no cause if it was anything else maybe i would be able to close my eyes and enjoy the absolute disrespect of the source material s&b did and maybe if they changed things that still respected the characters it would be fine but they didn’t. the depth of the characters have been utterly reduced to fan favourite moments lined up in a way that makes no sense. the depth of wylan and jesper’s relationship feels like it has been entirely removed in favour of them being just another side gay couple on tv. the quality and pining found in inej and kaz’s relationship is fucking nonexistent and has been replaced with tension that doesn’t make sense. the writers seem to have no real understanding of the characters or care of how they’re portrayed or else maybe this season would’ve felt less like a highlight reel of fans’ favourite parts of the duology and more like an actual coherent story that respects it’s source material. hot take apparently but an adaptation doesn’t have to be a word for word retelling of the story as long as it respects what the source material did and was trying to do along with respecting it’s characters and overall story and s&b just straight up did not do that with the crows. that’s all im saying about that, gorillaz and trigun posting will continue momentarily
“neil is so oblivious” “neil is so observant” “neil is bad at reading people” “neil is great at reading people” nah listen neil has spent his whole life on the run from the mafia. he is really observant but the thing is the only thing he is looking for are things that are potentially threats. analysing power dynamics of the foxes on day one? check. noticing any time wymack is even a little bit annoyed because historically annoyed older men has meant pain? check. keeping track of where everyone is at any given point and how close the doors are? double check.
but what he isnt used to looking for? good things. anything good, because he literally just does not expect good things to happen to him. nicky considers him a friend and has for months? blindsided. allison found it in her to forgive neil for his role in seths death without ever saying a word to him? shattered. the least emotionally expressive guy on the team has been progressively falling in love with him in such a way that multiple team members have already clocked it? never even considered the possibility until it was literally spelled out.
tldr; neil is great at ferretting out threats and absolute dogshit at noticing when people care about him because he’s been programmed his whole life to expect the first and not the second
the way Cody yelled ‘NOVA!!!’ in this episode is the exact same way he yelled ‘LONGSHOT!!!’ during the Citadel arc. even under fucking mind control, he still loves his brothers more than ANYTHING. he never stopped caring about them, and this entire ep just goes to show how genuinely sweet and kind he is and how good of a person he is. they characterized him fantastically

About a year and half ago I wrote a song about an incredible story, the story of a girl who always lived on the outside, looking in. Figuratively and literally. The juxtaposition of her loneliness and independence. Her longing and her stillness. Her curiosity and fear, all tangled up. Her persisting gentleness… and the world’s betrayal of it. I wrote this one alone in the middle of the night and then Aaron Dessner and I meticulously worked on a sound that we felt would be authentic to the moment in time when this story takes place. I made a wish that one day you would hear it. ‘Carolina’ is out now 🥺

aftg is a slow burn romance but only the second time you read it. the first time you read it it’s this dark action book about violent sports and serial killers and the mafia and then ‘that doesn’t mean i wouldn’t blow you’ hits like a slap in the face.
the thing about Commander Cody that makes me so absolutely insane is not just how shockingly kind he is- it’s the fact that he’s so kind and tender even though he was never afforded that growing up.
like, none of the clones were, obviously, but Cody even as an Imperial does nothing but talk in gentle tones to citizens and reassured them that he’s only trying to help and does every single thing he POSSIBLY can to avoid bloodshed.
Even With Separatists.
he was never demonstrated with that level of kindness until far, far into his life, and yet it’s his core trait. he’s a good person to the bone and he did that by himself. it’s incredible. he truly does embody the Sun despite growing up on a planet that always rains.
BACKGROUND PALPATINE IS THE BEST PALPATINE LOOK AT HIM HAVING TO DEAL WITH THESE TWO IDIOTS ONE IS THE JEDI MASTER HE HAS BEEN TRYING FOR YEARS TO KILL BUT JUST CAN’T SEEM TO MANAGE IT THE OTHER IS THE FUCK OFF POWERFUL ONE THAT HE DESPERATELY WANTS AS AN APPRENTICE AND THEY’RE BOTH IDIOTS THESE ARE THE TWO IDIOTS THAT HAVE BEEN THE ROADBLOCK IN HIS WAY AND THE ONE WHO HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE THIS IS THE FACE OF A MAN WHO HAS SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF TWO PEOPLE WHO DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH SUFFERING THEY’RE CAUSING HIM
i was thinking about how Edgy™ andrew is from neil's pov but so many fans have realized he is really just a gay traumatized emo kid
so i have decided that andrew is definitely very active on twitter and has a substantial following. he mainly posts about his stupid little boyfriend, horrific food combinations, jokes about therapy, and random gay thoughts
none of the foxes knew he had twitter (except for his stupid boyfriend) so when his PR agent got on his back about being active on social medie he just changed his twitter handle to his name and that's how he came out
allison feels betrayed because she had been following andrew for almost as long as he'd been twittering and is horrified that she actually thinks andrew is a funny person
a real conversation i just had with my friend:
me: well they’re all mister numbers, i mean fox is CC-1010 and wolffe is CC-3636
her: who gave wolffe two f’s
me: he doesn’t have two i’s so he took two f’s
she/her | lover of shedding tears over black lines on paper/phone screens | swiftie | whovian | don’t have a personality beyond loving to read and listening to taylor swift | psychology major that doesn’t understand her own actions |
