"Under all the flirting and chaos, there’s a real sense of someone who used to be admired very openly and is now dealing with what it means to age, to feel less certain, to still want to be wanted. I find that genuinely interesting. She’s funny, yes, but the joke isn’t all there is.
And I also think people underrate how competent and caring she is because the disaster energy is so loud. She’s a good teacher. She notices things. She can be very perceptive when someone else is hurting."
"manuela is just SO much fun. i really love characters who are allowed to be kind of messy without the game acting like that makes them worthless or shallow. she’s a disaster, sure, but she’s also charming and capable and weirdly sweet in a lot of her supports. and honestly i think part of why she’s so endearing is that she feels a lot more human than some of the cast because of that. she’s not polished. she says the wrong thing, she wants attention, she gets insecure, she overdoes it sometimes. good!! that’s interesting!! also she and hanneman together are ridiculously entertaining every single time"
"felix is just one of those characters i can never be normal about tbh. he’s funny, he’s mean, he’s smarter than he wants to admit, and he has that very specific thing where half his character is basically “what if i was a huge bitch because i care too much actually.” which is catnip to me unfortunately. i also just really like how consistent he feels. even when he’s being difficult, even when he’s lashing out, it all tracks. you can always tell where it’s coming from. plus he has great chemistry with so much of the cast because he’s such a good friction character. put him in a room with almost anyone and something interesting will happen."
