Chapter 10 is up!

This chapter brings us to the morning of the Inquisitor's abandonment. Blackwall has fled to Val Royeaux, and Mel and her companions follow him there, though they don't quite understand why... yet. :(

A crowd of nearly a hundred people had gathered in the town square, jostling each other for a better view and craning their heads up towards the scaffold. The man standing there, flanked by a hangman and two Orlesian guards, was bedraggled and pale. He stood with his hands bound and his bald head bent low.

One look at the crowd set Mel’s heart pounding hard enough to make the Anchor sputter. She abandoned her companions without a word, slipping through the crowd, desperately looking for Blackwall. Her lips formed around his name, and though she meant to call out for him, the word emerged as little more than a whisper. The faces of the gathered Orlesians blurred around her, forming a solid wall of humanity, a mass which in her dizziness and rising panic she could not parse.

Then the main guardsman called for silence from the dais, his voice ringing out despite his mask, and the crowd fell quiet. Mel still had not seen Blackwall. She could only turn with the rest of them and watch the spectacle unfold.

It’s funny how much emotional association can totally change the way the same image looks to you with different context. Remember when the GO3 Trailer just dropped and the whole fandom went crazy in love over this shot?

I mean, look… it’s Crowley’s smiling, at Aziraphale, without his sunglasses, and the background is blurry but it looks so beautiful and sunlit… I mean, the emotional honesty implied by this shot, the catharsis, the vulnerability! This must be a moment of beautiful reconciliation between the Husbands, a properly articulated love confession, maybe they’re even in their South Downs Cottage!
But now, knowing what this scene actually is…

All I can feel whenever I have to look it is just visceral disgust. This wet-eyed hollow Crowley simulacra just pisses me off whenever I have to look at him. And it really doesn’t feel like I’m looking at Crowley at all anymore. I mean, Crowley was super OOC through all of that ‘Finale’, but I can at least kinda still think of him as ‘TV!Crowley but very badly written’ or even 'TV!Crowley in a mental-health rock-bottom that he was simply not allowed by the narrative to ever overcome'. But I just look at this scene and the only thing I can see now is a total stranger. Who is this man???? Get him OUT of my house!!!!!

the whole thing makes me wanna barf I was so happy when that screenshot dropped too good omens anti go3

i do genuinely appreciate the fact that meredith as a visibly much older woman character that has 0 motivations to anything related to "lost" youth or younger women or god forbid some sort of love entanglement with a man and instead her character motivation and arc proves that fascism can also be a women-dominated field! 👍

she’s such a good character lol dragon age da2 meredith stannard
