Very saddened that at the end of it all, Pidge fell into the secondary girl trope. Ya know, not conventionally beautiful or feminine, so any crush she has is treated as a joke. And DW gave of "the pretty girl can't pursue a guy without them turning out evil" trope AGAIN, she has to be pursued for it to be good. Toph's crush on Sokka and Zuko- joke. Ruffnut's crush on Eret- joke. Katara's crush on Jet- villain. Allura's crush on Lotor- "v i l l a i n".

You know, now that I think about it, why are there even secondary girl tropes like these? Beauty is the eye of the beholder. Imagine how much of an impact it would have been if Toph was the one who managed to have a loving relationship at the end. A blind girl who chose to give up her royal status, became the very first metal-bender champion, and truly understood that her looks did not matter as long as she knew herself? She did not have to prove herself to anyone because she knew she was already the best. 

I honestly thought she would have made a better lead female role than Katara, but for some reason, “good stories” always start with dead parents. Guess problematic ones, such as Toph’s who infantilized her because of her disability and still did not believe she was capable of being independent when she knocked out all the reigning champions in that wrestling rink, are the best secondary parent trope writers can think of. 

In any case, I have not seen LoK so I do not really know all the details. She has a family though, as far as I remember, so there is some happy ending for her.

How will Anne friendship with Sprig and Polly chance? Will Anne still have strong friendship with Sprig. Or will it be different as Sprig is more mature and has less time to get up with wacky adventures as he a farm to run. With Polly will she be protecting sister.

heres entry #983264932 of sprite loses filter and goes insane

she and sprig still have the closest bond like in canon! though whereas sprig looked up to her like an older sister, anne looks up (down, lol) to him as an older bro. and while the hero stuff will probably still happen, ("you're my little ugly hero!" LMFAO) i wont be surprised if anne sees him as her own personal hero too. sprigs a good older bro >:) and he gives his lil siblings praises and compliments as much as he can (with the usual ribbing and teasing here and there) and anne just really likes hanging out w him in general. i imagine thered be a lot of moment where she displays habits from her previous friendships, and sprig will eventually untie those knots in his own way without outright telling her about them. he gets super protective of her, in a way thats more than just keeping her away from the monsters thatd gobble them up

polly and anne is a really good duo for me to overthink about in this au hehe. their relationship is really rocky at the start !!! kinda like in canon w anne and hp, but less in the sense of tradition vs new, and more of the i dont trust a monster being in this house and ill be watching you closely so youd better behave. normally anne would deal by not,,, really doing anything about it, bc what can you do? (cries in how she hadnt realized she'd experienced xenophobia back at home) but you can only live under the same roof w a person that hates u for so long, and, like in canon w her and the rest of wartwood, anne would get frustrated and get prompted to do dumb stuff to get on pollys good side. argument sparks, 'why do you hate me so much?' then something slips about the family losing their parents. yada yada drama (my heart is hurtingg thinking about this i hate evrythgin) and anne just... drops it. ig. it hurts her a bit to see that polly thinks she would harm them, but w what they went through she'd understand why. this is getting too long now so ill just say these two grow close to each other :') and polly would grow fond and pretty protective of her too.

now theres the case of these two betraying anne by hiding the music box. separated this in its own section bc this is just a whole 'nother can of worms to open, lmfao. i think theyd be a little more nuanced than burying it in their backyard, in what way im not sure but like... yeah. i think it just stings a lot for anne when she finds out they did what they did. it reopens old wounds of how polly didnt trust her. and when they tell her the full story, this time with the herons and how they were out of town, then it happens just like in canon. scenarios are pretty much the same as in the first temple :') this time sprigs too busy worrying over how to deal with it and beg for annes forgiveness to think clearly, and polly... kinda lets her temper get the best of her at times. couple these two w anne struggling w her own feelings about it all, then yeah. THEYRES SUCH A BIG MESS I LOVE THEM SO MUCH <333333
