the best death note joke format will forever be L asking light a simple question in which logical answer A might increase the likelihood of light being kira and logical answer B similarly might increase the likelihood of light being kira and after a short internal struggle light comes up with answer Y, which no human being has ever thought of as being a normal response in all of living history

the "what are your pronouns" comic is my fave example.

problematic rage gap. one partner tries to bring nuance and understanding to a tough situation. the other wants to blow up the earth about it.

the first time you hear allison argent saying - “I freaked out like a girly girl. And I am not a girly girl", you just roll you eyes. its the early 2000s show. the fc is supposed to be 'not like other girls'. but then the show goes on and you see her family and then it clicks. its not just her wanting be different or pick me. its a deep ingrained conditioning that her family did to her. She is not supposed to be weak. She is supposed to be a the leader. she doesn't know that tho. all she knows is that her mother is strict and cold and her father very overprotective. They are raising her to be a cold and calculating matriarch that will lead the hunters. emotions have no place in that. that's why whenever there is scene of allison breaking down, she has to repress herself half way through, or if she breaks down completely she is ashamed of herself for doing that. just like after night school when she tells kate that she hated being powerless and scared and she didnt want to feel like that. when she first finds out about the existence of werewolves, her reality shifts and she breaks down and speeds up, and halfway crying tells the sherrif to write her a ticket cause even then she cant afford being this emotional and weak. When her mother pushes her to be tough, stating that girls who only worry about boyfriends and proms aren't strong. and she says "Can't I be strong and go to prom?". That's why she always insists on taking care of herself because that's what she's been taught to do. Even after she finds out that her family was in the wrong and her mother and aunt dies, even after being with her friends, she cant exactly let go of thay voice in her head that tells her that she cant be weak. The hallucination of her dead mother follows her. not to comfort her, but to yell at her to not be weak. And atlast my favorite scene. When she's in the elevator with the sherrif and she breaks down once again but this time she admits how scared she is and how powerless she feels and for once she gets comforted. maybe now she might be able to let go of the voice that tells her she cant be weak but then she dies.
