Like every other show I watched this year because it sounded fun and ridiculous, the heart and beauty of it made me weep more than once and resonated deeply with me.

It's fun and entertaining but also, it's simply beautiful. It looks its premise in the eye and takes it seriously in the best way. Not to the point of it feeling overdramatic, but instead it slowly welcomes you into a world where penguins and panthers become humans, it makes the jokes you expect, the silly shenanigans. And after it knows you are someone that can live in this world, it drops a bit of the silly mask and goes, “well now, lets talk. Let's talk about growing up. About how scary the world is. About how hard it is being a human. About how terrible it would be facing this world alone. Its tough right? But is okay, we will keep laughing while we talk”.

Bye loves. I'll miss you a lot. Hope you enjoy being a human, even when it's tough. It's been a pleasure seeing you grow up.

love in the big city was quite literally everything i could have hoped for and more. it truly understood that deep set loneliness that can latch its claws into you and eat you alive, both from the angle of being queer and also just being human and trying desperately to find your place in life. so much of it hit home in a way that left me raw. it did not shy away from the queer experience, and displayed everything in a breathtaking and unapologetic manner. what an incredibly cathartic journey.

What I love most about Black Doves is how charmingly dumb and bad at their jobs both our protagonists are. It’s sweeter still to learn that Ben Whishaw’s boyfriend is also an astoundingly dumb romantic and I love that the lingering mystery is if Keira Knightly’s dead boyfriend is the 4th lovesteuck dumbass or running the easiest seduction con in history.

The first rule of espionage is to get super easily emotionally entangled and lose all self-preservation whenever you get so much as a crush! Obviously! That’s why we recruit people with deep, sucking maws where a human heart should be, as any sensible spy ring does. Such a good show!

Love how quickly Gwen swung to "damn yeah we're going to have to re-kill this woman in order to bring her back to life" even wilder that it worked

Looks like Armand finally gave Daniel that cure for Parkinson's that he asked for back in Season One. How thoughtful of him!

So skeleton crew, eh?

the "funny-kids-adventure" is going to be the star wars story that finally handles the whole disability/inclusion/ableism theme in a realistic and touching and realistic way? "She doesn't have the patience for it" is such a gut punch! To feel like you are lesser even for your best (only) friend, always having to be useful and do as they say... Or even just.. not be a burden. Because "sometimes her augs just get bad but she's fine" seems attentive, but actually she is not fine! She needs maintenance! But because the able-bodied don't need as much time to recover or as much rest or a more intense maintenance, they wouldn't even think about it - because she has always been finde shortly after it... Because if I am not ok and fun and capable and joyful and the very best I can be then I might not be the first choice to hang around anymore.. or even any choice at all

But also "I don't have spider legs like you" just right after that - and the realization that maybe I am not as good a friend as I thought I was and maybe all the talk about how "you're not different, you're better" might just be a toxic pile of positivity that is just not helpful - because we are different from each other and it is important to see all the differences to see as assets, but also to see and address the challenges that brings.. because "you can't just tell me I am amazing and can do it and then I magically can!" That's not how this works.. and why do I have to do all the work anyways? I am amazing at adaptation because I have to be, not because I want to! It's exhausting and I wish I wish so hard that for once the responsibility would not be on my tiny little shoulders!

I came for the cute elephant and the day-dreaming jedi-wannabe and I fell in love with the self-sufficient rebel biker and her tech-savy girlfriend, but I stayed for the heart wrenching realization that the world is a dark place and your sheltered upbringing cannot shield you forever because ignorance is not in fact bliss and why do some kids have to fight every day when their home is supposed to be the same as ours and why are we not helping them and instead isolating ourselves and sitting on a dragon hoards worth of credits while the galaxy is once again falling into ruin, just like we have witnessed in the past and just like then we just do nothing about it and let the droids and the supervisors control our lives.. and I know our parents love us and only want what's best for us, but how can we live under in this "perfect" bubble this wonderfully boring and ordered world with stable lives and jobs and nothing to worry about, when there is adventure outside? And how could we just seek out adventure when there is all this suffering and these worlds and people who could live so much better if not for the pirates and Mega-Corps and the looming dark forces of totalitarian terror and their darwinistic capitalistic selfishness and exploitation

Ugh I am not feeling normal about this
