the death note musical is SOOO fun because it presents a universe were Lights sister genuinely could be more insane than him. She's cannonically a misa (the artist) fan and so IS A POP GIRLIE FAN! have you seen how insane Nicki Minaj or taylor swift fans are???? This is no hate to their fans at all, but also, a Misa fan girl would 100% be like pop girlie fans but WORSE. and thats the universe we deserve most honestly. Like lights plans are so boring but you know who's plans are fun? Sayu who is currently planning to sell her parents matress to pay for plane tickets to go see a Misa concert.

Iroh would jokingly refer to himself as bee keeping age and Zuko would have a heart attack because who incorectly taught his uncle these terms??? it was Toph.

Wanna know why I love avatar so much? Cuss the avatar really was the friends we made along the way. This isn’t some big deep dive into the morals of the show so be warned, it’s as surface deep as you can get but…

Being able to bend all 4 elements isn’t what the avatar is. The bending is just a physical representation of bringing those 4 clashing cultures together. Without Aang there is no reason for zuko, toph, katara or sokka to be friends. But because of him they are. They as representatives of their nations work with the last air bender (AND THE AVATAR!) to bring peace.

Because one man, one culture, cannot be the defining force in a universe. It’s just not true to reality. Sure some people helped more than others (the earth army was larger than the water tribes) but it was still a group effort. Everyone has to put effort in to keep their world at peace because every nation/ element plays a role in sustaining their life.

Honestly would love to write a fic about the avatar spirit dying/ disconnecting with humanity after aang gets stuck in the ice to further explore this idea but …. Im lazy.

Not enough praise is given to the actual animation during the seige of the north. The way once aang merges with the water spirit the only colour we see is the RED/ black water of the oasis (like the blood from Tui has stilled tainted it) and the water aang/La is pooling through the city.

The way all light just vanishes once Tui is killed. But also how fire bending forces light back into the world for just those few moments. It really brings in the theme of equality and fluidity in the boundaries of elements cuss both the moon/water tribe and the sun/fire nation in that moment are shown as bringers of light. Idk I think it’s just a really neat trick.

Another part is how only yues eyes are coloured in. Eyes are the windows into the soul/spirit blah blah blah she’s the moon spirit blah blah blah it’s a really cute detail.

Idk sometimes I feel like because it’s animation it’s very easy for some people to just…overlook the story telling aspects of it. Because it’s less detailed then a live action piece but I mean that’s just incorrect. The animation and the way they almost continuously use motion and fluidity in scenes (eg. People’s hair blowing in the wind, fire of water moving in the background, random side characters having lives outside the main narative) This then means that when still shots are used it’s all the more impactful. They rarely just do a still image with the screen ‘moving’ across like a lot of anime’s do UNLESS its a landscape/building their showing off. even then theres often something moving.

I tend to give a lot of (joking) criticism to season 1 for its weaker animation compared to the other seasons (I assume due to budget plus the animators becoming more accustomed to the style later on). But there are some moments that are just…breath taking. The care put into this series at all levels is something I don’t think I appreciate enough which sucks.

Light yagami is a hardcore santa believer. talk to the fucking hand if you disagree cuss you are WRONG.

That boy is running down the stairs in his little jammies and reindeer slippers waiting eagerly to be allowed to open his presents. He'll be in his 20's doing the same routine he did when he was 5. Has a stocking aswell! He's also super proud that he never got a clump of coal unlike some people (cough cough L cough cough)

Joy absolutely brought fabian a shit-ton of fabs during the summer as a joke on his nickname. He’d be like “I’m so hot” and bam 5 minuets later she’s shoving a fab ice lollie in his hand cuss she’s just so kind

“they tricked me, they both tricked me. I thought they liked me. all they wanted was the secrete, and i-i wouldn't tell them. I don't want to live forever” is one of the saddest lines said in this stupid show and I wont take critism. if I read that in a classic novel with my english teacher he’d be weeping tears and creaming over this stupid little quote because it hurts and the actor of Sarah who I cant rember the name off did SUCH a good job saying those lines I swear to god. like okay the acting in this show at times feels like a gcse performance but god damn when the acting's good its good 

Patricia and Alfie’s laundry room talk was one of the sweetest things in the show and I will stand by that. Two people, who are close and friends but arnt tight tight tight, and who normally mock each other to varying degrees just having a serious convocation and sharing advice on how to deal with trauma that they both have no idea how to process or deal with. Alfie isn’t pittying Patrica nor is she him it’s just mutual respect and understanding that ut sucks to be in this position. And like that’s just so lovely and pure to me? And like I know people ship them and honestly go for it they’d be cute but to me personally this scenes always jsut been platonic caring, especially when I was a kid and rarely saw a boy and a girl talking and being kind that wasn’t in some way relationship related. Just this show is beautiful when it comes to writing real characters and real friendships

the boys probs have bro nights and to those fools who arnt invited ( the girls) they probably think their like talking about girls and sport and just being stinky.  and I mean they’d be right they are being stinky and talking about girls, but their actually discussing the best way to force the girls into therapy because I'm pretty sure the only one who didn't get caught up in the sibuna shit was Mara and in the kindest way possible she isn't 100% okay and could definitely benefit from Therapy as well 

Patricia was a dick to Nina in the first few episodes and like don't get me wrong girl deserved to be pissed about Joy but DAMN going straight to “oh really your nan who took care of you after your parents died cares about you? you sure about that? because from what we see she packed your bags and sent you half way across the world” is such a girlboss move idk if it truly is her being a dick or her being deserving of ruling the world. 

anyway to ruin Alfie for me he defo listens to country music but its only when people on YouTube mash it with emo music and he listens to that constantly

do any of them have parents???? like I think amber has a dad and obviously Nina has her nan. Jerome has a dad I think and so does Eddie but where the fuck are their parents??? like the responsible ones? because if my kid returned home presumably having nightmares about a dead Egyptian god and or ghost or their friends dying...honestly id do nothing either. like its so unbelievable I'd probably assume its just them Larping to hard  shit are the parents good people for not calling out their kids weird roplaying habits? are the other kids who don't know what the weird kids with the whole curse shit are doing good people for not bullying them? because I know that if I did ANY of what they did I’d be bullied.

I mean they do go on a museum trip in touchstone of ra!

Touchstone of ra? More like touchstone of nah. My life is very happily existing it’s it little bubble where tor never even happened 😄😄

the most unrealistic thing about this show is the lack of field trips. like where’s the geography kids going to visit some random ass gardens in London that apparently have fancy plants but you went during winter because your schools thick as shit so all your seeing is dead grass? where's the drama kids being taken to a play for their GCSE only to realise taking 30 kids on a train who all think they know better then you and probably do is actually hell on earth?  wheres the history students going to the britihs mueseum and laughing over the naked statues ( aka the genetalia because teens are dumb) and whining that their feet hurt and buying way to much gift shop items for students who refuse to pay for food in the diner? like okay no I get not showing the first two ideas but for a show that literally revolves around a history time period them NEVER visiting a museum ( and no the display thing held in the library doesnt count) is such a pissy thing to do.  like imagine Fabian and Nina sneaking off to look at the egyptian part, Jerome and alfie trying to pretend to be art critics to pick up ladys b ut they accdentally start speaking to someone really smart and Jerome sorta hoes “oh shit...im into this please tell me more) and Alfie is pissed because ???? what no their meant to mock the posh twats who like this stuff together! and Patrica and Mara both trying to distract the teacher from realising their missing 2 studetns but for completely different reasons. Patrica because she knows why they’ve gone, mara because she thinks they’ve snuck off to make out and honestly ? ya girls proud of Fabian for finally getting a date that ISNT a picnick so shes willing to extend how long it takes for her to read each induvisual info plack. Mick is just trying to rember how to read and Amber is complaining about how the fashion is so cool why cant they focus on that instead 

They don't really explore Fabian being the only member of the original 3 in S3 at all. In fact, his character is reduced to background role for most episodes save for ones where they explore his dynamic with KT (one of the only saving graces of S3). The problem with the season as a whole is the original cast as a whole is wasted either by being reduced to romance subplots (Joy and Jerome especially who no longer are in the mystery) or reduced to one trait (Jealous Patricia and nerdy Fabian).

you know what your so right for this, honestly wouldn't be surprised if the goal of adding new characters to season 3 ( who I assume are all either first years or something similar because adding a whole cast of new last years is wild to me) was to create a setting for a possible season 4. cuss like obviously its set in a school so the cast can't stay the same forever and also the main cast was mainly young actors who probably don't wanna be tied down to a teens show for their entire possible career and stuff so new characters who clearly have a connection to the wider working plot makes sense. but no yeah as you rightfully mention because of this ( possible and probably inaccurate) setup I mentioned it causes the cast who stayed to become less relevant. their main character arcs have already been told in some ways, and whilst there are obviously more ways to go with a character sometimes its best not to. and like this ends up with, as you said, them becoming revolved around relationship drama that at times can feel really out of character? and also touch off the plot. its actually really interesting to delve into how both fantastic and utter crap this season is, and how sometimes those reasons intersect. and like obviously all the seasons had MAJOR issues, I don't want anyone to think I'm just hating on season 3 for no reason or because it changed the flow I just mainly remember me disliking season 3 as a kid and therefore obviously tend to criticise it more publicly I guess

alot of shipping drama is fixed with polyamory. so anyway hoa is a big polycule and when people try to explain it it sounds like a meme and not everyone's dating everyone but somehow their all linked. the teachers have a bet for who's dating who because some days they see Fabian and Nina walking through the halls with their hands linked, and the next they see Fabian and Mick hugging the hall way as Mick holds up a mirror behind Fabians back for Amber to use.  or like how Jerome is some days bugging Mara but clearly flirting with her, and the next he’s stealing Alfie's food and resting his feet in his lap.  oh and the whole no one ever being in their bed but whenever Victor can be asked to catch them he never finds the same 2 people sharing a bed

I think what really set hoa apart from other shows for me ( other then my kid brain thinking season one had 90 episodes) was that all the relationships felt real? and like not even the romantic ones the platonic ones especially.  like yeah some of the scene can come off as something out of a cheese romance fic but they can also come off as just them being friends and bonding? and especially bonding with people that they've known for ages but haven't really like connected with if that makes sense? and I think it really reminds me of my old classes where yeah we’d not talk but when it got to certain times ( like before an exam or a last day of school) where we’d all just band together and chat and laugh and be a group? that's what I see in the relationships shown on the screen.  but maybe that was also what was missing in season 3 for me at least, because it introduced a lot of new characters who didn't know anyone/ new a few people. with Nina and Eddie the show showed that the og house residence already knew these people so it felt like we with Nina were being introduced into their lives and becoming friends with them and forming the deep bonds they already had. and then with Eddie we still follow Nina sorta so its not as jarring as if the pov suddenly switched to Eddie for season 2 ( and I think it made Eddie being the protag in season 3 a much cleaner transition then it could have been).  but with season 3 there were a lot of new characters that didn’t have already formed dynamics. and to go from the tight knit group of season 2 to people leaving, relationship drama, old couples that we loved being replaced by the new people ( and that's not the characters fault nor is it exactly unrealistic but its jarring all the same if that makes sense) it feels odd. it feels like almost a season 1 relationship building style with a season 3 plot and at times it made the show harder to watch because it couldn't explore as many emotions without redoing them from Nina's time, and it couldn't explore as many plot dynamics because the bonds weren't as strong.

but like season 3? pretty good considering they lost their old protag and then also Amber. though I do with we saw Fabians struggle with both of them leaving more because like sabuna was the 3 of them to behind with, and to be the last of the founders must feel horrid. and then for Eddie to rightfully take the lead and Patricia to take his place as like the love interest to the lead it must have been awkward? idk maybe they did explore that its been years since I watched season 3 

trans Fabian is rotting my brain rn and its just ???? perfect.  him finding out his parents wrote him down a boy and being ecstatic and then realise oh shit I'm dorming with cisboy and panicking to the point he drags his massive suitcase all the way back to the gate in hopes of god randomly sending his parents back to pick him up ( they don't and victor ends up pissed at him and definitely makes a comment or two about him being a whimp but trudy is the girlboss she is and comforts him thinking he’s just homesick). Anyway he walks into his room finally and sees the man the myth the legend, Mick whos got sports gear everywhere and a massive Smile who rushes in to give him a hug because he's stoked about this to have a brother at this school and Fabian thinks for a moment that actually maybe this is going to go well. and it does go well because Micks epic and when he finds out Fabian is trans dude doesn't know what that means he just sorta goes “....we’re still roommates right?” because he couldn't care less what his friend is as long as Fabian is his friend.
