Okay I wanna talk about something. I know we all talk about how Wylan seems to help Jesper like seem healthier and not as weighed down but what about how Jesper helped Wylan (also I am using the deleted scene pics which adds some glow but I see extra glow I swear)

Season 1 Jesper through most of the season seemed sleep deprived and like completely over taken with just the crows and the next big hit

Season 2 after meeting Wylan we see his eye bags are gone and he just seems healthier which could be from him using his powers more than he used to. And that like fear and constant throwing himself into his addictions is not gone but lessened and yes he’s glowing cause of the lighting but he also has that glow of like happiness

Now we get into Wylan which I don’t seem many people talking about. I actually have three for him

Beginning of season 2. Tie a mess, shirt a mess, definitely hasn’t eaten in a few days like Kaz mentioned and clearly has been barely surviving. He’s desperate for any sorta of pay that he’s willing to betray his morals because he has no other choice. And also not confident or clean, also sleep deprived and getting mugged for what little he has

Middle of season 2. He seems to be eating at least more regularly, he’s bathing more and looks more well rested. And what he’s wearing, it has a brighter color versus the dark shirts we’ve seen him wearing before and it’s definitely a little big on him (I say clothing thief Wylan), also he’s standing a bit more confidently

End of season 2. Confidence GALORE, look at the shine in his eyes and the proud head tilted up, he has become more confident in himself and his abilities. He’s for sure sleeping more, and just happier (he always seems a little solemn in the past scenes with no shine, the shine started with Jesper) honestly they both were attached at the hip after episode 6, so they’ve been just in each others company getting happier and happier, he also for sure has Jespers shirt on

In conclusion your honor, these boys have made each other healthier with just their presence and support and trust. It is so important that people see what a good healthy uplifting relationship in media in different forms. They’re criminals and killers yes but they also care for each other and deserve to be happy.

Whilst reading Crooked Kingdom again, I stumbled upon a totally underrated Wesper moment:

Chapter 18: Kaz, the scene where Kaz and Wylan are standing in Van Ecks office with the safe

"How would I run an empire?" asked Wylan. "I can't read a ledger or a bill or lading. I can't write a purchase order. My father is wrong about a lot of things but he's right about that. I'd be a laughing stock."

"So pay someone to do that work for you."

"Would you?" asked Wylan, his chin jutting forward. "Trust someone with that knowledge with a secret that could destroy you?"

Yes, thought Kaz without hesitation. There's one person I would trust. One person I know would never use my weakness against me.

So, obviously, Kaz' trust in Inej is so amazing. He loves her, trusts her.

But can we talk about what this scene means for Wesper for a second? Wylan believes that having someone read for him, do these jobs for him would be giving that person the tools to destroy him. He can never imagine running his father's empire because he could never have anyone cose enough to trust them with this kind of knowledge. He will not let anyone read to him, because it would put him in danger.

And then, at the end of the book, this changes. Wylan's walls in this instance were torn down, by Jesper: Jesper wiggled his way into Wylan's heart, earned his trust, and Wylan, who has never done this before, lets down his guard and gives Jesper his absute trust. He loves and trusts Jesper so much that he unlearns the things he always believed about himself, and allows himself to be vulnerable - for jesper.

This is my absolut comfort ship.

DAMN, he looks so good!!!!!

“Oh, man. Ewan. I just— Every time I went into ADR and saw Ewan’s face I’d like, sneak a picture and send it to him and be like, ‘Dude, do you know how rock and roll you look in this shot?’” — Fabien Frankel, Esquire, October 2022

“Ewan Mitchell [who plays Aemond Targaryen] did really well — he came from a show [called] The Last Kingdom, so he’d obviously picked up a weapon. He had building blocks that we could build on.” — Rowley Irlam, The Hollywood Reporter, June 2023

He's adorable, your honour. 💗

oh my sweet babygirl but the ladies are screaming. without the s.

people need to stop comparing the crow’s trauma when the whole point is that they are all fundamentally tragic characters who managed to find solace and comfort in the fact that the rest of them seem to be equally broken

petition for hbo to release this footage ASAP

Rhaenyra: everyone says Targaryens are closer to gods than to men...

me from october 9th 2022: yup, she's right.

People hate on Helaena because she had the love of the people and their fav can’t relate.

That’s the thing. You know who’s opinion matters most? The people’s. You know who was actually loved and favored by the people. Alicent and Helaena.

Ain’t no way around it. My girls were loved by the people they served. Helaena didn’t need daddy to hire people to invent songs for her. She just earned it.

Rhaenyra couldn’t get anyone to like her even before the war. Nobody wanted her to rule when she was named heir. Nobody liked her when she ran away to Dragonstone. Nobody liked her when she took KL and taxed and starved them to death and revolt.

Your faves could never be team green. Because time and time again, Alicent/team green prioritized the welfare of the people. Rhae and co. only think about themselves. And that’s why the people kill their dragons and revolt against them

Ewan Mitchell: *breathes*
