So many people miss the point of my original post and I’m tired of it so come clarification:
Yes, some guys suck. Some guys are really horrible people, who do horrible things. This isn’t news to anyone! Though it might be surprising for some to learn that there are women out there who suck, are terrible people, and do terrible things too. Neither of these things are the point!
If you’re dating a man, maybe don’t constantly shit on him for a funny little thing like ~gender~ which he can’t really control. A lot of people will make fun of and hate the old boomer mindset of “I hate my wife” jokes and then will turn around and do the exact same fucking thing to their boyfriends. It’s stupid! It’s annoying! And it’s extremely prevalent in the queer, more specifically bisexual, community (aimed at both bi men and women) to the point it can just be straight up Homophobic at times (why tf you shaming a bi man for having boyfriend instead of a wife??).
“Oh but Bees, I have trauma! I can’t help hating men and looking at the person I want as my boyfriend in utter disgust” then don’t date! Go to therapy, work on yourself! Don’t subject some poor dude to constant vitriol because you refuse to work yourself! I swear to everything good people on this app, and others, will shit on disabled people, and neurodivergent people, for being disabled and needing some extra assistance from their partners sometimes (something they often CANT help)… and then turn around and be like “but actually…my trauma means I can verbally abuse my boyfriend for being a man :/// thanks :///“.
There, now all the sorry-ass-joy-sucking motherfuckers can shut the fuck up!! Here’s clarification!! If you see happy gay couples, or a confident trans man in a healthy relationship, or something and feel the need to add a rant about your failed relationship with a dude (so they can’t be happy either) maybe pick up journaling or something! Get hobbies! Enjoy life! And maybe stop with all your bad takes!!

nothing is more terrifying than reading a book where one of the characters (BONUS POINTS IF THEY'RE CLOSE TO THE PROTAGONIST) gets really sad and guilty out of nowhere, and then just apologizes.
like??? sir, you haven't done anything yet worth apologizing for, so what are you about to do????

When someone sneezes while holding a drink and you can see the liquid sloshing from the force, threatening to spill over the edge of the container. Even better if they have a person or people around them who rush to try and take the cup/glass/mug so the sneezer can sneeze freely, without the risk of getting soaked. (Leave that to the rest of us who are watching and imagining this scenario. 🤤)

So how far apart are your kids that you’re midwife is side eyeing you? Lol
These two will be 16 months. So it’s not that crazy of an age gap

my one big gripe with the owl house will always be what they did with the blight parents. they built them up in amity’s flashback and the first episode they appear in as a couple on equal standing with each other, whose abusiveness manifests in different but equally malicious ways. who terrorize their kids because they care about their company more than their children and parade them like status symbols. and even alador, the less active parent, can stop Odalia’s abuse at any time because they’re EQUAL in their partnership but doesn’t bother because he either doesn’t care what she’s doing or they’re working together to do it.
even in the episode centering around alador, they never show any indication that odalia is forcing his hand, or even that he’s against odalia’s decisions at all. at most they show he hasn’t talked to his children in like 10 years and doesn’t know or care what they want until amity shows potential in abominations, which alador then cares about. (the twins show magical potential in that episode too, and he still didn’t care btw.) even then they reinforce the fact that alador can stop odalia’s abuse at any time by promising to talk to her about amity’s hair in a way that implies he’s confident odalia will listen. he never promises amity that he’ll talk to odalia about her not wanting to join a coven. and later we find out odalia is still able to ground the blight kids and break amity’s belongings without any mention of resistance from alador.
and then in all of a sudden they retcon these two to the Evil Woman and her battered, terrified husband who’s been Protecting The Kids All Along by... not wanting anything to do with them and twiddling his thumbs and sometimes helping as his wife tormented them? but don’t worry! he’s Good Now! because odalia is actively (and maybe knowingly) helping belos with genocide in a plan that makes absolutely no sense, even though the last time we saw her, she and her husband were in a tense standing with belos for “building their own private army.” but yeah, i guess belos just let her in on secrets only the coven heads knew. they gotta get the audience to hate odalia enough so they think alador’s new backstory makes sense.
and according to the fandom, belos take her sigil off even though there no evidence it can be taken off and though hes REALLY intent on killing everything on the isles, including the children, a grimwalker who had no magic to threaten him with, and also his most loyal servants! because like kikimora, terra snapdragon, and lilith clawthorne and even amity blight in some circles, this is an Irredeemable Evil Woman who does Evil Things and who cares if it makes sense she’s Evil and thats what matters!
and now i guess alador’s the perfect dad now. he and amity have to reconnect after the years of not talking to his own kids that his Evil Wife forced him into. and odalia is actively trying to get her husband and daughter killed now i guess, because even her previous reason of helping belos to secure wealth and status for her kids isn’t flimsy enough. and yeah they’re the exact trope of the irredeemable domestic abuser husband and the battered wife who never protected the kids but at the end turns out to Care About Them All Along and just couldn’t do anything because she was oh so terrified of her husband. except they didn’t even build it up. they built up a different much more interesting dynamic before they flushed it down the toilet to make it this dynamic. oh but the genders are swapped which makes it Subversive therefore Progressive therefore Good, i guess. i’m gonna need to write so many retcons for this mess.

The thing is, I don't want to hit people (aka all 4 readers of this fic once it gets published) over the head with the Themes™ but also I need to actually sufficiently establish the emotional through-line so that stuff doesn't just come out of nowhere.
Writing is hard.
