established in-universe logic of the show allows for izzy didn't die truthing and here's why. he got shot on his left side. "science tells us that all the useful organs are on the right part of the body." so you take a sword on the left, no harm no foul. bullet wounds are different to sword wounds? izzy already survived a bullet to the leg, the rotting of said leg, and a grim field amputation. ed described him as an "indestructible little fucker." immediately following this ed survived being beaten to death with a CANNONBALL but izzy gets taken down by one measly bullet? sorry djenks you're gonna have to try harder if you want me to believe he's dead for realsies <3
I think a deeply under appreciated part of the gem shows impulse the vine clip is the messages in chat a few minutes later that very strongly imply pearl, who is gem’s age, ALSO did not know of the vine in question
I've decided the only reason Lloyd, known descendant of dragons, didn't tell this to Egalt, who refuses to train non-dragons, is for the same reason he never mentioned he's the First Spinjitsu Master's grandson. It just never came up. Nobody asked him directly about it. And besides, he's only like, one-fourth dragon, so does it really count? He doesn't look like a dragon, and he has never in his life considered himself a dragon. Mentioning his ancestry to Egalt probably would've just made him look like some hotshot, or make him more annoyed. There's no need to bring up such a silly little fact. He's sure it won't be important later.
I caught up on this weekend's @re-dracula this morning and one thing I found hilarious is that while Seward is all angry scribbles, Mina was like "ah how wonderful that Mr Morris got me this traveler's typewriter. Writing by hand would be so tiresome"
The owl house crew really went "this boy will keep his menacing cool first impression for one episode"
First entrance: Shoots out of water in a giant kickass fist after Eda says Luz could have gotten killed
Quotes: "That can still be arranged" while mask is literally steaming
Then the rest are:
Casually whistles the freaking show's theme on an errand run
Gets his ass rocketed away like team rocket
Accidentally falls off a rock ledge directly in front of the people he was spying on
Gets recognized by his annoying voice and then runs away only to get clowned on
Gets his sock stolen by some beast after failing to socialize with people his age then tries to run away from a 14 year old girl (I mean that's fair though in this context)
Gets his ass dragged down to the ground anyway and is literally bound up in vines terrified of middle schoolers (ok mostly the first one tho)
Walks out of the shadows intimidatingly (in his mind) in the most ugliest raggedy-assed lookin outfit ever and accidentally reveals his trash-pile home
Tries to look cool like the friends coming along was their idea but gets called the fuck out

Movie!Gabriel, realistically, is having the time of his life while facing official consequences for his villainy. (Well, assuming he is at least, since time constraints made the overall outcome of his first story arc INCREDIBLY unclear. But they did reveal his identity, so I’d be surprised if they manage to retcon his freedom)
This is the same man that released a bunch of bad guys just to do his evil plans because— I don’t know— he felt like it? He’s more than capable of akumatising normal people— doing so once or twice in the movie, and leaving evidence of more mundane akumas like The Bubbler in montages.
Within those circles, he’ll probably be like royalty
Plus, another flashback showed him frequenting that area anyways, so he’s already got street cred going for him. I’m bored of the hopeless Gabriel Agreste trope, give me an Agreste that is winning from the get go
“Yes, Adrien, my life is actually going great, these people keep giving me free tradable currency, and I’ve been invited on another escape plan, it’s the 15th this week and they never work; but it’s quite fun seeing them fail. How is Nathalie doing? I heard there was a new holder? Perchance, do they have feathers? Asking for a friend?”
