i have been stewing in the hate crimes md content for almost a month now, why did nobody tell me that house's subconscious (the Amber hallucination) literally told him to tell wilson he loves him. that happened on my screen. i rewatched it 5 times with my volume all the way up bcs it felt like a fever dream. pain and repression show.

best friends forever <3 ✌️

***Spoilers for White Rabbit Fest!!***

So far, there have been four hometown events (if you include White Rabbit Fest): In Silk City, we met Najma, Jamil's little sister. In Harveston, we met Marja, Epel's grandmother. In Sunset Savanna, we met Kifaji, the Grand Chamberlin of the country (and Cheka, Leona's nephew that we first saw at the end of book 2, had a cameo). Now, in Clock Town, we've met Dylla, Deuce's mom.

I noticed that of the hometown events, White Rabbit Fest was the only one so far where the SSR boy actually demonstrates a strong bond with Yuu and Grim that extends beyond "they're my classmate". Dylla specifically notes that Deuce talks about hanging out with Yuu and Grim both in and out of class. It kind of makes sense for Jamil and Leona to not be buddy-buddy enough with Yuu and Grim to talk about them with their family + head of the royal household, respectively. Beyond helping them in their respective books + asking for their help in the book proceeding their own, Yuu and Grim did not interact with them much. Even when Leona appears later in book 5, he seemed slightly annoyed at Grim approaching him in his homeroom and acting friendly. As for Jamil, he clarifies to Najma that the guests he has over for the fireworks festival are "classmates, not friends" and that "there is a difference". He clearly draws the boundary between those two labels. Epel is more debatable in terms of intimacy, since Yuu and Grim are most often depicted as being close with the first year group more than the second or third years. There's also a very strong story emphasis on Epel as a part of the group in book 5, as well as parts deep in the main story (Ortho's Fairy Gear vignettes, brainstorming ideas to catch Mickey, being relevant at Lilia's farewell party around the same time rather than being relevant at the same times as their respective dorms) and events (like the party at the end of the first Halloween event) where Jack, Ortho, Sebek, and Epel are also portrayed as being part of the "main" group. However, when Epel introduces his classmates to Marja, Marja never makes mention of Epel talking about Yuu or Grim before to her. She just greets them just the same as the other classmates that Epel brought back with him for the sledding race.

Deuce's mom is the only new character we've met in the hometown events that makes an explicit point to mention that Deuce has actively talked about Yuu and Grim (and Ace) before to her. She's even sort of surprised that Ace didn't join them for the trip to Clock Town for the White Rabbit Fest. Furthermore, other event characters (Silver and Epel) comment on the tight bond between Adeuce, Grim, and Yuu. This further cements the idea that Yuu, Grim, Ace, and Deuce are the "core" group (an idea which was first introduced in the prologue), while the other first years are sort of secondary (still friends, just not as close as the first four are), which makes sense with their less frequent appearances in the main story.

ahjbayodybqer For as much as Deuce and Ace argue, it sounds like he still talks a ton about his rival 😅 That's how you know it's true friendship/j

This is probably an "old woman yells at clouds" moment, but I'm very very glad that Nintendo didn't let Samus get added to Fortnite. The game is so saturated with crossovers and skins and shit that I sincerely doubt the exposure would have meaningfully moved the needle on Metroid sales, and the series would just be devalued further by this inclusion tbh. I don't want to see Samus firing an AK-47 and doing tiktok dances and used as the mouthpiece for some kid yelling slurs. Wholeheartedly embracing my inner hater in this one instance, a bullet truly was dodged. Nintendo can really suck with their overprotectiveness of their IPs, but in this one case I'm grateful for it.

i can’t think abt this too long or i’ll go crazy but the way the last episode highlighted the ways in which shiv and kendall are so often a set/pair is sooo. like there’s so much to unpack there. they’re so obviously different while having very similar shortcomings and strengths. you Know shiv has always wanted to be The Eldest Son that kendall was when they were younger, but has always believed she would have done it better. and ken tells shiv himself “i’m the real you” when he’s the one on the outside. they share that need to be the hero to logan’s villain and that makes them both brave enough to confront him and totally delusional about their own shortcomings. they big up themselves as moral movers and shakers but theyre the ones who shamelessly lie to the group abt their motivations when it comes to the deal w stewy and sandi. and yet when it comes to fighting logan for as performative as they are it’s also totally authentic, deep, personal anger that keeps them from buying into logan’s spiel the way connor and roman do. selfishness as a strength and a weakness. dad’s favorite children have the nerve to be angry because they did believe deep down they were chosen ones.

they really did send luka couffaine to brazil to train in kung fu huh.

they took the music loving, stringed instrument making, aura-reading freak who wears elbow pads aND knee pads to ride a bicycle and brings his guitar everywhere to learn kung fu with his absent dad, his girlfriend, and a goddamn crocodile in brazil.

I genuinely didn't realise that that one scene in kusuriya no hitorigoto (jinshi touches mao mao's lips and then touches his and mao mao has to stop herself from laughing) was seen as 'he made her blush' (or had indicated that mao mao had romantic feelings or smth for him) idk idk maybe i get attached too characters i deem as aromantic and having no interest in romance..

the barbie movie just means so much to me.

it got me back into writing after a slump. it's helped strengthen friendships i already had and introduced me to new friends. it made me excited to go to the movies again.

it got me collecting dolls again and healing the hurt from my mom making me throw my barbies away.

i love this movie so, so much.
