The Best Bigslie Episode (Wordgirl)
not enough people talk about this episode. Lowkey, it’s the reason I got into the Bigslie ship and is one of my favorites of all time
Here’s my essay on why :P and sorry for all the pictures being so low quality!
I’ll write a bullet point list mkay we’re doing this in bullet points
I think this contradicts some other episodes where it’s implied she’s paid? Small detail, but still, I-
Leslie is working here for free
This is very important to me
Like, she’s choosing to do this and stay here
Also, yes, there’s an argument to be made that Mr. Big is a jerk, and yes he is but I choose to believe that this isn’t due to malice and more due to the fact that he is a moron
WHEN WORDGIRL FINDS HER SHE’S SO DEPRESSED- and not in a codependent kind of way imo, we’ve seen Leslie is perfectly fine on her own (Leslie Makes it Big comes to mind) and is more than able to take care of herself. She chose to do this and is perfectly capable and fine on her own but she’s still upSET because she cARES ABOUT HIM
Wordgirl: “Boy, you really do know him, don’t you?”
Leslie: “For better or for worse.”
How happy she is when he talks fondly about her my heart
MR BIG SOUNDS SO DELIGHTED WHEN HE FINDS OUT ITS HER HELING WORDGIRL LEGIT- he’s not even mad she was working with Wordgirl he’s just so DELIGHTED
Leslie gets so angry when they’re about to fight Mr. Big, he’s an idiot but he’s her idiot and y’all aren’t allowed to lay a finger on him
The big “Welcome back, Leslie!” and the biggol hug he gives her I’m crying sobbing shaking he’s so happy
THE SMILE AT THE END I NEVER NOTICED IT BEFORE NOW BUT LOOK AT THEM LOOK AT THEM MMMMMMMMMMMMMM 🥺🥺🥺
Bonus points for Mr. Big calling himself gorgeous and Leslie just agreeing with him
