I was wondering if pitt babe was worth watching because every time I go on the tag I literally have no clue what's going on lmao but you've convinced me with this rewatch you're doing
LMAOOOOOO oh i'm sorry/your welcome? pit babe is definitely A Show. but like i said it does have a lot of heart and when you get past the omegaverse of it all it is telling a very serious, profound story which i think does get lost a little bit bc it can be deeply unserious. just go into it with no expectations and i think you'll have fun !!
ur right tho the fans are definitely unlike any other groups i've seen so i'm not surprised you go into the tag and are like ??? bc i also go into the tag and am like ??? and i WATCHED the show. like for some reason the majority of the fandom latched onto the minor characters SO hard which is not a problem but it is kind of unusual. plus everyone is shipping everyone with everyone else and as someone who doesn't multiship AND was kind of indifferent to a lot of the minor characters it was just... not for me lmao. plus tbf i watched pit babe before i came back to tumblr and then i watched the eclipse and the untamed and so when i did come back i had much more to say abt those shows than i did pit babe atp
i will say tho while it is a fun watch heads up that there is some really heavy topics and scenes that could potentially be triggering come up esp towards the middle/end of the show. getting into the specifics would probably be spoilers but if you'd like to know what they are i'd be more than happy to tell you, just let me know <3
but yeah do come back and let me know how you get on/whether you enjoyed it or not !! i'd be curious to know lmao <3

hey, i just wanted to say i really loved your story 'this is not how the damage gets done'. it is so well written and you have such a wonderful writing style, i absolutely loved the way you've written kant. the kantbison tag on ao3 is unfortunately disappointingly empty, are you thinking of writing more for them? just curious because your story is the only one for the pairing i really enjoyed. anyways, have a nice day~
oh thank you so much omg 🥹 that's so kind of you to say, and i'm very appreciative of it bc i still do take my role of Number One Kant Understander VERY seriously so i'm glad you enjoyed the way i write him !! he is genuinely so much fun to write (or even just sit and dissect) so i'm glad my writing and esp my depiction of kant has been so well received !!
i have noticed that abt the kantbison tag too, which is surprising considering people still post for sandray and akkayan pretty often considering those shows aired years ago atp. i wonder if the hate kant got while the show was airing has anything to do w it? idk but that's not the point anyway lmao
unfortunately tho i don't have anything planned right now :-( it's definitely not that i'm opposed to writing anything for them! i just kind of disengaged from fandom for a minute so it's not really been smth that's been on my mind? and esp w the show being over my every waking thought is not Consumed by them so ideas are a lot harder to come by. but if i have an idea (or even if someone wanted to suggest one, though i definitely make no promises !!!) i definitely would be open to writing more fic for them
i did write another fic for kantbison called you're an angel, i'm a dog. idk if you saw/read it, it is primarily smut but there's also a lot of introspection and it is kind of a thinly veiled kant character study so if you're ok with smut and you haven't already maybe you might enjoy reading that ? if smut isn't your thing or you already read it and it just didn't do it for you i completely get it !! i just thought i'd throw it out there <3
but yeah i'm sorry this probably wasn't the answer you wanted :-( hopefully i'll be struck with a great idea and will be able to post a new fic soon, but unfortunately it's just not on the horizon as of right now :-( sorry :-( but i am SO flattered you enjoyed my writing to the point that you want more, genuinely. i've been feeling a bit weird abt my writing lately so getting asks and comments like this really does mean the world, thank you 💞💞
#anon#ask#the fact that i've got multiple messages like this.... im gonna cry#what do you mean the things i make has value and worth to people.... wtf !!!!

i miss you ranting about fk shows💔💔
i miss it too 💔💔 i was just in a weird headspace and needed to not be here for a little while 💔💔 but ya girl is back and even tho i still won't be posting as much probably i hope my weird tags will at least fill the void 💔💔 and that the ask i just posted will tide you over for a little while 💔💔 there's definitely less coming out of me as in like my own brain is quieter these days but when i get asks and stuff it is like poking a bear 💔💔 but i know it's not a fk show but i'll definitely be back for pit babe s2 and also ticket for heaven whenever that airs and OFC cat for cash which i know is a long way off but 💔💔 i'll still be around i promise 💔💔
#anon#question#i'll probably do a thk rewatch eventually too bc i definitely wanna binge it and see how different it feels like that#i didn't do it after it finished airing bc everything got a little weird w me but. soon!

what if bison dies in a prison fight? and kant just find out when hes there to give lessons and his boy isn’t there
i say this with ALL the love, respect and gratitude in the world: i am not even entertaining this. angst is not really my thing, esp not the 'main character death tag' kind of angst. death in general is a bit of a touchy subject for me rn so while i am so flattered you came to me w this idea, i'm just not in the headspace to be expounding on this. i'm sorry, but i hope you understand. and you're more than welcome to come to me with other ideas !! as long as my boys get their happy ending lmao <3 <3
#anon#question#i hope this doesn't come across too harsh like im not angry or upset at all! i just. can't do this lmao

I'm asking you because I like reading your opinions, this is about kantbison before the beach ep: I've been thinking how can you love someone when you don't trust them? kant was supposedly head over heels for bison but he was very scared of him. What are your thoughts?
oh i'm so flattered to hear you like reading my opinions !! and i'm so sorry it took me so long to get to this ask !! and also i'm so grateful you sent me this meaty ass question to sink my teeth into, i'm sorry if i went off the deep end a lil but i LOVE thinking about things like this !! it opens up such a philosophical can of worms in my brain is probably not at all what you wanted or expected but i have to live my truth, i hope you understand <3
so in my view, you very much can love someone without trusting them. you can love someone without even liking them. you can love someone and treat them like shit. you can love someone and have nothing to do with them at all. this is bc, as far as i see it, love as a feeling and love as an action and love as a relationship (of any kind) are three different, separate, distinct things that don't necessarily overlap. in order to have a functional, healthy relationship all three need to be in alignment ofc, but love in and of itself as an emotion and feeling we have for someone/something can and does exist in isolation from literally everything else. it's why we can still love someone who a bad person, who treats us badly, or why we can love someone and still treat them badly. it's why we can love people who aren't there anymore, or stop loving people who are still in our lives, loving us. love the feeling and love the action aren't the same thing.
which kind of opens up into a bigger conversation about unconditional love, right? like some people believe in unconditional love and some think it's not actually possible - love always has conditions. i disagree. i think unconditional love is real, but i think people don't know how to recognise the difference between love the feeling and love the action and love as a relationship, or if they do then they don't know how to differentiate where one ends and another begins. so it becomes a whole thing of like 'well unconditional love can't exist while still having boundaries or limits' but that's not true. just because you love someone doesn't mean you have to put up with any kind of bullshit behaviour. putting in boundaries or even cutting someone out of your life completely doesn't negate love the feeling. you can love someone unconditionally and never want to see them again in your life because those are two separate things.
and that circles back to your question: how can kant love bison when he doesn't trust him? how can he love someone he's scared of? and my answer is that love the feeling exists outside of logic and sense. bc you're right - logically kant had no reason to love bison. sure bison was pretty and fun to be around and great in bed, but he's also a murderer. he's a hitman. he's violent. he's capable of things beyond comprehension. kant is very, very aware of all of that. and even more than all of that, kant knows bison is his ticket to freedom. logic dictates that you don't fall in love with the man standing between you and your - and more importantly, your baby brother's - future. kant loving bison jeapordises everything he worked so hard for. it puts his and babe's life at risk in every sense of the word. who tf is gonna fall in love with bison, knowing all of that?
but love exists outside the realm of logic. you can't reason with love. you can't sit love down and go 'no, not him, it can't be him, anyone but him'. if you could i'm sure everyone's lives would be so much easier, and our hearts would be a lot less damaged. but we can't. love does what it wants. in a lot of ways humans are completely at the mercy of love (or its lack), and i could go on a whole nother tangent about that but i'll spare you that one lmao. but my point is this: kant loved bison because he couldn't help it. he tried so, so hard not to, but you can control love about as well as you can control the sea, which is to say you can't. kant did love bison, and he did it because he had no choice. if he did, he never would have chosen bison.
BUT although love the feeling kind of exists in isolation, we as people don't. and so although kant couldn't help but fall in love with bison, he's also not an idiot. he knows it's stupid and dangerous. he knows bison isn't to be trusted. he knows exactly what bison is capable of, what he could do to him and to babe if he found out the truth. just bc your logical brain has no say in what love does, that doesn't mean it stops functioning. so yeah kant falls more in love w bison with every moment they spend together, but that doesn't stop the alarm bells ringing in his head going STOP! DANGER! ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID! kant knows he's stupid. he expresses that he's stupid for feeling the way he does about bison. but he also knows he can't help it. which is why he was so desperate (and by extension reckless) about finishing the job and getting away from bison asap. he knew what was happening, and he knew he couldn't stop it from happening unless someone or something else stopped it for him.
and so you end up with kant, falling head over heels with bison, and yet not trusting him either. kant who loves bison and is still deeply scared of him. yknow?
i hope this made sense and answered your question at least a little bit. i realise i took a bit of a detour to get to my point but i feel like in order to explain my thought process properly i had to kind of explain my philosophy on love. which is probably overkill but i hope it gave you some food for thought at least ! and thank you again for coming to me w this, it was so much fun to chew on <3
#anon#question#thk meta#writing this just made me miss kantbison so bad#i would say time for a rewatch but it was taken off yt lmfao !!!!!!!!
