thinking about the detective & Rebecca's dynamic sm on this wednesday. the special hell of feeling alone so early on in life. knowing that in stories sometimes grief can bring families together, but not yours. looking at every future relationship or fling or situationship through the lens of being deeply, fundamentally unlovable. because why wouldn't you? what kind of lesson does absence teach? what lesson must be taken away to survive it? even if it's bred from necessity, what does that teach the mc about themselves? will they even know love when they first see it, especially if that love does not look the way they recognize. if it does not look like begging?

Me and my best friend have given each other something called relationship veto. If either one of us feels like the other person is entering a relationship that is toxic or abusive, we can call a relationship veto. The veto can only be called sparingly in dire situations, but once it is invoked, it cannot be contested. The other person HAS to dump whoever they’re dating, no questions asked.

sometimes it feels like i’m existing on a different plane than some of the atla fandom, like when people complain they can’t find zutara fics that also contains a positive depiction of the friendship between Aang, Katara, and Zuko

baby, I read them all the time - are we using two different AO3s??

You know, I am being genuinely serious when I say that there really is entire commentary to be made on how tce$t is, in fact, highly representative of a recurrent issue present in most fandoms; that issue being that fandom shipping culture tends to be so fixated on romance that platonic friendships and familial relationships are often ignored, devalued, treated as inferior, forgotten about—whatever you want to call it.

leliana likening the warden to a version of her ex that she even suggests never existed and you know caused horrid things to her sure does something to me!

seeing various dragon age romance polls & honestly i'm so happy that all the veilguard companions will be romanceable bc bioware are so talented at making me fall in love with characters & then making them unromanceable either to women or at all (except for isabela!) like:

origins: tried to romance morrigan, ended up in the most queer-coded homoerotic female friendship imaginable. tried to romance anora, got nowhere

awakening: tried to romance velanna, w similar results to morrigan, albeit for the other reason (no romance in awakening)

dragon age ii: successfully romanced isabela, gaining false hope for inquisition

inquisition: tried to romance vivienne, got laughed out of skyhold

This is a projection of limited personal experience but there’s a type of poly person who realistically shouldn’t be in more than one relationship due to time, emotional availability, mental health, etc and just decides to try for like five relationships in a doomed quantity-over-quality approach and i think a large concentration of these ppl in one area is partly why Portland and an increasingly large surrounding exclusion zone is That Way

Hades going on about how Thanatos' mom dumped Thanatos on him and left Hades to raise the guy feels like it's supposed to makes us go "Look how ungrateful this guy is, betraying the one guy who stood by him all his life by cruelly going after his benefactor's girlfriend." but it actually makes Hades look worse.

First of all, Thanatos didn't ask for that job. His mom shoved him into it, and YOU LET HER, HADES. Just like with Persephone, you could've pawned him off on someone else. Give him a recommendation letter. Do something. You didn't. You did not dislike the idea of child labor enough to get rid of him.

Second of all, as pissy as Hades is about Thanatos talking all that shit, Persephone did the crime Thanatos accused her of. She has yet to argue that she didn't kill those people. In fact, she has said the opposite. People on her side have admitted she killed those people. Why is Thanatos the bad guy?Cause he's not enabling corruption when his adoptive dad's gf is involved? Fuck that bullshit

Thirdly, Thanatos' mom seems to have become a deadbeat after dumping the kid on Hades, since we never see or hear of her interacting with him in between that point and the present and we never see his sperm donor so that bitch is probably a deadbeat too. Hades is basically the only family he really has, and he is putting Thanatos in a position where if he doesn't enable Hades' questionable romance choice, Hades will turn on him without hesitation like a rabid dog biting anyone who comes near.

Kind of fascinated with the question of whether Paul was an enabler, but even more fascinated with the question of whether the fandom's caricature of Paul is an enabler
