rewatching steven universe is insane because you can see just how HORRIFIED the gems are in this scene like.. the realization that they held onto the mirror for SO many years without knowing that a living gem is trapped inside…god
Look, we can make fun of Jimmy all we want but the fact that he genuinely wants what's best for Kara does highlight how much he loves for her. He wants to be with her but he also know Kara never had true freedom. Jimmy want her to experience life instead of settling for him.
i genuinely believe that Blue Lock was created for the sole purpose of propaganda for japanese youth to become invested in football and at some point in a future world cup we will see them reap the benefits
That’s a funny way to put it, but in-universe it’s more symbolic than literal.
Sokka and Suki don’t actually avoid kissing at night because Princess Yue is “watching.” Yue becomes the Moon Spirit, so she’s more of a spiritual presence than a conscious observer.
The moon symbolism is there to remind us of:
Sokka’s grief and loyalty to Yue
the emotional weight of moving on
and how the Moon Spirit is tied to waterbending and balance
So when Sokka eventually moves forward with Suki, it’s not him “waiting for permission from the moon,” it’s more about him finally finding peace with Yue’s sacrifice and being able to love again.
Still… the idea of Yue just casually side-eyeing from space is peak Avatar comedy
Makima has a power that literally encourages her to manipulate people, has everything to gain from manipulating Denji and still can’t control a teenage boy
Cartman got scammed one time and made a kid eat his parents, setting up the whole scenario in less than a day
Honestly, it’s one of the better pieces of evidence that the friendship wasn’t completely fake or toxic.
When Azula orders the triple throne in Ba Sing Se, she’s not gaining anything strategically. It’s a small moment that suggests she genuinely expected Mai and Ty Lee to sit beside her and share in the victory.
The problem is that Azula’s idea of friendship is warped by how she was raised. She clearly cares about them in her own way, but she also uses intimidation, manipulation, and control because that’s what she learned from Ozai.
So the friendship wasn’t:
Purely a lie
Purely healthy
It was a genuine friendship filtered through someone who had never been taught how healthy relationships work.
That’s what makes Mai and Ty Lee’s betrayal hurt Azula so much. If she didn’t care about them at all, their choice wouldn’t have shattered her worldview.
The triple throne scene is one of those subtle moments that reminds us Azula wasn’t incapable of affection, she was just terrible at expressing it.
Hackers are utterly incapable of hacking shit that would actually benefit people. Want them to hack the FAFSA to get rid of student loans?? Sorry their too busy hacking cartoon studios and threatening to release something people were already planning on watching
