for whose sake
thinking about how sam’s first instinct with lola was to help her get her dog out of the lake, with no other justification than “she’s a fire genasi, water hurts her, and this is something i can do to help.”
thinking about persephone saying that sam learned how to be mean and manipulative from her mother and penelope. sam growing up under pressure and surrounded by their toxicity, learning to give as good as she gets and then even better.
sam lashing out as a survival technique, because caring hurts and people can’t hurt you if you hurt them first (even when they can). sam imitating the biggest female presences in her life, because that’s how you find yourself when you’re not on solid foundation (they’re still teenagers, god).
i love her and the way persephone embodies her. and i’m so here for the seven being there for each other through all of their traumas and struggles.
the reactions to fabian's bad decision are priceless
emily and siobhan absolutely choking on laughter at murph’s misfortune is just... *chef’s kiss*
obsessed with persephone’s outfit this episode!! the floral top complements her so well, plus the hair is just *chef’s kiss*
incredible decision by aabriya to include social/reputation mechanics to the game. it’s regency! it’s fey! of course your social standing impacts how you interact with the world.
*chef’s kiss* perfect.
i’ll never get over the fact that the bad kids is just like… The Literal Elven Oracle, The Prophet Of A Forgotten God, Two Famous Rockstars, and then like… Fabian and Riz.
