Nothing Much

I understand why people get rid of Wick's dangly earrings and nail polish and stuff when they make sort of "modern" designs for him, but it still bums me out a bit. Like, come on. Let him be a lil feminine.

I spent a huge chunk of my ten hour shift thinking about how Wick and Hal's relationship could play out, and now I'm home and too tired to write it all out. Something something, Wick as the Halovar in charge of interfacing with Hal and the Hallowed Round, something something, the two of them being allies on the same page working together but also at the same time Wick is a Halovar asking him to work for Halovar interests. Wick is THE Halovar, the face and hands of Hal's oppressor, and this resentment just growing and growing til it bursts. Wick a man who already thinks the honorable thing to do is just take it and is freshly feeling the horror of not taking it. Something something, toxic yaoi, something something, whump. You understand.

Petra and Ryah mention that Wick's engagement to Ebecca is unusual, which could mean a lot of things, but they mention that her family is one of the lesser noble houses immediately after and I really like the idea that she's unfashionably close to lower class. I think it would be really interesting for her to be an ambitious, opportunistic social climber who was granted an opportunity that nobody could have ever reasonably expected her to get, and she's just holding onto it with both hands.

I love the fucking lip service paid to the fact that we don't know Armas' race just dying bitterly three paragraphs in so op can go ahead and call people whose headcanons they disagree with racist.

joining the war on gay Wick on the side of gay Wick.

I really dislike how people will point to Wick's capacity to get angry and lash out as proof that he's a dom, cause, like. That's not how that works. Tyranny gets angry and lashes out and she vocally enjoys the idea of being tied up and bossed around, cause as it turns out subs and doms alike have access to the full spectrum of human emotion.

Man, I think Tyranny's plan is pretty bad, I think it would be nuts to have this lie work, but also. Kattigan lost a finger for this stupid ass plan. Brennan may or may not respect that idk.

Last minute guesses/wishes for Teor's death boon to Wick; I think Divine Sense is the most practical choice. I think it's something Teor used often enough that it would feel very much like a piece of him, and also it's very useful in its own right regardless of where Wick ends up. I do not think "Find Steed" would be either thematically relevant or useful for a character who seems like he's gonna be doing subterfuge for the next while, however. I do want Teor to give Wick a horse.
