Netflix: suggests Ronja the Robber's Daughter show based on the old Swedish Novel by Astrid Lindgren
Me: "Oh, my God! That is so cool that a little bit of Scandinavian literature has come to Netflix!"
Netflix show: one of the cast members is black
Me: "Okay, slightly unrealistic since this takes place in the early middle ages in Sweden, but it doesn't really affect the story so whatever*
Netflix show: Ronja has blonde hair
Me: "... ok, now you're just trying to make me mad."

Fun fact! I saw a picture of cloud wearing Vincent’s cape (kh) before I learned anything else about ff7 and was expecting Vincent to die the entire fucking game
I was pretty sure the whole Cloud outfit in Kh is a nod to his friends that didn’t make it when the world fell into darkness… and then I remember Tifa rolls into Radiant Garden to kick walls and politely ask where Cloud went so maybe I’m wrong.
Though with the KH lore implying that Sephiroth is “the darkness in Cloud’s heart” maybe his more… dramatic outfit is a nod to that… don’t even get me started on the wing and the implications of that I beg

anyway: last thing about the fox.
I think the order in which the team reacts to frank fielding* hurting himself is pretty interesting.
Gideon and Morgan are first, simply because they're the ones closest.
Hotch and Elle are next, with Elle a little behind...
But when it comes to actually restraining Frank, Elle, who is still new and less experienced, lingers behind. If you watch the scene carefully, she actually backs away, too.
And finally, Reid stands at the very back. He enters the room but doesn't go any further, and the camera pans down to show him rocking back and forth on his feet, like he can't decide if he wants to run into or out of the room. I think it's possible that Diana self-harmed at some point in the past (although granted, the self-harm in this scene is a different "type") and he may have been having some unpleasant memories.
*the brother of one of the victims, who goes to her house despite her husband not wanting him there, is seen by her through the window, and thinks she mouths "go away" at him when she actually mouths "help me"

I swear to god allocishet people will never understand how sometimes you have to assume the worst about people.
Because from what i understand JK Rowling got the transgender charity mermaids shut down (or close to shutting down) because it advised young trans people on what to do to alleviate their dysphoria without letting their parents know.
And everyone is in uproar about “how can you keep things about people’s own children a secret?????????!?!?!”
Well sometimes you have to because of the possibility that their parents will react badly to their child being trans. You have to assume that child is in an unsafe environment and can’t afford to come out because if you tell their parents and they react really badly then it’s your fault.
It’s far safer to assume that the kid can’t come out than out someone or the kid comes out in an unsafe environment and possibly gets kicked out/gets hurt because of it.
Its safer and easier to keep it a secret and come out if/when you’re in a safe environment and get a good reaction rather than tell the kid’s parents and get that kid hurt.
Sure someday i hope queer/trans kids don’t have to come out, but in our current society you have to take the correct precautions when coming out just in case there’s a bad reaction.

Replying to @fantasyinvader’s post mentionning how Linhardt and Hanneman are more interested in - especially if you don’t poach them - science than leading the people, or even, the people themselves, I wanted to make a post about Lin’s support with Catherine, which is played as a “for science!” support where Cat is amazed at his dedication to research stuff...
But it has those ominous lines :
But to continue my research without taking this chance to know the truth—what would be the point?
Besides ignorance can breed even greater dangers.
Linhardt wants to know “the Truth” and says ignorance breeds dangers... Which is a reasonable point to make, but this is immediately followed by this :
For example, do you know for whom Thunderbrand was originally crafted?
We’re talking about the “truth” hidden about the relics - which is more dangerous, ignorance or people who know “the truth”??
The goddess.
Catherine replies with an argument of authority, most likely the only Rhea thought would make most people stop thinking too much about the hows of Relics and drop the topic...
But not Linhardt!
Correct. And because of that, everyone just stops thinking about it.
Yes, that’s the point.
No one really knows what the Relic is made of, how it was crafted, or what its very structure may be.
Until we know those things and truly understand the power and the danger Relics hold...
We won't be able to...gain any new knowledge. I'm tired of talking.
^^^^
This, this is the reason why that secret was made, and the truth hidden! And while those are, say, reasonable questions to have about “magic weapons”, bear in mind Linhardt’s natural route - i.e. where he isn’t poached - with Catherine is SS, where we later learn Nemesis got “more power” from the corpses of the Nabateans...
(Which can be tied to the WoH and Willy’s war, as depicted in Houses, as he “crushed people who wanted more power”, are we talking about people who knew where and how Nemesis got his shinies and wanted more shinies?)
Linhardt will have this new “knowledge”, but what will he do with that knowledge? What are going to be the consequences? Should that truth be revealed? Would he try to kill a Nabatean to test a theory about Relic making?
This support touches one of the themes completely eluded by the game about Truth and if it should always be shared with the World, or if some truths should be hidden to protect some people -
SS!Linhardt is someone sensible (sort of, he also has this line against SS’s final boss “Well, that's something, isn't it? A shame we must kill her. Consider the research potential...“...) who wouldn’t skin Flayn alive to see if her bones can really be used to make a relic...
But unrecruited Linhardt or even CF!Linhardt doesn’t give a fuck about being sensible or not, fights alongside Baldo’n’Waldi, which raises an entire can of worms, can we really believe Linhardt, who’s passioned by Crests and their applications, would just roll with Baldo’n’Waldi popping up as Crests Beasts, heck, when some of the War Assets are artificially engineered by the Empire, who also makes artificial Crest Stones? Wouldn’t Linhardt try to, idk, know how those “things” are made, and oversee researches himself?
He has the common sense to spare Indech, by not rattling him to Supreme Leader and Hubert in CF, but is it because Indech has no interest for him in CF, so he doesn’t want the battlefield to become more “bothersome” since it’s useless to kill him, or for some reason, wanted to spare him because he’s still the same guy who’s afraid of blood and hates bloodshed, but when it came to Baldo’n’Waldi he cannot give any fucks?
