Boring. That was the best way to describe the meeting Seviathan was in. He had agreed to meet with the king of Wrath ring in place of his father. It had been beyond annoying. Every one knew that each ring was ruled by one of the sins. Luckily, despite being the Wrath king, Satan was quite reasonable.
That didn’t mean the meeting wasn’t boring.
After three hours of sitting there, it was finally over and Sev was ready to go and relax. Maybe sight see. His limo traveled down the dirt roads when it stopped at a saloon. Sev was curious and stepped out, sighing. He much preferred casual places and appreciated this.
Bestie im afraid to tell you this but… Something might happen to Octavia in these final episodes…
I’ve been thinking about this all night and i am in shambles.
Here Stella says “I dont care who you have to go through, make it happen”
not “i dont care what you have to do, make it happen”
not “ I dont care how you do it, make it happen”
She says “i dont care who”
There has to be a particular reason that this is the wording the the crew decided to go with.
idk… it sounds like foreshadowing and i dont like it.
even if its not Octavia this line in itself HAS to indicate that there is a ‘who’ that striker will have to go through in the future…
ughhh
Additionally, just…the overall structure of the shot immediately after she says this.
visually, Octavia is the SUBJECT of this scene. She is Directly in the middle of the shot, which again COULDVE BEEN DONE DIFFERENTLY IN SO MANY WAYS. they couldve had the shot cut to stolas himself, they couldve had it pan over to stolas, they couldve had it just be Stolas and Stella in a hallway as Stella talks to striker just within earshot stolas. but no. they chose to include Octavia in this scene and have her be at the center of it.
Her placement between her mother and father may also visually imply that she may be caught in the crossfire between her father’s antics and her mother’s wrath.
like- its literally displayed perfectly in this shot. Stolas being an oblivious ditzy idiot and Stella being Furious AF. literally the core issue of their family dynamic that often ends up hurting Octavia the most out the three of them.
y'all… it is not looking good….
Like please god tell me im grasping at straws…
please viv prove me wrong. PLEASE
I WILL GO APE SHIT IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THIS CHILD.
i will literally shatter into a million pieces and die if we have to explore Stolas coming to terms with the fact that he was the reason for the most important person in his life getting hurt or worse…
like….it got me thinking……..
What if the line “when im gone you’ll be okay” in Stolas’s song wasnt a lesson for Octavia to learn
but for Stolas to learn…….
i amNOTokay.
I’d like to add to this: they’ve clearly set Striker up as not only a very smart mercenary, but also a charming, manipulative alpha-male with a gift for playing with people’s insecurities. And then you have Octavia, this angsty, lonely, vulnerable teenage girl with Daddy Issues, and whose father would absolutely do anything to protect her.
I’m not saying this is obviously where they’re going with this. But like, if I were Striker, and I knew what the audience knows…
