#dawes

i swear i have leigh bardugo's instagram notifications turned on for when that announcement inevitably comes, fingers crossed it's next year!!

as for what i'm hoping for, oh man. buckle up, it's gonna be a long one.

turner's spidey sense coming in clutch bcuz it just sounded too much like magic to me at times

dawes finally finishing her thesis (i think it was on tarot cards)?? i want to know more abt the topic and it feels like such a chekov's gun to include it at all so i hope it will somehow become relevant in its own way, even if not in a major one

on a similar note, i want darlington's thesis project too!! his magical map of new haven, which michelle/the dean thought was a stupid idea except it's actually genius. idk if it could help hunting the demons or if he even has the capability of finishing it now that he's not himself anymore but idc. i want it. and while we're on the note of darlington - everything about him. new haven lore nerding, witty remarks, losing control, swearing (preferably in a love confession mhm iktr). i wouldn't be mad if he's somehow "cured" from being a demon but i think it would be much cooler if we get to watch him come to terms with it instead, learn to accept himself and adjust to what he is now instead of fighting it (something we got a hint for at the end of hell bent)

darlingstern. and the crowd cheered! everything about them. they don't feel like a lovey dovey/romantic couple but i wish they could sit down and talk about everything they know abt each other that they never meant to learn, abt carrying parts of each other now. i want angst, tension, intimacy, implicit trust, and whatever the hell kind of crack bardugo put in their twisted power dynamic in hell bent. i want them fighting demons alongside one another in the most badass way possible.

alex has been coming into her own ever since darlington went to spain (the s is silent) but i can't wait for her to find out what she really is and learn the extent of her power and use it to wreak absolute havoc among the demons (and maybe the societies?). i won't forget her promise for revenge to reiter at the end of hell bent. i also kinda hope we get something abt her father's side of the family

tripp. just tripp. silly goofy guy, now demon, what's up with that?

the societies need to be brought to their knees, like are we kidding? they're all incredibly corrupt, including lethe, the one who's supposed to be keeping them all in check - something needs to change there big time and i have a feeling alex will be the catalyst for it by brute force and darlington with his ideas. we are the shepherds.
