All I have wanted for this entire show has been for Zouey and Teena to have a happy ending and for First and Soong to have a kinky happy ending and for most of the rest of the characters to just have An Ending with Captain and Porsche preferably miserable but I am starting to fear that the real ending is somehow going to have everyone happy except Teena and Zouey because Den has some Serious Issues about virginity.
(I'm also very sad that that the only mutually kinky couple had the Dom declare himself a monster and the sub repeatedly let him go too far without ever calling it or telling him that he just doesn't want to do it and the other 'kinky' couple was only that way because of abuse and blackmail which is also Den having Serious Issues with kink... the other story of the this show aka you can only have your happy ending when you're done with kink, casual sex and virginity. Sigh.)

Watching the Disney movie that had a lot of influence on my preferences once I got older. A movie that is now a big time favorite of my youngest daughter.

having kara zor-el thoughts today about her getting out of her ship, and she does not yet know what she is doing so years after she was supposed to. she is trying to focus not on what she's lost, but what she still has, and her first thought is "kal can't sleep without a lullaby, i need to find him and sing him to sleep, he must be so scared and alone" because she is scared, she is alone, she wants nothing more than for someone to sing her to sleep, but it will never happen again, and if she amounts to anything now that the future she was supposed to have is gone, she will do it for her little cousin, who will never even know krypton if not for her
but her cousin is not the little baby she used to babysit, he is a grown adult, older than kara is, and she wonders how the people who took care of him got him to sleep without knowing the kryptonian lullabies he was used to (how will she sleep now?), how quickly kal adapted to the lullabies of earth instead (did he forget the sound of his home entirely?), or who she would have to sing to sleep now that kal-el doesn't need her (who can she ever share with? will she forget, too?)

nearly done with my op reread and for the longest time my theory was that the d marked the descendants of the people native of the island that eight hundred years ago fought the twenty nations, but rereading the part about lili I thought maybe it's more lax and it marks everyone who opposed the current government in general, not just those from the island - she was the queen of one of the twenty kingdoms after all, and imu didn't seem to know the nefertaris had a d in the name as well, but before the war there would have been no reason to hide it? so i think it's something they added to their names later, maybe to recognise each other as allies? or something? the kozuki were obviously allied too and don't have a d though, so I can't say this theory makes a hundred percent sense. also i find interesting how law is hiding the water part of his name too together with the d, i wonder if that has any further meaning? another interesting thing is that there seems to have been some form of prophecy or prediction about what's currently happening in the manga, since oden knew he had to wait twenty years and the sea monsters in the oden flashback on fishmen island were talking about it too... maybe a prediction about a war? since oden wanted to unleash pluton. I wonder what exactly they found out on laugh tale that made them all laugh when the events the wg is keeping secret seem to be this tragic... also, i think i never even noticed during my first readthrough of egghead but there's someone offshore with blackbeard's flag? a small boat, it seems, but I think atm we know all blackbeard pirates are either on the pirate island or fighting against the hearts (;;;) so I wonder who exactly that is? also, I didn't catch this either first time around but I feel like the germa might just be heading there as well right now lmao the thing with kuma returning to mariejois happening so soon after vp talked about the ancient robot attacking mariejois and no one knowing why is also suspicious to me, I wonder if vegpunk used data from that robot to turn kuma into a cyborg and that's tied to why he returned there for apparently no reason...?? anyway I thought rereading would help me clear up some questions but instead it left me with even more kkkk should have figured

it's like. you're just a teenager. and you accidentally end up physically and mentally bonded with a freaky alien robot thing. it might be slightly evil. and it is IN your HEAD. and you have a family and school and friends and everything but now you also have powers and a fancy superhero suit and stuff, which is cool. but the price of that is having a murderous bug alien in your head trying to influence you, which is kind of terrifying. and you don't really know any of the other new generation of heroes very well and they either don't know or just don't GET that you have a FREAKY BUG IN YOUR HEAD TRYING TO MAKE YOU KILL PEOPLE. which is a thing you're capable of now, because — powers. superhero armor, et cetera. and nobody gets it. AND THEN. and then a new kid comes from the literal future, FOR YOU. and he knows, because he's from the terrifying future where the murder bug wins out and you turn bad. he's there to make sure that doesn't happen, which should sound threatening but somehow DOESN'T because right now all it means is an offer of friendship. and suddenly you're so much less isolated, because here's one person who knows and understands what you're going through — because he's seen what it could lead to — and also sees that you're scared about it. and he doesn't judge you for any of it, he just gets it. and he's there for you. you, just a random kid who's stumbled into the middle of all this completely on accident, like you're the most important person in the world. because right now, to the boy from the apocalypse future, you ARE. and even though he comes from a world that you've had a hand in destroying, even though you're terrified of yourself, he's not scared of you. he sees you, even though he knows what you're capable of better than you do yourself. and that, more than any aliens or schemes or technology or parasitic symbiosis, ends up being the most important thing in the world.

Gay sex jokes can be funny, tasteful and valid rep. But when it's all a show really delivers, there's definitely teasing of the only potential mlm couple (that nobody forced them to put in there; people shipping something they know is just a fun dynamic that won't go anywhere isn't that) and then going all "oh, but it's deeper than sexual™" and "I don't know if we're teasing it" is definitely... queerbait adjacent.
There are homophobes who are super comfortable watching this show to this day. They have an homophobic explanation for every single joke or hint we've enjoyed. It doesn't make it an homophobic show, of fucking course not, but it hasn't alienated the homophobic audience as much as you think. It probably will happen in season 4, but not yet.
Baiting the only mlm relationship when the only rep as for today are casual jokes is queerbait-adjacent. Going on unrelated weirdly sexual tangents when asked genuine questions about something even the press has read as text should leave a taste in your mouth, especially when compared to stuff that's been said before season 3 was a thing (and I'm willing to bet they're barely aware asexuality/demisexuality is a thing, if they've heard of it at all, so don't come for me). This doesn't feel like a "wait and see" type of answer, but ok, let's wait and see.
And if by the end of the show nandermo goes fully unaddressed (NOT CANON; the bar is as low as ADDRESSING it, I'll be ok with however it goes from there), I'm sorry, but I won't be as uwu about it as you are being.
I'm glad you feel seen and validated and like you're getting the rep you want, but when you consider how little risks the network is truly taking by doing stuff this way and how they'll definitely keep doing it in the future if they can get away with it... I mean, it's kind of insulting? I wouldn't give it a pass. I think it 100% would set a very unfortunate precedent.
(I know people are going to say "oh, but there's a lesbian couple in this other show, they're super ok with that". Cool. I promise you a board of guys with ties sat around a table to study every possible ramification of putting those lesbians in that drama or whatever. But you know what I want? More sitcoms with wild concepts and queer relationships. More sitcoms with queer relationships in general. If they can get away with baiting the only gay ship and still get praised for queer rep for jokes about how horny everybody is, expect most shows to handle it exactly like that. One is ok, sure, but there will be more and it'll get boring very quickly.)
I can't believe I have to say this, but don't fucking harrass the creators. Express your negativity about a product you consumed in general terms like a normal person and act in consequence.
Anyway, I love this show and where it's heading, not so much how it's being handled in the month and year of our lord June, 2022. Hope to come back and cringe at this someday lmao
