Jason smiled at his family; it was Valentine's Day, and he got a gift from his girlfriend.
Dick:" And what did you get?"
Jason:" Look here!!" And shows a raw cocoa fruit. "She gave me that!"
Dick:" Okay..."
Jason just opened the fruit to eat it. And he seems to think there is nothing wrong with it.

Jazz was just happy that her boyfriend liked the fruit. Maybe Cassie and Danny were right. The fruit is what you give people; like her mom and dad did it always.
Anyone else come to some wildly different conclusion on Ghibli movies with age?
Kiki's Delivery Service:
Kid: Being a witch is so cool!
Adult: Growing up and growing apart from the life you had before is a natural progression of life. You aren't losing the old parts of yourself, just finding new pieces that were there all along. Life is about changing, you'll never stay stagnant.
Ponyo:
Kid: She's such a cute fish, you should always follow your dreams!
Adult: Leaving home will not take you away from your family. Even when you're miles away and you feel like you're in different worlds your family will still be there, encouraging you. Parents are meant to let go of their kids at some point.
Howl's Moving Castle:
Kid: Sophie's a big sister like me! I want to a princess in a magic castle.
Adult (I've also read the book): Sometimes you don't find your place in this world, you make one. The people that come along with you will see you through every ugly part of yourself and you would do the same for them. Chase after that shooting star.
Spirited Away:
Kid: What just happened...
Adult: SHIT HAPPENS! And it sucks, life sucks but you keep going. You can cry along the way. You are being so fucking brave for even going on this hellish journey we call life. It's okay. You're okay.
People often talk about how sweet it is that Shane is so soothing to Ryan’s insecurities and anxieties, and although I agree, I think we should also talk about the fact that it is so extremely mutual.
Shane doesn’t get nervous or insecure often, but every time he does, Ryan immediately comforts him or cheers him on and I think it is the sweetest thing ever. Their friendship gives me life in ways I can’t explain 🙏
The Young Justice team huddled together, brainstorming the only strategy they could conceive to defeat the summoned being. The Heir of Pariah, who defeated that plant ghost once!
Cassie exclaimed, "Wait, you're summoning the Heir of Pariah?!"
Zatanna responded nonchalantly, "Yeah, what's wrong with that?"
Cassie grinned. "Wait, I need to prepare myself!"
Without hesitation, Cassie sprinted as fast as she could, well-prepared for this awaited moment! This time, she will seduce him! She played this game so many times already, and this time it will be greek.
Upon her return, Zatanna had completed the ritual, and before them stood a young boy named Danny Phantom.
As Danny saw Cassie, in her wedding dress, blushed in various shades, transitioning from red to green, ultimately settling into a brown hue. (When you mix both, it's brown.).
Cassie, with a mischievous smile, asked, "Are you here to Persephone me, or should I Hades you?"
In a shy tone, Danny stammered, "Y- yeah... you did summon me." He couldn't look away from her wedding dress; he had no idea why she had one! But it looked beautiful on her.
Cassie replied, "Oh, then I'll Hades you. I know a great wedding hall for us to tie the knot."
Zatanna:" You seem to have forgotten the problem!"
Danny looked out: "Ah Undergrowth, you need an ice user, and you should win. Fire works too. Just kill the plants around him I do the rest."
And as Danny helped them defeat Undergrowth, the first thing Cassie did was fly with Danny to the wedding hall. She will get her wedding now!
“my first girlfriend turned into the moon” “that’s rough buddy” is adorable not only because zuko positioning himself as sokka’s friend is simply wishful thinking and desperate projection on his part, but because sokka referring to yue as his girlfriend is also just. incredibly lovely. like, back when they were together in the northern water tribe, yue was trying not to explode from overwhelming lust and affection, but meanwhile sokka was like. “we’re literally just friends. this dynamic is nothing more than an innocuous, platonic friendship. the fact that we’ve kissed and clearly want each other and have spent the past month solely in each other’s company talking little strolls around the city and romantic bison rides on appa (and who knows what else) means nothing as long as you just. repress all the emotions and desires and every last shred of humanity you’ve ever had and convince yourself that this is a reasonable way to live a life.” even while yue was adamant that living in utter denial was intolerable, actually, sokka was just like “i don’t get what the big deal is. repression is so easy.” but then yue changed everything by giving up her mortal life to become a spirit, and in the process transcending the human, patriarchal paradigms that prevented their love from being realized. like, if anything, yue wasn’t sokka’s girlfriend, he was her mistress. but then again, yue never wanted hahn; she wanted sokka, and they both knew it. so by shedding those limitations as she sheds her corporality, she is also giving sokka (as well as herself, of course) the permission for them to redefine their relationship on their own terms, beyond simply being forced to succumb to the patriarchal stipulations that dictated the terms of their love. and who knows whether sokka ever admitted it before, to himself or otherwise, but here, in this moment, he can reevaluate what they shared, and instinctively, he knows. she was his first girlfriend. his first love.
sometimes I think I don't have many thoughts or feelings about Ema, but then I think about her returning from Europe after her studies, failing to get the job she's dedicated her life to since she was a teenager, finding out that the man who saved both her and her sister got disbarred for submitting false evidence, being assigned to the prosecutor who got him disbarred, and running to find him only to be greeted by this slippery, silent stranger who won't talk about what he did or what really happened, and who's behaving just like her sister did for years, and I think about how powerless she is to help him because he won't let her, because he won't trust her, just as Lana hadn't for so much of her life, and how he should know better than to do that to her, but he doesn't or maybe he just doesn't care, and I think about Ema who came back full of hope and conviction only for that all to turn to dust in her hands in a matter of days, and I realise I do think about her a lot actually.
