happy unholy alliance day!!
i made a whiteboard with my friends and obviously almost everything i drew was cotl related (ft. a little "TvNauta" that slipped in the screenshot)
leshy what the fuck
So I was rewatching “Lake Lilac summer social” because… Well, Youtube recommended it and whatever. And I noticed a couple of interactions between David and Gwen that I absolutely loved.
First of all, how concerned David is because of Gwen’s shipping lol:
Then how he knows Gwen’s matchmaking is dangerous and realizes how it’s like not to be in control of what they’re doing, the last part mostly when he realizes what it’s like to be the “level headed counselor”:
Then David just KNOWS she’s gone too far and he HAS to stop her:
At the end of the night he’s just had enough of Gwen’s nonsense. This part is my personal favorite because normally you don’t expect David to be the voice of reason instead of “Mr. Sunshine I Don’t Know What’s Going On”:
Finally, David gets his opportunity to laugh at Gwen for trying to control the lives of the campers:
Hehe…
“Oh Gwen, this is what you get for being impolite and getting involved in camper’s activities. I hope you learnt the lesson.”
I love their interactions because it’s just David and Gwen being twenty year olds in a kid’s party because there are no alternatives. Ha.
If you didnt believe Laios was autistic before todays episode i hope it clears that up for you
we were first shown his special interest, a very autistic trait to have. We get to see him indulge in his interest, we get to see him happy.
but this episode contains the scene that makes it clear Laios cannot understand social cues, tone of voice, sarcasm, or subtlety. He actively suffers socially with other humans.
Shuro is pissed Laios didnt pick up on the fact that he hated Laios, because he was being passive aggressive (at best, Shuro bottled up a lot of feelings), and said verbally he was Laios' friend. Laios takes things at face value, if someone says "im your friend" that's what he believes is true.
He hates that Laios "gets to be genuine". I hate the way he says that "gets" as if its a privilege for Laios. It's a privilege for Shuro who is nobility and has his behavior and emotions stifled. Laios doesnt understand that others are NOT genuine. he's not from that world.
that's why Laios asks "why didnt you TELL me?" and Shuro says it should have been obvious.
it was NOT obvious to Laios, not at all.
And also, that was who Laios thought was his FIRST friend on the island. he thought he made a friend, something actively difficult for him to do.
it devastated him to learn that he was wrong the entire time.
Abajo el speedpaint y otra versión
Me encanta que se puede apreciar el momento en el que la idea silly se convirtio en la razon de la migraña de hoy :P
The fight between Laios and Shuro ending with Shuro reminiscing/fantasizing about Falin really did a great job of mirroring what happens in the real world with Autistic Men vs Autistic Women. In my mind, both Laios and Falin are autism coded, and Shuro fights with Laios over how much he hates the autistic traits that Laios has and how annoying he finds them, then immediately goes on to explain he thinks Falin is the most unique woman he's ever met and loves how her mind works. Autistic men are so often thought/depicted of as annoying/cringy/etc while Autistic women are often thought of/depicted as the manic pixie dream girl or the 'not like other girls' girl. It was such an interesting thing to have back to back, cause it really went 'whoa society do think like that so often'.
El Bentley es la original hija de un matrimonio divorciado
The best little fanon thing they confirmed for me was making the Bentley a little pet. Cause in the book it’s just a one off joke about how the CDs turn into queen if you leave them in A car long enough but it’s like no…the Bentley loves aziraphale and gives him sweets and plays whatever he wants and turns yellow for him and parks where he tell it to and plays “a nightingale sang in Berkeley square” when crowley is heartbroken and plays “good old fashioned lover boy” when crowley is racing back to help aziraphale. And crowley coos to it like it’s a puppy. Love that car
