oh, I like this one! never thought syndis actual characterisation in the show fitted with mars's characterisation of her as an airhead - she always seemed just as smart and driven as he was, just more involved in the community rather than looking in from the outside the way he did.

She is legit like always studying. AND WHEN SHE'S HELPING HER LESS GENIUS FRIEND LEARN SHAPES OMFG THAT WAS AWESOME.

Mars just doesn't realize it because he's the little brother and she's the big sister plus there's like three years between them so they're pry not super close anyway...

[froodle]

that bit was hilarious. "Think Danny Melman. *laughs and nods* Right, kinda square."

Yeah, Mars is at that weird age where he still remembers when she was big enough to throw him off the sofa and wrestle him into giving up his sweets, but he's not yet so big that he can do it back to her and have her be like, "what? what the fuck? when did this happen?!" while he laughs at her.

...oh wait, was that just me? n/m.

not just you.

my brothers are still scared of me.

[froodle]

Mine stopped being scared of me when they realised they can bodyslam me now. Then they started beimg scared again when they realised I would bite them to get control over the remote and/or a bigger piece of the sofa than I was entitled to

heehee nicely played Froodle.

If they ever stopped being scared of me that's all done now as I have started taking jujitsu and can now literally throw them despite being significantly smaller.

Oh hey ALSO

I've been thinking about this.

Like.

SYNDI FUCKING GETS THAT DIFFERENT PEOPLE LEARN DIFFERENTLY! Like. Her friend is probably like totally screwed in geometry until Syndi is like "OKay, how can I make this accessible?" AND SHE DOES IT.

Syndi for world's greatest teacher? Yes? Pls?

AND SHE MOVES BACK TO EERIE AFTER GETTING HER DEGREE TO TRY TO REFORM THE EERIE SCHOOL SYSTEM

[froodle]

YES, headcanon, YES!

I love Syndi, especially when they lampshaded how little she got to do in 'Reality Takes A Holiday' ("I worked all night on my big line") and how flat roles for women can be.

This show was good at like...breaking molds and commenting on tropes of the time.

this. lj needs a like button - I didnt have anythjng to add, just wanted to express total agreement

[froodle]

I think the moments like that are part of why the show has had such sticking power over the years with its now-adult audience. esp consodering its nearly 25 years old, and didnt even run for a full season, and yet were still talking about it
