idk if i'm really onto something here but buffy saying "it's a big, dumb girlie thing" to the scoobies vs buffy saying "a lot of sophisticated people go" to convince giles to go with her to the ice show is just !!!!

Old people who have like 5% knowledge of Pop culture are just hilarious to me. One lady pointed to two Pokemon and a spiny from Mario and said "I'd like those emojis please."

FOR THE PEOPLE. From an outsider’s point of view, it’s easy to look at Caitlyn and say that she’s the stereotypical image of high society, supports big business, and champions conservatism. She’s very close to the ‘typical Piltie’ in how she dresses (minus any augments that you might see on them) and to top it all off she has an upper-class accent.

But you don’t end up being a successful sheriff and (if we’re to go by old lore still) reduce the crime rate in the city to the lowest it’s ever been by being a figurehead for the wealthy. Caitlyn’s efforts in Piltover trickle into Zaun, because the cities are connected despite the surface trying to make them appear separate. Crimes that happen in one section of the metropolis have repercussions in the other, and Caitlyn’s area of expertise, which is finding missing objects and persons, will often lead her into the Zaunite districts of the city.

Caitlyn is no Robin Hood, undermining the system to give back to the marginalized, though. She still stands by the status quo, but instead of working against it to help the needy and unfortunate, she aims to bend it away from the red tape of the bureaucracy. Caitlyn’s ideal world is a form of pure capitalism, where business isn’t completely consumed by profit and greed. She knows this is an unrealistic objective, so she has to make do with what she gets. Again, she won’t be the most popular with Zaun and some districts of Piltover, but she isn’t concerned about her image being flawless, she’s focused on results.

see, like, missy has been a very touchy character in this regen?

she snogs the doctor, and constantly rests her arm around him/on his shoulder (outside st paul’s, and once she’s free on the plane, to name a few times), and just holding on to him for dear life when he kisses her in the graveyard. she wraps her arm around osgood. in s9, she reaches into clara’s personal space to make her have the vortex manipulator, and she sits very closely to the doctor in the ship.

getting into people’s personal spaces is a very quick and effective way to make them very uncomfortable, and she uses this to her advantage to scare osgood, and her just being nearby people makes them nervous.

the scene in which she reaches for the doctor (and to me she looks like she’s reaching to fix his coat, like in s8 with the unit/cybermen in the square scene),  he steps back, and it shows she wants to be near him and touch him for her own comfort, not to make him uncomfortable. she instantly stops, and freezes and looks down and laces her fingers together, kinda shakily. she doesn’t continue her attempt, which is something the old her might have done - stepping forward and not allowing a rejection in the first place.

12 recognizes, however, how much she needs that contact, but isn’t ready to give it. he’s not much of a hugging person, but he understands that she needs that from him, so he does what he can. her reaction to this, like she’s taking a breath, about to speak, is so fundamental. she knows he’s trying to help her too, but doesn’t know how to convey how much she needs it without embarrassing herself/acting ooc.

i feel that missy really needs that hug. she really, really needs it. even just from bill. she hasn’t really had physical contact with anyone in years, presumably, and that does things to a person whose character revolves a lot around it. she’s restraining herself so much.
