Endangered Species Highlight: The Water Cone Wizard

(inspired by this post)

[nabi-unveiled]

I haven't talked enough about Two Husbands, One Wife. Because really, what do you say about perfection? It feels like any words I offer cannot do it justice.

I pretty much hold my breath every episode and pray to the show gods that they don't ruin the absolutely beautiful thing they've created.

And so far...as of episode 7...they haven't.

Because every episode has built on the idea that it really takes all THREE of them to make this relationship work. The framing reinforces this with frequent triangle shots (and even triangle dialogue). There must be a connection between all points, and no point is more important than the other. Every person is essential.

Because while Takuzo may be the "responsible" one, he's rigid in his ways.

And while Mia is the realist who easily speaks her mind and expresses what she wants, it can make her very focused on herself.

They already tried it with just the two of them. It didn't work.

And Mia and Shinpei have already tried it with just the two of them too. It doesn't work.

Because they struggle with managing responsibility on their own.

They are willing to do the work, but they need someone to guide them with structure and remind them the laundry exists. I feel that.

And although Shinpei is a free spirit who really brings "joy" to everything he does...

With just Mia, he still feels a bit insecure and not quite good enough.

And with a younger boyfriend that has so many fans, Mia can sometimes feels insecure too.

As the men have developed and taken their relationship further.

Takuzo is able to affirm Shinpei and give him the words he needs to hear.

And Shinpei's earnest and sweet nature is able to break through Takuzo's walls to help him see that his rigidity can have consequences.

His infectious energy pushes Takuzo to go places he wouldn't otherwise and encourages him to try new things.

But both men recognize that they NEED Mia.

She holds them together.

Because she's the one who can express words and speak her mind easily.

Who will make the first move when things get difficult.

And push them to make the necessary decisions.

Because they're a throuple. And no (good) relationship exists without all three of them.

Bonus: There's food symbolism (even more than I mention here). Be still my beating heart.

Mia is gyoza.

Takuzo is curry.

And it's best when the chef (Shinpei) serves both.

*Jason and Stephanie arguing over something, that devolved to them just calling each other names*

Jason: Gremlin.

Stephanie: Jerk.

Jason: Asshat.

Stephanie: Douche.

Jason: Bitch.

Stephanie: Bitchass.

Jason: Motherfucker.

Stephanie: Bastard.

Jason: Cunt.

Stephanie: Slut.

Jason: Gold digger

Stephanie: Fucking whore.

Jason, having fun at this point, his love language being words of aggression: I hope you know I love you so much you bitchass motherfucker.

Stephanie, also having fun at this point: Love you too you fucking piece of shit.

By killing her mum in a mercy kill, she's doing exactly what the Ghoul did to Roger. She's learnt from him. She has turned into him. When she said, "I'll never be you," maybe that's not true. And in that moment, when she shoots her mum, it means so many things. It means 'I'm coming with you.' It means. 'I f*cking hate you, but I have turned into you, you were right.' It means she's letting go of her golden centre. I want the audience at the end of the show to wonder if their hero is still a good person. I don't know who she's gonna be in season two, but this is what happens when you break the unbreakable. I don't know who she's about to become. [...] I'd be down to play it either way. - Ella Purnell (x)

Do dev and Timmy get close? Does peri get excited or scared to see his big brother again?

Kind of! At least that’s what Timmy would like to think. Personally, I don’t see Dev as the type to be very open with others (Hazel being the exception). I imagine Dev just acting like he always does, not fully understanding why Timmy wants to spend time with him. Maybe one day when Dev grows up, he’ll realize it and wish he had appreciated it more back then.

As for Peri, I think it’s a mix of both. We’ve already seen how nervous he was with his parents before being reunited with them, so I imagine it would play out in similar way with Timmy 🤔 I remember someone from the FOPANW crew mentioned something that Peri is the type who wants to stand out more than his parents. He’s probably aware that Timmy doesn’t remember him. And because of that I can see Peri trying his best to appear classy and sophisticated because he wants to leave a strong first impression on Timmy just like what he did with Dev.

(Though it probably wouldn’t take long for Peri to break down in front of him.)

Ponyboy: “I studied for my math test with Curly, but I still got a B minus.”

Soda: “tsk, so Curly got you a B minus.”

Ponyboy: “no, it wasn’t Curly’s fault. I just ended up thinkin about the questions too long, so by the time I put the answers down I went with like my fifth choice.”

Soda: “oh Pony, never settle for fifth choice! Someone better’s gonna come along. I mean - something better.”

Ponyboy: “maybe thinkin about Curly during a test was a bad idea. He’s just so cute, I get distracted.”

Soda: “……do you?”

Ponyboy: “I wish I could draw his nose.”

Soda: “maybe it’s your eyes. Maybe you need glasses. For, uh - for your grades.”

i keep seeing ppl complain about going from being fans of TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT and trying to watch TOS and how much a struggle that is for them without a connecting plot but can i bring up the opposite end. i started with TOS and i’m trying to watch TNG and girl they don’t do anything. i’m expecting a new monster of the week show but noooo instead we stay on the ship, use the holodecks like once a season, we’ve had exactly one funeral in three seasons, and aside from Q i’m not sure we’ve met a new species. i think i’ve seen phasers used once. what the fuck is this show.
