ah, yes, the quentin coldwater spiral, i know it well. <3

i think it actually mostly works for me though? as a show-don’t-tell thing. i think it’s so clear, throughout the seasons, that fillory does not actually mean that much to him. he gets the choice to be king, over and over (eliot has to poke him hard in 2x12 and invoke “you chose to be king and this is what that means” to get him to leave brakebills south), and he doesn’t take it, because alice means more. in 3x10 when he’s like “uh, can i point out the uncomfortable truth” @ eliot and margo about how fillory deposed them... he’s just not touched by it! because fillory doesn’t actually mean that much to him, at least not compared to the people he loves. hard to say whether he’d realized that consciously (probably? he’s such an overthinker) but i think it’s clear in his actions, which is why 4x12’s speech felt so jarring.

(2/2) Both characters have different perspectives on multiple issues and we are meant to look at that and know why they think that way but understand why those cultures are wrong, regardless. Why do people think because something exists in a book or piece of fiction it means the author condones it?!! That’s not true. Anyway I would die for both Damen and Laurent and their slow burn romance filled with lots of love and understanding of each other is what real love is have a good night

asdhdfkf THANK YOU like holy shit it’s very worrying to me that people are leaving these furious reviews like they don’t intuitively realize that These Things Are Wrong like C.S. Pacat should not have to spoonfeed you MORALITY oh my god.

SHE WAS HOW OLD???

oh god i'm seeing this and getting flashbacks to me in 2013 so sure wally wasn't dead... yikes.

oh man those 2013 flashbacks are wild

@arrynzek replied to your post “Why are you so eager for YJ Wally to be dead? Do you hate him? :(”

Weirdly I hope he is dead because I've made my peace with that and if they bring him back my heart won't be able to cope

Oh man that’s even sadder. I would like to think he was his own person to some extent, granted he didn’t have free will but I think it can be argued he had some of his own wants/desires/hopes, perhaps based on the cornerstone memories of Shiro’s that he was given. I think the d&d episode was partly meant to show us Kuron’s human side, and so make his fate sadder and make us more conflicted about it. 

I think he wanted to be a paladin so badly because he’d started to suspect something was seriously wrong with himself. In s5 he told Lance he didn’t feel like himself; he didn’t say anything about it in s6 but I think he might have come to some conclusion that he really wasn’t himself, but he felt helpless and didn’t know what to do about it.
