#that’s why I love this show so much it’s so funny but not at the expense of the characters personalities and it’s surprisingly sweet too

Quote
In a new interview with the New Yorker ahead of his 70th birthday on Monday, the comedian explained his theory about why there’s no “funny stuff” to watch on TV anymore. “Nothing really affects comedy,” he said, “People always need it. They need it so badly and they don’t get it.” Instead of getting sitcoms like M*A*S*H, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and All in the Family, audiences miss out, he said, as a “result of the extreme left and P.C. crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people.” [...] A look back at some of his earlier comments on a similar subject adds some context, if not clarity. In 2015, Seinfeld sat down for an episode of The Herd with Colin Cowherd podcast, where he explained his aversion to performing stand-up on college campuses. “I don’t play colleges, but I hear a lot of people tell me, ‘Don't go near colleges. They’re so PC,’” he said on the show. After giving an example of his teenage daughter using the word “sexist,” he concluded that young people “just want to use these words: ‘That’s racist’; 'That’s sexist’; ‘That’s prejudice.’ They don’t know what they’re talking about.”
Jerry Seinfeld Draws Right-Wing Praise for Comments on ‘Extreme Left’
This is such a bummer. Tell me you’re a privileged, entitled, myopic Boomer without telling me you’re a privileged, entitled, myopic Boomer.
It’s interesting to me that he says these legendary sit-coms, none of which were cruel, punching down, or hurtful, but were actually satirizing power, celebrating women, changing societal norms through representation, and using comedy to do it all, wouldn’t exist if “the extreme left” had anything to do with it.
Umm. Who does he think created these shows? And is he really that ignorant? Has this guy never read a single interview with Norman Lear? Or literally anyone in the cast of Mary Tyler Moore? I mean. Come on, man!
Teenagers and college students don’t know what they’re talking about when they tell a privileged, entitled, multimillionaire Boomer that his “jokes” can be hurtful, and maybe he could use his tremendous talent to do comedy that is just as funny without being hurtful. Okay. Got it. Keep saying that, and see how far it gets you, buddy.
Hey, Jerry Seinfeld: when blue checks on Twitter are celebrating you being a dick, it’s not because you’re so funny and such a brilliant comic; it’s because they love how you’re validating what garbage they are. You can’t see that, or don’t care, and that’s such a huge bummer.

hey can you write that Carlos Sainz is his wife Y/N (she is also Spanish) are nicknamed the couple the funny ones in the paddock because they often play pranks on each other on TikTok and they often tease each other because they have the same personality as it's their humor and that they are both tactile
glitter and lucky socks
Tumblr media
the air in imola crackled with nervous energy, race day for the emilia romagna grand prix. but amidst the tension, a familiar giggle echoed through the ferrari garage. there, carlos sainz, in his pristine red race suit, was doubled over, socks clutched in his hand.
"no, no, no!" he wheezed, laughing so hard he was struggling to breathe. "that can't be real! y/n, you didn't!"
across the garage, you, his ever-playful wife, smirked, phone in hand. "y/n! you dyed my lucky socks pink?" carlos' voice, laced with mock horror, reached your ears.
you winked, feigning innocence. "what socks, cariño? i haven't seen any pink socks around."
carlos knew that look. it was the same mischievous glint he saw reflected back in his own eyes every time he'd snuck toothpaste into your shampoo or replaced your coffee with a peppermint smoothie (much to your initial disgust since you hated it, but ultimate amusement).
"oh, come on," he whined, getting up and moving to grab you from your waist. "mi amor ¿por qué debes burlarte de mí? (my love why must you tease me?). y/n still holding up her phone, to record her shenanigans, had small tears in her eyes following her husband's reaction. after posting the tiktok the caption read: 'sending some extra luck to my favorite driver (don't worry, they're his backup pair) #f1 #pranksforsainz #losdivertidos
the video had already blown up, with comments like "y/n is savage" and "carlos, your wife is a menace!" erupting like virtual popcorn.
charles leclerc, carlos' teammate, strolled by, phone in hand. he glanced at the video, then at carlos' pink-socked foot, and burst out laughing. "mate, you're doomed!"
carlos groaned, but a smile tugged at his lips. you two were known in the paddock as 'the funny ones'. your constant pranks, playful teasing, and the undeniable fact that you seemed to share the same mischievous personality – it was all part of your humor, your way of showing affection. as charles saw the way carlos and y/n looked at eachother he chuckled as he remembered the times carlos had put a whoopie pillow down on y/n's chair infront of the ceo of ferrari much to her horror or how y/n had replaced carlos's hair gel with glitter. the two were madly in love and in such a serious world, they still found time to be human.
charles continued to recall how carlos would always hold you in anyway he could, how he would grasp on to your pinky finger in a crowd, how y/n would always hug carlos from behind, the way carlos and y/n's hand were permanently intertwined. amidst all the pranks and jokes, the couple knew each other inside and out.
later, after the race (which carlos, miraculously, managed to win, pink socks and all), you found him in the pits, a towel draped over his shoulders.
"so," you said, leaning in for a kiss that left him breathless, "about that luck i sent your way..."
carlos chuckled, pulling you into a hug. "you're lucky i love you," he mumbled against your hair.
"and you're lucky i put the real socks back in your bag before you left for the grid," you whispered, earning a playful shove that sent you both into another fit of laughter.
as mechanics swarmed around them, celebrating the win, charles shook his head, a smile playing on his lips. there they go again, he thought. those two are a riot. but then he saw you plant a big, lipstick-stained kiss on carlos' cheek, and a warmth spread through him. maybe a little paddock romance wasn't such a bad thing after all.
🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️
well i hope you liked it! thank you for sending in your request and do send more <3 happy reading! 🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️

Ancient Transformation
I know how we all love to meme on how it's stated transformation is seen in the Ancient society, but I also tend to think it's one of those cases where the actual meaning of the passage has been, well, meme'd a little too far.
(Like how the devs have had to go out of their way to point out Estinien does bathe, guys, it was aetheric alteration to his armor, and he does regularly wear armor which might lead to funk and helmet hair but he likes to be clean when it's off.)
Let's look at the actual passage in the Elpis quest "Their Greatest Contribution" where they're trying to help the charybdis fly (bolding by me):
Hermes: I shall transform and fly with it, helping it to manipulate wind until it finds its wings. Troubled Observer: What!? Y-You needn't go to such lengths… (Emet-Selch notices the WoL's confusion) Emet-Selch: You don't know? But of course not… Emet-Selch: Transformation is an art in which one manipulates a vast quantity of aether to construct another body around oneself. Emet-Selch: In practice, this allows one to assume any conceivable form, and thereby transcend the limits of one's flesh. Emet-Selch: Yet convenient though it may be, transforming in the presence of others is considered vainglorious in the extreme. As uncouth and unseemly as running about robeless. Shameful. Emet-Selch: Am I to understand you make a habit of this? Hermes: N-Nothing of the sort. It's just that, when transformed, I can wield the wind and fly. Hermes: It may seem excessive, but what is our shame next to the lives of these creatures? Hermes: They deserve a chance, and we owe it to them to do all in our power! Emet-Selch: Be that as it may…
What everyone tends to focus on, of course, is his analogy of "running about robeless" and equating that it's the same as nudity. Which makes for funny memeing.
But look again at the actual description of how transforming is seen:
Yet convenient though it may be, transforming in the presence of others is considered vainglorious in the extreme.
"Vainglorious" is the adjective of "Vainglory" which Merriam-Webster defines as "excessive or ostentatious pride especially in one's achievements; vain display or show; vanity."
the "uncouth and unseemly" part isn't so much the nudity part, but the showing off. Visibly boasting about one's power and strength by displaying one's transformed state.
So why the nudity analogy? Well, for one, is it actually discussing nudity, or walking around in outfits/ways that don't conform to societal standards? Ancient society seemed to be striving for an egalitarian system, which their magics made easy enough, though there's still stratification of some kind (based on peoples' roles). But the robes and masks are an attempt to produce a visual equality among members with variable magical skill (and that would otherwise be seen via those transformations if they indulged in them). It's about the conformity (for better or worse) to community.
The other reason I can think for that analogy is how common Ancient Greek inspired words and names in Amaurot's world are. And what many people also equate to Ancient Greece, aside from the tales of the Olympians, is the myriad artwork, often in various forms of athletic bodies in competition, whether war or sports. While there's plenty of fully clothed/armored imagery, classic nudes are common imagery in popular culture and not even in a sexual way; they're showing off their prowess as athletes and warriors.
(The third possible reason is Emet-Selch has ever been a Dramatic Bitch Like That and tends to the theatrical in his wording, even at his most traditional and conservative.)
Emet-Selch's concern about Hermes transforming is because it's considered bad manners to just transform on a whim--because it would indicate he's a boastful show off, or reliant on his transformed state, or otherwise cavalier about societal norms--which however one reads the line about transformations, would, from Emet-Selch's view, be a bad look for a potential member of the Convocation!
And the poor charybdis observer is all too aware that a member of the Convocation is standing right there, boss! Even if this is something Hermes does at times in extreme cases to aid their creations in his role as chief, this is not the best time to break out the transformation, even for the sake of a troubled creature.
And of course we do eventually see Hermes in his transformed state, and just how capable he is at manipulating wind magics in it.
In the end, the question of transforming for something as simple as the charybdis's struggles strikes me as yet another indicator, despite his mentor's nomination, that Hermes was not Convocation material despite his role as Elpis's chief; his shaken state post-Ktisis would be seen as a reaction to the "accident", and he likely knew how to mask (in the social emotional sense) and give the right answers despite his own depression and doubts. And with none but Venat remembering what else happened in those days at the facility, he managed to obtain the role anyway, now that he believed his Meteion project to have failed.

What's your impact on others✨🌺
Hello everyone!! So I'm back again, after a huge period of isolation lol! (Thanks to my 12th house stellium) yes, I didn't uploaded any posts from so long, like almost from a month, but I'm back again, with the same energy and enthusiasm! And now let's see, what's your impact on others!
Disclaimer
It's solely based on my intuition
Take what resonates and leave what doesn't
Tarot cards only shows energies available to you:)
English is not my first language
🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
So let's get started!!
Pile 1!
Hii pile 1! Welcome to your reading! Let's see what's your impact on others:)
Cards:- 8op,knoc,death
Okay pile 1. Ig your impact on others are everlasting. with the death cards, ig you give an impression to others, that you're a very reliable, and like someone who be with them in the time of storms. Oh I was seeing Sofia the first yesterday, and like I'm getting reminded of that episode where they we're horse riding. Basically, what happened is that Sofia wants to horse ride as well, but everyone around her, was like "it's not the thing for princesses, horse riding is only made for prince" but she anyhow rebelled the status quo, and did the horse riding anyway, and like her parents also supported her, and in the end, she was the one, who won the competition! And so, Idk but maybe it can be a significant thing for you. Yes, it is significant because, see we have death here, which shows change, like transformation, and she exactly did that, and ig, that's how you impact others, you have a really thing with rebelliousness. You seem to be in you always, not in a bad way like selfish or something, but like keeping things to yourself, working on yourself, and just lifing life in general, more then anything like someone has "live and let live" philosophy like the way, he is fixing his 2op, and the 6op are already fixed which is the energy of harmony, and ig it's more of a inside thing of you, and that creates very much richness inside you, just like a dark chocolate I heard (don't hate me, if you don't like dark chocolate 😂) but that creates a very lasting impact on others that how you're not a shallow or surface level person, but really goes deep, and have really complex yet deep and intriguing personality and mindset. I hope it makes sense:)
Tumblr media
Pile 2!
Hii pile 2! And welcome to your reading, let's see pile no.2 what's your impact on others.
Cards:- 6op, the fool, the lovers
It's funny that we had 80p, in pile 1, where I was saying that he's fixing the 2op, while the 6op is already fixed, and that's the inner thing for them. And yeah that's true for you to some extent as well, but ig, in pile1 the man was constantly working on that, while keeping aside that 60p energies aside for a while, but you, you use that energies, I almost feel like very lightweight energies, very mother Teresa, quan yin vibes you guys🌈 don't why, but people can sense that loving energies from you, like it's quite prominent. Ig you're a very Libra/leo person. You don't have to, but these 2 wear their heart on sleeves and so you're lol, I love how loving and freeing you're. The impact you make on others is so loving and freeing almost like you won't judge them for just being them:)) and that's the most wonderful aspect of yours pile 2! It's feels so love and light! When someone wrongs you, you let them go at their own place, and guess what? They get their karma instantly. Because you're very quick to forgive others. And yeah you forgive others for yourself, because holding grudges especially for you, can be so draining almost. You love every one, the concept of oneness is something really very significant for you!! You love animals, plants, insects, and humans, like everyone and everything, even the low vibrational things, like you hold a soft spot for them,bcz yk they have their own purpose as well. Really unbiased omg pile 2! God bless you! :))
Tumblr media
Pile 3!
Hii pile 3! Welcome to your reading! Let's see what impact you have on others!
Cards:- the hermit, aop, poc, aos
I was like shuffling tarot cards, and instead of asking the question, I keep on saying, "hii pile 3" I was like LoL? You're very connected to yourself, and you show your authentic self, you don't fear what others will think of you. You're like an ever learning student, and people can sense that very basic energies from you. Yk where (ik people nowadays overthink a lot but listen me out) you maybe do your mundane tasks very consciously and it seem to others as tho, you live in the very moment, maybe you're like childish as well as wise both at the same time, it's like old soul with a child mind LoL, I hope it makes sense, but it's what I'm channeling. You can be very introverted to or like not be very opened to others, but once you get open, it's all or nothing, I'm like getting a character in my mind, where she looks like very childish to others, but she had so many walls up, and only certain people have access to her energy or else, she won't even talk with them. And maybe that's how you're personality is like? And you give an impression of like a flower, or like I heard a late bloomer? That someone has to be really patient with you, until you really bloom, and it's on the imperfectly perfect timing ( ig it's because I think nothing is perfect but just imperfectly perfect, like think of a galaxy, how it's so mesmerizing but it's not perfect?) And that's how you like, but there's a hope to everyone, that you'll open up with them one day:))
Tumblr media
Pile 4!
Hii pile 4! Welcome to your reading! Let's see pile 4 what's your impact on others.
Cards:- 2op,4os,the empress
There is a motherly quality to you, that others really admire about you. It's like you're much more mature in your age. Maybe you talk very sweetly and gently yet maturely. We have 2,3,4? It's like progression, and you're progressing, and others can see it, and that what deeply impact people. regardless of your age you feel like a comfort zone for people,maybe you made them feel so seen, and so heard as well? Becz of the 2op, I see that you can manage listening and making people feel seen very greatly. It's like you're almost perfect in communicating and listening, so like you're a whole package! I think you have almost like this psychic ability, or special skill, that like make people feel very comforted. With the 4os, it's like people can tell you their darkest secrets and you'll keep them forever. You're like a mum friend of group almost. It's possible that maybe you take a great care of others, and yourself as well. Especially of your energies? And so, you also know very well how to manage it and stuff like that. I hope you're getting what I'm channeling about. Bcz rn, like I have so many distractions outside, so I'm almost having a hard time channeling 😅 and I don't have any other option rn. Well anyways, in general you're very comforting, a mum friend, a good listener and almost get a psychic sense of others of how they're feeling and stuff:))
Tumblr media
Yeah my starilians! Here's the reading! I hope you find it enjoying and resonating!! Thank you very much for putting in your time and effort here!!❤️<33 love y'all!

Reactions to Chaos Creator's Chapter 288
Brief summary: CH and Clopeh had a talk instead of a duel. Cale arrived at the emperor's palace.
==========
This chapter was so good! 🥰🥰🥰 I expected that the two would fight, but they only conversed. Nevertheless, their conversation revealed a lot about what kind of person Clopeh was.
CH believed that Clopeh was unsuited to be a guardian knight. Clopeh followed the path of a shadow, but a guardian knight must walk at the forefront. For CH, Lock would be a better guardian knight than Clopeh. But Clopeh's rebuttal left him speechless.
-What if a very strong enemy appears in front of Cale? Will you lay down your life to save Cale? But if you save Cale, the others will die. Raon and the kittens. Mary, Rosalyn, Tasha, and Lock. But if you don't save Cale, the others can be saved. What will you do?
My goodness, Clopeh asks questions that hit hard, especially for CH. Both knew that whatever the choice, Cale would be hurt. CH was hesitant, but Clopeh was not.
-I don't care if you all die, I don't care if I die, I don't care if my family dies. Of course, Cale-nim would be sad if all of his companions were killed. That's the kind of person he is. That is why he has the qualities of a great hero. So I will not turn my sword against Cale-nim's allies. But you and Cale-nim. Me and Cale-nim. If I could only save one of you, it would definitely be Cale-nim.
Clopeh-nim!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰 He's really going all-in on Cale even if he loses everything else.
"Choi Han. Do you think you are a knight?" A knight. For some reason, Choi Han couldn't open his mouth easily. No answer came easily to him. Clopeh's eyes were like a green swamp. A swamp so deep that once you were dragged in, you couldn't get out. And they were filled with an intense longing. It was a desperate longing for something. Clopeh said in a nonchalant tone. "I think I am a knight." Even if he became a shadow and acted like an assassin. He never forgot that he had started out as a knight. He lived as a knight. "And do you know what a knight means?" Knighthood meant different things to different people. And for Clopeh. "For me, it's a conviction." For him, chivalry is conviction. "A knight must never compromise his conviction." Therefore, a knight who compromises his conviction was useless, and should not compromise his conviction. "And my conviction is-" Choi Han seemed to know what Clopeh's conviction might be. Clopeh spoke calmly. My conviction is, "Cale-nim." Choi Han felt like he was losing strength. He couldn't help but stare into those deep green eyes. The knight named Clopeh spoke. "His path is my conviction." Cale's path is my conviction, my reason for being a knight. Clopeh could say that without the slightest hesitation. That is why he would die for Cale, and he would do anything to save him.
KYAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! Clopeh-nim, you're as awesome and crazy as always! ❤️❤️❤️ 🤣🤣🤣 Google Translate used the word "belief", but I stuck with DeepL's translation of "conviction" because it was better. After all, a conviction is a strong belief, and what Clopeh expressed was his strong belief for Cale.
And thus, CH could not help but acknowledge that Clopeh deserved to be Cale's guardian knight. Clopeh passed CH's test. But CH warned Clopeh that if he lost his conviction, he would kill Clopeh. And Clopeh was fine with that. It was funny that the two called each other as a "crazy bastard" though. 😂
Ending Remarks As a Clopeh fan, I love this chapter so much~! I would like to see a duel, but delving into Clopeh's thoughts and conviction was also good. Next chapter would be Cale meeting with the emperor again. Expect lots of scamming and DA showing off his power.

How much do I need to pay for some more aang and suki shenanigans?
same girl!!! their friendship (that is almost entirely hypothetical and mostly exists in my head) is soo important to me i just know they’re best friends. like obviously the fact that suki is close with appa and momo already signifies a lot about the nature of their relationship, but they barely interact throughout the show, which makes sense considering that suki is mostly there to supplement sokka’s character and all her other interactions with the gaang are fairly limited (katara and suki friendship though….. also deeply important. to me). but as the most emotionally healthy, stable, self-possessed, and just straight up cool members of the gaang, i just know they’d get along like a house on fire.
i think suki would pretty quickly come to see aang as a little brother figure the same way sokka does, and suki would be the big sister he never had in return. and they definitely get into all kinds of little adventures together after the war, like aang telling suki about the cactus juice incident and suki immediately being like “omg we NEED to try that (don’t tell sokka and katara)”, or going around helping rebuild villages and relocate displaced peoples together, or pranking each other in increasingly crazier ways.
oh yes the aang and suki prank war is very real (toph and katara have a concurrent prank war going on of course; zuko who is far too sensitive & gullible, and sokka who is far too anxious, refuse to be caught in the crosshairs of either of these conflicts). it starts at the western air temple and ends when both of them are dead. everyone on kyoshi island genuinely worships aang like a god and so they think suki is absolutely fucking insane for putting cactus juice in his smoothie right before he’s supposed to deliver a big speech, but she’s just like “no it’s gonna be so fucking funny, just trust me.” (and it is.)
the “putting a “snake” in your sleeping bag and humiliating you in front of your almost boyfriend and his hot dad -> reading katara a really bad poem and then claiming that aang wrote it for her -> loosening the bedframe in your bedroom on ember island so that it crashes during sex (the point at which aang learned NEVER to make sokka collateral damage in these escapades) -> making the whole gaang sit through a colonialist propaganda play just because you know it’ll piss aang off -> putting hot sauce in your red face paint so that it stings and burns your eyelids so bad throughout the entirety of zuko’s coronation day -> nearly causing an international incident because you straight up endangered the life of the avatar” pipeline is so fucking real you guys.
and for what it’s worth, a lot of people assume that aang and suki actually hate each other, and that’s why they’re so invested in this prank war. but they love each other deeply, and that’s evident whenever they’re not in the middle of concocting a nefarious revenge plot, like when they go for long walks together, or just sit and chill outside, or cook together, or any other one of the many other activities they enjoy in each other’s company. they don’t hold grudges either. the pranking is fun for them because they’re both secure enough in themselves to understand that it’s being done out a shared sense of joy and whimsy, and not out of any desire to genuinely antagonize the other. to be fair, sometimes their pranks do actually go too far in various ways, but again, no hard feelings. it’s just a testament to the skill of the pranker, and an invitation for the other to step up their game.

WAIT i also want a polin au where the featherington sisters have a close relationship, maybe because they all understand what it means to be all daughters of a less than popular barony. With a neglectful dad and a mom putting pressure on all of them, they turn to each other to confide their worries and stuff. It’s just an overall sweet relationship. They don’t show affection in public, since their Mama tells them it was unbecoming to show affection in public. Portia loves her daughters very much, she just has some issues regarding showing affection.
They all probably figured out that Pen is LW, with their relationship being so close, it was easy to figure out who LW is. They didn’t confront or stop her, mostly because they saw how much pride and fun Pen is having with it.
Prudence and Philippa, as the two oldest, dotes on and are protective of Pen (Felicity too if we wanted), because they understand that Pen loves deeply. They can see it through her actions, her kindness and her people pleasing (i.e. her relationship with Eloise). That’s why they’re so concerned when they noticed how much Pen adores Colin, and subtly discourage her from holding those feelings. They know the Bridgertons are bad news to them. They all might be part of the Ton, but they’re different compared to their families.
Prudence always watches Pen and Colin like a hawk, which is kind of why she’s not really married yet. She wants to make sure that Colin doesn’t do any funny business to Pen. So when Pen confesses about what she heard Colin say at their ball and (and also confesses about Eloise and the LW business), Prudence was livid. Was about to march into Bridgerton house and everything. But Philippa, the voice of reason, points out that they don’t have any power compared to the Bridgertons. So Prudence doesn’t and instead starts scheming on how to best protect their little sister.
They also say little lies to Portia, just so Pen can finally wear what she likes. Portia finally gives their opinions some value, since they’re married women at this point. They know Pen hates her clothes, and finally not being under their mother’s thumb, they can finally help Pen in some way.
Anyway, the next season, Pru and Pip finally decides to show just how close they are. Finally married (and recruiting their husbands into being protective of Pen), they do everything they can to run interference whenever Pen is about to have some time with Eloise and Colin.
What they don’t realize, is that Pen is also greatly adored by the Bridgertons, and so clearly wished and expected Pen to join them soon (once Colin pulls his head out of ass LMAO) so they also try to interfere when Pru and Pip tries to take Pen out of talking with Colin.
Honestly, i just want a Prudence and Anthony stand off as both the eldest Featherington sibling and the eldest Bridgerton sibling. I think it would be funny.

I’m obsessed with this show and fear a hyperfixation anyways here are my thoughts on every character in the show
Edwin Paine: forever my favorite, even back before the show when I read the comics! I think it’s funny that basically every man in the show wants him? I’m intrigued by his character arc throughout the story regarding his sexuality as despite dying in 1916, he seems to have had time to slowly become more accepting of gay people (I’m guessing in part due to Charles, who is pansexual), to the point where there’s only mild internalized homophobia if at all, which just exhibits itself in him denying any possible feelings for Monty. I love how face-value and logical he is while still being a sweetheart
Charles Rowland: he has a pan flag pin on his jacket which confuses me bc can ghosts only wear clothes they would’ve worn when they were alive, or how do ghost clothes work? Because he died in 1989 and I’m near positive he didn’t wear that pin back there. Anyways I do love him but I wonder about some design choices, like the one earring (not sure why it just kinda annoys me). That was more a rant abt his design than his character, which I have nothing notable to say abt since I LOVE HIM he’s so real
Crystal Palace: sometimes she was a bit annoying the way she was trying way too hard to pry into everyone’s lives, but honestly that was just momentary annoyance since nothing could make me hate her. I love how her past was slowly revealed (as someone who already knew it from the comics) and how she came to terms with the person she used to be vs the person she is now. She’s so cool!
David the demon: honestly kind of caught me off guard at first bc the person I’m dating is named David but I actually enjoyed his character. LOVED when Crystal dealt with him in the end. He was very interesting
Niko Sasaki: I love Niko, but I have some problems with her character. First of all, I feel like ditsy anime-loving cutesy Asian girl with dyed hair is a weirdly common trope? But whatever my main issue is that it feels like characters who normalize the fetishization of gay men are so common. Like if Niko had been a guy obsessed with lesbian manga evb would be weirded out, so why is it different? If we ignore all of this tho I absolutely adore her and I’m actually praying she’s in the next season bc she was one of my favorites (esp her relationship w Edwin)
Jenny: She is so hot and cool and funny I’m in love with her
Esther: oh my god words cannot come close to describing how much I love her character. She felt powerless and weak in the past and now she’s become obsessed with making sure nobody has that power over her ever again. She was so fun and I loved her attitude! I’m sure she won’t show up next season, as she was the main antagonist of s1, and while I love her, I kind of hope she doesn’t since I think her arc was finished.
Monty: His personality was like 2020 “soft boy” who acts nice and dumb but is lowkey a manipulator. So obviously this kind of made me like ☠️ bc why is he acting like that… but I still love him to bits because he’s just a crow guys he didn’t ask to be human,, Anyways yeah his personality annoys me but also I love him so much so? It’s confusing. ITS COMPLICATED. I will cry if he’s not in s2
Kingham and Litty: I honestly thought they were annoying but I can’t lie they were so fucking funny. Every time they were on screen I laughed.
Cat King: oh my god. He is so camp. I love him. There’s honestly not much to say he is simply iconic. Love how he’s afraid to be alone so chases after other people, he’s so real AGHH I love him
Night Nurse: Ruth Connell the woman you are… 😍 she reminds me of Muriel from Good Omens, in a way, and I love her! I really hope we get to see more of her in relation to the guy in the fish, and see her get to better understand human emotions and why they choose to cling onto the human world rather than pass on!

Ok, how come the love square in the pv which we BARELY HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON, seems more fun and interesting than anything in miraculous?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I mean, what do you rather, a Sakura & Sasuke style relationship except you Sakura is actually likeable and you actually root for her, and while being funny, you can also clearly see development, as felix starts to actually enjoy Bridgette's company, just not in a romantic way, and we watch as both of them develop and improve each other, bridgette by giving Felix happiness helping him enjoy stuff and stand up to his dad, and Felix helps bridgette by showing that sadness is a normal feeling and that she doesn't need to be happy all the time, and that she doesn't have to help everyone. giving an actual reason for bridgette to fall in love with him, just making it even more heart breaking when Felix rejects her cause he's in love with ladybug,
OR
Marinette falls in love with Adrien cause he helped her one day, and proceeds to stalk and overly obseses with him to a point of getting lots of people akumatized just to be with him, Adrien doesn't really change cause he's already perfect, and Marinette helps him stand to his dad once, and by hell him stand up I mean she said don't let him push you so much, he stands up, and his dad accepts it, no conflict what so ever.
Again, WHY THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THOSE PEOPLE-

Only Boo! Ep 4 Stray Thoughts
Last week, Kang tried to discourage Moo from spending all of his time with him and to focus on his studies. However, Moo has a crush and is flirting relentlessly, to the point that he pulled both of them into nasty pond water. We left at Moo confessing directly during a sponge bath hug.
Moo is so funny. He's not gonna let this man pretend that hug wasn't intentional.
I like Moo. He went to the person he thought would be Kang's girlfriend, and then immediately brought her onto his side.
I respect Kang for resisting. He has good and bad reasons that are all valid.
EP 4: IF YOU LIKE HIM, FLIRT WITH HIM🥂
Why is the mom so prickly about Kang possibly caring about Moo?
What in the How To Be A Normal Person by TJ Klune is this flirting guide?
Suddenly Book.
I agree with Shone, we should continue to berate Moo about spending all of his money on a bike.
I do like the reminder that Book is in his mid-20s, and is a senior to these boys.
I feel so bad for Payos. This crush is painful to watch.
Neth is a lot of fun. I'm glad Milk is having a good time.
This child just broke the fourth wall to call me single!!!
Moo is charming and earnest; a good combination.
I cannot stand how quickly people pull out phones to record each other.
I like the little scene where Moo helps the other dancers. We need a moment for them to turn.
It's kinda cool how committed this show is to including the teachers doing their jobs to keep Moo on task.
That's right, girls. Hit 'em up, style.
Mom down! I've had enough of parent health scares!
The gay boys are finally bonding.
I'm gonna need Potae to realize how much Payos loves him soon.
Kang you are convincing no one when you wash his smelly jacket.
Mixed feelings about the first kiss being a fantasy sequence. I'm glad for the confirmation that Kang is receptive to the advances, but this always feels like a cop out to me.
I hope they do something more work with Book..we haven't even seen Louis yet. It's clear they're building to some sort of entertainment future for Moo, so I'm curious how that will progress.

It gets talked about a lot but I still can't stop nerding out about Link's characterization in TotK. It's done through his many creative dialogue choices and his expressions of course, but it's also done so subtly through what he *doesn't* say. Notably, he doesn't talk about himself. And this is why nobody recognizes him unless they've already met him. Because he doesn't tell them when they've got the wrong impression of him.
The meme about Link having Tony Hawk syndrome is so real. People will look at him and straight up say, "Wow, you look exactly like Link!" without a hint of irony. Lookout Landing has a detailed picture of his face in their watchtower and the search party still doesn't recognize him. Penn works with Link for a long time and thinks he's unlucky that the Yiga keep "mistaking" him for the Hero (granted, Traysi asked him to deliberately keep quiet, but Penn still didn't put two and two together himself). I think the reason for this, aside from it being really, really funny, is that Link just doesn't talk about himself. He doesn't feel the need to.
Characterization isn't just about what we see a character doing, it's also about how other characters respond to them. Link is so unassuming and humble that he doesn't match people's expectations of what "Link" should be like. The three Gerudo ladies hanging out around Outskirt Stable are one of many perfect examples. Link stands in front of them carrying the Master Sword, but they expect the Hero to be taller than they are, with a giant glowing sword, so they don’t believe it's him. Obviously that's not the reality, but they don't know that. Link doesn't correct them, either. Again, he doesn't feel the need to.
This is also why many NPCs from BotW don't recognize or remember Link. To them, he was just a passerby that did them a good turn once 6+ years ago. Nobody's going to remember a person like that for so long after. They had no way of knowing he was the Hero, unless it came up for story quest reasons. When they hear stories about the Princess's Appointed Knight who woke up from his 100 year nap, defeated the Calamity, and rescued Zelda, they imagine someone larger than life. Then when they see what Link actually is like, they can't put two and two together.
This is true even during the Hyrule Restoration efforts. Link always follows behind Zelda as her shadow, which she notes in her diary, but the people in the stable investigation quests and in Hateno don't recognize him either, even though he went everywhere she did. Link is just that unassuming. He resigns himself to being a shadow, allowing Zelda to take the lead and do as she pleases but always staying nearby to support and protect her. He doesn't need to be recognizable to do his job. And we know from both BotW and now TotK that he's wholly devoted to her. He's content with this. Many people more eloquent than I have spent many paragraphs elaborating on this. I just wanted to focus on what it says about his character.
Link is humble and unassuming, so much so that nobody believes that he's the Hero unless they already know him. He's devoted to Zelda, so much so that he's willing to do anything to chase even a glimpse of her. He doesn't talk about himself or correct people who have the wrong impression of him. He doesn't need to do that to chase his Zelda. He is a person of great humility in spite of his station. I think that's so interesting and neat how the comedy of him being unrecognizable also tells us all this about him. It's also cool how this is only one aspect of him; all the dialogue choices and expressions he makes during cutscenes and actions out in the world show a whole other, lighter side to him that meshes with this. It's all so good. I am in love with it. It always kills me inside when people dismiss his characterization as being nonexistant or flat just because it's not spoonfed to them or when they say Link being unrecognizable is lazy writing instead of a deliberate choice. I am biting and gnawing and gnashing over him and his relationship to Zelda. I love them so much.

God I really can't with people on X 😭 No No let it be, shit is too funny tbf🤣🤣 what got me wheezing is the fact that "good fans" feel the urgent NEED to include " besties, work husbands, friendship goals" on the pic they're posting like somehow it makes it less gay😭😂 bro we know and we know that you know too, who are you putting up the show for? come off it pleasesss🤭 THE gayest thing you can do is to wear a " totally not homo" shirt with your bestie and walk down the street😂 istg, if I had 0 idea of who those dudes are and just bumped into one of their usual pics with those captions, I'd confidently bet my life on " 💯 homo"
It’s hilarious how it always works with them, isn’t it? Ladies will post a PR pic where the man looks like he is having a mental breakdown and they scream how much love and devotion they see and oh my god mom and dad and omg couple goals and omg this and that.
DT/MS appear being genuinely fucking sweet - oh haha. WORK husbands. They love each other PLATONICALLY. Such FRIENDSHIP. Besties! It’s like a disclaimer at this point that just means “please don’t hate me”. I have never witnessed a fandom who’d have the celebs tell them they’re in love, love each other, compliment each other constantly, call each other partner, boyfriend, husband… never said anything about being just friends etc etc… and the fandom would hetero-wash them. Fucking incredible.
At this stage things are so obvious that people choosing to not see them and instead lash out and shove them in a closet… they really should ask themselves why they’re doing it.

hii~ can I ask for yandere vil schoenheit with P, G, O, E?) but this time with a rebellious angel mc who doesn't like to follow rules dkbdks that would be all tenkiuuu <33
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Exposed: How much of their heart do they bare to their darling? How vulnerable are they when it comes to their darling?
His darling has his heart and he express it with his words and actions. He is devoted to them and love only them, so he can let his barriers down for a while. If only for a brief moment. Doesn't matter how much he loves you, he is always a little on guard around you and everyone else since he grown up in front of the cameras.
Oppression: How many rights would they take away from their darling?
He doesn't really take them away. But he does make you feel guilty through his words, leaving a stinging feeling right at the bottom of your stomach as you rethink what you did wrong and why you're so sad at seeing him being disappointed.
*・゜゚ Game: Is this a game to them? How much would they enjoy watching their darling try to escape?
Of course not. His feelings and intentions are very serious and well thought out. If he like you then he is going to show somehow, he pampers you, take you along with him to his photoshoots and let you be a little rebellious mess. Though when he says it's enough then it's enough! This whole thing is not a game and he wouldn't treat it as one. He likes to talk with you about your boundaries and stuff like this, trying always to found common ground for a peaceful relationship.
*・゜゚ Patience: How patient are they with their darling?
You know how he treats Epel? Yeah, that's pretty much how he treats you when you're being difficult. Though he is more patient and tolerant with you, trying to gently explain to you why he act or do something. He find your rebellious tendencies funny but not when it comes to the rules and conditions he imposed on you.

Assigning Disney songs and small analysis on why to Wondershow pairings!!
(boycott Disney literally please never stop. Pirate EVERYTHING they have FUCK Disney they're literally the worst EVILL evil corporation it's not even funny. but their stories and songs are iconic unfortunately)
Ruikasa: I See The Light (Tangled)
It's a song about discovering what it means to dream, and realizing how much your world has changed so drastically after the right person enters your life.
"All these years, chasing down a daydream. All those days, living in a blur. All that time, never truly seeing things the way they were"
TELL ME. TELL ME THAT ISN'T TSUKASA PRE-WXS. Him NOT knowing what he's doing, striving for a blurry dream he's stumbling to achieve. BEFORE MEETING WXS, in this specific case, Rui.
"All at once, everything looks different, now that I see you"
How Rui's entire view of friendship and life in general changed the moment Tsukasa officially invites and begs him back into the group. Hear me OUT.
Nenekasa: A Whole New World (Aladdin)
A song of one person showing and exposing the other to a new and exciting world, one filled with wonder.
Tsukasa pulled Nene out of her shell, and basically challenged her. While all her friends are her stepping stone, it's Tsukasa that pushed her into the world of stardom. A world she so desperately wants to achieve.
He's a competition to her, a friend, and also a motivation to keep getting better. She overcomes a lot of her fears with her rivalry of sorts with him, wanting to be an equal and improve just as much. She's brought to the spotlight, indirectly because of him. A whole new world she's just introduced to.
"A dazzling place I never knew. But when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear, that now I'm in a whole new world with you"
THE TWO STARS OF WONDERSHOW. IN THE SKIES TOGETHER.
Emurui: Love is an open door (Frozen)
Ok, I know this is TECHNICALLY a manipulative and villain song, BUT NOT TO ME IN THIS CONTEXT. Just two, absolutely silly doofuses goofing around and being equally stupid.
I don't have much logical explanation for this except for silly and also it matches their vibes SOO WELL. With Emu thinking nearly as insanely as Rui, and both of them being whimsical in nature. It makes the
"I mean it's crazy"
"What?"
"We finish each other's s-"
"sandwiches!!"
"That's what I was gonna say!"
More so their brainwave being THAT goofy and in line with each other rather than a manipulative tactic the song was trying to do.
"I never met someone who thinks so much like me!"
YEAHHHHHH
I don't have the energy to keep analysing right now but I'll drop the other two and explain later if I don't forget and die.
Ruinene: Something There (Beauty and the Beast)
Emukasa: I DONT KNOW I DESPERATELY TRIED IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS SHARE I LOVE EMUKASA BUT I WAS DYING.
Emunene: I won't say I'm in Love (Hercules) ORR THE LESBIAN ANTHEM Kiss The Girl (The Little Mermaid)

Had a funny thought, how would teagan react if yn first reaction when meeting again was to kiss them and say they missed them, just a crazy thought, but I want to know their reaction
Haha oh boy! That would certainly be a sight to see! The poor thing would nearly have a heart attack as a result. Teagan would probably be stunned and rendered speechless (for the first time in their life if we're being honest). Once they somehow collected themselves they would grab onto your arms, not enough to hurt yo, but tight enough to keep you from going anywhere. They'd ask if you were being serious right now and why the hell did you run away and block them if you missed them?! Of course they wouldn't wait for your answer and begin showering you in desperate kisses. They'd probably get so wrapped up in making up for lost time they'd end up shoving you into a wall or onto the floor to deepen the make out session. Once they were satisfied, or you finally pushed them off, they'd pout and immediately start scolding you for ghosting them and leaving them behind. How could you do that to them? Sure, you might have been "mad" at them, but that was no excuse to go no contact for the past few months! Regardless of what reason you give, they would convince themselves that it was all just a test. You were testing them to see how much they loved you and how far they would go for you, and they were completely right to stalk track you down and show you just how much they love you. It goes without saying that they would refuse to let you out of their sights after that.
