I’m having a bad day and decided to rewatch the two-part premiere of The Librarians and I have thoughts. Don’t mind me 🙂

Right so, Judson was immortal, tethered to the library. For him to die he must have given up his immortality like Charlene did towards the end of season three. Why would he do that?

Flynn survived 10 years, longer than any other librarian – how? Maybe halfway in, so “five years ago” Flynn did die but Judson saved him by swapping the life force, the same as #spoilers I read that Jenkins got tricked into doing in season four. (I know I spoiled myself, I suck).

Ok now Cassandra – if surgery could save her a) why did she never have it before season 3? and b) why was she so desperate? She said to Duloque that they should share magic, to save those that science couldn’t, so I always assumed from that her tumour was inoperable.

Maybe it was. I mean it was a lot smaller at the beginning and right before the surgery the doctor did say he was amazed she was still walking around. The last of Excalibur’s raw magic healed Flynn, and he said it would have healed Cassandra. By the time of her surgery she’d been using magic a fair a bit, casting spells etc. Maybe that had an effect and so magic saved her after all.

Now we could say there were a couple of continuity errors between the movies and the TV show but I prefer to explain things in universe if possible.

Excalibur in the first movie is shown in the stone. Judson invites Flynn to try and pull it out, though the sword does fly around on it’s own. Maybe it wasn’t ‘the stone’ because it didn’t need to be, the important relic was the sword. It’s like they put the artifacts on display cushions, well Excalibur got a display stone. You know like how museums have displays.

Also Charlene was recently divorced (Gaston) mentioned in 1st and 3rd movies but in the TV show it’s implied that she and Judson were an item, and that’s why Jenkins never had a chance with her (and also why he didn’t really like Judson). The original librarian and guardian – makes sense and it’s a nice echo with my OTP 🙂 so I really don’t know. I do like the name Gaston plus divorce because that kinda makes Charlene Belle (and she works in the library heh).

It has been implied that Judson was a bit of a James Bond type librarian with a girl in every port (a bit like Flynn pre-Eve tbh) and so maybe he and Charlene had an open relationship? They loved one another deeply, were committed to each other but had dalliances with other people, just not other immortals because that would get awkward. Alas poor Jenkins.

Oh and I really want to know when Jenkins told Eve he was immortal and therefore she couldn’t kick his ass. I bet he was laughing so hard on the inside when Eve tried to intimidate him with “make yourself useful or make yourself gone”. So funny.

Ok when Nicole Noone walked on screen and Flynn was mesmerised I was scared for a minute that Librarian/Guardian was a ‘thing’ and somehow I felt that would undermine how perfect Eve and Flynn are together, it would somehow make it like any guardian would work and not just Eve.

Buuuuut then Nicole opened her mouth and yeah no – she is NOT Eve and I have never been more grateful for someone to be so rude and condescending in my life.

She is no-one just like her name. OTP intact 🙂

I got the Spear of Destiny movie today and I just had a shipper moment even though this is 10 years before they met.

Flynn’s mom: I just want you to find love

Flynn: I will, at the right time, the right person.

Me: Librarian and guardian! When you meet Eve whoo

Sorry not sorry.

My brain is literally all over the place today.

I bet it’s because I’m going out. I never can settle if I’m waiting to leave.

Regarding Warcraft I thought there was a super cool thing but it turned out disappointing.

On the launcher there was a “create your party wallpaper” type thing where you could pick your background, select your characters, and have them stand in heroic poses.

Problem is a) it’s limited to three, b) my rogue needs a cool transmog and c) my druid doesn’t shapeshift into kitty form and he’s a kitty so that doesn’t work.

My paladin in golden armor, because I quested alongside Turylon, popping wings and fighting demons and had to go full on iconic paladin – she would look badass if there was a pose selector. I mean no sword? Seriously not cool.

Top 5 favourite ships

Posted on by

@sarashouldbestudying are you a mind reader? Just yesterday I was contemplating making a page for my blog so I could gush over my ships. I didn’t in the end because I figured that would turn into gushing over shows generally and that it would get long and boring with me just going “ahhhh I love it!” a lot 🙂 *rolls eyes at self*

Anyway this is the excuse I’ve been looking for *cracks knuckles* and just like you, I’m going to stick to one per show or I’d go over five. Although … maybe not? There are different levels of ships or more accurately levels of obsession on my part.

Rumbelle (Rumple and Belle, Once Upon a Time)

^^ the moment I started shipping them, especially with how awkward they were afterwards! I mean Rumbelle is just a given on this list right? Over 500k on AO3 says I have a *cough* minor obsession. It’s just there’s so many layers, and variations, and incarnations, and it’s still all just them because true love.

Evlynn (Flynn and Eve, The Librarians)

My latest obsession, oh merlin they are perfect. She’s tough, no nonsense and organized. He’s a little crazy, reckless and absolutely definitely doesn’t need her help. They clash as she wants to plan and he just dives in but they accept each other. It’s like ying and yang, two halves that separately struggle but combined are unstoppable. Librarian and guardian. I’m not doing them justice. I think Charlene said it best in the very first episode with “you’re perfect” because yeah, the chemistry is off the charts.

“I love you more than learning itself.”
“Kissing you is exactly how I’d want to spend eternity”
and lets not forget “there you are” as they true loves kiss twice in one episode.

Come back alive Librarian!

Fitzsimmons (Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons, Agents of Shield)

The perfect embodiment of best friends to lovers, who are still best friends and don’t forget that because they are also in love. It was a slow journey as Fitz loved Jemma first, and Jemma just had him in the ‘best friends box’ and it took a season for her to think actually I have always loved him, he will always be my best friend but he could be more. That transition was believable and then they went through the true love test.

I’m talking constant, painful separations but they always find each other. They dove through a hole in the universe for each other. Fitz literally to another planet, and Jemma into a virtual world. Nothing, not time, not space, can keep them apart. They are stronger together.

Jack and Irina, Alias

I don’t talk about them much because Alias ended what back in 2005? But I rumbelled their relationship in Between Two Fires. Basically KGB agent Irina Derevko went undercover to seduce CIA agent Jack Bristow so she could spy on him longterm. The one thing she didn’t count on – falling in love with him.

It ended badly of course. She faked her own death as an extraction but twenty years later despite everything he still loved her too. It was painful, there was no possible happy ending really because too much had happened. They worked against each other more often than they worked together but that bond of love never went away.

Jefferlynn (Jefferson and Lynn, Black Lightning)

Divorced, still friends, co-parents and very much in love. They separated because it was a bit like there were three people in the relationship. Jefferson, Jefferson’s hero work and Lynn. It wasn’t that Lynn didn’t want to share, it was that she was scared. He came back hurt and she thought it was going too far. He started off going after big targets in Freeland, doing what the police couldn’t, but then he didn’t stop and it took over.

It’s one of those relationships where they are both right and they are both wrong. It’s about fear more than anything and that’s not always logical. Lynn was scared of losing him so she walked away. It’s really well done and nuanced on the show. They could have turned Lynn into a villain but they didn’t. They fleshed it out showing that everything she did came from a place of love.

I can’t wait for next season!

Any chance we can get more of “In Your Arms” ? What are Belle and Jamie doing now? How is their relationship progressing? Did Neal and Emma ever get to have their sleep over?

This is so weird.

Like is telepathy a thing? If I think about something, does it somehow make other people notice it?

You anon have perfect timing, you are right on the money – there WILL be more In Your Arms, this month in fact!

I don’t want to spoil the fic but I think I can safely say that a) all your questions will be answered and b) there will be a happy ending – when do I not? 🙂

Note to self: When excitedly chatting about fics with people in messengers, make sure to copy the notes to your computer or you. will. never. find. them. again.

or

I suppose I could take the view that anything I’ve forgotten wasn’t that good in the first place except it never feels like that. Recreating something always feels secondbest to the original.

I just decided to change my icon because it had been awhile and I’m totally in love with The Librarians and just have to shout that to the world heh BUT

posted something and didn’t realize it was me.

Why do I change icons when I hate it when icons change? I rely on them so much for identifying people. I’m a huge hypocrite.
