The Importance of Nami's Smile

There's something I noticed when reading the manga that might be important in the future... and it relates to Nami and Sanami. So, Nami's smile and laughter are implied to have saved Belle-mère. The ex-marine was about to give up on life, but seeing Nojiko holding a happy Nami gave her life meaning again.

Once Belle-mère goes back to Cocoyashi, we  again see how important Nami's smile and laughter are.

Okay, besides my shipper side, I do think that there might exist some deeper meaning into why Oda chose to make Nami such a happy baby whose laughter and smile are so important and captivating - and I do feel it might connect to Joy Boy, Wano and the Lost Kingdom, but this is a theory for another day.  Anyway, back to my point...

Now, do you remember what Nami was doing when Sanji first saw her?

She was laughing... her laughter was what caught his attention first.

And it's just... so cute and meaningful to me.

I just thought it was a small yet nice detail that Oda might have done on purpose (or not), and it could have an important meaning in the future.

(I also have a feeling that Nami's smile will have a great importance to the conclusion of One Piece as much as other important characteristics from each of the East Blue Straw Hats - Sanji's policy to feed anyone who is hungry might come up again, Usopp's lies will save a lot of people and Zoro's loyalty to Luffy and promise to Kuina will probably give him a huge power up to deafeat his last enemy). Again, this is a theory for another time, hehe

Of course, this is just me, and I'm probably reading too much into this... but it's nice to just analyze these things, right?

Back to Sanami...

To me, Sanji fell for Nami the moment he laid eyes on her, even if he himself might not have noticed at first. But the fact that Oda chose their first interaction to have something to do with such an important characteristic of Nami is so interesting, endearing, and meaningful.

Gosh, the panel of baby Nami smiling just breaks my heart so much. It's so beautiful. Nami is a beautiful person. She deserves the world.

Why no one is talking about Spider-Zero being a future version of Gabriella O‘Hara

She was present as just Spider-Zero in the Spider-Verse 2019 comics, as a young teenager who lost her world and traveled from universe to universe, ultimately recruiting Spider-Man. She tend became the Master Weaver, who guards and protects the Web of Life and Destiny, pretty much the job Miguel has in Across the Spider-Verse.

Most importantly, her name and identity was never revealed in the comics. She lost her world due to an Incursion, which caused a dimensional contraction, basically two realities or Earths to collide with each other. I can totally see this in what Miguel did when he reemplaced his other self, but with a more Matrix-like imagery.

She traveled through worlds, and then became Master Weaver. But most importantly, she contacted Miles Morales to help her repair the Web of Life and Destiny.

If she is not in Beyond the Spiderverse, then I will be deeply disappointed.

they had their hot girl summers because they’d knew they’d be traveling a ton and meeting so many people and it can be hard to communicate when you’re that busy and flying all over the place and getting not much privacy together and they had an agreement instead of fighting or being sad. and then when hot girl summer winded down they had the marriage/relationship talk that we know exists because dream told us since he got rsd over sapnap saying they had to find george a wife. #mytheory

well thank god for sapnap i guess

Why Fist Thingy is (or is in cahoots with) Walkie Talkie theory (and also my Actual Thoughts about Walkie Talkie)

here to tell you guys mytheory on why FIST THINGY IS THE SECRET INANIMATE INSANITY INVITATIONAL VILLAIN!!!!!! read it. (contains spoilers for iii17!!!)

(just wanna preface this with the fact this is mostly a joke!!! i thought of this while rewatching the whole show back in october and decided the new episode would be a time to post about it. did it for the funnies and the slightest chance there may be some merit to it)

Ok first item on the agenda this is gonna get wild so strap in tight or else it may blow your seatbelts off: iii has introduced the concept of fist thingy being sentient, doing things a non-sentient object would not do

this is something that the show has NEVER hinted at before, making it seem almost as if they’ve added this in specifically for a reason..an EVIL reason?!?! suspicious!!!

second! we have fist thingy Sending Contestants To Indefinite Island. we know it has to be intentional on fist thingy’s part, since it’s done consistently, HOWEVER. it is completely without mephone’s knowledge—until iii10, he had no idea about indefinite island at all and he did not give fist thingy the direction to send eliminated contestant characters there. which means that someone ELSE has to have done it—whoever is behind walkie talkie .. or fist thingy itself, perhaps ?! mysterious!!!

next up here at spot number three we have the springy connection. now that it has been confirmed that springy and walkie talkie Are Indeed working together, there is something Verrrrrry interesting i was thinking…what sort of object is fist thingy? a boxing glove. now, what do springy’s mitten-covered hands look like when curled into a fist (!!!), and particularly in this image at the end of the ep? THAT’S RIGHT, BOXING GLOVES!!! curious!!!

but ashy! i hear you cry out. this is all so farfetched! what reason would fist thingy have to be walkie talkie in the first place? well imagine this little ones. fist thingy is just like mephone. overly attached to the show. been here since the early days and wants it to go on forever. however it was mostly left behind in s2, save for a few scarce appearances—so it’s desperate for any chances to stay in use in s3 it finally finds a voice through the use of a walkie talkie (don’t. Don’t question how.) and tries to keep it going as much as it can because once it’s over—what use is it going to be anymore? also hey if you wanna add in the “something bad happens to every cohost” thing then fist thingy has a reason to hate the floor specifically—it’s shown frustration over not being able to send him away

or, Alternatively, it’s the other way around. what i mean is fist thingy still isn’t sentient but was hijacked and is being controlled by walkie talkie—still is walkie talkie, but not technically actually walkie talkie or just in cahoots with walkie talkie! either way it has to be one of them, because fist thingy wouldn’t just be sending contestants to indefinite island for no reason BUT YEAH!!! end of my awesome theory unless i remember some other point hope you enjoyed …

honestly it could end up being something Similar to this but with one major detail different. that’s what happened last time when i predicted bot in april 2021 but thought they were meeple made

if you want my Actual Thoughts behind walkie talkie. who it is, i don’t know exactly. but she’s definitely a kinda metaphor or stand-in for like, The Corporation, the way capitalism affects art, you know—the whole ai art metaphor as well as the whole deal with springy

she’s someone who wants to Profit from the show, i think. which is why she’s so desperate to keep it going like mephone is—not that she holds any sentimental value towards it, but because it’s popular, she wants to make it her cash cow and milk it dry and mephone is a person who would let it happen

she Could be from meeple, i suppose, but i don’t really think so? we’ll see. although she doesn’t appear to have any relations with it cobs Did enjoy profiting off of the show without mephone’s knowledge, aside from that though there doesn’t appear to be much reason to see them as the same this is just a Different corporation. a different capitalism, i guess! while cobs would orchestrate fights and such to make the show more exciting and adam begged for bow to stay because viewers liked her, walkie talkie doesn’t seem to really care about entertainment value. she doesn’t care about the art. she prefers quantity over quality and to get that quantity, to get The Money, she has to keep the show running for as long as she can, way past what’s natural. 2 different kinds of corporate meddling

the show has sponsorships. MAYBE THE LIFERING SPONSORS MEANT SOMETHING AFTER ALL!!! springy wants to sell a contestant as a mascot to endlessly profit off of them

etc etc this has gotten very long …im excited to see the finale!!! what is walkie talkie’s DEAL!!

#mytheory is that he invested too much money in coop live which is why he had to sell his car and only can afford to ride lime bikes and go on commercial flights we should set up a go fund me 😔

and he has to live that way till the arena opens

[narrie]

honestly #mytheory is that maybe she knew someone or had some kind of connection that harry had a thing with and maybe he was dick-ish like ghosted them something along those lines i probably would call a man a loser in that case

i think a few ppl were def personally affected by the strata makeout for sure

[eveningclouds]

oh my god you have monkeypox??!?!?!?!? i hope you recover asap i'm so sorry :(

hiii i'm sorry this is late it turns out i definitely jumped the gun w the monkeypox i just had/have bronchitis + temporary vision problems bcz of vitamin defificiencies (#mytheory is still i think i might still also have an eye infection) but i had made a few admittedly unwise decisions in late july and i attributed my symptoms to the wrong unwise decisions. but i am feeling better just on a limited electronics/no studying/reduced int*rnship hours/one of those big inhaler things/no longer ghosting my nutritionist lifestyle & hopefully will fully bounce back within a few weeks :) sorry this got super long but yes no reason to worry no monkeypox just existing chronic things that are able 2b rectified. i apprexiate ur good wishes i hope u are dojng ok as well!!! ❤️❤️❤️

My FUCKIN THOUGHTS on the trailer

here are my dumbass theories (that are not in order of the trailer so bite me) ANYWAY:

so THIS scene

this is a party. i assume it’s to celebrate the fall of the first order (because we all know they will) just like they have done in all of the trilogies’ endings. we also see poe exhale like he’s relived.

this is a dream (rey’s), or leia’s apparition coming to give her some words of wisdom before a fucking plot event. we know it’s rey’s dream because of the previous trailer.

this is either comedic relief (shit always happens to C3PO) or it has to do with my clone theory (we’ll get to that later)

this is rey getting pissed about something and throwing a tantrum because i’m not seeing anything (aside from the droid, who is not firing) that could otherwise harm her.

something happens in between these two frames even though it’s from the same scene. but i still have zero idea on what that ribbon is all about.

this scene is kylo going to rey who is waiting for him somewhere, at some point in the movie. but i also notice that he doesn’t seem to be looking for a fight like he usually does.

anyway

this is self explanatory - the final battle. but the conditions on which they happen is still blurry. someone on twitter pointed out that kylo is parring here; not attacking, but defending himself. if THIS (above) scene

...correlates with this frame, then it shows that kylo has just come back from battle and is about to fight rey, which makes me believe that something serious just happened and maybe life changing and redeeming and it really confuses me.

and last but not least....

i have a few ideas about this, but all of them allude to a vision.

in TLJ, rey says she sees kylo turn to the light, but he has seen her turn to the dark.

“when the moment comes, you’ll be the one to turn.”

whether this be because his mind is being altered by palpatine or because it actually happens is still hazy to me. i can’t imagine disney turning rey to the dark, considering her arc is pretty much set in stone. whereas kylo’s....

kylo’s is confusing. no one ever knows what he’s going to do, so could palpatine (as much as i hate to admit it...) be using rey to sway him into submission? just like he did with anakin’s vision of padme?

could (and hear me out - this is coming from someone who doesn’t even really ship reylo) palpatine have tried to seduce him into becoming fully committed to the dark by showing him what could be with him and rey? it’s obvious kylo wants her to rule the galaxy with him: he straight up asked for it in TLJ, but she denied him.

just like anakin did with padme.

so...is this a vision that palpatine is dangling in front of kylo like a dog with a bone? is she actually empress in this dream? she’s not wearing a battle uniform - she’s got on ceremonial robes and jewelry.

this could be the answer (*cringes, but happy for their shipping community i guess*) reylo fans have been looking for. i truly believe that reylo is canon now because of this scene.

or it could very well be rey looking upon herself in a vision too. palpatine could have very well looked into her heart and saw what could seriously tempt her.

here’s my thing too: rey has never had a confrontation with a villain (aside from kylo) who has tried to seduce her to the dark. snoke wanted her dead - he never wanted to train her or to guide her like he did with kylo. so why would they start now?

luke’s quest in the original trilogy was always about his internal conflict between being good and evil, as was anakin’s....as is kylo’s.

“rise of skywalker” is centered around the skywalker family.

kylo is the only living descendant.

anyway, whatever you believe, just know that this epic is going to go out with a fucking bang and it’s gonna blow our shit out of the water.

OH. and one more thing:

this? this is romantic lighting. he’s clean. he’s in freshly laundered robes.

and he’s happy to see someone.

So I just got done watching the Pilot for PLL: The Perfectionists & here are some of my thoughts.

1: Mona talking to herself had me weirded tf out in Alison’s house cause I was like this bitch still crazy your honor

2: Nolan looked like a bad guy to everyone else but literally my dude is protecting everyone around him even if it’s in a shitty way - blackmailing/“cheating”

3: The scene where Nolan calls someone in the woods once he’s out of range makes me think either it’s his sister or the girl he hooked up with to protect Ava from his mother.

4: The ‘They’re Watching’ has to be a warning from Taylor or Mona that Alison finds behind the wallpaper

5: The people we see in the finale scene doesn’t mean Mona’s a robot lol it’s Hotchkiss Technologies who are running around trying to maintain things and I’m pretty sure Mona’s got a Bluetooth somewhere in her ear

Anyways, I’m gonna cry later on bc I’m falling into Marlene’s trap again but can’t wait for next week aha!!

This is the most primitive question ever but isn't Nami's tatoo a windmill and a tangerine but it's obviously an S? Can you make a post about Luffy's POV regarding SaNami? I wonder how people ship him with Nami when he's fully aware about Sanji's affection to Nami they make him look like a heartless douche

Hello, anon! I don't know how long this ask has been here, so I apologize if it took so long to answer! I didn't see this message before!

Anyway, about what you said.

First, about the tattoo: sorry, but I think it's just coincidental that it has an S shape. I think Oda could still use the drawing of the tattoo for something related to Sanji, though... maybe a pattern in something he wears. Idk. But I don't think Oda made Nami's tattoo with Sanji in mind. Maybe... I can't read his mind lol. It would be really nice if it was the case heh

About how Luffy sees Sanji and Nami: first, I'm not going to say that LN is impossible to happen, honestly.

In my opinion, the interactions Luffy and Nami had feel more like that of a brother and sister than that of a couple, but we never know when it comes to how Oda writes romance. So... Yeah. I still don't see it happening, though, for a series of reasons.

First, like you said, I'm pretty sure that Luffy, in his own way, is aware that Sanji has feelings for Nami. Not only did he witness key moments where Sanji expressed how important Nami is to him, but Luffy also incentives Sanji to help Nami.

Even without caring about romance, Luffy saw Sanji:

volunteer to help Luffy carry Nami up a mountain to find a cure,

almost die in an avalanche to prevent Nami from getting hurt

get so angry over Nami being kidnapped that he lit himself on fire

talk about how Nami is important to him during Whole Cake

So it's safe to say Luffy knows there's something there. And I think that he even incentivates Sanji to help Nami when it's needed.

You came up with an interesting point: considering the way Oda wrote things, specially how Sanji is so enamoured with Nami (again, more than any other woman) it would be weird to make Luffy end up with Nami, with him knowing about Sanji's feelings. I'm saying this in a writing perspective.

To add more fuel to the fire I remember how Oda clearly stated he doesn't care who Luffy is interested in - which is a question he gets frequently, apparently. And just like Oda doesn't care, Luffy also doesn't care about his own love life. His purpose was always to inspire people to seek freedom. I do think he might end up with someone at the end, but I don't think Oda is actively looking for opportunities to give Luffy romantic scenes in the manga.

Sanji's developement, on the other hand, always had to do with love and emotions. So the idea that Oda always planned a romantic stoyline for him is not farfetched, and the person he likes to write Sanji pursuing the most is Nami.

Again, I really don't know what is in that guy's mind, so maybe at the end he still pulls a uno reverse card and makes LN Canon and Sanji doesn't even care lol But I think it would be a really weird choice, considering the things you have pointed out and other moments we have in the manga.

Most of the LN moments can be interpreted as more of siblings growing a bond - rather than a couple having feelings. For SaNami, especially because of Sanji's side, we can't call what he does as sibling-ish at all, even if Oda calls the Strawhat a "family" and says their dynamic should be interpret as such, he was also the one who chose to make Sanji infatuated with Nami. There's also Robin, ofc, but Nami seems to be a lot more in Sanji's mind.

Once again, it all depends on Nami and how Oda writes her reacting to Sanji's pursuits or how she acts towards Luffy.

We have favorable and unfavorable moments, and every time, it was mostly because of how Oda wrote Nami. So let's wait and see.

Theory about The Ghoul/Cooper: Highly influenced and vulnerable to dishonesty.

Cooper Howard trusts deeply in the people he loves and the idea of the American Dream that was sold to him during the Sino-American war. He fought for those ideals, his country and the people he loved, and before the Great War and drop of the bombs he can't stand any other perspective for his own sanity.

The problem is, he is not a very good actor you see. He usually creates the character of a highly dignified cowboy because it is a projection of what he wants for himself, an ideal version of a man, openly criticizing the choice of the character not doing what he would do in real life (shooting someone), and in his other movie, he plays a role of a man with a dog, with the help of his own dog and not another random dog, I believe because he wanted to portray his own relationship with his loved pet rather than a random role.

He lives his characters and roles, to the point of turning one of them when becoming the Ghoul, this lone cowboy and bounty hunter hurt by his past and tired of the cruelty and dishonesty around the Wasterland.

He uses his emotions and all his heart for his roles and forgets everything else because through his roles he is showing a part of himself in the process, but with the consequence of leaving nothing to protect himself, because he has never created a facade around his person, he is honest and true, th same way we see The Ghoul as he is, no lies nor attempts at dishonesty; he is clear with his intentions to the very end.

But because of this, Cooper is vulnerable and ignorant to true deep dishonesty, to someone who would straight up lie to his face, to someone living two parallel life at the same time. He prides himself on knowing his wife's true motivations and never thinking bad about her, he also sees Lucy and believes her just as transparent but never thought of her surviving SnipSnip.

When Barb showed her real colors during the Vault-Tec meeting, declaring they should drop the bombs themselves, he broke in such a way he went into shock. One would believe he is in fact a good actor, and would try to be good in hiding it, but I would say Barb was a better one by playing two roles at the same time God knows how long and Cooper suspecting nothing of such. This happens when:

1) she convinces him to pose as Vault boy and be part of their promotional campaign

2) then when she invites everyone to the wrap party to their house without telling him, subsequently not showing remorse at him being abandoned by his Hollywood friends

3) then gatekeeping him regarding her status as worried housewife during the war in Anchorade and how stupid his idea of a ranch was

4) ultimately convincing him to accept his dog should go (something we all know made him suspect of Vault-tec and her), for the sake of their security.

But this caused a drift between them, him starting to suspect something was up when she told him they wouldn't be safe if they buy a bunker themselves because it wouldn't work, then trying hard to "put everyone in one of the GOOD vaults, one which would oversee all others".

This is when his world started to crumble. Not only her lying, but she not trusting him enough with the real truth of their situation, manipulating him instead with a dishonest facade.

The worst part is that it is very likely she knows this about him, his soul is rooter in honesty, fairness, and dignity, do the right thing the same way Lucy envisioned before coming out of Vault 33. He doesn't expect his wife to lie to him or represent a version of the world he fought against, he doesn't expect his country to betray him regarding their safety.

We can understand now why he became such a bitter man, and why he seems to avoid the old version of himself.

Maybe he thinks, if he had known, if he hadn't trusted so damn much, if he hasn't been so vulnerable and hasn't opened his heart expecting the same back, maybe he could have done something to stop it all.

Now every time he looks back, he seems to hate the man he was so very much.

Beyond The Spiderverse theory time, and I hope no one gets mad at me about this but...

...I do believe there is a big possibility that Peter B. Parker is going to die, and this will involve Miguel's breaking point which will push him to go against Spots.

I have this theory stuck in my head when seeing how isolated not only from the main Spidersociety team Peter is, but also how he feels let go of his spider-man apprentice and didn't support him against Miguel.

This is obviously because Peter was in crossfire which involved Miguel, a man is suspected he has knows for over a year and HELPED him through the grief of losing his daughter, even when Miguel seems to just brush Peter aside, Peter is familiar with Miguel, even more so than Jess, and then there is Miles who now feels betrayed by his one and only teacher, someone he saw as a role model even when depressed due to a divorce.

Also this could play as Peter not being the only spiderperson in his universe anymore, Mayday is already stated to be a spiderling in development and she will need a Uncle Ben situation to rise. Even if she is young, carrying the weight of her father's legacy might cement this.

Now, returning to the complexity of Miguel and Peter situation here. They are friends, maybe is not evident in the superficial sense when watching the movie for first time, as it seems one-sided because Miguel is distant and cold, but there is familiarity and friendship there.

I mean, Peter was there when Miguel lost his daughter Gabriella, just behind him, and I do believe is not a coincidence the animators did this. Miguel shock and sorrow is palpable , and I wonder what happened then? Afterwards? Who carried battered Miguel to 2099 after he lost the people he loved the most?

As well, Miguel seems distant and tries to isolate himself plenty, but Peter does not care about this, which is not the same as not noticing it. He DOES NOTICE, but there is a deeper layer of something unspoked regarding to what happened that day, because it changed everything.

As well, even when Peter is pushy, Miguel does not push him away, still Miguel, in all his deoression, hurts him while showing Miles the canon events of each one of them. This is because Miguel wants for people to feel his hurt and pain, his sorrow and his depression, and he becomes violent and desperated if no one listen to him, he becomes abusive and destructive against him and also against others. This could be the reason he has nearly no body movements while Mayday was crawling all over him, a symbolism of him not wanting to taint the kid which in some sense symbolices Peter's care, future and parenthood.

And I do believe Peter knows this, for his body language, he does not respond negatively againts Miguel's snarky comments and angry behaviors, he goes and shows him pics of Mayday and even allows the girl to crawls over Miguel, to which the latest says nothing, and Miguel only repriments him but does not push Peter away, because he is desesperate to help the best he can to people he feels need it the most. This seems unchanged until...

"Not you, I had the right amount of you"

I watched that scene several times to pinpoint if Miguel's face is out of annoyance or out of regret to what he is gonna do/say against Peter. Miguel's microexpressions are fantastic during the movie as it shows a lot of emotions even more than other characters around him.

I do believe, maybe I want to believe, is both, annoyance over Peter complete lack of common sense, but also knowing and regreting he will need to push away a good friend, as this friend seems not to realize how high the stakes are and also, his parental skills are seriosly something to be questioned. But the scene plays as if Miguel truly hates what he has to do, just how he said in his own intro.

"Some times I don't like what I have to do"

So, now we knows Peter is going to be in the final movie and he is also bringinf Mayday with him, and I doubt he will be out of the very final fight against Spots, and I think for Miguel is going to be extremely difficult to turn around when his friend is in danger, or when his daughter is.

If it happens, as well, I do not think it will be a quixk dead, I think is going to hurt. Peter might say things to both Miles and Miguel, maybe he will ask Miguel to take Mayday with him to safety, because is important to him, is his daughter and the future of his whole dimension.

For Miles, Peter B. is already an stablished character who is seems as a mentor and parental figure, while for Miguel, Peter is EVERYTHING he would have wanted to do, in some sense he is proud of Peter for having the life himself will never have, and in a more negative and dark side, Miguel might have wished some times for a future where Peter might go away and disappear, for all the pain and sorrow he still experiences due to Gabriella's death.

And if Peter dies, maybe in front of Miguel, or be in front of everyone, Miguel might felt such regret he will snap, regretting not having been ways more careful for what he wished for.

EDIT: As well, is important to realize that Peter B. arc as a mentor and teacher to Miles is already over, Miles choose his path as his own Spider-Man, and Peter does not need to mentor him through it. Miles will be fine without Peter, but I do believe Miguel needs to realize that pushing away his friends and also a posibility of found family is just diving into grief and depression, a self-destructive behaviour as strong as to accept Canon events as facts, is unfair to life itself. And what is more unfair than the sunshine of a man who is Peter, with a little girl and happy wife, with a bright future in front of him, dying when protecting the innocents?

Boy Meets WHAT was never a question but a statement.

-Theory Time- Boy Meets Evil wasn’t our answer, we still have W.H.A.T.

in outro: her , W.H.A.T. is actually revealed to us:

내 모든 wonder (wonder) 에 대한 answer (answer) I call you her, her ‘Cause you’re my tear, tear

w- wonder h- her a- answer t- tear

namjoon revealed that the albums weren’t being released in order. (hence why Her was released 1st despite being second in the order of the acronym and phrase.)

Love Yourself: Her has the 承 symbol which is second character in the phrase 起承轉結 that they used for the Highlight Reel shorts. so it all connects. Her is second in the acronym WHAT and second in the HR phrase.  serendipity is the intro to her and the outro is self titled so that means :

起 - outro: Wonder (rapline) / intro: Euphoria (vocalist) 承 - outro: Her (rapline) / intro: Serendipity (vocalist=Jimin) 轉 - outro: Tear (rapline) / intro: Singularity (vocalist) 結 - outro: Answer (rapline) / intro: Epiphany (vocalist)

(the intro titles are taken from the words they flashed on the screen at the MMAs as they were paired w the words we fit into the WHAT acronym.. they were shown in this order too..)

Jin narrated the Highlight Reels and he continues to narrate during the MMA performance which translates to:

“Loving someone is loving the world But we wear masks from the fear The fear that is not being loved by who we are Fake love is bound to end in parting

In the end, what we need to face Is the courage to let go of ourselves And become one who will truly love

Loving the world from loving ourselves

Love myself” cr. ktaebwi

The story of Love Yourself is the journey of fighting within ourselves to find our true worth without wearing a mask that we think will be accepted by people around us. It is about loving ourselves, loving others, and letting other love us for who we really are.

guys the different countdowns that we had were all planned. they’re “glitches” that are mentioned in the trailer and served as a part of the theme.
