The subtle rancidity in this landoscar moment, Oscar's a little mad Lando got even from brazil, Lando's so smug about it...they just want to one up eachother in debt and we have misinterpreted it as marriage, these bitches are fucking nasty going back and forth between hunter and prey

GOD OKAY ANON, sorry just getting to this now, I have been Busy Busy.

I swear you must be the same anon in Amelia's inbox yesterday talking about the hunter/prey thing and SDFDSFSDDFSDFDSF.

The DYNAMICS. The way that Lando absolutely probably did it for absolution of himself (feeling bad about the team orders, and wanting to give something back to Oscar), but also thinking that he deserves thanks for it.

Oscar APPRECIATING it but also wanting it on his own fucking merit, bitter about it because he knows exactly why Lando did it. And then the fact that he has to deal with the subtle smugness from Lando post interview.

AND THEN NOW THE RACE.

It's definitely both a marriage AND fucking nasty. They're trading shit back and forth, they're an Ouroboros eating it's own tail. Lando is fighting for this tiny shred of control and Oscar is fighting for a shred of acknowledgement, and they just keep trading their debts back and forth.

They ABSOLUTELY fuck nasty about it on the regular, and they absolutely fight about it, tooth and nail. A little violent, a little sexy, definitely a little crying.

And both of them are nothing except the perfect little prey animal to each other I mean...what.

THEY'RE BOTH JUST SO FERAL ABOUT IT ALL. It's rancid, but it's also how they show each other they care....

"doesn't this charater under insane stress going through extremely traumatic events realize how inconvenient their irrational emotional reactions are to the people around them?" well, see, you're not gonna believe this, but the thing is,

animation being treated like a genre instead of a medium is something that actually makes me go insane. beauty and the beast is a romance. the emperor's new groove is a buddy comedy. big hero 6 is a superhero movie. moana is an adventure film. the lion king is a drama. treasure planet is sci-fi. if i was talking to someone who hadn't seen these movies before, and they weren't specifically interested in animation as a medium, then i wouldn't necessarily assume they'd enjoy all of these. and that's just disney movies! try telling an anime fan that fruits basket and fullmetal alchemist are the same genre and see how they react!

I think the wildest thing about the TikTok Ban is that TikTok decided to adhere to it beyond the letter of the law.

They bent their knee willingly and gave up space and a platform they did not have to. They consciously decided to fuck over their user base when there was no valid reason for them to do so.

I've seen people talking about how you absolutely do not want to obey ahead of authority, and to see TikTok do it is... weird. It's unsettling. It feels like a dangerous stunt.

Specifically, it feels performative. It's got the marks of a Great Drama™, and given Trump's first 4 years and his absolutely bonkers love for theatrics over anything else, this just feels hollow. Like TikTok is trying to turn it's - generally younger - user base into "fans" of the republicans.

They can't really scoop up youths any other way, honestly. But using a big impactful story and putting Trump as the "hero" who saves their beloved platform.

It's not even the 20th and I just don't like how this new administration is starting. I do not like a private company complying beyond the letter of the law in advance of that law either. Because the only thing the law laid down was that they couldn't update the app on Apple and Google.

There wouldn't have been any fines or legal ramifications.

Mel's protection should have saved Viktor too, and she's trying to figure out why it didn't

(Editing to add: see this post for details on the Mel's armor/shield theory)

S2 ep1 shows a circle of protected stone where Mel and Jayce were during the explosion. My theory is that Mel's magic armor activated and saved them both. It seems like it casts a sphere of protection around wherever Mel is.

The center of this circle is not Mel's seat - it's Jayce's. She ran to Jayce to save him.

No other Councilors were in range of Mel's protection, so they all got hurt or killed.

But Viktor was, in Jayce's words, "right next to" him. He was easily within Mel's circle of protection.

1) Viktor tried to run and mistakenly left the circle of protection. But are we meant to believe that Viktor, close to dying already and using a crutch, would have outrun Mel?

2) Viktor's augmented body clashes with Mel's

Why does Mel try to touch Viktor in episode 1? It seems like a throwaway moment, but not even Jayce touches him in this scene. So why Mel?

She's curious. And possibly, feeling responsible. She's wondering why her protection didn't work.

Is this Hexcore brand of the Arcane trying to reach out to Mel? Or trying to defend itself from her?

Mel was trying to protect both Jayce and Viktor, which is reflected in how she holds Jayce as well as Viktor's cane when she promises to protect Hextech:

But if, for example, Mel's magic is Solari in origin, and Viktor's is from the Void - or the Arcane equivalent of similar opposing forces - then it's possible that their magic rejects or hurts one another. So Mel's circle of protection either rejected Viktor, or was what hurt Viktor, and not the explosion.
