i say we don't use romeo and juliet as the poster-child for good love stories anymore
BENEDICK AND BEATRICE IS WHERE IT'S REALLY AT
like their banter is genuinely great, shakespeare basically INVENTED tsunderes, even if you read their interactions in the original old english, it's still very amusing, and you can still see their chemistry together
(this was basically an excuse to talk about how much i adore much ado about nothing)

Morty is Diane's replacment-I feel like that was the general emotional conclusion. Although a little bit twisted because it was all a part of Morty's biggest fear is, which I guess means that his biggest fear is that it's not the case that he's Diane's replacement and not the most important thing in the world to Rick?
This episode was clever in the sense of that it gave a deep insight into both Rick and Morty at the same time. Morty seems to know Rick well enough that he can probably pretty accurately assume how we would react to Diane, which in turn means that because it's all in his own head means that it's also showing off his own fear and the idea that if he wasn't the most important thing in Rick's life, if Rick didn't have someone in his life that he loved as much as Diane even if in an incredibly different way, Rick would it die from grief, and Morty wouldn't have the life that he does... which, despite the amount of trauma and heard that it causes, is ultimately something that makes him who he is and that he treasures and values.
The montage in general was incredibly soppy so much to the point that even almost I couldn't take it-Rick in general is so incredibly soppy both with Diane as well as with his family and I feel like in the general idea of the montage part was that it's the only thing that matters or keeps him grounded from the kind of heartache that we temporarily got from seeing the feeling that we got from him being around Diane.
Rick and Morty initially was the last kind of show that anyone would have expected this kind of teeth rotting soppy feeling.

I saw a post saying that Nora bashes on therapy all throughout aftg and generally casts it in a bad light, and I was just like ??? Like, did we read the same books? Because it's made abundantly clear that most of the Foxes love Betsy and don't mind their required therapy sessions, and Andrew literally goes to therapy and visibly benefits from it. He chooses to go back even after he doesn't have to! Even Aaron comes around eventually after we learn that he didn't like it. It's literally only Neil who shows such a dramatic distaste for it, but even then, he still trusts Betsy to help Andrew and Aaron!
So I don't know what books they were reading, but to me, I think aftg actually showed therapy in a pretty positive light, even with the fact that the literal main character didn't like it. Like, not everyone likes the idea of therapy, that's just realistic, and if any character in aftg wouldn't like it, it's Neil, who had so many secrets to hide. And yet, despite that, we still see multiple characters obviously benefit from therapy and Betsy.

if u’re still doing these… top 5 most insane martian moments.
Sry for the late response, I really had to think on it! But these have been pretty fun to do so thank you!! <3
1. The entirety of Monaco 2010
Any Monaco celebration has a special place in my heart as you probably well know! But just Monaco 2010 as an entirety is insane to me, to name a few: the matching Porsches...their parc ferme hug...Seb trying and failing to pull Mark into the pool...them jumping into the harbor together and Seb having to pull Mark up onto the dock, MONACO REALLY GAVE US SO MUCH 🤧 but also this race being the calm before the storm, like seeing them be all cute with each other but then knowing how the season ends and how things continue to proceed after that
2. Their Singapore 2008 date
Always holds a special place on my heart. Just that we have so many pictures and even footage(!!!) of their PR mandated date in a time where this kind of thing wasn't really common yet. The caption of the YouTube vid "Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel share an evening in Singapore" 😵💫 and I also think often about this comment on that vid calling Seb a "kleine Mädchen." I just think it's very cute. Giggly STR Seb and older gruff RBR Mark, not yet affected by teammate tensions
3. Japan 2007
I think its always very interesting the foreshadowing you can read into while watching older races. I love that Martian were always on an inevitable collision course. Like imagine being Mark and that rookie who crashed into the back of you then goes to win a race before you and then becomes your teammate and then becomes wdc. That they were on this collision course before they even became teammates and Seb had barely been in the sport yet. And LIKE that quote from Mark about Seb about "kids with no experience" and Seb crying in his garage, crazy.
4. Turkey 2010
I have such a fondness for "WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING HERE!? WHAT A STUPID ACTION! I'M GOING HOME! FUCK YOU!"(to the point where my friends who know nothing about f1 know about that quote by proxy bcs I quote it so much") I think it's interesting how much Martian's conflicts revolve around team orders and disobeying radios. It's funny bcs in Turkey 2009, a very similar situation to both Turkey 2010 and Malaysia 2013 happens, them telling Seb to stay behind Mark bcs of whatever reasons. And in 2009, Seb is clearly 🫤 about it but obeys but then goes on to try to overtake Mark in 2010 and fails, but then succeeds in 2013, very interesting to see how that dynamic evolves and grows more toxic! But by far the best part about Turkey 2010 is them having to take that "Us in our Get-Along T-Shirt" pic 😭 it's so funny and I wish they'd do press releases like this nowadays
5. That Monaco 2021 interview where Mark interjects about knowing the meaning behind the coins in Seb's race boots
It's just very sweet to me. There's some post about it on here that explains how meaningful it is, but I don't feel like searching for it, so I'm kinda just paraphrasing that. But like imagine them having a conversation where Seb explains it to Mark and the meaning behind it, and like probably a decade later, Mark still remembers it in perfect detail, enough to remember about the specificities about which coin goes in which boot and why.
Obligatory mentions: Malaysia 2013 of course(but I wanted to mention others, but Multi-21 is a given when considering crazy Martian moments), Australia 2016 podium, Mark's various Instagram forays during Seb's retirement, that one interview where Mark grabs Seb from behind while Love Will Tear Us Apart plays, when Seb sat on Mark's shoulders, anything of them from Abu Dhabi 2022, etc etc

Dunno if anyone's done anything more extensive with this but I wanted to translate things in honkai star rail :> like- words you see on posters and whatnot. I saw the wanted posters and wanted to know what everything else says lol
Me: I'm not going to do everything and put it up here
Also me: does most if not everything in the administrative district
I'll be using the capitalization that's used in the in game writing (i.e. one sign might say BELOBOG and another might say Belobog) also note that there are in game typos and I'll mention that after writing them. If I get anything else wrong though, feel free to lmk. I tried to get things as accurate as possible but it's hard to make out letters sometimes and/or I may just mistype ^^
