oh i thought misa’s poll was for third place?
I was under that impression too, but I'm not gonna fight about it y'know? I'm pretty sure it's the finals, but even if it isn't, you know this is the real final in our hearts.
Again, LOVE Misa, girlie was done super dirty, reduced to a sexy dumb ditz when she managed to figure out Kira before L himself, so loyal she gave away years of her life for magic eyes, and treated with contempt and scorn by the narrative for having a crush on a guy who doesn't give a shit about her. I'm not downplaying a scrap of how badly she gets treated in Death Note.
That said... Atom Bomb vs Hydrogen Bombs, y'know?
Bumble's short life is in the background of two books. She's dragged back to a domestic abuser for being a useless fat lady, apologizes for being upset about that on her deathbed, and gets gored just so we'd be sad about her serial woman-thrashing murderer's reputation. Everyone who hurts her is a celebrated hero who was never "truly" bad, their constant violence and contempt towards women excused and justified, her life so worthless she's not even tallied under Tom the Wifebeater's crimes... in a book for 10 - 13 year olds.
Cordy's last season is a DARK, EDGEYY character assassination that made everyone on the set uncomfortable, involving adoptive incest, forced birth, and body possession. When the beloved and long-standing character was killed off unceremoniously, cast members were left to speculate why and blame themselves for years, until Charisma Carpenter came out recently to reveal that everything done to her character was possibly (likely) Joss Whedon trying to hurt her through destroying her most beloved and lucrative role.
Like, Misa's got it bad. Cordy IS, and Bumble SHOULD be, LEGENDARY.

okay so i never read dune but. hear me out
paul insists to chani that he'd love her "as long as he breaths" but by the end of the movie he ends up deciding to marry the emperor's daughter (after painfully repeating that line, too).
and you could argue paul DOES love her then from the way he keeps looking at her during the fight that leads up to that moment, BUT
at the same time, paul doesn't come to her defense when feyd starts being demeaning towards her during the fight. and we have that scene with the princess right afterwards, where paul very easily could have told chani what his plan was so she'd understand he really DID love her
and you know what moment paul veers away from the soft, loving paul we saw the entire beginning of the movie?
after his fake out death, where chani thinks he's not breathing

I saw some people warning people not to be weird when the show comes out if they had a crush on Percy as a kid and are an adult now and I definitely agree but I never had a crush on him. He was always older than me when I read the books so I always saw him as more of a big brother type and that brings a whole different weird situation for me. Obviously an 11 year old can no longer be my, now 24, older brother, but what does that make him now? Would it be weird to adopt him as one of my children? Is he now my YOUNGER brother? Idk what to do now I did not prepare for this

The eyes staring at her, that pained look in her eyes that came from knowing. That is a stranger posing as the young man she feels love for. Chani could do nothing except cry for Paul. Possibly she wept tears for him, mourning the passing of the boy he once was.
They don't cry Fremen they don't waste water, therefore Paul's tears for Jamis touched everyone, which must be the most horrific thing you could do to a fremen is to force them to waste even single drop. Giving water to the dead is not a particularly uncommon practice, despite being regarded as the highest reverence.
Like understand that Chani just found out the man she loves fucking drank the vile from the worm. You see her panic her worry for paul, when she saw him barely responding to her, she thought he was dead and gone.
Then, as Paul is lying there and may even be dead, Stilgar and Jessica continue to talk about the damn prophecy. When Paul opened his eyes, Chani understood that her tear was redundant and that he only required it to illustrate that he is the Mahdi.
