gotta say i love murph's specific tone and cadence for yelling "I DIDNT SAY ANYTHING WEIRD" which is in the same voice he said "YOU GUYS ARE GONNA SAY SOMETHING WEIRD ON PURPOSE AND THE VULTURES GONNA KILL US"

There’s something very nice about remembering fics you read years ago. Maybe you remember the plot perfectly, maybe the rest of the fic is only a blur aside from a handful of vivid scenes, but you remember the way it made you feel. And sometimes you dredge up the memory - the premise or a favourite scene or a few lines that stayed with you -  and your heart aches a little bit, the way it does when you think about books you enjoyed as a child.

To all the fanfiction writers out there: your work is beautiful and meaningful and it leaves an impact. I promise.

i hate this weird sense of internalized queerphobia of like. being visibly and really loudly queer is somehow immature and childish and one day you'll grow up and fall into cishet line and stop

'she hates me because im a german shepard' should be at least a lyric on fig's new album. or an extremely long song title.

it's just really funny to me to imagine Fabian actually being a great big brother honorable nemesis.

like, putting a nemesis ward on the nursery with aelwyn's help since "it won't do if they die before their eighteenth birthday, will it?" (aelwyn, deeply sarcastic: "well of course, that is exactly why I put the ward on adaine's room." fabian, too deep in denial for sarcasm: "see? you get it")

gifting them a battle sheet baby blanket since they should start preparing for their battle early on (and yes it's extra fluffy, it's for a baby stop laughing everybody)

generally trying to teach them everything he knows "so their battle to the death will be a fair one"

giving their adventuring party the same lecture on tactics that the bad kids got from his papa

hunting down chungledown bim and any other nemesis so his sibling is the only one who could get a piece of his fund (he just wants it to stay in the family, shut up)

just. fabian being an amazing big brother but also if you call him that to his face he will cut you

Something I just noticed about Jace's design is that, while he has always had the scarf, it wasn't always covering his chest.

I'm not sure if this actually matters, or if it's going to be retconned or something, but this would imply that he wasn't being affected by the rage crystals in Freshman Year.

Ladies and gentlemen we may finally be at the Brennan Breaking Point of the season

no because this line paired with the straight face killed me but also reads like a teenager trying to hide their excitement over the prospect of sharing her space with 15 cats

hey guys! do you think after her and tracker broke up, kristen thought she’d have to leave mordred? do you think she got out a half explanation to jawbone that he didn’t understand and assumed meant that she’d be gone for the evening, not forever? do you think adaine or fig walked in on her packing? do you think she cried because she didn’t want to have to go back to her parents but she didn’t want to bother fabian or riz and sandra lynn had to try and explain that she wasn’t there because of tracker, she was there because they loved her?

do you think that might have been the first time a parent figure told kristen that since she left home?

dang y'all

Thinking about. Rizbert. Erizabeth. Rizwalda. Riz has to be short for something because... because why? Is he 'too good' for a short name? (a goblin name?) Isn't he surrounded by non-goblins who cannot think outside their cultural perceptions of what a name is supposed to be? Riz both as a name and as a person seems short & lesser but don't worry, he's really something greater, something larger and longer than can be expressed with his native name. As if something small cannot be powerful and important without secretly being large. As if there is only one way to be great. It's like Sklonda said, his name is Riz. Just Riz, as if there's anything 'just' about it.

i will say kipperlilly’s rage at riz specifically for having an unfair advantage in his dad’s tragic murder when riz has been practically killing himself all year bc they are a single parent low income household and won’t be able to afford uni without a scholarship precisely because his dad’s tragic murder isn’t accounted for is just,,,, oh boy

Not to “um actually” but Um, Actually the Bad Kids didn’t have any chaperones for their Spring Break quest they had hirelings.

Sandra Lynn, Cathilda, Tracker, Ragh, and to a lesser extent, Gilear, were all technically working for the Bad Kids.

The Bad “in charge of 3 legal & 2 near-adults” Kids vs The Rat “need a chaperone because they aren’t good enough” Grinders had wildly different Spring Break quests

absolutely insane with and without context. i think it might actually be wilder with context
