and while we're complaining i would have liked for El to have had a moment of self determination where she definitively chooses her own name.
whether that be by choosing to go by El, the nickname given to her by the first person to actually treat her like a human being and is then used by the rest of her found/chosen family,
or by choosing to go by Jane, her actual given name, and the last connection she has to a mother she will never know. reclaiming what was stolen from her as an infant.
or even choosing her own name. a new name. something she came up with on her own, with no outside influence. something that leaves everything else behind and says "this is who i choose to be."
but god forbid we give her any actual agency i guess. jesus fucking christ.
vader handled obi wan disappearing upon death really well considering it was the first time that ever happened . he didn’t let out a girlish shriek or anything

the fact that there was no kind of acceptance arc for steve is so funny to me. he said "me and nancy are friends" and it was not mentioned again. are you saying his behaviour since the beginning of the season is explained by simply wanting to impress jonathan 😭😭
and that followed by their flirty little talk in dimensionx ???? steve wrapping his arm around jonathan in the epilogue ???? saying "you can come live with me" ?????? the writers really said #StonathanEndgame without being aware of it
post s3 erica is worried about her friends steve and robin because they're both really skittish and weird and they keep jumping and flinching at everything and she's like what's wrong with them... and dustin's like well they did get a little tortured i guess :/ and erica's like (eleven years old) but that was three whole weeks ago 🤨 and dustin's like ever heard of trauma 🙄 and erica's like shut up dipshit i have to go i have plans. and then she goes and hangs out with her little posse and feels very odd and out of place and she's noticing all of these little things she hasn't before and she's like what's that. and her little friend is like what? oh my bracelet? it's a medical alert it's because i'm allergic to penicillin. so if i'm like dying in public doctors know i can't have penicillin. and erica's like oh. hm. and her other friend is like oh that's like my cousin's dog he has to wear a vest in public that says NERVOUS on it so people don't come up to him and scare him.
and while her friends start arguing about comparing each other to nervous dogs erica is thinking very hard about her dear pals who are kinda losers but they stayed behind to let her escape the russians... and she's like hm they're like that nervous dog.... i should do something to help them. because they are such weak little losers obviously.
next day erica walkies steve and is like bring robin to my house NOW. they arrive very worried and she presents them with two little beaded bracelets (way more colorful than these and with little heart and star shaped beads too).
they're like wh. and she's like they're medical alert bracelets. for your russian trauma. and she says this so sincerely and she is so eleven years old that steve and robin make eye contact and they're immediately like erica that's really thoughtful of you thank you SO much.
and then they get in steve's car and they drive like halfway down the road before steve has to park because they're both laughing so hard they're crying and robin's like i'm never taking this off ever and steve is like oh my god she put glitter beads on mine is yours glittery?? and robin's like YES AND I THINK THE HEART GLOWS IN THE DARK!! and they literally laugh so hard they almost throw up. and they never take them off ever 🩷
They didn't even kill Kali, they erased her.
She got no family. No record of her, of her name. Her friends got murdered. Her body was left to rot in another dimension built by the hand of her abusers. All of the people who could have understood her are dead.
There's nothing left of her. No one to even remember who she was. No one to pick up her fight. It's like she never was. Like what they did to her never happened.
Did any of you ever play poptropica? First game-y thing I ever got obsessed with. I loved how you could just go to whatever islands and start a storyline and leave it if you got bored. My favourites were the one where you had to time-travel to different points of history to get specific artifacts, the reality tv island, the spy game, etc,.
Like I know it still exists but peak poptropica was as good as crack...
Everyone needs three hobbies: one to give you carpel tunnel, one to leave you sore and bruised, and one for your distant relatives to insist you monetize
having percy experience seeing annabeth get hurt, seeing tyson back, seeing tyson disappear, seeing luke, having to give luke the fleece, seeing luke leave WITH annabeth, and then seeing tyson again in the span of like 5 minutes was insane this was a torture simulation designed only and only for him
