Somebody end me. Of course the official Jinx Figurine has the Loose Cannon wearing the Boy Savior's fucking jacket.
Of course the tft trailer has Jinx looking softly at Ekko for a split-second before looking away, and this time it is Ekko looking at Jinx with such warmth and admiration.
Somebody fucking push me off a goddamn cliff, I can't take this shit anymore.
every time someone comments “but lux—” on a ticktock edit of ekko and jinx, an angel punches that person in the face.
So I was listening to the MME music video and I noticed this in the extended verse
Sure that’s indirectly calling Jinx Ekko’s goddess but remember- Zaun’s main goddess is Janna, the god of fresh air
The lyrics are implying that Jinx isn’t just Ekko’s goddess but his breath and his salvation.
Y’all they’re on Twitter being ableist about Jinx and talking about how she “doesn’t have the mental capacity for a relationship” in order to justify their dislike of Timebomb and I-
Not liking Timebomb, or any ship involving Jinx, for whatever reason, is perfectly valid! Saying that Jinx, someone suffering from mental illness, doesn’t have the capacity to handle romance is very ignorant at best and extremely disrespectful and ableist at worst! No tea no shade, but come tf on. You don’t have to make up nonsense ableist reasons to justify your dislike of a ship ffs 🤦🏾♀️ 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
I don't know what writers thinking when they made Danny end up with Sam.
Seriously, this girl is so toxic that i could write an essay. Except that, she didn't have chemistry with Danny! Not even as friends!
Danny and Valerie, on the other hand, made so much sense. First of all, they actually had chemistry. They were the classic trope enemies to lovers. They had similar lives. They understood each other. And even when they were fighting, they acted like an old married couple. Valerie loved him for him and not the superhero he was like Sam who dumped him when he decided to be normal again.
Writers should show the reaction of Valerie when she learned the truth and they should made them endgame.
Valerie was way better as character. She had a backstory, we saw her difficult life and how she is trying to help her father. She is the villain Danny made and i love that.
Sam "i am different from the other girls" Manson is just being annoying.
Change my mind.
Jinx was holding her so soft here
so i just finished the duology……. GAHD THESE TWOOO PLS idk what to feel can somebody plss clear this out for me
MY SHAYLAAA 😭🙏
You should all watch the new timebomb music video and share my insanity, let’s all go crazy together ^v^
AND ANOTHER THING ABOUT THAT is that--what gets me about the Miles and Margo flirting vs not flirting debate is that I really think people are underestimating how annoyed Miles is with Gwen in this scene.
Bear with me. I'm not saying anyone's a horrible person, I'm saying this is a fun thing about his character.
Miles is annoyed with Gwen on the Spider Society tour.
And he has good reason to be! She's been brushing him and his questions off. Back in Mumbattan she said she should've "never come to see him." And he's finding out that she lied to him--for instance, about the "small elite strike force" actually being a huge society.
I feel like a lot of people don't notice it because he's not letting it show too obviously. I think he's trying to brush off his annoyance and keep a positive attitude, but it still shows in his actions. And in the script:
And, of course, the most obvious:
And I wanna pause before I get to the whole Miles-Margo flirting thing to take a step back: the reason why this is important to me is because Miles isn't stupid and Miles isn't an always-positive ray of sunshine. It's clear that at this point, he's clocked that Gwen is lying to him. And he realizes that she's treating him badly. He's not oblivious, he's just choosing to not pick a fight with her about it right then and there. Even then, he's not just rolling over and taking the bad treatment, he's just reacting to it in a more subtle way.
...Which brings me to the flirting.
Now, the LAST thing I want to imply is that Margo is a tool for Miles and Gwen to use. Those that know my blog know I love Margo. I think she's a great character in her own right, and she doesn't just exist as a plot point to further ghostflower's agenda--it's clear metatextually that this moment served at least partially to introduce her as a character that will be important next movie, as a member of the Spider-Band.
Even beyond that, I don't think Miles was faking his interest in her. I mean, we all saw his spider-sense go off, and I don't think it's just because "they're all spider-man." I believe they were both genuinely interested in each other and sparked a connection there.
That said.
I also believe Miles noticed how Gwen reacted to it. And maybe dug his heels in further than he would've otherwise, to get more of a reaction out of her.
I mean, we all know Miles is down bad for Gwen. If he hadn't been annoyed with her at the moment, I think he would've been a lot more receptive to "keeping moving" like she wanted to, simply because he's usually really attentive to her being upset. He tries to make her feel better. But this time, he doesn't. In the movie proper, he ignores her to keep talking with Margo. In the script, he literally physically follows Margo:
You guys see what I mean, right? It's the same as acting super invested in the anomalies right after Gwen claimed they weren't interesting. It's resisting Gwen and what she wants. Something he usually never does.
This! Is! Important! To! Me! Because I think it shows that Miles has a higher awareness and independence than people give him credit for in these scenes! He's not just running around enthusiastically, not knowing about the lion's den he's walking into. He knows something is up. He knows he's being treated unfairly. And he's not just forgiving it and letting it go--he's addressing it, in his own subtle way.
Anyway, I think that on the Gwen side of things, he's mostly annoyed at her because he feels she's devaluing their close relationship with the way she's acting (because she is). So flirting with Margo is kind of rubbing that exact same behavior back in Gwen's face.
And it works, because he gets a reaction out of Gwen that reinforces that she cares about their relationship--he annoys her. She literally yanks him away from Margo. And based on the way he reacts to that, I think he's pretty happy with that reaction. Because he forced Gwen to acknowledge that she cares about him and values their relationship like he does.
(most pixelated screenshot known to man but you get my point. anyway)
badass aunt + chaotic niece
i mean, irony is one way to put it…
yangchen’s denial + rationalization combo in this book is so hilarious to me. she’s like “wow, we argue just like a real couple. that’s because we’re such good actors, clearly 😎”
