Musings of a Songbird

Orphan Black is so delightful because it’s a dark gory sci-fi horror but almost every episode between the killing and maiming and human experimentation they’re just like “Alison has been kidnapped by violent religious extremists…but the school bake sale is TONIGHT!” and they proceed to have wonderful clone swapping antics

no but can we talk about how aunt lydia was like "girl isn't it so weird he did that right there, with witnesses? let's be glad i'm on your side and didn't ruin your stunt, don't be june osborne junior please" like this episode had me in a chokehold on a trolley barreling to who knows where and it's good and i hate it

Kind of obsessed with the way Garth is never prepared for a conversation with Daisy, she’s either on his ass or plotting something insane and he’s never ready for either

you can tell vis is a middle child cause his entire family died and they forgot to include him

of the many many praiseworthy things that the hierarchy series has, i think the fact that each vis version was operating off of such limited information was by far the coolest (and most ironic). one has to spend the entire book trying to kill god and then another finds out that oops! we needed god alive actually lol. the third didn't even realize he was on a different world for like 500 pages. everyone is living and dying but bi twunk vis is eternal

Ulciscor had weirdly high expectations, for his extremely mid plan to: blackmail a random teenager into figuring out how his brother died. His success was thanks to his parents, arrange marrying him off to his problematic-age-gap-terrorist-wife (because he was making the family broke) who happened to be the talent scout of all time.

The Will of the Many is such a wild book because on one hand, Vis is sometimes lowkey Mary Sue coded, but at the same time, idgaf. Like yes, go off my wet rat of a dethroned bisexual prince who always comments in his head about how beautiful men and women are the first time he meets them. Fight off insanely more well-equiped and stronger enemies with your sheer rage and battle prowess. Be a know it all with your random niche knowledge of esoteric philosophers that have been banned in this empire. Go have chemistry with literally every other major side character in the text besides the one Islington tries to force you to have sex with, king. I will read 700 pages of this twunk trying to survive this strange academy *happily*
