The Endless Cycle Of Complaining Youve Run Out Of Fics To Read, Devouring The New 10-20k At The Top Of

The endless cycle of complaining you’ve run out of fics to read, devouring the new 10-20k at the top of the date updated page and going back to complaining how you’ve run out of fics to read.

Tbh the final season of killing eve really wasn’t it for me. While overall a great series I wasn’t as drawn into the story, and it felt like it was relying heavily on the narrative of the previous series to have any sort of impact, not even including the ending. There were many irrelevant plot points or items that could’ve been dealt with much more efficiently, and it was sad to see such a great series struggle towards the end, especially when previous series were so intense and capturing.

‘Creature’ by half alive is little Nico Di Angelo finally saying fuck you to his 1940’s Italy internalised prejudice and fully embracing his greek lineage and homosexuality all in one smashing song and you cannot tell me it wasn’t made for him.

‘I am creation both haunted and holy, made in glory’

My dude is belting this and I love that for him

My favourite personal theory for Alex Rider that could semi-realistically be cannon and fits a lot of fic the fandom has made is that Alan Blunt arranged Ian’s death and only blamed it on Yassen.

- My most important evidence is that Blunt is simply a Bastard and the real villain in the whole series. I will not elaborate.

- Ian’s death would have been highly beneficial to Blunt when Alex was old enough to be sent on missions, but young enough to be impressionable and controlled while being indoctrinated into the agency. If Blunt had caught wind that Ian was training Alex all he would have to do was remove Ian and the boy was his.

-Semi-related to that point, Ian may have been pretty abesent but he 100% did not leave Alex’s custody with the bank. He would have known there was a chance of being killed in a mission and had better contingency plans for that. Blunt faked the documents which a 14 year old Alex would not have been able to argue with.

-Blunts actions towards Alex and easy control over him also suggest he’s been watching him for a while (possibly just due to his bloodline) but nevertheless would have had time to plan it all out.

-Next is that the multiple shots to the car don’t fit Yassen’s style and although Ian isn’t the same as John or Alex, I still feel Yassen killing Ian wouldn’t have been as simple as that. By blaming Yassen though, Blunt would have been preventing Alex from getting in contact with him and covering up about his family history right from the start. The Assasin was also an easy scapegoat for why Ian’s death would have looked a little too clean.

- We see that by the end of the series, Blunt methods are too extreme even for MI6’s own employees suggesting he was 100% capable of pulling off something like this.

-Even more, writing Yassen and Alex getting on so well when Yassen literally killed his uncle is something I’ve seen the fandom struggling with a lot. The whole narrative that Yassen killed Ian doesn’t really fit well to readers (especially knowing his past with Alex’s father) and it’s one of the main obstacles that stops them being closer in canon. I feel like they’re so similar to each other and the family like dynamic the fandom creates around them is just so fitting, Blunt blamed Yassen to avoid anything like this manifesting

-Final point, did I mention Blunt is a bastard? If not, Blunt is a Bastard and would 100% do something like this

I would pay to read a book about the alphabet if it was written by Madeline Millar

Will Solace Headcannon

I’m an absolute sucker for outside POV and while I’m not complaining most of them are centred around Percy in school or out in NYC etc when there’s a fantastic opportunity for one Will Solace to show off his own talents.

Give me Will Solace in his first year of medical school inexplicably having wayyyy too much experience with surgeries, emergencies medicine and really serious wounds etc.

This Texas kid who has just shown up out of seemingly nowhere does not bat an eye when people come in with the most gruesome injuries the senior doctors have ever seen. While the rest of the juniors are being ushered out before they throw up or feint Will’s just standing there like normal Tuesday, how can I help :)

He quickly gets nicknamed ‘golden boy’ by peers and mentors alike for 2 reasons. The first is Will is just really freaking easy to find. There’s not a whole lot of honey blond, over 6 foot, tanned, muscled and southern residents wondering around the hospital who can look that good in scrubs.

The second is he is just genuinely the best they have ever seen. Will’s stitches are immaculate, his manner with patients soothes them instantly and he’s basically unflappable under pressure; He excels in emergency situations, completely comfortable in his own natural authority and the people he’s supposed to be learning from completely forget he’s technically only in his first year.

I just want to see a little outside appreciation for Will Solace, who has effectively been running his own hospital for years.
