Weeping

Team Red. (Team Robin Hood?)

ostentatia and penny immediately gravitating to riz when clues and investigations pop up is incredibly wholesome!! the “hey cutie” from ostentatia 🥺

give me riz having mutually supportive relationships with this cool girl gang!! chaotic ‘small heights big vibes’ adventures with ostentatia! sneaky research shenanigans with penny! riz riding on katya’s shoulders as she spars with fabian!! ahhhh

god, making the fighter and front-line barbarian the conflict avoidant characters in the group is such a beautiful decision. the katya and zelda dynamic is just *chef’s kiss*

“that’s another one for the therapy list”

oof. same, penny, same

“...and his name will be known to him before it is known to any other”

i’m so??? emotional about this line. truly a passing sentence in a bigger scene that made me felt Seen and Known

i think a lot of its impact is because it wasn’t a Big Thing™️. the scene didn’t grind to a halt to mention pete’s transness, the language used wasn’t anachronistic and fits right into the historical setting.

transness is just another facet of who pete conlan is: he’s someone’s descendant, he’s quick-witted and fast-talking, he’s A Mess sometimes, and he’s trans

trans people existing as fully realised people with hopes and dreams, pasts and futures to come; it just means a lot to me

alfred in wonderland - batman tales: once upon a crime

[ID: the panel above but not edited. There's children sitting on the other side of the table and Alfred is watching. Everyone has a tea cup and there's serveral plates and platters of cakes, cookies, and pies. Clock King says, "Alas, we are here!" The Mad Hatter replies, "Alice? That does not look like Alice! Shame on you. You got my hopes up. And I have no ladder to receive them when they go that high." END ID]

i cannot believe that ALLY BEARDSLEY, of all people, have not seen the egg tube. sacrilegious

cackling out loud about antiope’s leader tattoo debacle

as someone who’s been the sober one surrounded by people tipping into the ‘making bad decisions’ phase of being drunk, it’s very familiar
