Can we just take a second to appreciate the growth of Ava’s protective instinct towards Beatrice over these past 2 seasons because it’s suPERb. In season 1 we see the first time Ava reacted, completely subconsciously, to Beatrice in danger

at this point she’s not aware of her emotional connection to the halo’s power, and has way less control of what happens - so even though she does shatter the bullet and save Bea’s life, she also blows everything in the room backwards including herself. Even Beatrice gets pushed back (although super softly) as you can see her recover briefly to run over to Ava after

THEN we start to get spicier protection in season 2 when Ava does react with more understanding of the halo’s power and her feelings towards Beatrice, and not only does she accomplish a much harder goal (poofing away a demon???) 

but this time Ava able to handle the blast AND it doesn’t get anywhere close to Beatrice. She does clearly have a blowing back effect on people next to her (cue Miguel/Michael folding like a lawn chair part 1) but Ava is learning to control the power of the halo and how to use it to protect specific people... or in her case specifically Beatrice

and then of COURSE because third times the charm, the last one is my favorite. This time it’s intentional, Beatrice knows Ava can control the power and she tells Ava to let go, and Ava nods AND pulls Beatrice in telling her to hold on 

WHICH if we look at past experience showing Ava having a forceful blast that surrounds her after using her power, her instinct should initially be to tell Beatrice (and Michael I guess) to run so that they don’t get hurt, but she knows at this point that whatever power she releases won’t hurt Beatrice because Ava would never let it. I mean look at Michael ! ! ! 

Dude folds like a lawn chair (PART 2) as if he were one of the possessed enemies Ava is releasing a blast towards. Even though Ava thinks logically she’ll be able to protect both of them, her internal instincts are only thinking of protecting Beatrice in the moment and the halo’s blast reflects that.

Bonus is watching them walk away without a second glance at anyone because to them, as long as they’re both safe, it’s mission accomplished:

Thanks I’ll be here till 2049 talking about this show and couple

I JUST WANT TO WRITE WHIPPED MEN OKAY? What do you mean I have to write a part 2 for two different fics??? I'm honestly surprised I managed to finish this. Also, ALHAITHAM NATION REJOICE, YOUR BOY IS HERE AND I CAN FINALLY MAKE A BANNER. I wasn't going to write him (I'm a kaveh stan) but now that he's here...

That one time I was having a panic attack because my mom and her boyfriend were fighting and I just started yelling "I JUST WANT YOU GUYS TO GET ALONG AND SETTLE DOWN AND MAYBE GET MARRIED AND MAYBE *MOMS BOYFRIENDS NAME* COULD ADOPT ME AND WE COULD BE A HAPPY FAMILY! I JUST WANT YOU TO LOVE EACH OTHER!!!" While crying hysterically and hyperventilating while the scene from mean girls faintly played in the very back of my mind. Yk, this one:

THEN my mom topped the fucking cake (or whatever it is) and said "That's never happening again." Which is basically:

And if I hadn't been panicking so hard I thought I would die I would have laughed my ass off and I do every goddammed time I think about it.

the untamed liveblog | episode 26

I’m having a situation over how Jin Guangyao’s modes constantly flip between “disarming smile” and “performance anxiety” (in both meanings of that phrase! – how much of it is an act, and how this ratio changes over time and depending on who the act is for)

I’m also having a situation over how much he seems to genuinely like/respect/want the approval of Lan Xichen, even as he continually lies to him. god, what a mess.

me to my bff: I was thinking of this avengers au where Bucky's found way earlier, and he & Tony are an old married couple. so when Steve says you're not the one to make a sacrifice play, Bucky suddenly appears and yells DO NOT TAKE THAT AS A CHALLENGE, but obviously Tony still does.

me: I need that gif from gravity falls

my bff: :D

my bff, a couple of hours later:

I love her.

“You better get your girl.” Charlie nodded towards the bar but Jake was already staring at her, watching as she threw back another shot before accepting the drink that was bought for her.

He frowned slightly. “Not my girl.” But he was up and moving before the words were even out of his mouth.

What fairytale archetype are you?

the wicked witch

“All witches are selfish, the Queen had said. But Tiffany’s Third Thoughts said: Then turn selfishness into a weapon! Make all things yours! Make other lives and dreams and hopes yours! Protect them! Save them! Bring them into the sheepfold! Walk the gale for them! Keep away the wolf! My dreams! My brother! My family! My land! My world! How dare you try to take these things, because they are mine” – Terry Pratchett. The witch needn't be wicked, though she can be. Cannibalism is never out of the question. She lives in a gingerbread house, or one standing on a chicken foot. She meddles only if asked, and the unwise often ask her. The very wise do as well. Those in-between prefer to give her distance, something she appreciates. She appreciates her solitude almost as much as she appreciates her cat.

I like this one with Quentin honestly and think it fits Quentin pretty well on so many levels! I will even try to play with this during the Halloween event-As I made her a witch for the event (it’s a Hocus Pocus reference which I originally meant to show Quentin is a girl, but now that I think about it-It’s almost fitting for her because she’s almost a classical witch in the modern world. Explanation of what I mean below.) 

For one, Quentin’s general character fits the archetypal witch almost too perfectly-Quentin is a solitary woman with lots of power at her disposal who tends to keep to herself unless the plot demands so. Quentin herself doesn’t drive the plot-She’s alongside Yuu and Grim for the ride since she cares for her dormmates. All that happens to her isn’t really her fault despite what she thinks-but she chooses to get involved because Yuu and Grim need help. Quentin honestly wouldn’t really be too plot significant if it wasn’t for the fact Yuu and Grim are in Ramshackle dorm as she mainly acts as a mother figure to Yuu and Grim and anyone else in Ramshackle than anything else in the story. While she is pretty powerful-she honestly doesn’t use it unless the plot calls for it because she just. Doesn’t feel it necessary most of the time.  

Quentin also considered not like everyone else due to her past since she’s seen a lot and being in that dorm(tm) known for trouble, and she is willing to do things others wouldn’t dare to try. Quentin admits she’s not above doing anything if it means survival, either, and in game has used dirty methods to get what she wants. Like in Chapter 5 when she got violent because she felt the people around her was being disrespected by Vil’s behavior, and flat out threatened the model with dirty tricks to get Vil to realize he’s in the wrong. Which, is implied to have actually worked (in a backwards way).

Quentin also is seen riding a broom during PE (shhh Everyone does it but BE NICE for comparison reasons) and has some cats on campus that she’s associated with. For one, Quentin has Grim that acts as like the witch’s familar trope to her being a witch-because the two live together in the same dorm and Quentin treats Grim a lot like a cat letting him go wherever he wishes and climb on her shoulders when Grim wants to be and while grim is magical, most of the time Grim kinda just. Lets Quentin do the hard work while he sits there and sasses people; While the other cat, Carwyn (which while is actually Quentin’s cat) fits more of just the aesthetic of being a witch. And Quentin lives in a remote place on campus that’s lowkey creepy and people don’t like.

I haven’t really thought of Quentin as the classical witch archetype, but now that it’s been put in front of me I feel like I’ve smacking people with the most obvious signs Quentin is a girl. It’s like I didn’t even try to hide it while Quentin is doing her best to do so.
