FLCL Shoegaze EP#03 Finale - Gene-Bato (Generational Battle): Kana tries desperately to stop Harumi from bleeding out on top of the tower as the various ghosts become visible across town. Meanwhile, Harumi becomes a purple ghost, and is absorbed by the giant purple bird ghost atop the tower, seeing visions of herself buying candy with a long-lost friend and riding on a space shuttle to a colony on Mars. Masaki loses control of his N.O. Channel as the world begins to merge with an alternate universe, but the power of the channel threatens to explode out of control. Suddenly, a giant, flying. snake-like creature bursts out of Masaki's forehead and swallows the power source, forcing a shutdown and splitting both universes apart. Masaki looks around for Harumi, only to discover that everyone on this world but him has forgotten her existence. Some time later, Masaki can still see the ghosts everywhere, as they have become invisible to everyone but him again, and despises this world. But at the end, Masaki finds himself able to cross over into the world where Harumi exists and shows them his sketchbook, thanks to a mini version of the snake from before, named Atomsk.

alicent being forced to choose between saving aegon or saving helaena in the exact same way that helaena was forced to choose between saving jaehaerys or saving jaehaera, and making the exact same choice helaena did to save her daughter, because the truth is that there is no saving her son no matter what she tries to do... the writers ate this one lil thing because the parallels are paralleling

Rewatching Adventure Time, I can't help but think so much Princess Bubblegum discourse would be non-existent if people actually watched the show to completion instead of randomly hyperfocusing on some of PB's bad deeds.
There's a very bizarre and commonly held belief that Princess Bubblegum did terrible things and got away with it, that nobody held her accountable. When the show makes a point, repeatedly, that Princess Bubblegum is well meaning but deeply flawed, and to some characters, straight up evil.
I see fans point to "The Cooler" a lot as proof that PB is an irredeemable character, and while it is her worst act in the entire show.... I think people forgot that that was the point. Near the end of the episode she stops spying on people in Ooo because it was an invasion of privacy. In another episode she's called out for exploiting some aliens and lets them go. She feels ashamed that her own people are terrified of her. She loses her entire kingdom, and realizes she needs to get her shit together.
I'm pretty critical of shows that are way too lenient on flawed female characters but Princess Bubblegum isn't one of them. She's awesome, and heavily misunderstood.

The difference between Season 1 and Season 3 of the Bad Batch
Season 1:
Omega: Crosshair, can I have a hug?
Crosshair: The audacity??? Of this Child??? Nothing would revolt me more than to show any kind of weakness to sate your neediness.
Season 3:
Omega: Crosshair, you're getting a hug.
Crosshair: The charity??? Of my Sister??? Nothing would give me more joy than to be hugged by the Literal Angel that you are, though I am a lowly worm.
