My friends think I like to fight, but it's just not true. Sometimes I lose my temper and blow off a little steam—but I've never enjoyed it. I'm not a violent dog. I don't know why I bite.

Thinking about the twot S3 finale and suian's fate like... I do actually think this is the way to go. Spoilers below for the books and potential impacts on the show

Suian's death here sets up a lot of things far more solidly than her dying at the end of the novels for a bunch of reasons not least that here, she goes out with a bang, on her feet, making a point, and largely driving home what it means to be not only Aes Sedai, but Amyrlin. Both of which are important for the girls in their upcoming arcs. But it also:

1) sets Elaida up as much more formidable character in her own right. In the books, a lot of her time was spent bumbling around and being a bad Amyrlin almost by accident (yes yes, Alviarin was there and Elaida had an ego so inflated she couldn't see the ground but in general her decisions felt made in a vacuum with no apparent impact on HER - Rand's box notwithstanding). She is pulling the strings here, she is being undeniably mean spirited and bending rules to get her way, she is a Threat here far more than I ever felt she was in the books (even with the box bit that never made me hate Elaida, only the women she sent). It is now genuinely worrying what might happen to Egwene in future and other sisters caught in the immediate fall out. It also makes a lot more sense why the Tower would split like it does. In the books Elaida followed the law much more closely and wasn't quite as uh... I hesitate to say unhinged but that is kinda how it feels. Obviously sisters aren't going to feel safe, obviously some will leave. (Sidebar: interesting that they stilled Suian and then asked for the truth when stilling breaks the oaths but whatever.)

2) gives Leane a bit more to do, just as an aside. We haven't seen Sheriam in a while, I can see Leane taking on some of her role and also Suian's going forward.

3) gives Moiraine a reason to lose the plot. We saw her relationship with Rand change throughout this season where he came to trust her more. He asked her to be by his side through all this shit and everything! But he is about to see what loving and losing does to someone, this is the Perfect segue into his 'I Must Be Hard As Iron' arc where he pushes everyone away. Moiraine chose duty over love and it's killing her. You can't have both, can't DO both love and duty. Rand will learn from this. Moiraine's grief will have consequences.

4) it gives Moiraine something of an out. She knows she's going to die and she's been trying to figure out what to do about it. Now, she will embrace it. Not in this life, apparently, but definitely in the next. Bring it on. (Ties into the above: if she can escape her death shouldn't she try to be there for Rand longer? vs Dying sooner reunites her with Suian. Yikes the internal dilemma!)

5) it gives Egwene more room to stand on her own. A lot of her arc with the rebel Aes Sedai was built upon her relationship with Suian: she was the Amyrlin Suian taught her to be. I am sad we won't get any of that dynamic, I did thoroughly enjoy how they politicked their way to getting what they wanted, but without Suian, Egwene will get to become her own Amyrlin. And perhaps bring a little more Aiel to the table. Plus she can still have that dynamic with Leane, Light willing. (Nynaeve can still heal Leane also, presumably, assuming nothing awful happens to Leane before she can. Kinda hope they allow Nynaeve to fully restore her channelling since they seem to be smudging the line between saidin/saidar and their weird af opposing limitations.)

6) and I cannot stress this enough: her arc with Gareth Bryne was a crime and I'm glad we don't have to see any of it. I doubted we'd see it as soon as she and Moiraine were in a confirmed relationship, but now we don't even have to see any part of her weird indenture servitude arc and praise be for that.

When I read Chris Kratt Evil Aus, a lot of them make Martin Kratt follow the "protective older siblings" trope and the "broken regretful family member" trope, which makes sense since Martin, being the eldest, would get mentally depressed and stressed witnessing his own sibling causing chaos out of his whim along with the burden of "not protective of him enough." But I never saw anyone do Chris's perspective on a Martin Kratt Evil AU. Just because he's the youngest doesn't mean his reaction and actions would not be as impactful to the story as Martin's would.

Chris would possibly think him being the younger brother would be a burden in protecting his other sibling, gaining the guilt of not protecting Martin at that moment because he isn't the elder sibling. Plus being the more serious one, Martin's corruption would take a toll on Chris likely leading him to be even more strict and serious; believing goofy antics and compassion would weaken him and prevent him from saving Martin, which would be perfect grounds for his relationship with the team to crumble. In other words, why haven't we seen the perspective of a younger sibling as much as an older sibling.

And speaking of, would Martin's corruption be more impactful than Chris's, since having a soft and loving personality would make it even more disturbing? The loving jokester unexpectedly becomes a monster committing actions that previous Martin Kratt would never do and be disgusted at.

AA localization is something that in most cases enriches characterization, but sometimes the context on the original Japanese script gives something really intriguing as well

We all know Manfred von Karma is a perfectionist, and in almost every his line we are reminded of it. He even set his ATM card number to 0001. So an ummovable object in terms of superiority complex

I like the Japanese version of this moment as well if not more, though. There, Manfred's card number is 4649 which by the rules of Japanese wordplay means yoroshiku or "nice to meet you". He also points that this is not an actual date (thanks). It makes him look like a lot more whimsical guy who just isn't 100% of time serious, which I'd personally take over the "hee hee I'm number 1" thing (because let's be real, it's not that funny and falls a bit flat)

It's a really minor detail, but where else people are gonna pick up some bits about Manfred's personality aside from being a perfectionist asshole? Even for a cartoonish villain MVK is often positioned as it's really interesting to peek into other sides of his personality
