#a man can dream...

[jaybejaybeyes]

Remember when the s2 trailers just dropped and some fans were speculating Mel was pregnant with Jayce’s child? Yeah, the wild times. But I wanna confess: although I was somewhat skeptical too, I wasn’t entirely against it. Let me explain.

I get why people were uneasy about it. The fear that Mel would be reduced to a stereotypical damsel in distress, with “mother-to-be” as her only personality trait, was absolutely valid. That was my concern too. But I also had faith that Arcane could tackle this premise without sacrificing Mel’s strength or depth.

And I get it that some people just hate it when stories bring in babies or pregnancies. It’s often handled very badly. Like, cue the overly saccharine, “look how adorable this baby is” moments that make you gag. That’s deffo not what you tune into Arcane for.

But.

If done right, Mel having a child could’ve given such an incredible opportunity for her deeper character study. Think about it: how would her upbringing shape her as a mother? Would she catch herself echoing Ambessa in relation to her own kids in ways she never intended? What insecurities would that stir up? How would she navigate that new life with Noxus watching her family’s every move?

And let’s not forget Jayce. What would he understand — or fail to — about the battles Mel would face in this scenario? Them figuring out that dynamic could’ve been such a rich and emotional journey.

Now, just to be clear: Mel doesn’t have to become a mother to be compelling. But if she did become one, it would’ve offered so many great new insights into her character.

P.S. and don’t even get me started on Jayce as a dad. The man would’ve imploded the first time his mini-me waddled over, said “love you, da”, and kissed him on the cheek. If you can’t handle that visual, you don’t deserve him

Nooooo they're removing people from their own party who don't support their fucking conspiracies

they should keep doing this until only the qanoners are left and then the ousted Republicans start their own 3rd party which makes any victory between the 2 untenable so then we finally get bipartisan support for ranked choice voting at all levels

If I had a gf we would go to prom dressed like this

You know what would fuck actually? Imagine:

S3. They make up again. And Crowley is, nervously, like: "So... Angel... Can I... Kiss... you...?"

And Aziraphale - no hesitation - just grabs him and slams him against the wall and starts basically devouring him

my most extreme kink is feeling wanted. not like sexually or anything but kinda just as a person

pathetic isn’t really a word I‘d use for colin bridgerton. simon rather dying than marrying daphne was pathetic. anthony going through with marrying edwina until SHE mustered the courage to call everything off was pathetic.

colin contemplating his feelings, calling out his male acquaintances for their chauvinism, seeking advice from his mother and then immediately taking action and putting himself out there without even knowing if his feelings are reciprocated is the complete opposite of pathetic. that requires a whole lot of bravery.

Long time since I last did a taxonomy poster! It's nice to do one for a family with less than 20 members.
