Yeah okay the toxic yaoi can have a genuine moment of happiness and love and care BUT ONLY IF there's an impending sense of dread and doom over the whole thing. Like everything could and will go wrong at any second

Kill Orin and take her Netherstone. Find me in my office upstairs when it's done.

I can relate to the divorce thing so much

It's so much more fun to ponder on why a relationship will fail rather than succeed

Incredibly funny opening sentence to this ask

But HONESTLY. Like yeah okay I'll indulge in a little fluff here and there for the haha sillies but it is way more interesting to consider all the possible things that could tear those bastards apart. Be it their own flaws or something Else forcing them to split. Unbelievable potential for 1 million angsty AUs where terrible horrible things happen.

.........I believe I may be biased as a tragedy enjoyer who likes writing arguments but REGARDLESS . I don't want to see these guys kissing I want to see them divorce. Thank you and god bless

I like my women a lil bratty, somewhat morally ambiguous, and teetering on the brink of a victim complex and I say this with nothing but love in my heart‼️

they all happen to be in positions of power too I hope this doesn’t awaken anything in me🧎🏻‍♀️

and yes I know that they were responsible for bad things but have you considered this? I love them😭

“Murong Lian and Yue Chenqing duo moments that made me giggle like the corpse of Miss Cui”

—————

and a bonus Yue Chenqing moment:

As a sidenote, can we talk about how Murong Lian’s name is made up of the same characters from Mu Qing, Qi Rong and Xie Lian’s names? It just occurred to me today and I don’t think I will ever be the same knowing this????

We’ve talked in the past about Julia’s red shirt (in her season 1/season 4 outfit) showing her sympathy towards Carmen. What about other parts of her outfits?

First, to contrast with the red shirt peeking through her dark pantsuit, we have Julia’s ACME suit.

[ID : two cropped screenshots from the 2019 show Carmen Sandiego. The first one shows Julia Argent on the train in India, in her dark suit with red shirt outfit. The second one shows Julia in Rio de Janeiro, in her ACME suit. End ID]

The ACME suits, being uniforms, are all the same (the biggest difference being skirts for the women vs pants for the men), the same way the agents are asked for uniformity, conformity and following orders.

The suits have no color apart from a navy so dark it’s close to black - in fact, depending on the lighting they look almost black and white. Quite like their way of thinking.

[ID : a screenshot from the 2019 show Carmen Sandiego. Agent Zari and Random White Agent stand on either side of a door. They are in the shadows and their uniforms look dark and desaturated. End ID]

As I noted on a previous post, at the same time Julia receives her suit and as such lets go of her red shirt, she is asked to renounce her feelings that Carmen is innocent. Season 2, where she almost exclusively wears the ACME uniform, is the one where Julia briefly doubts Carmen and struggles to reconcile following her superior’s orders with her convictions. Ultimately, when she does not manage it, she resigns (season 3) and as such goes back to her red shirt outfit. It is in that outfit that she teams up with Carmen in a substantial way in season 4.

Other agents (and, notably, agent Zari, the most featured ACME agent apart from Julia and Chase) tend to wear black gloves. In line with their behavior, this suggests keeping a distance with their environment, refusing to feel things too deeply. Julia doesn’t wear gloves, however, not even in Stockholm where the weather would definitely justify it. Despite Chief's insistance, Julia keeps paying attention to her feelings.

Then, Julia’s glasses. Her glasses in seasons 2-3 are ACME regulation eyewear : once again, they’re part of the uniform, so the same model as the other ACME agents. Big, bulky, they’re almost rectangle in shape, all sharp angles : this suggests rigidity and an absence of flexibility in ACME’s mentality. Also note the dark lenses : they symbolically obscure the vision.

[ID : a screenshot from the 2019 show Carmen Sandiego. In Indonesia, Zari and Random White Agent stand against the sky. Their glasses' lenses are noticeably very dark. End ID]

And what about Julia’s original glasses, the ones she wears before joining ACME and those she returns to as she leaves ? They are the exact opposite of the ACME glasses : round and clear, what you need to look at the world as it is.
