Don’t get me wrong, I really liked the Lemonhope episodes.  Character arcs and symbolism are my jam (even if I’m still not sure how much I agree with Objectivism as a thing).

But Billy’s Bucket List reminded me of how I felt after I first marathoned the entire show, ending up with watching I Remember You a day after it aired and The Lich later on when it premiered.  A feeling that I thought was gone entirely with Red Throne (not because of shipping, but rather because of its multiple other problems).  A sort of…deeply-felt sense of potential, if that makes any sense.  Billy’s Bucket List wasn’t the best episode in the show’s run (though of course it was pretty good), but it captured that for me again.

Season five, as a giant whole, has had some of the highest highs and the lowest lows of the show, in my opinion.  And there’s been times where I’ve been hyped and times where I haven’t, times where I still loved the show and times where I felt so disconnected from it that the IKF AU was my only link.  But I hadn’t really been looking forward to what happens next for a while.

Maybe it’s just a season finale thing.  The episode did end with a reveal and a huge tease, after all.  But I think it’s just a bit different from that sort of anticipation.

Why do my warm-up doodles keep becoming these things I then have to spend tons of time on finishing. Also, oh no. I SnK’d. It has happened. With obtuse symbolism, no less.

Hm, maybe I’ll put up HQ versions of the IKF AU covers somewhere once all three of them are done, and link to them in their respective posts.

(Tumblr REALLY hates the contrast between IKF’s cloak color and the lines, for some reason, and even uploading to a separate website and then to tumblr from there doesn’t work.  Urgh.)

Honoka, from angeban, Lyra, and DL’s Madoka Magica science babies AU. (…This somehow ended up having a darker tone than I’d originally planned? Whoops.)

Haaaaah Simon accepting ruin in the face of death was great

I love it when characters are complex

I love it when my headcanons (and IKF AU stuff) are confirmed

Now if only the episode could have been in two parts because WOW pacing (or the lack thereof)

(Simon and Death and Simon’s Potential Death were by and far the best part of the ep, and I feel like everything else would have been similarly great if they’d had some more time to explore it.  There’s a LOT of potential stuff that goes unexplored here.  Lots of jumping-off points, I guess, but that’s assuming they actually continue these plot threads.  I can only hope.)

(Also Finn certainly took everything well.  Betty too, actually.  Really, really well.  If only there’d been more time…)

That feel when you have a certain plot development for the IKF AU, only for a throwaway line in the newest AT episode to totally confirm that plot development.

(Even if now nobody’ll think you thought of it.)
