Sincerity
Jon and his scrapcore costumes. Even at this point in their 'relationship' Edward still acts as if he's Dr. Crane from Arkham Asylum

Wednesday bluntly saying "you should know I'm waiting for someone" and "I'm actually here for Tyler" to Xavier and continuing to frown unfazed as Xavier's face contorts in disapproval whenever Tyler shows up beside her, BUT pausing before saying "Xavier" when Tyler asked her who she asked to the Rave'N.

since we're all having fun talking about theories and headcanons before the game drops. one thing that i do want for missing link, that is mostly wishful thinking on my part, is a reveal for kairi being a descendant of the player
this is based on their parallels of being shooting stars later found washed up on a beach from the new missing link trailer, plus that one moment from KH1 where kairi's grandma tells her about the age of the fairytales and nothing else lmfao
and i want that so badly because. it would be so fucking ironic and poetic to have kairi be a direct descendant of the one person that raised and cared so much for xehanort. the player, whose memories of ephemer and skuld and chirithy and everyone else influenced xehanort into starting his whole ass spiral and descent into darkness
only for her (and sora) to be the ones to get xehanort to stop in the end. ending a cycle of sorts. for her to be haunted by the memory of xehanort, the same way xehanort was "haunted" by the memory of the player's past life
PLUS. i want it to SPECIFICALLY recontextualize kairi's inheritance of the keyblade from BBS. because kairi's reason to wield a keyblade being nothing more than an "accident" feels like such a disservice to her AND aqua??
if they could recontextualize xehanort into whole new depths in dark road, i dont see why they couldn't reframe that moment as kairi reclaiming a dormant power, her own heritage that her bloodline forgot for centuries, since knowledge about keyblades and wielders began to fade out over time to the point where people who KNEW about them thought they were evil. makes sense that as the age of fairytales is left FORGOTTEN, no one can remember how to summon a keyblade, let alone the knowledge to create one from someone's heart. but having a strong heart (one of the requisites for bequeathing ceremonies) and being in direct contact with a keyblade, could just. help jog the memory a bit
and show that yeah. kairi deserves to wield a keyblade because she has a strong heart, and because this was her heritage that was taken away from her when the worlds began to drift away from each other and so on. not because of an accident
everytime chance, fate and destiny are brought up in the saga to explain why something. happened the way it did. it carries so much weight and so many events that led to That Point. but kairi's inheritance as of right now was just. yeah, an accident. no ceremony at all AND I JUST THINK SHE DESERVES RLLY COOL THINGS OKAY

But also if someone really is going to decide to do absolutely nothing with their life despite being thrown a rope on multiple ocassions i would still rather they do that nothing in a clean and safe home. If someone is going to neglect their own physical and emotional wellbeing i would still rather they recieve the same standard of care as someone who doesnt.
Because i dont know if we can ~save~ everyone so to speak. As in i dont know if we can fix all those wrongs in a persons life that have lead to that point. Preventing them from happening to begin with feels less daunting than confronting the baggage thats mounted up over years. A chunk of that is at the end of the day down to them.
But i still want everyone to have a level of dignity in life yknow?

listen, i think you can interpret many things from this series that the author didn't intend but, as an afab poc, i think the reading of frostpaw's spaying as anything but the erins trying to create drama regarding fertility is kind of a reach like.... the erins do not care about poc and/or indigenous people and they have made that abundantly clear and trying to hone in on people saying "hey, give this series, who historically has profited off of and appropriated indigenous cultures is trying to talk about forced sterilization" is a naive reading at best and a generous reading all around. these white brits do no care about us please stop giving them the benefit of the doubt when they have made it abundantly clear we are a side show to them. where as with the over arching misogyny its not something they intend to write, it is just a reflection of how sexist brits see the world like for the love of god do not give them this when they time and time again have demonstrated they are just white cishet spectators
I ended up going on twitter to find the thread just to see what was being said and....yeah, I still don't really agree it's to that level, but I read through and I still hesitate to knock down concerns from readers of color, you know? I definitely agree that the authors are definitely not trying to talk about political issues (I think Berryheart and RiverClan's occupation are filling that void for what it's worth), but I can't lie and say I don't understand where dots are being connected.
Anyways, I probably won't continue to answer asks on this. I just feel waaaaayy out of my depth in this discussion, so apologies for that.

the thing is, i can't afford an adult assessment/diagnosis and there's no guarantee i would meet the requirements. but also...what accommodation could i feasibly get? i'm good at course design, at curating assignments, at one-on-one interactions with students. i'm a good writer and a good presenter. but i need at least one hour of recovery for every hour of interaction with people i don't know. i need to be allowed to not make eye contact or smile All The Time. i have a maximum of time i can be "engaged" in planned interactions and after that i need either a buffer (another person, stimulant, non-conversational activity) or the grace to not be socially performative. i need people to be honest with me. i need people to understand how *i* work and work with me, not against me. i need clearly articulated expectations. i need things in writing, because my hearing/memory sometimes glitch. on paper i'm an excellent option for a department, but in person i'm "weird" or "not engaged" or "not a good fit." there is no accommodation that doesn't involve academics questioning their racist, cissexist, classist, ableist biases, and remodeling their whole approach to the job market. which they're not gonna do! so i just have to hope that i can garner enough other things in my favor (an article published, an intervention that seems useful, glowing student evals) so that a department will overlook my "quirkiness" and give me some kind of chance.

slowly but surely progressing through the game but continuing to waffle on big choices
trying to decide if it's better to get Volo's eye myself, or give it to Astarion? like which way is more useful...
