- Cute Felix/Jake moment right at the beginning! <3
- Still loving the fact that the girls are involved more. I LOL'ed at Ellen interrupting the magic spell. :D
- BTW, Sam was so excited for this spell, did you see? He was adorable throughout. Fish emergency!
- "I don't hate you; that would mean I care!" Oh, Ellen, you're fooling absolutely no one.
- Jake and Mr. Bates. This continues to amuse me, especially since Jake's mum and Mr. Bates are kinda cute together.
- Saskia is kind of cool and really cute. I don't want her to be evil, no matter what Nai-Nai said.
- And they're only now coming up with the idea that Andy might be in the other universe? Oh boys. But THANK YOU SAM for being the voice of reason for once. *g*
- OMG JAKE. I AM CONCERNED BUT ALSO EXCITED. (So pretty much like Felix. :p)
- I loved Felix getting into Roland's face like that.
- OMG NAI-NAI! <3 "Too much earth." Like it's the most obvious thing in the world. (Which it actually kind of is because there was way too much earth on him...)
- ELLEN IS A WATER ELEMENT OMG SO GOOD. And they saved Jake, which is a big plus. *g*
- More cross-universe travel! <3
- I'm so confused about things, but also really excited.

I'm really excited! :)
Poor Jake broke my heart ... and ugh so much body horror! O___O

But I also really like Saskia and want to know more about her....
Oh and also - could we get a girl cycle too? Like with Ellen, Mia, Viv and Saskia? That would be awesome!

[seraphina_snape]

But at least they saved Jake! And it looks like they're making progress on the Andy front. *g*

I like Saskia too. I don't want her to be evil, but it looks like she might be.

Yes! That would make sense - Saskia as Earth, Ellen as water, Viv and Mia as air and fire (although I'm not sure which should be which - I'm leaning towards Viv as the fire element though).

Well, Saskia didn't appear to be evil in this episode. But the fact that she's an earth element would go with the golem theory. Maybe Alice can control her to do stuff (monitor the boys, for example), but Saskia herself is not evil?

[seraphina_snape]

I'd love it if she wasn't evil and it was just Alice using her. I don't think we'll get much Saskia in the next ep though. :(

No, but double Ellen is going to be so much fun, especially considering their very different personalities. XD

[seraphina_snape]

And it looks like goth!Ellen is determined to talk to her other self.

[nessaniel.livejournal.com]

Oh, this was lovely! Still miffed about Andy being nowhere in sight but Sam helping Felix climb through the window and Sam touching Jake every available moment MADE UP FOR THAT MUAAHAHHA.

I love Ellen being the new water element! Kinda makes me wonder why Felix didn't check for her magic potential when he put his group of friends together xD (Or as my friend said: "WHEN HE STOLE HIS GROUP OF FRIENDS.")

Jake suffers beautifully, though, whether he has to watch his mum flirt with people or when he turns into stone (I like the idea so much! Does that mean the boys/girls always have to stay together? YEAH DON'T CARE THIS HAS TO MEAN THAT AKA ALL THE COLLEGE-ROOMATE-AUs <333)

[seraphina_snape]

But they're in the other universe. It's only a matter of time! I hope.

There was so much touching. Sam ruffling Jake's hair. Sam putting his hands all over Felix. Felix and Jake grabbing at each other and flirting.

Maybe it was an instance of being too close. Anything weird around them he probably put down to his own powers, so he didn't notice Ellen.

The actor a really good job looking sick. I mean, parts of that were makeup, but it's not easy to fake being really sick.

ALL THE COLLEGE AUS! Sign me up. :p

Maybe it was an instance of being too close. Anything weird around them he probably put down to his own powers, so he didn't notice Ellen.

Ohhh I like that! And it fits really well with Felix' "accidental egoism" - he is usually so focused on himself that he tends to misjudge/underestimate the people around him. <3333

OKAY I SIGNED YOU UP. NOW WHO IS GONNA WRITE THIS FOR US?

[seraphina_snape]

Absolutely. Same with his belief that he knows more than others about magic so he must be right. Usually he is, but a little common sense can go a long way, even if you bring magic into it. *g*

OKAY I SIGNED YOU UP. NOW WHO IS GONNA WRITE THIS FOR US?

That's a really good question! Do you know anyone who owes you a life debt and would be willing to write like 20k of this, plus a few sequels...? 'Cause I'm fresh out of slavespeople I can bug into writing.

[nessaniel.livejournal.com]

Well I just had the last person pay off their debt to me (not sure what to do with so many goats, but oh well) so there is only hope DDx

(I would love for them to move in together and share college experiences. And all the others making fun of Felix lovingly when he finally outgrows his goth-face xD)

i just started watching this show last week and i've been marathoning off and on since then. so, am i just looking in the wrong places or does practically no one ship jake/sam?

[seraphina_snape]

As far as I can see, people seem to pair everyone with Felix. You could try AO3, but I don't know if they have Jake/Sam works specifically. Sorry.

[eviljellybean88.livejournal.com]

AO3 was the first place i looked and they don't have any :/ i mean, i ship everyone with everyone pretty much so it's not a problem. i was just finding it interesting that everywhere i went people were shipping every pairing except jake/sam :)

[seraphina_snape]

Yeah, that is weird. Maybe because Sam is so obviously attached to Mia? IDK, usually that kind of thing doesn't really stop people from shipping stuff, though.

[eviljellybean88.livejournal.com]

true, and also true, it doesn't so that's why i found it unusual b/c his obvious attachment to mia hasn't stopped people from shipping him with felix and andy. also, with the way jake likes to touch everyone, i thought at the very least there might be some one sided pining fic, but nope :/

[seraphina_snape]

Maybe it's because he and Jake are a lot more similar than, say, Andy and Sam or Felix and Jake. They have more in common with each other and maybe that makes it a less interesting ship for people?

[eviljellybean88.livejournal.com]

yeah, i thought about that too, since they are the 2 who were at least a little friendly with each other before the storm and they're the 2 popular ones out of the 4. so, with the whole opposites attract thing, i can totally see why people ship the other pairings.
