men will literally do home renovations on a whole ass haunted mansion before sending a raven to his wife and children

Interrupting my normal posting but I thought it would be nice to share that I bought Brittany's stuff from Bottoms and it came with a bunch of random notes between Isabel and Brittany.

This might be a hot take but I feel like people take the "meditation" scene in 5x20 too seriously. To me, it shows that opposites attract with Chenford and that Tim/Isabel are mirrors.

Yet despite that Chenford works very together, whereas Isabel and Tim just aren’t meant to be.

If it had been up to Belle they would have been married weeks ago. But they had to get everything in line and convince all of their people that a quiet intimate ceremony was the best idea. People in her country believed Belle to be dead and that rumour could not stick if it was known all over the world that she had wed the King of Legos. Still the day was approaching, by this time the next day they would be husband and wife and yet-- she was still stuck in her head. She knew that she shouldn't have been there knocking on the door to his rooms but she needed to have this conversation. "Hi. Can we talk?" A pause before she quickly spoke again, "I promise it's nothing bad and I'm definitely showing up at the altar tomorrow."

isabel and dimitri as kids of colour who silently and selflessly shoulder the burdens of their friends and family because they've realised the adults around them aren't capable of protecting them

isabel having to step up as leader of the activity club because the teacher that should've been that is so caught up in his own problems that he's failing you and your friends. dimitri never complaining and continually putting aside his feelings so that he can help his family and appease peekaboo so no one else gets hurt. BEING A KID OF COLOUR AND REALISING THE WORLD WON'T PROTECT YOU

every time that I remember that Hilbert heard Lovelace get shot, that Hilbert died thinking Lovelace was also dead, died not knowing what she was and what she was capable of... I feel so sad, and so curious about how he might've reacted, and so disappointed that I'll never know :'(

jason todd has so many underrated canon love interests. essence, isabel, artemis, and rose are all characters i love with him. like those are good ships. why is everyone ignoring them?

there’s something so brilliant in cooper howard’s costume design - it’s so much more than just a simple blue and gold cowboy fit.

at the beginning of the show, before the bombs dropped, cooper howard was a good person - always kind to others despite the circumstances or how he was feeling in the moment.

you could say… he was exemplifying the golden rule.

this is evident in his costuming - cooper is decked out in gold even when the bombs dropped. the golden rule is still so close to his heart - i mean come on - look at how tight that bandana is around his neck.

even in certain lighting, his hat looks gold.

cooper howard being a good person and living by the golden rule is what barb probably fell in love with (she has her own interesting character analysis and thought process which i would love to discuss later). because this trait is so admired by her and those around cooper, she probably saw him as who she would hope future generations would become as they grow up in the vaults. people like him are the better future she envisions - so it’s no coincidence that the vault suit is in his colors.

what does the blue symbolize?

well, to me, i think it’s the corporate presence in the world. there’s more blue in the suit than there is gold - hinting at vaultech’s corporate greed, capitalism, and evil machinations. (there was also blue in his old cowboy costume - i.e. the presence of the studio and how they use cooper to push a mccarthyism narrative. kinda in the same way vaultech will use him)

the blue in the suit - symbolizing vaultech’s overwhelming presence and the reason for such a bleak and cruel world - does not swallow up the gold - the small semblance of humanity’s capacity to do and be good. it’s the small hint at barb’s intentions (analogous to the road to hell being paved with good intentions).

yet the man who was an inspiration for vaultech’s workers - the man who they all wished they could be like, the man who symbolized all the “do good” ideas they pass down to their children but in the end have no intention of following them (wink wink, looking at you, hank) - was in the end stripped of all his humanity by the world vaultech created (wow, would you look at that? another analogy for capitalism!)

this man, once rich in morals now robbed of them all, wanders the wasteland a ghoul. everything has been taken from him - symbolized being devoid of layers of skin.

now, he’s nothing but the ghost of the man he once was - haunted by what has been done. everything he wears as the ghoul is frayed, tattered, and dark - symbolizing that cooper howard, that kind and caring man before the bombs is dead.

but wait - is that…

you don’t see it? Ok, i’ll zoom in some more

GOLD? (perhaps even the same shirt he was wearing during the bomb drop??)

perhaps the golden rule, those values that he once held so dearly, are still there just dormant - waiting to be awaken again.

maybe cooper howard can come back… that just maybe there’s still hope for the good in humanity…
