What other people imagine it feels like:

What it actually feels like:

[upslapmeal]

"but Pyramids of Mars established that Sut-" my friend this is the three-separate-explanations-for-Atlantis show, as far as I'm concerned they can have a free-for-all when it comes to real-world mythology

"but they're ruining the canon!!" buddy I got good news for you, Doctor Who canon is a buffet and you don't have to eat anything you don't want to

Handsomest girl in the whole wide world

Oh my goddddddddd

Genuinely the cutest frame in the entire show

[jelliebeanbitch]

i think filmmakers just see ruby cruz and black out and wake up with a fully-formed well-written butch heartthrob in their script and they have no idea how it happened

[kittybuckets]

Okay but you have no idea how much I want to see a crossover where Ruby has to deal with the standard ‘first-year philosophy student who just learned what nihilism is’-brand of anime villain who does the typical ‘the world is mean and bad’ cynicism shtick that generally sends your average friendly-optimist hero into an existential crisis…

…only for Ruby “Well that’s why we’re here. To make it better” Rose to just casually blow that shit off without a second thought and give said villain serious genre-whiplash.

Or better yet, give said villain an actual rebuttal deconstructing that viewpoint that they clearly were NOT expecting to deal with.

And yeah, yeah, the expected outcome might be for Ruby to reach out and empathize with the villain and induce some kind of redemption.

But I think it would be WAY more fun to see Ruby completely flip the script and just BRUTALLY deconstruct said villain’s whole cynical worldview just like said villain would typically do to anyone else. While perhaps also giving them a brutal ass-kicking.

Or, especially if this is a Post-Volume 9 Ruby, the villain does some mindreading-BS and is just utterly shocked at how much shit Ruby has been through and leaves his whole cynical worldview utterly and existentially BAFFLED and unhinged that all this didn’t turn her into a villain in a ‘Why are you not like me?!!!’ breakdown.

Basically, both Ruby’s and the show’s Defiant Optimism does not get nearly enough appreciation and I really want to see a more standard anime-villain get completely wrecked by it.

Hearing a song that reminds you of f/o while in public space

[veshialles]

[closes door] oh my.. the puppygirls and the kittygirls.... it appears they are... oh my word..... dear gods...... good heavens..

Man can you imagine if they'd played into Ruby's love of weapons when she meets Penny. I don't mean this in a "ruby only thinking of penny as a weapon" angle. But in Ruby specifically getting very excited to learn about penny and what she can do. Ruby being so intensely supportive and loving to Penny that it starts to actually cause Penny herself to gain comfort in who and what she is.

Us meeting penny in volume 7 who is satisfied with her life and eager to show Ruby her new upgrades. Dragging ruby around her father's shop to show all the things he works on. Eagerly rambling about the capabilities of the people within atlas.

Just, Penny and Ruby making each other feel seen and understood.
