1) Ha ha, oh, Robin. Oh, you! (Please read the preceding lines with fondness, not sarcasm. Thank you! --The Management.) I'm just kind of completely delighted that Robin got Amber pregnant. To be fair, I think we all sort of knew that would happen. (That said, this is one of those cases where it's a good thing this is a comic in a world where a mild degree of sociopathy is expected of people, because oh, dang, I would be so mad IRL if I were in Amber's sitch, and I can't fault her for being angry at Robin! Like, even if Amber's happy to be pregnant and even though she totally wants to have this baby with Mike (AMBER/MIKE BABIES) (WHAT IF IT'S TWINS) (WHAT IF THEY'RE BOTH GIRLS) (AHHHHH!) (save me from... myself...), it just ain't cool to fuck with a girl's birth control! Even if you, like Robin, have no idea what Amber's birth control looks like or how it operates even though it's probably clearly labeled. Okay, actually, I think Amber and Mike are going to do GREAT as parents, because face it, in many ways Robin is like a five year old. A very tall five year old with a major sugar problem. And now they know to lock their medications up high where the baby can't reach 'em and replace them with mints!)
Anyway, L-O-V-E Mike in the first panel, ugh, so uncertain but also in love with and supportive of Amber who's still elated but also kind of like, wait, but how? Ethan omgggg, HER BEST FRIEND, immediately dropping all his shit with Drew to be happy for her. Amberrrrr, AMBER, AMBER, AMBER, I love her so much, y'all; she is my favorite. She and Ethan are my favorites. I love her face. I love how even her irritation at Robin is tempered by the shotgun burst of joy that's overriding everything else for her rn. I love that even though she's elated, she's also clear-headed enough to recognize how weird this is and to get answers out of Robin! Ugh, I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS STORYLINE. I want to have babies with this storyline. That seems the most thematically appropriate to me.
I love Malaya, and I love her for the very things people seem to hate her (she's rude, she's mean, and she doesn't seem to think well of many people), but girl, there is a time and a place for certain comments, and when two people are very excited if confused about having a baby, it's maybe not appropriate to express disdain of their excitement in front of them. So, I'm also excited for the potential fallout between Leslie and Malaya and what and how Malaya might grow as a result. Character growth is fun! Let's do more of that. That seems like good times to me.
2) If you follow me on tumblr (if you do: God help you), you already know this, but if you don't follow me on tumblr, well, you don't know: I'm sort of taking a break from tumblr for at least a week. The thing is I spend way too much time on the internet, doing absolutely nothing, and I think with my depression and my anxiety and my what-all being what they are I need to stay if not physically active then mentally active; so much of what I do on tumblr is or feels passive, and it's wearing me out a little. Plus: I feel like I'm cranky more often than not when I'm talking with people on tumblr, which is less an issue with the site itself and more an issue with some of the people who use the site, and ofc as we all know I am incapable of disengaging from an argument even when it's increasingly obvious the only real result will be me, angrily chomping on some ice cream at two in the morning. IDK. I want to be happier! There's a compromise somewhere, a way I can use tumblr and still be a productive, happy person, but that's something I've still got to figure out. For now, I'm all about this Stayfocusd app on Google Chrome. Teach me self-control, internet!
3) I'm so behind on my kdrama watching, it's awful. I have six episodes left of Scent of a Woman, I'm eight episodes behind on Protect the Boss (w-whoops), and Poseidon starts this week. Help! How do I watch TV!
4) There is no number four because I am boring; I am so boring; my entire life is boring. I am bored just thinking of it! Enough already.
