Got full access to my bff's Netflix account finally and I started watching Code Lyoko and its kinda baffling to me how the theme song and the iconic reused shots and little sound effects activated neurons in my brain that have been dormant for almost 2 decades. It's like the same effect that the ps2 start up sound has on me. And the theme song is so good that the nostalgia hit is actually making me emotional.

#ya know. it was a teeny tiny part of my childhood that im kinda surprised actually. i do remember bits of the first episode and one #plot point in a later seasons. but otherwise nothing else. i think i barely even watched the show despite how much i loved it #but starting it again since i was like. idk??? eight maybe??? seven??? is hitting me with so many emotions #the scenes where they travel on the skateboards and swing on the ropes and get in the machine #when aelita floats up in the towers #every time the theme plays #fuck man. this show was so good. it really did leave a dormant impression on me huh??#and in true 'grew up to have a funky gender and returning to an old piece of media i once liked' fashion. odd is so gender #hes canonically catboy coded. he has a purple highlight in his hair. his fucking outfit!!! hello!!! nonbinary catboy odd!!!!#hes so gender. hes so catboy gender. his gender is just catboy. the boy in there being gender neutral of course.#(tho i do have to say i never realized the show was SO desperate to try to show girls naked. that was a shock.)#personal
