Wooly is an enabler. He might not be the one directly hurting Amanda/Rebecca but he keeps sabotaging her and helping Hameln control her. He actively discourages her from going against rules, he tries to railroad her. He gets annoyed when she doesn't act like the compliant little puppet Hameln would want her to be.
I think nothing demonstrates how little Wooly actually cares about Amanda as opposed to the "role" she's supposed to play than the "When You Feel Bad" tape.
Amanda is down in the dumps, so Wooly, nervous because the show needs a protag to do stuff and he's the sidekick so he can't fill that role, keeps trying to get her to go on any sort of adventure even when Amanda makes it clear she just wants to be left alone.
When Wooly tells his little knight and princess story he doesn't really care that Amanda doesn't like it, even gets snippy and dismissive of her when she tells him this story is doing nothing to lift her spirits. At the end of the story Amanda still feels bad, but Wooly doesn't even acknowledge that.
When Riley tells the story Amanda wants to hear, Wooly again gets pissy and demands Riley tell his story, even though Amanda is visibly happier with Riley making stuff up. Notice how in Riley's re-write, we have a narrator telling the story instead of Wooly. I think that's Sam. Wooly realizes Riley is steering Amanda away from Hameln and towards her former memories as Rebecca by invoking Sam. And he doesn't like that.
So long story short, Wooly isn't Amanda's friend. He's her Hameln-assigned handler. He could care less about her feelings as long as she does as she's told.
I always forget about the term rose (as in, the shortening of romantic-sexual) and it's such a good term. Allorose is such a good term to make it clear that you're talking about only people who are both alloromantic and allosexual, and not talking about other tertiary ways of being allo, and all the rose labels, like grayrose and demirose, are so cool and convenient too. And their flags are so good! I love the blue-green. Anyway. Just a reminder that rose exists and it's a cool word and we should use it even more.

Are people aware that the Bachelor's quoting of Latin is a very common part of the academic field? With all those posts calling him pretentious for Latin, I can't be too sure. The difference is that, today, Latin is not necessarily the academic standard when it comes to terminology and so readers can find Latin phrases mixed with German, French, Russian (etc.), too - depending on the subject.
I pulled a random article on Italian futurism and it uses the terms/phrases unheimlichkeit, homo faber, il linguaggio nascosto della tecnologia (so on, so forth). It becomes natural to the essay's conversation (in this case, futurism).
The Western academic world, for centuries, was fed off Roman stories and for most of the Western world's past, Latin was the predominant "intellectual" language until French became the status quo, and now it's English. So when it comes to studying in a certain era, not knowing Latin might bar a person from scholarly work.
Someone who spoke and wrote in Latin very prolifically was Thomas De Quincey (Englishman early, mid-1800s), and he wrote a few short stories. One of which, he's sitting with a coachman and speaks a Latin phrase in passing and then immediately strikes himself as silly because the working class coachman probably doesn't understand him.
Just one example of many where Daniil is clearly expressed as someone completely out of their usual, personally comfortable social circle. Sometimes one language just doesn't cut it for the description of things, but now an avenue of regular expression has been completely shut off from him.
Though I wonder if he uses Latin with general abandon in the town, is mostly speaking to himself when he uses Latin, or if, like De Quincey, is going you fucking fool, he doesn't understand you!
All clones deserve a thank you. Too many people take their efforts for granted (even they themselves think this way) 😞
In the last panel, Fox hesitated when he heard the thanks, but he was really touched…🥺 (The four-panel comic can't quite express that feeling.)
Can you imagine how the clones' speech patterns change once they are out of Kamino? Not just the slang they use, but in general how they speak. At some point you can start to differ the different battalions based on their speech. This is even more notable when it comes to the Commanders or other clones who deal more closely with their generals. Rex is distraught when he realises that he sounds like a teenager. Cody just proceeds to sound even more like a wisened old Commander despite being the middle child. Fox sounds like a tired retail manager trying to calm down a Karen.
This is their dynamic to me
