Tubbo describing his reactions and Krow, who has worked in a psych ward and works in healthcare now, going “that’s a panic attack” and tubbo being like “erm idk” is what it’s like to be a Tubbo viewer all the time

[catteries]

I think it'd be remiss if I do not highlight the fact that, being both an ACD canon and Granada adaptation enjoyer, and also a member of one of the British Empire's ex-colonies, that I'd like to be in a comfortable enough headspace to share a perspective on this text site on how a Straits Settlement person views the works.

There's enough references to the Crown Colonies to make it interesting for me, so I just need to sit down and type it out, I guess? Just off the top of my head:

- The Penang lawyer cane reference

- The Haj pilgrims boat that departed from Singapore (presumably from Kampong Bugis)

- Lascars and Malays being explicitly referenced as part of certain subset and communities

- References to opium, which the Straits Settlements were one of the largest port of call for the Empire's supply

- Anything Sumatra region, given proximity

There's also a lot to be said about Granada's The Last Vampyre episode, which is such a profound piece of work about the othering of 'different' people by society, as well as the criticism and calling out of the quintissential brand of British racism that remained in ex-Straits Settlements' mentality today and how the general British public still practices it, that more expert people that is Not Me should talk about it.

But then again, how many would be able to reflect on this from a Malay peninsular residents' perspective?

Tubbo really does just start going like he’s giving a presentation when he tries to reassure the eggs. It’s not your fault and it will never be your fault and here is a list of the reason’s why, and actually if you were there it may have been worse so I’m so glad you didn’t have to experience that.

i love arfid its like what if you needed to do one specific thing to survive but every time u do it its about as easy and pleasant as pulling teeth .

[sparring-spirals]

I love it when the Bell's Hells are kicking ass, but I also really, really love it when things start looking sketchy, when we start seeing the flinch reflexes and old wounds aching, and the way they scatter- or gather- in the dust.

[scarletslippers]

Love is a choice. And action. We choose people over and over again.

And this show has always been about love. Choosing the right thing. Choosing your friends. Choosing your family. Choosing your soulmates. (If you’re lucky, you get four)

Choosing who you love.
