On their way to school for their daily dose of teasing their grade captain like kids embarrassing their parents

Sakura is not amused.

Oh boy wonder what’s on the channels tonight-

Huh a gameshow with a totally mentally sane TV head host and not at all captive actors onboard? Seems like a great watch can’t imagine it’ll accumulate into something gone awry :3

Oh yeah and this was the “work in progress” photo taken earlier before SMG4 cast was included. Elusive bonus feature content on the DVD behind the scenes Mr. Puzzles only edition I suppose

See, it's less about whether or not Willow is the braincell, and more about the fact that Willow likes taking care of her friends and looking out for them. It's both a source of self esteem and worth for her (she feels useful and competent if she's helping others) AND it's her main way of expressing her gratitude and affection for her friends presence in her life. They make her happy so she's gonna keep them safe and out of harms way. Plus most of her friends (sans hunter) have a history of looking out for her that, as much as she appreciates, she'd rather not return to. She likes her independence and she likes her new role in the friend group, she doesn't want to take steps back.

Sometimes this Need To Help manifests as magical outbursts that may not be great strategic moves (when she thinks Hunters been kidnapped in coth). Sometimes it manifests as scolding and steering in the right direction (her with Gus in something ventured) but ultimately letting them make their own choices. Ultimately Willows the sort of person to do whatever she thinks is right in the given situation for the people around her. When she can summon it, she has a lot of wisdom for her age (seen in the scene w/ her getting everyone to share food on the airship in king's tide). And if she can't summon it, she'll still try and do whatever seems right in the moment (gives hunter the pic of flapjack) and just problem solve as the day goes on until someone feels better, goddamit! <- this is the kinda moment that leads to rash decisions, bottling her feelings and burning out bc she really doesn't wanna fail due to her history and self esteem issues. It's why Hunter comforting her works so well in ftf and completely shifts their dynamic. She finally has confirmation that someone who loves her won't love her any less when she fucks up, but I digress.

Willows always looking out for others, and sometimes she's dumb about it, sometimes she's smart about it! It depends on who she's helping, why they need help and what kind of day she's had/where she is. Thanks to Them showed Willow in a pretty stable situation, hence there's extra room for silliness. For the future was following extremely distressing events and put even more stresses on Willow herself. Hence she bottles things up and struggles to make the good decisions she was once able to. It's not like she became a worse leader or friend since asias or king's tide (episodes that take time to include small moments of her playing to people's strengths, doing good strategy, making sure no one's left behind, etc). She's just having a really garbage fucking day.

She's probably only gonna get 1 Moment™ or so in the finale bc she had her day in ftf and I'm content with that, but I was rewatching asias where she DOES take on a responsible leadership role (while still maintaining her whole "blossoming wallflower/crouching underdog hidden badass" thing) and it reminded me of the small contained debate that happened around thanks to thems airing. Because yes, Willow and Gus were Goofy™ that ep, but a) they were literally comic relief in season 1 + 2A, it kinda has precedent and b) Willow is only as sensible as the situation calls for her and as her environment allows. She's nuanced like that!

instead of listening to a banger of a no skip album, you all are out here having a discourse about something that's not even valid in this case. just listen to the album and enjoy how hard it slaps

[casinoquartet]

are you jokinggggg an iconic piece of architecture in my city (not good but iconic anyways) was bought up and slated for demo to build condos and now the project is on hold because the housing market is bad. yayyyy more abandoned buildings downtown yayyyyy trying to build luxury condos when there’s a tent city in every park in the city yayyyy closing local businesses instead of trying economic reinvigoration strategies only for the former site of those local businesses to sit vacant for probably years yayyyy no consequences for developers

"What a brave lady she is! Yes! My best friend! Well- my only friend - but still the best!"

[newvision]

I’m a little wine drunk but I literally looooove life life is amazing!!! My friends are so cool and there’s music and books and so many nice people

[mysteriouslyjellyfish]

okay (not so) hot take, it’s no longer novel when the “so what” (nut graf?) of a news story is “it turns out this issue affects disadvantaged groups X, Y, and Z more than privileged group A.”

to be more clear, NPR currently has a thing about the problem of child illiteracy in the U.S. and problems with the ways schools are teaching reading and at one point the reporters are like “and this affects children of color and children from families of lower income more than wealthy/white kids because people who have money (more usually white people) can just hire private tutors” (apologies if I didn’t get this exactly right).

I think once you realize ~capitalism~ i.e. that goods and services cost money and thus people with less money have less access to those goods and services, you realize this sort of pattern is true for just about every problem ever. it’s almost always easier to avoid the problem if $$$. as soon as something costs money, it becomes inaccessible for someone out there.

of course I think it’s good that journalists bring it up but I would like to hear one be like “AND AS PER USUAL...” I would enjoy that.

this is also an example of how I think NPR is funny because you could listen to it and just be a calm casual run-o-the-mill old-school democrat and be like “oh no how sad” or you could listen to the same story and become a raging socialist. it’s all about the lens. or, um, the ears.

Okay but, as someone who can have a glasses prescription that works, and as someone who suffers from minimal to moderate auditory issues (+ processing), I cannot even BEGIN to emphasize how actively hostile the system is to blind & deaf peoples, as well as those on the spectrum of both.

I don't even have to give anybody a theoretical situation for them to understand. Just leave your seat for a second, close your eyes, and try to navigate to the furthest room in your living situation in order to turn on the light switch there.

Tough enough already? Now try that in a noisy, busy street, where all you have is a cane, and an immense urge to use the bathroom.

The anxiety, uncertainty, and tension is there with deaf persons as well. Imagine not being able to communicate with others, and there as no signs indicating where you need to go. Good luck if you don't have a phone, anything to write with, an interpreter with you, etc.

If I'm already having difficulties as a neurodivergent 2+ TBI survivor- where I will look both ways, make sure it's safe to cross, and STILL nearly get hit by a car careening at 100MPH because auditory processing issues and noisy streets don't mesh- then I cannot imagine the sheer, utter strength, courage, and perseverance blind, deaf, and all peoples on those spectrums have to have.

This is why actions like Spotify's- to put accessibility features like lyrics (accurate or inaccurate as they were) and others- are a genuine disgrace upon the business's name.

It shows their true colors, as well as how they'd rather take money from those who need it than from those who can truly afford to.
