Enemies to Lovers is an ancient trope near and dear to my heart but lately I've begun to see the appeal in Enemies to Losers as well
Birders: do you ever wonder if this happens?

OR potentially violent deviants. Because humanity is a social species and we have a strong sense of normal/natural. So if behavior is not normal then its unpredictable thus dangerous.
You know what Good Omens does NOT get enough credit for? How it never, not once, makes gender presentation the butt of a joke.
Crowley presenting as female to be Warlock’s Nanny? The way this was filmed, acted, and written wasn’t made to be funny whatsoever. She was stunning, I loved the hat!
Pollution using they/them pronouns while the postman used the gender neutral honorific of sir for them? What’s there to make fun of? They’re royalty.
Archangel Michael, who has a traditionally male name, played by a female actress? Never questioned.
Lord Beelzebub’s androgyny? Only respect for the Lord of Hell.
Aziraphale sharing Madame Tracy’s body? Crowley recognized his angel and accepted it no problem. He was right about the dress too, it did suit him!
Crowley’s pure, unfiltered non-binary/gender-fluid energy in general? Fucking fabulous. Who could seriously make fun of this demon’s style? As someone once pointed out to me, you could swap him with Tilda Swinton and I’d see no difference. What an icon.
Good Omens is the first big show I’ve seen to basically avoid transphobia all together when the opportunity presented itself, and even say fuck you to the gender binary as a bonus. If the biggest binary in all the universe, Heaven and Hell, don’t give a damn about it then why should you?
THIS. THIS IS WHY V IS COOL AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH HIM
Still think that was one of the best ways to develop Vergil's character, nice move CAPCOM 😉
Guys i Know you loved V… I loved him too.
But you guys are not understanding what he is. He is not a wasted character… He is Vergil! It’s a side of Vergil that we could never have meet if he haven’t pushed to be separeted with the Yamato.
A side that himself forget. That is why V was mysterious and calm, because this parte of Vergil that was ignored by him, that he never payed to much attention because his life was rough and he did not had reason for it. Putting Everything that V was as something he just wated to get hid of, wich he actually did.
When V and “Urizen” are back together Vergil absorves all the feelings he had suppressed to the point of almost oblivion. Through the eyes of V he sees Dante it still that crazy guy and Nero as a decent person.
That is why he wants to fight Dante fairy, because his proud makes him desire a good fight with his rival/brother. A proud he losted when he created V. And that is why he thanks Nero, because the boy helped him found himself.
Nero helped V… Nero helped Vergil.
During the fight with Dante he says that Nero means nothing to him, but as soon as the battle stops the way his voice sounds unsure when he asks… “Nero’s my son?” Well he looks like he can’t belive unil once again he remembers the past/emotions that he had forgot?supressed even before creating V. Vergil actually stops for a while, and smile… Probabilly it was a happy memory.
The fight with Nero was to see if his son was like him, making the same mistakes, having the same doubts. Vergil lost because at that moment Nero’s motivation was the stronger one and at the same time he was trying to know his son.
For a Warrior like him the best way to know someone was through fight.
In the end Vergil already wannet to cut the stupid tree, and go straigh to the point to work with Dante like if was meant to be. Like it was a every day thing, he protected Nero from following him both punched the boy at the same time without talking, or looking at each other. They just had the conection back at full speed.
This is showed at the moment that he and Dante are being real brothers killing demons. And challenging each other without the intention of killing, only fight because Dante and Vergil like that… And they are seriously good at that. Maybe that’s what Dante always wannet him to see.
The poetry books that he leaves to Nero is like a promise that he will try to go back. Because Nero actually holds the books and he knows that will be a next time for him to see his father.
He is a brother, a father, he is a fucking Warrior.

The way this man describes the cake arc, specifically the wedding and Katakuri, is HILARIOUS, highly recommend you go watch it

And I am not talking about the content on this website… I am talking about the website itself, like from a technical standpoint…
for example: the Create Post window looks like this:
but when you zoom in 200% with your browser it suddenly changes to this?
and this window doesn’t just look different, it is miles ahead of the other one in every single way, for example this his the build in text editor:
yeah, you can change color and font without doing any HTML bullshit…
And the wildest thing… you’re not limited to one kind of post with this create post window…
You want to create a hybrid post that has pictures, text, a video and music? you can just do that no problem…
That's actually would be a great deconstruction of the trope.
And it will be soooo hilarious & dramatic!
Like, why they always go for a teenager? Because they are already old enough but still can be changed and formed into what the world needs them to be. That's the main idea. When you discover being the chosen one, The only one who can do it, you have to change your life, sometimes completely, sometimes change yourself too. And fast. For the Greater Good, yada, yada.
And now imagine some 40-50 yo have to do the same. So much drama and midlife crisis potential.
As I said
Hilarious
