So I know everyone is losing their minds about the lore drops & Amtity & Luz stuff from this EP, but I just wanted to take a moment to talk about Gus cuz this was a big ep for him and no one is talking about it much (that I’ve seen)
So like, here’s my breakdown & thoughts
We got to hear more about how Gus feels about being in a higher grade and his magic (which knowing someone that was moved up grades when they were young, it did seem realistic)
We learned more about Glandus High and what it’s like being a student there
We learned a fair bit about illusionists and how they’re viewed, it’s pretty interesting that they are seen as weak, even though we’ve seen just how strong they can be, esp for tricks & spy work (like turning invisible), along with sending messages long ways (I sorta wonder if Belos may have made them seen as weak so it’d be less likely for people to try to spy on him)
Gus had made a friendenemy outside the main cast! (Since they started joking with each other and are gonna hang out on weekends I think we’re gonna see more of Mattholomule & Gus’s relationship)
Gus is gonna be learning more about old illusionist magic and had befriend a old (+maybe powerful) illusionist, I think he might start learning better spells or ones that aren’t learnt at school
These ruins Gus & Mattholomule seem to be important, since they have things that can make people more powerful and were used in marketing, I think they might come into play as a big part of the story.
As a whole this EP seemed to have Gus’s story as the A plot with Luz’s story as the B plot, which was bold & I enjoyed, though it makes me sad that poeple aren’t talking as much about Gus’s side of things, he’s a very cool character and seems to have things that could tie him to the bigger plot (these ruins, the fact that he has interest in the human world aka might know more about Philip Wittebane, has magic that doesn’t need to overpower someone to deal with them (for real, a illusionist spell done at the right moment, in the right context could easily take down Belos, he thinks he’s got the door when really it’s a man-eating plant or something like that)

Sorry but confessing to the girl you like by saying
"And I have feelings for you. I have every feeling for you. And my... my biggest fear is that if we tried this, if we actually went for it, that... I might lose the most incredible friendship I have."
And
"I feel like... I feel like I don't deserve to be as happy as you make me. You are the scariest, most beautiful person I've ever met."
And then following it up with
"Should we just, like, I don't know, like, stay friends?"
is the most sapphic thing I've ever witnessed.
Why are “are you following me?” “Focus!” and “get it?” Madoka’s catchphrases
