Hold up a min this picture on AC Codename Jade official website is Kassandra (ok maybe with 95% confidence)???

those muscular arms and those scars

pilgrim/traveler outfit (implying she's a traveler ey?)

Artemis bow and its corresponding quiver

Leonidas spear on the quiver (the blade is a lil dull which makes sense for over 200 yrs + losing its power, but Herodotus suppose to have it so did she take it back for a bit? Would be funny if she just digs it up because she's homesick and then goes, 'Sorry my guy I'll put it back' asdasda)

Now this is in AC Odyssey: Pilgrim outfit (another name for it is "Traveler outfit" *wink wink*), Artemis bow, Athenian Sandals, Tracker's Gloves (wondering who she's tracking maybe that's how she went to China)

3. any meta you've been dying to share about House MD or House MD characters?

i always think the grief meta is interesting and also the two (2) instances of opera that I can remember.

i might've been reaching when i had this brain blast, but when i was rewatching s2. e2 autopsy the other month (yes that episode), house is listening to nessun dorma. He's listening to it in the locker room then he pauses it to play the sounds of the girl's heart beat for the fellows - he plays the beat of i think 3 different valves & it's the third one that has the issue. in the opera, there are 3 riddles that need to be solved in order for turnadot to be saved. I was like omg.... the riddles.... i was just looking up the song again to remind myself of what my thought was at that point tho and found this that someone else wrote about it! I dont agree with everything they wrote but they also have a bit of meta anlysis about the opera in regards to the episode!

Then i thought it was interesting that wilson mentioned feeling like he needed to go see la boheme in 5.22 (when danny is found and wilson takes a walk without a jacket). la boheme, the opera where the very opening lines of the entire show are about how cold the characters are. because they are poor. (rent is based on la boheme, for context). the opening song theyre debating what to burn in the fire for warmth and complaining that they are hungry for lack of food. in the episode where wilson "wants to see what it would be like to be homeless in a new jersey winter". and he says he hates opera. okayyyy big guy suuuure.

Rewatching the DHMIS TV show for the second time, it definitely strikes me that a fair portion of the death episode involves things someone would say / do specifically after the death of a child.

"So quiet here without David, isn't it?"

By far the most gutting thing to the grieving parents I've known is how quiet their house is after their child dies.

The make-a-friend kit calls to mind the people who say, "Well, you can always have another baby" and just completely don't understand how the child who was lost can never be replaced in any meaningful way. Alternatively, something else I've witnessed: pushing the grieving parent toward a toy like a stuffed animal or a doll (something that can never die, and Stain calls himself the Forever Boy).

On the "another baby" train of thought, Stain lives with the constant shadow of the dead person hanging over him, not allowed to develop his own identity, shoehorned into being as much like the deceased child as possible. He begins life with a blank slate and an innocent, open-minded curiosity, but others' expectations and demands effectively traumatize him into a hollow caricature of the original person.

I think the show can be about a lot of things concurrently - as a writer who lives and breathes symbolism like air, my own work is often about a lot of things concurrently - but I can definitely see "child loss" threaded through the underlying themes.

Also, the sad tissue box seems to have a vital signs monitor, which I haven't seen anyone else point out yet.

"I want Hobie and Noir to be friends in the next movie!"

Well i want them to have sex on screen
