Miraculous is nuts cuz like it's adored by 4yos worldwide (because the first few seasons are as formulaic as it gets) so I always feel just a little embarrassed about wearing my t-shirt in public but then I go home and turn on season 6 and it's rapidly descending into a psychological horror featuring emotional warfare and sporadic scifi/fantasy representations of a bunch of random facets of our irl apocalypse and the hero/protagonist is gaslighting her boyfriend/partner/deuteragonist into questioning his very reality as she falls deeper into the pits of isolation and mental illness. The intended audience is God and anybody strong enough to buckle down and stay on the ride.

Max has been MVP of the team this entire season. No drama, no sass, he clocks in, does his job, and goes home!

FMA is fascinating because there aren't many works about what it means to be an atheist and a heretic to a god that you can not only see, but who has personally snatched body parts off of your living body and made fun of you for it.

They are having theological discussion in my notes but I think that people are too...divinity centric about Truth to make good interpretation of the situation.

Truth is a god in the way that gravity or magnetism is a god. He's just a manifested force of nature. He's sapient on some level, sure, which is a neat trick, but we managed to make meat think and we're not extraordinarily special about it either. He didn't invent humans and he didn't spawn the universe the way that Rose would have expected the god of her religion to have done; he has minimal to no interest in the day to day lives of any creature and only intervenes when someone actively wanders into his grip of influence. He's not a Capital-G God. Truth is to matter what fire is to flammable objects. He's a metaphorical (and perhaps even allegorical) chemical reaction.

Ed isn't an atheist because he saw god and cussed him out irl; Ed's an atheist because he doesn't believe that the brute force of Truth qualifies as a god. Quite frankly, I think that's a hell of a lot ballsier and a much more complete understanding of the situation. This perspective insulates him against idolizing the Truth as an ultimate divine force and makes Truth something that can be reasoned around or through, rather than with, which would never have worked.

Ed is a scientist. He's always worked with the Truth in some way, shape, or form, because the whole point of science is an attempt to pursue lower-case-t truth. Being able to see Truth's reflection in the mirror as he does doesn't really affect Ed's whole..everything.

Ya know, that's actually pretty smart. Especially after the London Special.

Paranoid? Tikki she only has the weight of the world on her shoulders, what about that could possibly be debilitating on a young mind?

I wanna talk more about all the new designs and outfits in a second post but I also want to commend the fight scene. I've been a tad underwhelmed by the fight scene's this seasons.

But Chat's one on one fight in particular really impressed me. They leaned hard into letting him move like an animal on the hunt, and actually catching and kicking the sword was crazy.

It does a really good job of showing that this is something Adrien has been doing for a while and has gotten GOOD at it.

I'm so fucking angry and sad about Starfleet Academy getting cancelled. I was disappointed enough that we would only get 4 or 5 10 episode seasons BUT LITTLE DID I KNOW WE WOULD ONLY GET TWO. I love SFA and it makes me so sad to watch it and all these other ST series get cancelled. Star Trek represents hope and that's exactly why they're trying to get rid of it. Discovery, Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, and Starfleet Academy, you all deserved so much better.

And to everyone who hated on it just because it was different than what you were used to, YOU are part of the problem. While ultimately Paramount just wants to get rid of anything progressive, Star Trek needed as much support as it could get. And you all discarded it because you couldn't accept change. Even though one of the main points of Star Trek IS LITERALLY EMBRACING CHANGE. At this point we'll be lucky if we get any Star Trek at all. I feel so bad for all the actors, writers, crew, and anyone else involved. I will forever mourn what we could've had. Starfleet Academy, you will be greatly missed 🖖.

some additional things I should've added in this post earlier: While I'm still mad at the haters, haters aren't new. FUCK YOU Paramount and all your conservative maga bullshit censorship. First they put Star Trek behind a paywall and now they want to cancel it. terrible.

In the bar.

love their dynamics

i’m extra emotional about s.a.m. today.

she existed for almost a year and spent that time building a life with her friends. they probably had inside jokes, shared meals, late night conversations. so, so much love.

and then she’s rebooted. not erased, not exactly. she keeps both sets of memories. and do we realize what that means? maybe they’ll explain it differently in the next episodes (like, her first set of memories was implanted only after she grew up or something), but from what they’ve shown us so far, the implications are so deep.

because that means she grows up knowing them.

can you imagine being five and already remembering your future best friends? being ten and knowing their voices, how they laugh? knowing that at seventeen you’ll walk back into starfleet academy and see them again, and for them it’s just a normal day after a couple of weeks?

there’s something devastating about that asymmetry. their reunion makes me tear up. she’s meeting them after a lifetime of waiting. she’s walking into a room at seventeen and seeing faces she’s known since before she learned to read. her entire life has been a countdown to this moment.

star trek's starfleet academy is definitely my comfort show right now. i love how it balances queer whimsy and intense science fiction
