ok i;m normal now new mao card so good.. 1 he is super duper pink here welcome back princess mao i missed u girl 2 the camera angle.. voiceline mentions being number 1 star and his talents and if u know mao's complication with both of those things from ex. autumn live it really makes u think that NO FUCKING WAY HAPPYELE IS ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING WITH MAO'S CHARACTER
his complication with being number 1 is the fact as a kid this guy always wanted 2nd place as to not hurt anyone if he got 1st he's a guy who doesn't want conflict and is a general people pleaser so the fact it looks as though he's looking down on us means he truly is at the top
he's at the top but at the same time he's stretching a hand out.. he's accepting and actually competing for the top but at the same time he still stays true to the part of him that wants to help others also goes along with the fact that trickstar may've been at the top at some point but they were still approachable..
the star thing where mao considers himself as a mere flashlight compared to the bright stars that the other trickstar members are his whole inferiority complex that soon gets shaped into him using his low self esteem as a flashlight that although he may not shine as bright he can still be the person he wants to be by being able to be other peoples sides as their light.. however this time he WANTS to be at the top of the sky as a true genuine star just like the trickstar who showed him true wonder whom he wishes to be with
the chandelier in the bloomed shining down at him to show how bright he is now is so good i love it
mao thinks himself of as a jack of all trades master of none so he thinks he has no outstanding talent but regardless of his own interpretation of himself he's going to push through it in fact the amount of effort this guy is willing to put in no matter how much it takes or troublesome that's his talent it seems ordinary on paper to mao but really it's a part of what makes him so important to the people around him who see him so brightly that he just doesn't seem to see for himself
i was so worried that mao being one of the first 2 4piece auditioners would mean he was only setup for 4piece exposition and be pushed to the side again but now it feels as though it's an ending to mao's arc that was left started in autumn live but never received an ending
i really am excited for this story but at the same time i'm also holding myself back for probably the more obvious conclusion of nothing really happening or something big happening that really ends with nothing but if happyele can AT LEAST let this be a push for mao's character in the 2nd year of !! era i'll be a happy man this is what i've been waiting for For so so long
first mao card of 2nd year of !! era being a love letter to his character makes me really happy it feels as though i could die

i was watching the bear earlier today (s01ep08 - braciole) as one does for research purposes just made me want more sydcarmy's scenes brainstorming together and cooking together, but maybe now at her place? the place she'll eventually get when she finally gets a salary? or maybe at her dad's kitchen
i'd like to see carmy formally meeting his father-in-law in an almost cringe way? like, i want Emmanuel to watch them cook together for a bit and realize why Carmy deserves Sydney's trust
but then leave bc the vibes are somehow weirdly romantic in a way Emmanuel feels he's interrupting something, so he leaves them alone.
yep i want that

100 word drabble exercise.
Prompt: taken
He was giggling again. Quietly, under his breath. Marinette pretended not to notice, but she couldn’t stop her own smile.
Across the table, Nino sighed, a pointed look over his glasses. “Adrien, what,” he said flatly, already knowing the answer.
Alya simply rolled her eyes.
Adrien beamed, raising his and Marinette’s already joined hands over the table. The smile made his words lilt at the ends. “She said yes,” he replied, emphasizing their matching charm bracelets with a shake and a lovelorn sigh. “We’re dating.”
Nino’s face held all the exhaustion of an older brother. “So you said. Thirty times.”
Send me one word, I'll write you 100
