i. i just realised something about the kiss.

the way when aziraphale puts both of his hands on crowley's back, you can see them kinda shift so aziraphale isn't leaning. he held onto crowley for stability, and leaned in. pushed closer to him. he leaned forward. anyone ever says he didn't want the kiss im going to hunt you down because HE HELD CLOSE!!! HE KISSED BACK!!!!

EDIT: also im like WELL aware he kissed back i was even when i first watched it like its not a big revelation, its just that SOME people☠️ on TIKTOK☠️ KEEP SAYING HE WAS DISGUSTED BY THE KISS???? like i swear some people are watching a different show entirely

Why Is This So Crunchy? - Part 1

Enid: Babe, why is this so uh— crunchy?

Wednesday: Is the flavor not to your liking?

Enid: Oh no, it tastes great! It’s just— it’s got a ton of texture for a smoothie.

Wednesday: Perhaps I missed a few apple seeds.

Enid: Maybe? Other than that, this apple cider smoothie is perfect!

Wednesday: Of course. I selected only the most delectable apples—

Enid: *slurrrrrrp*

Wednesday: — and the juiciest of spiders. My wolf deserves nothing short of the absolute best.

Enid: 😗

Enid: *swallows* Say that again?

Wednesday: You deserve nothing short of the absolute best.

Enid: No no, just before that.

Wednesday: The most delectable of apples and juiciest of spiders?

Enid: 🤨

Enid: Juiciest of ciders?

Wednesday: Juiciest of spiders.

Enid: Ciders?

Wednesday: Spiders.

Enid glances down at her smoothie, then back to Wednesday.

Enid: Willa? Babycakes? My little Snack-the-Ripper?

Wednesday: Yes, mi corazón?

Enid: It’s a good thing I’m used to your weird-as-shit Addams recipes, because otherwise this would be like totes bad.

Wednesday: That is fortunate.

Enid: 🤔

Enid: So uh— any chance you have more of this, but like… even crunchier?

Wednesday: I do have another batch that is a touch heavy on the legs.

Enid: 😈

Enid: Wanna share some with Bianca?

Wednesday: Does Barclay partake in arachnophagy?

Enid: What now?

Wednesday: The practice of consuming arachnids.

Enid: Nope! In fact, she hates spiders.

Wednesday:

Wednesday: I shall pour her one immediately. *storms off*

Enid: *calls after* Make sure it has the hairiest legs!

Part 2

hot take ??

the only reason people say that "mafuyu and tsukasa have nothing in common" when presented with mafukasa parallels is because they equate mafuyu and tsukasa being similar to "tsukasa has depression" because the fandom equates mafuyu's personality to being depressed and nothing else.

it doesn't help that people (primarily younger people in the fandom) who DO believe in mafukasa parallels end up making the mistake of portraying tsukasa as depressed because as of right now he is not (although it's possible he was in past because of his Very Unclear Middle School Backstory but that's irrelevant)

anyways, mafuyu and tsukasa are narrative foils because their core personalities are built off of the concept of wanting to make the people around them— especially their families— happy.

they both developed personalities at a young age based on someone they looked up to. for tsukasa, it was seiichi amami's performance that inspired him to be a star— a hero that could cheer anyone up. for mafuyu, it was her mother taking care of her that inspired her to be a nurse— and you can see the similarities from there.

for mafuyu, her identity would first come into conflict when her mother expressed her want for mafuyu to be a doctor— suddenly, "everyone's" happiness didn't match what she wanted to do, leaving her in a state of disorder and eventual depression.

for tsukasa, his identity was something he nearly forgot in its entirety at the start of the main story— becoming arrogant and fully absorbed in a hero persona, forgetting the kind person he truly is. furthermore, his current character arc seems to be foreshadowing that what "being a star" to him is going to be called into question— maybe it is something more than just being the main character that saves everyone.

their insecurities are incredibly similar.

in mafuyu's first mixed, mafuyu feels insecure towards ichika because unlike ichika, she feels as if her lyrics have no genuine meaning to be expressed to other people— despite them being her very real feelings. this is brought up again in her second mixed as well.

in tsukasa's third focus event, something similar happens. when watching seiichi's performance, he thinks that his acting is "real" and feels inferior towards him, which is ironic because tsukasa has been method acting this whole time. when tsukasa is acting out rio or bartlett or really anyone at this point in the story, it's not just those characters— it's a reflection of his traumas.

just like mafuyu, tsukasa undermines his passions he's poured his feelings into because someone else's work is more genuine in his eyes.

now, then, foils have many similarities and parallels (and i could honestly list a lot more), but how i define them is that they usually have some kind of major branching difference that MAKES them foils.

for mafuyu and tsukasa it's pretty straightforward.

mafuyu's people pleasing behavior comes from external expectations and pressures— her mother's demands.

tsukasa's people pleasing behavior comes internally, from himself— if he can't meet his own standards, if he can't be the perfect big brother or the perfect star, then he is nothing.

and even then, there's some overlap.

tsukasa's behavior was indirectly encouraged by his mother praising him for being a "good big brother" over the phone instead of asking him if he was okay while home alone.

mafuyu's terrified to be herself around other people because she doesn't want to worry or bother them— she doesn't want to be a burden— and projects her mother's expectations onto them, not realizing that they would prefer the real mafuyu if they knew the truth.

and the concept of mafukasa being foils is most perfectly and blatantly portrayed in these two cards.

mafuyu, the marionette, sitting limp on the floor— puppeteered by her mother's demands and donning a mask to hide her true self.

tsukasa, the jester, standing above everything else— puppeteering silenced plushies— his feelings. he's not being completely honest with himself, and he doesn't even realize it.

mafuyu has cut her strings and ripped her mask in half. she has acknowledged her true feelings and expressed them to her mother, even if she had to run away in the end.

tsukasa has not yet cut his.
