#(And no; I will not be combining any of these ships)

I have 2 whales and sharks

Whales would be domesticated for dairy meat and skin possibly oil the idea being you have people traveling around the ocean migrating with them occasionally landing at a port somewhere for some supplies but mostly living off the whales when a whale dies they can use its body for materials and stuff you dont waste anything when your out in the ocean sell off whatever you cant keep because whales are heavy and than move back on i picture mostly as just a big sail ship of people fishing and tagging along with the whales plus you could end up with some nice cultural aspects from it too different ships travel with different whales orcas blue whales any of em

Sharks could be a similar thing they live in every ocean i think they are surprisingly curious about stuff from what i remember theyd be like sea dogs use them to help hunt for food and possibly to find underwater loot like sunken ships or random ores you could even combine the two and have sharks travel with the whales and with both being domesticated to some degree they're numbers wouldn't be nearly as low

you can domesticate one animal species of your choosing, which do you pick and why? explain your reasoning

How to Buy Takarazuka Castlevania on BD/DVD

I’ve seen a lot of Castlevania fans express interest in the currently running Takarazuka Castlevania musical and wondering whether or not it would get a pro shot, so I thought I’d jump in and write up a little guide on how to get your hands on the upcoming home video release of Takarazuka Castlevania.

Now, Takarazuka is unusual in that its parent company, Hankyu, is extremely aggressive about piracy and protecting its copyright. The company regularly trawls through YouTube and other social media websites to take down content, and they have deliberately made their livestreams increasingly harder to access in response. This can make it feel like getting your hands on Takarazuka is really difficult and, if you’re used to Japanese companies that are friendlier, it’s definitely a bit of a fan culture shock! 

However, it’s actually not difficult at all. Purchasing a Takarazuka Blu-ray or DVD from outside of Japan is a straightforward process. You just have to know what, when, and where.

What to Buy

Takarazuka releases the vast majority of their shows on physical media. All of their shows staged in the Takarazuka Grand Theater and the Tokyo Takarazuka Theater (hereafter “a GT show”) receive a physical media release on both Blu-ray and DVD.*

The main distinction between the two is the video quality, price, and special features:

A GT Blu-ray costs 11,000 yen and includes rehearsal footage as well as Star Angles, which are special cuts of scenes focused on certain performers. In the case of Castlevania, the Star Angles will focus on the performers playing Alucard, Maria, and Richter.†

A GT DVD costs 8,800 yen and contains no special features.‡ 

Both are region-free but neither includes subtitles of any kind, not even Japanese.

The physical media release will include Castlevania, the one-act musical, as well as Ai, Love Revue!, a separate musical revue with no connection to Castlevania. While Takarazuka does stage two-act musicals, the combination of a ninety-minute one act play with an hour long musical revue is classically Takarazuka. This particular revue repeats some classic numbers from Takarazuka’s past, so it’s a good introduction to what Takarazuka is all about!

When to Buy

Takarazuka physical media releases try to drop fast. A GT show is usually filmed during its run in the Takarazuka Grand Theater (before it moves to the Tokyo Takarazuka Theater) and released during the Tokyo Takarazuka Theater run. Usually is the key word here; I’ve received at least one Takarazuka Blu-ray before the final performance in Tokyo, but others can get delayed, likely due to copyright negotiations.§ Given that Konami is directly involved with the production, I don’t have any concerns about copyright or delays.

Based on recent GT show announcements and releases, I would expect to hear the release schedule announcement during the break between runs (7/21 to 8/15) and the Blu-ray/DVD to release late in the Tokyo run (8/16 to 9/28). So I’d estimate finding out in August that it’s releasing sometime in September. 

Where to Buy

Once the Blu-ray/DVD has been announced, you’ll find it available for international purchase on the following websites:

cdjapan.jp

CDJapan always carries new Takarazuka products, offers multiple shipping options, often has coupons, and allows you to pre-order items. This is predominantly what I use and I can personally recommend it.

Yesasia.com

Yesasia carries new Takarazuka products, offers coupons, and offers free shipping. Takarazuka Blu-ray/DVDs will be noted as “Japan version,” but remember, they’re region-free. I have no experience with this website, so I can’t vouch for it personally.

TakaAn

TakaAn is a shop focusing on Takarazuka (but also other theatrical troupes) in Japan that offers overseas orders via email. 

Amazon.co.jp

Amazon.co.jp used to regularly stock new Takarazuka products, but less so lately. Still, worth checking.

Secondhand Stores 

Secondhand copies of Takarazuka Blu-ray/DVDs crop up on websites like Suruga-ya and Mercari from time to time. Suruga-ya is easy to use, has a wide selection of items, and often offers coupons, while Mercari has a proxy service (Buyee) built in to help you purchase items from overseas. Both are dependent on availability, but are a great way to save some money! (Just make sure the shipping and proxy fees aren’t wiping out the money you save!)

Where to Find Out More

I hope this helps out some Castlevania fans in their quest, since I know Takarazuka can be a little opaque. If the new musical has gotten you interested in Takarazuka, feel free to check out this So You’re New to Takarazuka post and this primer on the Sumire Code. Takarazuka's got a bit of a learning curve, but it’s a wonderful (and very sparkly) hobby! 

* In Takarazuka, the distinction is between GT shows and small theater shows. One of the five Takarazuka troupes performs a GT show (with the full troupe) and then will split for the small theater shows, with half of the troupe in one show and the other half in another, performing in venues outside of the Takarazuka Grand Theater and Tokyo Takarazuka Theater. This allows people who are not the Top Star of their troupe to get leads. These smaller scale shows often receive home video release on Blu-ray, but whether or not it does is based on the internal ranking of the star within Takarazuka (Top Stars always do, but baby’s first lead, not so much). So while not every Takarazuka show gets a home video release, the vast majority do. 

† Flower Troupe/Hanagumi’s Top Star Towaki Sea, the Top Musumeyaku Hoshizora Misaki, and the nibante, Seino Asuka, respectively.

‡ In the pre-Blu-ray era, DVDs not only included the Blu-ray special features, but additional features (like digests for any switch cast roles, documentary features), and came on two discs. 

§ There are some shows that are never released on home video for copyright reasons, usually imported musicals with very complicated licensing agreements (like Big Fish). This hasn’t happened to a GT show in decades and is usually kept to small theater shows, if at all.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR FELIX RAREPAIRS BELOVED!!! IF YOU WANT TO!! <33

OKAY OKAY SO. To me, one of the core things when considering if a relationship with Félix would work is A: Would they be cool about the senti-thing and could they potentially make Félix feel safe enough to tell them about the senti-thing in the first place? And B: Do I think their relationship could be mutually beneficial? And as it turns out, you could argue yes to both for like, at least half of the Miracuclass.

For ME, making silly little rare pairs is looking at two characters and being like, “Okay but what if. What if they met in some way or helped each other out in some way or what if you got them to see the best in each other. What if.” And that is so so fun. Naturally because I love Félix, I think about this in the context of him the most.

So, because of this, my list of Félix Rare Pairs (and I’m gonna need y’all to not look at me like I’m crazy because I knowww) are:

- Félix/Nino (Started out as ‘They both care about Adrien and hate Gabriel’ and I just think if Nino ever found about the senti-thing he would be like, “Ohhh that’s so fucked up, parents should NOT be controlling their kids like that” and Félix would definitely like that. And I dunno maybe they kiss about it. Plus I would love the idea of Nino not being fooled whenever they swapped places because he knows Adrien/both of them too well.)

- Félix/Alya (Alya is very clever and always trying to solve the next great mystery and I like the idea of them working together. With both of their respective knowledge combined, they could kick ass and take names. Plus I think she could take charge and get him to chill out when he needs to and he could help her get the resources she needs to really kick off her reporter career and be VERY protective over her. And maybe get information for her through unlawful means.)

- Félix/Alya/Nino (For all of the above reasons but also… The idea of Alya and Nino having to explain to Adrien and Marinette that they’re both kinda seeing Félix on the regular is just. An extremely funny image to me.)

- Félix/Sabrina (Okay this is a weird one I know BUT. Both Dog Miraculous Holders. I think Sabrina should get to go apeshit and Félix could encourage this. Also she’s very loyal and I think Félix would be quietly baffled that she goes through all this trouble for him. Also also Sabrina is like, canonically VERY smart and uses a lot of her skills for Chloé so I think if Félix saw how skilled and versatile she is as a person, he’d respect her a lot. Also also also. Chloé would be so weirded out by their relationship and that image is funny to me.)

- Félix/Nathaniel/Marc (I’m definitely not the first one in this because I’ve seen it around so I’m probably repeating some stuff here but. Queer theater kids. Nathaniel and Marc have a lot of skills but are under confident in them so Félix keeps pushing them to see their own worth. A somewhat “They asked for NO pickles” dynamic but also, Nathaniel and Marc could bring out that softer side in Félix that we already see in Feligami. Two birds and a goat in love, what will they do? I dunno it’s just fun to think about!)

- Félix/Mylène/Ivan (A hugeee part of this is that Mylène and Ivan are activists and would absolutely advocate for Senti-Rights. Beyond that, they’re both very sweet and protective people that I think would be good for Félix. In return, he can help them in gaining the right connections in the world and help in fundraisers and such. The image of this ship is just really funny to me? Two very normal people and their mutual boyfriend who threatens corrupt politicians that they adore? Am I making any sense?)

- Félix/Luka/Kagami (This is one I WILL write about and I really need to finish one of my one shots of but just. It’s so good to me. Guy who knows too much meets the other two people who know too much and can be honest around them. They’re all bisexual. Established poly couple Feligami both looking at this guy, then realizing they’ve caught feelings for this guy, then trying to gauge if Luka feels the same way. Luka thinking it won’t work out but confessing anyways. They snatch him up IMMEDIATELY. Luka, who has only known slow burns, now caught in their whirlwind fast burn of a romance and is (pleasantly) overwhelmed. Do you see my vision??)

And yeah. Also it’s important to note that I also love taking any of these ships and also having either poly couple Feligami or Queerplatonic Feligami also going on in the background. Because that’s also fun.

In conclusion: I’m having fun playing with my touys, thank you for the ask <333

[bratbarzal]

fancy sharing any of those uncle lukey headcannons you mentioned?

basing this off of lih!luke and his relationship with baby cheeto from oys!! (you don’t have to have read either to read this tbh it’s just random thoughts I have about that dynamic but I guess it translates into him as an uncle in general!!) also these are off the top of the dome if more come to me I’ll touch back on it bc I love uncle lukey!!

ok so I love translating real life traits into fic so I feel like a lot of luke-isms translate really well into being an uncle (I say with my only real qualification being that I am an auntie with 6 years experience and a PHD in being a niblet's favourite person and I feel like I have a decent read by now on what kids appreciate in an aunt/uncle bc it’s the biggest part of my life lmao)

like when everyone calls him a lowkey nerd, like he loves history, and he loves chess, and he loves movies based on real stories, and his favourite game is rummikub lmao I feel like he would use those sorts of things when it comes to spending time with a kid and he’s such a yapper so I feel like they all combine really well into something engaging for a kid

Uncle!Luke who read that talking to babies is good for their development, so he has a million one sided conversations with Cheeto and just reacts to every face she makes like it’s a response - like she’ll just stare at him wide eyed and he’ll be like, “Ugh Jack said the exact same thing.”

and if he’s ever looking after her for like a morning or a day, he’ll take her somewhere that he can google beforehand so he can reel off all the facts about it like a fountain of knowledge and so when she’s older she thinks he’s the smartest person because Uncle!Luke knows everything about everything. He knows about the history of the places they go, he knows about the animals at the farm or the zoo, he knows about pirates that sailed in the ship that’s in the park (that he made up but Cheeto would never know lmao)

And he’ll tell her what all the Disney movies are based off of, or like any of the kids books he reads to her, he’ll go off tangent - like he’ll read The Stompysaurus and end up keeping her way up past her bedtime telling her all about different dinosaurs

And he’d so put on dorky voices for every character when he’s reading a book - like Cheeto won’t let him read Bluey At The Beach unless he’s doing his very best (awful) Australian accent

He puts a lot of thought into what he’d want to be called, because it has to be something that still works when kids are a bit older and doesn’t seem weird for him to be called, and he thinks Lukey is fine enough, but Cheeto ends up calling him “ook” because she can’t quite get her L’s right when she first starts talking and “ook” is an easy enough sound - Jack thinks it’s hilarious until he’s “ack” and it sounds too much like a “yack” sort of noise

Uncle!Luke is always the first port of call though, because his brothers are so used to being the better known ones to everyone else, it just works that Luke beats them both out on the uncle scale, and he won’t let Jack hear the end of it.

He’s always the quickest to drop to the floor when he sees Cheeto, and when she can walk she’ll just plonk herself into his lap and carry on playing with her blocks or whatever, and Luke will just absentmindedly hoard them all and hand them to her one by one while Nico and Poppy are telling him where everything is while he watches her for date night, and he can hold like 6 in one hand at a time while her tiny fingers just about wrap around one

And Uncle!Luke never dumbs stuff down or makes things seem like they’re too complex for a kid to understand he just figures out a way to explain what he can and redirects to Poppy and Nico when it’s something they should probably handle like he just talks to a kid like he’d talk to anyone else there’s never a baby voice or made up words

But also when she gets siblings and sometimes having babies in the house is harder for older siblings, and they’re sort of forced into responsibility a lot earlier than they should be, he makes sure to still treat her like a kid where it matters and he’ll play pretend with her and be the big dumb dragon guarding the castle where Princess Cheeto is locked away lmao

Also like my favourite Luke!lore is that he’s an Eater ™️ and I love the concept that the only person he would share his food with is a child (and LIH!reader gf obvs) like he gives “joey doesn’t share food” but he’d break a sandwich in half for Cheeto and let her steal his fries

@formerlyofyourlocallibrary the dog is why you think he would cheat??????

did you not read the part where I said he got the dog to make his wife and kids happy????

or the part where I said he's bad at second order consequences which is the problem with the snap decision of the puppy? That he thinks the puppy is good but clearly hasn't thought through the effort of having to care for it and who is actually going to do that work cuz it's not the four year old which makes him an ass but not a cheater??

You say that he got the dog as a snap decision to fix problems which I agree with but you're implying cheating could also be a snap decision that would fix problems, so the cheating is fixing his marriage? Because that's the problem he's trying to fix, he's trying to make his wife happier but doesn't know what she wants but I'm pretty sure he knows she doesn't want him cheating on her

Also, how is getting caught stealing pills by an intern on her first day a red flag for cheating? I get it's a red flag in general that he has stolen pills, it is not good behavior and indicates how bad his addiction is, but Santos didn't catch him cheating, and like I said in the post you supposedly read stealing pills =/= cheating, like those are two separate things

and what does Langdon impulsively getting a puppy have to do with Santos being good at finding suspicious behavior when she's primed by her trauma to be suspicious of male authority figures like Langdon??? If you're saying actually he's just bad at lying and covering up bad behavior, yes that would make him successfully cheating without his wife finding out very difficult but it doesn't say jack about whether he would in fact cheat in the first place

I think this is a worse argument than a bias against addicts combined with flanderization for a ship, do you just think any sort of impulse control problems at all is a red flag for cheating??? Cuz that's the best I got for what the hell kinda logic you're working with, you managed to fit so many insane things into one paragraph

though tacking on the bit about getting caught with pills on day one does kinda circle back to the whole drug addiction part being the generator of this problem, would his impulse control still be a red flag specifically for cheating for you if Santos hadn't found out he was stealing pills?

unpopular opinion, but Frank Langdon wouldn't cheat, not with Mel or anyone else, he won't even leave his wife, if they get divorced it will have to be Abby who leaves him not the other way around, and if Mel tried to get him to cheat on Abby with her, he would actually think worse of her for it

I'm gonna be honest, I think this assumption he would cheat comes from the same place as calling him dirtbag hot comes from, he's a hot guy and an addict so obviously he must be capable of cheating

I also think some of it comes from overlaying romance tropes onto kingdon whether they come from fanfic or published romance novels

but I don't think it's accurate to his character as he is portrayed on the show, this dude is committed to his wife and children

we as outside audience members can totally see that his marriage is on the rocks and I'm sure he subconsciously can tell that he's not doing the right thing as he's asking people for their opinions on the dog in addition to probably making up for the addiction he can't admit to and this anxiety is why he comes up with at least three things to do for his wife or kids: the dog, salmon dinner, and the birkin

but I'm pretty sure Langdon thinks he's doing all the right things, his wife likes dogs and his kid said he would help take care of it so the dog is a good thing for the family, he's going to cook dinner, he's going to try and get his wife the fancy expensive bag

he is committed to his marriage and family, no he doesn't appreciate his wife's work when it comes to child rearing, but he is not apathetic to her, he is thinking about her and speaking of her at work in a busy high stress environment, he could be in the ER and completely focused on work as a workaholic and completely blocking out any thought of his home life, but he's not, he's thinking of his wife, he talks about his wife and kids as much as McKay talks about her son

and he is not complaining or disparaging about his wife or kids, like the worst thing he says about her is an implication she doesn't work as hard as him because he's a doctor but it's not a complaint she doesn't work enough, pretty much everything he says is about getting his wife and kids something they want even if he hasn't thought through the consequences or doesn't understand why they want it, he is actively trying to make them happy and engage positively with them

this is not a cheater, he doesn't feel unfulfilled in his relationship nor do I think he would seek out cheating for the thrill as he has his work in the ER for that which seems to be all he can manage considering how antsy he gets whenever addiction is mentioned nor do I think he feels completely entitled to his marriage and kids because why would he be trying to make up for things and doing grand gestures if he felt totally secure in these relationships? He does not act like he thinks he can get away with anything and expect his wife to still stay with him

Also, Langdon wears a bracelet made by his kid as the only personalized and colorful item in his entire outfit, he loves his kid enough to wear it even though it's not his personal style and when he calls to talk to Tanner after the death of two kids for a pick me up, he does not prioritize his emotions over him, he speaks calmly to Tanner and when Tanner asks if he can sing his song to him, Langdon says yeah I'd love to hear it, he's definitely not perfect like thinking a four year old can take care of a dog is expecting way too much out of a kid even if that kid is excited about and wants a dog, but he's going to know cheating would negatively impact his kids so he's not going to do it

the other thing is while he is an addict and stealing drugs, he otherwise cares about the rules, he originally gets ticked at Santos because she ignores procedure and treats patients before presenting which she does repeatedly in one day and his responses escalate in turn, maybe it's the ADHD he may or may not have where he needs external structure to stay on task, or he could just be compensating for the stealing, he's breaking this one rule and now he needs to follow every single other one and the big rule for marriage is you don't cheat on your partner

additionally, Langdon isn't an asshole because he doesn't care at all about other people, he banters and he doesn't speak the most sensitively out of all the doctors, but most of his gaffs come from not considering second order concerns, oh a patient comes in with a dnr a nurse didn't fax over in time? Waste of time and money who's running that facility but he doesn't complain further when it's pointed out the nurse is overworked and has other patients to see to while this one is being cared for by EMTs and the ER, oh this patient is dead why are they still using this bed get them moved to ICU but again doesn't argue further when Dana points out that Robby is helping the parents through the loss of their child, Langdon doesn't keep complaining or arguing after those things are pointed out, but cheating isn't a second order concern, it's immediately obvious why cheating on your partner is bad

all of this is why I think this idea of him being assumed a cheater vs people feeling the need to argue their case for Mel to be the other woman is coming from the fact he's an addict the same way dirtbag hot did (and probably also because he's a man)

there are a lot of stereotypes around addicts as if they have completely broken senses of morality and are inherently bad people so again even though Langdon is the most clean cut dude in the cast aside from the veteran, he gets called dirtbag hot not because of how he actually looks but because of the effect of having the label addict attached to him so of course the same can apply to his behavior, he stole drugs so he's capable of cheating on his wife when I don't think these are the same things especially not to Langdon himself and on the flip side, plenty of cheaters try to excuse and blame their behavior with substance use, but if he's not doing any cheating while using then I find it even less likely that he would do it after, why would he not try even harder to make even grander gestures to his wife once it's out in the open?

I think this is a contributing factor to why people who prefer Mel and Langdon to remain platonic got so heated on this topic at the beginning, there's an implication that shipping kingdon means that you think Langdon would cheat which is against his characterization in s1 which they don't like/agree with as making a character ooc is always going to bother some people and cheating specifically may be a particular hot button issue as it's a common deal breaker in relationships

and this assessment of kingdon shippers regarding their characterization of Langdon is accurate, there is clearly a chunk of kingdon shippers who actually are in it explicitly for the taboo of cheating between Langdon and Mel, this is the particular trope they like and are attracted to regardless of how it lines up with their individual characters and I think you should be aware in instances like this that you are prioritizing your trope preference over accurate characterization but people seem to be much more honest about this when it comes to Mel likely due to the confluence of factors of her being a woman, likely autistic as it's not confirmed in canon yet, and having explicitly said she doesn't like families being torn apart so people feel a greater need to justify going against her canon characterization

this is also where the overlaying of romance tropes from fandom or romance novels (and yes even shows like Grey's Anatomy) comes in, there are fics (even ones where Langdon is separated/divorced) where Langdon experiences an extreme attraction to Mel he's trying to resist and it's portrayed as overwhelming him, this is a romance trope and it does overhaul Langdon's character and Mel and Langdon's dynamic from within s1, he is obviously more overtly sexual in these portrayals as opposed to his clean cut and family focused characterization in the show

and it makes him more predatory towards Mel when clearly one of the things attracting people towards Mel and Langdon's platonic relationship as it is in canon is that an older man (even if it's only by two years) takes her seriously, accommodates her, supports her and is all around respectful of her, and if Langdon is a cheater and did all of those nice wonderful things to get into Mel's pants then he's neither respectful of his wife or Mel and it is a bastardization of his character and what they like about Mel and Langdon's relationship as presented in canon, it's again a prioritization of tropes over consistent characterization

and none of these larger issues will ever be completely resolved, fandom has always had splits between ships and with non-shippers, and flanderization of characters in general and to fit them to different tropes, this is just how fandom works, but I just think the Langdon being a cheater assumption is not coming through from his canon behavior any more than Mel being the other woman is coming from her canon characterization and that it's generally helpful to be aware of when you're prioritizing tropes over characterization

[elpeadro]

I diagnose the Jentry Chau vs. The Underworld gang with QPR (queer-platonic relationship). It is so blatant and I love them so much.

Jentry-Michael: childhood best friends who haven't seen each other for half their lives after one of them accidentally burned down half the town (including her best friend’s home) with her magical fire powers and got sent away to Korea. Hit it off like nothing ever happened the day Jentry gets back in town. Gugu teases her about him because Jentry is not subtle at all. Protagonist girl x stereotypical love interest boy. Get to bond over being pressured to be someone they’re not by parental figures and being lied to about their powers. He dreams about her at night. (Don’t worry it’s not creepy.) She nearly kills him while he’s at work. Dating life stop-starts like 5 times because of shenanigans and poor communication and also maybe because their relationship isn’t meant to be romantic in nature.

Jentry-Kit: shapeshifter-adjacent demon who stalks, flirts with, seduces, lies to, threatens, and makes and wears a skin-suit of his mark only to fold after one (1) conversation, when she suggests he already has a soul, because he is that desperate for love and validation. Oh, and he’s working for the main villain who killed her parents, her great-aunt, and is actively trying to kill her. Protagonist girl x cool aloof bad boy love interest. Get to bond over being manipulated into fighting their authority figures’ feud/war. Lowkey is responsible for her almost killing stereotypical love interest boy. One kiss is enough to make him crash out when she rejects his advances afterwards. He falls for the oldest trick in the book, which is falling for your mark. He nearly dies distracting Cheng so that she can save the day (fuck you canon; you can’t take him away from me). He does this by wearing his Jentry skin-suit. They share the most homoerotically-charged scene in a TV-PG show while he’s building and putting on said skin-suit. Him nearly stealing her qi is so intimate and also please don’t do that without her consent sir 💀.

Michael-Kit: did you not SEE episode 5? They’re the nastiest parallels to ever parallel, to the point that their narrative energy warps reality and makes the lunch lady go on a comically direct lecture about how they need to choose for themselves what they want. This lecture is somehow about their identity issues and entire life’s course, and also about what they want for lunch. It is entirely unprompted. Kit nearly got him killed at work. They’re two-thirds of a love triangle, and a triangle can only be a triangle if it has 3 sides. (You get what I’m saying?) They were brothers-in-arms at the Alamo. They’re both incapable of not lying. Michael dreams about him the same number of times he dreams about Jentry. (Don’t worry it’s still not creepy.) They somehow avoid the stereotypical “high school love triangle drama” plot points between the two of them only because they’re busy fucking up their relationships in even bigger ways. Oh, and he prom-posed to Kit.

Michael-Stella: walking cliche of the high school “it” couple that was doomed the moment they set foot on the show. They were going to go to college together ffs. They dodge love triangle cliches regarding Jentry because they both think she’s that cool. She makes him protein bars. (Which suck, but it’s the thought that counts.) Football player x comphet lesbian. No seriously, she’s the most comphet lesbian to ever comphet lesbian.  They have cliche “romantic chemistry”, but then they break up because he lies to her about wanting to be a shitty flute player over a superstar wide receiver recruit (except it’s not really a lie, but also it is), and they move over the “awkward exes” period and are much better characters and friends. He dreams about her at night as well. (Again, still not creepy.)

Jentry-Stella: the girliest girl friend duo in the world. Stella helps her adjust to a new school in a way that is so nice and sweet that it’s one of the more unrealistic parts of the show. They have a scene in Stella’s bedroom. Their male love interests fumble them at roughly the same time, and then they do spirit week together and are having the time of their lives. She braids Jentry’s hair. They’re both so cool, but also so lame in their own ways. Also there’s no way Stella doesn’t have somewhat of a crush on her because 1) Jentry is that cool and pretty and awesome, and 2) Stella is a certified girl lover.

Kit-Stella: look they didn’t really interact in canon, but he’s on her shit list. She’s got her eye on him at all times, because Jentry may have forgiven him, but she’s watching out for her friend. She 100% gave him the shovel talk. Things get REALLY awkward if Jentry and/or Michael aren’t there, because these two are easily the weak link of the QPR.

Also all four of them are some form of queer.

Like even if we assume that passionspren are only summoned by the most intense love and/or horniness - that's almost worse isn't it? Because you wouldn't be able to laugh it off like 'haha just a passing thought. Whoops again? Hahaha oh I suppose I have a little crush'

Anyway Kaladin doing one of his canonical epic hero glowing stunts with his canonical destroyed/soaked clothing (what. the man is constantly avoiding shardblades and arrows by a hairsbreath and flying around In Highstorms. The only reason he would even have pants at the end of WOR after the everstorm/highstorm fight is because we're following comic book rules- there's no way this man isn't going through clothes faster than James T Kirk - even if he's not his uniform shirt is WHITE and -)

ANYWAY kaladin having one of his Protaganist Moments and like. There is less than than zero time between the 'Oh. Oh.' Moment and Eventual Feelings Reveal because blorbo B is very visibly displaying a personified manifestation of intense romantic adoration.
