Nothing infuriates me more than trying to find an instrumental playlist for a character or series I like on Spotify and it just not existing like I’m going to riot, why do I have to make it???

I love that the fandom has come to associate Jesse with loving vampires. We have like, one picture of him and his brother dressed as vampires for Halloween, and he frequently names animals Dracula. Thats it.

Yet we have collectively decided he knows ALL the vampire lore

MIND THE DOCENT

[whatsupspaceman]

characters who begin again in completely new worlds… or characters with memory loss being given another shot at life… and then using that desperately trying to make amends for the person they are told they used to be,, or who reinvent themselves into a new person to the betterment or detriment of themselves.. but the shadow of the old self always lingers >>>>>>>

sooo the fandom found some boards with new lore about reflections!

there's one new thing directly stated by lake:

when a prime dies, they're replaced by an "inert," who's not alive like other reflections. (i wonder how fast theyre replaced? if the reflection has to play dead until the body isn't by a reflective surface and they can be replaced?) technically, this one line is missing from among other lines that made it into the show, so there is a chance they took it out because they decided it wasn't canon anymore

everything else is implied, like lake suggesting reflections probably don't need to eat

(my logic being that anything that needs to eat to survive probably feels hungry, even if that sensation may feel different to them)

lake enjoys food!!! not surprising, i wonder if they'll enjoy less as it becomes not new anymore, or if that's something they'll always enjoy. but them being able to eat (in my opinion) implies that they do have organs, and yes, jesse, probably can go to the bathroom if they eat. (@jesse-cosay pointed that out first lol)

and, while we all pretty much gathered this anyway, lake does mention that they're pretty sure no reflection has ever made it off the train:

(also, don't mind me being sad about all the escaped reflections who were murdered before they ever got to live. and lake's definitely thinking about that, too).

these boards are all by jacob winkler, you can find them here

The thing about the "fridged" trope is that obviously you can't have a female love interest dying as a defining moment for a male character because that's not feminist, but you also can't have a male love interest dying as a defining moment for a female character because then she's just going to have an arc revolving around her relationship with a man and that's also not feminist, and you also can't kill off a love interest from a gay relationship or a relationship involving a nonbinary person because that's burying your queers, which is at least as bad as misogyny if not even worse, and now suddenly you can't kill off romantic partners at all in stories because no matter the demographics, it's going to be problematic somehow, which is... a pretty ridiculous limitation to impose on storytelling.

And, like, it would be satisfying to have a solution other than "it depends on context if not straight-up vibes, and it's usually very reasonable for audience members to have a range of opinions on the execution of one specific instance," but. Yeah, you do kind of have to just vibe check it in a deeply subjective manner sometimes.
