this is literally so half assed but i opened up pintrest looking for cat memes and this was the first thing i saw when i opened it up and the voices possessed me and now we’re here (version without the writing under the cut) we’re all gonna ignore that clearly drawing people head on is not my strong suit okay? okay
Just from observation, putting glados in any kind of poll is like. Okay so she's going to win. We know she's the robot god queen of tumblr at this point. Feel free to keep putting her in tourneys that she's going to win.
In terms of Wenclair nicknames, I believe in ‘Enid using Willa’ supremacy and φεγγάρι μου (‘my moon’ in Greek) is especially beloved to me, but I also love little shit Enid who calls Wednesday any day of the week EXCEPT Wednesday (“Hey, Monday!” “What do you think about this Sabbath?” “Oh thank god you’re here Friday”) and it annoys her favorite murder goth to NO END but slowly said murder goth becomes endeared by her roomate’s antics as feelings start to tumble and bloom away. Besides ‘my moon’, I can also see her calling Wednesday ‘silly raven’ in Greek.
Meanwhile, Wednesday has this wholeass evolution from shit like “mutt” to way softer nicknames because Gomezifcation™️ is a powerful thing. She starts to pine and internally call Enid her Alectrona (a greek goddness of the Sun, known for sunrise or ‘waking from slumber’, a perfect combo of how Enid brings light to Wednesday as well as her inner wolf finally waking up), but slowly she starts using it out loud along with “mi sol” (‘my sun’, Spanish), “mon petit chiot” (‘my little pup’, French), and “la mia vita” (‘my life’, Italian). Enid melts everytime without fail and stutters in Greek and honestly? Who could blame her when Wednesday has that passionately lovestruck shine in her eyes as adoration drips from devout lips.
WoF isn’t perfect and I know I’ll sometimes post about flaws or ramble about how I’d rewrite things(which isn’t as meanspirited as it’s just I love this stuff but imagine all this Potential stuff), but then. Warriors. Will put out something rancid and I am reminded that WoF is pretty nice actually
Annoying fandom people when you tell them characters do things based on writers’ decisions and biases and are not fully autonomous sapient beings they’re watching in a terrarium
i don't know anything at all about that cat warrior thing but every time i see a picture of a cat i feel inclined to vote love because look at that little kitty!!! i love them!!! i ultimately vote don't know because i'm honest!!! but i'm always shocked when there's more hate than love for cute cats
Same. Like I understand that bongwater or whoever cheated on his wife and did kitten genocide and canonically went to cat hell but counterpoint. He’s got a fuzzy little face
Honestly I tire of how often discussion about Cordelia is framed as a narrative of victimization. Charisma was treated horribly by Joss Whedon and this absolutely affected Cordelia’s arc in some ways, and Cordelia’s narrative treatment has a place in discussions of patterns of misogyny in the Buffyverse. But ‘victim of Joss Whedon’ is too often where the conversation stops. Cordelia was part of the Buffyverse for 6 years before Season 4 and she has an excellent send-off episode after it. There are a myriad of ways to analyze her character development within the context of both BtVS and AtS. She has an incredibly rich story and develops complex relationships with multiple other characters. And ultimately she ends her arc by reclaiming her own agency and voice. You can critique the way said agency and voice was denied to her in Season 4 without pretending that’s all she is. Too often her story is framed as a tragedy, sigh, let’s all shake our heads about how she was Ruined and Assassinated, God forbid we actually talk about what her character arc was like before or after she got possessed (which is different from being Ruined or Assassinated but God forbid we acknowledge that either). I find this to be simplistic, performative, and frankly condescending. Cordelia Chase deserves better than that.
