…and that’s enough main tag for me. I’m all about alignment discourse, but not sue how to take anyone’s analysis seriously when they claim the resolution of a 70+ episode slow burn happened out of nowhere. Too bad, because I’d also be really into discussing sexist fandom interpretations.

But the hard c before a, o, and u is the ONE THING English pronunciation usually does right… 

Like, follow the leaders and all that, but I took too much Latin to be happy about it! You silly English native speakers and your pronunciation anarchy.

He’s shaking
as he’s closing the door, even though she is the one standing there without any
clothes on. It’s almost enough to make her feel bad. Almost.

“Are you
alright, dear?” She asks, inching closer, head cocked in concern, and almost
but not quite dropping the mocking tone to her voice.

“Yes,” he
answers, as quickly as his eyes dart up and down her naked form again. “Yes,
quite.” Then he uncorks the bottle of what he’d referred to as Courage and
takes a long swig.

Vex raises
he eyebrows at him and crosses her arms, careful to do it in a way that pushes
up her tits for some totally accidental cleavage.

“Do you
honestly need to be drunk for this?” Now her tone swings back to sardonic and
mocking. “I mean, by all means, do go on, this is only the second least
flattering thing that’s happened to me in the bedroom. But once you accidentally
call me by my brother’s name, I’ll have to throw you out.”

Making him
choke on it was indeed an excellent plan to get Percy to put down the bottle,
though it’s probably a shame about the undoubtedly fancy liquor he’s coughing
up. She graciously steps closer and slaps his back to help with the process
anyhow.

“Great,” he
manages to say between coughs, eyes transfixed on her collarbone for some
reason. “Now that’s something for me to worry
about.”

something I am totally not working on right now shut up

As amazing as Vex’s new playlist and the write-ups are, nothing will ever beat the perfection that was “Say It To Me Now” on her last one. That song just… Damn. And with recent relevations… Damn.

Fingers crossed for it showing up in Percy’s playlist because oooh how the tables have turned.

The kiss just makes so much more sense now, too.

Like, while being really happy, I always had the nagging thought that Taliesin wouldn’t have had Percy do it if he hadn’t heard the sibling conversation (look at him flirting with the camera, that smug bastard).

But now we know that he’d been wanting to do this ALL THE TIME but considered himself to be too broken and bad for her to actually go for it, or for Vex to even remotely feel the same, and all that angsty stuff.

But there she is, tripping over her words to point out to him how good he is for forgiving Ripley, and showing him that she CARVED SOMETHING IN HER WEAPON which can NEVER NOT BE, you know, a reference to when he had shit carved in his weapons, and he’s like, damn. Maybe this is good. Maybe I am worthy. Maybe I won’t ruin everything and especially her.

Like, regardless of whether he heard what went on during the resurrection (after the incident with the cosplayer I’d actually say that he did), this incident just finally, finally showed the character that it’s okay (to want things, gnihihi).

..This also explains Taliesin’s reaction at the end. More than baiting the internet, this is him finally getting to do what he’s been sitting on for ages and ages.

Gaaah. Why are they so perfect.

Oh my god, a few weeks ago someone posted here how in the Q&A after episode 10, Taliesin said Vex was his favorite character because of the “interesting emotional reactions” she had to things, and OP was like “when your character is already falling in love, but you don’t really know yet”.

Well. No. The disaster baby was already pining and Taliesin was full aware, nobody touch me.

Y’know, the other significant thing we got out of this, besides confirmation of the slowest burn ever, is that we now know the canon color of Percy’s pubic hair. I’d have preferred one of the questions about how Whitestone nobility works or what the fuck the Grey Hunt is to go through, but hey. This is useful for fanfictions, too.

Like, my favorite moment, the one I’d refer to as the definite “well, she was definitely in love after this” moment for Vex was during episode 40, when Percy and Grog are staring each other down, and Mr. “I’m the only adult in the room” COMPLETELY defers to her judgement on world-ending decisions. And she gives him this look before taking his side and questioning Grog.

AHAHAHA wow I was 35 episodes too late for that these idiots were already in love WELL THEN.
