no no you don't understand they literally worked so hard on this season, with the budget cuts and the fan pressure, and everything before (and after) and now they can actually sit back and bask in it? They can enjoy possibly the best times of their lives where people tell them they did a good job? Like they can share those blurry bts they took that no one except core fans would appreciate and they get to watch us lose it, praise them, give them all the credit for a great season all round? I'm genuinely so happy for them
Ok but I NEED TO TALK ABOUT MY TWO FAVOURITE FRAMES FROM THE BROS HUG
After the first hug, Mario immediately goes to gently cup and pull Luigi's face towards him. He needs to take in that his brother is right here. He needs to make sure that he's not hurt.
And stars help Bowser if Luigi was!
THE FOREHEAD TOUCH
Oh stars the forehead touch. So much meaning in this one moment ❤💚
Now, forehead touches can have various meanings in many cultures; but in general, touching ones forehead to another person's is a way to get across love, soothe anxiety, and can be seen as a protective gesture.
And that's exactly what's happening here. The Bros are grounding themselves in the moment. And look at the way their eyes meet! In various cultures as well, the eyes are believed to be windows to the soul. The Bros are not just communicating through their physical affection - they are healing each other's hearts.
And given what they have been through, they need it 💗
In this one moment, the Bros can forget about the terror and danger around them.
In this one moment, they are able to focus on the one thing that matters the most to them.

Also a side note: Luigi doesn't say a word during this exchange (not counting after, when he makes the bear comment 😁). And some will probably think "Oh man that sucks!", but honestly it says a lot about these characters. Luigi chooses to remain silent, because he knows that if he attempted to speak in that moment, he would burst into tears and be unable to stop💧
sometimes being aroacespec is confusing. what do you mean, most people can tell the difference between platonic and romantic and sexual attraction? what do you mean people don't "choose" crushes? what do you mean that people can imagine themselves in a physical situation with someone else?? isn't dating just Friendship Plus??? hell, isn't marriage just Friendship Plus?????????
what do they mean??????????? what are feelings???? why am i so confused????????
*edit: changed "aroace" to "aroacespec", since several aromantic people felt that this was not an Aromantic Feeling. i see you, i hear you, and so i changed it to be more accurate to me personally, since i am Confused About Feelings Always
the way garak looks at bashir as he puts all the clues together at the end of cardassians. the sheer 'look at that little twink go (affectionate, sexual overtones)' energy he manages to convey in the background there as bashir passionately does the presentation of their group project that garak did 80% of the actual work on. immaculate
Just.... Your f/o suddenly realizing that you've become so important to them.
I'm thinking about the absolute beauty in changing your f/os' lives. There was something missing in their life before, whether they knew it or not. And then one day... One day you show up and change everything. Maybe it's at first sight, or maybe it's slowly over time. But any way you slice it, it's different now. Whether they'll admit it out loud or not, you have changed their life for the better. They wouldn't want to live without you. They found that missing piece; It was you.
After dying to an atomic creeper in a cave and stressing over potentially losing all his items, Pac returns home to set his spawn and receives a sweet surprise:
His cat falls asleep on top of him and purrs when he goes to bed :')
There needs to be a scientific study done on how Rockstar Games' Arthur Morgan is able to provoke the most earth shattering emotions I didn't even know I had in me
How I've seen most people write Rangi coming out to her mom:
Rangi: Mom, I have something to tell you.
Hei-Ran: Go on.
Rangi: Kyoshi and I.....are.....together.
Hei-Ran: Oh I'm so happy for you.
*they hug it out, much wholesome*
How I think the coming out scene went:
Rangi: Mother. I need to tell you something, Kyoshi and I are together.
Hei-Ran: Oh thank the spirits. It finally happened.
Rangi: ???? You knew????
Hei-Ran: Sweetie, everyone in the mansion-no, all of Yokoya knew about it! Well except for Kyoshi.
Rangi: ????!! WHAT?!
Hei-Ran: I'm pretty sure Jianzhu thought you were dating, that's probably why he kidnapped you, you know?
Rangi: WH-HOW?!
Hei-Ran: Oh please, we saw your gay little ass running all over the damn mansion just to be near Kyoshi and to impress her. We were mute, not blind and deaf!
Rangi, having a crisis: I-wha-but-
Hei-Ran: Well, you aren't very good at hiding your emotions sweetie.
Rangi, flipping a nearby table: The fuck you mean I'm not?????!
Hei-Ran: Oh curses, go get Atuat, I owe her $5.
Rangi: YOU BETTED ON THIS????? WITH YOUR DOCTOR?????
Hei-Ran: Well Kelsang is dead, so I had to keep our bet alive somehow.
Rangi: I-*inhales* YOu know what? Doesn't matter! Do you accept Kyoshi or not?
Hei-Ran: Anybody who gives my girl that much cardio is 100% welcome into our family. In fact, I already added her to our family registry 2 years ago. As far as the Fire Nation is concerned, you two have been married for a while.
every time someone mischaracterises jay ferin as the therapist friend a fairy loses its wings btw. put some respect on her emotionally-constipated ass.
Dude I'm so emotional about Charlie singing a rap lullaby to Sunny. As a person whose favourite egg was Flippa since the start (and still is) - watching Charlie do the same thing he did for her in the initial days means so much to me. There's so many things to be said about how Charlie is a completely different person than he was at the start of this journey. Life, choices, and, circumstances have all let him to a stage where he even if he tries to improve, everyone and everything around him is serving as a reminder of the mistakes he's made. On top of that these reminders are also serving as a knife being twisted in the already rotting away scar of his grief.
And yet, in this scenario now when he is emotionally down and his self esteem has been shot down all the way to hell - he doubts himself and his actions so much regardless of the intentions he carries. Now here comes Sunny like a whiplash - this little bundle of joy whose jumping around and wanting to be with Charlie and it's despite of knowing all the things she has heard multiple different people tell her - she still approaches him with the same love in her heart and the same shine in her eyes as the diamonds she carries.
However, this time instead of falling into his spiral of self-hate and becoming a catalyst to the destiny he fears, this time he tries to try despite his doubts and it's all for this Sunny who looks at him like he's her world and who kills someone just to be with her dad. And oh he sings for her the same way he sang when he originally felt the feeling closest to this. And maybe just maybe her love for him might end up helping him love himself a little bit more.
So okay the majority of us agree on these things about Sonic Prime right?
Rebel Rouge and Renegade Knuckles are DEFINITELY together and would die for each other
Nine is an angsty baby that deserves to be protected and have a happy ending (please Netflix I swear to god)
Also Sonic seeing every version of Tails gets him in protective big brother mode and the impact that has on Tails is adorable
Rusty Rose must have some of OG Amy's compassion in there but her transformation in part robot probably hid that aspect of her personality in the programming
Shadow was waiting in the void for God knows how long, calling for Sonic with the mere purpose of beating the shit out of him
Sonic must have some neurodivergency (ADHD maybe?) and there is NO way he's straight
About that one ⬆️. Seriously, all the ships got fuel and all showed chemistry and/or tension. ALL. OF. THEM. HOLY SHIT (also I'm a Multishipper now, thanks Sonic Prime
Now being more specific about each character I'd say:
Rouge is cunning in every universe
Tails is baby in every universe
Amy is down for murder in every universe
Knuckles is strong-willed in every universe
Big... has Froggy in every universe
Sonic's strength are his friends, in every universe
