The real reason sense8 slapped so hard and inevitably got cancelled is that it had an anime concept, an epically talented international cast and prominent queer characters whose lives didn’t get sugar coated by the writers
I’m sorry I ruined your life and pillaged your village, ok?? That’s just how I flirt
Some of you are too afraid to admit this but we all know Star Wars works best when it goes full soap opera
Head empty just thinking about the icon that is Dean Craig “I’ll sit on it” Pelton
I’m never going to be over how Midnight Mass literally portrayed the death of an entire community that was already slowly dying, and the moment we finally felt relief and knew it was all over, was when the disabled girl couldn’t feel her legs anymore
So many in thoughts in my head but just that Ed had to kill Lucius because he represented who he was becoming, Lucius encourages his soft side, supports him through Stede leaving, is himself a creative and the most open about his sexuality on the ship, so Ed throwing him off board to commit to his Blackbeard persona is really just him shoving down all of what he could have been and had with stede and the fucking tragedy and OHMYGODITHOUGHTTHISWOULDJUSTBEAFUNNYSHOWABOUTPIRATESHELP
I love that Adam ruins everything has just slowly evolved into Adam explains how capitalism is a human meat grinder into which we are all slowly falling

I think the thing that’s really striking about the got books as opposed to the show is the way Martin never shies away from how physically damaged everyone is left. In the show Tyrion gets a badass scar but in the books he looses half his nose, Briennes teeth are broken and a chunk of her face is literally bitten out. Theon looks like an old man, his body is completely wrecked -
But they’re still not beyond hope. Their stories don’t finish with the horrible things that happen to them, their scars and deformities, they go on, and it’s not pretty and tragic and romantic like a story
Every single book in the series makes a point about how violence and war is romanticised in literature and history and Martin makes his character a living testament to the reality of war, the ugliness, the trauma, and that depth is just another thing that got glossed over in the show where people stay pretty and everything that made the books special is watered down.
Let your characters be ugly. Let them get hurt. Let them be scarred, and watch them get up anyway.

You guys I think I cracked it- I don’t think vecna is going to try and kill will, I think he’ll try to BECOME him.
From what we saw in the flashbacks Henry is described as sensitive, a word also used to describe will (obvious queer coding can’t lie) and they’re both in a sense outsiders even in their own families. Will is also a wizard in dnd, will the wise, whilst vecna is an evil wizard, implying he’s a dark version of will-
If will was taken to the upside down for a reason, which volume 2 is going to establish he was, and he’s part of vecnas plan, then it’s possible 001 wants him as a host body since he’s stuck in the upside down and can’t reach Hawkins physically, only through getting into the minds of his victims.
Maybe Vecna knows will also has the potential to lock into some kind of internal mental power, like he did when he was young, and this whole thing, the stuff with the mind flayer, all of it, has just been to prepare Will as a host body and possess him so he can return to the real world?
Imagine the tragedy of wills friends (MIKE especially!!) looking on as he’s taken over by Vecna and the chaos begins
EDIT: I stand by this theory for season 5 fyi
