I find twists like that super satisfying but I completely missed what everyone else thought bc I was trying to avoid spoilers (pretty surprised I managed to avoid seeing that one) - what did you think of that reveal initially? and then, what do you think now (especially with the way bucktommy situation is currently)?

hi hi ty for sending this!! my jaw was on the floor too when i saw it in the episode, and after the shock wore off i was mad about it, because it's SUCH a retcon of s1 canon and makes all the characters look stupid. like first of all abby's tommy was her *boyfriend* not her fiance of two years, and then there's the whole what was the point of tommy about to marry a woman if he's not going to bring her around the 118 and go by dispatch and sell the lie that he's trying to make himself believe??? it's also so pointless in the show because if they did want to make the abbytommy of it all believable, they could've at least stuck to their own canon and made tommy simply abby's boyfriend briefly, because that doesn't change anything about how they used the abbytommy reveal to pull apart bucktommy. so in canon i hate it bc it's just tim minear trying to make himself look smart and exposing himself further as having no plan for the show.

NOW all that being said, the fanon of it all makes me LOVE the abbytommy backstory. i definitely pick and choose when i want to incorporate it into my own canon, because the special thing about tommy kinard is that he has a multitude of backstories <3 abbytommy made me fall back in love with abby (i liked her in s1, was neutral about her in s2, and then disliked her after the non-apology to buck in s3). but the added context of tommy's cruelty to abby (yes i'm using that word bc he did hurt her and he's honest enough to own up to it) puts abby's cruelty to buck (bc her ghosting buck who waited thinking she was coming back and then showing up with a fiance was cruel) into perspective. i love how this fandom has found the nuance within the abbytommy relationship and made it something very interesting and fun to pick apart. i love the angst of abbytommy, and i think they did love each other in a way, but tommy could never love abby the way she needed and abby always knew there was something missing, and i think the stress of their relationship added to her mom being sick really broke something in abby that buck helped fix.

thank you for tagging me @leoleofitz

oh 1000% to all of this, els! the way i wish we could have outfit gifsets... but alas. i definitely agree that she’s easier to swallow as a viewer because we don’t have to actually deal with her -- i know for a fact if i knew her in real life she’d drive me insane LOL, yet she’s so much fun to write and watch wreak havoc. but i appreciate you highlighting the fact that she does have a depth to her, because she does have these rare tender moments underneath the confidence that show, yes, she is in fact human somewhere in there

THANKS FOR SAYING SO MISS ELLIE <3

today, we’re tackling the climactic confrontation in quincy willows. i just woke up feeling ready for some villain monologuing, so i felt ready to tackle the first draft and see where it might take me. i’m about halfway through (the actual action of the scene is just about to begin), so we shall see how things go!

since you asked, here’s a little snippet that hopefully won’t be too spoilery (wouldn’t want to spoil the big bad reveal after all) [ insert first draft disclaimer blah blah blah ]

“And yet, the pieces still fell into my favor in due time. The Devereuxs, never having much believed in the Normie disease theory and now desperate to prove that their exiled daughter could come home, went in search of another hapless mortal to bring into their home.”

Much like when he first met Candace, Jonah feels a strange shift in the air around them as [ redacted ] seems to reach the ending of their explanation. Only this looming power is less grounded, more erratic and zaps all of the oxygen into static in a way that makes it hard to breathe. The damaged energy forcibly taken from so many innocent souls.
