Absolute top tier Trobed detail is how they're both super neurodivergent and clearly have a lot of trouble with various aspects of life, but they help each other compensate and have endless love and patience for each other's struggles.

I'm always thinking about when Troy says that Abed "explains things to me in very simple words because he knows I get confused sometimes" (paraphrased from "Conventions of Time and Space). Troy's spent his whole life being told he's stupid, but Abed helps him understand things he finds difficult without making him feel lesser. When Abed sees the lava in "Geothermal Escapism," Troy understands immediately what that means, and that telling Abed it's not real won't help (because Abed knows it's not real, he knows he's "crazy" for seeing it), instead Troy reacts as if it's real for him too, he finds ways to comfort Abed within his perceived reality. Neither of them ever deny that the other has traits which are seen negatively by most people and which get in the way of functioning sometimes, they just accept these things and help how they can.

I dunno, it's about the unparalleled tenderness of seeing the thing someone hates about themself and choosing to cherish it. Abed thinks he's crazy and Troy thinks he's stupid, but they each see the other as perfect.

Today's unasked for question at midnight: were my friends in high school that interested about my interests or do I just talk too much

Ted and Keeley similarities

the thing is. juno & nureyev's relationship has been such a major guiding thread throughout the podcast and the major drive of season 5, and the fandom has built itself so much (as fandoms often do) around shipping the two of them.

and yet nureyev doesn't show up at all in the last episode! or, he does, but it's only implied (for all we know it could be like. alessandra strong)(i know it's not but it would be really funny) and we don't hear his voice.

and it's so important to me that despite the room that their romance has taken in the plot and in our hearts, his absence reinforces that the point of juno steel's story wasn't a lady getting his man, it was about learning to grow as person for himself and for his friends (and not just his love interest), and it was about finding his footing in life and being at peace with himself and his place in the world. and he did! his growth and relative serenity is so apparent and just. a balm to the soul

and the fact that his man is back is just a nice add-on, not a necessity for his happiness

Alternate AU where Charles makes a sex joke while in Erik’s arms on the beach and Erik stays just because of it (He says “Have you ever tried this one?” [blame Juno by Sabrina Carpenter for this one] while both of them are sobbing and Erik yells “DID YOU JUST MAKE A FUCKING SEX JOKE AFTER BEING SHOT?” and then immediately decides that the fact this man is making sex jokes after being potentially paralyzed makes him love him even more and stays instead of trying to end the human race)

Ok, I don't usually post about these kinds of things, but I think I want to briefly talk about the new Overwatch hero because I've barely seen anyone talk about it yet.

So this is Juno, the newest addition to the Overwatch 2 roster, we currently don't know much about her. Now, don't get me wrong, I think the design is appealing enough, pretty cute even - in a vacuum (hehe), it would be fine. However... if you've been following the development of Overwatch at all and seen the other heroes, especially the female characters, you may see why this design is frustrating to me.

Why yes, it's another conventionally attractive young woman in a skin tight suit, despite being some sort of astronaut. Damn, must be some amazing future tech that allows people to wear space suits that look like body paint and yet still provide protection against radiation, vacuum and extreme temperatures. One could argue that this isn't her full suit and she is just wearing this in-game because combat, but come on. I want to add that having a body like this isn't bad, of course, it's more so the fact that the women in this game are rarely allowed different proportions or facial features.

And yea, I wasn't kidding when I said skin tight.. Certainly she also has movement animations with gratuitous hip-swaying to accompany this certified Blizzard-Moment™ of a design. The animations are cool, but this combo left me stunned when I watched the trailer haha.

The sexualisation part isn't the only thing that bothered me, of course. I actually liked this concept art much more - it provided a bit of bulk and visual interest while still retaining that sleekness that they wanted to have in there.

But for some reason, they stripped her of this, leaving it almost a bit under-designed, especially for Overwatch 2 standards.

All of this is just my opinion, and I want to emphasize that I don't fully hate the design. I'm just lamenting what could have been and the fact that, for a new hero, they just made cute Overwatch girl number 12 again. In the end, they want to market to straight gamer boys so eh, it is what it is.
