#but this drives me genuinely insane

[plum-taffy]

Watching some danger force today and kept thinking about this:

Specifically the season 1 episode "Chapa's crush" because they outright say Ray has feelings for Henry??? Like, there is no other interpretation. It's very much stated that Ray has a crush on Henry, or at the very least, finds him attractive.

Incase you haven't watched it, a short recap: The crew is fighting your typical bad guy, and Chapa is the only one able to fight since the others are incapacitated. Except she doesn't, and just kind of dreamily states off into space. The crew later discuss it and come to the conclusion that she 'likes-likes' someone (Stated IN the show by the characters). When Chapa sees the dude she goes jaw slack and this love song plays. When the other 3 members eventually see him, what do they do? They go jaw slack, drool, and the same song plays. One could argue that just because the writers found it to be a funny gag, and that they have no feelings for him, but then each character shows attraction to the dude!! Again, no other interpretation, they clearly say they find him attractive and fight over who gets him. This comes to ahead when they find out he left Swellview to live with his girlfriend to which they become very disappointed hearing about her. This is not something you'd do if you had platonic feelings for someone, pointing again towards romantic feelings. How does this play into Henray? At the end of the episode Henry shows up and what does Ray do? He goes jaw slack, drools, and the same damn love song plays. THE EXACT SAME THING THAT THE OTHERS DID WHEN THEY GOT A CRUSH. And the lyrics that play during it?? "I LIKE YOU I LIKE YOU YOU'RE THE ONE FOR ME" what if I just perished.

Like... how could you watch this episode and not pick up on what the writers are saying?? Even if they didn't intend it, that is still very much what is being implied. Though I find it very hard to believe they didn't purposely write it like this. Because how do you use those kind of lyrics and NOT realize what is being implied?

There are so many more moments I could bring up from DF but I just wanted to get this one out of my system. Anyways, Henray is canon and I love them 💯

an uneasy reunion

on one hand i could very much justify the orpheus and eurydice reference from charles while believing his feelings for edwin are completely platonic but on the other hand HOW DO YOU COMPARE YOU AND THE GUY WHO JUST CONFESSED HIS LOVE FOR YOU TO FUCKING ORPHEUS AND EURYDICE AND THEN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW IT BY SAYING YOURE NOT IN LOVE WITH HIM BACK ????

it pmo so badly when some people are like "awww but ambessa was proud of her in her last moments 🥹" without thinking any further abt it cuz like... mel has spent the entire series, has spent her entire life struggling to be different from ambessa. trying to escape from the ways of her mother and the ways of noxus. we can see how deeply traumatized she is by her upbringing, the moment we see a flashback of in s1 especially. her arc in the first season literally concludes with her taking off the symbol of the the medarda family and explicitly contradicting her mother' wishes. mel does not WANT to be what her mother wants her to be.

and in the end the very last thing her mother says to her is that mel's become EXACTLY what she wanted her to become. it's such a deeply tragic moment because, in killing ambessa, while theoretically speaking freeing herself of her mother's expectations, mel has fulfilled them in their entirety. mel has become the wolf.

i said this in the tags of another post but. the way that the desert always seems to PHYSICALLY pop up whenever scar and grian are together is insane. first them finding the only tiny patch of desert in double life, and now a desert appearing in front of them right as they're laughing together and riding on a llama camel. like we all know this but MAN. they seriously never left the desert. it's become a symbol of their past together, and they can't escape it.

The problem with a lot of traffic life interpretations in my opinion is they don't understand character foils or don't employ them in their writing. Grian-Martyn and Scar-Ren are genuinely pretty good character foils for a series that is not really scripted or planned out like a book is. I could go on and on about how they parallel each other and the similarities between them. Even the smaller details between the four usually match up

leaving the rant in the tags so I don't have a huge block of text again ueueue

makes me physically sick to see all the sexist team green fans gleefully comment at every chance they get that rhaenyra was never recognised as a queen like it’s some crowning achievement and not a horrifying parallel to how many women have been erased, murdered and brutalised all throughout history for daring to stand up for themselves and other women like them.

Tired and sick, may I get some Once upon a withlight headcanons to ease my weary soul?

aaa hope you feel better soon snuggles 🫶

this is one I actually have to put a little brain power into bc I actually haven’t thought super hard about this

- I think kremy and Gideon never verbally apologize to each other after a fight, both of them are way too prideful and awkward for that. Kremy I think would take it like a mom who cuts up fruit for you instead of apologizing. He doesn’t explicitly acknowledge that anything happened or is wrong but Gideon will be moping in the corner and kremy will be like “I made dinner, are you gonna come eat with me or what?” and instantly all is resolved. On Gideon’s part, I think it’s a combo of big sad puppy eyes and acts of service, just constantly going out of his way to do things for kremy to try to make up for it. I think gid does that a lot just anyways but he goes especially hard on it when he’s trying to apologize after a fight

- also coalecroux focused, these guys are so weird about physical affection. it’s either they are extremely awkward and strange about it or they are literally inside each others skin, no in between. Like I think with these two having been together for as long as they have, they have very naturally gotten super used to constantly hanging on to each other and having their arms wrapped around each other like second nature, neither of them even really realize they do it, but the SECOND anyone comments on it or causes them to think about it for even a second, they are instantly ten feet apart from each other and all awkward and sputtery about it. freaks, I hate them (affectionate)

- Frost is the kind of person who will appear to be completely doing his own thing and not paying attention at all when other people are talking but he is actually extremely engaged in the conversation, he just doesn’t feel the need to hold eye contact or stop doing what he’s doing (which is probably like reading a book or something similar which would appear to hold all his attention). Gricko is the most used to this and entirely unfazed by it but it takes most others a little while to understand it

- Gideon and Twig scheme about pranks to pull on frost together. Either that or just ganging up to make fun of him (affectionate) in general

- Twig tries to help show torbek how to clean and take care of his fur a little more. He’s not particularly good at it on his own but he’s trying and he appreciates it immensely

- frost. Kitty tendencies. he tries like really really hard not to show most of his cat qualities very often bc he does not want to draw attention to them but he has found himself making biscuits around people without realizing more than once

- Hootsie with each of the different krew members I think are all very fun dynamics. Frost is father #2 to her and will usually be the one taking care of her if gricko cannot as he is generally the most responsible and capable when it comes to taking care of her, though he will definitely sneak her more rat snacks than she’s supposed to have. Kremy is like the rich gay aunt who will absolutely spoil her rotten if given the opportunity. He never means to but he can never resist doing so. He will go full Karen mode to give her the world. I imagine hootsie in Gideon’s care like one of those movies where the plot revolves around a babysitter and the kid their watching going on a big wacky adventure and needing to get home before the parents do, and no matter zany the hijinks, they will always get back home and act like absolutely nothing happened when the parents do get home. He is one of hootsie’s favorite to play and cuddle with but he should probably not be solely responsible for her for extended periods of time. Torbek and hootsie are like bffs and also are great cuddle buddies but similarly he should never be left solely responsible for her it would not go well.

“The worst system struggles are this!!”

“No, the worst system struggles are that!!”

LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER

I think deep down we all know that the worst struggles are when your headmates get the stupidest fucking vocal stims and will NOT stop saying them. Currently going insane because the co-host repeats “I am absolutely PENISED!!” every third second

UGH. I just love writing Damian and Jon just talking to each other, I love showing how Jon would say something vs. how Damian says something. I love writing how Damian would feel about something and how Jon would. I love that even if it’s entirely different and from a whole different perspective they still bounce off of each other. I love exploring this dynamic in a non-platonic context where the drama is at a high and they can discuss their strengths, weaknesses and insecurities.

I love how Jon will feel so intensely and not be afraid to show it around Damian vs. Damian feeling even more and holding it in till it bleeds out at his most vulnerable. I love how different they feel about other people than they feel about each other. How yes, they are best friends and just friends but they always have felt differently about each other than they do their other friends AND THAT WITHIN ITSELF IS COMPELLING.

I love how much they feel for each other and how they see themselves in the other’s eyes. How similar and different they are. I love how Jon will float and Damian will freefall. I love how something will pull them both back and then propelled them forward. They way Damian shows Jon how to be a hero and Jon shows Damian how to be a kid. I love how Damian shows Jon what love has been and he stands firm and shows Damian what love can be. I love how Damian would kill for Jon but not die for him, I love how Jon would die for Damian but not kill for him. I love how Jon doesn’t condemn Damian for what he’s done but instead feel responsible for it and try to hold the pain for him. I love how Jon would jump up to defend him. I love how they both are shackled to the same destiny, I love how even if they hated each other they will be together forever because of said destiny. I love how they both feel split between worlds. I love how Damian bleeds but Jon can only hurt. I love how Damian gives Jon exactly what he needs to keep his head on straight and where that takes him. I love how maturity fluxuates between these two because they are both so annoyingly immature. I love how the idea of Damian doing wrong is so false to Jon that he feels like he must of had something to do with it and a lot of the time he does because of literal cosmic reasons.
