Fanfic writers out there depicting kid Tim Drake as a little bundle of anxiety and the 🥺🥺 face while I'm over here absolutely convinced that that kid had the personality of the little girl from Uptown Girls

oh i kinda hate how leverage: redemption season 2 ends. astrid just believes sophie & says she’s family? i love sophie, and i know what it’s like to hurt someone when acting in self-preservation or fear… but that’s exactly why i think that astrid deserves to feel however she wants to feel about what sophie did. she was sad and angry when we first saw her. she said she’d devoted her life to catching grifters because sophie ruined her and her father’s lives. like… you don’t just get over that in the course of a day! and you shouldn’t have to!
if she wants to forgive sophie, that’s really great too, i’m not against forgiveness lol - but we saw that astrid very much hadn’t forgiven her just hours earlier, and we didn’t get to see astrid express any of that anger & sadness or come to terms with this whole situation at hand. plus the show had been setting up a very emotional arc for sophie & astrid for quite a few episodes, and then we never actually get much of a payoff. and no proper explanation for why she trusts sophie’s plan and doesn’t want to arrest her.
but instead it makes no sense!! and was super crammed for time, which is probably why we didn’t get much of an explanation. we got more of sophie feeling guilty than astrid getting to process & discuss the thing that was done to HER. i loved all the build up to the finale episodes, but not the episodes themselves :( feel free to disagree though, id kinda like to hear more discussion & perspectives on this!

WIP WEDNESDAY
“What, Vash the Stampede? That’s ‘cause Tiny Terror over there’ll kick your balls through your backside if you even try,” he replies with a nod towards the skinny kid on the far end.
Said tiny terror snaps a hand up with their middle finger raised but doesn’t dispute the claim.
“Kid’s got a penchant for strays,” the bartender continues, a teasing glint in his eyes like he’s trying to rile his coworker up. “Who needs a dogcatcher when Little Lina’s around to scoop ‘em all up?”
An only child, Meryl doesn’t know how normal siblings behave, but she recognizes the way Lina rounds on the bartender from her own companions. Even back at the start, Vash and Wolfwood would taunt and pounce on each other like two two-hundred-pound kittens tussling in the sands. When Milly joined them, they’d been cautious at first until they realized growing up with the whole Thompson clan had equipped Milly to give just as good as she got and with a sugar-sweet smile that made it hard to actually pin the blame on her, to boot.
Watching them, Meryl had felt a little like a researcher observing another species or perhaps a reclusive community that spoke in its own language. When she tried to engage, at first, her words were always too sharp, too-often landing in a way that actually hurt. She’d gotten better at it over the years, but she still didn’t really have the hang of play-fighting, of biting back without breaking skin.
this has basically turned into a 10k Meryl character study which was not the point but is also. where we're at right now. check in next week to see if i have finally dug Milly and Chronica's characters out of the dunes as well
