#bunn talks

is this the right? Yeah? Okay-

I'm here again, back with my deranged ramblings!

Today I wanna talk about Nya, not a surprise but I wanna talk about a specific timeframe of her's which is Season 3.

I find early seasons Nya both frustrating and fun because of her general lack of characterization. It's aggravating in the sense that she doesn't really get treated as a character because of being the Girl but it's also fun to take all the little details and try and build a narrative out of that.

That being said let's talk about the infamous Love Triangle!

So this thing is a mess. That's obvious and Nya is a big part of that. We've never seen her interact with Cole before this so her feelings very much feel out of the blue. Why is that? Well there's actually a simple answer to that: she doesn't actually have feelings for him.

We see early in the season that the relationship between Jaya is kinda iffy. While it isn't big there's clearly at least some troubles and it isn't perfect. It seems relatively standard but it is setup for the start of why Nya ends up acting the way she does.

Jay: Hi, Miss Nya. I saved you some pudding. Nya: What did we talk about? Jay: Oh, right. Boundaries.

I do want to state that I fully believe they are together in a semi-official sense. When others talk about them it's as if they're boyfriend and girlfriend, and they talk about each other like they are. It's also important that Nya does like Jay back, the prime example I can think of is the expression she makes when one of the students mentions the idea of Jay being her "Perfect Match".

Like- come on it couldn't be more obvious.

Back on topic: if she does like Jay and I just said that she doesn't like Cole then why does she have so much conflict about it? The answer is that Jay is probably her first relationship.

Nya is a curious person and considering there have been some issues in her relationship, and this is most likely the only romantic relationship she's been in, she probably has doubts. So when she's straight up told Cole is her "perfect match" that probably makes her start to wonder and idealize the idea of what being with other people could be like. This becomes especially obvious when one of the main reasons she lists for liking Cole is that he "isn't Jay". In fact, this is repeated within the season itself!

Nya: Am I that obvious? What do I do? Jay's the only one who makes me laugh, but Cole...Cole's not Jay.

S3 Episode 2

Nya: Seriously? A blue or black wire. I have to cut one of these wires to shut it down, but cut the wrong one and it may crush you guys instantly! Jay: Ooh, choose blue, Nya! You know blue! You're comfortable with blue! Cole: Choose black! Black is not blue!

S3 Episode 3

(These are just off the top of my head there might be more examples but I can't remember them atm)

So this makes me believe that her feelings of Cole are more so a projection of her curiosity and craving for something different and new. Especially since Cole seems like the opposite of Jay in a lot of ways so naturally she would fully lean into that idea.

All of this is subconscious meaning Nya doesn't know this which is why she has such a hard time with it. She hates this entire situation and definitely would prefer it to be over sooner rather than later. Visually Nya constantly looks stressed and avoids talking about it because she doesn't know how to solve it and Nya isn't the best in terms of handling her own feelings.

There we go, my little analysis as to the how and the why of the S3 love triangle on Nya's side!!

So, during dinner, I brought up the idea of dying my hair dark blue, and my dad disagreed with it, saying that "it's stupid".

So me, being the detail-begging man, I pestered him why. Like I demanded why he think "guys dying their hair is stupid". I wanted a reason. I wanted details.

Cause, ya know, "it's stupid" ain't going to float in my book.

So I challenged him, and he gave me the reasonings, being that back in his day, people didn't do that stuff.

Fair. I'll take that answer more than "it's stupid".

What did I do next? I told him about the new generation; how we push and change social, gender, and political norms. We see a problem and we try to fix it, we push for new ideas and concepts, we take what's given and make it better , all meaning that there's going to be change. As for the old generation, if they can't accept change, they bicker about it and degrade our actions in anyway possible so that their comfort bubble won't be disturbed.

Then he asked me something interesting, "Some of these issues have been around for many years. Why the sudden spike in revialism?"

Technology, my dude.

Back in the day, news would take days or weeks to get from one place to another, cause the only form of communication was through mouth or paper and pencil. Today, I can hear what's going on in Florida or China or France by tapping on a screen.

When all of these horrible shootings occurred, I heard details about them within minutes of things bring spoken or things happening.
