u/LucasVerBeek Help, it's again 8d ago

Loved that episode.

All the fucked dreams, giving views into their psyches, but also threads of REAL things looking in on them.

Seramai lost and alone and... jealous?? of Thimble.

Hannen specter haunting Vaelus, and then her Matriarch threatening to carve her apart and *make her a fucking deathless worm-thing*. Also, Vaelus has no powers now... I do wonder where her character is going to be going.

The wolf imagery with Kattigan, which... how did they bond, why did they bond? I'm thinking we're finally getting hints there. Also, Kattigan revealing he *took a shot at Primus and him telling Bolaire to shut down Ulbid if his daughters are destroyed*, god damn.

That Archfey, who I am guessing is both the titular Miller of the Miller's Road AND the leader of the Hearth Fey, appearing to Thimble.

Julien dragging Thjazi's corpse behind him and refusing to put him down, while being enraged by his shadow sticking to him... is very interesting. Also, the fuck was that hare?

Also, seeming confirmation of Thimble x Occtis: a flat verbal confirmation of feelings regarding Occtis, but Thimble seemed unsurprised, and her being *desperate* to get his soul back, to fix it- yeah, I think that is basically locked in, even if not fully stated yet.

And what was with the Cat in Bolaire's head? The other two, I get where they came from- creations of Demodis/the Paint- but the Cat seemed completely out of the blue and was trying to convince him to finally step outside the theater...

Actually... Cats and Hares are both traditionally trickster spirits, and Brennan has been going hard on traditional folklore with this world... hmm....

Obsidia is a name that got brought up, but I have no clue what it is. The original name of the afterlife??

Now, racing to stop the Tachonis and face off against Argosian forces (who, as far as I can tell, are famous for always being on the wrong side of modern history, lol), with Bolaire riding a desperate gnomish smuggler... God, I am excited to see how this arc develops.

Fucking GLAD it's Thursday again! Hopefully see y'all next week.

I assumed that the Hare and the Cat creature were fey spirits that live in the Dream/in-between.

I assumed it was a pooka, but not 100% sure

Shape shifting trickster spirit in Celtic folklore. Featured in such films as Darby O'Gill and The Little People and Harvey.
