you're so right, the one thing everyone in generation needs to do is communicate with each other 😭 but what has me on edge is what's going to happen with luz now she's, like, mad with greta bc she doesn't like her. she has the "not yet" that can potentially hurt greta and im actually wondering if she's gonna tell her or if riley will first (which i kind of doubt? since riley seems to be pushing her away from the looks of it in the sneak peek?). Idk!! what are your opinions? i like reading your posts. Thank you alsjhs

thank you for reading! I just think the character dynamics and the acting and the writing are so so good and something I've never really seen done before (also I'm so sorry this got a little bit off track by the time I'd finished writing lmaoooo)

oh I absolutely believe luz is gonna weaponise that info like there is no way they specifically wrote that asshole mini-monologue for her and had her tell riley 'not yet' to not use it when they want to cause even more problems. I think riley's gonna self destruct next episode (callback to Sam in ep 9 'you don't wanna blow yourself up in the process') out of some sort of misguided sense of self loathing - you can see in ep 13 when aquarium pablo turns up she looks so guilty and upset with herself more than anything

when stuff goes wrong for riley she always makes a joke out of it but then turns the rage inward to hurt herself - all the shit with her parents has obviously just taught her that she's the root of everyone's problems. she's so self sacrificing (when she says she's happy for greta and luz and has a photo that she LITERALLY CRIED OVER for their couple photo album??? riley pls be nice to yourself) and finds it so hard to ask for what she needs (she has to force out that she's having a shit time with her parents and needs chester to come inside with her and then we find out that her mum has totally invaded her space and done god knows what with all her belongings to have her weird play room which is funny yes but also like so deeply distressing to me)

god my heart aches for her like up until recently with the GSA kids probably no one has ever really told her that she's worthy of time and love, I don't even know how she's as functional as she is but I guess kids are resilient. I could argue that sometimes riley uses sex as a form of self harm or like a tranquilliser for all her feelings because at least when people are having sex with her she knows they actually want and desire her in some imitation of honesty. but I digress and also it's a show about teenagers so maybe it's not that serious and dark.......idk

I'm not really sure where the end of that episode is going to leave us but then episode 15 according to the plot synopsis is where greta and riley finally have their cards on the table convo about where they stand with each other. I would love the luz thing to come up so it doesn't blow up everything later, but if greta is asexual and says that to riley as one of the reasons she was/is confused about them then I think there's no way riley's going to say 'hey sorry but when you rejected me and accidentally called me a slut I went and found someone who would actually fuck me to make myself feel better and that happens to be luz lol'. it's going to be so much worse that she didn't just go off and have sex with some random guy but she had her first sexual experience with a girl that wasn't greta like they're somehow interchangeable (obviously not but that's how it would feel I think)

the last episode I'm thinking riley and greta will be maybe like circling each other with ~meaningful~ eye contact and stuff like they always do which would hopefully finally culminate in one good honest mitski kiss where they actually know how intensely they feel about each other. there's footage of marisela and chase rehearsing a scene for the finale that definitely looks confrontational and given that I'm like 75% sure that luz will either tell greta or threaten to tell greta just to be the asshole she's promised to be. I hope greta understands riley enough at that point to know it wasn't personal but it's gonna be bad and painful whenever it happens

tl;dr for this unhinged essay: I agree with you that I think riley won't do it herself, luz will either have to do it or coerce riley into doing it which will make everything a disaster and I hope that it won't ruin it forever but I am SCARED

Your fic reminded me of this fanart 🥺

absolutely fuckingn incredible 😭😭 i love bow with my whole heart

1, 6, 10, 12 and 21 for Catradora ✨

1. Who makes the other hot chocolate? Adora i think! she’s an “acts of service” kinda person so doing lil cute things like that seems up her alley

6. Who bakes cookies? i think they would try to do it together! maybe as a surprise for Bow and Glimmer and some of the others. dunno if they’d necessarily be any GOOD at it, at least their canon versions, but they would DO THEIR BEST

10. Who starts a snowball fight? either, depending on their mood/what was happening. like really, a harmless way of competing/messing with each other/”fighting”? that’s their SHIT

12. Who looks best in a jacket? my inclination is to say Catra ‘cause her snow jacket in White Out is adorable

21. Who is bad at ice skating and keeps falling on their butt? tbh probably both of them at first, since Adora is kinda clumsy outside of battle and Catra doesn’t do great with footwear. I imagine Catra gets the hang of it first since her tail would help with balance, but eventually they’d both probably get decent if they wanted to,

4, 64, 124, 144!

4. Are you easy to get along with?

i feel like i am? my friends on here can let me know in the replies asdkjg but i feel like i’m generally easy to get along with. i do just straight up tell people that i don’t like them which. maybe proves me wrong here sakdjghsa. but i tend to be very direct which i think most people appreciate

64. Tell us the story of your first kiss?

i was 13, i was in the middle school girls’ locker room which is the worst place on earth, my ex pulled me into a shower stall and kissed me. 10/10, wouldn’t kiss that particular person again but i think it’s a good story. i had also been called Several homophobic slurs in that locker room so i felt like i was proving them right in the best way possible. like. “if u keep calling me a d*** i will have no choice but to kiss a girl.” iconic of me

124. Do you believe in love at first sight?

i don’t! you can definitely click with some people faster than others but i don’t think you can be In Love without like. several months to a year Minimum of knowing someone sajkdgsa

144. Dark, milk or white chocolate?

dark chocolate all the way. milk chocolate is acceptable in some baked goods and circumstances and white chocolate is acceptable Only in peppermint bark.
