Charlie using Vaggie's name, instead of a pet name or nickname, just really starts hitting hard on re-watch, knowing Vaggie is gonna spend the season getting constantly:

nick-named (not in ways she likes)

accidentally dead named (whoops...)

deliberately dead named (thanks to the first dick)

have her name completely ignored (in favor of just insulting her)

have her name completely miss-heard (tfw your girlfriend's dad calls you "Maggie" and you're just glad he doesn't hate you)

OR have her name changed to make it sound more like a 'normal' and 'proper' name (Vagatha)

even taking in how several characters are chronic nick namers or "descriptor nouners" (purple female) there's that contrast of Vaggie who's always using people's names (except when calling her gf stuff like babe / sweetie / honey, but even then she uses "charlie" just as often), even with people she HATES (first dick) and STILL she almost NEVER hears her own name in return

then there's Charlie... and she seems more the type to use cute endearments, between the two of them, but she doesn't

she always goes with "Vaggie", and

it just gives the mental image of Vaggie first introducing herself like "Yeah that's really my name. Trust me, my old one was even worse" and Charlie just dead serious outraged "!!!! Vaggie is a BEAUTIFUL name I LOVE your name it's the prettiest name I've EVER heard and I'm going to say it EVERY chance I get, Vaggie!! Vaggie vaggie vaggie VAGGIE"

like, with or without that, it feels so sweet hearing Charlie say Vaggie's name so easily and matter of fact throughout the show. seriously or excitedly or full of hearts eyes, worried or relieved...

on re-watch it FEELS like a relief for me

There's at least one person who gets Vaggie's name right every time, doesn't joke about it, who seems to honestly like saying it

and of course it's her long term demon hell girlfriend. of course it is~

My friends who have never experienced flooding, and who are about to deal with it from this storm, please remember:

1. NO. YOU CANNOT MAKE IT THROUGH THAT WATER ON THE ROAD. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU'RE DRIVING. TURN. AROUND.

2. DO NOT GO WADING THROUGH THE WATER. EVEN IF YOU JUST WANT TO SEE HOW DEEP IT IS. THAT. WATER. IS. CONTAMINATED.

3. IT IS CALLED FLASH FLOODING FOR A REASON. THE WATER RISES AND SURGES IN A FLASH. STAY. HOME.

4. If you're at risk of flooding, raise up any of your belongings now. Put the legs of tall things in buckets. Know where your important documents are.

5. Stay safe.

There's something hilarious about how so much subsequent media has positioned Vampires and Werewolves as, like, binary opposite entities, and then you read Dracula (1897) and realize that wolves are that guy's preferred solution to every problem. You'd say something to Dracula about "ah yes, werewolves, vampires' great eternal enemies," and he'd just be like "you mean my subcontractors?"

I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery

feeling very frustrated about the ways people are talking about hurricane Milton. lots of needless, borderline fear mongering language with very little actual helpful information.

information about Milton that might ACTUALLY be helpful:

Hurricane Milton is shaping up to be the third strongest hurricane ever recorded.

Make sure you have an evacuation plan if the order is given or if you've already been told to leave.

there is also a code for free Ubers to evacuate effected counties, as well as shuttles from evacuating counties to nearby storm shelters

Prepare/secure your home

Find your nearest shelter and be prepared to leave

If you want to stay in the loop about the hurricane, WESH 2 News has ongoing coverage ad-free on YouTube.

General resources/information:

Please for the love of God stop preying on people's fears and causing panic. Know what resources are available to you and how to access them. If you approach this hurricane carefully YOU WILL BE OKAY!!!!! YOUR LIFE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE RUINED!!!

Please link other resources you find or think other people might find useful!
