In honor of HOA season 1 being on Netflix, I would like to say that no matter how many egyptian gods were manifested in this show, the most unhinged plotline in the entire series will always be the Mick and Ms. Robinson arc, mainly because how out of pocket it was for Mara, but also the way it shifted the entire frame of reference in the show so weirdly. Like leading up to the arc, Patricia's relationship with Jason and then Rufus could be written off as weird, but it's a kids shows so obviously it's innocent. They didn't need to address the uncomfy vibes. We know there are topics that just won't be addressed in kids TV, so the usual implications of these situations don't need to be explored.
But then to have Mara, Mick, Ms. Robinson, and Mr. Sweet all look at pictures of Mick and Ms. Robinson and be like "yeah that looks inappropriate" means the characters are aware that harmful relationships between adults and teens happen. It like breaks the illusion of kids TV now that those implications are being addressed in the show, and now the viewer has to think about them. It reshapes the frame of reference for the entire show, but then they don't apply it to any other character. Like why did they do that? Where was that energy for Patricia and Jason?? When they find out Rufus is texting Patricia???? And the immediately after that arc Patricia is kidnapped?????? Like all of that would be fine if they had never made a big deal about Mick and Ms. Robinson. They changed the whole vibes of the show for the B story.
Why was I texting this terrible guy in my dream about how my new WIP (nonexistent) was about a girl who thought her soulmate was mothman because people kept seeing sightings outside her home or something, but it actually turned out she was a were-mothbeing, and it was like the real mothman was in our hearts all along but not in the way we expected. I remember vividly seeing cover art for it too, in that cool white and black silhouette on red background style, feel like if it was real it’d be called something like The Moths in Our Stars or something I don’t f-ing know. Mothman was pitching this to me psychically in my sleep.
I forgot about Spain while playing geoguessr yesterday. I said out loud the direct quote "that looks like Spanish architecture in those windows." And i forgot about Spain. I'd say I'm in Spain without the s but I'd probably guess colombia before i guessed pain
