*taking a pull from my cigarette while languidly lying on my therapists chaise lounge* I understand the drive to explore a positive polyamorous arrangement between veth, caleb, and yeza on a conceptual level, but is it not also worthwhile to explore the facets of veth that have already and desire to do more so engage in acts of infidelity? are all acts of infidelity painted with the same brush of inherent immorality? do we give leeway to infidelity in some cases or do we consider everyone a villain for doing it, regardless of context? in veth's context, would infidelity be understandable? who determines that, us or her, a person who does struggle with the idea of infidelity? how does veth interact with her romantic desire for another man despite knowing it's a bad thing? is it not incredibly interesting to engage with an immoral choice, particularly one that she perhaps spent a great deal of time considering herself, in the confines of fiction and/or transformative fiction? do we dismiss all interrogation of veth's relationship with infidelity out of hand simply because we are uncomfortable with the idea of infidelity itself?
#anyway I saw someone refer to veth and caleb post-yeza as ''that cheating shit'' and I'm like#is it shit? or should be not extend more empathy and understanding for why and how veth might engage with those feelings post-yeza?#I am not tagging anything because I am going to be Killed for this post I think#also crucify me but I think infidelity can be incredibly interesting and in veth's context I think it especially is#because it's not a petty cruelty. there's a lot of foundation built into why she might want to be unfaithful#I understand personal taste with this sort of stuff and respect people who personally don't like this#but also perhaps we shouldn't call it ''that cheating shit'' when it's thematically central to her conflict overall#this is fiction. let's explore some difficult things here!
