Thinking about book 7 and I am really glad that they are taking their time with it?
I know that it’s longer than the other twst books and more lore, but I think it needs that.
It’s needs the length and it needs all these events to occur.
It needs its time to spread out these events so we can not only learn about the characters but the events that influenced these characters.
Which we didn’t need before in previous books, but this one we do. Because of the situation at hand compared to previous books would not work the same way if they followed the pattern nor would it give that effect.
We need to know why certain events took place. How certain characters came to be and what influenced their relationships.
What led to these events.
And while, yes, the angst is painful and tear jerking, these moments were very much needed.
Because without learning them first hand, without seeing it, we wouldn’t be as hit as we were in the previous books. And this is the only way for us to get that same effect as previously.
We can be in their shoes now and feel the pain they went through.
It’s very different when you’re told about an event that happened versus actually seeing the characters go through it and experiencing it.
So despite the length and the pain, I like that they are taking their time and hashing it out the way they are.
The wait was definitely worth it just for that. And I know it can be frustrating, but for a dorm that was always mysterious and we had barely no info on, it is what they needed to do.
So we, the players, can get a grasp on the story and these characters really well.
And I am thankful they are taking their time with it, despite wanting everyone to be happy you know? And wanting to see that happy ending and for them to be a family again.
Because it will be all the more satisfying once we get there, once we travel through that distance, and we finally get to that ending. As we also feel their relief and happiness after such a long and hard won journey, and that’s what I’m looking forward to.
That’s feeling of happiness, relief, and affection because it was all worth this long journey we had.

Simultaneously excited to see Barriss again, while also not liking the idea of a major Muslim-Coded character being demonized further, while also wanting a redemption for her, while also not wanting it to only happen here because we still shouldn’t sidestep the fact that she killed innocent people for basically nothing and four(?) episodes isn’t enough to handle that kind of storyline, while also-

I don’t care about Henry Winchester but I do think it would have been funny if he just had to keep living in the future. No spell to send him back. Congratulations, all your friends have been hunted down and slaughtered, your organization is in shambles, and everything you worked for never mattered because the war against the supernatural is still happening two generations down! Your son is long since dead and spent his whole life thinking you abandoned him, and his children still hold a grudge against you for this despite the fact that you were fleeing for your life from a demon and always intended to return!

I did not know Jeremy Jordan originated a role in newsies, I just knew him as varian from tangled... huh, you learn new things everyday
He was the original Jack Kelly in the stage show and there is a proshot on Disney+ starring him that you can watch any time. My family personally watches it every Labor Day.
Also, if you’ve seen the movie The Greatest Showman, despite not having a role in the film he was vital to getting the film greenlit, a story you can watch him tell here and while he may not be P.T. Barnum, from the way you see his storytelling abilities kick in there, I personally think he’s the actual greatest showman.
Also, funny kind of, another thing he did is he was the original Clyde Barrow in Bonnie and Clyde on Broadway, and then in the past few years or so they decided they wanted to transfer B&C to the West End and so they did a test concert, kind of like with Death Note, and Jeremy came over to be their Clyde, but the original Bonnie couldn’t come (long ass story but she’s kind of blacklisted from theatre because she lied about getting vaccinated for Covid) so they had to recast the role and they cast Frances Mayli McCann to be the Bonnie to his Clyde - who then went on to be the original West End Misa, so at least in that universe, Light and Misa went down together to the end.
