#and articulating my thoughts properly

[kev-day]

thinking about kevin growing up in the nest and having to learn defense mechanisms to literally survive but are now the main criticisms his teammates have against him. and no one (besides jean) really know the fully extent of what he went through bc of the public persona and brick wall of self preservation he had to put up.

like he’s an asshole perfectionist about exy bc it was literally beat into him since childhood. running in 16 hour days since who knows how young he was and deprived of food and sleep when a drill was not performed perfectly

the world saw him and riko as brothers but riko was never kind to him. he hated playing the role as second best but it’s how he could make it through each day with one less injury. he was on eggshells nearly every second of the day because he was almost never out of riko’s sight. he learned how how navigate every mood until riko became too unhinged to navigate and by then he was so trapped in his role that he couldn’t fight back from riko and he couldn’t let the team know that he wasn’t just number 2 but he was a pet to riko. he was a bitch to his teammates to distract from what riko was doing to him and jean but also from so much built up anger inside for the person he could not escape

While all three of my beloved Terror Lieutenant Ships are still technically in the running for the yuri tournament, I just want to say they ARE all yuri. to me. Specifically they are all different delightful flavors of lesbian stereotype.

Hodgving for instance are hashtag girlbestfriends. Absolute Jennifer's Body situation. They are two little girls playing house and snuggling together Too Much during sleepovers and "practicing kissing". They are a maid of honor speech where it's painfully desperately obvious that she's in love with the bride. They are Good Luck Babe Dot MP3. Starts at choir practice and ends with a body count.

Hodglittle on the other hand are an actual established butch4femme couple. Hodge after three hours: Ok I'm ready to leave the house! Ned: [tossing on one final jacket on top of her five layers of clothes] Wonderful darling you look so pretty let's go. Also by established I mean yes they uhauled it immediately after meeting. And yes that was a mistake but they're In It Together Now. Codependent and loving it.

Meanwhile Nedving are just two classic useless lesbians. Probably too shy to ever even meet each other irl. Ned will just keep posting pictures of like, a pony and a lamb sleeping cuddled up in a meadow and tagging them "#me and who" while Jirv keeps liking every post and being too nervous to say a single word to her. The height of romance and repression and also agonizing stupidity.

Rikuo seeing Hoeru have things he wants to enjoy makes him sympathize in that he knows how things are for Hoeru. He knows Hoeru's situation with his brother and he knows Hoeru hasn't figured out his wish, but when Hoeru shows interest and hope it moves him. He feels sorry for Hoeru that he couldn't experience the things other people could bc of his past and Rikuo can at least give him this with all he has, even if it's rooted in sympathy (at least Rikuo thinks it is at this time).

Rikuo and Hoeru are able to work as one and be successful. And although the rigged event does determine they've lost, the care was still present in that moment and they still did it together.

On another note, I do find it interesting how Rikuo and Hoeru can recognize when the other is acting off. We see this with Rikuo here, and we saw it with Hoeru in episode 11 (there are likely other instances, however this is off the top of my head).

In the Confessional, Rikuo also participates in Hoeru's activities while the others take no interest, and I do think that this is connected to him sympathizing with Hoeru in episode 17 as Hoeru notes that Rikuo usually doesn't get him this well. It's a small thing, but so are a lot of things that Rikuo does for Hoeru, which I have talked about before (see my Rikuo musings and Hoeru musings tags for previous posts). I think it's the small things that can really impact how a relationship develops and strengthens, and I think it can have a great impact when the relationship is challenged or conflict is brewing.

I'm back and I'm having emotions about Samwise Gamgee.

I'm trying to articulate why Michael Kurowski's Sam is actually possibly surpassing Bill Nighy for my favorite Sam and is at the very least tied and I think it's because the way that he plays him (and the way that everyone else plays off of him), Sam is allowed to not know things, without his social class ever being the butt of a joke.

Like he was much closer to movie Sam and BBC radio Sam than Watermill Sam in that he was wide-eyed and wondering and very straightforward and emotionally effusive and a lot like what you'd picture when you picture in your mind's eye how Samwise Gamgee acts.

But it was never his lack of knowledge that was the butt of the joke. Or, like, the fact that he was Sam that made things funny, if that makes any sense.

He wasn't being a caricature of a country bumpkin. He was being...a realistic country bumpkin? One who's still a 3-dimensional person with loads of intelligence and also is respected by the people around him?

Yeah. Michael!Sam, man. So freakin good.

Ok I have a confession. I have fallen victim to the classic straightbait once more. Reading the last unicorn like yeah yeah whatever Amalthea and Lír I don’t care… holy fuck schmendrick and molly are insane if you think about it for 2 seconds.

Mostly because I am a Molly stan first and a human being second but absolutely iconic dynamic going on here: hardened, jaded woman—who gave up on her childhood dreams of magic and whimsy after the harsh realities of life steamrollered over her—leaves her man of 17 years to run off with a fuckass wizard who does clown shows for a living. Molly discovers the happiness that has been denied to her her whole life… with the world’s most pathetic magic man. On Schmendrick’s end she’s the first person to ever believe in and encourage him without laughing at his incompetence, and it’s her words that inspire him to find his true magic once and for all.

The best part is they’re not together but they’re not not together. In the sequel story, Molly says he’s the last man she’d ever marry and yet they look and act like a couple to everyone around them. It’s implied Schmendrick is slowing down her aging with magic so they can live out their lives at each other’s sides. They’ve gone everywhere together for decades at least. They never kiss or admit to love, but the care they have for each other is palpable.

Anyways.

hayden and theo r my favorite chimeras (or former chimera in Hayden’s case) and i think their relationship with liam and scott respectively are so interesting in how similar they are

like, the thing about theo and hayden is that both of them could’ve been werewolves, like scott and liam, if there were no dread doctors. if theo had stayed in beacon hills there’s a chance he could’ve become a werewolf around the time scott does. he could’ve been the one offered the bite by peter instead of stiles, he could’ve sought it out like jackson did, he could’ve wanted the bite for himself (i honestly believe he would have). him and scotts main difference is that theo is a chimera while scotts a werewolf, but they could’ve been the same if the dread doctors never came into theo’s life.

hayden is the same. she was going to meet liam eventually, bc they know each other from sixth grade and are in the same class at school, plus liam and his friends go to the club where she works. they would’ve crossed paths and they could’ve fell in love organically (it was all there already without the supernatural aspect—they were so enemies to lovers) and hayden would’ve been tied to the supernatural that way. but she got turned into a chimera before even meeting liam again, changing their relationship.

that’s so interesting to me. also the fact that theo and hayden come back into scott and liams lives as chimeras. the fact that they’re chimeras is the thing that impacts both of their relationships with scott and liam, affecting it negatively. like liam and hayden go through the whole thing in s5 because liam is a werewolf in scotts pack while hayden’s a chimera! what they are and how their lives were changed by becoming apart of the supernatural (scott and liam by being bit, theo and hayden by being turned) will always be the thing that separates them, that prevents them from working out.

Thinking about Jamie when Victoria first joins the Tardis..

Jamie who has come to an understanding about himself and has settled into a comfortable relationship with the Doctor.

Jamie who is used to travelling with Ben and Polly, who are from a more accepting future, now has Victoria. Victoria who is a lot more sheltered then Ben and Polly and from a time much more similar to his own.

Victoria who first sees his relationship with the Doctor whilst they are more distant and uncertain..

I do wonder if he would have been hesitant at first around her (thinking back to the handholding scene in tomb)
