this is *maybe* a bit of a stretch but i still find interesting to think about? don't know if i have everything right

but

i feel like with the elemental opposite duos - emma & rikki, cleo & bella - you could reasonably say their arcs'd mirror each other in a way

like

emma and rikki have issues with responsibility/expectations but on opposite ends of the spectrum

emma was a gifted child, everyone had high expectations for her and she tried to meet those expectations the best she could. she’s responsible emma, who makes sure everyone is looked after, and everyone “knew” was going to become a top athlete, because look at all those trophies on her shelf

and then rikki on the other hand, was alone for “her own good.” she admitted to elliot that no one really liked her growing up, so when somebody did, it made her feel weird and she pushed them away. she stayed away from other people, made sure they never had any expectations of her

they both avoided disappointing others, by going to opposite extreme lengths

and then they overcame these issues, with emma facing a sudden change in her life (becoming a mermaid) that meant she had to give up her swimming dreams and disappoint the people in her life (that had to suck for her, honestly.) she had to come to terms with that - but then, she also found a whole new world that she’d never have been a part of, if things had gone the way she planned

and as for rikki - her biggest change wasn't the tail, but becoming friends with emma and cleo. had she'd her way and zane’d never gotten cleo stuck on that boat, she’d never become friends with them. rikki had to learn the hurdles of friendship and of keeping them, like when she mistook the different kinds of fish, when cleo and emma didn't support her relationship with zane, etc. they had their issues - but in the end, they were there for rikki, and rikki was there for them back. she'd have never gotten that kind of solidarity, had things gone the way she thought it would

and then there’s cleo and bella

bella - unfortunately, didn’t have much in terms of development, since the writers prioritized will’s relationship with her over expanding her character background+ for some reason ??

so i'm just mostly going to talk about cleo here first - but i'll get to bella in a second

cleo by s3 is a very confident and self-assured person; but she didn't start out that way. she was insecure, somewhat naive. she grew up overshadowed by her two best friends, the both of them being gifted in their own rights - emma, the young up and rising athlete, and lewis the science genius, they were sure to go places. cleo, on the other hand, was overlooked. she didn't have much going for her - except for adequate grades and a love of the marine life that was hindered by her fear of water

and then cleo became a *literal* mermaid. either she was going to avoid it or overcome it. in the end, she didn't just overcome her fear of water, but she also took a risk by taking that job at the marine park, where she'd be working right by the marine animals. she let her fear control her before, and she wasn't going to let it stop her from wanting to pursue things anymore

(funny, she started out with a fear of water, then became a mermaid. she struggled with her grades, then became a science genius)

bella, much like cleo - had her own issues when it came to the kind of attention she got, but the other way around. her first appearance, she was being catcalled. same ep, nate is drooling over her. they've made her beauty a point throughout s3. even cleo and rikki's brought it up. it. could not have been easy for her to deal with that, especially with her secret in mind

seeing that, even with the different issues when it came to attention, i think they'd still have had the same feelings about it. a younger bella, probably would've been similarly insecure/anxious as cleo had been - until she learned to be more sure about herself and grew into the bella we know and love today

(we should've gotten way more lore and background about bella, agh)

tldr; emma and rikki have same feelings but opposite reactions (people pleasing and people avoiding.) cleo and bella opposite situations but same feelings (overshadowed and center of attention)

yk, rikki was right in a way i think about the "universal law," but like, more about keeping in balance and not about trios. emma and rikki balance each other out, cleo and bella were *meant* to balance each other out. but in s2, bella wasn't there - charlotte was

do i blame the antagonizing of charlotte and cleo's out of characterness on the writers, or do i blame it on some magical semi-canon mermaid universal law about balance

blaming it on a mermaid universal law sounds more fun, and could have interesting implications. (though the writing grates me, still)

donut 🍩💕

You stood in front of him, heart thundering in your chest so much you were certain a rise in body temperature was going to start ruining all your hard work.

Katakuri didn't know what to do. He'd come home after a long day to find you, his sweet, if not reluctant, new bride, naked as far as he could tell, covered in donut glaze, with frosting and sprinkles in strategic places.

He had future sight. He did. But it - everything - was failing his scrambling brain right now. He'd been giving you space since the wedding because he knew it hadn't been what you'd really wanted. Political marriages, even among pirates and their ilk, weren't any easy than those of the nobles.

He'd expected it was going to be at least another couple months before things warmed between the two of you.

"I know that... you like donuts." You say, trying not to sound as unsure as you're starting to feel. "And sweet.... sweet things. I thought, that maybe this would help soothe being forced to marry me."

Years of control is the only thing stopping Katakuri from making the most undignified sound of confusion. Forced to marry you? He'd been glad for it, honestly, but hadn't been sure it was his place to say so.

"I made actual donuts, I can get those-!" You stop as Katakuri kneels down in front of you. You're shorter, being just shy of 11', but not so small as to be incompatible.

He runs a finger across your collarbone, letting the glaze coat it, before bringing it to his lips. His eyes are on you and you can't look away from him.

"It's sweet." He says approvingly, handing keeping you steady as he moves closer to you. "But, I think you're sweeter." He admits, and you can hear the slight shiver in his voice. The concern, the uncertainty, and the desire.

"There's... only one way to be sure."

Go Away, Romeo (chapter 33)

"Is this the face of someone who misses you? I feel nothing but disgust. Besides, who would miss a deceitful deadbeat?"

He tried to stir something in her, remind her of the past but he just spit venom like Reputation Taylor Swift.

hey I don't think I'm active enough anymore for anyone to really notice when I'm away but just in case someone's missing me or something I checked into the loony bin on Monday and they don't have wi-fi so uh. I'm gonna be even less active for a bit. But I'm in the helpy place so like dw :)

George loved charlotte so selflessly....The fact that he didn't want to live with her because he thought he wasn't and couldn't be the type of partner charlotte deserved will always make me emotional. He loved her and wanted to be with her, embrace her, kiss her, tell and show her how much he wanted her but he didn't...He didn't... because he had to do what he believed was best which was putting his feelings and desires aside and pushing her away.

do whatever y'all want, but in my opinion shipping people you have a parasocial relationship with is toxic and unhealthy. you get a glimpse into celebrities lives and that doesn't mean you know them or can know their true personality or what they like.

i say this especially to the bridgerton fandom, who thinks that anyone with chemistry apparently has to have a romantic understanding, instead of being entirely platonic.

i saw so many people "shipping" india and corey when corey has a girlfriend. like yes they have chemistry, but why can't that be friendly and platonic?

obviously i know nothing about their lives, but some people express affection in friendships differently than others. and interpreting their actions in interviews as romantic when you have no idea what goes on in their lives when they are not in front of a camera, is just childish. i know im personally very physically affectionate with my friends, and it has nothing to do with romantic feelings.

it's normal to feel a connection to celebrities and their personalities on screen, but acting like that is real is delusional. keep that shit to yourself.

so stop acting like you know their lives, like they owe you something. they don't. don't pressure people you don't know into admitting something you have no right to know. if you have opinions on people and their relationships, keep that to yourself. because posting shit on the internet DOES in fact have real life consequences, despite what many people believe.

in many ways shonda rhimes’ queen charlotte is the love story of a beautiful woman and her platonic life partner her gay footman…
