It's actually really frightening to see officially sanctioned genocide denial rise up in Western countries in real time. Like, I remember 20 years ago hearing about how it was illegal in Turkey to point out that the Armenian Genocide happened, and how I thought that that was fucking evil and oppressive. Now here we are, with a campaign in Gaza that experts have called 'a textbook case of genocide', for which the UN Human Rights counsel has determined there are "reasonable grounds" to call it genocide, and the US Congress is trying to make it illegal to criticize Israel. We have Hollywood agencies refusing to represent anyone who points out that a genocide is currently taking place. And it's just the same shit from a fresh asshole as we got from the Turkish government over what happened in Armenia in the 1920s, like "Oh yes, there were killings, but...calling it genocide? Ohhhh, you must be very hateful to our poor little nation to think that our people are capable of that 😢 😭!" Fuck off.

Throwback to watching H2O in Romanian on YouTube and instead of putting the actual title of the episode "Dangerous Waters", they put "Rikki does fish trafficking".

so much of h2o is just hanging out. hanging out at emma's place, hanging out at the marine park, hanging out at the juicenet, at the mall or the movies or the moon pool. and that's what being a teenage mermaid is all about

I’m not sure what ya’ll consider to be PEAK friendship but this is it, enough with Hollywood trying to show friends only hanging out in each others’ bedrooms and living rooms and crap, hanging out on each others’ stair landings was a sign of TRUE friendship, corporate fools

Even better about this whole scene, they are all so close to each other and there isn’t a hint of discomfort, Emma and Lewis’ legs are touching and they’re thinking nothing of it because they are just buddies and Cleo folding her legs so that there’s more space for Lewis’ and Emma’s legs and just Rikki propping her feet up on the stair in front of her is just so in character, and then just imagine Cleo’s parents trying to walk past them all and stepping over sprawled out limbs and them being so fine with it because, “hey, it’s just teenager things”, dude, I just love the humanity of it and how absolutely close the original cast actually was with each other to make such scenes seem natural
