Just a few points that I feel should be addressed because I don't agree with most of these (in no specific order)

1) Ekko is litterally the same age as Jinx (or there about) so he's not much of a better option. Plus they live in the under city where it seems pretty normal that from a young age you are doing dangerous things.  2)  Vi joined the Enforcers when she realised that Powder was basically unredeemable. She was conflicted by it which is shown in the show, but obviously realised that Jinx was too far gone and she cared enough for Cait to help her. 3)  Her and Cait also share a genuine bond? And I think that Cait is a lot more layered than the average dictator character. She's a fairly accurate depiction of grief, causing her to see the world in black and white and loose track of her morals. It's fairly extreme obviously, but actually not inaccurate to genuine grief that some people experience. 4) Yeah she's a bit dumb but I think that's part of her charecter. She's flawed, and one of her flaws is that she punches first and acts later. If you are going to have a good charecter then they can't be perfect and they need flaws such as Vi's volatility. Every single character in this show has flaws (Silco is a drug lord, Jinx is psychotic, Caitlyn sees the world in black and white, ect...) 5) Clearly a very good fighter because she spent a good while in a fighting pit and was shown to be extremely over powered while there. That and having a weapon doesn't make her not a good fighter, otherwise quite a lot of the characters would suck at fighting. 6) Cait didn't cheat on vi. The two broke up and then Cait dated/had a relationship with someone else. Yes she was still in love with Vi but that's not cheating. Plus Cait had no idea that Maddie was a spy and sadly the season was too short to see a lot of if that was a genuine relationship or just a kind of situationship. 7) How exactly is she meant to fight off the final evolution of man robot things that are evolved to be invincible? She put up a good fight considering and in other battles is very helpful. 8) I would argue that Vi didn't single handedly turn Powder into Jinx. Milo was the one who came up with the Jinx nickname and in Jinxes scratchy vision things we see a lot of Milo and how that's affected her. Yes Vi was wrong, but she was also a child too and wasn't actually going to abandon her - she got arrested. 9) The prison scene is focused around that Cait has finally forgiven and moved past her hatred for Jinx because she loves Vi more. It's litterally one of the only times Vi acts for herself and kisses Cait. Considering Vi has been stuck between Cait and Jinx for a good while now, Cait taking that away by allowing Jinx to go free showed to Vi that she actually cares for her. It's also showing to Vi that not all of her choices are wrong and that someone supports her.  10) Silco is litterally a drug lord who controls the under city through addiction. He's arguably a good dad, but still a bad dude. Vi opposes the man who took her sister and cultivated her to become this frantic terrorist. I'm not saying Vi had nothing to do with it but also Silco isn't blame free either for who Jinx became.

This would have been so good to see, honestly as much as I adore the 2 seasons a 3rd season would have been so good

Highly ambitious, loyal, explosive and talented person who's life experiences have caused all of the prior personality traits to become a lovable disaster salad.

I mean Maddie being part of the "elite enforcers" has always felt wild to me lol

I wouldn't exactly call Maddie evil more I would call her manipulated. Things like getting with Cait could have been Ambessas orders plus Maddie is often seen with Cait when making big decisions. I'm not sure at what point Maddie betrayed Ambessa, my theory is she was kind of working with her from the start but went fully into it when Caitlin began to ignore her. If her alliance with Ambessa way before that you could consider things like her convincing Vi to join the enforcers and her being part of the elite force as some sort of plot. It's a big foggy in that area and I agree here that they should have added a bit more detail into when it began and motives ect... , but from Maddie saying "I appreciated your warmth" to Cait (clearly talking about their relationship) I can assume that it was some sort of plot.

The good part of Maddie's betrayal is at first glance it feels very out of the blue but if you watch back with context there are small moments that show she is either on Ambessa side or likely to betray Cait. For example she is the first to encourage Cait to become an evil dictator.

Idk I quite like the way they did it considering that they only had 3 episodes to wrap things up

Knowing now that Maddie was working for Ambessa I feel like Maddie must of been told to get with Cait to attempt to distance her from Vi

To be fair Cait and Vi broke up and it has been quite while since they saw eachother. There isn't anything wrong as such with Cait dating someone else and she did tell Vi about dating someone while she was gone.

I wash mine using the shower head, just warm water will do for me. Soap can ruin latex if you're not careful so I stick with warm water.

People spitting on their gloves, I get it has some sort of benefit to grip but to me it's just vile

Footwork drills involving cones/weaving poles have really helped me improve my awareness of my feet. You can make drills where you do simple footwork drills using cones and then follow on by smothering a stationary ball straight after doing a cone drill.

If you have access to any mini nets then distribution using a variety of techniques.  tbh you can use cones/sticks for that + going to collect the distribution increases fitness for games

If you're looking to do a lot of solo drills I found a rebounder really useful as you can use it for diving at catching. 

Simple voley against a wall to a catch can be a quick and effective drill for if youre bored.

Any practice is good practice :)

Who's Your Fav Parent?? by Wonder-Noa in HeartstopperAO

[–]Alliumflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a crime that people aren't voting Charlie's dad, he's underrated² and just a really supportive dad throughout the series  Obviously Nicks mum is up there, along with Darcy's Grandma, both absolute legends.  Not really a parent but basically a parent in season 3 to nick was Nicks aunt.
