As the roar continued on, the 'King of the Underworld' addressed me. [Now, go.]
Hades didn't even look at me when he said that.
Even though he didn't, he was still looking at me.
He had always been looking at me.
[< Underworld > is your ally from this moment on.]
Yesssss. Such an epic scene.
But, more importantly, we've cemented the fact that not only have Hades and Persephone been watching him from basically his first moments, it was Hades who first found him (everyone did say that Hades liked Dokja even if he doesn't say much) and that Dokja was actually prophesied to come hundreds of years ago.
Which I think is interesting because them receiving a prophecy specifically about their successor finding the end isn't quite the same as when Dionysus said that the end was prophesied to come.
Aside from this particular prophecy, we haven't really seen anything else in the entire Star Stream that can see any information about Dokja, including his future, except for maybe Anna Croft who may or may not be able to see it. (Upon reflection, I've started to wonder if maybe she could just see it at that time due to how thin the Fourth Wall was on the island? I guess we'll see.)
Of course, that's only if it turns out Dokja actually is the one in the prophecy.
Maybe it's just vague enough to not technically be about Dokja and so there was wiggle room to make it about Dokja since they are, ultimately, the ones to choose their successor?
Except they don't actually want Dokja to succeed them.
Hmmm.
Also, it makes sense why Persephone and Dionysus were immediately so warm to him and Dokja himself has thought back on certain events (when talking to Dionysus back in chapter 334) and realized that maybe he'd gotten a little lucky.
Or, at least he was almost lucky. Dokja did specifically mention the Even Bridge in the very beginning of the novel and how it just randomly appeared when they were in trouble and we all know how that turned out...

the thing about jason and bruce (robin!jason run) is that there are too many panels of jason literally spelling out to bruce that he sees him as his father, but far too few of bruce seeing himself as anything other than jason's guardian.
"guardian and father are like basically the same thing" yes but no because jason explicitly wanted a father, a man to happily and proudly call his dad. little jason was literally just all about making bruce proud and hated making him upset/having bruce upset with him. that kid was trying his absolute best to prove his worth as bruce's child as though he was a kid in an orphanage trying his best to stand out to the incoming couples looking to adopt. jason wanted to stay so bad with bruce and be a part of the family.
which is why it's even sadder to think about how maybe he realized what he wanted just wasn't what bruce wanted. so the second he got news from sheila, someone supposed to be his mother, he didn't hesitate to run to her

People will probably get on my case for complimenting anything Squimpus made, but I'm obsessed with the way they characterized William Afton. I wish more depictions of him were like that, just this average guy, maybe in his late thirties or early fourties, who sounds like a normal father and casually talks about committing horrible crimes, not really standing out otherwise
I'm not sure how scares like the ones in fnaf vhs would work if they were integrated into the movie. Probably not well. But it's interesting to consider how it could have been different in depicting technology from the eighties

The way that Stede treated Izzy during episode 3 were some of the ONLY times I could stand seeing Izzy on screen so far this season because it finally felt like someone who recognized him and was treating him rationally tbh
I adore this show and the people who worked on it, but ffs, it feels like they all enjoyed Con too much and the Izzy-Enjoyers Fanon of his character last season and jumped the gun on his redemption arc.
I'm going to go through and explain this more, but I just wanted to put that out there first while I lay out why Stede's expressions and reactions make so much more sense coming out of season 1's events.

one of our cats sprained his front paw or something so he's been limping a bit and as such has been getting a shitton more attention these past few weeks
i guess the calico is a little jealous because she's been pretending her paw is hurt by lifting it up when she sits (much like the hurt cat does) but she walks perfectly fine and runs around like normal
