At first I thought he was asking her since she hasn't really been on a plane (besides the jet)
But now I'm realizing he asked her because of her parents dying on a plane right before her eyes

"She'll see I'm not so tough,
Just because,
I'm in love with an uptown girl"
-Uptown Girl, Billy Joel
I have complicated thoughts about Purple's parents
It boils down to,
I think they did genuinely love each but they weren't ready to be parents

Sandstorm dying solely to further alderheart’s pissbaby manpain made me so upset. alderheart in general just pisses me off… him and tree were both just so blatantly written to steal the arc from their she-cat counterparts lmfao (sparkpelt, sandstorm, needletail, violetshine). that’s it, that’s their purpose… similar to rootspring and nightheart. I just can’t enjoy characters whose purpose narratively is to shove the she-cats to the wayside… it happens so much in this series already
yeah 😔 it's the repetition of the archetype and the context around it that gets me- on his own, alderheart is just "guy i don't really care about", same with rootspring and tree, but the more i sit down and think "hm, why are the male characters in the series written this way and the female characters written this way? why are events ordered in a way that constantly shifts attention and sympathy back towards the male characters?" i start to get mad about lots of little tiny details, which in turn make egregious things like "arc 1 legacy character getting unceremoniously fridged by dying in a ditch somewhere for a pittance of character development her boring grandson while all of her male counterparts get comparatively way more respectful or impactful deaths" even worse somehow.

okay but I actually do think that Sweet Nothing will stand the test of time unlike, say, lavender haze because the song itself is a rejection of the empty business of the world and the phrase sweet nothing, as deployed in the song, is about finding in the beloved freedom from the weight of crushing expectations and also the warmth of affection and simplicity.

remember when we all thought lauriam grabbing his friends and trying to attack them was unhinged?

just realising I said something factually wrong with extreme conviction that I was right in direct earshot of several people who would know I was bullshitting but would never correct me because i was a customer😨

finished tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. i guess i'm most irritated by marx's [redacted] throwing a wrench into the plot bc sam and sadie were just not gonna develop the ability to communicate. it felt cheap. like i already hate to be invested in this kind of emotional immaturity, and now you're not even writing it all the way through?? ok. i mean i don't even care abt character arcs being perfectly rounded out, or the perfect hero's journey, etc. but this was just like, u make me suffer their obnoxious college age/young adult interpersonal conflicts, and then u [redacted] this guy, and then they're older so they're wiser, and then it's over? why did i waste my time reading that shit. i guess it's more a story about aging being the primary vehicle of attaining maturity and perspective. which is fine, true even. just boring. the part that made me feel the most was when dong hyun [redacted] near the end.

I just realized that TL5 Megop completely inverts the "uwu babey nerd Orion and his buff jock gladiator boyfriend Megatronus" trope
Because
BECAUSE
Orion is actually the buff jock boyfriend and Megatronus is the quiet down-to-earth nerd. They've swapped roles. Orion would get into a knife fight at 2 a.m. over a stale muffin. Megatronus just very softly asks him to pretty please maybe reconsider armed combat over a three day old pastry 👉👈
It comes full circle
