I Won't Let Them Take Him

holy shit. glendower is cabeswater. they found him, woke up, and asked for their favor (bringing gansey back to life). "cabeswater was not a forest. cabeswater was a thing that happened to look like a forest right now." but what was it before? "cabeswater was not quite mortal." implying that at least part of it is/was. glendower surrounded himself with psychics and magicians and dreamers and tir e e'lintes, and how convenient that adam, ronan, and blue were attached to cabeswater in those same ways. throughout the series, gansey is consistently presented as being like glendower, because he is glendower, because cabeswater brought him back to life. noah told him he will live because of glendower—not because glendower saved him the first time (that was noah, choosing what would become of his sacrifice. an unwilling death for a life.) but because glendower saved him the second time by giving gansey his life force. there was nothing but bones in that cave because glendower was cabeswater the whole time.

NOW IS HER TIME!!!!!!! where is SHE????

thinking about willow (2022) again because it really was the show ever. fun stock tropes that are turned on their heads (ex: the prince is kidnapped, the princess is the asshole with a heart of gold character). a classic fellowship going on a quest across the world. magic system that's cool as fuck. awesome fight scenes. the main couple is two women and they kiss in the first episode. a guy gets possessed more than once. the power of love is taken so seriously and carries a lot of weight. it's about next gen characters from a fantasy movie made in the 1980s. funny as hell. a major theme is what we do with the burden of legacy and what happens when the role we thought we'd have isn't the role we end up fulfilling. beautiful setting. epic fight scenes. a timeline that doesn't make sense if you think about it too hard but many shows have that so we can let it slide. there was definitely a planned three season story. disney not only cancelled the show but removed it from the platform. did i mention the main couple is two women.
