I won’t stop reblogging/posting anything I do now, of course. That would just be silly.

WHEELER, MY BELOVED 😭

The short answer is I hate Barek and I hate Falacci lmao (and I am so sorry to anyone who likes them, but I have Opinions)

Long answer is 1) total sibling vibes. It gives big brother-younger sister teasing/antagonizing vibes and I absolutely love it. 2) I think they also just jive well together, have good chemistry. 3) Freckle baby is so pretty and I am so gay. 4) I think Mikey really benefitted from having a younger partner that he could kind of take under his wing and be a role model for. Like CI Mikey is a lot calmer than OG Mikey (though he still has his moments, of course) but I think that having a younger detective sort of looking up to him while also being more than capable of holding her own and having her voice heard was a really cool dynamic! 5) They were able to have fun together in the less serious moments!

Please see below some of my favorite moments (that I've giffed so far):

Ah that’s hard cuz it’s been awhile since I’ve watched season 1.

When we meet Penelope

When Penelope helps save Josie

The emotional leaving scene

And “Some people want to watch the world burn”

Omg I CAN’T CHOOSE A FAVORITE

But here’s some top contenders lol

And just these two photoshoots in general:

So many omg! Here we go:

1) Penelope cutting her hair at school and her moms freaking out is so funny to me, especially if Trini and Kim never actually told Penelope how Kim cut her hair back when she was in high school the same way, because when Penelope gets home that day from school with short hair, it hits Kim and Trini just how much they’re in for it with Penelope being just like Kim. And teenage Penelope doesn’t make it easy lol.

2) Trini’s the stricter parent out of the two of them, mainly because if she leaves Kim in charge for too long, things are bound to get messy. Plus baby Penelope had a pout that made both her moms give her anything she wanted. 

So one day Trini got home and walked through the front door to find Kimberly on the floor with toddler Penelope by her side with paint all over the floor around them. Kimberly claimed that Penelope gave her “the look” when they were painting on canvases which lead to Penelope getting paint all over the floor and playing with it and Kim finding it adorable. Trini thought Kim and Penelope covered in paint was adorable too, but she doesn’t tell Kim that, and makes her clean it up.

3) Kimberly has a favorite memory that she cherishes the most involving her wife and daughter. It had been a rough week for her, with the stress of work and their ranger duties, and she’d fallen back into her insecurities. The three of them had just finished dinner one night and it was Kimberly’s turn to wash the dishes. Penelope was five at the time and it was almost two years after they had adopted her. 

When Kim finished cleaning up that night she walked into the living room to find Trini on the couch with Penelope in her lap, softly telling their daughter a story and braiding her hair on the side, the way she used to wear it back in high school. Kimberly didn’t hear their whole conversation but at one point she heard Trini asking Penelope what she wanted to get Kimberly for her birthday (which was coming up soon) and Penelope smiling her little toothy grin before listing all the things she wanted to get her mom, most of them unrealistic options (like a pink puppy) but still adorable. 

They didn’t notice Kimberly in the doorway watching them with her own smile on her face and she wouldn’t dare interrupt them. Trini kissed Penelope on the cheek when she finished with her braids and only then did Kimberly make her presence known. And even now she hasn’t told either Trini or Penelope about the fact that she witnessed the entire thing, but she cherishes that memory deeply. Even on her bad days that memory reminds her just how much she loves her family. And as for her birthday, she got breakfast in bed from Trini and Penelope (pink waffles which was Penelope’s idea who seemed to have went crazy with the pink food dye) before the rest of her gifts that day.

4) I love the headcanon that Penelope kind of started off with similarities to her moms’ fashion sense when she was younger. So she definitely has some of Trini’s older bomber jackets and some of Kim’s leather ones. She obviously developed her own fashion sense as she got older but she still held onto some of her moms’ stuff and occasionally might wear some of it but she mostly keeps it safe in her closet so she doesn’t loose any of it.
