something in grief so profound it makes you want to forgive the very people you hate not because you want to but because they are the only ones left who share the lost puzzle piece. something about how i can see theo wanting to forgive his father because his father looks so much like his dead brother in certain light that it can almost hurt less for a while. damian is the enemy that couldn't keep his duty but also he is His best friend and how can you possibly not see yourself morphing this mindset onto your own life because it gives you the illusion of connection. oh fanon version of theo that exists only in my head youre so stricken

the plot chickens (becomes scared of its own premise)

Can you guys watch my fairy tale prince with the lamb motif and my jaded knight who sees himself as nothing more than a starving and desperate wolf while I step out for a moment? And DON'T 🫵 let them kiss.

it was probably very fun for anyone not familiar with the original story to experience the ending of it never having known that it was javier's desperation and determination and his massive balls to stand his ground and fight berkis that brought back his friend and not some Oh I Guess I Can Come Back To You Guys bullshit that like oil fuel penetrated the earth and poisoned the story as a whole with its cheap clownery

There’s a difference between a female character who exists in a story and has a romantic relationship with a male character versus a female character who exists in a story to have a romantic relationship with a male character

This.

i think it's great when someone tries to pull off a tragic self-sacrifice in a story and there's at least one guy who's just like "no this is fucking stupid actually. you're an idiot." about it. because it kind of is. i love a good tragedy but let's be honest with ourselves if a friend tried to indulge a noble sacrifice fantasy would you not be a little annoyed. like come on man.
