#metas

Nightwing gets thrown from a roof during a fight and flies safely down to the ground, acting like he'd caught himself with his grappling line.

Red Hood insists that he's fine, despite those around him clearly hearing his bones snap and seeing his limbs get bent and twisted in ways that would one hundred percent cause serious injuries to anyone else. Strangely enough, x rays and other tests always show that he's fully healed, no matter how bad the initial injury was.

Cass slips into and out of shadows, blending in eerily well. People think that it's just training and talent, but others swear she's appeared in fully locked and sealed rooms, vanished without any available escape route, and snuck up on powerful metas despite their extremely heightened senses.

I love that Buffy and Spike’s last meaningful scene before Buffy’s sacrifice, and their first scene after she was resurrected, happened at the exact same place: in the stairs, at the Summers’ house. Everything is the same, and yet, everything is different. She’s now one step closer to him. 👀

In terms of symbolism, if we want to add some poetry to all of this: in The Gift, she’s going upstairs, leaving him while she’s “ascending” to another place. But in Afterlife, she’s descending the stairs, coming back from “that place”, and gravitating slowly but definitely towards him.

It’s also worth noting that in The Gift, Buffy tells him she’s counting on him to protect Dawn (despite her disagreement with Giles on how she might have to sacrifice her sister, she knows Spike will be on her side, it goes without saying). And in Afterlife, one of the first things she sees after coming back to life is Spike yelling at Dawn for running away, out of his sight, proving that he actually respected his promise to protect her.

It’s the beauty ideal in China. I have naturally curly hair inherited from my mother, and instead of being taught how to bring out my curls at the hairdresser, my hair is “frizzy,” and I get pushed into getting a straight perm.

My mom, likewise, has always hated her curly hair and was dismayed (dismayed!) when my hormones caused my hair texture to change from straight to her curls.

For two, the idea of Shen Qingqiu adoring it would fix me, I’m sure.

Your insecurity is something he adores about you. He makes poetry likening it to sheep’s wool, he runs his hands through it and helps you maintain it. Something most people consider a flaw, and that doesn’t even occur to him.

It’s so radical. It comes naturally to him!

Si tenés claro el objetivo, comunicándolo con el contexto.
