Giving Hades the temperament of a middle school guidance counselor is probably the greatest use of characterization I have ever seen in my life

Green Gay Ninja's "team full of strong opinionated leaders" ran into a lot of communication issues on Day 1, but nobody has more experience wrangling loud rowdy people than FitMC.

I bet Gustavo knows how’s exactly small he is and uses his charms and adorableness to get tips , and it’d work

Peppino pays Gus very well (esp after postgame) so theres no need to have tips. He lets Gus have the jar there anyway, but at the cost of having Pep occasionally come up behind him and catch him conning these poor customers

they made him study a lot, train, not sleep, and didn’t give him any glasses . It was immediately hell on ice

TK talking about himself vs. Other people talking about TK

and the thing is that dick *did* need tim's emotional support and help during the beginning of the batman reborn era because dick's life was also falling apart and they did need to help each other badly and tim leaving him to fix everything and handle the city and damian by himself *was* mean and a bit selfish, but also if tim had stayed to do this, there would have been no real chance for good independent growth for himself (in-universe and narratively speaking) and staying to help dick manage the city would have also meant deprioritizing his own wants and continuing to push down his own grief to do what's best for the greater good and ignoring both his suspicions and what he felt he needed to do at the time (search for bruce, prove himself right, have a breakdown around the world as he figured out his place in it) to focus instead on prioritizing what was currently best for current batman/dick's sake. which is just. kind of a continuation of what he's done/tried to do since he showed up in alpod. (would therapy probably have been a healthier option to move past this? well, yes, but unhealthy coping mechanisms or gtfo frankly) (anyways despite the fact he left to ostensibly find bruce, which is still batman related, leaving is still what allowed tim to get into situations that made him solidify himself as the person he wanted to be moving forth into adulthood + get to the point where he is still helping batman but also is starting to prioritize himself over prioritizing batman's needs so leaving was the objectively correct decision for himself)

anyways, they were both doing the equivalent of putting on their own oxygen masks first here instead of prioritizing what the other felt they needed at the time. and that's okay. they're both allowed to be a bit selfish at this point.

I’ve seen a few posts saying and even at times hoping Tommy is a villain so that BuckTommy can break up and I’m like why??

Surely considering it’s his first Queer relationship we should want things if they do end to end on good terms so he doesn’t think he’s fucked either way and that it was a mistake.

If he has a terrible experience with his first time dating a guy it might set him back a little and sure everyone has bad times when dating but since it’s his first time with a guy I’d want it to be a nice experience with maybe a little drama to keep things interesting but overall a good relationship he looks back on fondly if they ever separated. We don’t need to villainise a character for things to end.

no one talks enough about how there's apparently crew on the vestal destroyer, even after spectra and gus take it. bc thats so funny. can you imagine just being these regular ass people and your bosses are a group of some of the most insufferable (and evil) teenagers ever.

and you're chilling out, doing your job, trying not to get killed bc these kids are insane and the king is a dick and u never know what's going to happen bc u watched the giant cyborg dragon blast a hole into the side of the ship once and that took SO much work to fix and thats not even in the top 20 of the wildest shit to happen on the ship.

then all of a sudden the guy who looks like cloud strife if he was trying to cosplay a bird is like "i have stolen the ship." and ur just like "do we get paid??" and they're like "?? yes???? we're not that evil" which like. that's debatable but you don't say anything you just continue doing ur job. like technically u should be pissed off abt the royal family like lying and shit and how bad that all is but you've also been working here for 2 years and already knew all that shit and the pay is good so fuck it. plus the break room gossip is juicy as hell and contributes to like 75% of ur dopamine intake.

Sure I’m glad (mostly) that YA is the booming juggernaut it is today because it’s cool that 14 year olds can have stories for them. Sure. More books is always better. That’s fun— thoughts on book influencer culture and grown-ups and literature as soulless and ever-churning product aside. It’s cool to walk into any tiny neighborhood library branch and see a dedicated space for teenagers. When I was a young teenager there were a couple of small shelves in between adult audiobooks and the biographical section where you walked in and your choices were either Twilight, Eragon, or some candy-pink Sex And The City-lite dishy little book like the one that has got some reason come rushing unbidden to the forefront of my memory this morning called “Vegan Virgin Valentine” which I never wound up reading but was always compelled by through a mixture of intrigue and condescension. The YA landscape pre-Hunger Games mania was like…here’s a super scandalous book about anorexia or teen pregnancy written in verse. Or a pandering Book For Boys about combat or fart humor. Or a twilight knock-off about a girl who has sex with a ghost. So while any glimpse of the bloated realm of teen publishing makes me feel exhausted on account of the feverish adult fans who populate it it’s probably full of important stories for teenagers. But like truly Kids These Days have no idea what it’s like to have your only option be called “The Earth, My Butt, And Other Big Round Things” (real) or “Everlost: Soulfyre Book 3” (fabricated poorly for effect)

You know what's (extra) funny about this scene? It was totally unnecessary for Porsche to use Kinn's phone here -

Because we see later that he had an actual camera on him:

Okay, I can hear you asking - where was he keeping that thing? And that's a fair question that we'll never get the answer to...

(or maybe he bought it at the café giftshop after they ate)

But regardless - Kinn also had a whole new phone that he was planning to give Porsche:

So, Kinn totally could have taken the opportunity at the café to give Porsche his present - let him take as many pictures as he wants, and let him know at the start of the date that he trusts Porsche to have a phone outside of missions, because he's more than just a bodyguard

But then - Porsche wouldn't have been able to leave his mark on Kinn's phone. To make sure Kinn always has something to remember Porsche by, in case he just so happens to miss him too
