Thoughts on the Aquarium/The Administrator? Any ships? Favorites?
Okay so the Aquarium is Bad. I don’t like it. They hurt Nessie. :( Medusa The Administrator reads to me as not at all genuine and also utterly dangerous. She puts me on edge. That being said, I’d totally be her puppet (but I think that’s a Me problem and not necessarily because she’s had any chance to be particularly charismatic). I’m also really excited to see what kind of havoc she’ll create and how McKayla is going to deal with her. Mothman seems utterly enamoured so I’m wondering if there’s going to be a scene where it’s The Administrator’s word against McKayla’s.
Personally, I love Barnes and Amos as a couple. They’re gay and in love and Mothman officiated their wedding and I think that’s awesome. I think McKayla and Titanium Violet would be a really interesting pair. There was definitely a dynamic between them that I enjoyed and I think it could develop into a really great romantic relationship. But also McKayla having a cryptid gf would go a long way to proving that every Zoo employee is a cryptid fucker. I feel like the bone demon probably fuck whoever you think he did. Honestly though, I’ve never been a huge shipper. I let the writers and other people present pairings and I usually decide wether I like the couple or not based on the writing. Additional weird ship that’ll never happen but I think is fun to consider: the Zoo and McKayla (by the Zoo I mean the entity of the Zoo itself and not, like, every employee and exhibit).
Favourites! (In no particular order)
Amos: A visually terrifying cricket man with so much love to give! He’s a gentle soul... :D/10 let him make friends!! Specifically with me. He seems like fun.
Normandy: On a mission. Determined. Resourceful. I’d kill for them. I’d die for them. Unfortunately they probably won’t notice me because I’m not Paige. :(
Titanium Violet: Cool and funky little cryptid blogger. I wanna go on a cryptid adventure with her. @Coni bring Titanium back so I have more material for the fanfic/daydream in my head lmao. She could be a tour guide at the zoo.
Mothman: Who doesn’t love Mothman? He’s cool. Also I feel like I could convince him to let me keep one of the lightning cats in the Zoo as a pet. He gets points off for being stupid and depending on his disaster triggered divination skills too much though. Please develop some critical thinking skills sir.
McKayla: She went from skeptic to crazy theorist with a cork board full of red string in .2 seconds. Disaster bi(?) icon. Also a big ass Mood. Even my mom likes her. (Yes, my mom follows the podcast. No, she is not caught up).
Dahlia Riddle (a.k.a. The Cambridge Cannibal): She’s a ruthless and unhinged academic and I think that’s very sexy and brave of her. I see myself in her story because I too hate being surrounded by men who belittle and dismiss my opinion and would like to summon a sexy demon to get rid of them.
The dude who runs the gourd stand: Bored by the paranormal, unaffected by the weird. He probably wouldn’t care if I experimented with the gourds on the cart.
Basically I love all the characters.
