Re: S4’s highlighting of Duality, taking what had previously been a background theme in prior seasons and bringing it to the forefront

The show has always had this theme of good and bad being wrought from the same characteristic or choice. On the one hand, this is just good writing; choices, like Callum smashing the primal stone to save Zym or doing dark magic to save Rayla, should have consequences. Ezran’s big heart and trusting nature is his greatest asset but also allows him to be taken advantage of. And of course, we have Rayla and Runaan as dual wielders, Viren’s two faces (corrupted and disguised), light and dark spelled out for us (ha!) from the start...

Viren: This place held both the promise of our salvation and the threat of our destruction. (2x05)

The Magma Titan mission itself, which kickstarted the latest phase of the cycle, was a small sacrifice of life that greatly impacted our main characters and their relationships, but ultimately revived the land.

All of this to say that S4 Rayllum are both truly only working with half the equation, particularly when it comes to themselves and their own experiences.

Rayla comes back in S4 with light on only half of her face. For the first few episodes, she seems saddened if fine, but 4x05 quickly shows that this isn’t true and that her experiences alone have radically changed her. She’s simultaneously exactly the way she was before (going off on her own, loving Callum dearly, going after Viren again) and completely different (walking away from the drake in 4x05, even arguably threatening Terry in 4x09). The best part of her selflessness - her heroic side - is gone, with the worst part of her selflessness - her blanket disregard for her own life - is still here. She’s still compassionate and caring and while not risking her life for anything is a slight step in the right direction (and so is coming back), it’s still not there for entirely the right reasons.

Callum is in a similar predicament. His openness and ability to be honest about his feelings was one of his best qualities in Arc 1, and largely what allowed him and Rayla to bond as quickly as they did. But we see in S4 that, as a result of her absence, he’s far more reserved, shut down, and less willing to talk. Not just about her, but also about his worries (he interrogates Soren in 4x01 rather than confiding in him) and about more pressing concerns (Ez has to coax him to talk about anything that’s bothering him, including Aaravos, in 4x05). But his cleverness, his love of magic and his family (Rayla, Ez) is still just as strong as ever. He’s more talented as a mage than he’s ever been before.

So Callum and Rayla are working with this duality in their characters. Rayla expresses only her love for Callum and little to nothing of what she’s been through without him; Callum refuses to express his love for her throughout much of the season, too consumed only by what the loss of her by her own hand has put him through.

Likewise, this duality and missing pieces extends to their understanding of one another. On the one hand, they have a better understanding of each other than ever before, as they’ve become more like each other. Rayla is more patient and open with expressing affection and wanting to talk things out; Callum is more closed off and sacrificial.

On the other hand, they’ve also never understood each other less. Rayla came back expecting a confrontation or argument, but got stony silence instead. Callum has no clue she walked away from the drake in the forest. He asks her to kill him because in his mind, she’s already chosen the world over him once by leaving; Rayla refuses because in leaving, she chose him over the world in many regards.

Additionally, it would not surprise me at all if Rayla thinks that Callum is mad solely because leaving hurt him, and not at all comprehending the fact that he’s also probably mad because leaving hurt her as well.

All of this is to say Rayllum’s previous symbolism in the background is being brought to the forefront. Rayla was his enemy and now Callum will be forced to be her enemy; they’re both enemies and lovers. Aaravos is tied to dark and light (with Rayla tied to that same light). She’ll either be the death of him and/or save his life. Her coming back into his life is both good and bad, forcing him to carry pain and love in his heart at the same time. They’ll be both helpful and hurtful to each other going forward.

And I think it’s an excellent display at 1) good character writing, 2) how layered their dynamic really is over the course of the, and 3) how steadily the show evolves their themes alongside Rayla and Callum’s dynamic, keeping perfectly in step, and I cannot wait to see where it all goes (or is deepened further) this summer.

Gif sets on my to-do list. 👩🏼‍💻

I want to do a S1 Mortel gif set of Victor & Luisa. That’s such a great coupling and I want to complement my S2 gif set of them. 😊 I need to re-do the S1 gifs I have already, tho, as most are under 2MB. Wish we were getting a S3.

Dangerous Liaisons 2022 on Netflix is an entertaining distraction I discovered a few weeks ago. I mainly enjoyed it for the 🔥 chem between the leads who play Celene & Tristan but it’s pleasant enough overall. I’ve already done a few gif sets on here searchable by characters names and actors names.

I’m chuffed about DC Titans ep 4x05 as it’s supposed to be heavily Dickkory. 💖

Currently gif’ing Cassie-centric gifs from ABC’s Big Sky cause she deserves all the love. 👩🏾‍🦱 This season has been pretty good so far. Tighter writing and intriguing main arc.

I have to finish up Industry S2 on HBOMax. It’s a good show though I am side-eyeing them for fumbling Harper & Rob after that strong S1 relationship foundation laid out for them. 📈

I want to do a few The Midnight Club gif sets. 🛏 Hoping there will be a S2 as I thought S1 was interesting with its foray into grief, death, hope, and acceptance but Netflix is notorious for being slow with most of its renewal / cancelation updates.

I’m still doing occasional Days of Our Lives and General Hospital soap opera gif sets but my main ships are either split up or angsty in the last year. 💘

I also need to get back to my slow Hollyoaks’ McDean and Alles Was Zaehlt re-watches to make some gifs. 😘

Titans writers give us DK S1. Tease us with it potentially coming back

S2, but then are like nah after 2x05. Everyone in the DK fandom, Every episode after 2x05, “Make them kiss already.” 4x01, Titans writers put a line of dialogue in the episode, “Make them kiss already.” 4x03, they tease us with a DK true loves kiss from Jinx (because Brenton was Prince Philip in Maleficent) 🙄 We better be getting that kiss in 4x05. Give us the damn kiss already! 😂 😂 😂

This is the worst edging I’ve ever experienced and like not in the fun way!!! I need that kiss QUICK FAST AND IN A HURRY. Imagine ending 2022 like that! I need a high that’s gonna carry me over until Part 2!!

The amount of sexual innuendo in Titans 4x05 Somebody is getting some soon (perhaps the next episode). Maybe a few people…. 😮

Anon, can I just start off by saying this episode was EVERYTHING and more. I still can’t get over the whole birthday scene. DICKKORIANS were thoroughly fed. I’ve been in a DK food coma since 2am but I digress. Sorry, back to the ask…Bestie, you are right, the sexual innuendo was at an all time high! TimBer trying to get some and Jinxy girl continuously trying to shoot her shot but I have one track mind when it comes to who should be having sexy time. You already know, it’s gotta be Dick and Kory or I don’t want it. LET THEM FUCK. It’s been far too long for my people. The clown in me is hoping we get it next episode or at least a conversation leading to them making things official.

Hope I answered your ask. I’m not functioning well today because I’m still here ⬇️👇Look how happy they are.🥺😍

even though I don't care about titans anymore I still think about Gar a lot because that version of the character is the most interesting to me, he's so different from the others versions. What happened to his parents? who knows. Niles Caulder took him and gave him his powers. Does he truly want to be a superhero? I dunno, there's lines of dialogue that suggest yes but there's also ones that suggest he's just staying with the Titans and going along with their plans/ideas because he has nowhere else to go and just trying to make his life mean something while with them.

besides the rare occasions (aka an episode writer who clearly likes his character like 3x06 and 4x05), the others barely interact with him for more than like five seconds and it's probably only for a humor moment, so I wouldn't blame him if he dumped the Titans and left once he found something better and more healthy for him.

and that's one of the things that makes him my favorite Gar, he's less "i joined the titans to be hero, i wanted help people" and more "i joined this dude and his friends thinking they'd give me a family again and now i'm superhero even though i didn't ask to be one and my life is even more fucked up"

i dunno if there's any other versions of Beast Boy who see the Titans like that and I love it, it's so much more interesting than "i wanna be a superhero". Gar (and Rachel) never got a choice, having powers and running into Dick made the decision for him.

If the show stayed away from the typical cw superhero show feel, I would've loved a scene between Gar and Dick where Gar calls Dick out for all his bullshit. Like Dick expressed so many times how much he hated Bruce for taking his childhood away by turning him into a weapon and then he instantly does that to Gar, another hurting kid who just wanted a family.

Titans 4x05 & 4x06 Reaction

I'm not putting a spoiler warning, I'm wayyyy too late in posting my reviews of these episodes that everyone should have watched by now.

This is my only warning.

4x05

-Connor being absolutely sick and not telling anyone is my villain origin story. This boy already has been through enough in 5 episode, but yes, Mother Mayhem, let's make the boy vomit up a giant snake and posses his body (Although, who wouldn't want to posses that man's body).

-Bernard and Tim running from the snake had me dying. Bernard falling had me cackling. Tim really thought he could do something to stop that snake, huh? Homeboy was trying to balance his boa staff on his head not even 20 seconds before that.

-Bernard gives me BIG Patrick vibes from Schitts Creek. I can't tell if its just they dynamic between Bernard and Tim where it somewhat reflects that of Patrick and David, but I'm such a fan of the coupling. I know there is a lot of mixed feelings between the pair, but I'm happy if they're happy.

-Jinx and gar's banter is actually pretty cute. Don't come for me lol.

-I'm glad Gar is trying to figure out more information about his visions and it's not just a dead-end plot-line this season. There is a huge purpose for Gar and I can't wait until it comes to fruition.

-Connor trying to sabotage the plan...boy did no one learn from season 3? Connor blew up Kom's only way home to Tamaran. He has been unstable for how many episodes now and no one seem to give a damn.

-Dick and Kori's brief conversation about the book annoyed me. Dick is such a nonbeliever that sometimes I want to reach through my screen and shaking some sense into him. And Kori did bring up a good point that Sebastian is there now and they should take him out, but Dick is also right in the fact that they took their time with Rachel and it ended okay (but it makes me think that since Sebastian exists, that's why Rachel ended up not evil and defeating Trigon).

-Dick's fucking cartwheel away from Connor, gold. Pure gold.

-I'm kinda sad Kori didn't take the Porsche.

-Elko's Diner anyone?

-Pregnant Connor, not what I expected today...

-For a place that is obsessed with Superman, they sure seem to have a lot of Kryptonite.

-Zadira is really out here to ruin everyone's day. I get it. The prophecy will happen and whatnot, but at least give Kori some credit for helping Rachel. The world would have ended two seasons ago.

-Not Connor bringing up Hank, bruh.

-Gar turning into a virus is such callback to Teen Titans. I love how they are showing all the different ways Gar can transform this season.

-Don't kill me, but I actually really like the friendship between Dick and Jinx. They should have not made Jinx another one of Dick's ex's, I will die on this hill. They have such a good dynamic and he clearly likes her enough to trust her with his friend's lives, so why make her an ex???

-Mother Mayhem sacrificing her one friend was dark. Even worse was Gina knew she would be the sacrifice. This season if full of chaos and I'm living for it.

-"Figure it out, we always do." Not Gar quoting Dick, my heart can't handle this.

-Side note: I love how Titans is real about injuries and death on this show. In comics and animated shows, there's this weird immunity to the heroes and there isn't any real consequences. But Titans is really upfront about it.

-"Casting a spell?" "No, praying." Jinx is so real for this lol.

-TIM HAD HIS MOMENT!! I was hoping he'd get to do something and I'm glad it was to save Bernard.

- "It's about the snacks." Honestly, Rachel got a point. The team is full of snacks ;).

-Rachel's interaction with Sebastian is beyond wholesome. She has healed so much over the years and I'm happy for her, even thought I know it will only last for a little while...

-"He will bring the end of days." Zadira, we been known this. Just let them have some happiness for a hot second. Thanks.

The vision...

I-

I know Zadira is doing what is right to maintain harmony, but we cannot ignore that she literally threw Kori's potential future in her face. There's low, but Zadira got lower than low. She's halfway to seeing Trigon at how low she just acted.

The continuation of Dick's vision merging with Kori's was everything. I expected this show to ruin me. But hot damn, I'm a mess. A big hot pile of melted mess over here!!!!

The birthday party, the looks, the touches, the familiarity with one another. The warmth the clarity, EVERYTHING. They even made the fucking scene have light!!!!! Pure. Golden. Light.

And then, poof! it's gone.

Fucking pulled away and then back to reality.

A very harsh reality may I add.

Zadira better pray she never meets me.

The after math...

Listen, I'm not surprised Sebastian gave himself up. He's been with the Titans for a few days and that is long enough for Dick's self-sacrificing attitude to rub off on some people. It's was also enough time for Sebastian to have real exposure to what a family is. At this point we aren't too aware of Sebastian's background, but in 4x06 his entire identity make a whole lot more sense.

4x06

Oh lord above, what in God's name did I just watch?!

I'm literally rewatching this episode to get a better scope of what I watched a week ago and honestly, I'm still flabbergasted at everything and everyone.

Buckle up, friends. Let's deep dive.

Kori and Rachel return without Sebastian

-The ride in the car before they get back to Star labs is probably one of the most important conversations pertaining to Dickkory all season.

-Rachel is asking the real questions:

"Has Dick told you before?"

"No, he hasn't".

Rachel is a true queen for keeping Dick's vision a secrete until the right moment. I can't imagine seeing those two flirt all day long and keep that vital piece of information to myself.

-The look on Dick's face when he asks Kori and Rachel where Sebastian was...I think he was genuinely afraid for the first time this entire season.

Connor's Persona Change

-Connor's attitude, I have never cringed so much in my life. Josh is playing the hell out of Connor this season and his switch from "Superboy" to "Lexiboy" has given me whiplash (I will be sending Titans' my medical bills).

-Connor's behavior towards Dick is something in itself. Dick's reaction to Conor's attitude is so restraint. There is no person on this earth that has the patience Dick Grayson has with Connor Kent. My inner hispanic woman would have slapped that boy the first chance he gave me an attitude. But alas, Dick is probably a better person than I.

-Also, does anyone else find the irony that Connor shaved his head with the powers Superman gave him? Lex has had a grudge against Superman for many reasons, but his loss of hair was always number 1 on that list. And seeing Connor using his heat vision to shave his head was a full circle moment.

-Does Connor give you guys big Jason vibes? His language and mannerisms remind me of pre Red Hood Jason. From the woe is me attitude to the cockiness, all reminiscent of Jason Todd. I get that it's "supposed" to be his Luther side coming out, but they killed Lex off too soon for us to really get a feel for his character. So it's difficult to determine if Lex was this way for sure.

-Dick preferring to be called Dick was funny.

The Plan

-Listen, Jinx's plan was okay. I never had full faith that they could pull it off, but it was a great starting point. Sometimes the Titans put all of their marbles into one jar before looking at alternative methods. This is why they typically don't do well the first time and end up losing (foreshadowing).

-Connor's plan was not terrible either, but also not a solution. Mostly a band-aid on a bullet wound.

-I think if they had more time, they would have come up with something better to suit their situation and work better together.

Moving on...

-Rachel ate Jinx's hair.

I-

Sometimes I cannot tell if Jinx is pulling our leg or not; she has such a sarcastic attitude that most of the time I'm like, okay, she's joking again. But then no, it's not a joke.

-I'm glad Jinx pointed out that Rachel could still access her powers if she wanted to. I think it's helpful there is someone else there who has an understanding of magic and can help her rekindle her loss of powers.

Mother Mayhem and Sebastian

-We've seen plenty of toxic relationships all throughout Titans and honestly, Mother Mayhem may take the cake (Rachel's mother, Angela or "Arella" still holds the crown after her betrayal in season 1/Season 2).

-Showing Sebastian all of his past relationships with figures that were meant to either guide him or love him was horrible. This kid has been traumatized since day one and his mother is making him relive all of it. This man is so fragile, and I'll admit, bringing up the past is such a smart move to get him to drink the blood. But damn, dark as hell.

Gar's Visions

-This was such a HUGE moment in the episode. I'm glad Kori has always been so aware of everyone on the team and how they're doing. Right away she knew Gar was not fine and needed her, but he brushes her off and leaves anyway.

-I think it's interesting how Gar was a few seconds ahead of his interaction with Connor. I wonder if that is his visions showing him the future, or is it the universe already altering from Mother Mayhem's disturbances?

-Let's discuss Gar's interaction with the skin-walker:

"When the towers break, take yourself to the Red."

"It depends on you, Garfield Logan."

This reminds me of how animals always sense when bad things happen before they do. And I'm really excited to see how Gar is going to be the key to fixing this hot mess the Titans are now involved in. But I wonder where the "Red" will take him? Is it an alternate dimension? Is it the past where he can stop all of this? what is it?!

Back at the lab...

I've loved Connor Kent since season 2, but this boy is really grinding my gears!

"Take the win."

"This isn't my dark side."

-Connor, for the love that is all holy, shut up. Like why is it necessary to be a raging prick? Dick understand that he's changing, whether that be for the better or not, but Connor needs to understand that he cannot just go from zero to hundred. It is not safe for him!

-What I really love about Dick's growth as a character is how he doesn't give up on Connor and still includes him to still help the team with their plan. Even thought his attitude sucks right now, Dick still invited him to help bring Sebastian back.

-Connor has now entered dangerous irrational territory. Going after Mother Mayhem all on his own knowing well enough magic and Super powers will not help him really put the Titans in a bad position.

Side note: I find it hilarious that Joseph Morgan always has blood somehow incorporated into his roles. Klaus would be proud of him.

The date scene...

-Oh, my heart absolutely broke for Sebastian here. This girl deadass pointed out that he's lonely as hell. Girl, you're lucky he didn't smite you sooner. But the gift she gave him was so thoughtful (and honestly, very nostalgic for me), but he really assumed their relationship would fail due to his own insecurities and always being let down by others. I wish he had more time with Rachel and the Titans to know they would have his back.

Kori's Powers...

-Her powers are now unstable and now just another thing on the list of things Dick has no idea about. Who knows how bad this will go in future episodes...

Jinx and Dick...

-Listen, I know, I know this is problematic (and I ain't trying to start any fights here, so please don't) but like I stated earlier, I do like this pairs dynamic platonically. Clearly Jinx has some unresolved issues regarding Dick. That was made abundantly clear when Dick told her she earned her money and how she reacted to his kindness. Dick really is such a sucker for certain people and I can see why he had shared moments with Jinx in the past. But their relationship seems to give off sibling vibes that people need to chill just a bit on the hate towards the actress. Hell, I would personally ship myself with that gorgeous man, who wouldn't?

Anyways...Moving on.

Connor, Connor, Connor. What are we going to do with you?

-This man straight up thought he could take on Mother Mayhem all on his own? After the first two encounters has he learned nothing? Even the Lex part of him has to know the probability of this not working in his favor.

-His actions have caused so many issues in such a small amount of time, can your imagine another 6 episodes of him acting this way??? Oh the damage that will be done.

-Mother Mayhem dissing Lex "He was SO EASY TO KILL" the volume in her voice lolz.

-When Jinx puts the mark on Rachel's forehead, it glows the same red Gar saw in his visions. I wonder if that mens he'll end up somewhere with Rachel or in Azarath?

Dick and Kori

"To hell to prophecies, destinies, and visions" If I had a dollar for the amount of times this man has put his foot in his mouth this entire series...I'd have enough money to save Stargirl. Richard John Grayson, do you have eyes? or are you blind to the obvious?! (Which we all know he is). But really, these last few years and have you learned nothing?! You're literally in love with an alien a fucking alien princess from another planet and you cannot wrap your head around visions?!

The look on Dick's face when Kori brings up their shared vision?! I will always say this: Brenton is so good at showing so many emotions with his eyes. You can see the guilt eating at him and the emotional overload he's feeling due to the vision.

And the soft way Kori recants the vision created this bubble around them that felt untouchable:

"You and me and a little girl with a red balloon."

Kori is such a strong person and the tone she uses with Dick when describing the vision has haunted me for days. She speaks so softly. It's like she was afraid to speak louder in fear she would scare Dick away. That she was afraid Dick would be dismissive and act like it wasn't real.

But when she asked him why he never said anything, his response: "I don't know." confirmed all Kori needed to know. It burst their small bubble to the reality that Dick hadn't wanted to disclosed this information to her.

I know there is some upset to Dick's reaction. But we need to be honest here. How would you feel if the person you saw as a partner for the last few years, someone you share a close bond with who has your back as much as they have your's is the future mother to your child? Dick has played the hypothetical game before where he has a life and a family but then it ends up a shitty mess (granted that was Trigon's doing, but it's a valid point). Dick has never had a stable relationship in his life and now all of a sudden, the one person who has been his literal partner in crime is someone he will be tied to forever because of that little girl with the red balloon.

That's a lot to take in. And another point to make, he literally had to die to see that vision. That in itself should be enough evidence that he still needs time to process his vision.

But I also need to say that Dick probably would have not brought it up to Kori, that I am certain of it. And I know deep down Kori knows that as well, and I think that is why she is so upset about the entire situation too.

"To hell with visions."

Although it was a small sentence, Kori knew it would hurt Dick the most. I think this is the first time we really see them acknowledge the change in their dynamic and unfortunately, its at a bad time and not on a positive foot.

The End

I think we were all rooting for the Titans at the end. They get there just in time to stop Sebastian from drinking the blood and finishing the ritual.

-We see Gar bust in as an ape causing chaos. We have Starfire kicking ass. Dick waltz in like he owns the place. There was so much unity happening that for a moment there was hope.

-Gar was able to break the jewel and get Raven's powers back and now she's White Raven!!!! I knew it would happen from previous media, but seeing it was so cool. She was absolutely glowing and I hope we can see her costume better later on in the season cuz from just the brief glimpse, I'm sold.

-Jinx dying was not on my bingo card. But there was something about her death that leaves me unsettled. As she falls to the ground you hear her say "Not again." So does that mean she has previously died and came back? Also, I feel like Jinx would have had a better control over Mother Mayhem, we've seen it before when she controlled the Zombies. I think Jinx is going to betray the Titans in the end and she's using Dick.

-Connor is completely out for the count, homeboy is just sitting there tied up.

-Kori and Rachel teaming up to go after Mother Mayhem was epic. But I am concerned for Kori and her powers. You can see her powers were overwhelming not only her, but you can also see it on Dick's face as well. He felt the energy pouring from her and it makes me concerned that she will end up dead in the end trying to save everyone in the final battle.

-I really feel for Tim at the end. Connor brought up earlier that Tim is completely useless. And I love Tim, but he still has a lot of learning to do and I feel sad that he failed on his part to get Sebastian to back down and leave the cult behind. I know that there will be aftermath to this situation.

Lastly,

Sebastian takes his place and it was epic. The moment he becomes Brother Blood and uses his powers to erase the Titans, such a power move. Then he descends into the bubbling spring of blood completely submerging himself? That's some next level shit. I don't know where we're going to end up in a few weeks when the show comes back, a lot of us are hypothesizing that they'll be in an alternate reality of some sort, especially based off the episode titles. But I hope we get a release date soon for pt 2.

Until then, let me know what you think!
