So just a small detail about Sasha and Anne’s fight in “Reunion”.
It’s very, very easy to miss, but while Sasha and Anne are circling each other, there is a moment her where Sasha’s eyes changes colors.
Further breaking down the frames, we can tell that it actually flash 3 different colors. White, dark pinkish brown, and dark, dark red.
All 3 of which are just a distant, distant variant of Sasha’s Pink.
What i find more interesting, is that this is the only such moment of it’s kind.
Every other time when one of the girls inadvertently call upon their Calamity powers directly, their Eyes are always clear and bright with the blue, pink and green all very clear and visible.
This moment at the tower is the only time in the series when the eyes don’t even come close to glowing in their intended color, and furthermore, it doesn’t seem to have come with any increase in strength or speed for this duel.
This in and out of itself is interesting, and I can see 2 explanations for what caused this moment where the powers are instinctually called upon, and seemingly just fizzled out. Neither of which are exclusive from the other.
1. In this moment, Sasha is so far removed from the ideals that strength is build around(Namely protection, love, determination and force of will), that the powers simply refuse to come. She is extremely emotional, and in great need, but as she is at this point, fighting the person she loves more than anyone or anything, the powers will not flow through her.
2. The second, and in my opinion far more likely answer, is simple that when it comes down to it, Sasha’s heart isn’t in this fight. She doesn’t truly WANT to fight Anne. Not really.
The moment that ended up costing Sasha the battle, despite being stronger, more experienced and a flat out better warrior than Anne, is that at the end, Sasha ended up doing the exact same thing she did later at the gatehouse when she and Anne fought again.
Rather than dealing a final blow, Sasha instead just stood there, menacingly and pointed a sword at Anne, thinking/believing/hoping that that would be enough.
And just like at the gatehouse, this complete lack of capability of bringing herself to deliver a coup de grace, ends up with Anne counterattacking from a position of seeming defeat, and easily beating her.
I very much think this chronic inability to commit herself to actually defeat Anne decisively is why her powers fail her in this hour of need.
One of strenght’s defining virtues, is determination, a refusal to ever give up, but here, Sasha isn’t able to do that. Not with Anne. Never with Anne.
And so when she instinctually calls upon them, they immediately dissipate.
Sasha post character development: You bet the entire resistance on a CAGE MATCH?!
Sasha in Reunion: Alright, i’ll fight the person I love more than any other, in a trial by combat to settle the matter of whether Hop Pop should live or die, no problem.
Sum’:Once again trouble fall upon the peaceful coven, spreading its darkness on each Hook. Only this time only one will remain and with the help of the Savior, will decide the fate of the rest of their secret family…
Note:Shorty chapter but after all the emotion our heroes had, it was time for a short break before things get tense once again…

When Killian could finally open his eyes, he was met with the same white wall. Same annoying beeping echoing inside the room, seeping into his skull. Same antiseptic smell mixed with ether, same coldness, same cumbersome wires around his arms and glued to his chest, same… Killian froze in his bed, holding his breath, realizing where he was and what it meant: had everything just been a dream?
Jemma Lough, 43, had given up hope of seeing her beloved Toby again after failing to to return home one day in 2002
12 years later, Jemma received a shocking call and couldn’t believe when she heard that her missing cat is found.
More than a decade passed and she met her future husband Ant, 40, and set up home with him – 70 miles from the house she had shared with Toby and his mum Jackie.
So she was astonished when she received a call from a vet saying the cat, now 16, had been brought in – after he was found living at a drug rehab centre.
Jemma said: “I wish he could tell me where he’s been. His feet, which were white, are a little bit grey so you can tell he’s been living outside. I couldn’t believe the phone call. I’ve never had anything like it.
“When I took the call initially, I was shaking. There were a lot of tears when I first went to see him, it was overwhelming.”
A volunteer at the centre – two miles from Jemma’s old home in Braintree, Essex – thought Toby was a stray and took him to a vet.
Fortunately Jemma had updated her address when she moved, so her contact details came up on the cat’s microchip.
Toby is now settling back in at home with Jemma and his mum Jackie, now 18, in Yaxley, Cambs.
Jemma said: “He walked over and licked his mum’s head when he saw her again.”
“If I hadn’t updated my details then they wouldn’t have been able to find me because I had moved. Everyone should make sure their details are updated, no matter how long it has been.”
beautiful letter from naya’s mom at the glaad awards. I cried my eyes out at the reunion it’s just so sad that we lost such an icon so early in her life.
He cherished this juncture, when they met for a few moments, even if it left him with a bittersweet feeling. To see Her, so full of life, warm and radiant, slowly falling asleep, getting cold and numb as she embraced him… Yet, it was his very role to put his beloved Sun to bed so that the Night could emerge.
Here is an illustration for the upcoming issue of the Sink-Fanzine, “Divinités”(”Deities”) ! I chose to explore the bond between the Sun goddess and the Night God, both pleasant and painful to them.
This year I decided to make personnal gifts for my family <3. So for my sister I offered her a toiletry bag with a drawing of her on it and for my parents I commanded a beachbag with themselves on it. My mother waiting for my father on the beach, while he swims (accurate) with a turtle :D !
Hope you like it as they did ;* ! What a pleasur to draw them <3
