I will never be over Leo’s 4D chess play in “Many Unhappy Returns”. Like, just in general it is a spectacle to see this character who we’ve seen goofing around time and time again, who’s only sometimes decided to take things seriously, only to show him making a maneuver like that.
And here’s what gets me the most about his plan against Big Mama: he comes up with it on the spot. The second he sees that Big Mama has the solution they need, he’s already in game mode.
It is so satisfying watching the episode back when you realize his plan, because he literally sets the stage entirely for a decisive victory. He sees that the champion is a kraken, and comes up with both the solution to defeating it and a reasonable excuse to get that solution into the battle with them on the fly:
“Like your champ aaand those six guys. In fact, we don’t want this over too quickly. You should armor up those rookies. The whole shebang. Especially with these pointy helmets.”
And this is why giving him teleportation powers is perfect, too. He analyzes the battlefield and makes use of all the assets, moving pieces around to guarantee a win. It is honestly so impressive to witness and one of my favorite parts of his character.

The spider verse is literally just a drama family??
Miguel is the tired dad that is so done with life but still loves his (many) kids.
Jessica is the aunt who can be strict but everyone wants to hang out with her.
Peter B is the funcle that’s a horrible influence but still manages to teach several life lessons.
Noir is the distant relative that is only ever met during family reunions but still loves everyone and manages to send money each birthday.
Peni is the younger sister who looks adorable but could kill someone and nobody would know.
Gwen is the older sister who’s sort of scary but also really talented and fun.
Then there’s Miles… he’s the middle child.

I don't think I'll ever run out of Nimona headcanons
So I feel like it’s kind of obvious that both Ambrosius and Bal had to play the part of the perfect obedient little soldier as they were growing up
And I feel like they both had different ways of dealing with those expectations
There are still moments when they have to hold their tongues and put on a smile
And Nimona has witnessed most of those moments
One day she asked them both “How do y’all not bite someone’s head off or like burn a small village to the ground?”
And they decided to show her
Bal very politely asked her to fly them to the top of the institute
And he was like okay weird but I’m not gonna question it
His resolve is really tested when he hears Ambrosius ask if the surveillance cameras are turned off
And when Bal gets the slightest hint of a yes does he scream absolute bloody murder
Sometimes it’s small phrases sometimes it's words but most of the time it’s just screaming
But he doesn’t stop until he’s blue in the face and his voice is almost gone
When he’s done Ambrosius ushers them all home
Nimona doesn’t start asking him questions until Bal is relaxing in the room with a big cup of tea
And all Ambrosius says is “Eh it helps him so I don’t question it”
And then he asks them to fly him to his families property
And he doesn’t tell them to stop until they get to this tiny dilapidated shack
Nimona voices that they’re surprised his family would let such an eyesore exist
To which Ambrosius makes an off comment while looking for something about it being too far out for them to notice
And she was about to ask what he was looking for and until he pulls out a bat
And a couple of his failed ceramic projects
Before he could ask when they got here
Ambrosius was hitting it against one of the walls and then wordlessly offered the bat to Nimona
They didn’t go home until every plate vase and cup was absolutely obliterated
When they did get home they found Bal sitting in the living room
All Nimona said was “Your man has anger issues and I like it!”
To which Bal responds with an expression that says “You think I didn’t know?”
While the trio loves watching movies together they can’t finish a single show
Nimona never waits for the boys and always goes ahead
And half the time when they watch it again all together she spoils it for the boys
Bal often gets too caught up in the show and starts questioning everything
And if Ambrosius doesn’t like the show he’ll stop paying attention and then ask a million questions
All in all they drive each other crazy and decided just to watch the show separately and talk about it when they’re done
For some reason this doesn’t qualify for trashy reality tv
No one gets bored and there are too many twists and turns for anyone to think about talking over the show

Hi friends, just a quick message about the Seb in The Apprentice situation. I've (understandably) been getting quite a few messages about it, most of them wondering why on earth Seb had to take this role, and also expressing concerns and hurt about the whole thing. I absolutely hear all of you, and really feel for those of you who are worried and upset. I am too, to some extent, but I know it's far worse for some of you who have been directly affected by this despicable man's actions and influence. I'm so sorry this is bringing back awful memories and emotions, and that it's tainting what should be your safe space and/or escape. That genuinely sucks, to put it mildly 😔
While I always try to make sure that this blog remains a positive and safe space as much as possible, this is something that I couldn't help but express my own concerns about as well. However, I have done that now, and I feel like for the moment, that's all the attention I want to devote to it. The more we talk about it, the more negativity it seems to garner, and that's doesn't feel beneficial to anything. So for the moment, I won't be replying to any more asks about this situation, at least not until we have more substantial information about the direction this movie is taking and what its goal is. I hope that's okay. Thank you for understanding, and I'm sending lots of love and hugs to everyone who needs it ❤️
