Sooo... Um. "Fool for love" huh.
I wish my brain was functioning properly right now so I could write a fucking doctoral thesis about how absolutely BRILLIANT this episode is. However, it left me curled up on the floor shaking and crying, unable to put words together in a sentence that would make sense to anyone but me. So, yeah. What a fucking episode!?
As a side note, the fact that btvs writers clearly could write something of such quality but didn't /couldn't makes me really fucking sad. Because nothing in this show prior to this episode made me so feral and I feel like they missed out on a lot of opportunities to make their show this special.
A bit of incoherent thoughts because I just need to put it somewhere: something about Spike saying "I've always been bad" and them cutting to him being nice and kind and polite and gentle. Something about them telling us that demons are just shells of humans with no emotions or anything underneath. And then showing us bits and pieces of human Spike that he somehow got to keep? (like that parallel between vamp Spike saying "ow ow ow" as Buffy beats him up and human Spike saying the same thing as Dru draines him). Don't get me wrong he's a fucking asshole but he's capable of decency (if not kindness) and he's still as cringe as he was before he grew out a shiny pair of fangs. And him KNEELING BEFORE BUFFY as he tells her the secret of her mortality (crappy screenshot attached because I can't get it out of my head)
And him being unable to kill her and being the only person that kept her company in THAT moment.
There's more things but my brain is all mushy and I literally can't think straight.

Roe "What do you mean I'm bleeding?" Caddel
Ed "He points to the floor and I kneel; a tool, a machine, his" Byrne
Will "I will leave such a mark, others will have to know me to understand you." Lockwood
Roe (she/her) engineering student, competitive and silver-tongued, and quick to talk herself out of situations. Until she can't.
Ed (he/they) rising star, who burned out as quickly as they rose, and who knows where they disappeared to? A shame, they had such promise.
Will (he/him) works with the Recreation agency and has a new pet project: half metal, half human-- there is not much left of Ed. Except he's taken it too far. He's given an ultimatum: fix it, or pay the full consequences.

Thinking about summer 2020 when I had heard like 30 total seconds worth of Talk of the Town via teasers and went "oh man Abby’s gonna rip this guy a new one Daniel does not have it in him" on vibes alone, and then the album came out and I was 100% correct.

Roger Federer talks about his retirement ceremony and how he will forever be grateful for what Rafael Nadal has done for him in London.
Summary: He mentioned that the handholding moment was an unconscious gesture for him as a way of saying thank you to Rafa, and how special it was to have it memorialised in pictures because they didn't realise they were being recorded. He hoped to get all the angles of it because it meant a lot to him!

Re: clock in captaon's office, i think byakuya just intrinsically knows the time via some finely tuned internal sense thanks to senbonzakura, but ONLY in the spring. When it's not spring he needs to look outside and calculate the angles of sunbeams and cast shadows and stuff. All of his subordinates can suck it bc if their soul pagers can check the time then why would he, kuchiki byakuya, ruin the perfect aesthetic of his office by installing something so crass as a clock. ~LexiLopezi
[int., Squad 6 Offices]
Byakuya: ...which made *me* three minutes late, and ruined the entire evening. I fear I can never have firefly squid again without thinking about it.
Renji: Y'know, I happened to mention your "perfectly calibrated inner timeclock but only in the springtime" thing to Akon at pub trivia the other night--
Byakuya: At what?
Renji: --and he said that probably what's goin' on is that you experience time funky.
Byakuya: I experience time correctly, Lieutenant.
Renji: No, no, see. Most of us, we're kinda hooked into the natural flow of time. Like during the winter, when time speeds up during the day and slows down at night, so we can rest more in the sleepy part of the year. But you feel time as this, like, steady beat, like this artificial order imposed on the universe. Which. You know. Tracks.
Byakuya: That sounds like, as Rukia would say, some hot nonsense. My sense of chronology is perfectly attuned with the vernal rhythm.
Renji: Yeah, because the equinox, which is in the spring, is when the day and the night are the same length, so it's the one time your weird brain clock happens to line up with the real one.
Byakuya: ...
Renji: Akon says that's actually how they keep time in the World of the Living. That's actually how time works in the world of the Living, atomic decay, so on and so forth. He says there's an entire team of people at the Twelfth whose job it is to try to keep our clocks synched with the ones in the World of the Living. He says you should come down and have a chat with them, they're real nice and they always have interesting snacks.
Byakuya: I really do wish you would stop fraternizing with that man.
