RWRB Book Thoughts: Ellen and Oscar

Re-reading RWRB and thinking about Oscar and Ellen. The thing is book Ellen and Oscar's relationship scares me because it's like the worst-case scenario of my own parents (they're a lot better now but covid was hell) So I understand it.

Ellen and Oscar are soulmates. As in they are both intelligent, stubborn and headstrong. They are very similar people. Unfortunately this is a case where it's like forcefully pushing two North ends of a magnet together: Ellen in particular wants and needs a complimentary relationship instead of collaborative relationship, which is why Leo works for her: Leo is meek compared to Oscar. He really just listens and generally agrees with Ellen. His appearances are limited in the book but when he does show up he doesn't really have his own opinion. Ellen wants/needs someone who won't speak up against her.

Honestly? I, kinda feel sad for Oscar. He said it himself, "We're both too fucking proud. But God, that woman. Your mother is, without question, the love of my life. I'll never love anyone else like that." It's sad to know that he never stopped loving Ellen while vice versa isn't true, and to know that she's it for Oscar.

When it comes to parenting I honestly think Oscar is the better parent. It was really shitty of him to leave without telling Alex and June and that evidently really hurt Alex til this day, but when it comes to the other parent things? I was re-reading/listening to Chapter Four today when he goes to DC for Christmas, and both Alex and June are so much more comfortable with him. Part of that is probably because he doesn't carry the inherent pressure of being the fucking president, but part of it is that he really cares about his kids as they are. Ellen downplays June's passion for journalism and pressures her into a political job that she didn't want at all, while Oscar "raved about June's latest blog post for The Atlantic". Ellen immediately started piling up all the political consequences of firstprince literally minutes after Alex plucked up the courage to come out to her while Oscar gave him relationship advice. This isn't to say Ellen isn't a good mother, she is flawed, as Oscar is, as all parents are. But if we're looking at non-crisis moments, Oscar's actions are more comfortable for his children.

There's a reason June initially wanted to go to California and be close to her dad. Yesterday I talked a little about how I hated how Ellen and Alex treated June at the earlier chapters of the book. Well in the rest of the book it's implied that she has a much closer relationship with Oscar, jumping into his arms when he arrives at the White House, him picking her up and spinning her when they arrive at the lakehouse.

Either way, Ellen and Oscar clash becasue they're too alike, and my opinion is that Ellen tends to fan the flames more, see Christmas dinner where Oscar suggests campaigning with them to help and she immediately shoots it down with "you can't be serious". Anyways, the children suffer the most. And uh, speaking from experience here, that shit never goes away. My parents are still together and are a lot better compared to the past, but I flinch at any sound of argument/angry yelling because of all of their fighting.

And there's this one paragraph in the book: "Even before Alex's parents split, they both had a habit of calling him by the other's last name when he exhibited a particular trait. They still do. When he runs his mouth off to the press, his mom called him into her office and says ' get your shit together Diaz.' When his hard-headedness gets him stuck, his dad texts him, 'Let it go, Claremont'" and God that's so shitty? To know, to be reminded that one parent hates the part of you that is from the other parent. Even if that's not what Ellen and Oscar's intention is, that's what it feels like, and it's really, fucking, shitty.

I wonder how would book Alex feel if he know that there was an alternative universe out there where his family was functional. I wonder how would he feel if he knew that movie Alex doesn't have his loving sister, but has loving, gentle parents who have a healthy, functional relationship.

My guess, is that he would say that he'd choose his life and his sister no matter what, and he means it because he does love June, but deep down a part of him would be jealous of movie Alex for having a smaller but healthier and happier family.

Petition to make Neal Shusterman write an alternate ending of aoas where Curaday end up together

Like he can still do the space shit if he really wants I just wanna see how he would write these two ending up together

[lala-blahblah]

I will never make this because it would be for an audience of one (me) but ever since reading "If we Were Villains" (story about serious drama kids in college who perform shakespeare and deal with a murder) I have been entertaining the thought of a crack fic crossover with High School Musical The Musical The Series where the staff decides they will no longer put on shakespeare after the tragic accident that happened at Thanksgiving, because Shakespeare plays would only increase the tension and drama. So they hire Ms. Jen who decides their spring play will actually be High School Musical (which exists in the 90s in this universe) and it ruins the vibe so much that everyone gives up on being dark and mysterious because they're universally pissed at Ms Jen for making them learn choreoraphed basketball dancing.

Collection of stuff I found interesting whilst reading through The Riddler's Gambit (Arkham Knight Prequel book)

[Chapters 1-4]

At least Eddie's aware of his own egomania

So the decision to keep Oracle a secret from Gordon was Barbara's choice? Guess it wouldn't really change Gordon's reaction to the confession later on in Arkham Knight, but it would've been interesting to see how it would've played out if Bruce told him during that scene

^^ Bruce's worries about keeping Oracle's identity a secret from Jim

WELL. UH... WE KNOW HOW THAT PLAYED OUT :'D

Either Bruce is just really daft and forgot Babs already knows his identity, or the author forgot the voice lines in both Arkham Asylum and City where Babs calls Bruce by his name? Or that entire Hush side mission in A. City where Babs directly challenges Batman by proposing he might've been the serial killer bc Bruce Wayne's prints were found at the crime scene??

THIS STINKSTER. He's so damn goofy I love it

Tbh I really wish we got to see more of this side of Riddler in the Arkham games? We usually just see his goofier show-biz esque persona in the games, and although it's hinted at, we don't really get to see how genuinely menacing he can be? There aren't many scenes depicting how he treats his goons, or anyone who isn't another rogues gallery member/ Batman? (Or at least the only glimpses I can remember are how he talks to his Riddlerbots?)

Lark's introduction to the story might be my favorite thing ever lol. His "Ach, shite" lives RENT FREE IN MY HEAD at ALL TIMES 😭😭

(loving rant about said introduction and mild spoilers for 'Bloodmarked' below the 'keep reading')

Also, I started an art account on instagram to save some of my sanity in the eyes of my IRLs, and save them from the unhinged amount of fanart I'm about to let into the world, probably lol. it's @/tottertarts if you'd like to follow me there! ^^

Like, dude whisked the most important person in the entire Order away from an attack of monsters up into a TREE only to be IMMEDIATELY YANKED DOWN BY A WHIP AROUND THE ANKLE by his top student "rival" from "Merlin school", and then having said rival pull a "touch her and you die" with a SWORD/BLADE TO HIS THROAT, WITHOUT HESITATION????

AND THEN THEY JUST FKN LEAVE BREE UP IN THE TREE DURING THE WHOLE EXCHANGE WITH THE GENERALS BECAUSE "she's safe up there"??? GIRLIE SPENDS FKN 7 PAGES UP IN THAT TREE EYE- 😭😭😭😭💀💀💀 I laugh every time I think about it

Also just Lark, happy and excited to finally meet Bree, having a one-sided argument with an absolutely livid, drenched in shadowborn-goo-Sel while also having a SCOTTISH ACCENT like I can't. It's ridiculous I love it sm hjshjfsdfd

And also the only thing I love more than Lark x William-interactions is fkn Lark x SEL interactions because the mutual respect but also Sel being sassy towards poor Lark who's literally just there to do his job is just incredible. fkn love their dynamic lol

I've been reading the Percy Jackson books for the first time over the past two weeks! Just finished "The Battle of the Labyrinth" last night (which btw is my favorite of the series so far!!)

I have now gained a new obsession but it might not be what you think
