grace was 100% reminded of his middle schoolers when rocky said “fist my bump.” yesterday one of my sixth graders asked if i was single instead of if i had a single [dorm room]. over the summer one of my rising sixth graders complained about being unable to bring a shell home from hawaii because of “invasive orgasms living inside of it.” love my kids they are so smart sometimes their grasp on the english language is not the strongest

At Toba aquarium in Japan, after closing time, some clever little otter pups help their grandpa tidy up their toys. As a reward, he gives them ice cubes
Just watched supergirl and oh my god i am so obssed with the fact that we have a female main character and shes sloppy and snippy and rude and an alcoholic and messy and flawed. And yet shes still able to be kind and good and be an inspiration to people. All while not having a romance and while not trying to appeal to anyone. This is what everything should be.

So no, actually, I'm not done talking about colours and the Kiramman family!
Yes, we established that green is the Kiramman family colour, but they actually seem to have a secondary family colour as well - purple.
House Talis' family colour is red, thus their banner is fully red. But the Kiramman banner? It has purple details at the bottom, underneath the green bulk.
That's not the only case of purple being associated with the Kirammans. The tree in their garden has purple petals (which are dropped into Cassandra's casket at her funeral to further emphasise their familial importance), Caitlyn changes her bed curtains to purple and she also wears that super cute purple pyjama top when Jayce visits her in season 1.
One of purple's connotations is power and inner strength, which are key qualities held by both Kiramman matriarchs. For Cassandra, I think it's clearly demonstrated through her building the vent system; Piltover's general consensus around that time was very negative towards Zaun, so to come out and say "The people of the Undercity deserve to breathe" and then spend who knows how much money building a ventilation system that runs through the entire city surely would have taken not only a lot of power but also a lot of inner strength. It's those qualities that allowed Cassandra to defy the opinions of others and do what she thought was right... That sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Caitlyn goes through the very same thing. She directly goes against both the Enforcers and her own mother by breaking Vi out of Stillwater and running around Zaun trying to solve the case and get the crystal back herself. Then, when she and Vi present their case to the council, they're still defying the general consensus - and Caitlyn even holds onto this in the early parts of season 2, like how she goes against Salo's idea for violence by saying "Innocents will be caught in the crossfire". Their defiance is their strength.
One instance of purple within the Kiramman family is particularly interesting, though: Caitlyn's Zaun disguise outfit.
It's purple. One of purple's most famous connotations is wealth and prosperity, due to how expensive its dye used to be. So I think it's particularly interesting that Caitlyn was wearing the colour of wealth while running around Zaun in an attempt to disguise herself - it calls back to the idea that she's a misfit. She doesn't fit in nor belong where she is, sticking out like a sore thumb despite trying her best.
Obviously wealth and prosperity are fitting connotations for the Kiramman family due to their affluence, along with spirituality for their Ionian heritage (especially with the theory that the tree was actually brought over by said ancestors), but it becomes even more interesting when you break it down. Purple is a secondary colour - you get it by mixing red and blue. House Talis' family colour is red, established through their banner and also through Jayce, and it's an important plot point in season 1 that Houses Talis and Kiramman are close. Cassandra was Jayce's sponsor for the Academy, and she's the one showing Jayce off at Progress Day after his success with Hextech. Red is a part of purple, just like how House Talis is a part of House Kiramman; the Kirammans' prestige wouldn't be as great without Jayce's success, but purple is a more complex colour than red and therefore the Kirammans are still greater than he is. As for blue? Blue is Piltover's colour.
The Enforcers - the police department of Piltover - wear blue uniforms. Hextech, Piltover's greatest invention, is blue.
So House Kiramman is built on both House Talis and Piltover, symbolising its place as one of the most influential families in terms of progress and its rank as one of the founding families. Piltover would not be what it is without the Kirammans, and the Kirammans would not be who they are without Piltover.
But there's one more thing. Purple, being the result of mixing blue and red, symbolises balance - balance between stability (blue) and energy (red). Caitlyn as a character is constantly in and out of this balance: between having a job at the Enforcers but being stifled by her mother and boss, to getting blown up by Jinx and then not having a job at all, to breaking a girl out of prison using a forged signature to solve a case, to all the chaos that happens during said case, up until losing her mother and her own way as a result of her grief. But who's the one person who is, without fail, able to bring her back? Vi. And what's Vi's full name? Violet. A shade of purple.
Vi is Caitlyn's balance, hence why Caitlyn falls apart and descends into madness when she loses her and then later rebuilds herself when they reunite.
Straying away from Vi particularly but still on the topic of balance, I've always been intrigued by the fact that Cassandra and Caitlyn never fought in the garden - it was a safe place for them. Interesting that the tree, which is purple, is also in that garden. Almost like the garden balanced their fiery energies to the point that they didn't fight anymore.
Anyway. Back to Vi.
That small purple stripe on the Kiramman banner symbolises how Vi was always meant to be part of the family. A late addition, due to the stripe being at the bottom of the banner, but it's still there and just as important as the rest. The banner's design would be incomplete without it - just like how Caitlyn's family isn't complete without Vi.
So, yeah. Soulmate stuff, basically. And hey, if you're still not convinced...
Likes 'all things purple', huh? We know, Caitlyn. We know.
in hindsight, it is kind of funny how those jokes about how Lex was lucky Kara was off planet when he decided to kidnap, torture and then plan to kill Krypto turned out to be actually pretty accurate.
But then, as the writer of the movie said, that also kinda highlights the difference between Clark and Kara's way of looking at things, ie Clark recognising when people do bad things and hoping that they can be better people in the future vs. Kara recognising that they did bad things and the ability to change doesn't mitigate the harm they did to others in the first place.
And how, importantly, Kara doesn't think Clark is naive for thinking like this, just his comparatively privileged upbringing hasn't worn him down in the same way hers has (a level of shelter that she kinda resents him for for most of the film).
I think that’s an important part. Kara disagrees with Clark’s view, but she never actually calls it wrong. Clark doesn’t know what he missed. He grew up in safety and comfort. Kara is the child of a diaspora, who literally saw her world waste way around her one day a time.
Clark's comparative privilege gives him the luxury of being able to be nice, which Kara doesn't think is BAD just frustrating as he doesn't approach things from the same headspace as her due to their hugely difference life experiences.
"I don't recruit Sera because she has problematic views on mages" Sera is the representative of the average Thedosian in a cast full of people who cannot relate to that experience of just being A Normal Guy. The average Southern Thedas peasant doesn't hate mages, they are scared of magic itself like I hate to rain on your Mage Rights parade but that is the reality of the games' world. And Sera handles being surrounded by magic and mages a lot better than most people of her background (aka your average commoner) would. Do you have this level of vitriol towards the various actually anti-mage male characters or is it just the woman who gets singled out for not being a perfect #ally.
A very personal and self indulgent rant about why I think Jax is terrible
Ok, so, I have been working on an analysis of episode 6, and I’m gonna be completely honest…it’s been really fucking hard, because trying to dissect certain scenes in a critical manner without getting what closely equates to white-hot reflexive anger about what happens in them has been a challenge. There’s something that I think that I need to address regarding Jax that specifically pisses me off before I can actually dive into why this episode was phenomenal.
Because make no mistake, I loved episode 6, I rank it as the 2nd best episode of the series, and I really want to bring up about what’s been on my mind that makes it so good. But I just need to get a few things off my chest so I can finally move on with talking about this show again in the way that I want to.
Full disclosure, this is not meant to convince anyone why Jax should be hated or that you’re a bad person for liking him. And if you come into the comments or reblog this post trying to defend your stance on why he’s actually not as terrible as I make him out to be or that I’m taking what happens to a bunch of cartoon characters way too seriously or why you think he actually deserves my love instead of my contempt, I’m deleting it and blocking you on the spot.
Alright, let me just cut right to the chase.
This moment here
Was legitimately triggering
And it makes Pomni’s subsequent reaction of just fucking going off on the obnoxious motherfucker that much more cathartic
Because nothing pisses me off more than someone backtracking what they said that clearly went too far by putting the blame on the person who was offended for being offended
I grew up with people like this, and it is fucking exhausting
But more importantly, it solidified exactly the kind of asshole Jax is that I want to keep far away from me
People who find Jax to have the most depth out of all the characters, I’m glad you’re enjoying your puddle of a man. Sincerely, I’m glad that he’s a character that you can go crazy for and he has so many layers that you can peel back and play with to your heart’s content.
But to me, Jax has always been kind of a glass onion. A character that may appear complicated, but their covering is so transparent that it doesn’t take much to see their core. And at Jax’s core, he’s a selfish coward.
Which is why as a character I didn’t find him to be all that endearing compared to the others, cuz he doesn’t give me much else other than “Insecure bully”, and later “insecure bully who also misses his friend”
That’s not to say that I didn’t find him entertaining or his behavior interesting to analyze, because obviously that’s not true. I just wasn’t inclined to sympathize or project any headcanons about how he just needed one good hug to be better. He wasn’t a misunderstood jerk, I understood him just fine, it’s the deliberate choice to be shitty to other people that I don’t tend to tolerate
And it can be quite aggravating to once in a while stumble onto a take that claims that because Jax’s behavior manifests from a trauma this means that it entitles him to some patience and understanding, or even worse, forgiveness and empathy from the victims of their abusive nature
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I’m just gonna say it, you don’t owe the people who hurt you your patience, nor are you lesser for refusing to extend that patience
Now, there’s a big difference between a misanthrope and a bully. Misanthropes would rather fully not engage with people for reasons that vary, but generally it’s because they don’t like or trust them. They will do whatever they can to be as isolated as possible. They will not be friendly, they will bare teeth, they will push others away because isolation is much more manageable and it makes them feel like they’re less likely to get hurt. Bullies, however, need to be around other people that they can torment so they can feel better about themselves, they actively seek out their victims and seek validation from like minded mean spirited individuals because it gives them the satisfaction of having power over someone to compensate for having little to no power in other aspects of their lives. Taking and coveting control are a bully’s main goal.
And because of that, bullies have always been losers to me, and no amount of sad backstory or tragic reasonings or self justifications is ever gonna make me think of them as anything less than just losers
Do I pity the fact that they are commonly victims of their own terrible coping mechanisms and quite often victims themselves that led to them developing the said coping mechanism? Sure. Do I think they deserve death? No. Do I think that bullies deserve the chance to change and eventually find a way to be genuinely happy? Absolutely, I actually quite adore characters like that. I adore characters that grow from a crack in the concrete, get stomped on repeatedly, yet still find the strength to bloom into something that defied previous expectations. I find that kind of resilience rather beautiful
But Jax, is not that kind of character, and the show has been repeatedly beating its audience over the head with the fact that his arc is not about getting better. It’s him making the conscious choice to double-down on his bullshit despite the fact that it’s obviously making him absolutely miserable
And choosing to hurt people out of some flimsy attempt at self preservation, will automatically make someone unsympathetic in my eyes
What ultimately makes me think of Jax, and by extension a lot of troubled male characters that are generally favored by their fandoms, as genuinely awful:
Is the utter lack of personal accountability
And for a character to receive any kind of redemption arc that’s actually worth something, they need to acknowledge the people they’ve hurt and make an effort to change
(Also, the key to redemption, is to not expect complete absolution for those efforts)
Jax has proven time and time and time again, that he won’t
Even him getting explosively defensive over Pomni unintentionally insinuating that the reason why people abstract is because [he] doesn’t take things seriously enough, goes to show that just accusing him of being in the wrong sets him off
He doesn’t want to acknowledge consequences
This is why I sincerely doubt that Gooseworx wrote him with a redemption arc in mind, because it takes more than just a character having someone to support them in their journey and not giving up on them, they need to not give up on themselves, and Jax already has
Jax essentially lost what little respect I had for him (and mind you there wasn’t much in the bucket to begin with) when he admitted that he doesn’t think of the others as people
And I’m well aware that he includes himself on that front, which is why he uses this self defeating nihilism to cover up his own self loathing
But there’s a clear double standard that he exhibits between how he thinks the others should be seen and therefore treated and how he prefers to be seen and therefore treated
If he really believed his own cope, he wouldn’t get so petulantly upset when things don’t go exactly his way. If the benefit of no one being real truly meant that everyone has the freedom to do what they please, he wouldn’t try to force everyone to act a certain way just to feel more comfortable in his own skin. So it’s pretty obvious by that point that he’s just saying all this to take the agency away from his own shitty behavior. If he’s not a full on liar, then he’s a full on hypocrite.
And, frankly, when we get to the point where we see him visibly struggling and regretting his choices
I could not give two iotas of a shit about how bad he was feeling in that moment. My pity well had pretty much dried up at that point for him. Call me heartless if you want, but the only thing that was going through my mind in this moment was, “fucking good”
Because here’s the thing, the level of cruelty that Jax put Pomni through, to taunt, lie, deny, belittle, and poke at her most deepest insecurities, are all very conscious acts of malice. Cruelty, and I’m not talking about knee jerk reactions like yelling or hitting, I mean true cruelty takes actual effort. Jax deliberately went out of his way to callously put Pomni down so that he doesn’t have to face the reality that she was starting to actually like being around him. His cruelty was needless and irrational, and while I can sympathize with the fear of experiencing loss again, I don’t see that as the only driving force for it
People who experienced cruelty do have the power to not be cruel in turn
Or at the very least, learn to not spread that cruelty onto those that care about them
Jax is not a asshole who is secretly good, he’s an asshole who’s (not so) secretly scared
So, do I feel like Jax deserves to suffer alone for everything that he’s done? Well, that’s not something I wish on anyone, even someone as pathetic as him
But until he does anything to show me that he wants to actively change within the story, I’m not really gonna care about his whole pity party.

I haven’t seen anyone point this out, but hasn’t Jax been queerphobic towards Zooble in person as well? Like in addition to his fantasies??
In episode 7, when Zooble is enjoying themselves at the beach, Jax says "Aren't you supposed to be miserable about your inability to choose your own body?". Like, mans cannot handle seeing a queer person be happy. Additionally the fact that he sounded sarcastic/mocking? Jax seemed like he was ridiculing Zooble's struggles, and he was most definitely upset that Zooble was having a great time. That miserable ass rabbit cannot handle others not being as miserable as him.
That wasn't a game. You can clearly see it in his expression and body language. Jax would, without remorse, kill ragatha and shoot her corpse to a bloody pump because she said something triggering. He's the kind of man who would physically, lethally harm women because they reminded him of his own self-hatred. His villain speech at the end of episode 6 was fake not because he's secretly kind deep down, but because he's far more pathetic than he want to admit. He doesn't hurt people out of amusement but to protect his own ego. I genuinely hope this behavior get brought up again instead of the show going "well, ragatha and gangle are happy now so it's okay if pomni cozy up to jax and become his security blanket".
