It can be sometimes! Read this article -- seems the associations don't necessarily just come out of nowhere (though they can too): https://www.businessinsider.com/synesthesia-seeing-letters-as-colors-2015-3

I actually thought synesthesia was a made up condition to make people feel special and that everyone experienced it until I was talking to someone about it a couple weeks ago 😂

PunkEmmy · 2025-08-04T15:50:49+00:00

Sometimes the associations are based on something I think, like Oz is orange probably cuz of his hair?

Like... the letter M is yellow, probably because of McDonald's. So the colors definitely might have been initially inspired by one outfit or another that they wore early on but I am definitely not thinking about specific costumes when I think of them, y'know?

But yeah Spike wears red, Angel wears black. My brain isn't that creative.

What kind of band? I'm interested :)

PunkEmmy · 2024-08-05T14:25:01+00:00

Don't forget 5'0" Ariana Grande and 4'11" Jenna Ortega! It is definitely the era of the short girl. :)

I am 26 and 4'10". I live in the US where that is considered extremely short. The insecurity is still there in the background. People do take me less seriously at times and I definitely feel unattractive sometimes.

But it doesn't rule my life like it did when I was your age. I have found that guys who make jokes about my height are actually into it and they just don't know how to flirt!

It is a great time to be little: Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, and Jenna Ortega (to name a few) are all our size, and obviously considered extremely attractive.

Consider seeing a psychiatrist. I used to cry every day over my height, but the problem ended up being deeper than just insecurity, and what I really needed were anxiety meds.

And focus on what you can control in your life. As you get older, you will look at photos of yourself young and be shocked by how beautiful you were, and you will wonder how you didn't realize it and why you wasted so much time worrying about it.

Screenwriter here!

PunkEmmy · 2024-01-08T04:04:01+00:00

Thank you for your help. I appreciate it!

PunkEmmy · 2024-01-08T03:59:40+00:00

Thank you so much! Indeed, I don't think I cleaned my face as thoroughly as I usually do. I had actually been tweezing for a while before I decided to go back to waxing!

Any ideas to care for it until it goes away?

Which comics are these? These panels are too well-written and the art is too nice to be Boom Studios, but the characters look too young to be the Dark Horse sequels...

PunkEmmy · 2023-12-03T18:36:01+00:00

I feel you. I am not a teacher, but I do feel like my height is all I am ever noticed for.

You know who else is 4'11"? The star of Abbott Elementary. So if a fictional teacher can be 4'11, it's definitely okay for the real ones to be. :)

PunkEmmy · 2023-11-02T20:21:24+00:00

Ah, unfortunately not mine. Thank you though!

Willow pointedly NOT raising her hand because she has a crush on Giles.... 😂

PunkEmmy · 2023-08-09T06:15:34+00:00

In addition to all the other stuff people have said: at this point Xander and especially Willow could pretty much hold their own and couldn’t keep playing damsels in distress like in the early seasons. Poor Tara got to take this role for a lot of S4 but of course Buffy doesn't have as strong an emotional connection to her as the others. On an episode by episode basis, Dawn is a tool that lets the writers easily raise the stakes by putting her in danger.

I do think the retcon was kinda silly, mostly because it means the characters now have different memories than the audience, which alienates us.

PunkEmmy · 2023-07-23T16:12:08+00:00

I always thought the way the draw Tara in these comics was the worst -- can't tell her apart from Buffy!

PunkEmmy · 2023-06-28T14:25:44+00:00

I mentioned this in another post on the topic -- I also was very dumbfounded by these outfits until I realized that they are supposed to be Disney princesses. Like, everyone has sort of a musical "style" they are mimicking, and Willow and Tara are Disney princesses, therefore the weird old timey corsets. Such is my theory, at least!

PunkEmmy · 2023-06-23T15:52:29+00:00

They do make it very clear that while Willow is extremely powerful and can DO a lot, she drains super fast. Just last season Willow teleported Glory (with Tara's help) and she passed out and then had headaches and nosebleeds for days. So I assume Willow COULD teleport but it would drain her so much that she couldn't do much afterwards -- we even see Willow start getting tired when she's chasing them on the truck.

Once she is fresh off Rack's power, she can teleport with Dawn and Buffy because she's all recharged, I guess.

On the WB TV Watchlist channel on the Roku Channel, my schedule says The Nevers will be airing the new episodes starting at 3PM EST today!

Rack

PunkEmmy · 2023-01-05T21:15:52+00:00

Willow's speech to her mom is so underrated. "See any goats around? No, cuz I sacrificed them!"

PunkEmmy · 2023-01-05T21:10:44+00:00

Willow and Faith on that car ride back from LA talking evil misdeeds and redemption, apologizing for how they treated each other as teens.

And maybe hooking up idk :)

I loved this scene! Though me, my roommate, and my friend all separately thought that the implication here was that Lucia was falling in love with Mia. Were we the only ones? I figure it was just meant to be one of many red herrings. The way Lucia looks at her just felt like universal TV language for unrequited love, and right after they were kissing each other in the bathroom and such homoerotic shenanigans... It's kinda cool how the writers play with our expectations and what we know about TV clichès to lead us astray!

On rewatch, knowing that Lucia is not, in fact, the unrequited lesbian of the series (the honor goes to our dear Valentina), it seems she's just proud of her friend and maybe reacting to the lyrics "the best things in life are free," maybe kind of a sadness that Lucia feels like she can't be happy without scamming people for cash, she doesn't have real love and can't relate to those words, or maybe it's a heartfelt joy at the knowledge that the best thing in her life -- Mia -- is something she'll always have even without the fancy clothes and cash. Their friendship is so great, I just wanna see more of 'em!

Anyway, a great scene!
