#“frida you're so funny”

[gay-edwardian]

Is she actually hilarious or am I just a lesbian?

[wandapinkay]

OK so I watched the first episode of the new Clone High I don't understand the initial fuss about it, it was hilarious I'm sure it's because I have shitty humor and laugh at everything but that's beside the point

Leah’s always gossiping😭 she’s so funny. Would love a little fic of Leah and reader just on the bench and Leah is just full on gossiping to reader while your trying to focus on the game. Eventually getting pulled into Leah’s gossip

gossip II l.williamson

you watched with pride as your girlfriend jogged over to the sidelines, smacking her palm against laia's and clapping the catalonian on the back who raced across the pitch to take her place.

you waited patiently as leah greeted the coaching staff, shaking hands and having a quick word with the defensive head and pointing out a few things as he slid over to speak with jonas and leah made her way down the line of subs, fist bumping each girl as she went.

"hello bench warmer." the blonde teased with a grin, quickly pecking your lips and dropping down onto the grass in front of you, waving off frida's offer to move down a seat so your girlfriend could sit beside you.

"charming as ever darling." you sighed with a smile, handing her a recovery shake as she shuffled back slightly to lean against your legs, patting your knee affectionately.

as she locked into a conversation with alessia who was sat on your other side you zoned out a little, chin resting on your fist and watching the game.

"babe!" you glanced down as leah shook your leg, raising an eyebrow. "do you remember the florist? the one down the street from that bakery we like?" leah questioned as you smiled.

"lee we can gossip all you want on the drive home, watch the game." you laughed quietly, knowing the blondes tendencies far too well as she huffed and turned back to speak with alessia.

arsenal had a two goal lead but you knew even if there was only twenty minutes left that anything could happen, which is why you paid little attention to your girlfriends stories.

though you could tell she was getting into them given the way her hands darted about as she spoke making you smile fondly as alessia and now kyra hung off the older girls every word, also now clearly invested into her tales.

"leah!" you whined shoving her shoulder as your girlfriend pinched your inner thigh, having tapped you a few times and getting no response. "i called your name nicely first! space cadet." her hand reached up to poke at your cheek as you pushed it away and sat back properly.

"you know the girl from the bakery we like yeah? the one who always slips us extra pastries when the boss isn't in, olivia? olive? i think its olivia." leah again tried to draw you in as you shook your head.

"you're a terrible gossip williamson, watch the girls! and you, stop encouraging her less!" you warned the grinning blonde beside you who shrugged, kyras head popping over her shoulder matching her eagerness. "why? she's a great story teller!" the australian defended as leah hit your knee with a happy smirk and you rolled your eyes.

"stop yapping and support your teammates! all three of you." you warned a little more sternly, the younger girls beside you deflating somewhat as leah rolled her eyes but turned around to face the pitch, sipping at her shake.

but once the beverage was finished it failed to serve as a distraction, leah growing restless and leaning over to tap alessia's knee and you sighed as within seconds both her and kyra were once more hanging off your girlfriends every syllable.

"-the florist!" you only caught the last of your girlfriends sentence, drawn into the conversation by the loud gasps of shock from the younger girls beside you and even frida who leah seemed to have sucked in now too.

"wait what?" you questioned with a frown, clearly having missed the build up as you watched manu make a diving save and breathed a sigh of relief.

"well well well. look who wants in on the gossip train!" leah smirked as you rolled your eyes and shook your head, ignoring her and instead turning back to the game. "whatever." you rolled your eyes stubbornly, focusing on the pitch again but feeling leahs eyes bore up into you.

"fine! you've twisted my arm, i'll tell you." leah tapped your thigh to gain your attention back as you couldn't help but be amused by her obvious enthusiasm. "back to my original question, you know the florist-" leah began tracking backward as you nodded.

"the one near the bakery we like, i do. what about him?" you frowned as leah huffed. "bubba theres layers to this story, don't interrupt!" the blonde warned sternly wagging a finger at you as you shoved alessia who giggled.

"well the florist. so he's married yeah? he has that photo of his wife and kid on the counter, and he always has that gold wedding band on. i remember because its got his wives initials carved into it which is quite cute, or maybe its their kids initials?" leah frowned, pausing as you again nodded though this time wordlessly.

"anyway not important. well i went in to see him on tuesday, remember i got you that huge bouquet and brought you breakfast in bed and then we had second bre-" you hurried to cover her mouth as the tips of your ears flushed red.

"leah what we do in the bedroom is private!" you hissed in warning for the words which you'd stopped before they fell. "we already heard about it when she told us the story." kyra piped up cheekily as you groaned and removed your hand, shrinking a little in embarrassment.

"anyway. well i went in on tuesday and no wedding band, no picture." leah continued on completely ignoring your reaction, pulling your hand away and kissing your knuckles sweetly before letting go.

"which is weird right? but then i also went to the bakery because as we both know their bread is the very best bread for a ham sandwich. so i went in to get a loaf and i noticed there was a different woman serving, not olivia or olive whatever her name is who usually always works on tuesdays." leahs eyes narrowed as you hummed to show you were listening.

"so i subtly asked, more so joked really, about where she was. turns out she's on maternity leave? i didn't even notice she was pregnant but apparently she's due in a few weeks!" leah scoffed in disbelief as you frowned, also not having picked up on that throughout the many months you and leah had frequented the bakery.

"so while i was waiting for the bread, and i won't lie babe i did get a croissant and finish it before i got home so you wouldn't know." leah smiled apologetically as you shoved her head with a playful roll of your eyes.

"but this is the scandal of it all. so i overheard one of the bakers on the phone and it turns out that-" leah was cut off as cheers errupted around meadow park, the final whistle blowing signalling the game was over and arsenal had indeed reigned victorious.

you waited patiently for leah to finish, watching as she placed her palms on your knees and used them to help her push up to her feet before holding out her hands to help you up.

"turns out that..." you trailed off eagerly with wide eyes as the rest of the girls began to jog out onto the pitch to congratulate everyone and greet the fans.

"i'll tell you later. come on gorgeous!" leah kissed your cheek and wandered off after lia as your jaw dropped. "what happened?" you grabbed alessia with wide eyes who shrugged. "its leahs story! i'll probably miss details and tell it wrong." the blonde tugged her hands away and followed after kyra as you groaned.

"leah!" you huffed in annoyance, hurrying after her and hating how much she'd peaked your curiousity.

"leah you can't leave it there, finish the story!" you whined catching up to her as lia just smiled in amusement not even needing to know the context as your girlfriend just tutted and slung an arm over your shoulder, kissing your cheek again with a grin.

"nah we can gossip all you want on the drive home, right baby?"

Flag

Frida Maanum x Emma Lennartsson x Child!Reader

Summary: Frida gets a surprise

There's something about the atmosphere at Borehamwood that Frida likes. Maybe it's the pitch or the changing room or something else. But, secretly, Frida thinks it's the fans.

They turn out in droves, filling the stands and lining up for hours to get in.

The fans are perfect and the signs are funny too.

Frida likes the flags the best though. It's not often that she sees a Norwegian flag in the stands. Plenty of English flags and Ireland flags too (Katie seems to have a never ending amount of fans from Ireland flying over just to see her play).

It's always a nice day to see a Norwegian flag in the crowd. They don't even have to be the big ones hanging over the railings or the ones that fans would give her to wear around her shoulders.

Any flag, big or small, was always welcome to see in the stands.

Frida thinks they make her play better. She sees it and she almost always scores a goal or assists someone else's.

Just like today.

She'd spotted it in the second half, a little handheld flag being waved over by the seated area. She thinks a kid is holding it but it's too far away to properly see.

But the ball was at her feet and then suddenly it was in the back of the net and, as Frida celebrated, she knew it was seeing her flag that got her through it all.

She sees the flag again when the match is over, waving back and forth.

She follows the flag to a little hand. The hand to an arm. The arm to an Arsenal shirt. The Arsenal shirt up to two chubby little cheeks and those chubby cheeks to a very familiar face.

Frida's moving again before anyone can stop her. Stina tries to talk to her but Frida doesn't wait. She's not meant to hop the barrier but she does.

She takes the steps two at a time before reaching the little girl with the flag, crushing her into a hug.

"Hi, Mama," You whisper against her.

"Hi, squishy," Frida says to you. She lifts her head up to rest her chin on your head, looking at Emma. "Hi."

"Hello," Emma chuckles," Good surprise?"

"The best surprise."

Frida releases you but you don't move, happy to curl into her body.

"Did you see my flag, Mama?" You ask," I bought it just for you!"

"I did see it, squish," Frida says. One arm wraps around you again while the other reaches out for Emma. "I scored that goal for you, you know."

You giggle. "Silly, Mama. You don't know we were here!"

"But I saw your flag," Frida insists," And that made me score my goal. Thank you, squish."

You smile at her, a big smile that has Frida raining kisses down on your face. "It was a good goal, Mama. Mummy was very happy."

Emma's face goes a little red at that but Frida doesn't care about teasing her right now, more than happy with you in one arm and Emma's hand in her own.

"I'm glad," Frida says, looking down at you again," I'm glad my girls are happy."

"I'm always happy to see you, Mama!"

She isn't quite sure why but Frida chokes a little, trying to force down her tears so you don't notice but you do.

"Mama," You say," You're crying."

"Happy tears, squish," She assures you," I am very happy that you and Mummy decided to surprise me."

"We woke up very early," You say to her," And then we got on a plane."

"It's been a long day," Emma agrees. She draws you away from Frida and you go willingly. "Go and get changed and we'll head home."

"Come with me," Frida blurts out.

"Home?" Emma asks in amusement," I assumed we were already doing that."

"No, I mean to the locker room. I don't think I can cope being separated now."

Emma bounces you on her knee. "Would you like that, squish? Going into the locker room with Mama?"

You nod, head bobbing up and down. "Yes, please."

Emma gets up and settles you on her hip so you're comfortable. She keeps her fingers threaded with Frida's as she's guided through the halls and into the locker room.

Most of the girls have already come in so Frida's one of the last and everyone stares when she leads you and Emma in.

You've met the Arsenal girls before but you're not too familiar with them because you live in Sweden with Mummy most of the time, going with her to practice at Linköping.

So, you get put in Mama's cubby as she changes. She makes silly faces at you while Mummy talks to a few people she knows.

Mama was wearing a red Arsenal shirt like yours. She always gets you a new one whenever the new kit launches so you can match.

You don't see Mama in person a lot because her life is in England but she always calls every night to read you your bedtime story. She does all the voice correctly and she always makes you laugh.

You like that you get to have your favourite stories read to you in person tonight.

"Ready to go, squish?" Mama asks.

"Yes, Mama. We going home now?"

Frida beams at you. "Yes, we're going home."

you were actually kind of oblivious to his advances

you thought he was just being nice by giving you a reading / teaching you about astrology

he'd always somehow find you just at the right time so you could escape your little dead boy detectives + crystal & niko

gonna be honest, you need a break sometimes. it's hard

but you loved going on little late night adventures with him and trying new food and rollerskating with him

but you did catch on to his feelings after he had to literally spell it out for you

you reference inside jokes ALL THE TIME and charles/edwin/crystal/niko never understand

then you remember "oh I have to explain this" when they give you a confused look

you love looking at funny tiktoks together

and cringe ones that deserve a restraining order

you're basically commentary youtubers atp

you make him bracelets as well, whether they be kandi or string or whatever

[neutrallyobsessed]

If you were to ship Topher with someone other than Joan who’d be your second choice?

MEEEEE!!!!!!!!! :3333333333 but thats probably not the answer that you're looking for so let me pull out the graph hmmmm

soooo looking at it like this, seems like Jackie could be my second option, they do look good and evil togheter x3♥

the quotes there are part of the latam dub, since there's no way to translate the "blackmail/white-leveraging" and keep the joke, he says he has "European Privilige" while also saying he's into american women specifically? i see no reason to change that but i like it a lot and now i think he'd be into any woman born within all the American continent, including Mexican Frida, Argentine Evita and Bolivian Azurduy uwu

then, you see, my mom thinks that RL!Columbus fucked Queen Isabel real good to get his voyages funded so shipping Topher with other clones of queens could be really funny, including Mary who apperantly is Elizabeth I or Tudor who is the ASC character so yeah

i was meant to do like, a board with fictional women i think he'd be into but never really got around to do it. I just know that it could include, since he is a 2D cartoon character, a good amount of live action women, at least 3D animated women? anyways Carolina Peleritti as Cybersix could totally be his waifu number one indeed!

no boys, of course, beyond that we dont do that on this blog, Topher's heterosexuality is actually super duper important to his characterization, i cannot and will not compromise that!

hey wait a minute- im not the second option, im the FIRST option, I go First and second Joan, u got dat?? you ALMOST pulled a switcharoo on me dear anon but i was able to notice it just in time heheheh~~

[autumnalfallingleaves]

Could I ask for some Frilda fics recommendations? I'm brain rot over them since last friday night and I need more Frilda content! I would appreciate anything Frilda-related, really.

Also, do you know if there is any kind of Frilda fest or fic exchange or anything like that?

Thanks a lot in advance!!! :D

I don't know of any fests or exchanges sadly (though I would love to participate in some...) but here are some recs!

Put them under a cut to conserve space :P

Building a Better Cabinet of Curiosities by BlackEyedGirl-- Future Fic, Pre-Slash, finished

Summary:

Frida looks up from her cataloguing slowly, eyes taking in bright red boots all the way up to wild blue hair. Having Hilda descend upon you unexpectedly is just as startling at twenty-one as it was at eleven, and just as wonderful.

This one is very sweet, with 21-yo Hilda, Frida, and David. Hilda and Frida try and educate the residents of Trolberg on the actual history of spirits and trolls, not just what prejudice wrought.

-

The Trolberg Chat by SunsetCorvid-- Chatfic, unfinished

Summary:

Kaisa: well anyways Kaisa: which one of you checked out Homestuck from the library Hilda: WHAT Hilda: THERE'S HOMESTUCK IN THE LIBRARY??!?!!? Kaisa: yes Kaisa: sadly TW for: Homestuck references /j and some swearing.

Older characters, not exactly focused on Frilda but it's definitely there. The kids are around 14/15 and this fic is so fucking funny.

-

Puppy love is hard to ignore by mandaree1-- Short oneshot, finished

Summary:

Frida has questions about Familiars. Kaisa knows a confused gay child when she sees one.

Sweet little fic on how Frida is afraid of losing Hilda. Kaisa is a good older sister.

-

Mitten Memories by posm_24 (posm24)-- Oneshot, finished

Summary:

Posted on tumblr as @/swaggyotterz24  Johanna and Hilda have a chat about crushes.

I have a bunch of Frilda stuff that I've written, too (I'm CascadingSilver on AO3) if you're interested in any of that (I do a lot of Troll Hilda stuff), and my sideblog @frilda-archive has a fic tag that I try to keep on top of! If you're interested in anything else, just let me know :)

[glitched-username]

★heyllo, it's me erm- it's me again. Sooo, I saw that you are trying to, y'know, figure out 'Frida's' whole vibe and stuff in order to make G/t headcanons for her, erm- (which, I very much would like to read =P /gen!!)

Soo, here's a bit of her personality that based on her trivia, written on the turtle-pedia website

★..ermm, yeah. I think that she would give off a 'stoic giant vibe' ?? I'm not sure, she appeared in the series like, 3 to 4 times ?? I'm not sure, ummm-★

★yeah erm. She is cool. Frida is erm- cool.★

★..m'kay hoped this helped, even a little bit-★

Okokok, I hear you but also when it says "so serious it's funny" it makes me IMMEDIATELY want to make her smaller than biblically accurate Mikey. A super stoic, serious and dangerous giant isn't funny. What IS funny, is a 4 inch tall super serious and stoic turtle who can easily take down something the size of Gus

Plus I'm adopting the idea of her being a bog turtle and those guys ARE smaller than box turtles soooo....

She also seems to be the person Big Mama trusts most with valuable artifacts so the small size would make her incredibly good at spotting an authentic item or if someone is trying to sell her fake ones by eyeing the tiniest of details.

Turns stealth and sneaking up on intruders a breeze

Also this only works if Frida is older than Raph cause the oldest sibling being the tiniest is just 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Raph: Maybe you'll loosen up a bit when you're older like me!

Frida: I'm older than you

Raph: **unable to process how a turtle can be smaller but also older than him**

[mermaidsirennikita]

oh i’m so glad u enjoyed blink twice!! have u done a post reviewing it? i’d love to know ur thoughts on it as well as the debates concerning its trigger warnings/content

I haven't reviewed it, but I can noooow

Re: trigger warnings and contents, I think it was a very good idea for the movie to have its trigger warnings before it began really rolling. I had a pretty idea going into the film that it would have some difficult content, but if I hadn't it would have been very challenging. I'm not someone that I would say is triggered by SA onscreen, exactly, but I can have a tough time with it, that's a big component of Blink Twice. In many ways, I would call it a "rape revenge" movie, which is obviously a fairly famous category in the horror and thriller genres.

That being said, I think this is a successful entry/re-examination, compared to, say, A Promising Young Woman, which I think failed in that regard.

This is in part because Kravitz (who has definitely done some things I'm not a fan of in her off hours... But this was a great directorial debut, and I'm very interested in seeing what she does next) really does examine, imo, race as much as she examines the power men have over women. And that's... important. Because most of these particular revenge movies do center white women and the concept of the pure white womanhood and that specifically being corrupted.

I loved, for example, that Frida was allowed to have a fragility and softness that made her susceptible to Slater. She had a crush on him. Arguably, so did Sarah. It's important that Frida is this, as a friend of mine put it, "indisputably Black" woman (even when Black women are given roles in movies, cinema definitely favors women who look like Zoe Kravitz over women who look like Naomi Ackie—which isn't to say someone who looks like Zoe is at all *not* a Black woman, there are simply people the movie industry prioritizes comparatively). I also think it's important that Adria becomes her ally and the supporting lead, really, ESPECIALLY after their initially combative relationship. This is not the first time that I've seen Naomi or Adria onscreen, and they're just really fabulous actresses. Adria is so funny, Naomi is this huge dramatic talent. They balanced each other out for these roles.

I found the role of "Badass Maid" (that seems official lol, according to IMDB) really compelling. It feels significant that this maid, this marginalized person native to the community who has to work for these marauding white rich guys, is really this key to the awakening.

And again, I'll say.... Kinda shocked at how good Channing was in this. I say this as someone who's seen him in MANY movies, and while I do think he has comedic talent, I definitely haven't ever seen him do this well on a dramatic level. Truly an outside the box role for him, and he was quite, quite scary.

As far as the portrayal of the violence goes... I think it's very important that a lot of it came from the perspective of the women, and while it was INCREDIBLY scary, it did not feel EXPLOITATIVE. We did not actually see a lot of it onscreen, actually. I don't think that it's impossible to portray SA onscreen in a way that isn't exploitative, and I personally have no problem with it being portrayed onscreen sensitively. I think this movie did it correctly.

Here's what I really appreciated, though. There was first the idea Slater had that if you didn't remember it, it was somehow lesser, right? Which was alluded to relating to his own trauma (briefly, and I'm glad we didn't linger on it; that was done right as well). Because that's something I think we're seeing a lot of right now. I mean, how bad could it be if you didn't remember it? Both related to the drugged assaults of people AND the idea that because you don't remember the crime well (often due to a trauma response) maaaaybe it didn't even happen, or you're exaggerating it.

Then it was the big "I'm sorry" repetition. It really seemed to call out our apology culture happening right now. These people (primarily, though not entirely, men) apologize, and if they apologize the right way, we give them another pass. But I would say... nine times out of 10? It's bullshit. Even if they don't think it's bullshit in the moment. We give them a smack on the wrist and send them on their way, and they've learned absolutely nothing other than the fact that an apology will get them where they need to go.

Really stark. Really chilling.

And the ending took it over the top to me. Because so many movies of this kind end on this catharsis. The revenge was enough and she can move on now, OR the revenge was futile and she will always be a shell of herself. This takes a third option. Revenge is not enough. And she will now exploit who exploited her. And she deserves to. The apology wasn't enough. He must be EXTERMINATED.... and ideally, she'll get something from him, too. Delicious!

[bunnyb34r]

So I finally went to the movies again and saw Blink Twice... and I have some Thoughts™️

I'll put spoilers under the cut but tw if you're at all interested in this movie, very very heavy graphic and sexual violence. They even do a TW for sexual assault at the very start of the film and a way for victims to get help. Which is good, but makes me wonder... would they give you a refund?? If you couldnt handle that subject and were like nope not for me! And leave? Bc no where in the trailers (that I've seen) is it indicated that the movie is about that... so...

That aside, I did enjoy pieces of the movie (but overall idk if I liked it. It left me with a sick feeling in my stomach (which is the point))

I liked the color scheme, the repetition of white and blue and the red both being there the whole time but also becoming more and more important as the plot progresses. I think that was cool.

The camerawork made me kinda ill im ngl... that might have been intentional idk.

It was a really interesting movie, one that you kinda gotta sit with after watching. It was a lot sadder than I expected. Funny in parts like the stupid fucking chair, but overall it left me sad. Idk I was expecting more... The Most Dangerous Game and not that™️

Oh and I think the acting and casting was really good too

Spoilers ⬇️

So the main twist honestly made my stomach sink. Idk what I was expecting but god it wasn't that even though I probably should have.

I honestly thought the perfume was made with blood and that thats why the snakes or that they were like draining the victims of blood and making perfume for the men that brought them there.

I really liked how literally everything tied back to some part of the movie, the opening shot making so much more sense, the scar, all of it. That was really clever. Heartbreaking, but clever. I wish they had subtitles or made the "red rabbit" part more clear bc I couldnt understand that until Frida repeated her. That part was so so heartbreaking and clever too. Like when it all makes sense it's like another punch to the gut.

"Theres a special place in hell for people who choose to do nothing" was a good line but also like rich coming from you Slater. Mr Morality over here!

At first I didnt get why she saved him, but nothing would have stopped anyone else who he had previously brought to the island if she killed him. Like they could just fly their themselves and do the same shit again. This way she stops it, but god I dont think I could sleep in the same bed as that man after all that. (And I'm sure that is also a message like trauma affects others differently, the best revenge is success/she's able to manipulate HIM now ect) but I cant help but wonder how the other girl felt (i cant remember her name) ab her MARRYING that man like... the whole girls helping girls speech ect

I do kinda think it's funny how Frida was telling him to "eat his steak" bc he said before he didnt eat red meat, so again she's able to manipulate him even in subtle ways now as revenge.

I think this movie is like either one you only see once or one you see at least twice to digest it all. Personally I could not watch it again knowing what I know now, but I could see someone wanting to see it multiple times to dissect it all.

Oh and I thought it was interesting how Stacy didnt WANT to remember and how "forgetting is a gift" and the reveal of what happened to Slater and his sister. That was sad but interesting, especially since victims of CSA tend to have complex relationships regarding their abusers and how some go on to do what was done to them bc of their trauma. That was sad but a very interesting plot point

I'll probably have more to tack on later but yeah that was... that was something.

[shippyboi]

Final thoughts on season 3,

Spoilers ahead but here is my rating of the season, spoiler free

7.5/10. I actually liked it a lot. A few things bothered me but overall a good season with mostly good cast development

Well Despite me thinking the kahlopatra breakup was going to be horrific, it was deserved. I actually really like Cleo AND Frida's development. And they are obviously getting bsck together. I mean cmon "i know enough people" hand hold. They're so back 😭.

And Confuscious/Joan is genuinely super sweet. Their kiss in the bus. I felt real chemistry. And joanfk fans don't stone me, but it's on par to me with Joan and JFK's moment in the og season. Speakinh of JFK, I'm enjoying his struggle with who he is. Sure it's kinda fuckin silly but him wanting more than just being a piece of ass is funny and engaging.

Now. Here are my less positives: I liked the bleacher creatures but they got zero to no development, which i can overlook since introduction season. However, I think Joan throwing them under the bus is fucked up. Like man, I get it they're outcasts but they did have your back while everyone else left you in the damn dust cmon now.

I don't like them just kinda, ignoring Topher's previous crush on Joan and him being sexist? Like, i know Topher got a grand total of like, four lines 💀 but it felt lazy.

Abe was a pain in the ass, still self centered and still only worried about getting his ween wet. Though, his friendship with JFK is nice, but it's still very. Weird. JFK did fuckup in that friend context too, but in his case he's self discovering and Abe just wants him to do what Abe wants for his own sake. I know he comes around by the end but i still dislike it, generally.

The whole Mary and Abe and Joan conflict. BOOOOOO. Listen, I am not the biggest Joan fan, I like her enough, but Joan was right. In that entire context. Also pushing Joan/Abe. BOOOOO. like seriously bro, she saved your sad pathetic life and i wish she hadn't because if you're stupid enough to know if you fuck Mary, you die, and still want it. Then just give the man what he fuckin wants.

I had a love/hate with Scudworth's backstory. I also wasn't razzed at how Joan was hated for the first half, It felt excessive i guess?

Even though I bitched, a lot. I still actually love the season. It had strong ass moments that made up for stuff that is kinda always in clone high. Like joan/abe has been like this since the dawn of time, Abe has always been an annoying bastard.

But they developed the cast. Especially Cleo and Frida. I genuinely love both their development. As well as Confucius! Harriet had a bit of a mixed bag. Also the stuff with the guys name I can't spell was fuckin stupid. But her and Joan acknowledging their faults and still being friends? I mean that's nice. It is.

So those are my thoughts on Clone High season 3. It was good. Maybe not what everyone wanted but hell I liked it.

El wiwiws 🥺 what do you two do when you're not playing? Do you have classes or such?

"When we're not playing, we have school! Sister Frida is so smart! Though she's a little scary when punishing bad kids!"

"We also see the older kids handle work like Shepherding, gardening, or running into town for food."

"I'm really good at reading! But I'm bad at Math... Numbers are hard...!"

"I am great at history, but I suck at art. Usually I let Pearce do it."

"Oh! And we do sermons and practice hymns for God! But we call him Alu. What a funny name!"

I see what is the issue about Spanish accents. I understand Spanish but I’m not fluent enough to distinguish accents however my friend whose mother tongue is Spanish finds it ever so amusing when Omar and Carmen have a talk in Spanish because their accents are so different. It destroys the realism of the scene, where a son presumably learned the language from the mother. Now imagine Frida throwing in a Spaniard or Argentinian accent in the same household (Frida’s Spanish is basic according to her resume and her having worked in Barcelona brings no advantage at all, people over there speak Catalan anyway)

hahah yes I mentioned this once before in an anon their accents are very different particular carmen's accent is an islander accent and that accent is very pronounced so you just have to giggle when they are speaking in entirely different accents. Also the scene where linda is telling simon about speaking to marcus mom thats when you can totally tell because her accent comes out so hard in that scene. Hahahaha its funny. Also yea frida knowing some basic spain spanish wouldn't translate well into a scene. Spain spanish is low and hard. Latam Spanish is high and singy. Omar is actually very swishy and singy. Also one of my besties lives in Barcelona and everyone knows spanish there its more like will they speak it back out of protest. I will say tho when I speak Spanish in barcelona the locals will speak it back to me. More so because they catch my accent quickly and they are like "oh you're not from around here" so I think out of politeness they dont snap at me for speaking spanish to them. Most of the time they are curious about my accent because central american accents are notorious for being very neutral and hard to place so they always ask where am I from. The difference are very apparent to native speakers.

Frida and Ghandi opinions?

Someone made a fanart of them and I was interested on them

Personally I've only seen like, friendship art, not exactly romantic buuut i imagine you're asking me bout the romantic ship so YEYEYEH!!!!!

I Ship It!!!!!!! 0wU

What made you ship it?

Shorties with cool attitudes and all the flow? Hell yeahh!! They could play off with each other and get along so very well

What are your favorite things about the ship?

THIS COULD BE SO FUNNY GUYS!!!!!! PLSSSS hyperactive x chill! This dynamic is comedy gold, the literal duo for guaranteed and non-stop laughter, silly interactions and the most excellently timed, occurrent, quotable one-liners. Fridandhi is what the new season needed frfr~!

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Reminder to all that neither foster sibling or in-law relationships are incest so calm tf down, the fictional depiction of Frida Kahlo kissing a boy won't kill you.

Fridandhi tastes like: Nachoooos!!!!^^ The spice and crunch on point! Might make some people salty but they're a great casual snack that is fun and cool, plus all dips are so good, you can always found the combination that suits you best!

You're right.

Fortunately, of all the Gods for FCG to fixate on... he picked one of the more decent ones. And I think the Changebringer is someone who wouldn't take advantage of FCG's need to fit in.

However, there is one aspect of what Ashton did with FCG which I think is positive and decent because... he saw Laudna rip FCG apart over FCG's joy of having found someone like himself that he loves. And FCG immediately started to question himself and question what he had and say "I'll ignore it. It's not important."

And that is a lie. It's a lie that ultimately hurts FCG... and Laudna did not mean it, Laudna has been dealing with some intense trauma and grief... and it's kind of funny in that Laudna is now acting very much like FCG did and I could see him calling her out on her hypocrisy.

Except Laudna wasn't yelling at FCG for his love of FRIDA. She was yelling about how her time sucked and she perceived them having a grand old time which is ironic given all the horrible shit that kept happening to Team Wildemount that just got brushed under the rug. And the crazy thing is? No one among Team Wildemount mentioned that FCG almost attacked everyone and that only FRIDA managed to talk him down. And that he's STILL hella stressed out! (Hopefully two days of downtime from having to wait for the staff to recharge will have reduced the stress he's under.)

So, what did Ashton do? "Tell me all about your boyfriend."

He wants FCG to remember FRIDA. He wants FCG to have someone to live for, and not to be all "eyes on the prize" because he knows Laudna is just in a bad place right now. And I would not be at all surprised if we see several times moving forward for Ashton to ask for more details on FRIDA. To remind FCG of FRIDA so that FCG doesn't just "put it aside" but remains having something to live for.

Because yes. Ashton is so very tired of trying to save FCG from himself... and seeing his small friend actually be happy for once? He's overjoyed by this! He loves FCG in his own way like a big brother and he's concerned by FCG's self-destructive tendencies... as we saw during the teleport mishap when Sam deliberately brought FCG to a Killer Bot Moment even with FRIDA by his side. Ashton wants to have FCG be selfish for a change... because that is needed for FCG's mental health. It's something FCG has ignored for a long time.

So... I think it was a good thing.

Going off on a less-related tangent here as is my wont so if you're uninterested in Laudna/Imogen musings, just ignore what's under the cut.

It's like... Laudna couldn't afford the class trip to Spain. Her best friend did, but almost all of her friends left, except for Orym and Ashton and they worked in a miserable McDonalds and the fucking restaurant burned to the ground because one of the employees had a beef with the owner and tried to kill everyone.

And even during that horrible time... Laudna still had some moments of peace and joy and connecting with people. She made friends with Prism (which kind of didn't go well when Prism promptly said Orym was her bestie and didn't the two of them basically beat up that pyro Bor'Dor together?) and had some truly enjoyable moments with Deni$e who insists on that weird symbol in her name. But the memory of Bor'Dor throwing boiling hot grease at everyone and setting things on fire... that's what she remembers most of all.

Meanwhile Imogen and everyone missed their flight and had to wait for a couple of days in the airport until things got figured out and she had no cellphone reception and she just wanted to go home and then they got to Spain! It was wonderful! It was fantastic! And then she got food poisoning and was in the fucking hospital after one day of fun where she got Laudna this really nice corset and some pretty gloves and everyone else had romantic adventures while she was stuck in the hospital with an IV to keep her hydrated.

And Imogen isn't going to tell Laudna that "I was in the hospital the whole time" because Laudna went through hell and during that same time her own hell was just wishing desperately she was home with Laudna and then realizing "I'm in love with her!"

The first moment she got alone with her? She asks for a kiss. And Laudna realizes she is loved. But she already tore into FCG and he's doubting what he has with FRIDA who is going off to college so they're not going to get to talk much and... best to just put it aside. And it's not what Laudna intended. She just had a really sucky time, as did Imogen... and FCG doesn't want to admit that he suffered a really bad panic attack and only barely avoided throwing fists at his friends because FRIDA kissed him and had him do breathing exercises to calm down and yet FCG is still just... stressed and missing FRIDA something fierce.

I'm so happy about Imogen and Laudna but I can't help but feel sad about FCG, and I think I've worked out why.

When we compare what Imogen and Laudna have with FCG and FRIDA, it makes it clear the difference between a long and true love built on friendship and a romance built on infatuation. These two automatons finally met someone they had a bunch in common with and immediately fell in love, Romeo and Juliet style. As in stupid love. Romeo and Juliet were young, dumb and full of daggers. FCG only has a few years of memories and has been blown away by this more put-together version of themself. Suddenly, they were ready to attach all their self worth to this person, to the point where just a bit of attention from FRIDA is enough to distract FCG from their impending breakdown.

And now FRIDA is gone, and they know they have a job to do and need to be fine. They can't afford to let themselves feel abandoned or lonely. They try to downplay their own feelings, try to minimise their pain. That's what they need to do to be useful. Suddenly they are back in the company of the people they care about most in the world, but it's a little colder. Nobody cares about FCG the way FRIDA does. Except, maybe...

Ashton and FCG FINALLY have a one-on-one chat with each other, but while most people seem to be celebrating them supporting each other and being happy for each other, I'm looking at it like

Because Ashton is having a manic episode. I've been there. They are there calling themself worthless, calling themself ineffective. They are trashing themself and swearing to turn over a new leaf, be useful and heroic. They are on a mission, moving so quickly and purposefully that everyone around them seems to be slowing down. Suddenly they are frustrated and disgusted by the same self destructive behaviour that has always been woven into their character. And hating it in themself, they start to hate it reflected in others. Especially FCG, who deserves better, and they've always thought so. But success! FCG is in a loving relationship now. It's different from their weird, co-dependent friendship. Because of course it is. Now surely FCG has a reason to live. And Ashton can finally relax and stop trying to save FCG. They can stop focusing on themselves and focus on the goal. After all, they both feel better now, right?

Right.

FCG, on the other hand, is hearing Ashton go off and feeling happy for them! Because FCG is just as brain broke as Ashton. FCG thinks it's cool and normal to throw yourself into a new lifestyle because you don't like or trust yourself. They just committed themself to the worship of a goddess they barely know! And also the Changebringer!

"I am so tired of saving you from yourself."

What a thing to say to FCG, who is constantly trying to save everyone else. Ashton doesn't mean it in a bad way, they are just not seeing the full picture. They think FCG's slef destructive problems are kinda solved now. FCG has a boyfriend after all.

To be clear, FCG isn't offended either. They would be tired of saving themself too. They are already pretty convinced of their own lack of value, beyond their utility to others. In the future, I think they'll hesitate to tell Ashton when they're not doing well. Because Ashton was so happy when he thought he didn't need to save FCG any more.

They're still close to snapping. They will probably snap soon. We will just need to wait and see what happens when they do.

But what do I know, it's fuckin Sam Riegel, he will probably have FCG double down and become a full blown Gods squad religious nut and still make us cry somehow.
