly tight and it's all moving and singing.

and it shouldn't be possible, with how fragile he is, for that internal pressure to maintain. how does the thin membrane of his external organ (another horror that sends eridians reeling) keep it all contained? his "skin" is so easily pierced, cut, bruised, burnt, how does he not split open under his own mass?

when savior rocky first arrived home and described the environmental needs of his alien, the scientists thought he'd made a mistake in his frantic panic to get everything out. it isn't possible this being lives at such low atmospheric pressure, at half the gravity, and in a gas that's nearly double the weight of ammonia. in a gas so dangerous, so caustic. and if it does then how is it obligately terrestrial like rocky claims? shouldn't it fly or float instead? (and then to see it in the water, learning that it can float or sink at will.)

and this alien has come bearing gifts that will not only save your species but launch it into impossible heights of technological and intellectual advancement. he has discovered the solution to astrophage and bred it to thrive on threeworld and translated his instructions into eridian. he has given your people the complete sum of his people's knowledge, advanced in ways the eridians can't believe and behind in ways that seem ludicrous. and he has given his life for your people to have these things.

he knows how your solar system was formed. he knows how the universe started.

his name means beautiful and generous and relieving.

the eridians experiencing cosmic bliss.

115 colonists: okay

governor: ends up spending 3 years in england bc of a naval war with spain or some shit

governor: gets back to the colony to find everyone gone

governer: sees the word “croatoan”, the name of a native american tribe, carved into a post

croatoan tribe: has members and children with blonde hair/blue eyes, pale skin

It makes me feel like this

some people don’t deserve fanfics, much less for free.

also even if authors didn’t tag any specific warnings but they used the “creator chose not to use archive warnings” tag, then that is your warning.
