I'm just thinking about your points about Penny and dehumanization and the heroes essentially taking decisions away from Penny while trying to protect her. Penny and Winter don't interact until Penny passes the Maiden powers to Winter in Volume 8. But in 7 - the last time they see each other - Winter buys time for Penny to make her decision with Fria. Which I think puts a neat layer into Penny ultimately saving Winter in the Winter versus Ironwood fight.
You can read Penny being puppeteered as a continuation of the dehumanization and how Atlas treats individuals. And she never really has a chance to fight that personally. The whole Cinder blowing up the evac plan happens first. But Peny being the tipping point with Winter versus Ironwood, especially in the reading that they were both baring the weight together... The thing is it is very very hard to get out of bad situations solo. And Penny did get someone out. I hope this makes sense
what always gets to me is. winter panics when penny rescues her ("what are you doing?! my life doesn't matter!") because it puts fria and the staff in jeopardy. and then not five minutes later she makes what is clearly a conscious, deliberate choice to step back and let fria choose penny as her heir, throwing herself in between them and cinder with her aura still depleted, against ironwood's orders. it's such an important moment bc it reveals that winter absolutely meant what she told penny earlier about wrestling with her feelings because she values her humanity—winter is not mindlessly following orders or blindly self-sacrificial, but she is willing to die for what she believes is right.
(winter is also the reason we know fria's name, because she makes a point of saying fria instead of calling her the winter maiden. which is the moment her break from ironwood becomes narratively inevitable, that rejection of fria's dehumanization)
i think the way penny frames the situation to jaune is really revealing of her perspective on… everything that's happened to her since she became the maiden. in her eyes it snatched away what little autonomy she had; ironwood and the ace-ops pulled out all the stops to manipulate and then outright control her, and all of her friends collectively decided that the maiden power was too valuable and too vulnerable for penny to do anything except go hide somewhere they hoped salem couldn't follow. everyone puts so much emphasis and importance on the magic that when penny is being eaten alive by watts' virus she considers the situation in terms of "i can make sure the powers go to [ruby]."
so when cinder fatally wounds her--and penny recognizes that there isn't enough time to heal her (& there isn't, he had less than sixty seconds before cinder had weiss disarmed on the ground)… "let me choose this one thing."
it's weiss, or winter, or cinder. if jaune hesitates or ignores what penny tells him, cinder kills weiss and then him and then claims the power for herself; if he mercy-kills penny now, penny can make sure the power goes to weiss so that weiss can get herself and jaune out alive…
…or she can give it to winter, her best friend. who for all she knows is already in vacuo right now, as penny has no way of knowing that ironwood is free or that winter is in danger.
in many ways, winter is the wrong choice in that moment; weiss and jaune are in danger, cinder has both relics, and without the magic weiss doesn't stand a chance. winter is not here, and penny has no idea where she is--or even if she's still alive!--so the pragmatic choice, the "correct" decision, the thing she "needed" to do, was make sure the magic went to weiss.
penny's whole arc in atlas is about the unreconcilable conflict between what she needs to do and what she wants to do, and in the end--forced by horrible circumstances to make a binary choice--she chooses to do what she wants. to follow her heart. to think of her friend. to take a small moment of peace and happiness for herself by saying goodbye to someone she loves very dearly.
and that's the moment of triumph over ironwood, who saw his own humanity as his greatest weakness!! penny choosing to do something for herself, because it's what she wants. in coldly rational terms it was the wrong choice, but thematically it was the right thing for penny to do--the human thing--so it saves not only winter but also weiss and jaune, too (although both of them do fall, because penny took a risk and a central theme of V8 is that risks don't always turn out for the best).
it's such a well-constructed tragedy. and it's thematically so important that penny choosing her friend over her 'duty' is the only reason winter survives, bc that final battle between ironwood and winter symbolizes the ideological conflict of the atlas arc--is human feeling strength, or is it weakness? has he made hard but necessary choices or has he sacrificed everyone and everything that truly mattered?--so of course penny's humanity is his undoing.

something about the sentiment of "no matter how far apart we are, we'll be looking at the same stars" not being applicable in episode 33 because anthy is in the planetarium looking at fake ones while utena is under the real stars in akio's car. something about how the emotional distance between them has never been greater.

Ginko smells like moss and smoke and morning dew send tweet.
anon your opinion is correct. he smells like oakmoss and tobacco and maybe a bit of cedar: green, woody, and earthy; and when it rains, the petrichor clings to him. he smells like the smoke of his herbal cigarettes but not like a cooking fire: always like the forest and never like the towns he only stays in for a day or two—almost like the forest can never let him go. (or is it the other way around?)

It is almost 2 am and my brain has just latched on to the concept of Colin and Jamie in the football kiddos au. They haven’t even met yet, but I am so excited for the dynamic for no reason at all. The potential. Baby Colin and even babier Jamie, running circles in my brain.
WAUUUUGHH i am so excited for baby colin and even babier jamie to meet you have no idea. it's like. they meet playing footie in the park and jamie is trying to play rough and unfair because That's What He's Been Taught and meanwhile colin is like. a foot taller than him and just doing his best not to hurt this small baby and freaking out because why! is! he! so! aggressive! and then roy and trent break them up and jamie gets very upset so colin goes and gives him the football and teaches him how to do penalty kicks until he calms down.
the adults are In Awe. and afraid of what forces they've brought together. jamie is just anxiously excited because Friend? Is This What Having a Friend Is? Do I Have a Friend??
(they make friendship bracelets together. jamie has a friend.)

Okay so, this gif from the opening cutscene from Pokémon Black and White is giving me THOUGHTS
Tumblr media
Like, is it just me, or does N, with those Team Plasma elder cleric dudes behind him carrying his cape, look like he’s being held by his arms as if he’s being taken hostage? Because in a way he kind of is…?
I’ve only just noticed it and FRICC
i can’t really tell but like maybe… maybe… thematically it would be so tasty… like i know he chose to do this (bc they tricked him) but also the idea that like. literally what other choice did he have. he was taken in by ghetsis and molded to become the perfect puppet even if he has real dreams and ideals of his own he never had any control over his life
