I don't know how to explain it but "I don't dance" in High school musical and "What is this feeling?" In the Wicked musical have to be on the spectrum between two characters who got the right idea of how they feel for one another but one is scared to embrace it while the other is supportive and slightly encouraging on one end. While on the other end, both characters have mutual feelings for each others yet they confuse it with rivalry and loathing.....
I don't know if I'm making sense of it but it's something about two characters who sing a song about how their feelings about the other to each other while not connecting the dots for some reason.

I truly find it interesting how two characters of the same-gender can have such strong feelings towards one another and being played off as "rivalry" or "enemies." HOWEVER, let one or both character have a lack of development with the opposite gender and it's "true love," "enemies to lovers 🤪🤪 omggg 💖💖." YET, both characters still have built a better friendship and more, and still people love to delude themselves into thinking they're just "friends" and we should stop making everything "gay" when the characters do it themselves of looking each other like they wanna kiss so hard that their faces clash into each other and blood is running down their nose while they are latching onto each other as if the world is gonna fuckin end yet still wanna get fucked HARD and passionate.

I'm so tired seeing her getting her ass kicked and it's a shame like THIS WOMAN IS A UNIT!!!
Her body tea. She's super thick. She's super pretty💖
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Idc she's 6'0 to me

I do love seeing characters all bloodied up from a fight. I truly do, and I feel like we don't appreciate that art enough.
Tumblr media
Lost a fight to Vi and got a lightsaber sword second round like good for her.
Tumblr media
Like I do understand why folks would go FERAL especially if she grabs you like this
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Her voice is music to ears ✨️
Tumblr media
She doesn't get enough credit for all the shit being handed to her. From dealing with snakes and silco's business to losing to a pair of sisters and needing to repair her arm each time. Hopefully, she finally quits smokin and train harder cause Finn did say there's bigger fish than silco. Who really knows

I'm sorry but as time progresses Xena lets Gabrielle know at every chance how much she means to her and I honestly love it. Like you truly see growth from the earlier seasons as them being "friends" to something that blossomed into a beautiful, strong connected bond than a friend but a best friend and soul mate rolled into one. It's also fun just watching a tall, masculine woman express how much she loves and cares for the people she loves, especially Gabrielle.

I do wanna say there's so much to take when Nandor takes the stake to himself in order for Guillermo to decide to kill him or not. He wasn't going to fight back as it probably wouldn't matter if Guillermo did kill him because Nandor would likely take his own life after killing him because maybe just maybe Guillermo had a light to him that Nandor sees that maybe continuing his (long-lasting vampiric) life isn't so bad as long as Guillermo was by his side. We all know how Nandor began to question his existence and become depressed to whether or not it was worth living as a vampire in the past. If he had to take the life of the one person (Guillermo) who brought some light into his life, him and everyone else made it clear that he would take his life as well.
There's some depth of how much trust Guillermo really has for Nandor which is understandable in a way. In this season, there's many scenes that highlights how Nandor remembers minimal things of Guillermo that Guillermo didn't think he would remember. I do dislike the whole excuse Laszlo gives about vampires not being good at telling the people they love and care about how they truly feel. However, their actions kind of gives the balance they lack of it.
I do wanna say if Nandor was willingly to get stabbed with a stake by Guillermo as they lock eyes going to be similar to a possible scene with Stede and Ed from Ofmd in Season 2? NOW I ask this question because Guillermo didn't trust Nandor especially when he came to his mother's home without no explanation of what's to happen. In the end, Nandor surrenders himself in order for Guillermo to see for himself if he is lying or not.
In ofmd, it is Ed who felt betrayed by Stede and so when they cross paths again, is Stede gonna try to explain how and why he didn't come with Ed or is he going to feel betrayed as well for getting rid of his books, stuff, stole half his crew, attempted murder on lucius, and left the rest of the crew on an island??
Like if there's a similar scene but Stede sees how much Ed was hurt and gives himself up if it would make Ed happy to kill him, How is every viewer gonna take this?

I just finished watching the Nimona movie twice and I instantly love it from beginning to end ❤️
Idk if anyone mentioned it yet but when Nimona tells Ballister that they should lay low until they rise like the phoenix and overthrow the government ......then Nimona rewriting history by saving the citizens by sacrificing themselves. Nimona transforms into the (symbolical) phoenix going from this "monster" to a hero, overthrew the director, and finally received the love they've longed for....
Tumblr media
Please go watch Nimona on Netflix 💖

I took long to realize that in the Xena clips, when Xena and Gabrielle reunite in "Family Affair" they edited her line "Oh Sweetheart" to "I'm sorry."
It just feels cowardly to do that, if you ask me. Like I'm sure some of the fans by then knew they were together 💅🌈

I have a few things I took note of watching Xena Warrior Princess and one of them is how they handled Meg's character. I personally loved her out of Xena's doppelgangers as she had more spunk and funny. It sucks how they paired her with Joxer who has some feelings towards her while he's in love with Gabrielle at the same time. Like Joxer knows that Gabrielle doesn't love him romantically, so it could've been an opportunity for him to slowly move on and they build their own relationship.
Tumblr media
Watching "The Furies" episode is actually dark and sad because the whole time Xena was losing her mind and just imagined Gabrielle by her side like it was a normal day. I believe she was slowly losing it but the furies just amplified her losing her insanity. It went as far as imagining what would Gabrielle do while dealing with the furies situation.
The fight between Najara and Xena was so good especially because they both are at a equal standpoint in combat and both have a common weakness -- > Gabrielle
Even when Xena was pregnant that was not stopping her from fighting.
I loved seeing the forgiveness between Gabrielle and Callisto as Xena gave up her passage to heaven so she can reunite with her family. It felt like a full circle when Callisto reincarnated to Eve because both her and Xena lost family in the past, but only to have a family in the end. Plus I did enjoy seeing Callisto be with her family again.
I kinda tuned out with the whole Christianity thing it followed but I did enjoy the "Fallen Angel" episode cause it was fun to see Callisto and Xena as demons.
I see why most people didn't like "Married with Fishsticks" episode.
Tumblr media
The ring trilogy was just pure perfection 🥰
Idk but for the Gods to be powerful, half of them got bodied by Xena. The whole prophecy with Eve was.....something. Like I understand that Eve was the reason why some people converted to believing in Eli rather than the Gods. They made it easy for Xena to kill these Gods as there was many opportunities where they could've got an upper hand but lost.
Eve's character should've been fleshed out more as I did appreciate the little moments with her and her moms or bond with Varia.
Imo Ares and Joxer were running each other's money on who can be the most annoying somewhat unbearable man to Xena and Gabrielle.
Autolycus was another character I wished had his final moments with Xena and Gabrielle before they end off his story.
Tumblr media
What if Xena had ended on "Many Happy Returns" as Xena and Gabrielle fly away into the sunset? I mean Xena gave a love poem to Gabrielle that was written by Sappho as a birthday gift.

I just finished xena warrior princess and romantic relationship wise they raised the bar. I mean they literally went through hell and back and at some point of the show it wasn't "subtext" it was just context that you would understand if you take out the idea that they're "just friends."
I really love how much xena and gabrielle really changed each other in many ways. Both were on the spectrum of what is good vs bad until the story drifts to understanding some things are not gonna go as expected and it can force you to do what is necessary. However, what's more important is how you go about it ( doingright thing), don't lose yourself, and love comes in different forms.
It makes me happy to see Xena who used to keep to herself and just had one goal in mind for whatever mission her and gabrielle go on. As time goes by, she eventually lets her guard down around Gabrielle and very vocal to how she feels for her. The minor things I notice is how she hugs Gabrielle with such care and the head kisses she leaves on Gabrielle's head. As gabrielle always reciprocate the same comfort and always talk Xena back on the moral path. Especially, when Xena feels like she needs to be punished for the things she had did in the past and Gabrielle's words always brings her back to how she's changed and doesn't need to resort to her old ways.
Tumblr media
By the time season six was out, I feel like everyone (producers, actors, directors, etc) just wanted to go full out on showing their relationship and despite how their fates would change, they would always find each other.
Xena and gabrielle's relationship really set the bar high and I have yet to see what show or movie that has a couple that's second place or close.

Rewatching the scene where Daniel bursts in Johnny's home is too funny. Imagine your karate partner boyfriend is so pumped and drunk to get back at his ex enemy that he gets even more pissed at you cause you want to change your life for the better good?? THEN he starts asking what happened to the badass, strike first that he knew and insists on kicking your ass for you to revert back to your old self because now you're a pu$$y????
The tension is heavy as they can go off to the bedroom to release all that anger and frustration tbh.
Once Johnny asks him what he is doing, then Daniel starts to make himself comfortable. They start talking about robby and miguel as Daniel doesn't bother to correct Johnny to pronounce "Google" right. He's sipping on beer while spilling his guts about Johnny's way of teaching and comes up with "Johnny classic" before going in on how it was growing on him. THEN he finally says what almost everyone had been saying throughout the series and admits that they should've fought it out years ago to get it out their system. Johnny starts a joke to which Daniel replied "There he is" before getting up to leave and thanks Johnny.
The scene ends off with Johnny saying, "That's what I'm here for."
Oh please, you mean to tell me that these two aren't yearning for each other but too distracted to see it?

A real comeback 🔥
Tumblr media
Daniel's been winning that bet of who can get their leg up high enough. He's unconsciously giving Johnny a run for his money. Think about it, he already high kicked Johnny in the face last season and now with terry.

A small detail but Daniel wore blue and red throughout the season. He wore purple during his last fight with Terry and he used terry's technique that was used for offense, but he flips it to defense and then he ends it off with a crane kick. Does it mean that Daniel has come full circle in his life? I mean this season he was happy, angry, frustrated, sad, defeated, and in the end he is overwhelmed with joy and love from his friends and family.....

I mean this in no disrespect
Tumblr media
But you mean to tell me that the writers made a "new baby" storyline for the sake of uplifting Johnny to this slow yet maturing character and "better" dad than just make him be the present father robby needs because he already dragged the boy into this false road trip to find his adoptive son and then made the boys fight it out just in time to bond before a another child comes into his life?
Baby's can be a blessing but I think introducing another person into the show is not needed. I couldn't be the only one who noticed how in some scenes Carmen talks to Johnny as if he's a child. I think that's what make this unsatisfying to watch. If the writers changed that plot line to Carmen putting in word that now that Miguel's back, he can actually be the father that he needed when he was a kid for those boys. Johnny actually cuts back on drinking cause he takes note of how much alcohol consumed his life that he's lucky he hadn't gotten news about his health.
I think Robby alone could've uplifted his spirit to want to change considering how he hasn't been in his life for many years and wants to make it up to him before it's too late. Robby and Miguel better than me, especially robby because he just got on nice terms with his dad and slowly bond, but now he's gonna have another child.....
I think the baby news could've been better if Johnny and Carmen actually had scenes where they built chemistry than the small minutes we're given before scenes cut or cut to them kissing to aftermath of sex.

Small victories 4 Daniel this season:
- Finally had his trauma with Terry explored and taken more seriously than how it gets brushed off.
- Chozen and Johnny who got his back especially after he declared of giving up.
- Finally blows off some steam and unwind despite him coming in Johnny's home like he owned the place. He had to rethink a little as some of his influence did brush off onto Johnny cause he knows Daniel isn't in a good spot.
- Finally get some closure from all his former enemies who admit their wrong and no bad blood in end.
- Chozen being the friend that daniel needed and checking up on Daniel's well being throughout the season + encourages him to no give up.
- His marriage is back on track
- He's been reassured many times that he's not alone anymore cause he has family and friends who are there. I think it's nice since he only had Mr. Miyagi and his mom. So, to see he has a little village who cares about him is heartwarming.
- All of his former enemies boyfriends nearly killing each other off until they managed to get along and bond as one braincell. Like Daniel is the logical one between all 4 of them, it's been confirmed. A bonus that Johnny and Mike are nearly the same person except Mike uses coke and johnny drinks.
- Daniel no longer have fear of Terry and kicked his ass giving back those lessons terry taught him.
- His relationship with robby can rekindle
All this in his hotgirl summer!!!Who's doing it like him??
