As A Eddie Girly I Don't Know If I Should Be Sad Eddie Wasn't In This Episode Or Be Happy He Is Not In

In this house we love and support Maddie Han.

I am reading this fascinating paper 'Education and Aristocratic Childhood in Late Imperial Russia' by Zbyněk Vydra, and came across this paragraph that I think sums up what makes the former Russian Empire so interesting:

It is also impossible to deal with the nobility as a whole. The simple reason being that the hereditary nobility in Russia was very heterogeneous and numerous. At the end of the 19th century, there were about 1.2 million people, i.e. around 200,000 families. Within one estate (soslovie) it stretched from close proximity to the imperial throne, the world of the St. Petersburg and Moscow palaces, through the bureaucratic nobility in sleepy provincial towns, to impoverished nobles eking out a living at the level of wealthier peasants in the remote countryside. We are mainly interested in the part of the nobility situated at the highest level ‒ the aristocracy.

It is impossible to reference the nobility in this setting as a shorthand for one form of life. When using it as inspiration in a fantasy setting, like Bardugo does, there is an opportunity for a rich variety of people who set themselves apart from the peasantry. It brings in questions of origin and history, rather than wealth and power, and it can hint at changing fortunes and societal landslides.

TV Shows that i love but have terrible finales:

How I Met Your Mother

Scorpion

Supernatural

Why stan Twitter is worried rigth now about a white, rich, straight man celebrity more than they are worried about the people who will actually suffer the next 4 years?

So was Billy super close with Alice because she was the one who saw both Willian Kaplan die and Billy Maximoff re-borning?

Poor Ralph he's super traumatized by Agatha but i'm so happy we got at least some answers on him

This last episode made me realize i am (probably) the only person who is ok with wanda being dead.

To me it was never a question about who/what Billy was after in the road it was always Tommy.

In the Journey to get her kids back Wanda became something they were scared of. She made it up by destroying the Darkhold so no other witch would be corrupted by it. That's her story! a mother who at the end of the day gave her plans up for her children happines (in this case by letting they live their lifes with their real mother).

I don't think Marvel will bring her back, at least not Elizabeth's version of the characters anyway.

People need to make peace with the fact that's more than likely she will NOT be back.

Sometimes I think I hate the SPN finale and then I remember that Jensen initially fucking hated it so much that they got Eric Kripke to gaslight him into thinking it was good. Only for him to immediately go off and create/produce/act in a spinoff series after the show ended all so he could fix the shitty writing. No one hates the SPN finale like Jensen Ackles hates the SPN finale.

Wanda's powers create illusions. The hex wasn't real the people saw the Sitcom Land because Wanda was mind contolling them.

Billy's powers create reality. The coven wasn't mind controlled by him (exepect that scene after Alice's death). The road wasn't real until Billy made it real. He closed his door but because how his powers work any coven who sings the Ballad will be met with the door.

Billy believes (believed) the road was real, he also believes is the Ballad is the key for the road so now it is.

Can I also point out how incredibly stressful it must be to work in an industry where a man can become obsessed with you and dedicate his time, energy, and resources to constantly bribing the media to publish negative stories about you? (whether through a third party like a PR team or directly) And often, it’s simply because you stood up for yourself or just bc you exist.

On top of that, imagine having to constantly read and hear hateful comments from people 24/7. And keep in mind, these are rich white women dealing with rich, privileged white men… but at the end of the day, they are still women navigating a misogynistic system and society that’s quick to believe anything without doing proper investigation or even waiting to hear what a judge or court has to say.

Idk, just some thoughts.
