there's something to be said about the choice to use "prince" as the main signifier of military rank for the andalites. because it kinda obscures the truth of the situation, doesn't it? a group of kids getting magic powers from an alien prince sounds whimsical and delightful. a group of kids getting pulled into a war by an alien colonel sounds tragic and horrible. the slow reveal of what "prince" actually means over the course of the early books is perhaps the most underrated twist of the entire series, because it fundamentally recontextualizes the entire premise of the series without the reader even consciously realizing it.

Annabeth, and others, often treat Percy as if he’s ridiculous or obtuse for his reactions to the demigod world, when in reality he’s a (relatively) well adjusted kid who was raised by a loving parent. His actions make sense based on his upbringing

- parents arent supposed to be neglectful

- parents are supposed to be easily attainable, loving, and present in a child’s life

- if you’re in trouble, you should call for help, there isn’t shame in admitting you’re in over your head, you’re twelve

- you shouldn’t have to jump through life endangering hoops to get your parent’s attention

Annabeth acts like he’s ridiculous, but he’s right. Annabeth knows how the Greek world works, but Percy knows how the real world is supposed to work. & rightfully calls out the BS. But it’s hard for most demigods to agree because what kid wants to admit the way their parents treat them is awful? That their actions are those of aloof, negligent, even narcisstic people who are unwilling or incapable of giving the proper love and support a child needs. That even if their godly parent does love them, it’s a pathetic, horrible, attempt at love you’re better off without.

What’s your dream cannon scene?

There’s no way I could get them all - I’m sorry if your favorite isn’t here. Please don’t yell at me.

I excluded newer shows because they haven’t been as limited about who they write as queer.

Gem and Etho are from the same snowy mountain village, and it was his footsteps she followed in when she left her home behind to join the royal army in search of something greater.

Etho never wanted to be a solider, he only did it to protect his home and his family.

For as long as she could remember, all Gem has ever wanted was to be a knight, to be the strongest and the greatest.

Gem has no idea that Etho is the same knight that inspired her when she was young, his appearance and mannerisms much too different for her to make the connection.

Etho knows exactly who she is. All he can see when they cross paths is the little girl who followed him around the village with a wooden sword. He hates what she has become.

you ever just have a lot, a LOT of feelings all at once about a character and not even remotely enough words or brainpower to FORM the words to describe everything you're feeling. so it feels like you may explode. yeah

I feel like "dating" izana would probably feel more like taking care of a stray cat for the first few months. He's very aloof and probaby doesn't really enjoy physical contact unless he's the one initiating it. He also seems the type to just ghost you for days only to turn up in the middle of the night with bandages on him before he slumps into your arms, exhausted. Though if you point out the similarities hed probaby just scoff at you and call you weird or something.

He also has sharp senses so he'll notice if you smell different than usual or he'll hear your quiet sighs. Unwittingly he memorizes how gentle your touch feels and leans into it without realizing only for the spell to be broken and he once again retreats into his usual cold facade.

Madoka is the promise you won't turn from a child, full of hopes and dreams and the wish to save the world, into a bitter adult who just wants to hurt others and ruin people's lives

Madoka promised to be there for you to remind you of the person you wanted to be and to stop you from becoming what you sought to destroy

Madoka made that promise and became the very embodiment of it

It is WILD to me that GMMTV is fielding OffGun AND TayNew in the same quarter

That Last Twilight is airing AS WELL

That they optioned 3 JBLs

That The Sign is up there licking kicking ass and taking names (and Saint is behind it!)

That there's a high heat omegaverse BL staring Pavel

That there are 20 BLs airing right now and none of them Korean.

With 5 VAMPIRE BLs announced for next year

Thailand legit looked at 2023 and thought "yeah but we could make it worse better weirder"

i feel like its important to say this:

if a previous winner wins again, don't get upset.

yes, it's probably unlikely---realistically the previous winners are all just shooting for "as long as possible" but have no real desire to win (and/or have specific people they want to win. ex.: Pearl wants Impulse to win, Scar wants Jimmy to win). there is also a chance that if a previous winner would accidentally win and the cc's could then choose to redo certain aspects (like how they used to veto some deaths in the past, ex.: Scar's extra death[s] in 3rd Life).

but it could still happen, and, in fact, under normal circumstances (the cc's not being influenced by the fandom), would be more likely to happen. whether for this season (Wild Life), or the next, a previous winner can still win, and i would hate to see an onslaught of upset comments about it, because its very likely that the cc's WILL see it. many of them use Tumblr and Twitter, many of them read their YT comments. it's already happened with people getting upset at Pearl, Scott, and Cleo or Scar and Grian teaming "too much."

don't let a previous winner winning again stop you from being creative---think about the potential for angst. why did they win again? to save their friends? for their own selfish gain? did they not want to win, was it an accident? what happens because they won again?

again, it's unlikely a previous winner will win again, but i do worry (if this series continues into more seasons) for the day it does happen, and that the fandoms insistence on a "new winner" every time, another planet to add to the solar system, will cause it to blow up in our faces
