On the other hand, if Roach was Irish he and Soap can do the handshake meme of colonized national going "just when you thought you hit rock bottom you want to fuck a blond English guy" and Ghost didn't even plan for this it Just Happened.
IVE HAD THIS QUESTION FOR A WHILE NOW, AND IVE GOTTEN THE CONFIDENCE TO ASK
What do you think Ghost and Soaps baby will sound like when it starts talking, because Soap is Scottish, has an accent, and Ghost is British, ALSO HAS AN ACCENT, so what do you think the CHILDS accent will be like?
ooooh I love this question... Hmm SO I think honestly it'll be a mix in a way?? Some phrases or words will be said with more of a Scottish accent etc. I think their kids' accents will be influenced by their environment too obvs so I feel like it'll be more heavy on the English side of things with a lot of Scottish influence?
What’s the vibe on Rick being raised Christian and having some sort of trauma with it?
Obviously him being an aggressive atheist is a big thing but then we also see things like him desperately praying in the S2 premiere when he thinks he’s going to die because his collar won’t work/he gave his collar to Morty which is… not a response you would expect from someone who is so insistent he doesn’t believe in god and has no prior relationship with religion. Not to mention moments like in Anatomy Park when he tells the family that ‘Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, was born today’ (which is obviously played for laughs but still).
Also people picked up on the fact that Morty claims he was raised ‘non-denominational Christian’ in Rick: A Mort Well Lived, which seems to be at odds with what we see with the family currently - neither Beth nor Jerry seem overly religious. However, if Rick had a Christian upbringing of his own, this could have been passed on to Beth in some form or another.
I also wonder if Rick did genuinely continue to believe in god/Christianity to some extent until he lost Beth and Diane - since this was an event that caused a lot of change to his character and worldview, it would also make sense that this could shift his religious viewpoints from Christian (whether 100% or just to a smaller extent) to atheist, since he couldn’t believe in a loving god who would allow this to happen. Additionally, Rick being ‘the smartest man in the universe’ is often related to or even used interchangeably with his status as god-like, and this was the first time he saw true evidence of this power from another Rick, which would also challenge any beliefs he may have had in god.
I think it’s also worth pointing out Toxic Rick’s line in Rest and Ricklaxation: ‘You think anyone but me could do it in a million years? You think if god was real he could do it? The answer is no, if god exists it’s fucking me!’ This is a part of himself that ‘regular’ Rick considers toxic, which we can interpret both as (the more obvious and canon-accurate) Rick disliking his own ego and god-complex as well as these concepts and actions in other Ricks, and also as him viewing these ‘blasphemous’ ideas as toxic.
I’m sure other people have pointed all of these things out before and better than me, but I just find it interesting.
I don't think she had bad hair in s1 or s2, but I'm excited that they're actually giving the Black girls Black hairstyles instead of having them wear it out.
Before, it felt like the (all-white, for context) hair department was just ignorant about Black hair, so they put wigs on the Black actresses and only did styles that also work on nonblack hair for their own sake/convenience. This theory was especially supported by the fact that Tara, whose 4c hair couldn't really be styled the same as nonblack hair, wore a twistout that would take literal hours to do every day, but she had box braids in s2! and Elle has box braids now!! I'm so excited!!!
I also feel like this fits her bold, fashion-loving personality so much better than leaving her hair out. Our hair is basically its own accessory, and the long box braids are very feminine. Again, I'm not saying not having a protective style isn't feminine or fashionable (I myself am a fashion girlie with an Afro), but having one is another outlet for her creativity, and I'm glad they're recognizing that now.
Yeah, it’s a commentary youtube video, but makes surprisingly good points about influencers with kids in their audience taking money to promote the British Army, and calling out the hypocrisy of someone wearing a Free Palestine hoody and then doing this a few weeks later.
Also sneaks in some nice stuff about just how much aid the British Military is giving to the Israeli Army right now.
As it feels relevant, here’s also your reminder that the UK Military is the only European Military which recruits child soldiers (children can serve from 16, but start the recruitment process from 15 1/2). Even the UN has suggested that the UK should raise their recruitment age to 18. https://home.crin.org/readlistenwatch/stories/uncrc-uk-military-age
