Sam Has Some Brainstorming For Monsters

🎉🎉🎉I WAS WRONG 🎉🎉🎉

What if Rob doesn't feel comfortable role-playing romance? He's new at this table and maybe he's uncomfortable with it, or it's not his style. The cast only begins their romance because Marisha and Liam break the ice first. And Travis only got into this because his WIFE made him feel comfortable role-playing romance. It's sad, but maybe that's why both of them don't take a bigger step.

listen, I know you guys are all over everyone else but ya'll need to lock in with the gnomes, because the way they're doing Pikelan this season. It's truly like one of the best foreshadowed plot-points that TLOVM is doing for Bards Lament, and I am LIVING.

The way that they're setting up the fact that Pike has been the only one to truly come to Scanlan's aid in his dilemma between wanting to be present with Kaylie & wanting to be apart of VM -- "I tried being a father and apart of this team, and I failed at both things." and how's that's just permeated Scanlan and Pike's entire storyline from episode 1 of S3.

Scanlan is SO TORN between two things: wanting to be a present father for Kaylie and wanting to show her that he can be the father she needs, as well as being apart of VM in their most desperate of times. Like he's said, he cant be in two places at once, no matter how hard he tries.

"When all the options are terrible, you go with your heart." "Yeah. And what happens when that fails, too?"

And Pike, bless her heart, is also TRYING SO HARD to find and give him a reprieve -- telling him that he'd have her if things didn't work with Kaylie, telling him that he's not bad person, encouraging him to try to reconnect to her, telling him that there might be a solution.

And now here comes Bards Lament and Scanlan is in a coma, and because Pike's been the only one to know Kaylie and Scanlan's relationship, she's the one to fully spearhead Scanlan's ritual. She's the one who's going to use her newfound power to put Kaylie in Scanlan's consciousness and have her bring him back.

And now here's Bards Lament come to rear it's ugly ass head. Scanlan is going to snap. He's going to and I have no doubt that he's going to attack Pike the most, dismissing her repeated and sought after attempts to comfort him and help him in his time of need. All the things she did for him. All of the excuses she made, helping him, supporting him. All of it thrown to the floor because his self-hating ass is so caught up on the fact that no one cares for him and no one wants him around but being SO DAMN BLIND to the fact that the one person who loves him for who he is and what he's going to be and his dreams was right there all along.

PERFECTION. FACINATING.
