So many people are hating on Tom, but I was genuinely hoping for an episode surrounding him. They kinda made him cause trouble (unintentionally) in 2/3 episodes. But there was something there that could’ve been explored.

Him talking to Taylor and her saying that she’ll always be there for him and knowing about his sick brother. Him saying that his brother being sick is kinda making him struggle with his grades. Then saying he’ll ask Rochelle for help after he saw that Taylor and Yuwen were about to get in an argument.

Then he asked Rochelle for help tutoring (wasn’t really tutoring) but ended up getting her in trouble because he needed her help cheating.

THEN, when Vanessa found him and they were in the car, he said that he liked Vanessa and wishes she was his mom (or something along those lines)

Like what?? There was definitely a plot there that could’ve been explored (sick brother, maybe absent/emotionally unavailable mother, unable to focus on school because of his sick brother, brother bond)😭😭

Some Trans-coded moment I could find in Kai's episode because Pixar really did not let Disney stop them:

  1. When Kai sees the softball team for the first time we get a close zoomed in shot on Taylor and Yuwen. This emphasizes two things: that the team is co-ed, and that there is a black girl on the team, someone Kai can relate to and maybe look up to in that I wish I looked like you kind of way
  2. No one in Kai's family refers to to her by pronouns or descriptors like "my son" or "my daughter" until later, once she's already on the team.
  3. The close up shot of the photo of Kai with a trophy has 3 other kids in frame, all of them looking like stereotypical boys. It's hinted at that the team Kai was playing on before was not co-ed, and so this would be an all boys team. This and a photo of Kai up to bat with short hair in a blue shirt are the photos she hides.
  4. From the scene of them all cheering Kai's name at the beginning, I almost thought that was the first time it was said in the episode - it's not. The first time her dad says it in the car. Interesting!

Rest under the cut cause this is a fairly big post and also spoilers for the rest of Kai's episode!

i colored something guys cheer this doesn't happen ever also i love them so much they're so silly

So maybe Cake thought she was giving M-Cron some sort of shocking confession but… We know he saw her on Cheers, where she made an appearance in her default 'Cat-Blob' form.

M-Cron already knew Cake is stretchy and he knew what her Main Form is and he knew that she's a cat. And he was just all "hell yeah, Cake! Stand up for yourself! Wanna go on a swan boat ride with me?"

I think it's pretty clear that Cake was afraid that M-Cron wouldn't accept her if she wasn't in her 'Babe' Form and that this fear was a huge cause of her insecurities and stress and why both that form and the kiss felt 'wrong' to her.

But by all accounts, M-Cron, much like the Karmic Worm, likes her shapeshifting as a core part of her self (without reducing her into a circus novelty like the Cheers live studio audience) and would accept her in every form.

It's just that M-Cron being an Attractive Normal Human Man makes all of Cake's anxieties about her personhood and identity start to flare up, while the Karmic Worm being weird and magical does a better job of making her feel like it's okay for her to be weird and magical. I think you can very clearly see it how in just trying to talk to M-Cron makes Cake kinda regress in her self-acceptance compared to how she is with Karmic Worm.

And not because M-Cron has indicated to Cake that he has any problem with her being herself as much as it is… the whole world he lives in is one that makes it hard for Cake to accept herself.

But… it is possible that with Cake now spending her time both in Fionnaworld and in the Undergrowth, and having the support of the Karmic Worm, that this will change one day (maybe even... transform?). Because, yeah, I am still holding out hopes for a Worm/Cake/M-Cron OT3. As the Karmic Worm himself said…

Cake the Cat has Two a Potentially Infinite Number of Hands!!

Its Fionna and her self destructive tendencies against the world at this point.

This was the moment the entire season was building up to—that girlfailure finally crashed out.

TIP:

This holiday season, if you know someone who likes house plants,

DON'T

get them a houseplant. DO NOT.

instead, get them a NICE, MEDIUM-LARGE, AESTHETIC, BOTTOM-DRAINING, INDOOR

POT.

that is what they want. that is what they dream of. ok? thats what will be most useful and appreciated. in fact, if you can, get them a CUTE MATCHING SET. OF POTS!!!! NOT PLANTS, POTS!!!!!!!!

they may be more excited initially about the plant. that is true. but a pot is a gift that they will go home and use to upsize one of their already beloved houseplants, and every time they look at it they will remember how much they appreciate you.

HOUSEPLANT:

- they already have so many

- needs to be watered

- takes up window space

- comes in a pot thats already too small, needs to be upsized, costing money

- can die

AESTHETIC POT

- lets them care for an existing plant they own

- they will be grateful every time they see it in their home

- does not take up window space not already occupied by a plant

- can be wrapped without dying or spilling dirt everywhere

I HAVE NEVER HIT REBLOG SO FAST

Pro Tip: look at the sizes they currently have, and get ones just slightly larger. Repotting time WOO!

to everyone who got talked over, sighed at, or gently bulldozed by incompetence this week:
