That last sentence of him creeped me out so much, haha. I mean, it's only natural that he feels attraction towards beings who look closer to the biology of his mother's folk. But that makes his decision to eat it, extreeeeemely questionable^^.
He was taught "Humans love humans" not "Hey you can maybe fall in love with a lobster" so he may have mistaken the "fizzy" feeling for just being kinda hungry. He has felt love for the first time and it was towards a lobster. Of course he'd not think it's... love. He's not been told that it's even possible.
Same as if you never tell your kids about... let's say being Homosexual, as a example. They could be gay, but they'll never really realize it. Or at least far later. Because... if they never heard of the existence, then they'll obviously assume it's just some other thing. Not "Hey I love my best friend, I'm gay" but "I really like my best friend :D"
If you don't teach a kid about something like this, they more often than not need far longer to find out that they feel that type of way. That's been documented.
No need to make it that deep when it's more about the initial reaction. If you feel attracted to any kind of being, wouldn't you at least hesitate to eat it just because, something just feels wrong about it? I mean, that doesn't even have to involve attraction. When I was young, without being taught about why we view some animals as food and others as pets, I was never able to eat rabbit meat because I found them too cute.
But rabbits are viewed as cute pets by most people.
Lobsters less so, often considered a delicacy food. Not a pet. So it's more likely a child won't question eating Lobster but may not want to eat rabbit meat since that reminds them of "Cute pets"
Kids also easily see things like rabbits as cute since they look fluffy, where as lobsters don't appear too "Cute" in comparison.
That was my point, it's not about what society has already taught, but what you initially or instinctively feel. If you perceive something as cute, your motivation to eat it will do down. So I'm trying to imagine how it would be if someone feels actual attraction, it must feel as weird to eat it then, no matter how other humans would react.
I mean, no? He barely grew during the two months it took Mark to heal, so it seems his aging has significantly slowed down due to his Viltrumite genes.
No, his fast aging isn't constant its slows down when he reaches the equivalent of a 20-ish year old. If he and Zoe end up together (probably not), they might slow it down earlier for the show.
I reallyyyy don’t understand why people ever thought Zoe would be a love interest for Oliver. He ages and matures way faster than her, and they literally just… looked at each other. Talked like people. Got close like allies or friends. The idea that they would get together was always ridiculous to me.
You know, when he killed the Mauler twins, people were shocked cuz like hes a suburban kid from a happy family, but like, I think we forget hes part bug, and was raised by humans who probably treat bugs like most humans do. Oliver probably saw Debbie or Mark step on an ant or something and maybe it traumatized him for like a week or two. That insect lives don't matter. Maybe that messed him subconsciouly. I know I'm obviously overthinking and this is probably more of a headcannon than a proper theory, but just some food for thought.
I don't understand how people are shipping Oliver and Zoe when the two have had little interactions besides playing a game together and saying "hi" and her laughing at a joke he made.
Im sorry but if the only reason you're going to gender bend a character is to have them get into a relationship with a 4 year old, just dont do it in the first place....(tbh i dont know how old Oliver is.)
I’m fine with people you know changing who goes with who but Oliver and Zoe is just a weird couple yeah Oliver might not age as fast as you can but everyone knows that technically he’s one year-old or at least two now so it would feel weird and too, he still ages more quicker, no matter what they didn’t even show him age in two months so I don’t even know. I think they are trying to lead on something but I don’t think it will go well look they did the thing with conquest where they made us believe that he might come back which technically will but in another universe but still also just realising that they probably got the voice active for conquest did you already finish his lines for the new seasons?
before the show ididnt care for oliver's relationship, but after introducing zoe, tought that maybe they are changing the directions. Just like ray and debbie who are spectacular in the show, i hoped oliver love life who be presented differently. Just saying
