life jhand hai aur bahar thand hai

I don't have to ask. I've been told by a few people that yeah, I am intimidating (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

the scenes with vel and kleya were lovely. HOWEVER. it rubs me the wrong way that vel (whomst i adore!! but whose, er, luggage for which her girlfriend's death was Totally Necessary Guys turned out to be for that one incredible monologue and then......not much else?) has survived to be once again the "come away from the window" to a woman who has lost absolutely everything to the empire and who has given every moment of her life to the rebellion and revenge. would it not be more narratively interesting, if one of vel or cinta had to die (which. come on. either they die together committing to love AND revenge or the one who has never had to live without the rebellion has to survive! and that is not vel!), for it to be cinta in that position? but i guess that would mean an extra non-white character surviving in a main role, which we can't have, apparently
