y'all are gonna hate me for this one but i think it's worth nothing that eleven levels up and develops more as a person whenever she breaks up with mike, and how the vines were tightening around her as he was giving his speech and roping them back into a romantic relationship/context (not his fault btw no mike slander here + it's complicated), but when she's reviving max the source that she pulls her power, focus, and resolve from are memories where max is reminding her to be her OWN person, that she doesn't need anyone else, and she is more than enough as she is with "not hopper. not mike. you." and "there's more to life than stupid boys."
she performs a miracle by believing in herself and the one and first ever person that ever taught her to do so. the girl who viewed her not as a superhero that happens to be a girl, but a girl that happens to be a superhero, too. the girl who encouraged her to grow and change and put herself first. that's who and what give her the courage to fight on.
like literally how much more clear do they need to make it that her romantic relationship with him is holding her back? just look at seasons three and four as well as how the flashback they used for mike's speech was of her in the woods which is undoubtedly a nod to the fact that he doesn't see her as she is now and is stuck in the past while she desperately wants to move forward.
i just. !!!!! i'm sorry but Be Serious Please we can admit this and be real about it. it's okay. it does not make either of them a terrible awful character okay We Can Say It! It's Okay! and i focused on el's perspective here, but the show makes it exceedingly clear that they are not compatible in this way at all and that this relationship is something that makes them both feel worse about themselves in serious ways. they don't have a strong foundation between them to fall back on and they won't be able to move forward and fix things between them until they forge one. everything is shit because at the end of the day they don't feel secure or comfortable with each other in a way that actually matters.

Ok so my last posts did GREAT (I love you all, fellow Simpos- Seeing other people go feral for this silly little man brings me JOY)
Sooooo, idk how many of you have one (ingame) BUT feel free to add/use my Absolutely Cracked™ Sampo
(UID/Info under the cut so I can ramble about he)
UID: 613736119
Also NOTE: My Trailblaze level COULD be higher but I'm waiting to do the next Equilibrium until I build up a few more characters, lmao)
But yea like- my man has
- Max Traces
- Max Eidolons
- Mostly BiS for Relics (May EVENTUALLY tweak some but like he's doing FANTASTIC rn/relic grinding is annoying/I gotta level other characters too lmao)
- Pretty good Light Cone (His really pretty 4* one) (I'll switch it once I acTUALLY GET A 5* NIHLITY CONE)
Here are the stats for My Boy rn if anyone's curious
Lmao so many people write off 4* characters but like?? He does so well in my party?? I legit couldn't imagine my party w/out him and I only take him out of the party if absolutely necessary tbh- (Plus he does get a LOT of use in my support slot because most of the support window is just filled w/ whoever the Newest 5* is and like. Sometimes you just need this silly little guy to help out-) <3

Underrated moment of joy in this season: The bleating ravens.
I swear my heart grew three sizes in that moment. Cuz I knew, I KNEW, that there was obviously no way Crowley was ever going to hurt a kid. I wasn’t sure how he was going to get out of it but I was positive he’d figure something out.
But the thing is (and I’m almost ashamed to say it) I completely bought the destruction of the goats. I didn’t love it, but I figured it fell into the same ~morally gray~ category Crowley so often does.
But turns out that demon is too kind-hearted to even harm a herd of goats! And that fact makes me MELT! Crowley is so soft and good on the inside, and he has such a strong sense of right and wrong, it kills me.
I want to wrap him in a blanket and give him a little kiss on the forehead. It’s what he deserves!

I was going to take before and after pictures of the dinner I made (bc I finally had time to cook again 🙌) but I was filled with so much euphoria when I finished cooking my taco filling and frying my tortillas that I completely forgot to take the after picture 😂 You’ll just have to trust that it was good
