can’t get over how fucked the three city blocks of Baldur's Gate we explore is. vampire den, mummy lord, hag lair, no less than two cults, haunted mansion, a demon lord whoring it up, evil clowns. is the rest of the city normal. why do they have a Spirit Halloween district.
You want to know why Inigo Montoya remains such an iconic and beloved character even 35 years after the Princess Bride came out?
It's because he's one of the few characters in fiction who has a story where he has dedicated his life to revenge, his whole motivation is about getting revenge....and he gets it! and then he isn't empty or despairing! he doesn't regret it! he's totally satisfied!
because so many stories about revenge or rage are about characters "seeing the futility of their actions" or learning "their desire for revenge has only made them the monsters they hated" FUCK THAT.
Inigo Montoya kills the man who kills his father, is allowed to live in the narrative after and be happy about it and it is so satisfying. it's fantastic. it's iconic.
let more characters rage against the world, bring it down with bloodied hands, and let them be FUCKING RIGHT about it. Let them celebrate their success with sharp grins, and let them live happy, full lives where they always remain proud/fulfilled for what they've done
ruben writing hit songs about being mad and toxic... aguefort students going crazy for them.... kipperlily dosing the whole school with devil's nectar..... students singing about being mad while dosed with devil's nectar...... everyone having random rage outbursts.......
so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
Nevaeh Murphy had always lived in a world of monsters. Not just the angels and demons that her father preached about, but werewolves and vampires, shapeshifters and ghosts, spirits and curses, and everything else that goes bump in the night. She had grown up learning to hunt them, how to protect the unknowing civilians around her. But she was also one of them, she knew that. She didn’t know what she was, no one knew exactly, but she knew that she was something… different. She knew that something had happened in her childhood, something that even an exorcism couldn’t entirely undo, but she didn’t know what, or why.
But she knew, when Dean Winchester called, looking for help tracking down his missing father, that the Winchester brothers would be her best shot at unravelling the mysteries of her past.
I’ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Not me reaching but I really believe in this scene Angel asked Power about Aki because he was clearly interested and Power was probably like "bruh hes gonna die in like 5 years dont even try"
