Buongiorno e buona Pasqua a tutti.
Pochi sanno che questa parola, così antica e solenne, significa “passare oltre”. E già questo dovrebbe farci riflettere, perché passare oltre non è dimenticare, non è voltarsi dall’altra parte: è ripartire, è scegliere di non restare prigionieri di ciò che è stato.
È il concetto di rinascita che accomuna le tre grandi religioni monoteiste, eppure mentre oggi…
Animal recap!!! if anyone cares!!! Felix is an axolotl, Michelle is a roseate spoonbill, Fede is a pied ball python, Abby is a strawberry poison dart frog, Lily is a nurse shark.
THEIR DEAL BUT SUMMARIZED:
Felix
This guy genuinely believes he can single-handedly end homophobia and he is absolutely unhinged for it. Very woke. Very insane. Constantly gets in fist fights (I cannot emphasize enough how insane he is) He immigrated to Latin America when he was like 4, so Spanish was basically free DLC for him. Bilingual monarch or whatever the youth says now. Lives with his mom and sister because his dad is a piece of shit who deserves to stay off-screen
Michelle
My beautiful, surface-level girl. Has no actual hobbies. Has no defined “thing.” A social butterfly who fully dissolves the moment you remove her friend group from the room. Also God’s strongest soldier,I am so sorry your girlfriend (abby) has the most defeatist attitude towards your relationship surviving past next Tuesday for reasons totally unknown to me. No idea why that happens. Absolutely none.
Fede
The GOAT. Immigrated at like 12, so his adjustment era was rough, but he’s cracked at languages so he powered through. Anyway, hey man, ever think about how east asian ppl get feminized and babied for absolutely no reason? Yeah. Dysphoria incarnate. He absolutely rots on Reddit scrolling for passing tips, mods kill him
Abby
Girl-thing with the worst flags known to humanity. The USA flag is visual static to me. Anyway, she’s spent her whole life relocating because of her dad’s job and has never had a permanent home. It’d sure be a tragedy if she got stupidly attached to people here and realized she’s moving across the world again at the end of the school year and will lose them all. Good news about being violently nomadic: polyglot!
Also she has an evil half sister but I’m not opening that can of worms. I’m not.
Lily
boy if I were a teen girl I would NOT want “Mrs. Potato Head” to be my song
From the Ivory Coast and moved to Latam like two years ago in the current timeline and she is STILL not good at Spanish and it weighs on her so hard it’s actually devastating. Me and my dumb fucking bilingual friends rubbing it in my face they are not perma lost on everything that ever happens (except 4 michelle haha monolingual). She is overflowing with envy and honestly envy is a top-tier emotion to explore 2 me
And seriously, “Mrs. Potato Head” as her theme song with the moral being “I’m okay not being ‘pretty’ because I’m SMART :)” and THEN showing her literally making up words and smashing them together (estupléndido!)? The plot points are there for those with eyes to see it. Let her be happy.
