i think i see what you mean. the ending is a kind of punishment? killing the dream? like queer kinky psychopath love is a fantasy and eve/villanelle need to wake up to reality through death?

the finale is literally just three different threesomes then when it’s finally just the two of them they break down that’s the whole episode

in some ways s2 is overall weaker than s1 but the finale is just. finale of all time ever. everything comes together. i aspire to write like this

and fanfic is so focused on interiority (as a genre) so there was simply so much one could write about (and still could. maybe??)

laura @liraels.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

and particularly this goes for eve of course. that’s why her monologue in the final scene is so fantastic - she finally says it, the audience finally gets a glimpse of that function inside her brain. how it sucks everything up and spits it out as the messy, uncaring, unreasonable things she does

dialogue-driven. you see the results of the characters’ obsession but you don’t see the hash function that gets them there (to borrow from seth dickinson). that leaves writers with sooooo much to imagine and play with

re-thoughts on ke s1 re-watch: the big reason i got so i to writing fic for this show is that it does not lay out the characters’ internal worlds for show. there’s no explanatory dialogue, no heart to hearts, no sharing of feelings or motivation. the most insightful scenes are visual, not+

hmmm i guess im not sure if ive noticed the shift myself? fanfic felt like something on the outer when i was younger, and still does to me now, even if the % of ppl who engage with it might be higher

I will try to forgive myself for living in the dark; for my loss of wonder; for forgetting how to play. I will try to forgive myself for being absent in public, and bored before stars.

they’re supposed to be! but every company is applying the under-16 social media ban differently. i havent got any age verification prompts on any other social media yet

laura @liraels.bsky.social · 26/12/2025

unfortunately this app wants me to provide my face/ID for age verification before i can continue using features (like DMs) so…. it may be over for me and blusky :(
