Blacks Gaunt Face Broke Into The First True Smile Harry Had Seen Upon It. The Difference It Made Was

“Black’s gaunt face broke into the first true smile Harry had seen upon it. The difference it made was startling, as though a person ten years younger were shining through the starved mask; for a moment, he was recognizable as the man who had laughed at Harry’s parents’ wedding.”

This is another one of my favorite parts of Prisoner of Azkaban, especially the description of Sirius’ smile. Every time I cry my eyes out!😭

Hot take

Hell they deserved to be better villons or antagonistis.

Same with felix.

I mean. Look at zuko.

Great antagonistis and best redemption ark ever.

Is is to high a standerd to want great written villain and antagonistis ?

AU where Padme is a Jedi and Ahsoka is her padawan.

So after watching the su movie for the 4th time and thinking about it practically non-stop since it aired... I finally have some thoughts to share.

Some thoughts about Spinel.

And Pink Diamond.

I kept wondering throughout the movie why no one else but Pearl (and the Diamonds) recognized spinel. They didn't even recognize her type of gem. When we met Aquamarine and Topaz both Pearl and Garnet knew of those types of gems. I'm starting to think our Spinel was the ONLY Spinel.

Now I could always be wrong, and I probably am, but I've got a few different ways to back myself up here.

It's been stated many times throughout the series that each gem is made with a purpose. An Agate terrifies, A Lapis teraforms... You know the song. But, what purpose would the Diamond Authority have for a play thing? Gems don't have kids, so they wouldn't need toys, they wouldn't need Best friends. The only person who would need a friend would be... Pink. The Diamond without a colony, without a job. Pink had a purpose she wasn't ready for so for the first however many thousands of years she was alive she did nothing. Nothing but lounge around the palace waiting for someone to pay attention to her.

Spinel says Pink was so lonely on homeworld, which made sense at first. Then I remembered Pink Pearl and how much fun it seemed like the two had together. Pink couldn't have been that lonely, right?

Spinel also knows Pearl, that much is obvious. But Spinel never mentions anything about Pink's Original pearl. She simple refers to our Pearl as " Pink Diamond's Pearl" not "Pink's second Pearl" or "Pink's other Pearl" I mean, this might not mean anything but I'm digging deep so bear with me.

So, because of the reasons stated above, I'm pretty sure Spinel was created after Pink got her original Pearl taken away.

I can picture it : Pink does something inappropriate (again) except this time her Pearl gets taken away as a result. Pink ends up with a new Pearl, a perfect factory set Pearl, our Pearl. And now she's bored. She lost her best friend and gained a servant that bored her. The other Diamonds see how unhappy this makes Pink and decide to make the first and only Spinel Gem, with the purpose of being a friend. There's no other Spinels out there. She was a special toy for a special child, that got left behind in the dust.

Our poor little Betty Spaghetti. She was only doing her job 💔

Louder for people in the back

LOTOR DESERVED FUCKEN BETTER OKAY !!!

About Lotor and the colony Alteans

I rewatched all the past Lotor seasons…

And I’m suffering even more now..

Seeing the urgency and the emphasis by Lotor on how the quintessence is a life giving force…who might you ask in Lotor’s life, would he need healing/life giving energy for? The 2nd colony Alteans. I mean yes he also desired access to unlimited quintessence to sate the galra’s conquer lust…but that use of energy isn’t for “life giving”.

I now have no doubt that he planned to restore the colony Alteans, especially based on his dialogue with Allura after they got out of the quintessence field. This along with many other comments he said, that I picked up on while rewatching..

Remember when he was testing the Alteans to be chosen for the second colony? It was assumed this was purely because of their magical essence, but….rewatching it and seeing all the emphasis about choosing Alteans that could/would SURVIVE the “journey”? Obviously they didn’t know what they were in for, but they were told that it would be dangerous and that it was a sacrifice to help them avoid being discovered, and despite the deception, no one was taken unwillingly.

“Some lives were lost, but it was to save millions.”

I’m going to reiterate Lotor’s telling of the planet he ruled over, and how “just enough energy would be taken at a time, to allow it to replenish.” I believe the intent was the same, and I believe this was foreshadowing that the Alteans were never meant to die. I don’t think nearly as many died as Romelle thought. Some likely couldn’t handle it, and there were likely others like Bandor, who made an escape attempt and became a liability. Also speaking of Bandor, Lotor looks visibly upset at his fate, before hardening his expression to give the order to remove the evidence. That is not the face of someone who lost one of his batteries, that is the face of someone lamenting the loss of even just one life. A life that he likely would’ve been able to restore.

Don’t get me wrong. I absolutely believe that Romelle had every right to feel the way she did about Lotor given what happened to her brother….but even she admitted that she still didn’t know everything…which foreshadowed Lotor’s line of “you know nothing of what you speak…”. I don’t believe she was being shady, but there were things we were supposed to learn, and the show FAILED to deliver.

And I’ve said it before and I will say it again: Lotor NEVER lied to Voltron about his plan. Unlimited quintessence, establishing peace in the universe, uniting the Galrans under his rule to end the wars…He told them this as soon as they met in person. He also never betrayed them. Even after being attacked and chased, he still tried to plead with Allura to stop them from fighting.

Of course he didn’t tell them about the colony yet. He was still trying to fix everything there and keep them protected until they could be saved.

It just kills me that he just made discoveries to save the Alteans, and that Romelle’s timing, ultimately led to him being killed, when he finally had everything he needed to save them.

I mean, shit. Even in his first season, where he came off as a villain, he still was on a strict policy of NO KILLING unless absolutely necessary. He never would have killed Narti if she hadn’t (albeit unwillingly) put their lives at risk. I always believed his true intentions, which were confirmed by season 8, but WTF I am so salty that he never came back and never truly got a redemption arc…

Lotor deserved better.

Sooooo i really like unhealthy relationships in story....more specifically relationships that explore unhealthy ways of life but have soft sweet under tones. That includes family relationships

Im a slut for evil patient and heroic child and the hero x villain trope.
