My daughter is named Daisy. She’s a competitive fighter at only 7 years old. We nicknamed her Daisy the Destroyer as a toddler. I might need to introduce her to yoga and macrame.

[@AlysidaMagica]

This episode was so well done. Derek and Collin’s story being a parallel to Daisy and Basira’s, the episode name “accomplice” fitting both stories, the deeply tragic end to Daisy and Basira’s character arcs. And on top of that tragic end, Basira was hoping she could save Daisy, but the writers didn’t actually go with that trope. To be entirely honest, as heartbreaking and sad as that scene was, I would have been disappointed if Rusty Quill had saved Daisy. I loved Daisy and I loved how she was mellowing out and befriending Jon last season, but pulling the “power of friendship cures all” card in a story like this? Especially in that situation? It would’ve killed the atmosphere of the series and the season. So as much as I hate that Daisy had to die, from a meta perspective I’m glad the writers made it happen.

[@Falcon-doing-doodles]

In a different time, a different place, I think she could have become someone better. But these were, however unfortunate, the circumstances she was stuck in led her to this.

[@mayapopp6464]

i think daisy forcing herself to repress the hunt for so long caused it all to come out in one great swoop when the eye thing happened

[@azulBjort_1406]

Yeah

[@kokonue]

Yeah but I think it started when she hunted Trevor and the girl

RIP Daisy. The person she was without the Hunt influencing her the way it had all her life deserved better.... but then, everyone deserves better than whatever their end in Fear World may be.

There is actually a word for “Dream Logic”- it’s called Pataphysics and it’s actually quite interesting

@cak01vej and how is it not a real thing? Science isn't a real thing.

[@luxill0s]

I don’t think we’re worried about things making sense when we’re talking about dream logic, but this was a neat explanation. Alfred Jarry sounds like a name that would fit right in to TMA to be honest

[@jydeosaure6564]

Jons just gettibg ripped to shit, poor guy, he never gets a moment of rest and now his leg is mangled

[@macabrecitrus2127]

Interesting parallels here, between Derek & Colin and Daisy & Basira. Especially with the Derek and Colin always having "each other’s backs" stuff which is repeated throughout the statement. And then you have Basira saying "She’s always had my back. Always" about Daisy, at the end. Only in their case, their questionable actions were supposed to be on the side of the law

[@BeautifulEarthJa]

Real life

[@trin-is-late]

Yes, Basira, he respects your privacy. Once again, she’s upset (in this case because of Daisy), and punching at Jon because she knows he won’t hit back. So consistent…

[@NicholasJovian]

So many thoughts. A few: 1. The parallels and callbacks are marvelous. Always, always love that kind of thing. 2. Basira projects like a movie theatre. 3. Martin makes a very good mother.

[@Companion92]

After knowing about all the bad things Daisy did in the past, I still feel really bad about her endling like this. Esp because we got to know her without her being controlled by the hunt after the coffin

[@midnights2631]

It's tragic, Daisy wanted to do better but she was forced to give into the Hunt. Hearing her say Basira's name broke me, I have tears in my eyes. :,(

[@thedistinguished5255]

after all that time serving the hunt, it was the only way she knew how to help. she wouldve adapted eventually, but in that moment everything in her that wasn't the hunt was weak.

[@dandeliondaffodyls1426]

She sounded so monstrous. I wonder what she looked like. RIP Daisy :(

[@mivilkku]

Hearing Jon get hurt since a long time ago felt oddly... satisfying. Maybe I'm starting to see him as an avatar, as a monster. It's good to be reminded he can still feel things.

[@user-uk9wr2gt6n]

lesbians killing each other so typical but still made me cry

[@implodingcolon1058]

This episode gave me mixed feelings. On one hand I feel bad for Daisy, she was trying to be a better person in the end and could have started down a path of redemption before everything went to shit. On the other hand Basira remains an unlikable asshole with no redeeming qualities and her suffering was immensely satisfying

[@octoberwind_]

yeah i can't help giving no shit about Basira all along and can't justify why would anyone care for her like Jon and Martin do

we need to remember martin also became pretty close to becoming a lonely avatar, and one of the side effects was literally not caring about anyone, even himself. I'd like to think this is something he is aware of in this season and working on, but you can't really change how you feel

I don't know why but I just love the sound of when Jon is either doing a statement and/or using his powers it does something to my brain Edit: The fact that evwn with an archivist fully in between her teeth Daisy still finds a way to call out to her girlfriend, cute Edit: If Martin can worry about Basira getting herself killed while she's on her own even during the apocalyps then he will forever be able to hold that title of being a cinnamon roll

No. No redemption arc. This was Daisy's story. In Basira's head, she is eternally the righteous one. Thats how she's been analyzed and that "I'm not sorry it ended this way" meant. Basira is an example of Law without mercy or kindness.

[@WeAreAirborne]

Is it bad that I wish Basira would have been killed in the attack? I just... REALLY don't like that woman.
