#STILL i want to have more discussions about ragatha separated from jax and pomni because i'm just !! so curious about her !!

[bi-shop]

it's always the nice ones huh

we still don't know enough about ragatha to know if her being the mom friend Completely Defeats Her Entire Character Arc (CONSTANCE BLACKWOOD) though i won't be surprised if it does - considering there are several hints throughout the pilot and gooseworx's confirmation of her being selfless to a fault . guys i love pomni x ragatha , i've already drawn art of them - but pomni is not the only one fighting demons here

(some examples being : apologizing To pomni because she had a 'terrible first day' even though SHE'S IN PAIN ?? , fake-laughing at kaufmo's jokes , and . the entire pilot is her already being the group meditator and it's clearly not doing her any favors . she's Not doing okay guys)

and it !! grinds my gears !! because it all boils down because she is The Nice Character . it always happens to nice characters - they'll get thrusted into a parental role since everyone thinks their niceness is what they all have , or they're seen as boring because they're not causing conflict everywhere they go .

i would be lying if ragatha doesn't radiate mom vibes , but it just ?? feels like a shortcut . sure , you took the quickest , bite-sized way , but you missed the beautiful river on the other road

sorry for the big ramble this is actually my third time having to deal with this kind of thing in fandoms SHFHSF it genuinely appalls me how everyone is interpreting her optimism as her 'figuring out how to stay sane in this place' even though it's literally the Opposite ????

i can't get too possessive over ragatha yet since we only know her for 6 minutes and it's best to wait for a full season which promises to go deep into every character . but goodness ....... the way the fandom is treating her so far .....
