watching/rewatching a show when you already have an established favorite character is great because every time they come on screen it's like

Watching Hunter X Hunter for the first time and I totally forgot that that this isn’t a fantasy setting and technology just exists. We spend the whole exam arc in a series of different uninhabited forests and then the second they graduate Kurapika suggests they just google where Killua lives
Palace attendant: The Queen of Hearts has declared a coup at Auradon Prep. King Benjamin: Does... does she know what a coup is? King Benjamin: Auradon Prep is a high school. King Benjamin: That's like going to the Grocery Store, barricading the door, and declaring yourself the Mayor.
You know, I've seen plenty of comments about "Descendants should have been a young adult TV series!" and... I dunno how I feel about that.
Are there concepts that could use exploring much better geared towards an older audience? Sure.
But would it be the same without silly costumes, brightly-colored hair, stupid (affectionate) songs and teenage drama? All of which I doubt would be allowed in a grimdark teenage action/fantasy series like a bunch of us keep wanting? I doubt that.
I think it being a DCOM is a genuine part of its charm, and if it had become something like Shadowhunters, Once Upon a Time or Fate or even just something that would run on Freeform, all the fun would have been drained out of it.
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.

there is some rhetorical term to describe ashihara's decision to make suwa a prominent figure for osamu's journey at the beginning of both the rank war and the away mission test arcs...
like even though suwa is playing seemingly opposite roles (an opponent in the rank wars, an ally in the away mission test), he's ultimately serving the same role in the narrative: he's helping osamu grow as an agent and as a captain.
in the rank wars, he (along with arafune) was osamu's first rank war opponent. rhetorically speaking, he was there to kickstart osamu's journey into team-strategy.
then in the away-mission, he was the captain of the squad osamu was assigned to -- serving as a guide for osamu to learn the mechanics of an away-mission/learning how to work with agents he's unfamiliar with/even acting as a role model with him being the more experienced captain/etc etc etc
i think it's also interesting to note that suwa being the first of something for the the betterment of his juniors also literally happened IN the story when he got turned into a trion cube during the aftokrator invasion arc. in one of the trivia/author notes or whatever ashihara literally said that "[Suwa would] feel bad for Kitora or Chika if they were to be teased for [being turned into a trion cube], so it doesn’t really matter if it’s happening to him."
there is no point to this post. i just think suwa is neat. mama suwa real? idk
