i’m not in the asseylum hate boat here i actually think her behavior up until episode 23 makes sense and slaine was being kind of an ass in spite of his good intentions but episode 24??? what??? did i miss a memo here or something that made this all make sense

i mean i guess asseylum did ask for slaine to be saved from sadness so i suppose inaho prolonged his life to show slaine whatever would make him “happy” or idk.

i feel like asseylum did “understand” what slaine did for her but her response was so flat and subtle that you feel like she never knew? i could acknowledge the counter argument that she had no idea tho so i’ll refrain on talking too much about it (but in general i feel like az was really “subtle” and so a lot of what the series wanted to show went unnoticed)

anyway but yeah really like idk how it makes sense that people would settle for slaine being blamed for asseylum’s assassination. wtf why didn’t they just blame saazbaum tbh he was the one who did it

(though i think it would be super interesting if asseylum commented on how this must be done for the “better” of vers since it would imply changes in her since she began ruling but w/e)

and i just. EVERYTHING WAS LEFT SO UNRESOLVED? WE’RE JUST LEFT TO ASSUME EVERYONE GOT OVER THEIR PROBLEMS.

this finale needed to be divided up in like, 2-3 freaking episodes. that was abysmal. /facepalm

AND ASSEYLUM NEVER EVEN TALKS TO INAHO OR SLAINE??? wat

i mean tbh i can kind of see why she doesn’t contact him anymore since she’s an extremely high profile person it’s not easy for her to visit slaine who should be dead BUT ALL THE SAME SHE NEVER EXPLAINS THAT OR EVEN MENTIONS IT so it’s kind of hard to remember that

az relies so much on subtleties and assumptions that the viewers will be able to pick up on things that they’ve written and it’s just

so poorly written like that i just
