an alternate take on why it's forbidden for parabatai to fall in love:

so, y'know, I like the idea of there being some actual threat behind the taboo, that it's not just a thing the Clave decided on for arbitrary reasons but no, there's a good solid reason why this shouldn't happen. However, the "you turn into primordial angel beings and destroy shit and die" really didn't do it for me. Because guaranteed there would be some unhinged parabatai somewhere that'd think, "Yo, that'd be a pretty dope way to go out actually let's try and make it happen" (cough, Emma and Julian, cough) and so it doesn't really have much punch. So I started casting about for other reasons for the taboo and stumbled across one that would not only have severe complications for parabatai who fall in love but also for some parabatai who don't. And I happen to think it's pretty badass, so I'm sharing it here.

The idea is this: it's stated canonically that parabatai feel each others' emotions and pain. Being in love works the same way, and when the person you're in love with is your parabatai, that emotional bond begins to act as an echo chamber, bouncing that state back and forth and back and forth between you and growing louder and louder and louder—until it drowns everything else out.

It's taboo for parabatai to fall in love because you can't do it without becoming unhealthily obsessive with each other. It's not possible. The love echoes in the bond until it grows unhealthily strong, eclipsing love for everyone and anything else, until you start to closed-circuit and isolate yourselves from the rest of the world, because you're trapped in an echo chamber that can't be turned off.

And that's why this headcanon can have consequences for parabatai who don't fall in love, too. Other all-consuming emotions, like hatred (imagine a world where falling out with your parabatai is equally as bad, if not worse, than falling in love with them), obsessive guilt, and spiraling depression, can drag your parabatai down with you through the same kind of echo-chamber effect in the bond. Maybe that's why some of the parabatai we've seen in canon have that weird, awkwardly too-close feeling to them. Not because they're in love with each other. Because one of them is standing at the edge of a cliff and the bond is dragging the other one inexhorably toward it no matter how hard they fight.

It's actually kind of insane how little the rest of the Crows canonically know about Inej's past when you think about it

I know we know all of these awful, terrible details about Inej's abduction and year in the Menagerie, but I think a lot of people forget that no one else knows what she went through. She keeps her own secrets and trauma as close as she does everyone else's. Even Kaz only has "the barest inkling of what she’d endured there," and he's both someone whose actual job entailed collecting secrets from Heleen and the only one who ever actually saw Inej there.

Jesper and Nina probably know some of it (probably different parts than Kaz, who knows different parts than either of them), but there's so much about that time that Inej just. doesn't talk about. with anyone, and the only reason anyone knows about it at all is because there was literally no hiding where she came from and what happened to her

this also led me to the realization that most of our knowledge of Inej's childhood and Suli culture comes from her internal monologues, the flashbacks to her and her parents, or her time in captivity when she's being sweet-talked by Bajan and not anything she actually says out loud to anyone of her own free will

so now I'm just like….thinking about how little Inej actually says about herself to other people and how isolated that probably made her feel during her time with the Dregs

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

Things That Happen In Gravity Falls Without Context

It's implied that rich people control their children with a bell

Neil Cicierega wrote a song for it that was unfortunately never used (yes, seriously)

Everyone in the town is a tad strange, except, ironically, Cecil from Welcome to Night Vale

Boy bands are kept as pets

A character proves she is pure of heart by performing a drug bust on gnomes (this does not work)

Zombies are defeated by Ke$ha

The most discourse-generating part of the show is a 12 year old giving a time traveler a snowglobe

And old man almost fucks a spider

When someone tells you they don't have a tattoo, believe them.

Fucking up a science fair will inevitably lead to your brother being stuck in another dimension

If you stick your head in a portal, you speak in code for a little bit before you turn into a hillbilly

Get your son to pay attention to you by creating a mech beast

We are all blanchin', unless we find a cool gun.

By the end of the show, the mayor's last name is "Cutebiker"

The president gives Dipper a negative 12 dollar bill
