#& she never expected to happen?

[bioethicists]

every time a new SA allegation of a favored celeb arises, i'm reminded of the absolutely soul-crushing experience of the depp/heard trial in which i learned that dozens of ppl i loved + respected + trusted were also willing to engage in the basest form of misogyny if the woman Seemed Crazy Enough. there was a horrifying 2ish weeks on this website + much longer irl where i genuinely felt unsafe voicing my discomfort as i relived something eerily reminiscent of the aftermath of my own assaults playing out on screen, commented on by true crime youtubers like it was a red sox game.

it happens time + time again with every new allegation + it's truly the most agonizing + exhausting part of being a survivor. i am begging you all to consider that survivors are watching you engage with this stuff like theater + it erodes our trust in all of you + compounds our grief.

to think that 10+ years ago little me put her savings into a jar to go see taylor and now she's all grown up at taylor's sold out concert after she met her in person too 🥹

Feyre: Rhysand is my mate and I'm telling you this to your face.

Also Feyre: If you try and break my mating bond, I'm going to ruin your life.

Also Feyre: If you drag me back to Spring against my will, I'll destroy everything you love.

Tamlin: Break her mating bond so I can drag her back to Spring and we can start over.

Also Tamlin: I can't believe you destroyed everything I love and ruined my life!

I think something we don't take into account when thinking about Katniss (that people who solely take into consideration the film may not like...)

Katniss doesn't seperate (romantic) love from being married and having kids. Like at all. When she considers romantic feelings, marriage and children are what she puts into the basket to weigh. Being in love means to be married to her, to have children. Thats why she rejects them, and why they scare her. She can't be in love without linking her life to that person, without the idea of marrying them or children. That is always part of it, for Katniss.

She never considers maybe casually dating Peeta OR Gale. If she explores these relationships romantically, to her that almost certeinly means she will be eventually marrying them. Having kids. And it's not like she doesn't know it's possible. She says herself she's heard other girls talking about relationships, ones of high schools. Most of these likely without even the mention of marriage, and certeinly not children. No it's just that she's linked them in her head because thats what it is to her as a person. That's what she chooses for it to mean to her.

But oh yes. This is the girlboss, the rebel leader who don't need no man (heavy eye roll implied there).

I think the interesting question is if there is a cause to think, what is it aside from Katniss just valueing that kind of steps in romantic relationships? Part of me thinks it is simply an extention of Katniss, while not always the most confident or sure at 16-17 years old does not do what she DOES choose half way. Once she is in, she is ALL in with everything she does and to me, that could contributes to this connection for her.

On top of, while it does unravel with the death of her father she grew up with what we see even through small glimpes is a extreamly happy and loving version of this kind of family and end goal for romantic relationships. What a loving marriage looks like, what loving parents and loved children look like.

And I would like to add because I see this painfully often. No. This is not sending some anti-feminist message...say it with me: Because Katniss CHOOSES this, and it directly is canonically shown to make her happy. There are also several other female characters with diverse goals and positions. Including leadership. Just, so we are all clear.

Team Green calling Rhaenyra every misogynistic slur under the sun for the crime of having sex just for Alicent to be having sex with Criston while Blood and Cheese happened is pure comedy

"Narcissa your exhausted, why don't you take a nap?"

It was Regulus, but that wasn't right-

"Seriously Cissa, your exhausted, I'll take Draco for a bit and you can relax at the very least."

Then her baby cousin was coming out from behind her and taking the fussy toddler into his arms. Regulus, with an ease she never expects from the younger boy, starts bouncing and cooing at the blonde bundle in his arms.

Draco was nearly two now but was still so clingy, he would grab onto anyone he could and just hold on for hours. Normally it was just about Narcissa's favorite thing but her and Lucius have been fighting lately and she's just been so alone and-

She must doze for a while because when she wakes she sees her two favorite boys playing out in the garden. Regulus sweeps a giggling Draco up into his arms and swings him around. The youngest Black brother smiles more these days and always has a grin around his godson and Draco always smiles back at him. He sets the little boy back on his on two feet, the tot manages to stand on his own for a moment before collapsing into a pile of giggles.

Dropping to his knees Regulus blows bubbles into the squirming toddlers stomach, making a real show of it to. Draco all flying limbs and clumsy fists but still manages to escape his laughing uncles clutches and starts sprinting towards the house screaming "Mummy uncle Reggie is mean! MUMMY-"

And then Narcissa wakes up.

Draco is still screaming, Lucius is nowhere to be found, and Regulus is dead.

sometimes I forget that my experience has been. um. not 'your experiences are not universal' vibes but more like 'your experiences are EXTREMELY atypical'

[dear-nyu]

I am so normal about Blood and Whiskey again,, because!!! Guinevere you're my stars, Arthur you're my night!! Lancelot you can't just,, aaah??? Like.

If there's no Stars, It's just dark.

If there's no Night, It's just bright.

You needed both for it to be beautiful, and you need both for the Maybe, Just This Once, there could be a Happy Ending

It only makes sense when it's them three!!!!!

Half the fandom thought Gabriel had standards and would never knowingly hurt Adrien

For all we know, Nathalie thought this would stop Gabriel

I mean we dont see anymore of her afterward

(this is about Chat Blanc)

YES, that's exactly it. I don't think it's fair to assume that Nathalie knew that finding out Chat Noir was Adrien would make Gabriel double down. I think it's completely plausible that she thought it'd make Gabriel... I don't know....... reconsider his actions? Give up? Maybe even just have a gentle talk with Adrien and come clean to him about everything and ask for his help?

Mayura was not present during the Chat Blanc fallout, and considering everything we know about Nathalie, I just don't believe that she was in support of the Chat Blanc thing / believed that Gabriel was capable of that.

I mean, hating Nathalie or seeing her as irredeemable is still totally fair because she's done a lot of fucked up shit, but I don't think "Nathalie, in a state of shock, informed her almost-lover that he was unknowingly battling his son" is as clearly malicious as a lot of people took it. I dunno.

natlan 5.1 was batshit insane but i won't deny cookery when i see it. last 1/3 of the archon quest is just brilliantly done in my opinion, from writing to level design to soundtrack. just genuine excellence
