Rewatched TLOU and I Can’t. Stop. Thinking. About. The. Vaccine.
A couple months ago I got into such a rabbit hole about this damn vaccine I did a project on it as a final for one of my courses. I scoured through scientific papers and articles.
A VACCINE IS NOT POSSIBLE.
Even in 2023, there are no fungal vaccines approved for human use.
Joel was right for saving Ellie and I will always be a Joel apologist

I'm really enjoying Cooking Crush (regardless of the version I'm watching) because Ten and Prem's attraction to each other has been clear since the first episode, but also because I'm greatly enjoying Fire's mom.
This woman is critical, demanding, and rude just like my Mexican mother.
So I loved that Metha lied to her to get her out of the way like any good friend would.
And I love that Dy did the same.
He is young and immature, which made him the perfect boy to commit to the bit.
Cause with moms like that, you can't be disrespectful,
and you have to put her kid in the best light.
"Fire is no troublesome boy. He was just helping out his friend like the good boy his mother taught him to be."
Masochist. Manipulate. Malewife.
Let him know you can handle his mother.
Because you don't mind being yelled at.
In fact, you like it.
That's the way to his heart.

Dynamite is the youngest of the group having skipped some grades, and he is impulsive, optimistic to a fault, and so direct that he comes across as tactless, but . . .
Fire(fly) avoids discomfort and conflict.
Except when it comes to Dy.
Fire's mother is a lot, so instead of confronting her, he schemes his way into getting what he wants with the help and encouragement of his father.
He pined after Jane from a distance until Dy got her number for him.
Jane broke up with him, and he smiled and said "sure."
He's questioning his sexuality, so Metha takes him to the red-light district.
Fire doesn't move outside of his comfort zone unless someone else is there to push him, yet each and every time he encounters Dy, he immediately yells and argues because Fire is fine with pretending to be happy and skirting around the truth to appease everyone else except with Dy. His life is already planned out, so to have Dy be so direct, so impulsive, and so aware of who he is (gay) is upsetting, and unlike everyone else Fire interacts with, he must let Dy know how he feels.
Ironically, unlike Fire, Dy doesn't scheme to get what he wants. He isn't stalking Fire. He isn't strategically planning to break up Jane and Fire. He simply stumbles upon Fire and impulsively acts on his like.
But this isn't just Dy in love; this is him all the time. Like My Dear Gangster Oppa's Phai and Muffin, Samsee constantly has to tell Dy to tame his wild nature due to his unacceptable and off-putting behavior because instead of needing encouragement like Fire, he needs to be dissuaded.
While Fire lies and conforms, Dy is outspoken and disruptive.
Where Fire lacks confidence, Dy is cocky.
Fire needs Dy to force him to be honest and push him to step out of line, and Dy needs Fire to humble him and teach him how to respect boundaries.
They need each other.
It's about balance.
