It's a little thing, but I love how Jonathan takes a moment... fully prepares for Nancy to break up with him after everything that's happened (that he blames himself for)... and then attempts to tackle their conflict head on. He truly believes that he's starting the conversation that is going to end them and is relieved/shocked that there's still hope.
hey u seem like you'd appreciate this. have a bit from a fic i Will Literally Never Post;
"Regardless of all that, Qinghua thinks it’s completely reasonable and rational, that when he was miserably shuffling across the floor, and his silks felt oddly sticky, he did not think, “Wow, I sure am about to touch copper; a well known conductive metal used in most modern appliances, and a common use for door handles due to their well known self disinfecting properties, while my hair is somewhat frizzy for an unknown reason and the natural fibres of my clothes are staying close to my skin despite not being wet nor me being sweaty, I sure am reminded of the common modern issue of static right now.”
Which is why he cannot be blamed for what happens when he makes contact with said door handle."
Anon I'm absolutely on the floor with how perfect and on point this is to how I view Shang Qinghua but also I'm CRYING THAT HE WENT THROUGH ALL THE STEPS IN HIS HEAD AND THINKS NOTHING OF IT AND GOES FOR IT
He's so real, he's so me, "Clearly there's nothing wrong here whatsoever even tho every single thing is pointing to an issue"
Also anon THANK YOU FOR SENDING ME THIS I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH IM SO GLAD I GET TO READ THIS I LOVE THE WRITING STYLE 💞
Jonathan is adamant that if he told Nancy the truth (that he doesn't want to go to Emerson with her), she would drop her dreams to come be with him in California.
A canon-parallel trans AU of chapters 53-55 of Carry On, wherein the revelation that Baz is wearing jeans is replaced by the (slightly lengthier) revelation that Simon knows less about Baz's home-life than he thought he did.
baz is a trans man, simon is very confused but he's got the spirit.
Rewatching 2x01 and i just wanna know what went through the writers heads when they thought 'hey lets introduce this pretty man to the team with 'what a man' playing in the background with the persoective being from buck' there is no heterosexual explaination for that
Don't forget Eddie is in slow motion and the whole episode is about making Buck like Eddie. No heterosexual explanation for Eddie's introduction AT ALL. Also nothing can prepare you for it lol
Seriously, if buddie not planned then what even was that *motions widely around*
I love the build up as the focus is spinning around El then cuts for a second to Max opening her eyes and Lucas calling her name.
Not to mention it being mixed with the ST theme.
It's definitely much more intense than the usual Stranger Things but I like it here. Like I couldn't imagine something like this happening in season 1 or 2. And I didn't like it in season 3, but I like it here.
Especially the turn around El. That very much gives me feels. I figure we'll be seeing more of that next season. Maybe not to boppin' music but still.
5. Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech! Will they give one, and what about?
This is the exact nonsense the Navy pulled on Ockham back on the surface. Ockham will not give a speech in English. Ockham probably wouldn't do it in Flemish either, because what's heshethey supposed to say? If you tried to put himherthem on the spot at, say, a wedding, you'd probably end up with a sentence and a half and vague disappointment. It's possible to get Ockham to talk about things that heshethey're interested in (food and minor craft/engineering projects seem to be lucrative topics), but in a conversation, as opposed to a speech.
7. Describe them in three words. Now let them describe themself in three words.
