tao xu and elle argent starting to fall in love broke a very core part of my brain, because i have quite literally never seen representation on screen of this before. a straight boy falling in love with a trans girl, and being fiercely protective and caring and accepting of her; and a trans girl falling in love with said straight boy and laughing with and caring deeply about him too... I JUST ADORE THEM WITH MY WHOLE HEART

Constantly stuck between “Let these characters be friends! Platonic bonds are just as strong as romantic, and not everyone needs to be dating in order for them to have a valid, close relationship” and “eheheh gay”

Can we take a moment to acknowledge the love triangle from Cole's perspective tho?
Youve just spent all afternoon scrounging around a scrapyard for spare parts to help you return to the city amidst a robot apocalypse. Just as you step into your bestie's parents' house, said bestie suddenly lunges at you and starts calling you names. You have no clue why but obviously youre not gonna let this pass, so you start fighting back.
Then your other friend says "this macho stuff is making you both look like fools! Maybe you belong together!" And in that instance you vaguely remember your bestie's girlfriend momentarily flirting with you the other day, and you begin to wonder if thats why your friend is so mad at you. But you dont have time to ask because now youre being attacked by robots. And then you get stuck in a metal compactor with your friend, and you apologize for fighting because "you had no clue" - and you really didnt! You initially had no idea what was going on and in a lot of ways you still dont.
Like. Idk. Sure, Cole eventually figured out that they were fighting over Nya, but he didnt know that in the beginning. All he knew was thay Jay was mad at him all of a sudden. Jay just went for the throat and he responded in kind.
This more than anything suggests that Cole's continued presence in the love triangle is mostly just a commitment to the bit, and honestly i can respect that
