Alexa and Eleven/Jane's characters are similar since both girls have similar haircuts to each other and there is also the detail that Dylan and Rowan... also look alike 2 also because both are similar from my perspective because both girls also have best friends who are close to her and who are in her group of friends... since both Alexa and Eleven/Jane are Max and Katie's best friends 😘🤩

Also the scene from season 1 of Katie and Alexa's show where Katie and Alexa went to buy wigs... it also reminded me of the scene from the third season of the Stranger Things show when Eleven/Jane and Max went to the mall to buy wigs but also because their friendship is quite similar and also because they both have more than one friend (Alexa has Katie but also Reagan, Hannah, Cody, Ryan, Lucas, Jack... and also Gwenny while Eleven/Jane has Max but also Jonathan, Will, Nancy, Steve, Lucas, Dustin... and also Mike) and also because I love and adorable and tender friendship that they have with their friends because I liked seeing how Eleven tried to save Max from Vecna but... it was also because I also liked seeing how Katie shaved her head to support Alexa when she saw that she was losing her hair for her chemo but... also because I like how they take care of each other (Eleven/Jane and Max along with Katie and Alexa)💐🌺

But also because both Eleven/Jane and Alexa have a bully is bad with her who are Angela and Gwenny (although unlike Gwenny and Angela is that... Gwenny became friends with Alexa and Katie and stopped being mean to her unlike Angela who was cruel and evil with her)... although I admit that I like Gwenny more than Angela just for that although I really didn't like the scene in which Gwenny destroyed Alexa's wig😘🌸

And also because both Eleven/Jane and Alexa have amazing parents who care about them since Eleven/Jane has their adoptive parents and I like to see how Joyce and Hopper take care of her and love her very much... but I also love that Alexa also has loving parents and it is quite adorable and tender to see how Dave and Lori love and care about her... when Alexa had cancer but also because they both have sisters (Eleven/Jane has her brothers Jonathan and Will while Alexa has Lucas)💕🎄

There’s that one saying: sometimes, it takes a real man to be best girl. That’s what Jinshi did in this episode. He was so beautiful that it made the envoys lose their confidence in their own beauty. It was worth it as we finally get to see Jinshi crossdress—I’m sure everyone was waiting for that. It’s crazy how he shares none of the Emperor’s genes and it’s all Ah Duo’s genes.

Ooh, the "Planet of Hats" is one that I'm actively trying to avoid.

A lot of the species have stereotypes, but the characters don't usually fit those stereotypes 100%.

Even the species that are known for being all the same are all very different in personality. (TZ, hyperactively traumatized stuntman who's super sensitive; FU, dedicated medic and amazing surgeon who's ethics are sometimes questionable; Bravo, burnt out hero who's committed herself to a life of self destruction). Delphteans have the stereotype of being reckless, hyperactive, and mostly incapable of participating in Galactic society.

Another trope I'm kind of working against is the idea that a species without gender has to be all robots or all the same. Delphteans are all the same biological sex, but have a thorough and nuanced understanding of gender in the mammalian sense. They've fully adopted it into their society and it has affected their development as a society.

Hi there! Thanks for the ask!

There are lots of religions and generalized religious beliefs across the galaxy in the Moonlit Path.

Like, Aylans worship blood. For them it is the giver of life, bringer of change, source of healing, etc.

They are a species that have highly changeable genes and physiology based on being exposed to other's genes and blood is the most effective. Some are appointed (some consensually, some not) to give blood for the good of all. Due to how malleable they are, a common concern is being able to reproduce with their significant other since Aylans have thousands of possible biological sexes.

However, the changes brought on by the giving process is random and does have the chances of bringing in unfavorable traits. Prayers, rituals, and blessings surrounding the Giving process are common.

Another religion is the forced worship of the Parasite and Elites on Hirud. The point of Speakers is to evangelize about the benefits of joining them under the loving embrace of a bloodsucking metal bug under threat of being shredded into their constituent parts to feed such bloodsucking metal bugs. The Liberated, through their Liberation, are also forced to worship the Elites. Even Torque, who's not Liberated, is manipulated into seeing them as gods. (We see a bit of this in Friends Part 2 where he views his thoughts of Adelie as both heretical and righteous.)

Granted, the Elites' powers are quite godlike. Heightened Telempathy, ability to manipulate any aspect of the Parasite at their whim, and many other abilities (like Adelie's Other abilities or Liberation's power over the Liberated).
