el & mike, robin & steve parallels

please tell me if this has been elaborated on more bc i can’t really put my thoughts to words. i've been rewatching s3 and kinda thought that steve and mike are similar as i watched steve want to be the hero and protect robin but “failing” (idk if that's the best way to put it but she's always like the brain, the one who figures stuff out and i feel like that's who steve wants to be)

mike + el and steve + robin parallels have been pointed out specifically with the shared music that plays over robin’s coming out and the milkvan confession scene (at the end of s3) but maybe there’s more there

i kinda started spiraling during the scene in ep6 after steve and robin fall after trying to get the scissors and robin brings up high school. she’s talking about a shared class and how she was obsessed with steve and how he never even noticed her. there could be some connections made with how mike idolizes el (also the character parallels can be switched around, i don't feel like this parallel hinges on them having a set character) BUT the part that sparked my attention was all the talk of wanting to be normal, and how all even when they try to be above, all losers just want to be normal and accepted. steve then goes on about how it’s not all good and that all the things the world tells you should matter is just bullshit

and now im going to exit my parallel kinda bc his next line can be connected elsewhere. “but i guess you have to mess up to figure things out, right?” i feel like this foreshadow mike’s arc really well, especially with what we saw in s4. he’s fucked everything up with el and will, specifically because of what the world has taught him to believe, but he has to. he would never be able to understand himself and his relationships without realizing what doesn’t work

there could also be an argument made where this parallel continues into s4 with will entering the picture as nancy (and robin kinda?? its not like a direct thing still) robin and steve know what they’re relationship is, nancy pushes them together because thats what she thinks they want

but then you could switch el and will around because robin’s pushing makes nancy consider a relationship with steve again (st*ncy does not deserve rights); i think after their fight, mike and el know where they stand (broken up, just friends) but will’s meddling has mike make his big confession and think that he needs this relationship

anyway, very sorry for the rambling, please please please elaborate on any of the ideas listed, i would really love to hear someone smarter talking about this

[stripesysheaven]

For the stargirl character ask thingy

Cameron

Why I like them: he’s the son of a villain and he obviously is going to end up a villain, and yet he has a very kind heart. cameron is a character that has all the reasons in the world to be angry and mad, and yet he puts his pain into art, and uses that art to make others happy. him covering up the writing on yolanda’s locker with flowers was the moment i really started to like that kid. sure maybe he did it for courtney, but at the same time he barely knew her back then. and knowing how kind hearted his father is (ignoring his evil side) it’s easy to see that cameron is just a genuinely good kid. also cindy making fun of him offhandedly (something similar to “art freak”? i need to rewatch the shiv episodes sometime) really showed that while he’s nice, like with joey, it doesn’t make him one of the cool kids. maybe knowing that he’s a normal kid that isn’t super popular but is still a nice person makes him more lovable to me

Why I don’t: ngl im one of those ppl that gets nervous as soon as i see a straight relationship on tv bc they can be written badly sometimes and fall into plots that make the women look bad, so when we were introduced to him by him obviously being courtney’s love interest i was kinda unsure at first, but honestly i’ve enjoyed him on the show. i’m glad she isn’t obsessed with him and i’m glad he has a future outside of being her love interest, so that’s exciting! and honestly im excited for a lovers to enemies (to lovers?) plot and seeing how they navigate that

Favorite episode: episode 3!! icicle!! loved seeing him as a little kid, and the background story make you understand his softness and his love for art. makes him an enjoyable character

Favorite line: he has more of a “man of actions” vibe instead of a man of words. i don’t really have a favorite line of his, but him covering up the words on yolanda’s locker was a very memerable moment of his that i think spoke louder than words. shows he has a good judge of character

Favorite outfit: i find it interesting how cameron wears a green jacket in most of his scenes, green being the color that symbolizes most of the villains on the show foreshadows a lot how he is going to end up, but the specific outfit that cameron wears when he watches joey do his magic act with courtney switches it up by wearing a green undershirt and a blue shirt over it. blue could symbolize his good side, but more likely is referring to him one day becoming icicle (the picture below is of said look, ignore the bad quality i got it off google)

OTP: i wouldn’t call myself a camney stan, though i must say i like it way more than i expected to. i am interested in seeing the future of the two’s relationship. will they ever actually go on a date or skip to the enemies stage in the relationship? will they be only enemies one day or be somewhere between enemies and lovers?? i am curious what they will be like next season

Brotp: the only kid he has interacted with is courtney. like. there’s no one else?? he knew joey. they were friends apparently??? maybe???? joey for canon and henry for fanon thank u

Head Canon: anime nerd. i’m not even into anime, he just has the vibe

Unpopular opinion: hmmm. well there’s a small portion of the fandom that likes cameron but doesn’t see him as straight. that likes the idea of him and henry jr being together, and i gotta admit its cute. though if i want to go into extreme unpopular opinions, considering i’m an icewave fan, i also like the idea of them as stepbrothers? (obviously two very different thoughts that don’t relate or overlap, im not like that thank you very much) anyway at the very least it would have been cool to see cameron and henry jr interact since i can’t think of any scenes of them together, it would be cool to see a friendship between them

A wish: let him be good-evil like his father but still be in love with courtney. if it’s not obvious i do love an enemies to lovers plot and i hope we get those vibes for them

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: i hope they don’t change his writing in season 2 too dramatically. if jordan really is dead (or more likely, cameron thinks he’s dead) i’m afraid of how much they’ll change him. i know he needs to have a story arc of him turning into the next icicle, but i’m just afraid of how it will get there. if he ends up being overly angsty or angry, in a way that doesn’t fit his current characterization it could get weird. i also understand that his mom’s death was longer ago so his response to her death vs his father’s “death” will be very different

5 words to best describe them: artistic. light. kindness. floral. family.

My nickname for them: ice boi

[neptrabbit]

So. Here are some of my personal thoughts on ith movie. since this post is LONG, most of the thoughts are leaning towards criticism & ofc it contains spoilers so imma put my bad takes under cut. they’re my personal, subjective opinion, so it’d be normal if you agree/disagree. anyways, you’ve been warned.

The opening song

stage performance & movies are two VERY different media, so unavoidably they had to make many changes to adapt the musical to big screen. One thing they were trying to adapt was the breaking the fourth wall narration in the opening song. they changed the setting of a lot of these lines to Usnavi telling a bunch of kids in an unknown future timeline abt Washington Heights. I personally am not a fan of this decision. the cut between the two different timelines in that 8 min release got me pretty confused & taken out & that feeling did not change much when i was watching the movie either. in the course of the movie, suddenly cutting to future timeline breaks the flow & consistency of the narrative for me, esp since the future scenes rlly aren’t that long. Ik it's for the reveal in the end. I still don't like it.

Choreography

the choreography & cinematography by themselves are hella fantasitc. there’re VERY pretty scenes and choreography, esp during songs. from top of my head i can name a few: the reflection of dancing in the opening song, the running scene in It Won’t Be Long Now, the pool scene (with Vanessa floating on a life saver in the middle) in 96000, THE FUCKING ENTIRETY OF PACIENCIA Y FE, the dancing in The Club, the horizontal dancing scene in When The Sun Goes Down, etc. But a lot of the scenes, esp those that involve group dancing, seems a bit out of place when they seem to take place in the real world rather than on stage. This is prolly another demonstration of the difference in the media of stage performance & movies. I had a hard time to suspend my disbelief, and the movie trying to place some of the dancing in the actual narrative rlly didn’t make it better for me.

(at first I thought for some reason the pool scene in 96000 was everyone’s imagination coming together & was looking forward to it. I did not expect it to actually take place in a pool in the movie & they even used a whole sequence of them going to the pool to show them going to the pool to set it up. So is the dancing in the intro. i did not expect an overhead shot to reveal that it actually happened. Moments like these gave me serious pauses & made me unable to rlly appreciate the fantastic cinematography & choreography.)

bc of the reason i stated & the fact the movie is so centered around these songs & the plot gets cut by the narration from the future, this movie kinda strikes me as a series of well-made music videos connected by loose plots & themes rather than an actual movie.

Plot change

as we all are aware, they made several choices regarding the plot. 

changing nina’s reason to leave Stanford from unable to take care of school & jobs to provide for her living at the same time to experience of racism. i’m personally not a fan of this change - i am not implying that racism is not an issue that poc experience daily. It’s just, I expected a more nuanced discussion on racism & identity in a movie centered around a socially & financially marginalized minority group than a few lines of “my roommate lost her shit so her & RA searched me”, “the school board thought i was a waitress at diversity dinner”, “the waiters looked at me in the looks that question if i am with them”, and “i felt lonely and without a community there”. They are pretty superficial considering their impact in the story. tbh the line “when i was younger i’d imagined what would happen if my parents had stayed in Puerto Rico” did a much better job to capture the identity crisis that first gen immigrant children go thru and gave me more emotional impacts than all the horrible things stanford did to nina. 

deleting Hundreds of Stories and putting Paciencia y Fe right before abuela’s death. i understand it’s a narrative choice bc they decided to reveal that abuela won the lottery later & make it that Usnavi had saved to move to DR in the beginning. in the changed lyrics of Paciencia y Fe we also had a peak of abuela’s struggle of deciding whether to leave or stay in Washington Heights. which is nice. but putting that song right before abuela dies rlly makes her conflicting feelings unimportant to the story... maybe the leave or stay refers to her dying, but she doesn’t rlly have much of a choice either way, does it. she’s just.. kinda like some characters in anime.. whose tragic backstory is narrated right before they die to get the readers emotional... but in a pretty song sequence... the choreography & lighting is very pretty tho. gotta give credit where it’s due.

Sonny’s subplot. i rewatched the movie and realized that there was some foreshadowing of his illegal status in the beginning when Daddy Sonny was talking to Usnavi, but tbh it was quite easy to miss.. so i was a bit surprised when they brought up Sonny’s subplot when there was only 45 min left of the movie. that was not enough time to fully develop this plot, esp given that time is used for other subplots too. we know Sonny is very aware of the politics & is sorta an activist, but him wanting to be like Nina & wanting to get into college wasn’t established earlier, so that part following the protest scene feels a bit flat.

Other things

I’ve seen the discussion of the film’s lack of rep of Afro-Latinos, but I am not the most qualified person to talk abt the experience of Afro-Latino community. I’m keeping my ears open and learning on this subject. 

I liked that they made Daniela & Carla a couple and was excited when i heard the news. The movie itself was not rlly explicit on their relationship tho - there were scenes of Carla pulling Daniela outta bed in the beginning & their dancing. but tbh the fact that they added a third Salon lady, Cuca, who’s always hanging around, makes D&C relationship harder to notice. Im not gonna say blink and you’ll miss it, but it’s pretty easy to miss. obv their relationship has nothing to do w the main plot, but eh. wished it was more explicit.

Tl;dr: i think they have a lot of interesting ideas that they didn’t explore fully so the movie feels a bit all over the place. this goes for Vanessa’s hope to become a fashion designer, Nina’s experience of racism & identity crisis, Sonny’s illegal status. Loved Daniela and the songs tho. Piragua song’s funny as hell. A bit sad they didn’t paint abuela in the finale :(

i am familiar w the source material & liked it a TON but i don’t like it enough to feel nostalgia.. so i can’t go in there with a fresh mind & see it without comparing it to the original, and neither do i hold so much affection for it that i can happily ignore the defects. so honestly i’m probably in the group that has the worst experience watching it

also: pls lmm i beg u pls don’t make a live action adaption of hamilton, pls

[segernatural]

Char, firstly please accept all of these hearts for that ask that made me smile so much: 💕💞💓💗💖. Secondly, I love your long tags on spn posts so much. You’re always so articulate and smart! I’m rewatching the show at the moment (got up to around 10/11 when I was watching it as it aired) and it’s been a trip and a half. I’m nearing the end of season 3 so I’m very excited to see a certain angel soon. I was wondering if you’ve watched the whole thing or you’re still getting through it and if so how far you are at the moment? I’m enjoying getting back into it a lot more than I thought, like there are moments that fall a little flat but also good moments! Dean is definitely still more interesting and likable next to Sam for me, I’ve found. Have a good day, my friend! ☺️💕

Aww nina! I'm so glad that it made you smile😊 we always have such wonderful interactions that i was like 'nina wants to know why i follow her? Time to send some love!' 💛💛

I really do appreciate that you take the time to read my little essays in the tags! They're a lot of fun for me to write--i tend to have a lot of thoughts on things, and you saying that they come across as articulate and smart really warms my heart :D i try my best!

Wowie you're going through the rewatch fast! I 100% get that feeling of being excited to see Thee Boi. He's wonderful, and Lazarus Rising is an amazing episode.

I'll let you in on a bit of a secret: i hadn't watched spn at all until the craziness that was November 5th. There's a few layers to that though. I have been a part of online culture since like, 2013, so due to cross-fandom contamination, i've been aware of supernatural for a very long time. In fact, when i heard it was having its final season, i vowed that i would check in on the fandom after every episode--to pay my respects, in a way. This fandom is responsible for trailblazing a lot of what fandom exists like today, so i wanted to check in and see how folks were doing.

Which means, while i had little context, i was around for the big moments of season 15. i felt the highs and lows, just not as deeply. I didnt even know its final eps got delayed, until the night of november 5th when the world was holding its breath.

Thee scene was my first ever spn scene. And it was such a ride to be a part of the experience of that night--i had heard theories and things from the show, but i was like i *have* to know how it got there. Bc i couldnt believe (in a good way!) that fans were right.

Bee and i had a breakdown over it all--and we kind of havent stopped 😂 i ended up watching both 15x19 and 15x20 *live on television* despite not seeing the 325 episodes that preceded them.

I wrote meta before even watching a full episode.

And that christmas, i decided that i was gonna commit to watching the whole show. Bee's doing a rewatch, whereas i'm seeing it all for the first time.

I take copious amounts of notes while watching--screenshots, commentary, quotes, the whole deal. And it has been an absolutely fascinating show. I'm not really a horror person--ive never seen a horror movie. Early seasons spn is not a show that i would normally watch, but because im paying such close attention and taking apart the layers, it has been a lot of fun. Ive been genuinely having a great time. It's so interesting to know bits and pieces of this show--plot points, scenes, characters--by cultural osmosis by being in an online space, that i know some of what happens next, despite never actually seeing it.

As to where i've gotten? We're at the season 4 finale tonight!

There's something about all three of our main guys that fascinates me--although i am a self-admitted dean-coded casgirl. Currently we've got all the actors giving it their all, which just makes the characters so compelling. Jackles throws his heart into dean from the get-go, which instantly made me very intrigued by his character, and s1 doesn't do a lot with sam, other than he's kind of there. S2 and 3 sam is really, really interesting, and he shines in episodes like Roadkill and Heart, along with Memory Spot. There are aspects of sam that i definitely relate to, and i really like him! I also, unfortunately, have eyes, and cannot look past how awful his hair was in 1-3, and the 2005 styling of the wardrobe was not good 😂 we've gotten to better hair but he still can't dress himself.

Dean is a fascinating character. He's a walking contradiction that shouldn't be as compelling as he is, but jackles does a fantastic job at piecing together this man that is intricate and understandable. As sort of implied by the self-diagnosed 'dean-coding', i feel like i have a grasp on how he thinks and operates, which means i am with him on every decision he makes. It all makes so much sense. Even if it hurts. His hurt strikes me to my core. Also, the wardrobe team doesn't usually do dean dirty, and jackles pretty, so,,, 😂

I've only just started to truly get to know cas, but his ideologies in the show conflict so much with the boys' and its just fascinating to watch. Its an opposing side, in a lot of ways, but its a very rational one. And getting to watch him fall for the first time, while knowing the Truth, is incredible. Misha is phenomenal as cas, and i can't wait for more. I love our lil gay angel. He is Thee Boi. Amazing. 11/10.

I could talk about this for ages, clearly 😂

I'm glad you've gotten into the show again! It truly has been a mindblowing experience to go "wait. The show did that. Really?!?" And have the rest of the fandom go "yeah! They did!" And to fully realize how not exaggerated any of their thoughts are. Its literal text in the show, that the network and writers try to avoid. Like. I get it now. I one thousand percent understand why people shipped and continue to ship dean and cas FROM THE FIRST EPISODE with them together. It's electric.

Ok i was gonna stop and then i got going again 😂

Thank you for this lovely ask nina! I wish you the best day as well :D 💛

[stevetwisp]

If you're free I'd love to hear some pony headcannons ;v; won't get into it but I'm having a hard night, all your headcannons are amazing and they always cheer me up!

aaaaaa im sorry this is a little late i’ll try n come up with some stuff

i’ve been rewatching the series again so i could clock in more hours on watching the later seasons and i had some thoughts

-pinkie pie and marble pie are twins, (which sort of throws a wrench in the whole, pinkie pie is a child of uhh... “adultery” headcanon) i think the reason pinkie came out all pink is bc she’s directly linked to (or the most linked to) the elements of harmony, i like to imagine bc pinkie is an earth pony with her own kind of magic that is unique to her, she’s got some sort of celestial power linked to her element, i like to imagine next to twilight, she has the most powerful magical presence when it comes to friendship 

-the idea of applejack being so curt, rowdy, and a big liar as a child actually makes me ship appledash a bit more? it’s like that scene from brooklyn nine nine where Jake finds out Holt was like a huge reckless badass as a younger man and Jake says “i think i’d like young Holt” and Holt is like “yeah that’s why i changed everything about myself” 

like... that scene but with a teenage rainbowdash and applejack

as kids i bet they’d be so rowdy and make a huge mess and maybe as AJ gets older there’s a bit of a drift between them that’s where i like to put in like... @ask-human-appletrash ‘s headcanons of like Dash running off with Gilda to pursue a more damaging life style with danger and drugs and stuff and when Gilda hurts Dash she comes back to AJ and the Apples for help and they’re more than happy to take her in and help her get back on track again...

-twilight! has! issues! with! her! parents!!!!!!!!!i need to rewatch one upon a zeppelin bc there’s stuff in that that helps my case but i am actually in the middle of writing a short comic of how i view twilight’s relationship with her parents (mostly her mom), which is Not Greati mean both twilight and shining armour were shipped off to boarding schools at incredibly young ages, and yeah sure both of them are big achievers but they’re still kids when this happensi just have this feeling like twilight’s inability to reach out to others and her need to keep studying isn’t just a character choice, but also the only thing she’s ever been taught (which is supported by canon bc... twilight needs to learn about friendship)like imagine having parents who actively push you to pursue studies rather than a normal childhood with friends and ... stuffthe once upon a zeppelin thing is like, twilight just wants one chance to feel like she’s in a normal family where she gets to do something *she* likes and she doesn’t get thati just imagine like... how many times that has happened in twilight’s life with her parents 

-spike is trans, he’s my good good trans boy who wants to explore his femininity in a way that doesnt invalidate his trans identity rarity is happy to dress him up and twilight is always actively validating his gender identity by giving him “boy’s nights” and actively calling him a boy or a guy 

-this isnt a headcanon but big mac spike and discord are BIG FRIENDS, AND I LOVE THEIR FRIENDSHIPdiscord is a big BPD baby who needs reassurance and has difficulty with his feelings when it comes to others but big mac is a pretty patient dude, who’s learned a lot in his life and knows to just quietly go along with discordspike just takes no shit and i JUST LOVE THIS DYNAMIC i want 100 more episodes with these three

dungeons and discords is such a fun episode and the break up break down hsa quickly become one of my fav episodes ever

thank u my love <3333

1. what was the first tv show you remember loving?

dora the explorer!! i was obsessed with dora to the point where i had a dora dollhouse and all the members of her family and i got upset that i was missing like her abuela or someone bc the family should be together. my mom took me to a dora live show. i think my fourth or fifth birthday was dora themed. i had matching merch with my best friend. the only spanish i remember from it is “cuidado” and “vamanos” but like i figure i got enough for emergency situations lmao

11. what tv character can you most relate to?

this is going to sound so fucking weird because like when you lay out the facts we are Nothing alike but right now? steve fuckin harrington!!! for a very specific reason though!!! growing up i always kind of went along with whatever the cool or popular or “normal” people were doing and i wanted to be like them. i’ve never had the greatest social skills, i’ve always been very overenthusiastic, and i have a tendency to care very deeply and intensely about people who see me as a casual friend at best. as a kid i did and said a lot of really mean things that i didn’t really think about at the time, but looking back i’m really ashamed of my behavior. part of it was my parents’ conservative beliefs that i’d internalized, and part of it was the kids i chose to be friends with and idolize. it wasn’t until i started surrounding myself with better people and realizing that i couldn’t change what was different about me that i started being a better person. and it was a conscious effort!! i know that i can be very cruel and i actively choose kindness every day. seeing a character like steve realize his wrongdoing, own up to it, and make the deliberate choice to change and be better really resonated with me.

20. what tv moment makes you cry every time?

in all honesty im not sure that i have a good answer for this!!! i’ve cried at so many different moments in different shows, and i usually only rewatch comedies that i know won’t make me cry. i cry at literally every single episode of xena. there’s like a billion moments from stranger things that make me cry. the most notable Moment for me in tv recently is the scene from season two of one day at a time, where elena confronts her father over his homophobia and his abandonment of her. elena alvarez is probably the tv character i relate to the most technically, we have a LOT of similarities, but... i can’t explain my heart!!!

Still doing the asks?^^ What are you favorite moments in canon?

I’m ALWAYS doing asks!! But I gotta say you GOT ME WITH THIS ONE FLORA THIS IS HARD FOR ME. That being said I’ve decided to stick with Crystal, since that is where my heart lies in this fandom. This took me a while and it’s gonna be IN DEPTH. I will start from the beginning (might be slightly out of order)

• The moment they first meet. You know what I mean• When Usagi first meets Ami! I love when she first meets all the Senshi and I’ll explain why individually. When Usagi first meets Ami she immediately notices how shy and reserved she is and works to bring her out of her shell and I LOVE that!! She so willing to invite her to hang out even after just meeting her moments before.• “That Cat was talking to you just now wasn’t it”• When Usagi gets heart eyes the first time she’s sees Rei and FOLLOWS her because she thinks she’s THAT pretty• THE BUS SCENE I LOVE THE BUS SCENE TOP TEN USAGI/MAMO MOMENTS. Since Usagi has been shown to blush every time she meets Mamo-Chan early on, I think this is really the first time we see them interact normally. And I LOVE IT • “Are you in middle school too?” “No, I’m a high school student” *whips out ID* • When Usagi defends Rei after she gets accused of the disappearances• That moment when Jadeite can’t figure out why he’s so attracted to an unconscious Rei• The entirety of Masquerade Dance Party. 10/10 my favorite episode in Crystal AND the Original anime, this is the ep that solidified that I NEEDED to invest myself in this story. Literally pulled out of my fantasy dreams • That moment at the end of the same ep when we see Mako-Chan for the first time with her ADORABLE umbrella• When Usagi is stalking Mako-Chan from the tree and sneaks up behind her bench and sees her cute bento and decides she MUST be friends with her. She sees through this tough exterior that everyone talks about and promptly decides to befriend her • When Tuxedo Mask appears in Usagi’s bedroom window to get her to save the day• When Nephrite is like I’ve seen this look before right as he gets ATTACKED• When Usagi bumps into Mamoru on the street and he’s SO clearly attracted to her and Mako-Chan is like USAGI ARE YOU BLUSHING afterwards• When Usagi almost passes out in the street and Tuxedo Mask just HAPPENS to be there and gives her the most romantic pep talk ever• And proceeds to bring her back to his apartment after the battle• The whole reveal scene(which you rewrote amazingly in Ikigai I might add)• When Usagi is kissing the pocket watch and Mamoru is kissing the handkerchief • “I want you Usako” • VENUS VENUS VENUS• Usagi is SO star struck when she meets Sailor V and is even more thrilled that she’s her Princess!!!• And Usagi assures her that she doesn’t have to fight alone anymore• The moment in the park where Mamoru is so ashamed that he can’t even LOOK at Usagi and then winks at her, “Yeah, next time”• The kiss before Sailor Moon was 100% ready to give her life to save her friends(then you know what happened)• I’m ashamed to say I love to hate the moment where Sailor Moon just starts screaming painfully after Tuxedo Mask is DEAD I cry without fail every time• SERENITYS FIRST APPEARANCE •FLASHBACKS IM A SUCKER FOR THE FLASHBACKS• “I descended to that planet, time and time again, just hoping to catch glimpses of him”(officially my favorite quote in the series)•When the Shitennou can’t figure out why they recognize Tuxedo Mask• When Venus reminds the girls that they too, at one point, had been in love• When the Shitennou REMEMBER THEIR PASTS• The entire final battle with Queen Metallia, where Usagi uses all her power to defeat her with Mamo-Chan right behind her the whole time• The Senshi giving their lives so Usagi might save them all• The girls reunion on the bridge after the battle!!• The park scene where Usagi gives him back his pocket watch and Mamo-Chan gives her back her handkerchief • When Chibiusa tries to cheer up Usagi after some of the girls were kidnapped• Skipping ahead, PLUTOS FIRST APPEARANCE I LOVE PLUTO• The way you think Pluto is gonna be mad at Chibiusa for time traveling but is then just relieved to see her alive and well• Seeing Diana for the first time!! I love that kitten!!• The way Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask are so utterly CONFUSED to see future versions of themselves • That awkward moment when they realize Chibiusa is in fact their daughter • Skipping ahead again, FIRST APPEARANCE OF HARUKA AND MICHIRU(aka the Hot couple)• When Usagi and Mamo-Chan are kinda having relationship issues and don’t end up talking about it until Chibiusa makes them both stay at his apartment to help her with a project • When Chibiusa PRETENDS to be asleep Bc she KNOWS they need to talk• The three of them sleeping in the same bed • Pluto’s EPIC comeback “My name is Setsuna Meiou, nice to meet you” (no joke I SCREAMED when I first saw the end of that ep!!) And her just jumping into battle in the next ep• Usagi just wanting all the Sailor Guardians to fight together • SUPER SAILOR MOON• Usagi literally jumping into the abyss to save the world• At the end of Episode 39 when the girls are all excited for high school and there’s that REALLY pretty animation with the cherry blossoms

And I think that just about covers it! I love this show so dearly and I’m currently rewatching it AGAIN. I seriously cannot wait until we get the rest of this series so I may ADD to this list. Thanks for the ask Flora!

[angelblumes]

food ment. Helllooooooo ugh would you like me to beat her up perhaps end up like her namesake, og mischa?(jk im not a (cannibal)) time to bust out the therapy voice tho , you will find your people and they will love you. Ok. ok wtf is happening? are we like the same person or something? wellbutrin buddies ❤ my room needs to be clean and moved the whole sha bang but I cant😔 life needs to be lived and such. I hope you arrived safely and happily and that everything is slightly better for you than it was last message and that you didn't get too carsick. my power went out today for like 3 seconds everything turned off everything , it usually takes alot for that to happen for my house just because its old and other reasons that I dont actually know. I've had a jam out session yesterday, it was so relaxing 😌 🙌 danced my little heart out to them guys I told you about. There's something abt the murders in hannibal that just does it for me... the artistry of it all. I love it when we talk outside of the 5 daily things too!!! hey, did you get that 'you're so mature for your age' as a kid or 'you've got an old soul' ? whats ur thoughts on that? I personally cant really imagine saying that to a kid maybe its a generational thing? ok 🙄😁 I like commentary ive been watching reactions? on youtube its a guilty pleasure, also I've been getting into some reality tv. Wife swap is crazy I love it alot and then the dating ones because ofc. whats one of the 1st reality show you remember watching and not hating? Honey Boo Boo and I Am Jaz (I think?) were my top two choices of reality. maybe a rewatch is in order for me. ok daily things um a guitar got brought into my house today i... its very.. it made me weirdly happy I love music and its instruments. thank goodness tbh my med were just a little later than usual, the pharmacy gave me emergency 3 days for they can figure out whats up because this is the second time we are having the same problem 😅 I had the best brownie of my life, it was store bought but like from the bakery fav dessert. I got this "new" shirt on so comfy, its tie dyed splattered different blues with an astronaut and nasa logo in white, its cute but also like 3? sizes too big (its a hand me down) dont worry abt the guy if a next time happens ill be ready for it 💪 it will go down, I personally know the man's family I will ruin his life if it comes down to it (we live in a town idk if it's small)or realistically just sic my family onto him. I found out my cousin has a gf now and is apparently very much happier than she was with her ex man (who made awesome cheesecake btw off topic tho) gay people stay winning, I did not know she was not straight tho so happy little surprise 😁 jeez its a lot of words uh I hope you're doing good and you had a good sleep and other nice stuff happen to you and you had a good trip🌷🤟🤙❤

HELPPP u are an angel. thank u❤️. and right exactly. normalize thinking fictional murders are artistic or something . thinkin abt how i used to think criminal minds murders were interesting but never had the right words so i'd just be like "woah he *kills them weirdly*? cool"😭. BUT YEAH i did get that all the time omfg "ur so mature for ur age!!" like thanks it's because i have issues and problems 💀....hmm i hate reality tv HAHA. this gc i'm in was just talking abt wife swap the other day how crazy !! idk if i've EVER liked reality tv .... i like watching commentary abt it (like uhh cody ko's stuff) but watching it myself... nope😭. daily things lets see!!! i went to the baltimore aquarium:) i was exhausted tho. saw that a tiktoker i like (hello fem will graham cosplayers...) went there a few days before me. how funny! i wish we had met and fallen in love or something. i went to bed at 5pm yesterday and slept til 3am. then went back to sleep from 6am to 10am. i think my new adhd/anxiety meds are the cause. sadly. cuz they work! but by making me too tired to be nervous or start thinking too much🥲. i'm tired 24/7 already and thats not helping LOL! i had this fancy meal ok multiple fancy meals and it was really nice. i got chesapeake chicken (haha like chesapeake ripper am i right?!?) and it had crab but i'm crazy i'm crazy i didn't eat the crab. the texture was soooo bad. anyway at another place i got a burger bc i'm lame i don't eat seafood (besides shrimp. which i am allergic to.) and i ate almost the whole thing and my friends mom said she was proud of me😭❤️. i always feel so guilty after eating a lot and that made me feel good. i've started watching more vampire video game play throughs. what can i say. vampire masquerade: bloodlines did something to my brain where i like vampire games now. it's the same guy which is cool. i dont like finding new youtubers becuz i've never kept up w whose problematic or not... like what if i get really into someone and mention it and someone's like oh yeah he preys on women. wtf. like umm cry? is he a youtuber? is he evil? cuz i was looking for a pathologic gameplay and he had one and i was like hmm... he sounds familiar. he has probably done something ? maybe? mm lastly.... i read this hunger games hannibal crossover WEEKS AGO but it's just still on my mind. i don't particularly love the hunger games but it's only bc i don't really know a lot abt it. i enjoy it but i've only seen the movies and read the first book (until rue died. never picked it up again after that! i cried a lottttt) and there's like an absurd amount of hannibal crossovers. i guess bc hannibal would totally rule in the hunger games. like come on a CANNIBAL? the uh.. capitol? they'd go crazyyyy for that. the fic itself wasn't even that groundbreaking or anything i have a lot of criticism for it tbh but it opened my brain to the concept. i have another one opened in a tab but it's super long so i haven't made much headway. i want one where it's like.... the one where the old winners come back for a game! and then they escape😈. but in the one i read will and hannibal sort of just escape anyway in a normal hunger game. like ok cool but i don't think that's plausible. but then how would it work ? like could will win a game on his own? maybe i should write my own fic. but then i'd have to understand what happens in the hunger games /j. ugh ok i was thinking abt that one scene where idk they do the little hand signal thing and drag katniss away and go to shut the door like right as they shoot that guy in the head. THAT WAS SO CRAZY. or when katniss shoots the lady instead of president snow and then everyone just descends on him💀 i feel like there's a level of nuance and understanding that i just don't have so i say "woah! cool :)" i hope ur doing well too ily❤️❤️💗

[uniformbravo]

ok here are some of my Actual s2 thoughts (voltron spoilers below)

so back when i first watched s1 i guess i wasn’t totally 100% into it?? i dont remember if i ever really talked abt it on here but i remember being a little confused and trying to figure out why it was so popular bc i honestly didn’t think it was that great but idk i must’ve warmed up to it at some point between then and now bc i was way more into it this time around aaaaa

i rly did like s2 better than s1 tho??? idk maybe it’s just bc it’s new so it’s the hype of new content & everything but dang overall i do feel like i enjoyed it more

i rly like the art style and especially the animation style like this is probably just me coming to this show straight from lolirock but like... while lolirock has a really appealing art style im honestly not a fan of the type of animation they use so it felt really nice to come back to like. hand-drawn stuff idk just! voltron is a v visually appealing show in all aspects god bless

everyone is still super trans wow i can’t believe every character is trans

tbh i love shiro? but it’s weird bc i actually think he’s rly boring when it comes to his “leadership” kind of characteristics but like also he suffers a lot and gets a lot of the plot-heavy development and normally i might be annoyed by that but im just...... so weak

also speakin of shiro there was a lot of shiro/keith this season and like..... ok im gonna be honest i dont rly ship them or anything like at all im not too keen on the two of them that way but this person i follow has this au where they’re brothers and imagining them that way made me enjoy their scenes like 100% more so like Good Shit (but tbh keith saying “you’re like a brother to me” or was it maybe “father” i can’t remember but either way that line killed me pls i want them to have a rly strong platonic bond i want shiro to feel rly protective of keith and i want keith to feel safer around shiro aaaaa i love it so much)

pidge starting to adopt altean terms and phrases fucking killed me dude like with the time vocabulary n shit, even the others started picking it up a little bit it’s So Fucking Good im so happy aaaaaAA

i still love keith and lance i hope they never calm down w/ each other and keep fighting forever bye (like rewatching s1 when lance is like “yOU AGAIN” and keith is like “who are u” hfhdgd gOD that was so GOOD)

a lot of the character development was rly good but tbh im a little disappointed by the lack thereof when it came to lance and hunk like ?? at this point they’re still treated like the Joke Characters for the most part, i mean lance did have his one little moment of glory in that one episode but i would really love to see like. an actual full character arc w/ him. and i know hunk did have some stuff in s1 w/ like the balmerans & shae but this season it felt like he was just kinda pushed aside and i mean the same could be said of pidge, who did have a lot of story in s1 but barely anything in s2, so maybe i’m just being a little impatient lol i mean. if u take a step back and lay it all out, s1 focused on shiro, pidge, allura, and a little bit of hunk, and then s2 focused on shiro and keith, so maybe s3 (idk if it’s even confirmed yet but like hypothetically) will focus on lance and hunk more? and probably shiro again tbh  i mean it doesn’t really feel like anything’s been set up to go into a lance or hunk arc, but at the same time there wasn’t really any setup for keith’s whole s2 thing in s1 either, so there’s still the possibility that it could all happen in s3 but like. with the way s2 went and the unanswered questions it left about keith i can see s3 being very keith-centric, not to mention all the reminders we got about pidge’s whole family issue this season, so s3 will probably focus on that a lot too idk i mean at the end of the day they are pretty short seasons, it makes sense that they can only focus on a select few characters at a time, so i feel like at this point it makes sense to just sit back and wait to see what happens, & then if hunk and lance are still kind of shoved aside w/ nary even a mere setup then wtf actually

not to keep running w/ the negativity & criticisms but honestly what i really love in a show is complex characters written realistically and w/ voltron i feel like it /almost/ delivers but not really? like, not to bring up lolirock again but that show has fairly one-dimensional characters who are written relying more on their character type than anything with a ton of depth; the protagonists are Good and the antagonists are Evil; auriana is the goofball, talia is the responsible one, iris is the main character or the “pure good” one, mephisto is the clumsy villain, praxina is the irritable villain- like it’s all just very straightforward (most of the time). i feel like voltron is a little more complex with its characters than lolirock, but in the end it still kind of sticks to the same method of characterization; it’s definitely not as cookie-cutter, but each character does have one or two characteristics that blatantly stick out and make them.... i dont know, really predictable? like you Know that every time a girl shows up lance is gonna hit on her, and every time there’s some cool technology pidge is gonna fawn over it and every time there’s food hunk is gonna say some shit about being hungry, and keith and lance argue a lot and shiro gets the team’s shit together because he’s the Leader and it’s just like basically, with voltron it feels very “telling” rather than “showing” with most things, and besides manifesting in the story it shows in the way the characters are written, too. in most situations, the characters’ reactions are written based more on those few main characteristics they’ve been given than more realistic reactions to their current situation, and maybe that’s a little confusing but i’ll try to clarify actually im sorry but i just completely lost my train of thought and i can’t get it back, it’s currently coming up on 1am and im incredibly tired right now so i’m gonna have to cut this short but like. basically, the characters in voltron kind of have their main characteristics and it’s fine to have things like that bc it helps define characters but the way the writers use them feels a lot like those hogwarts house sorting quizzes that are like “what’s your favorite animal? a) lion b) snake c) raven d) badger” like it tends to be relatively straightforward and predictable in a bad way, and a lot of that execution has to do with the storytelling style the show has overall

ok ANYWAY let’s say something more positive now: the soundtrack to this show is absolutely phenomenal tbh i remember thinking this last time too, just the general sound it has, it feels like an homage to the older series and acts as a subtle way to bring that kind of aesthetic into it and i rly like it (i mean i’ve never seen the old show so idk what kind of aesthetic it has but u know what i mean. the kind of “old video tape sound” kind of thing. u know the game oxenfree, which has a similar music aesthetic. god idk how to explain this i hope u know what i’m trying to say. i rly like voltron’s soundtrack)

like i didnt mean to go on this big rant all “here’s everything i didn’t like abt voltron what a Bad Show” bc i actually really like it a lot!! the fact that im picking it apart like this is actually a good sign that i like it bc if i dont care abt something i won’t put in the effort, u know? if i don’t like it then i won’t be all “here’s what i hope to see from this show in the future” right

anyway it’s fuckin 1am bye, i love voltron goodnight
