The fact that Essek storms off "in a huff" and is literally brought to tears when he sees Caleb mourning Molly...there's just so many interesting implications for shadowidomauk there.
It's the fact that Essek saw Caleb kiss Molly on the forehead the way he kissed him--saw Caleb repeat these familiar phrases in battle to Lucien that he once used to comfort Essek. Essek learning Caleb's love language, and seeing it reflected in how he treats Mollymauk.
It's Essek seeing Caleb at his lowest, at his most desperate and hopeless--how very wrong it feels to see him like this, how painful it is to watch him fall apart over losing Mollymauk. "Caleb Widogast, have you ever accepted defeat?"
Because of all things, it is Molly's death that leaves Caleb more brokenhearted than Essek's ever seen him, the only time he's ever truly admitted to knowing defeat--"Maybe today. For the first time." The way Caleb came all this way and tried so desperately to save him, and it still wasn't enough. He poured his whole heart and soul into that ritual, and it just wasn't enough.
Essek being moved by the Nein's own grief, choked up and crying for this person that he never even met. Insisting over and over, "It's not fair--it's not fair...We've just all come so far. It's not fair." And it's the moment that Caleb kisses Molly on the forehead and says his goodbyes that really breaks Essek's heart, the passion and gutting loss of Caleb's own grief that sends Essek storming off and fighting back tears.
Do you think...Essek ever tells Kingsley what happened that day? How hard Caleb tried to save him--how much it shattered him when Tealeaf was still lying dead in his arms? Do you think he ever told King about the forehead kiss and how tender Caleb was with him--how he must surely love him? Do you think Essek admits that even he was crushed when Tealeaf didn't wake, that he never knew him before, but still mourned him all the same?
Do you think he ever quietly tells Kingsley that he's happy he came back, how much it means to him--especially for Caleb's sake--
Do you think Kingsley ever kisses either of the wizards on the forehead and everything just. Kinda falls into place for Essek--

This moment right here, yeah?
Morpheus is about to leave (and of my gods Tom is such a good actor) but before he moves Hob does this tiny but sure step towards him and I. Am. Not. Okay. About that.
What did he want to do really? Did Hob try to iniciate a hug? Or what was that about?
That disappointed look down, for a split second he looks so dejected when Morpheus storms out. And then, as a good opportunist, he again almost confidently? defiantly? raises his head and looks towards Morpheus to catch him in the rain...
I had Ferdinand Kingsley for half an episode and I would kill for him.

It was just their typical morning before work until Vincent casually brought up the topic of the future and kids to Renee. However, their conversation was interrupted by a phone call from his law firm. His schedule can be so busy at times and he needed to get there early. Today was also the day he would meet his new paralegal and he's hoping his job would be much easier with their help.

really the thing about kingsley becoming the plank king that's so funny to me is like. he has a totally respectable and secure job in a shipping company. his life of piracy is a passion project. he 100% does not need to turn to a life of crime.
imagine if your ups man went rogue, vanished to smuggle for the silk road, and then showed up two years later as the head of the gambino crime family. that is exactly what happens.

I love that Kingsley and Caduceus are canonically buddies… I bet Kingsley brings out the absolute bitchiest side of Cad and they have a great time gossiping about their friends together.

New redraw just dropped!
Feat. Two characters who have never and probably will never canonically interact because I like the idea of them being buds

Armed and dangerous. Been watching 'reacher' and all I think of is Hob. Sometimes this boy is not as sweet as you think he is.

Thinking about Molly, and Kingsley, and Lucien, about memory and identity and the nature of personhood.
Because what is personhood, really? Molly wasn't Lucien and Lucien wasn't Molly, but Molly remembered enough of Lucien to know he didn’t like him, and Lucien remembered enough of Molly to keep him from killing the Nein.
Kingsley isn't Molly. Or is he? He has emotional memories of the Nein, Yasha especially. He dreamed of a circus. Is he the same piece of soul that once grew into Molly, washed clean once again? Or is he just the same body, carrying recollection etched into the flesh like muscle memory? What’s the difference between body and personhood, anyway?
And even if he truly is Molly, wiped clean and new, is he actually Molly? Because what are we if not our memories, the experiences that shape our personalities? Molly 'grew up' in the circus, gained his idea of style from there; Kingsley, meanwhile, having never had anything to do with a circus, took one look at Molly's outfit and declared it garish.
In the end, it’s irrelevant whether Molly and Kingsley are the same person. They decided to make themselves, create their own identities out of what they'd been given. Maybe on some physiological level they are the same, but functionally they are not and never will be, because they do not share experiences and memories.
This intersection of body, choice and identity is something of a theme in c2. Veth and Nott are the same person, but they are also not. Nott is reshaped not only by the trauma she experienced, but also by being trapped in a body so different from her own. Her feelings get heightened, her personality a little sharper. Bren and Caleb are the same, but also not. So much of Caleb's journey is shaped by letting go of the guilt his past self carries, while also embracing and forgiving the manipulated child he used to be. Yasha was not the one who chose to commit the evils she did while mind controlled, yet she remembers doing them, and carries the guilt of them as well. Both she and Molly have holes in their memories where they know they must’ve done bad things, but while Molly decided someone other than him carries the guilt, Yasha does not. Both of these are valid choices. They themselves decide who they are.
The entire Kryn dynasty is built around the concept of being born as one person, shaped by childhood and family, only to in your teens experience anamnesis and remember being someone completely different and much, much older, and being expected to step up and take this stranger's place (god I wish we got to meet one of those Empire kids who were actually reborn Dynasty citizens).
So what is personhood, really? When can you choose who you are, and when do you need to accept your sins and face the music?

COMMENTS: why is everything i write for the red army?! um easy answer dont answer that I KNOW WHY i love them and i dont know the black army that well at all ok THANK YOU BYE
Tumblr media
lancelot says “why do you care about me?” to tell you that caring for him isn’t necessary, that he doesn't need to be held, that he can bear the weight of the world. he says it to you because he doesn’t want you to get involved. if you were to be hurt, he doesn’t know what he would do with himself. he needs to be stronger, he needs to hold on, he needs to make things better for you.
jonah says “there aren’t enough strawberries on this!” because he wants you to have only the best of everything he can give. it’s a bit embarrassing to be pampered like this, and he knows you feel that way, but he can’t help himself. if you want to indulge in his favorite dish with him, it has to be perfect, just like you.
edgar says “let me hold you” because he still isn’t sure if he should. you’ve made it plenty clear that you still want to be with him, through thick and thin and anything that comes your way, but he has blood on his hands that he’ll never wash off. your acceptance, to him, is like saying “i love you too.”
zero says “please be safe” because he only ever wishes to see you smile. he knows it’s impossible to protect you from everything, but that doesn’t stop him from wanting to try, from wanting to do his absolute best. he loves you so much, so very dearly, that he wants nothing but the best for you now and forever.
kyle says “take care of yourself.” he doesn’t say please because he isn’t asking, he’s demanding that you stay healthy and happy and safe, because he never wants to see you in his clinic unless it's for annual checkups. you’re the last person he wants to see suffering, the last he wants to see bleeding, the last he wants to see frowning.
