Rosegarden Week- Day 1: Cuddles

Hello friends!! First day of Rosegarden Week, let’s keep this sweet week going!

______________________

“Don’t worry lil sis, you’ll be able to come when you grow up big and strong like me!” Yang yelled from the door, one arm wrapped around Blake’s shoulder and the other wrapped around Weiss.

“Yeah, Ruby. Don’t worry, you’ll get there soon.” Enthused Weiss, continuing to tease Ruby.

The girl in question only shot daggers at her friends and burrowed deeper in her cocoon of blankets.

Blake regarded her leader with a look of sympathy but decided against saying anything. She herself had been at that age that she wanted to be more independent, do grown up things, but then landed herself in Adam’s clutches. Rookie mistake of burning stages when time is your best ally.

Checking her scroll, Blake announced the time, and tugged on the blonde’s arm lightly. Burn as she might have been, Blake decided that being in Yang’s clutches was way better.

“Kay, Rubes! We´re leaving!” Weiss nudged Yang’s side and pulled, rolling her eyes.

No answer.

Ruby wrapped herself in a blanket, grumbling at her sister’s farewell from the door, too engrossed in her musings to truly care for a goodbye. The door closed mutedly, a gust of wind shuddered the windowpanes, and still Ruby fumed silently.

It had finally happened. Ruby’s most embarrassing moment of her life, one that no one would let her live down.

Even after all this time of fighting Grimm and being promoted to Huntress status, Ruby still got thrown out of a nightclub, planting her butt on a bank of snow, because she was 17 and thus, still considered a minor.

Twice.

‘It’s just so unfair!’, Ruby thought after brooding a bit more in furious quiet. ‘I risk my butt out there every day, and I can’t have fun!’. While very true, it was the middle of winter, and her coming of age birthday would not come for another year.

A few minutes passed before her mood lifted a bit. She had been putting off exploring the Atlas Academy kitchens, as well as their rec room. She was free to do as she pleased. Sighing softly, she shook the remaining grumpiness from her shoulders and rolled out of bed. She still had on the clubbing clothes Weiss had chosen for her: red shimmery top and black leather coupled with soggy tights after being pushed down a snowbank twice.

Peeling off her street wear, Ruby clad herself in her favorite long-sleeved pajama set, and wrapped a gray fleece blanket around her shoulders as she walked out the door.

She was gonna have some fun tonight, even if it were by her lonesome.

__________________________________________

Oscar hummed as he worked on incorporating the eggs into the sugary butter mixture in his bowl. He was in such a good mood, even after all his friends had gone out to party like hooligans. He was sure that the coming tales from the partying teens would make his breakfast much more interesting.

The academy kitchens were at his full disposition and Oscar was too much of a homebody to care that he was alone. He had dressed in his Nora-Issued Pumpkin Pete patterned pajama set (all members of team JNPR just had to match!) and a fluffy brown robe loosely tied to his waist. His shoulders were relaxed and with ease he found himself whisking away in his own world of warmth and coziness. He had forgone the bandages for the night, as his teammates would be long before they come back to their dorm and had applied some scarring salve to his neck.

He felt at ease, with his neck scars uncovered and airing out. They itched like they normally did after so long under bandages, but he avoided touching his itchy neck while he was cooking.

He threw in a handful of chocolate chips to the mixture as he fell back to his thoughts.

Nora and Yang would for sure bring the funniest anecdotes of the night, seconded only with Jaune’s string of guys and girls that would surely go after his “earnest and boyish allure”, as one of the Mantle moms had put it. Oscar chuckled at the thought of Jaune not understanding how he got a fanclub in the first place as he measured the cup of flour.

Slowly, so as to not overwhelm the cookie dough with the Atlesian flour (he preferred the one that his neighbors manufactured at their mill), he spooned a bit of the flour as he felt relaxing again. He imagined that each spoonful was one individual problem or obstacle of his day, and as he released it into the bowl, he felt letting go of his daily troubles. He inhaled deeply through his nostrils like Maria had taught him and was about to release slowly through his mouth.

Except.

“Whatcha doing, Oscar?”, an inquisitive voice startled him into a surprised gasp as a cloud of flour filled his field of vision. Both teens spluttered and coughed as flour got into their airways.

“M-milk!” groaned Oscar, his eyes stinging as his throat constricted painfully. Through the massive hacking, Ruby found the milk and uncapped it fast, and delivered it with a slap to Oscar’s chest.

Oscar took one gulp of milk and slammed the carton on the counter, his coughing fit reduced but not contained. Ruby took the carton then and had a swig herself before slamming it back on the counter, Oscar taking it then, and so on and so forth.

After the milk had been drank, the two teens slumped on the counter as evil (in the form of non glutinous Atlesian flour) had tried to take them to an early grave.

Winded out and cheeks planted on the cold countertop, they looked at each other and gave a giggly sigh.

“So…what were you doing before almost dying at age fourteen?”, Ruby asked as she booped him on the cheek.

He blushed lightly and sat back up as he slid the bowl of cookie dough to Ruby.

“Chocolate chip cookies.” He answered simply as he watched the black-haired girl taste a spoonful of dough. She wiggled in her seat.

“Man, this is good!” She said enthusiastically before a deadpan Oscar plopped a whole cup of flour into the bowl Ruby was digging her spoon back in. She pouted as he resumed his whisking around.

Oscar worked in silence, as Ruby watched his every move. He made baking look like a meditative process and looked so in the zone that she dared not to speak.

It was only as he planted the last of the dough using an ice cream scoop that he spoke up again.

“And I’m fifteen, by the way.”

The way that Ruby screeched her surprise made him stumble a bit, as he looked bewildered at her.

__________________________________________

Ruby paced back and forth in front of Oscar as he held a jar of freshly baked cookies in his lap. This particular rec room they were in had been loaned specifically for their group, seeing as General Ironwood in true Atlesian fashion, liked to play favourites and offered a ‘special housing arrangement for such a special group’.

The girl finished the last bite of her cookie, and as she gulped down, she turned to look at Oscar.

“March. The. Twentieth.” He shrank slightly as he passed another cookie to the fuming teen in front of him.

“Yep.”

“We are in APRIL! THE! TWENTIETH!”

“Mhm.”

“A whole month passed!” He just looked at her as she inhaled the cookie in her hand. She turned back to him and shook his shoulders slightly, “Why didn’t you tell us!?”, he just shrugged.

“I lost track of time; I swear! We were all just so busy training, and going to missions, and stuff…”

“But you didn’t go to any missions you just trained with the General!”

Oscar just rubbed his arm, looking at a cookie as he seemingly inspected it for imperfections. He sat silently as he willed his face to not heat up under such strong scrutiny.

Ruby bit her lip as she realized that he had not gone to any missions, but she and the rest did.

“Ah.” She said, suddenly feeling quite lame as she wrapped herself tighter in her blanket. Ruby watched as Oscar nibbled on a cookie, collecting his thoughts. She sat down on the couch with him shoulder to shoulder, her bravado gone.

They sat in silence munching on cookies for a bit, before Ruby jumped up and dashed away in a flurry of red petals, leaving Oscar mulling the past minutes over and over again.

Sitting there alone he thought about how silly it became to him that he halfheartedly hoped for Ruby to come back. Just as he was dusting himself off, Ruby reappeared in front of him carrying bulks of blankets under both arms.

“Meet me in my dorm in like ten, kay?” she said hurriedly as she tucked the sofa cushion under her chin and bolted back to her dorm.

Oscar felt a flurry of nervousness, and giddiness at the pit of his stomach, which he tried to stomp with yet another cookie.

Deciding to get the rest of the cookies, he walked back to the kitchen and prepared a basket with whatever he could find.

__________________________________________

“Woah.” Oscar had been caught unaware and surprised many times over since he joined the ragtag group of hunstmen rookies, he had seen horrors beyond his imagination, and his fate revealed cruelly in front of his very eyes. He had also seen bouts of astounding magic and impossible things. He had done impossible things.

But he had never been surprised silly by the simplest of things. Like this. Oscar felt a special type of warmth in his heart as he watched as Ruby applied the last touches to the most spectacular pillow fort he had seen in his life.

Somehow, she had found fairy lights and attached them to a canopy of blankets over the nest of pillows and sofa cushions that lay arranged in a very cozy manner on the floor. It looked comfy as hell and knowing Atlas’ penchant for luxurious materials for the tiniest of things, he had no doubt that the pillows were heavenly soft and plush.

He swept his gaze to Ruby as she set her scroll on top of some books, the camera facing a wall and in projector mode as it displayed a frozen still from a movie (or something). He sniffled a bit, touched by the barest of details, and his eyes pricked ever so lightly.

Hearing the quiet sniffle, Ruby whirled around and caught him misty eyed. In a panic, she rushed to him and squished his cheeks as she shushed him.

“Not! No crying today, Oscar. We´re gonna watch comedies and gorge ourselves in food till we enter a food coma.” Oscar nodded, his cheeks and ears heating up as Ruby continued to press her palms to his face.

Oscar had felt the rush of blood to his veins before, but it was always under perilious circumstances. Never before had a friend (definitely not a crush!) done something so touching and…homey. Like this.

“Mm mwot gwon cwa, boh plis rewt me gwo.” Ruby blinked at the unintelligible string of sounds that left Oscar’s pinched lips. Realizing she had squeezed his cheeks for too long, she let go immediately.

“Oh! He-hee. Oops, my bad.” She stammered, suddenly embarrassed.

“It’s ok. I got some of the fancy stuff that Winter keeps sending Weiss but that she doesn’t actually like.” He said, lifting the basket up for Ruby to inspect.

After accepting his offer of cold meat cuts and fancy-difficult- to-pronounce cheeses, Oscar and Ruby settled on the nest of soft blankets and plush pillows on the floor.

“Kay,” Ruby began as she went over tonight’s movie selection, “I got The Yuletide, about a girl living in a cottage in Mistral and another lady in a mansion in Atlas who swap homes for the holiday. I also got Huntsman Trap, about two estranged huntress trainees who get into the same Academy, discover they are twins and set up their big-name Huntsmen parents who got divorced. Or! The Pink Manticore, a crazy detective from Vacuo joins forces with experts to find the fabled Pink Manticore, a huge pink diamond that is rumoured to be possessed.”

Oscar scratched his chin deep in thought as he hugged a pillow to his chest.

“Mhm… How about the twin movie?”

Ruby grinned. She had already selected the movie.

_________________________________________

After watching two of Ruby’s movie selections and eating sweet and savory foods until they could no longer accept one more crumb, both teens plopped down the pillows and burrowed in the fluffy blankets contentedly.

Ruby had turned off the fairy lights, and her scroll was projecting on their canopy of blankets overhead the pinpricks of the night sky.

Oscar was looking at the soft flecks of lights, flickering like they would under the winter night. His hands rested lazily on his full stomach, his left hand every so often pointing at the makeshift heavens.

“What’s that… smoky section of the sky?” Ruby asked, her right hand pointing at the general direction of the splattering of spots above.

Oscar narrowed his eyes a bit, pulling a memory not his own, but soon to become, out of the recesses of his soul.

“That’s the Seafoam River, we can’t really see it because of pollution, but many years ago it was brighter than the Moon.” He explained.

Ruby ‘aah-ed’ and looked at the stripe of stars and nebulae. She turned her body slightly to look at him, her palm under her chin.

“I have a question.” She said simply, her stare was hot platinum, intense and burning into his very soul.

Oscar turned his body to mirror hers and noticed her steadfast gaze. Feeling blood rush to his neck, he realized with a jolt that his scars were visible and had been for the entirety of the night. His hand flew fast to the side of his neck, shielding as much as he could the reminder of his childhood trauma.

“I… This is from the day my parents died.” He confessed. Ruby made a sound at the back of her throat, confused. “Can’t remember well, but a Grimm-“

“That wasn’t it!” Ruby interrupted as she grabbed his hand in hers, shaking Oscar out of his memories. “Just wanted to ask what type of farm you had, that’s all!” Oscar let a soft ‘oh?’, surprised. “But if you feel ready to tell me about it, I am here.”

Oscar shook his head.

“Sorry! I just thought… I didn’t want to scare you off with this.” He pointed at the cris-crossed scarred pattern in his neck.

Ruby giggled softly as she squeezed his hand.

“Oscar, my sister lost her arm and Weiss and Blake all have scars. We all do. We just gotta… accept them for the gift of a second chance that they are.”

Slowly, Oscar laid back down on his back. His long mile stare bore holes on the piece of fabric over their heads as he just laid there pensive.

“You don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to… I can put on another movie from our selection, its fine!” Ruby sat up quickly to select the Pink Manticore, the funny Vacuoan noir comedy, when she felt Oscar tug at their still joined hands. She squeezed his hand softly.

“Actually, I always dreamed about getting sheep so I could collect their wool and make dyed yarn and maybe sell it down by the town square.”

Smiling softly, Ruby settled back down and tuned to Oscar as he explained the process of shearing and dying wool.

Over time, the conversation petered out in between yawns and strenuous effort to keep awake. The last thing Ruby saw was Oscar’s eyelashes brushing his cheeks as he finally fell asleep, his face relaxed and content.

Looking at their held hands between their bodies, she felt happier than she had been in a very long time. She had finally gotten to learn more about her friend, and feeling particularly close and placid, she let sleep wash over her.

_________________________________________

“Aw man, look at this!” Whisper-yelled Yang from the doorway to their dorm before she got loudly shushed by a barely sober Weiss.

The white-haired huntress was standing impossibly slanted, forty-five degrees to her right as she tried (in vain) to regain her composure, while Yang looked on the scene before her from the door.

“They. Are. Sleeping!” Weiss complained to her blonde teammate, who shushed her back sarcastically.

Irritated, Weiss began shushing Yang as she mimicked the white-haired girl back, initiating an argument expressed in overly dramatic shushing.

Blake and Ren shared a long-time suffering look, peeking out close enough to the door but not too much, avoiding Nora who fell asleep in the middle of the hallway, standing straight up, holding on to a stop-sign she had nicked from Mantle.

Jaune looked at Ruby and Oscar, both looking impossibly cozy as they cuddled in their pillow nest. They hugged lightly in their sleep, snoring softly and unaware of their friends looking at their snuggle.

“Look at them!” Jaune exclaimed softly, blue eyes soft and fond as he regarded his younger teammates. “They are headbutting their foreheads together!”

Blake poked her head into the room to see better and hummed.

“I get what they are trying to say. Headbutting is a whole declaration.” She said sagely, her ears twitching over her head. Blinking, she turned to the hallway as she heard someone approaching. She cocked her head when she saw who it was.

“Hey, Penny.”

“Salutations my friends!” The red-haired android girl exclaimed happily.

Weiss stopped her shushing match with Yang and slowly turned to Penny.

“Penny! Hush! Look at them they are sleeping!” she slurred.

Penny engaged her lock-on optics to scan Weiss quickly.

“Oh! It seems that you have been inebriated!”

Weiss spluttered indignantly.

Deciding to leave the dorm for the time being, Jaune pushed his way out of the dorm and closed the door.

“Hey guys, maybe we should simmer down a little bit.” Jaune said, pointing at the closed door as he tried to her the group further down the corridor.

Yang chuckled.

“Yeah! Looks like Ruby and Oscar need to catch up on their sleep to grow big and strong.” A chorus of giggles echoed as the group tried to stifle their laughter while Penny looked on confused.

“Sleep? But if I came here to wait exactly forty-five minutes until your usual waking time?”

Weiss snapped out of it suddenly.

“Are you telling me its already five a.m.?!”

__________________________________________

Later that day Marrow noticed that the kids from Beacon all seemed lethargic and whiny, compared to their usual selves. Their reaction times were off and seemed confused. Frankly, it was like herding cats that day.

Marrow decided to take Ruby and Oscar, who were spry and looking fresh, on a stake out with him by the Solitas’ mines instead. During the entire mission, Oscar and Ruby seemed to have a new spring on their steps, and in Marrow’s opinion, he had once again stuck babysitting more lovesick fools.

This is a great article, a lot of explinations

Speeding toward its milestone 150th episode (aka Part 1 of the Season 7 finale, airing this Tuesday at 8/7c), The CW’s The Flash reunited Barry Allen with grown daughter Nora… as well as introduced him to his and Iris’ son, Bart!

It’s a lot for the yet-to-be-dad (played by Grant Gustin) to process, especially amidst an explosive, season-ending war between Godspeed clones. Will having WestAllen’s speedster kids at the ready help, or possibly hurt, Team Flash’s cause? Jordan Fisher (Grease Live), who last week made his (brief but flashy) debut as Bart Allen, shared with a TVLine a peek at the 2049 superhero’s impulsive ways — as well as teased Cisco’s imminent encore.

TVLINE | Tell me all about Mr. Bart Allen. From his first scene alone, he seems quite full of life. A hundred percent, my God. There are a lot of things I love about Bart, but the thing that makes him most attractive to me in terms of a superhero to play as an actor is the humanity that he has. Another thing I love about him is how cool he knows he is. [Laughs] He knows — it’s not even a question! — that he has the most style of all the speedsters, he’s got the most flair, he’s got the moves, he’s the only one who is parkouring off of stuff…. It’s all fun for Bart. He understands that he has all of these crazy, awesome abilities, and instead of being really calculative with all of it and being cautious and careful, he’s like, “Dude!” [Laughs] His impulsivity, which is obviously where his name comes from, is a strength for him. No one can predict what he’s going to do because he doesn’t even really know! Saying he’s “full of life” is the best way to sum it up. He feels everything in extremes. When he is angry, he is angry. When he is thrilled, he is over the moon. And that is a direct reflection of his heart and his soul.

TVLINE | How would you describe the dynamic between Bart and Nora (played again by Jessica Parker Kennedy)? We haven’t seen her with a brother before.

No, we haven’t. We haven’t. But while he’s that “annoying little brother” for her, she loves him to death. They both just adore each other, because at the end of the day they are siblings. And they’re siblings first, before they are superheroes, before they are partners in crime.

TVLINE | But to be clear, they’re not twins, right? Yes, yes. To be clear, they are not twins, and we learn about that instantly. People should be able to tell [Laughs], just in terms of how they are as people and how they act. He’s definitely a little younger! But that only adds to the dynamic of, “My God, you’re so freakin’ annoying!. But I love you and I got your back, I promise.”

TVLINE | When Nora first appeared on the show, things were kind of chilly between her and Iris (Candice Patton), for reasons. How do Bart and this Nora get along with Mom? Bart is a momma’s boy. At the end of the day, that’s what he is. What’s nice is that now that all four of us are established as Mom and Dad and daughter and son, we get to really mess around with what this dynamic is like as a family. Like, what’s the difference between Barry and Iris and Nora and Bart, rather than The Flash and XS and Impulse? How do they function when they are superheroes out in the field together as opposed to when they’re all at Joe’s house, hanging out talking? With Bart being such a momma’s boy and loving Iris as much as he does, Nora gets to take little bits of what Iris does, or how Candice [Patton] has portrayed Iris, and have moments to be a calming force for Bart when things start to get out of hand — which of course whenever Bart is in the mix, it can be!

TVLINE | What are you allowed to say about what exactly has brought Bart and Nora to the year 2021? I’m not! [Laughs] I’m not allowed to say. But we will find out very soon.

TVLINE | For much of Nora’s previous arc, she was hiding important things from her parents. Do Bart and Nora have secrets they’ll be keeping? I think that anybody that comes from the future is going to have information that we do not, and I think that it is very important that those people keep what needs to be a secret a secret, so as to not affect the timeline. And I am doing the same thing right now, as to not affect the show! [Laughs] So that’s that.

TVLINE | One thing we know for sure is that Mr. Carlos Valdes is due back in these final two episodes of the season. What can you tease about the first time we see Cisco again? Carlos is one of the most fun people that I have worked with. We’re very similar in a lot of ways, I think that we just got each other pretty instantly, so hopefully that dynamic comes across.

As for the actual way he returns… it is epic. And he is epic. That moment is a huge moment.

Rosegarden Week: After the War

“After the War, Springtime Always Comes”

Years have passed after the War, and Oscar has turned twenty-four. Inheriting everything that Ozpin had during his lifetime, he must make hard decisions. Thankfully, Ruby is there to support him.

In other words: Oscar has now too much money in his hands and he has no idea how to properly distribute it. Thankfully he has family and friends who help him along the way.

The Flash: The Family of Speed

(Photo credits: The CW)

[WARNING: Spoilers Ahead for The Flash Season 7 Episode 17 "Heart of the Matter Part 1"]

CW series The Flash just hit a milestone, their 150th episode aired yesterday, July 13, 2021, and it was one of most anticipated episodes of the 7th season.

As shown in the epilogue of the 16th episode last week, Barry (Grant Gustin) was visited by his grown-up daughter Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy). While he seemed happy to see her, he was not expecting a visit from his grown-up son Bart (Jordan Fisher).

In the opening of this week's episode, Nora and Bart were in 2049, fighting GodSpeed, a villainous speedster who has it out for Bart. In the present timeline, the two young speedsters were welcomed by Team Flash members Chester (Brandon McKnight), Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) and Cecille (Danielle Nicolet). One of my favorite moments in the episode was when Bart opening up to Barry and Iris (Candice Patton) and telling them that Godspeed was his arch-nemesis. Jordan portrayed the character so well that the viewers can really see Bart's anger towards Godspeed. Allegra (Kayla Compton) coping with the death of her cousin Esperanza (guest star Alexa Barajas) was also addressed, which I really appreciated.

Of course, the team can't fight many villains alone, so they had to call in a few reinforcements like beloved Team Flash member Francisco "Cisco" Ramon (Carlos Valdes) and Jay Garrick (John Wesley Shipp). The re-appearance of these 2 characters brought joy to fans, as they were some of the fan-favorite characters throughout the show. I honestly cried when Cisco appeared because I really love his character so much.

Towards the end of the episode, the real Godspeed was introduced and was known by the name of August Heart (Karan Oberoi) when Barry had to go Inception-mode and enter the mind of Heart, which I personally found interesting. This then ended on a cliffhanger, which gripped fans for an epic season finale next week, July 20, 2021.

One thing that I really loved watching in this episode was the family dynamics that existed between Barry, Iris, Nora and Bart. They really made me feel like they are an actual family who really exists in reality. Also, Barry and Iris addressing problems like actual parents made me want them to be actual parents.

Being a fan of this show for 5 years, I really love it when the show continues to expand their horizons and (re) introduce well-loved characters in a new way. I will continue to support and watch the show until it ends because I love the characters, the cast and crew who put so much work into bringing these characters to life. Sometimes, storylines may be a bit off and not in line with the main arc but it can be easily put back on track with the help of some "filler" episodes which while not serving the main arc, it can be found as a step to further understand why a character is who he/she is.

I will continue to spread love about the show and its cast and crew because they are the reason why The Flash is one of my most favorite shows in the universe. Kudos to everyone who works hard to bring these comic-book characters to life.

The Flash airs Tuesdays at 8/7 central on The CW.

What are your thoughts on why 90% of the clips in S4 were so short? Do you have any intel on that...

I mean let’s ignore the fact that regardless of length, all the clips lacked any substance anyway cause we’ve covered that. Despite all the many obvious flaws with S4 that we’ve all written verse and chapter about in the last few months I just find the clip length choices really bizarre? Wtfock usually have a few quite meaty clips throughout a season but we really got none here.

I suppose the argument is there that it was because of covid restrictions while filming etc but I dunno, if you’re shooting for a full day you can easily get more than a minute or two worth of content...and it doesn’t all need to be dialogue. Do you think it’s again just a combination of all the factors we’ve already discussed; inexperience of the team/misunderstanding of the format etc?

I don’t really know where I’m going with this ask. But just interested to hear your thoughts because it was yet another thing that added to the disjointed feel of the season.

(Sorry I don’t mean to keep making you repeat and repeat to anons that it was a plethora of factors that failed season 4 😂)

similar anon: Do you know why they changed director as well? Maybe they will go back to the old directors like they will go back to the old writers now they are in properly scheduled for S5?

similar anon: If they'd integrated her influencer lifestyle in the show, i think the sponsored content could have worked. As an influencer who was also trying to save money, it should have made it 1000x easier to incl. the sponsored content as a part of her world w/out the audience feeling ambushed by it. The sponsorships could've been peppered into the clips, not by force, but by incorporating more bts of her life as a influencer alongside her personal life

The old director went to direct sputnik’s new show Mesjes. I also have a theory I think we got so much sponsored content because sputnik spent so much money producing Mesjes/new content they couldn't afford the hit of not having a wtfock season air in 2020. wtFOCK is clearly their cash cow and producing a new show is expensive and I think they probably budgeted their entire 2020 production profits on wtfock existing so they couldn't delay till 2021. Thats just what I predict.

Also it would have been well over a year till yasmina’s season would have aired. Also I think the clips were short because for some odd reason wtfock got it into their heads that we wouldn't be open to exploring a new character who wasnt Moyo or part of the squad and in a way they are right. We never asked for Kato and all of us were highly disappointed when we got her but it wasnt for the reasons they think. For one we clearly did not want a white protagonist in the age of BLM. If we had to have a new character because the fandom isnt dumb we know about the blocks then commit to developing them. Give them an actual narrative arc and am sorry I don’t want to hear about the covid excuse. Think about Druck how much time did we spend with nora just in her house or kiki’s apt? Its obvious production had to shoot a ton of druck in Nora’s house or they use a lot of parks/campsites/parking lots and the school. There was a ton of “walking to places” too in druck because of covid but what I wish wtfock would have done with Kato instead of the useless 1 min daily clips which btw I think didn't help the director catch how bad the season was going because he was seeing the playback in super short clip form was to use Kato being stuck in her home as a form to get to know her. She is influencer why didn't we have clips with her spending hours looking at other’s insta. Maybe do a sponsored clip with her trying to do a make up tutorial and spotlight the brand but maybe in the clip we see her do 50 takes because she is a perfectionist. Let her go to the gym but merely so she can put it on the gram and be that annoying person that “got up at 5am for a workout”. I just dont get why they didn't develop this girl its like they were to scare to give her any meaning and the only meaning she got was via Moyo but then that was weird because it made the fandom be like why are we following this girl again? if moyo is in 80% of the clips why do we care about her? Once again poor judgement Moyo could have been there but thats not an excuse not to develop her. So finally my thoughts It just seems that production was afraid we wouldn't watch unless the squads or moyo were there. They wouldnt let go of their daily drops(because god knows we needed 3 sponsored clips a week) and also to us spending time with the main in her room just seeing her life its like Kato became background in her own season and she only showed up to insult people and be problematic.
