because otherwise it gets kind of visually confusing to parse, which is annoying to some folks, including me

GRANTED not everybody uses the same theme or even the same update. you might have noticed my version of tumblr is earlier than yours (I don't like the new button setup)

but still, it's just about being polite

Original post

There are no "exact color" of pride flags.

I see more and more sites and posts talking about the exact hex codes for the lesbian flag, or the right purple for the ace one, and how it should be more or less saturated and I just want to say: pride flags were meant to be sewn in your kitchen. To be spraypainted and to be recognised.

Isn't she lovely? Isn't she wonderful? Isn't she precious? Less than one minute old I never thought through love, we'd be Making one as lovely as she But isn't she lovely? Made from love

and the fact that it plays at the end of her life, when she passes the point of no return

when, in her final moments, she allows herself to be accepted and forgiven after years of pushing people away and self-isolating

when she allows her vulnerability and femininity to be seen not as a point of weakness, but a gift that makes her understood and loveable

although it's devastating, there is tragic beauty in that hug with pomni, where jax lets a small part of herself -- the inner little girl who never got to exist -- be born and realized. through an act of love.

Conversely, if you understand TADC as a story to take every single aspect, moment, outcome, and detail totally literally rather than in tandem with the thematic signficance it communicates. Or were looking for a more lore-driven story. Or were hoping for a more rounded exploration of its world and characters, a hollistic dive into the premise it sets up rather than a story barreling towards a specific end goal/a very pointed thematic stance. You're gonna end up disappointed with what you got.

And this is not a moral judgement, I don't think any expectation is at all more correct than another. I actually think my last point is probably even the most fair stance to have. Especially if you don't engage with any secondary material and just look at the show itself, since it doesn't totally establish Jax as a core focus until later in its run. Some storylines do feel very sidelined.
