i mean. i mean it could. sure. in some cultures. i mean. yeah, why does kissing have to be inherently romantic anyway? friends should be able to do that. sure. good point. i agree. but like. after seeing this all i can think is that geordi told him that after slipping up and kissing him once and then being embarrassed and not wanting to confront this ~thing~ between them just yet so he was like “uhhh yeah friends do that all the time”. that is the headcanon my little shipper brain has decided to go with and no one is taking it away from me.
bisexuality means the attraction to 2 or more genders. bisexuality is not inherently nbphobic. more than that, there are many nonbinary people who are also bisexual. stop telling them that they’re erasing their own gender identities with their sexuality. stop erasing nb bisexuals.
I keep seeing posts about Pacific Rim: the Musical and I’m getting really emotional about it because that movie just conceptually matches up so well to being a musical
like, you can have different people with their own musical motifs BUT you show Drift-compatibility with like, duets and trios and people singing together, their voices matching each other and harmonizing
the wei triplets and the kaidonovskys showcase this beautifully where they can trade and blend individual motifs in gorgeous and creative ways and it all flows and creates something new and representative of the bond they share
(can you imagine, hermann and newt would sound really dissonant as fuck constantly screaming at each other 90% of the time, but every once in a while they would have weird crescendoing meshing within arguments before it dissolves again, blink-and-you’d-miss-it fast, which makes their Hong Kong street scene SO COOL because it ALL COMES TOGETHER after these little glimpses)
every once in a while characters like mako and stacker or herc and stacker match up too, despite never mentioning drift-compatibility! chuck and stacker harmonize in a weird way where they never actually fully change out of their character motifs but it WORKS
oh god every once in a while you can tell that chuck’s motif sounds like his dad’s, just a little, just enough
KAIJU AND JAEGER PUPPETRY (a la The Lion King) THAT REQUIRES LIKE TWO DOZEN PEOPLE EACH TO OPERATE

great lighting design, especially when it comes to the Anteverse and the Drift
