we've done it again folks
The fact that Luz gets her mandatory Big Protagonist Power-up from shaking hands with a demon-looking creature and that instead of the classic angelic/luminous power-up she gets the feral brand is so appropriate, it might be my favorite thing in the whole show.
It also feels like such a middle finger to all the satanic panic assholes, the witch makes a deal with the devil to beat the puritan's ass LMAO.

the architect
I've just realized Jimmy has had the most funerals out of anyone of the life series I think. Scott gave him a grave in 3rd life, in Double life there was a ceremony held (even if it was to make fun of him) and he was buried next to Tango + the warden. And now in Limited Life he's been given a grave right next to Judge Judy and executioner.
The only time he was never given a grave was in last life when the southlands were mostly broken up and grian went off chasing after mumbo right afterwards. Rarely does anyone in the life series get a gravestone, get to be buried. I guess it's at least one nice thing about being first out, everything is still on the verge of friendliness and there's time to bury the dead.
People with personality disorders are not evil or subhuman. In most cases they are people who faced so much ongoing trauma and neglect during their upbringing that it damaged their development to the point of permanent disability. These are traumatized people who deserve compassion, support and resources, not further dehumanization. They are victims and survivors, not perpetrators
What I love about Jimmy being out first every single time Is that it's not even that he is so bad at the game, he is just so fucking unlucky at all times. Like, the best example I can give is Last Life, where he spawned with two lives, which is in itself very unlucky, didn't gain any and still he died seconds before Mumbo who spawned with 4 and in the same ep as the others who had more lives than him. Like, he barely ever died in some epic battle where his PvP skills just weren't good enough, it's always some shit like falling from somewhere, traps not meant for him, accidently looking at an enderman. It's always a chance he dies first and the chance somehow is always against Jimmy. Like I know we love calling Jimmy bad at the game but for me it's much more interesting that his skills are genuinely not the main reason he dies first. Bad luck omen as well as death omen he's not fucking beating those allegations boys
sorry just tearing up over the idea of multiple people using the pain-sharing spell. “with this spell declared, let the pain be shared,” except it’s said three, four, five times, the pain passed along and lessened each time. if we all hurt a little then no one of us has to hurt a lot.
What do you mean the iconic witch hat was born from Glinda's spite and cruelty but became a symbol of her willingness to stand by Elphaba even if it ostracized her from her friends and peers? What do you mean the witch's broom is an item enchanted in a moment of panic and innovation as Elphaba refuses to be cowed and grounded? WHAT DO YOU MEAN the spooky black cloak is a representation of Glinda's selflessness as she wraps it lovingly around Elphaba's shoulders, a threadbare cloak that will maybe, hopefully, keep her best friend (lover) warm? WHAT DO YOU MEAN all these symbols of evil actually represent a deep bond of friendship and love? What do you mean????
