If we fail to anticipate the unforeseen or expect the unexpected in a universe of infinite possibilities, we may find ourselves at the mercy of anyone or anything that cannot be programmed, categorized or easily referenced. What are we doing up here, Scully? It's hotter than hell.
Its honestly eda's character development that really hits me now that the finale's over. After Eda got the curse, her entire life changed. She was already doing poorly fitting in at hexside, and then that just made things worse. When raine came into her life, she gradually began to love them, but she eventually pushed them away completely because of her curse. She didn't want to hurt them so she kept her secret from them, and they eventually broke up with her because of this. This left her alone, after she pushed both her father and mother away later in life and her sister joined the emperor's coven instead of her. She ended up just living by herself. This is where King and Luz came in.
With Luz just kinda being thrown into her life, she wasn't too thrilled about teaching her and did ask for something in return. But as time went on Eda became sort of a mother to Luz, and their bond grew stronger and stronger, until eventually Eda finally broke her curse while reuniting with her sister.
In Eda's requiem, she goes through a checklist including things she has do do for Luz and King, and says "You've changed, Owl Lady." She then smiles and picks up a photo of them and says, "It's worth it." This to me shows just how much she's grown from the beginning of the series, when she was tired, hesitant to teach luz, and still being controlled by her curse. She found a family in Luz and King and Lilith, and soon after reconnected with Raine, who reminded her, "you can't run from your fears forever, which is why you gotta jump on them." Just like she said to them when they were younger playing music together. She also reconciled with both her parents, and whens he finally talks to her father she still doesn't believe she deserves forgiveness for something the owl beast did, but he tells her to let the past stay in the past. When she finally defeats the owl beast, this is when she realizes that its not a part of her, its a curse and she can control it.
This all comes together at the end of the show, when we see that Eda is now the headmaster of The University of Wild Magic, and living happily with Raine. Even through everything, all of the battles she fought when everyone told her she was wrong, and all the friends and family she assumed wouldn't forgive her, she finally found peace.
Scully listing her symptoms after she is stung by the Africanized honey bee in FTF will always be such a vibe to me. She is literally going to anaphylactic shock but is still slaying with her medical jargon.
my favorite thing about fight the future is that it’s the pinnacle of x-files just doing things for the vibes. mulder gets shot in the head? he will shake it off. how did they escape antarctica when stranded with no gas? through love and perseverance babes
