the sheer angst of knowing that if the balloon didn't pop glinda would have gone with elphaba instead of getting time to think about it during defying gravity, will forever haunt me and keeps me up at night 💚😭🩷

I've been listening to tatu - show me love obsessively in the past two days, I'm formulating a maxcar fic over it but it's only vibes and scene flashes that I'm getting up in the factory 😭

Students Karma Should've Been Seen With More!!

these are not all but def the ones I think should be seen w karma more, if not the main series, at least the side stories! I was digging up my priv tweets and found some more think pieces😋 thoughts under the cut!!

1. Isogai

It's already established that Isogai treats all his friends equally and I definitely believe he does the same to Karma being the first to talk to him, first to point out Karma's presence during the school assembly and first to stop the fight between him and Nagisa.

I also think since both of them excel in leadership, they would strategise assassinations together often

2. Kanzaki

Gamers. That's it. That's their dynamic. I also think it'll be funnier if Kanzaki is better than him in every way so Karma just ends up frustrated but he doesn't want to get mad because he wants to look chill but nah, he's doing all he can to win a match against Kanzaki especially in fps games.

Also since kanzaki is the best in Japanese and Karma's least fave subject is Japanese, I think when they teach each other during afternoon class, Karma would always take the opportunity to ask Kanzaki for tips a lot

3. Sugaya

Karma can draw and we saw it during the recap movie where he drew Korosensei on the blackboard so I think Sugaya and him sometimes share notebooks to doodle around while they talk, maybe they even have ocs where they would do art trades for

--

4. Fuwa

Come on, THE manga nerd besties. They will be huddled up behind class discussing their theories on the next chapter of the mangas they read and Karma even though he doesn't believe any of Fuwa's theory to be true, would entertain her thoughts anyway

--

5. Mimura

Karma stated that he watched Sonic Ninja solely for the director at first so I think it'll be fun if him and Mimura would talk about their fave cinematography in movies and works from different directors.

Maybe in the future Mimura would even consult karma when it comes to directing certain scenes to get his view as a spectator

sometimes, I just think of how Noah was jealous of Devon because of how close Devon was with Jane. So imagine his pain (that started at age eight btw) when he and Devon drift apart after his sister's death. The closeness that Devon had with Jane didn't even extend to her twin brother.

Not only did Noah think that Jane liked Devon over him, but Noah and Devon's fallout implements the idea in Noah's head that Devon also preferred Jane over him (we see this resentment over their failed friendship when he snaps at them at the party). Basically, in his mind, Noah was always second choice.

but! If you look at it from Devon's perspective, they didn't intend to hurt Noah in distancing themself; it can be seen as a coping mechanism with the "I avoided you because everytime I see you, I see her, and it hurts" type of thing, or the "I'm staying away to protect you, because I don't want another Marshall kid to die."

anywayyyyyy, the complexity of their relationship will always haunt me, because the rebuilding of their relationship also means they have to face their trauma. Devon has to face their fears surrounding Noah, and Noah has to confront his insecurities about himself and his self-worth.

geto as a high-functioning masking autistic person with a b&w moral compass who grows up ingesting the filth of this world, seeing first hand the all corruption and injustices and having to swallow it down day after day until he finally breaks one day and takes drastic measures and to burn the whole system down that never protected or defended the innocent and those that sacrificed their lives to protect humanity, including his own friends

Your honor, Ernesto De La Cruz was a closeted gay man. Why else would he be so shocked at Miguel claiming to be one of his descendants? Unless he was a gay man and only did it with men.

Not to mention, how a lot of Disney/Pixar villains are already queer coded.

He also acted like a scorned lover when Héctor chose Imelda over him and fame.
