Every Conversation In 1899

I just love how supportive and kind the show made Stede, from the first episode he’s trying to help his crew better themselves, paying them wages (something Stede bonnet did irl by the way). He cares about their emotional well being he is such a golden retriever of a man-

And then- when Ed comes into his life and Stede is instantly on board to teach him the ways of a gentleman and fucks up a whole ship of people who put him down, and the whole exchange where he’s just like let’s forget the whole murder thing, oh you killed ur dad? Bitch probably had it coming xoxo Stede

Even when he goes home and he’s slow to realise how good the life Mary has built for herself is, he goes on to Stan her paintings and her work and he even fangirls over her new boyfriend

I bet he sees Blackbeard going through his villain period next season and he’s just like ✨ yassssssss my love, stab them all, Lucius who? Hahaha ✨

You guys I think I cracked it- I don’t think vecna is going to try and kill will, I think he’ll try to BECOME him.

From what we saw in the flashbacks Henry is described as sensitive, a word also used to describe will (obvious queer coding can’t lie) and they’re both in a sense outsiders even in their own families. Will is also a wizard in dnd, will the wise, whilst vecna is an evil wizard, implying he’s a dark version of will-

If will was taken to the upside down for a reason, which volume 2 is going to establish he was, and he’s part of vecnas plan, then it’s possible 001 wants him as a host body since he’s stuck in the upside down and can’t reach Hawkins physically, only through getting into the minds of his victims.

Maybe Vecna knows will also has the potential to lock into some kind of internal mental power, like he did when he was young, and this whole thing, the stuff with the mind flayer, all of it, has just been to prepare Will as a host body and possess him so he can return to the real world?

Imagine the tragedy of wills friends (MIKE especially!!) looking on as he’s taken over by Vecna and the chaos begins

EDIT: I stand by this theory for season 5 fyi

If you need a reminder we’re in the darkest timeline look no further than the outline of the adaption of into the woods we could have had back in the 90s

This version also would have had all the creatures in the movie played by puppets made by the Jim Henson company.

Kenneth Branagh has the opportunity to do the funniest thing possible

Head empty just thinking about the icon that is Dean Craig “I’ll sit on it” Pelton

I am never not thinking about the fact that Edward Fairfax Rochester had the audacity to dress in drag as a low rent fortune teller, harass his guests, find out if his crush likes him and in the end it actually kind of works

Did not expect to spend my day crying over a gargoyle named Gregory but here we are

Spoiler Free Review of Sunrise on the Reaping from someone who just stayed up all night to read it and is now broken emotionally

Suzanne is not fucking around anymore. This book is about so many things but the thing that stuck out most to me was the rage I think dominates this prequel more than any other book in the series.

When the news came out a book about Haymitch was coming after years of fan requests (and a film to be developed in tandem) I’ll admit, I had my doubts.

But what Collins delivers is more brutal a gut punch than I think even the most hard core fans of this series were anticipating. In the wake of political unrest across the US and world wide, in an era of disinformation, she tells the reader clearly to look and think for themselves, and shows the atrocities that can come when we do not.

This book is about anger and injustice and it does not try to convince its reader otherwise. At times you can feel Collins shaking the reader by the shoulders: ‘See?! See what happens when you blindly accept what they tell you? See what you let them take?’.

Fans familiar with Haymitch will not be surprised by a lot of the major beats of this story but the focus on propaganda still leads to some interesting reveals. This is the goriest of Collins series and in many ways I think will be the hardest to adapt, perhaps her own rebellion against the industry that continues to profit off her work and contort her message

In love with the implication at the end of howls moving castle that at some point turnip head is gonna come back and try and be a homewrecker
