I know Tony ain’t doing all this best friends/hob stuff as SOON as danhausen gets hurt and is out of the picture😐

#Tony why do you do me this way #listen I just want danhausen in the house of black #as a treat #it’s probably cause I’ve already fantasy booked a danhausen heel turn in my head #but still #would’ve loved this 2 months ago right after danhausen’s evilhausen turn but alright #best friends #orange cassidy #danhausen #aew #all elite wrestling #trent barreta #chuckie t

[worstloki]

following the theory that loki intentionally banded the avengers together so he could sicc them on thanos later, after he took the throne in T:TDW, i think he'd be so angry at the events of civil war like:

loki as odin: hello heimdall, how do earth's mightiest heroes fare as of late?

heimdall: they have disagreed on many subjects and split up two days ago

loki:

heimdall:

loki: they haVE WHAT?

cue loki coming down to earth and bonking everyone's heads together until they all get along again

stark: how the heck are you alive???

loki: skills. listen here, i did not pour my blood, sweat and tears to form this team for you idiots to throw all my hard work out the window!

loki, grabbing rhodes and stark by the wrists: now, we are going to get your little friends out of prison, understood?

like an exasperated kindergarten teacher, y'know?

Loki, hitting Steve over the head with a newspaper: he's your friend, of course he's upset you lied to him about something like this

Tony: hah!

Loki, giving Tony a death glare: did you have to fight each other about it

#Loki should lecture them on morals good sportsmanship lying loyalty and self sabotage #Loki @ Scott like 'and what are you here for??' #and Scott is like awh he doesn't know me. uncool. #Loki: I just don't see why you're risking your right to see your daughter over some skirmish you have no business with #Scott: uhm #Loki: do you WANT to update your criminal record bc there are better ways to do it. #Scott: -__- #Loki: ways that don't involve parasocial relationships and blind loyalty to some national icon you had never ?? met in person before???? #Scott: I just wanted to be included #Loki: eat the rich when it doesn't involve damage to public resources next time #Bucky: hi #Loki: i have no notes #Peter: 0-0 #Loki turning back to Tony: and the CHILD--

Throwback to when Sean, Cote, and Michael tried to solve the mystery of how to take a serious photo…

#ncis #Michael Weatherly #Cote de Pablo #sean murray #Tony DiNozzo #Ziva David #timothy mcgee #photoshoot outtake #rare photo #Photoshoot #don’t repost as your own that’s why there’s watermarks like this #you know who you are #the same group of people who attack my friends and I on all social media platforms and then get angry when we stand up for ourselves #Y’all seriously need to calm down with that because jealousy is not a good reason to make fake accounts to talk sh!t about us #because all y’all had to do was be nice to begin with #Same with the pics y’all are upset about #asking goes a long way and not a single one of y’all asked for pics #and I was going to upload all of them in UHQ and give them away but then you attacked me for even having them #the point was to share them with everyone and you guys just came at me and my friends because I shared ONE while waiting them to upload #shows how toxic you guys make the fandom #but you say we’re the mean ones for not just giving you whatever you want whenever you want it? #make that make sense #but anyway I love these three #I mean really #just look at them #tiva #mote de weatherly

I watched Avengers: Age of Ultron (apart from I skipped some overly long action sequences) and I am not sure so can someone tell me whether or not Tony Stark was the baddy in that film? Because about halfway through I was sure he was but then it was maybe just an evil robot after all and I am confused because either this film was surprisingly subversive or it was about robots hitting each other.

#I CANT STAND THE CONFUSION IN MY MIND #also i get why people wrote wanda/sylvie. they should go on a wholesome chick-flick revenge-quest together. and also they should kiss. #also i am now only *half* joking about thor being in love with mjolnir #it kept doing Christianity Bits which was quite awks. #not sure why it used the bit about building the church on a rock for some metal i mean wasn't jesus making a pun there? about peter? #i think Vision might be Jesus? or else he's Dr Manhattan who's done a first year philosophy course. could go either way on that tbh. #BUT TONY WAS THE BADDY RIGHT? WAS HE? WAS TONY THE BADDY OR NOT???? #with the homocidal glitches in what he thinks is his winning personality? #and all the weapons he's made and is in fact still making but now he only sells them to The Good Guys? #except look how easily they fall out with each other and also don't a lot of innocent bystanders die in their overly long action scenes? #also i need to write fic about whether mjolnir does in fact obey some unknown code that can be cracked if you set your mind to it #she does like Robot Jesus so apparently we can rely on her to make the major decisions from now on #the ending's a bit ominous - apparently someone's collecting those TVA paperweights to do... something? Oh no! :O #yeah i watched the MCU in the wrong order shut up this was inevitable and Marvisney should just embrace that at this point #(i know 'Marvisney' will never catch on but that will not stop me using it) #the loki series ending is but the latest installment of “unlimited power with no oversight is fine as long as the Good people have it” #UNLESS TONY WAS ACTUALLY THE BADDY. WHICH AS I MENTIONED I AM NOT AT ALL CLEAR ON. #maybe what i mean is was tony stark the baddy *on purpose*? #i only picked this one to watch next because tumblr gifsets told me thor wears a nice coat in it #which he does! but only for a small fraction of the film :( #journey into the mcu #the avengers (the marvel ones not the other ones)

as i watched the righteous gemstones i read the reddit episode reaction posts to each episode, and i saw someone with the take that kelvin and keefe should, in fact, be revealed NOT to be gay because it's too obvious and it would be funnier if they were straight all this time

and like ........... it's very obviously that they're gay and in love but they won't admit it because their whole lives are the evangelical church, right???? like, i wasn’t aware there were even multiple ways to interpret what was going on. and i still don’t think so!

#giving me gob bluth/tony wonder terrible take flashbacks there *shudder* #oh reddit. why do i read you. #to have something to read about all my programs; that's why #dollsome's deep thoughts #the righteous gemstones #but that just struck me as such a bad faith reading #and made me really aware that slowburn queer ships are still such a challenge because non-fandom audiences seem to really trip over themselv #es trying to find a way to make it not romantic #to which i say #blerggggggggg!

I just thought about how fucking funny it is that Bald Bull gets stalked by the paparazzi 24/7 even while he's training and bathing and shit and he kinda just screams and starts swinging on bitches instead of actually injuring them AND YET THIS MF DECIDED IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO THROW A FUCKING DUMBBELL INTO THE CROWD WHEN NOBODY WAS EVEN DOING ANYTHING TO HIM? LIKE WHERE WAS THAT ENERGY WHEN HOES WERE PHOTOGRAPHING YOU BLOWING UP THE BELL TIRE BATHROOM?💀😭

#punch out #punch out wii #bald bull #I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE THOUGHT PROCESS WHY WOULD YOU JUST RANDOMLY BE THROWING HEAVY OBJECTS AT MFS THAT CAME OUT TO SUPPORT YOU AND NOT #THE GODDAMN PAPARAZZI?😭 #speaking of which JUSTICE FOR THE REF HE GOES THROUGH WAY TOO MUCH SHIT HE WASN'T EVEN DOING ANYTHING AND THEN BULL'S BIG HEAD ASS JUST #RANDOMLY DECIDED TO LAUNCH THAT BITCH 15 FEET LIKE?💀😭 #prayers for the ref we love you Tony 🙏 #me and buggy have been calling the ref Tony for so long that I forgot it wasn't canon 😭 #shitpost #belle tire #custard hut

i think one of the reasons why i'm so touched by jess is that, while it's easy to read her as naive about how homophobic the world is, her open queerness and butchness is clearly a conscious choice.

sure, according to kelly's backstory, they grew up relatively (for the time period) privileged wrt their queerness, and there's her obvious bewildered distress at the fact that, when she arrives in the US, people actually get to force her to act like something she's not

but she's also clearly not stupid! she clearly knows how unsafe it is to be obviously queer. when they buy boxers, they know to hold on to the excuse that they are for their brothers. she doesn't out carson and greta to anyone, not even to lupe, who's also queer, with whom she's clearly very close, and with whom she clearly spends a lot of time talking about being queer and other queer women - she understands and respects the reasons behind their choice to keep it all absolutely secret. when jo is arrested and traded out, jess (and lupe) look upset in a way that very clearly reads as "this could have been us, if we'd been there is would have been us (bc they, like jo, don't have the femme plausible deniability and would easily be picked out of the crowd by the cops), maybe it should have been been us because without us jo wouldn't have known about the bar". she knows, intimately, which risks she faces.

and yet they present the way they do. maybe it is bc she grew up in moose jaw, canada, but more than any of the others she has internalised that it's not right that the world is like this. that doesn't mean they pretend the world isn't like it is, but they do act on the fact that they think it shouldn't be. she has a modicum of self-preservation, so she takes basic safety precautions, but she clearly very strongly feels that if the world has a problem with her, that's their problem to change, not hers. that solidness of belief informs so much about jess as a character, and it means so much to me. it's not naivety, it's on purpose.

#jess mccready #aloto #aloto spoilers #i grew up genuinely relatively privileged in all the ways i was weird #incl my queernes #my family was about as supportive as anyone with a cishet family can hope for #they legitimately had no problem with the fact that i was weird and different in many ways #but they did have the mrs toni attitude - it's not a problem that you're like this but why don't you protect yourself by toning it down! #both my sister and father often asked me 'aren't you /aware/ of what people think about you?' #and they still think i'm not - that i'm just naive and can't see it #But i do! i can! it's just not /my problem/ it's theirs! #i hear the insults i hear the gossip i see the glares i hear the mocking laughs #i have since i was eight #i am not actually unobservant or naive or lying to myself! it's not about that! #it takes too much effort to change it or tone it down and i don't see why it should be on me! #it's not right that it should be on me! it should be on the world! #sure it would be hard to change myself and that's part of it but i also just legitimately deeply believe i shouldn't /have to/! #and sure i get to /act/ on that belief bc i am privileged in many ways and got to get used to that and the risk is smaller than for most #but those things do go hand in hand a bit i think #and seeing that in jess was - it got me somewhere very fundamental #not to be a broken record but - it's got smth of the autism spectrum queer experiences

I’m so obsessed with the Mario family and while I’m a very hard Uncle Tony stan I’m also insanely obsessed with Auntie Marie and her daughter. I want to know all about them.

#Mario Movie #I know I know she's called Mario and Luigi's 'Neice' but come on #This is a family of 9 we have two different full group scenes with them #there's no way there's a 10th family member we haven't seen who's this kid's parents #And she looks a LOT like Marie brown eyes and lighter reddish hair than everyone else's dark brown #She's their cousin but she's like 11 years younger than them so she's more like a niece do you understand #I've been calling her Louisianna in reference to their Super Show cousin Marianna #Because we already have too many Ma names in this family lets get another Lou #I would also be down for calling her Marilyn sense that's their Niece from the super Show #Whatever whatever I just adore them both to no end you don't understand #I'm also mental about the flower on the back of her hat is it a Daisy reference? Why?? #It's 4am I'm trying not to go too insane about this whole thing #I ALSO love Uncle Arthur btw don't get me wrong he's INCREDIBLE #I love the stupid lean he does at the beginning of the scene I want him to fall out of his chair #I love that he and Tony play off each other SO hard they're SO mean #idk how people thought Arthur and Pa Mario were twins when Tony and Arthur are Right There being clearly stupid close knit #This entire family is so funny never change and also tell me everything about you #Give me the Super Show reboot Nintendo I am BEGGING

[s0fter-sin]

i hate the commercialisation of the avengers inside the mcu both bc i find it cringy and meta but also bc it narratively doesn’t make sense.

we spent ten years establishing that the avengers are a contentious presence, civil war was literally about people not trusting them bc of what/who they are and now it’s almost completely erased and everyone loves them now? and don’t even get me started on rogers the musical

the way clint reacts makes it seem like the writers are trying to say it’s in poor taste but it’s less bc it trivialises a literal alien invasion but bc clint misses natasha and it hurts him to see an interpretation of her. not bc people are singing and dancing about an event that got hundreds if not thousands of people killed. the closest american equivalent i can think of is 9/11. people can’t even joke about it without being torn apart and it happened over 20 years ago. the battle of new york happened 10 years ago in the current mcu, the snap happened maybe a year ago, you’re telling me everyone’s chill with a musical about one of the worst days of their lives?

“i can do this all day” being their tagline encapsulates everything i dislike about it. the only people steve said that to were nazis that were immediately killed, tony who would never talk about what happened in siberia and the 2012 version of steve says it to him. no one else would know that phrase and acting like it’s something he crowed from the rooftops is at best a plot hole and at worse, an indictment of how little care the writers are having for the new era of the mcu

#other than the odd thanos was right graffiti the public loves the avengers now #and that spits in the face of over 10 years of established development and world building #even scott writing a book and becoming a celebrity doesnt make sense with his character considering all he wanted was to be a good father #now he wants to be famous and get attention? #to the point of disregarding his daughter? the entire point of his character? #and tony and hulk and presumably the rest of them getting ice cream named after them after civil war? everyone hated you three minutes ago #i already hated professor hulk for killing the hulk then acting like they didnt but him signing things and dabbing during the blip? #why was he being treated like a celebrity? #he and the avengers failed and half the universe died as a result why would people like him after that? #the avengers bringing everyone back shouldve created an ‘it was the least you could do considering you failed the first time’ energy #it should be grudging gratitude not this worship thats happening #which makes the flag smashers even weaker when theyre the only ones not sucking up the avengers ass #of course they hate the new world order theyre villains not getting what they want duh #instead of it being a valid expression #everyone in the world is way too happy and chill with everything when Half Of Everything Was Dead a year ago #it just doesnt follow the careful realistic world building set up over the entire mcu #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #marvelous #talk meta to me #marvel #the avengers #the snap #meta #captain america #rogers the musical #endgame #mcu #phase 4 #phase four

headcanons i have about Craig the scientist :)

as are most of the characters i have headcanons for, Craig is on the autism spectrum. he has a flat effect to his voice and facial expressions, doesn't really get most social cues, doesn't know how to react to others in pain the "right" way, misunderstands metaphors and speaks in quite a direct manner because it makes the most sense to his brain. he's quite a literal thinker. he also tends to hyperfixate so hard on a task that he forgets his basic needs and hygene, and thus has quite an unkempt look underneath that hazmat suit of his (which i will get into later!). Barry often ends up needing to get Craig something to eat because of how long he hyperfixates on something.

Craig sometimes doesn't exactly pay attention to his tone of voice, so sometimes he can say something that, to him, sounds completely normal, but because of his tone, can end up sounding really ominous to other people by accident ("We know who you are, Barry.")

Craig has traumatic cataract in his left eye (or wherever the fuck craig's visor crack is supposed to be in canon lol) from the explosion in 'Level 2' and is half blind in that eye. his eye has a very clouded look as a result of the injury. he's also got a huge scar there too that required some pretty gnarly stitches later, and his skin is almost completely numb around that area.

Craig also never really had the best eyesight before the injury, so he's always wearing these big ol' nerdy glasses underneath his helmet. and yes, they are tacked together with a band-aid lol

Craig is one of the few scientists who is not a clone of Peter Simpkins, the late friend of both Professor Brains and (in my headcanon'd canon) Craig. i like to think that Craig and Simpkins knew each other when they were first recruited by Legitimate Research and was pretty close to both him and Brains, and since Simpkins died, Brains has kind of taken more of a liking towards Craig (mostly out of loneliness and needing someone to help around at the lab, but he has a genuine fondness for him under his demanding and angry exterior).

There's a bit of a fan theory that Craig is the same guy as the scientist in the 'Robot Bird' rock opera, which i like to believe is the case. i mean, he's got the same monotone voice as Craig, it's gotta be him. i hope this does end up becoming canon because i think it'd make for an interesting conflict between Barry and Craig!!

Craig may or may not be related to Lab Lady.

Craig's counterpart in the mirror universe is named Kayla.

Craig is demiromantic and is questioning his sexuality (he thinks he might be bi or pan), though he definitely knows he loves Barry <3

Craig has an unhealthy habit of wiping his embarrassing memories, like, a lot. he wipes memories of awkward accidents in the lab, particularly painful failures, and most importantly, the memories of losing literally all his stuff and his career to Barry, which is why he doesn't immediately recognise him in the shorts. Craig has a lot of trouble recounting stories from the past because of this memory-wiping and felt a sense of emptiness, which getting hit in the head certainly didn't help with, so he tried inventing that apple in the Multiverse Madness event to get some of them back. it was pure dumb luck that Barry didn't end up witnessing what happened to Craig in the 'Robot Bird' opera and both are completely unaware of the disastrous can of worms that could have opened. bro's gonna end up like wallflower blush if he doesn't keep that memory erasing under control

and finally...

under his helmet, Craig has messy dirty-blonde hair, a rounded face that has a few stray facial hairs he forgot to shave, a long scar down the left side of his face, hazel coloured eyes and pale skin. this design is inspired by the designs made by @dexterno-artz and @schnabel53 respectively :D

this is a sketch of my finalised(ish) craig design!!! i've shown earlier versions of this guy in a couple of older posts but i haven't really revised his design much until now. i kinda had the idea of him looking like a stereotypical nerd and then made him messier. i might tone the amount of hair he has down a tiny bit but also i really like the nerdy bird's nest thing he has goin on :) i like to think he literally hasn't brushed his hair in several weeks and it's just become a bird's nest from nights of staying up doing science stuff

how i feel about barry tbh. he's literally so dumb i love him

(also apologies for the photos being kinda blurry and me forgetting to turn off the filter. again. in my defence it looks really nice and orange on my phone)

sometimes i like drawing him saying stuff from the shorts to get a feel of how he'd look when talking and make sure he looks juuuust nerdy enough for me to go "yep that's craig". also his big,g, handns,s,

drew this as a quick side profile sketch to get a general idea of how i want to draw him from this angle. he's talking to barry offscreen and falling in love with him <3

stupid little comic with a stupid little interaction that would definitely happen between these stupid little guys <3 barry being a little asshole every now and then is very entertaining to me. i need to see him antagonising craig and starting an old couple bickering argument with craig, that would heal me i think

i think i'll post more of this design in the future, i really quite like it a lot :)

#jetpack joyride #craig jetpack joyride 2 #jetpack joyride 2 #headcanon design #yeag sorry the photos are so fucked looking #my room does not have good lighting.... like..... at all #my sketchbook is also literally falling to pieces lmao #i'm gonna get a new one soon but damn. my poor sketchbook #i didnt even do anything to it....... why must it fall apart and die on me.......... #anyway YEAH craig design!!!! #i quite like this design a lot #i feel like there's something that could be added to it but i don't wanna make his design more complicated than it already is #that first drawing of him kinda looks like his eye is bleeding lol #it's just a really big scar dw #craig having traumatic cataract was inspired by my dog getting traumatic glaucoma in his eye #also i think craig would go hard as like. a character who's similar to wallflower blush #except instead of everyone forgetting her but her remembering them #it's craig forgetting everything that happened to him and then finding a way to restore the memories and then he gets SO PISSED at barry #they'll sure need a lot of couple's counselling after that blunder #i kinda wanna make designs for steve and toni #especially steve!!! #how do you think they'd identify steve from the other scientists. would barry just stick a big piece of paper with an S on it to his face #answering my own question: yes he would absolutely do that #steve is the one i feel like both barry and craig tease the most #i find steve literally being so nervous about being perceived that he runs away and damages property to be extremely relatable #also fun fact: craig's hair and eye colours are kinda based off the colour i see the word craig in??? #ok this is gonna be tricky to explain but i think i might have grapheme colour synesthesia #it's basically a condition where you can see or VERY heavily associate colours to a specific number or letter #and for some reason my brain has christened 'craig' as being a very specific sort of yellowy green! it's what i see in my head when i think #-of the word 'craig' so i decided to make him kinda blonde and have hazel eyes (which is basically a mix of green and yellow)!! neato!!

I can't believe marvel's civil war seriously tried to tell it's audience that a team of (mostly) Americans with superpowers should be able to act like an international military police force with zero legal oversight because 'Gubmint Bad' and I guess 12 people having no legal oversight to their actions as an international force is fine?? That has got to be some of the most fucked up copaganda I've ever watched, and frankly I was shocked at how many people I spoke to fully bought into it too.

Like really, you actually think a small group of people almost entirely from one country should be able to act as an international military intervention team with zero legal obligations? If you think about that for more than 5 seconds it should be obvious as to why that's a bad idea and why America specifically would think that's a good idea.

#winters ramblings #this movies thesis is literally so fucked up??? it straight up says cops shouldnt have oversight #and yall believed it hook line and sinker because you Really Like the guy dressed as an American flag #the other Real Fucked Up thing goes to tony starks line about privatizing world peace #i CANNOT think of a more fucked up thibg then that W H Y #besus that the movie had to work SO FUCKING HARD to make the accords sound like a bad idea #and when you need to write the accords SO BAD that they all go to jail with no trials as if ANY world leader #let alone MOST OF THE WORLD'S COUNTRIES would ever agree to that then you KNOW youre playing stupid #if your shit has to be THAT bad to seem like oversight isnt good then youre purposefully manipulating shit #in a way thats not useful and says nothing politically except that youre uninterested in nuance or accountability #but marvel is copaganda so of course it has to say Cops Are The Best They Dont Need Limits- see look the government is WORSE #because the Whole World just wants to yeam up on america for no reason whatsoever they dont have a history of invading #literally ANYONE they hate to fuck their ekections and install rught wing terriristsas leaders bc better than communists!! #no no thats not why anyone with a brain would support the accords lets make it SO DELIBERATELY BAD no one would support it #but we wint even MENTION any of that in the movie no no we dont need to do that in the movie all about #this fucking piece if legislation why would we do good proper storytelling with ACTUAL reaaons for why the accords suck #reminds me of the joker movie with how much had to be pulled to make the avengers sypmathetic there #if you have to pull your narrative that hard then your story fucking sucks and so do your politics

I can't believe you think they're treating Choni badly this season or that they have bad storylines and especially that they painted Toni as a villain in 708 when she was simply finally granted some perspective and they tackled an issue with their own writing that always plagued Choni back in the high school days, to show how much they've matured. Their content this season is nothing short of excellent.

Okay this is the second time I'm typing this because Tumblr glitched and wouldn't post the first one. I probably typed too much but I really wanted to give you a solid answer. I will try to keep this more succint but I have a lot of thoughts on this so hopefully it posts this time.

I apparently also deleted my first paragraph so I've typed this section out three times now. I do not think they are treating Choni bad this season. My issue is and will continue to be the setting for this season. After two seasons of them not being together they've now thrown them into a situation in which they "can't" be together and that irks me. I thought when we got confirmation that they were soulmates, that maybe just maybe they'd let them be fully happy in the final season. And that is the full crux of the issue, it's the LAST season. I discuss Riverdale a lot more on my main page (which I encourage you to check out because I do speak about this a lot more in the tags of a lot of my Riverdale reblogs) but i actually just made a post stating that I think this may be Riverdale's best season. They opened this season with one of the strongest episodes I've seen in television thus far. Especially coming from a CW show. I do think this season is also shaping up to be Choni's second best season. They've had a lot of solid scenes and Vanessa and Madelaine are giving it their ALL. That being said, forgive me for hoping the last season would be spent wrapping up happy endings mixed with the usual Riverdale drama. I did not go into this season expecting SO MUCH new plot. And if it wasn't the last season, I wouldn't complain as much. That's always been my biggest gripe, it's the last season. That's all. If this was season 5 or 6 and I knew we had 7 seasons, then I would have nothing to say. Because yes, it's given us some really good content. I just don't want it for the finale. They could've tackled homophobia back when Kevin came out to his dad or when Cheryl came out to Toni. I don't want to see my favorite character forced back into the closet because they decided to set us in one of the worst eras in American history.

Now for my villain comment. I stand by that. I do think that scene framed Toni in a really bad light and here's why: Everything she said was valid and yes, it's an issue I've been wanting them to tackle for YEARS. What she said is not what made her the villain. It was the way they framed the scene that I knew would be misconstrued by the people that watch this show and always have a bone to pick about whatever she says or does. Up until that scene, we were led to believe that Toni's biggest issue with Choni is that she lost herself. But all they show that as, is she's given up writing for cheer. Okay fine, drop cheer and go back to writing. Cheryl wants to see her gf but she's not gonna stop her from doing what she loves. However, Toni breaking up with her felt out of left field to me because she's allowed to be her own person AND still date Cheryl. So I figured maybe they were setting it up for the fact that she doesn't like commitment and the other greaser got in her head about Cheryl being a rich girl too scared to come out of the closet. Also a valid reason. But that's not the scene they gave us. What they gave us was Cheryl asking if the issue was because she was white and Toni saying yes. Nothing up until that point had given us any indication THAT was the issue. What frustrated me even further was that they don't even give them room to have a discussion about it. Toni says her peace and leaves and all we get is a shot of Cheryl crying. She clearly cares about Cheryl enough to have pursued her for that long and then she drops her without even having a discussion?? And so soon after they got together? If we had gotten a scene where the difference of their skin was brought up before that (and that could've have been anything from an offhanded comment to Cheryl laughing about something someone says in their presence she didn't know was meant to be a dig) and we see that register with Toni, it wouldn't have felt off balance. Especially since her and Betty get along and she's white. Her and KEVIN get along and he's white. Kevin and Clay are dating and there seems to be no problem THERE. So they can be okay but she can't date Cheryl because of it? It just felt like after they gave us such a strong opening ep regarding race, to then have her drop that with no nuance didn't sit right with me. All of the digs against Toni that we had seen had been because she was bi or at least "queer adjacent" as far as Evelyn was concerned. The only time we see anyone being racist, is when she's dealing with the adults, never the teens. And I knew someone was gonna watch that and say "oh of course the black girl has an issue with her white gf blah blah blah". That's why I said they set her up to be the villain. Not that she was one. Purely based on how that scene was framed. It just felt like it was missing context. And who knows, maybe they filmed a scene and then cut it but either way, it felt off to me and having it not get brought up again until the Black Athena ep just left me feeling unmoored.
