i remember talking to my mom in like december and she was very confident in israel and i was like "mom they're doing genocide" and she was like "i'm not comfortable with you calling it a genocide" and i was so frustrated and baffled by that that "how many people would have to die before you consider it a genocide" just came out of my mouth and it was like rhetorical befuddlement and in retrospect i regretted asking it bc it was a bad question but she was like "hmm id have to think about that" and i just think about it all the time like man thousands of people were dead hundreds dying every day and you an american upper class jew who visited israel and proclaimed praise at how "multicultural" it was who can "return" to it whenever you want even though it's never been your or anyone in your family's home have to think about at what level YOU'RE comfortable with it being called genocide. really just exemplifies all of it for me. she and the rest of my family get to hide behind the holocaust as a defense for anything. a genocide isn't a genocide except in retrospect when you can feel comfortable by saying no one could have known (except people did)

Luz and Hunter are Evelyn/Caleb coded and I think it's really funny how the show chooses to be unsubtle about it all the way up until the end of TTT.
[I legit can't see how TOH is supposed to be a subversion of romantic expectations when it constantly beats us over the head with the Caleb/Evelyn = Lunter parallels.]
I rewatched HM last night and this episode in particular never fails to make me WAIL.
1.) "Out of all the Grimwalkers, you looked the most like him"
2,) Luz wearing a jacket that has a big ol "E" on it in an episode that directly parallels Luz and Hunter with Caleb and Evelyn with zero subtlety.
This clothing choice is especially crazy in hindsight because we still didn't know Evelyn's name at this point in time. But the writers did and they made Luz wear a jacket with a giant "E" on it and THEN do shit like this:
OK COOL, THIS IS FINE.
I can see how we aren't supposed to read this as romantically coded, especially when they parallel the paintings with scenes in this episode and they make Luz wear a jacket with an "E" on it. [I am being sarcastic, btw].
LMAO, AND THEN - and then Thanks to Them comes around to officially solidify these parallels by name dropping Evelyn, which makes Luz's jacket choice in HM extremely suspicious.
Oh and TTT also shows us Evelyn was the one responsible for introducing Flapjack to Caleb like how Luz introduced Flapjack to Hunter in HP.
Antis: There are no Lunter hints or Lunter = Caleb/Evelyn coding in the show ur just delusional.
TOH: ... Anyways. [Makes it very clear Luz and Hunter are tied to the story of Caleb/Evelyn and they make Luz and Hunter kiss in a spoiler episode.]
HOW is this show subverting romantic expectations when it keeps laying on the Caleb/Evelyn + Lunter parallels? Especially SAI, which is a spoiler episode with THIS in it.
This show did everything but subvert romantic expectations LMAO. Luz and Hunter are tied to Caleb and Evelyn's story. It doesn't matter if you don't like it because that's how the show wants you to view Luz's and Hunter's dynamic.

I've already had some DNA health testing done for Arthur. I think he needs one more thing done for that that wasn't included on Embark. He's clear by parentage for everything, but I did the generic testing anyway. Then this year I can do the OFA thyroid panel and patellas. I'm hoping to go to the next local eye clinic. Kinda holding out hope for a BAER clinic to pop up, but that doesn't seem common. There is one vet locally who can do it though. Clinics are just way cheaper. I'll have hips, elbows, and spine all done together after he turns 2. That's gonna be super expensive haha but I have savings for it. He'll need his eyes checked yearly. Then at some point if he passes everything, I probably should have sperm count and what not done.
So many things to be done for the CHANCE that my dog might be bred lol. But the people who breed dogs without doing all the health testing? Irresponsible. Horrid. It's a lot, sure, but you have to.

airy for the Bingo 👀👀
I know my opinions are prolly wrong and controversial but I do not care anymore since the show has been over for a good while
So let me just tap into my old knowledge of how I feel about the show and Airy as a character
Alright so yeah I'm on the more extreme side of things of just like Airy didn't do anything wrong ever, this isn't even me being like oh favourite character or anything it's just kinda like I just genuinely do not think he was ever thinking about anything he was doing ever
Obviously he still did bad things but like the thing is, when you DIE you don't really DIE so death kinda loses its meaning and there isn't really that impact anymore of Airy killing people and he had to also die multiple times likely in order to get where he is
So UNDERSTANDABLY there is a lack of connection there, a lack urgency in death @ the Plane once Airy understands how to bring people back
Obviously there is still a LOT of fucked up shit if you REALLY think about it and really connect with the characters and try and feel what they must be feeling BUT to think Airy is this fucked up cold and unfeeling villain aware of his actions is just not it
He just isn't. There. He's not there lmao it doesn't really feel like there is a way to get it through to him that what he's doing is causing problems bcuz it's like a sandbox game for him he doesn't understand that things happen without him that those are PEOPLE existing in his little world that they have lives and are effected by his actions
He only has a connection when he sees Liam in person and like there were other times he showed care and concern but it's a lot more apparent when someone is physically there with you, you can see and feel them and they have an impact on you
Plus he did feel bad about what he had done in the past but there's not really a way for you to properly process that so understandably he just doesn't, like it obviously bothers him but he also doesn't want to be alone and I understand how boredom is a killer
Plus I think he's prolly always been a bit messed up but it really comes out when you've been thru things ur never gonna be able to fully understand or process so you simply don't and just accept things and do things a certain way bcuz you just gotta

Jade could move like smoke, shape herself into whatever she needed to survive and leave people with nothing but a smile. ‘Like a Cheshire Cat’. Not Artemis. Something in her refused to bend that way, refused to form a smooth mask over what she felt. Too much like Alice - unable to believe impossible things. She’d made herself a stone instead.
