I Watched Charlies Angels And It Was So Good Shut Up >:(

I watched charlie’s angels and it was so good shut up >:(

oh to be sitting on a tree branch blindfolded when a surprisingly strong yet shy maiden pins your hands to the tree and kisses you deeply only for you to later realise it was your cold and seemingly emotionless archenemy...

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR LEGACY AHEAD

hot take but the main reason fitz freaked so bad was because sophie was literally not communicating at all. like his fuck ups were 

1. because of his upbringing (as a vacker, he can't imagine why one wouldn't apply for the match and settle for a bad match when there was another option, and her being hella tired meant she didn't explain jackshit. this wasn't either of their faults; it’s just what happened. and later, he does apologise for lashing out like that)

2. because he was already tired of how she shut him out this entire book because of her other commitments. think about it; his gf was seemingly actively avoiding him while hanging out w his best friend (who he knows has a crush on her) and when he makes the effort to reach out to her she just pretends that communication gap doesn't exist. it doesn't excuse the way he lashed out but we all know homeboy has anger issues but he recognises that and apologises for his mistakes sincerely and does his best to be who she needs him to be and that is why I will go down with this ship

but all in all im glad they decided to put off dating for a while everyone needs to get their act together

while some of these have been addressed, e.g. elves having a very short fertile period or something of the sort and hence not reproducing as often as humans, causing their population to be controlled, the rest of these issues definitely need clarification.

Some thoughts I have about the elves

+ Soo, the elves don’t have birthdays, instead they count their age from their “inception date” which is basically when the elf sperm met the elf egg right? And from that moment, they’re considered to be an elf. Are the elves pro-life? What happens when an elf doesn’t want a baby? Adoption rarely happens so does that mean an elf has to keep a child and raise it no matter if they wanted the kid or not? Seems a bit sus and kind of concerning 

+ Do elves get period cramps? They don’t experience pain from labor so how about periods? Humans seem to have very similar parts for making babies as elves (seeing as sophie’s mom was capable of carrying sophie’s embryo and forming her into a perfectly normal elf) 

+ Why are elves and humans so similar? Elves basically seem to be super-powered humans, so how did humans and elves become different? 

+ If elves behave and have similar needs to humans, what was the big deal about human medicine being used on Sophie? In general, it doesn’t seem to hurt humans, so what makes elves different? 

+ How was the humans betraying the elves such a big problem if the elves are so “vastly superior” How come the elves decided to leave most of the world to humans if they should be able to easily defeat them? Do humans have some sort of supressed abilities that pose a threat to the other sentient species? 

+ WHY HAVEN’T ELVES HELPED WITH CLIMATE CHANGE? This is a huge issue that would affect them too, so why aren’t they paying attention? This seems like something they should address. 

+ Why doesn’t the elven world seem to struggle with overpopulation? Humans struggle with this, and we are not essentially immortal. Elves rarely die, so why are they able to all live in huge mansions? Do elves get sent to space or something? 

+ What hides the Lost Cities from the humans? What measures do they have in place to prevent humans from seeing and entering their cities?

+ Why do elves not make music? What kind of culture do they have? So they read books, see plays, make art? 

+ What are elven customs? How do they celebrate weddings, and inception days, and other things like that? 

+ If matchmaking is in part to produce kids, how are same-sex couples treated?  Do they exist? (if they don’t exist, that REALLY sends a warning sign, considering elves are the “superior race”) 

+ Do gender-fluid, agender elves, and other elves on the gender specturm exist? 

+ Are there trans elves? How are they viewed/treated?

+ Do elves have mental illnesses like depression?

+ Are there disabled elves? 

Feel free to add more questions, this was all I could think of at the moment, but I’m sure there’s more.

Jason and Fitz being some of my favourite characters says a lot about who I am as a person

For those who haven't read legacy...

i’ll be honest. it wasn't my fave at first. but now I love it so so much because it places a lot more importance on the other characters and the main plot rather than the love triangle that we’ve been waaay too focused on. in the end, who she ends up with really isn't the main plot and I think we all need to focus on what’s important and legacy helps us, and Sophie, do exactly that.
