I am just catching up on all of this but wow. Wow. Someone’s deeply invested …

@mythicwitch

Someone’s deeply upset and stunned rn that’s for sure

@mythicwitch

Also, hi. It’s been a while x

@runicrascal

Okay, you finish the episode (there can’t be very long left), I’ll catch up on the 87 messages you’ve sent about it, and then we’ll talk

@runicrascal

Also, hi back

I’m a mess. A puddle. Jelly. Totally wrecked.

My whole body is buzzing with adrenaline from the excitement and immediate let-down of the masquerade ball, and it spikes my heart rate all over again when I finally get a response in Discord – and a promise to talk.

I don’t know if I’m relieved or nervous or what. I also don’t know if my heightened emotions are more down to the show or the chat.

I don’t bother pausing to try and puzzle it out, because there’s only sixteen minutes left in the episode – in the season – and there feels like way too many character arcs and plotlines to try to contend with in such little time.

And no offence to Jake, but if he’s kept me waiting for him to feel like talking for almost two weeks, he can bloody well wait another sixteen minutes for me to focus on something else. Something I only evenstartedwatching because of him.

I’m not surprised when, sixteen minutes later, the finale ends and leaves me feeling irked and unsatisfied, and eager to dive straight into the start of season four – which only aired last year and is the most recent.

But season four will have to wait.

@runicrascal

Wow okay so you had a LOT of feelings about s3 haha (and yes, Daxys being persuaded back to the royal guard was … a lot. A moment for Roach getting arrested and sacrificing himself for the rest of the Rascals though! That’s a GREAT scene)

@mythicwitch

A Silversmith dance >>> Roach’s moral quandary, pls

@runicrascal

Haha

@runicrascal

It’s a shame we didn’t end up having a watch-party for this one

@mythicwitch

Yeah … Where’ve you been lately? You’ve been quiet

@runicrascal

So have you

@runicrascal

You never messaged last week, and after Comic Con I thought
