Like I love Piers. I do. But it will forever erk me on how he just. Pushes so much on Marnie. I don't think it's malicious by any means, it's clear he adores her. But again, the " team yell situation would've been out of control if it wasn't for her" as if he's not the adult there. Or the " I'm not much of a gym leader, so I want my sister to take over for me", despite her interests being. Not that atm.

And I don't exactly hate these flaws for Piers. I think they're really interesting! But both the game and masters kinda don't do anything with it. At least masters goes " yeah, my sister wants to be champion, so I'm still gonna be a gym leader for now and let her do her own thing " but it's still banking on the fact Marnie will eventually become the gym leader in her place. Like he doesn't mean to do this, but he's putting so much pressure on the girl. Him and team yell! And I don't think that's fair! But nah, they still have a good relationship - and I want them to! But I also want them to address this. I think their entire situation is just messy, and pokemon isn't exactly showing that.

I do think it's interesting, according to Marnie, she feels like the reason her and Piers don't argue is because Piers is holding back on her. And that she would want that sibling squabble. Like! God that's so interesting! And kinda sad! To know your older brother is holding back emotions for your sake! There's so much you could do with these two I swear, and yet! We don't get much!

Some. Sort of spectrum. From most likely to least likely.

And by kitten-pile I mean This

I'll put a transcript under cut for easier reading! 🫡

How Likely Are They to Kitten Pile?

__

Mirabilis: "are you tired..? do you need a break...? ohh we could take one together..."

If she likes/trusts you even a little, she wants to cuddle about it!!!

-

Sharena and Peony: "Okay! 💖 Yay! 💖"

Shari: The only thing stopping her is social conventions -- making her MORE likely to jump at the opportunity!

Peony: Learning social awareness as she goes, and is surprisingly good at it?

-

Triandra: "Aren't we a bit old for that...? But... even so..."

Embarrassed, conflicted, but feels strangely nostalgic at the notion...

-

Plumeria: "I'm not so petal-soft that I'd resort to such INDECENCY, I mean even if your intentions are Pure USE YOUR HEADS YOU FOOLS!! Girl, the IMPLICATIONS!!!"

Desperately wants to join the kitten-pile, but her Issues and Pride gets in the way.

-

Moe: "aw, so cutes!"

Generally touch adverse, extremely picky even with the people it likes/loves -- everything is entirely on its terms.

When I was panicking yesterday about not being super happy with my school and thinking about what would happen if I were to drop out I think most of the existential anxiety around that is due to how my parents treat my brother. My brother is 2 years younger than me and dropped out of school years ago and has never had a job and I think since then he’s been taking some classes online but I don’t really know much tbh. But my parents are always really hard on him about being in classes or getting a job or having some kind of plan and I’m not super close with him for other reasons and he has some issues but I could never get on board with the things my parents criticize him for. I don’t think my parents realize how hearing this over the years has instilled in me and probably my little sister an anxiety about not having it ‘together’ not having a plan for our lives school or career wise and I think maybe I jump into things without knowing if they’re really right for me in the long term because I fear that if I’m undecided or take time off I’ll be treated the way he is

I hate the feeling of being cross bc of various stressors and like while my being cross is valid bc I have very legitimate reasons to be stressed and unhappy I hate how it impacts my ability to be supportive and emotionally patient with other people because then I feel like not only am I in a bad mood but I’m failing in filling the role I want to be filling for other people. Like my bad mood is compromising my ability to make other peoples moods less bad

Can we please talk about how useless Twitch’s struggle within the last episodes became when it ended up being Mo and Robbie who saved everyone.

Because you have this older sister character watch her family die in front of her and so she takes charge of the situation (again, as she is known to do) and does every possible thing and does everything right and follows plans and gets help and sets aside pain and hurt to do this one thing even if it won’t bring back her family. And then it amounts to nothing, because she failed to defeat the big bad guy, her brother dies protecting her because if anyone can fix this, it’s Twitch, and then the bad guy dies amidst his glory and Twitch is allowed a moment to grieve and to be angry and it could’ve been a ‘the power of her love activates something and she gets a power up and is able to use that to save her people’ to still fit the kids’ show vibe, or they could’ve had her go “I know what to do!” By trying to reverse engineer the wand or something, but no, they go the lazy route and just have the humans fix everything. Again.

And it undoes all this struggle and trauma and stress that Twitch just went through. It makes it all useless and meaningless because then all they had to do was wake up Mo and Robbie and they wouldn’t have had to go through all that. And it’s just really sad to me. So many things wrong with this finale but I think this is one of the main things that made me upset the most, lol.

I also don’t understand why the Terrans were deactivated when they aren’t Energon based but I suppose that’s a rant for another day

I find the sibling dynamics in the untamed genuinely fascinating because like jiang cheng has all the flaws of a youngest sibling but he ALSO has to fulfill the roles and responsibilities of an oldest sibling (his family’s heir and leader of his clan) which results in a man who sucks so bad and fails so much 🥰 i love him

honestly im just so happy about my work life rn. yeah i turned down an opportunity to move it forward, but my boss was so understanding and made it very clear the position is mine if/when i decide im ready.. its a relaxed environment with very few customers per shift so i can really connect and help people.. i get to kill time however i want between customers.. my work life doesnt affect my home life at all and im never stressed to go into work.. its nice after two years of taking work Super Fucking Seriously !!
