I Think It's Like They're Both Reacting To The Idea That Ignorance Doesn't Keep You Safe In This World

I think it's like they're both reacting to the idea that ignorance doesn't keep you safe in this world as pointed out by multiple people in tma

but Alice's reaction is don't get involved in the world of horrors to begin with and Sam's reaction is to not be so ignorant

I've seen a lot of takes about Sam and Alice's relationship recently and I really don't think it's as black and white as people make it. Being team Sam or team Alice feels like simplify the situation too much.

They're Exs. Ex long term partners at that. This wasn't a few months fling it was years. It was complicated enough that Sam stuck around when Alice's parents died but then drifted away when he could. Alice got him the job after a sad vague post not after an actual conversation.

They clearly want different things. Sam wants a friend but also clearly wants there to be clear boundaries between them (not talking about each others love lives) and not to forget the past. Alice wants her best friend back. She wants to ignore the bad bits from the past and be as close as they used to be. They're both clearly lonely but you really feel it with the way Alice is was Sam.

Alice is a protective person. You see it with her brother and even Gwen honestly. She's also awful at showing it. Don't get me wrong, she shows some really controlling behaviour but it never seems to be done out of malice or even done in a self-serving way (some exceptions). This was clearly a reason for their breakup.

Sam clearly feels like he needs to prove himself. He also wants to know what's going on. When Alice tries to stop him he's clearly remembering something she's done in the past. He clearly doesn't want to be babied by his ex. So, as a result, he's seeing everything she's doing to stop him looking into cases as a way to control him. Even when (most clearly in the latest episode) she's just trying to stop him walking into danger.

The issue is neither of them are listening to each other. They both think they're right and the other just doesn't understand. Instead of talking to each other, Sam's just shouting at Alice and Alice is trying any round about way she can to stop Sam.

Anyway. This post is a mess I just think they're both super interesting.

no but this scene was so Rose and Jack in the empty child (01×09) coded and I love that for them

Rogue doesn’t actually know it’s psychic paper, he just thinks the Doctor handed him a note that says You’re hot to save his ass

I love merlin as dragoon he just gets to be a bitch to everyone and you can tell he enjoys it

like yeah he's a really serious sorcerer or whatever but he's also a little bitch and you've gotta respect him for that

rewatching bbc merlin and playing the fun game of who did the guest character play in doctor who

episode one starts off strong with gwen fuckin Cooper

recently had queen Victoria

something about the cases in tmagp keep reminding me of multiple of the fears so theory that they're not actually separate here

that smirkes 14 genuinely won't work for them

they came here directly after tma after they'd been fully in the universe where Jon specifically said the old divisions don't mean that much anymore so maybe that's still the case

because even then the eye was very separate because it was in charge and that still seems to be the case for some cases but the rest of them feel mingled like they fall under multiple fear categories

and the powers working together isn't a totally new concept leitner mentioned The Key of Solomon had elements of multiple powers

I also could be completely wrong because I was also never great at leitners whole what does the thing represent but tma statements felt more distinct than these
