People who get so heated about the toshiro-laois fight that they think toshiro genuinely hates laois are incredibly silly to me like. yes laois gets on his nerves and the fight came about because toshiro let a lot of annoyance simmer for a LONG time instead of expressing his feelings but once that tension resolves through their stupid fight he is able to see more clearly and realise he does not HATE laois, he ENVIES him. It just seems like such a blatantly obvious part of his character that people just can't grasp for some reason?? You don't hate someone and then talk to them about your unsaid feeling for his sister and give him a bell to ring if he needs you. You can dislike whatever characters you want but I can't stand when people mischaracterise characters to such a huge extent. Learn some basic media literacy.

there’s just something so intense abt being aroace and not knowing how to rant or talk abt it properly bc ur still coming to terms with it and what it’s like for you and what’s tied to it and what isn’t and then seeing riz be the physical manifestation of all the anxieties and concerns ive felt or am currently grappling with bc im aro and knowing i can’t rant abt it to my friends bc of what those struggles stand as and are and how a lot of it isn’t anxiety but just a truth i cant deny or run from so i js get to occasionally live vicariously through him instead once every week
Honestly, what particularly breaks my heart even more about Domi and her character is just the… almost thoughtless, lighthearted way Domi’s family are hurting her. Their treatment of her is depicted different from how bad families are normally depicted in media. Veronica and Antoine don’t seem to go out of their way to hurt Domi or put much effort into persecuting her, they just don’t really think of her at all until she happens to be there at the moment. In a way, it probably hurts Domi even more, the way she is completely invisible to them.
They don’t consciously ignore her or insult her - and it’s exactly these little, dismissive moments that hurt the most. For her siblings, Domi doesn’t even seem worth any kind of attention, whether positive or negative.
Louis may have been tossed aside and erased from the family tree, but their treatment of Domi isn’t much different except for the fact they at least acknowledge her as a De Sade.
And it’s something I just - well, appreciate seems like the wrong word, but these inconspicious kinds of abuse are rarely shown and properly adressed or taken seriously in media, they aren’t dramatic, grand moments that everyone from a mile away can recognize as abusive. Instead, they are quiet, almost blink-and-you-miss-it, yet just as much hurtful, and sometimes even more messy to deal with because it takes people so much longer to realize and recognize it as harmful.
And the perhaps lack of ‘malice’ with which the De Sade siblings treat Domi makes it just worse, the way they keep smashing and shattering her confidence without a single care in the world.
It’s a silent killer, one Domi had been suffering under for years.
felt like swapping their hairstyles

so like…this is 100% why ivy had That Reaction to fig disguised as lucy, right? it wasn’t that she saw through the disguise, she just saw her once dead friend now revived (like the rest of the party had already been) and thought lucy finally chose ankarna (chose them)
