People interpreting this scene as Mac just like, swooning, are missing the beautiful reality that he is being physically restrained from attacking a small child and is giving the kids an absolute death glare throughout
we watched all* turtle media! here's our ranking list!
*we would watch shows from the beginning until we lost interest, then we'd jump ahead in the series and repeat until we had a good overall impression of the show (we mostly cared about characterization and relationship dynamics).
the rankings are not indicative of objective or subjective quality. it's just based on how much we enjoyed them

I will never ever forever ever be over the True Colors scene.
Branch finally comes out of his shell bc while he knows life can be miserable, he doesn't want Poppy to know that pain, even tho he's seeing her experience it first hand for the first time. And its devastating!!! He doesn't like it for anyone!! Even after he said he couldn't wait to see her experience that. That bites.
He tries so hard to get her to come back to color, he tentatively opens up for a hug, holding her hands and face, the little slide which i adore. and that finally gets to Poppy, she see him!! Shes experiencing joy again and so is he!! and she starts to go back to her pink!! And hes so happy for her!!! Bc he loves and believes in her!!
I just really love also that she doesn't turn pink bc he said he loved her, which I think she already knew deep down, but bc hes finally blossoming into himself!! But it was an excellent touch. he only turns back to his original colors once she joins in, strengthening him, truly connecting with him. Bc shes believed in him since the beginning.
also mr dinkles turns back to his true colors and biggie is so happy and he hugs him and his color begins to spread from where they're touching and that rips me to shreds every time. Thats a type of love that can never be communicated through words amen
i am so obnoxious over bg3 but like. privately. bcs i'm still urgehafsjsh over how astarion is literally everything to me now and i really adore him but hi: i haven't played bg3. anyway. half-elf + bard maybe!
