#but yeah anyway i cry about magnus and julia like...daily

[words-writ-in-starlight]

I listen to TAZ during bus rides and for Reunion Tour I had to look out the window the entire time because my face was uh, doing things. like crying. "I don't know why, but I trust you?" and Taako going from "the list of people and things I trust are nothing and nobody" to "I trust Angus McDonald completely" and "THESE ARE THE ARMS THAT HELD MY WIFE" - pretty much every other line made me realize how far I've fallen for these idiots, and that's not even mentioning Johann and Carey and Killian

(cont.) and that good good Angus McDonald content of "noone who's looking for the truth could be evil". And Davenport... I don'tknow what I was expecting for him but it wasn't for NON-LICH BARRY to slip himichor (how did Barry even know. was he just going to give it to everyone. whata good guy), and then finding out in Stolen Century that he just wants to betaken seriously? what? has Lucretia done? but I can't even be fully upset withher because her intro in Stolen Century was so good. 

(cont.) I love that Griffin specifies that she's not actually scared at the bar fight, she's just too busy journaling to actually process what's going on (is she a can't see the forest for the trees type of person? and it's fascinating that we know what she did but not if it was actually helpful or not. this entire story structure is just so good) and LUP. I love that she takes potshots at the Hunger on Cycle 1 but serves as the moral compass in the next episode, and that her sibling dynamic

(cont.) with Taako works so well even though Justin only found out she existed like two episodes ago and just. Stolen Century in general. Can't wait to discover all the reasons these seven are going to stay behind and fight the Hunger and die because there's something worth staying for. Magnus' first death? Merle staying with his congregation? Absolutely brutal. (Speaking of brutal, Magnus and Merle trying to bond with Lucretia with varying success is heartbreaking knowing what's coming.)

(this is the last one, I promise) Listen, I'm so sorry for spamming your askbox, please let me know if you would like me to stop, I've fallen head over heels for this podcast and there are just too many good things to talk about.

Hey you havesuccessfully stumbled upon the top line I cry about with regard to this show,and it is “THESE ARE THE ARMS THAT HAVE HELD MY WIFE” like yeah yeah yeahcool Travis cool really awesome just ruin me with one sentence like that.

That’s fine.

But YES OH MY GOD ISN’T STOLEN CENTURY ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AMAZING, LIKE, JESUS, I LOVE IT.  And LUCRETIA, I would die for her, she’s such a fascinating character, I’ve seen so few characters whose ultimate downfall is that they’re so selfless they come right back around to...not quite cruelty, but definitely close.  I’ve seen people try but to do it well.

God I want to be Griffin McElroy when I grow up.  

And LUP, my ANGEL, she’s.  She’s so good.  She’s so wonderful.  I don’t have anything more elaborate to say just now because you have to live ever second of Story and Song in glorious detail, but I love Lup so much.  Also, I did not expect to love Barry but???? Barry Bluejeans, denim-clad nerd and co-savior of the multiverse.  My darling.

Oh, and here’s a shameless self-plug for this thing I wrote, seeing as you’re through Stolen Century now.
