Ben not seeing the love potion as malicious is actually so important to me. Because why would he think someone giving a love potion would have ill intentions for him? Sure, he's heard of the heroes horrific pasts but those are just stories of the ye ole' days the adults share. He's the result of the Happily Ever After, things like that don't happen anymore. All the evil-doers are put away. He believes all the Isle Kids have that same kind of experience. Of course he'd just think Mal was actually this shy girl who was too afraid to ask him out. He wants to see the best in her; he sees the best in everyone.
Mal, on the other hand, knows just how wrong it is. She never, ever corrects him on his assumption of her having a crush on him and being too afraid to ask him out. Because why would she want to do that? Making him understand the implications of a love potions just drags him into her world, into the Isle where stuff like that was always malicious.
Obviously I don't condone Mal's actions, and the implications of a potion that makes someone obsessed ("love") with another person is something from a fucking horror novel. I just think it makes sense (in-universe) that he'd never think that she had malicious intentions and that she would never want to tell him.
bridget showing up at auradon prep after like 40 years to stage a coup because she hasn't let anything go since she was in high school
Can’t leave the gang out without saying ily to the homies
come on, chase, i know my brother is still in there. where is he, chase? where is my brother?
i'm going to be honest with you all. i don't know if i can spend the next two or so years until d5 listening to everyone bending over backwards to theorise that ella and/or charming are secretly evil and pulled the prank on bridget. i really don't. i might blow up.
"but uliana couldn't have opened the book" it was probably morgie. y'know, the person who, according to the royals and villains book is desperate for uliana's validation and 'not the most liked' in his group. and thus the person uliana probably made open the book in the og timeline just incase it did fuck them up. "what if ella or charming were tricked by-" this is ella who would tell uliana to her face to get fucked and charming who thought it was impressive they "bested" uliana. in what world are they doing fuck all for her. "but ella was grounded and the prank didn't happen!" i don't know how to tell you this but ella being forbidden to go to the ball is actually the plot of cinderella.
To the people saying "Jason wouldn't have jumped into tartarus for Piper, like Percy did for Annabeth" as a way to demean him. Jason, plunged into the sky from the grand canyon to catch Piper in the first few pages of the lost hero without even knowing who she was, and without the knowledge that he could fly. so he basically jumped to his death attempting to catch her. In the first few pages of his journey, he didn't mind dying to save Piper, and ironically, that's also what he did in the last few pages of his journey. Y'all just be making the most out of pocket claims abt jason fr
One of my hottest takes is that I think the mystery and more specifically the transition from a casual mystery show to a more thrilling and serious one was done much better in Detentionaire compared to Mystery Incorporated
Thinking about Lab Rats as I often do. What would sleeping standing upright in their capsules do to their bodies after... what 20 years?? That can't be good for their knees. Did they have to sleep standing as babies, or did they transition when they got old enough? How did Donald train 2?3?4? year olds to sleep standing up? Did he strap them in until they could do it on their own??
why did Rick decide to make Jason’s story an entire tragedy
I gotta be honest, Jane is so beautiful that it distracts me from the plot. Like oh no, Mal looks stressed, I wonder--omg how are Jane's eyes that big and blue?
Aw, Carlos looks so nervous to ask out--shit her hair is so curly and dark and shiny.
Wait that's so cute! FG is happy for her daughter dating Carlos! That's--holy fucking shit she's so GORGEOUS WHAT.
There's crack in her beautiful eyes I swear
Anyway, it just always seemed hilarious to me that they gave Jane the "I'm not pretty enough" shtick because she's the actress/character who takes my breath away most often in the series. Classic teen movie makeover of an already beautiful girl.
Bonus adorable faces:
Anyway this has been a certified Women Are So Pretty post. See you next time on I've Taken Too Many Screenshots of These Movies.
