like yes yes eddie needs to choose and buck needs to be chosen but also 

Eddie needs to get over the very big trauma of losing his wife. Last time he dated someone he had literal panic attacks at the thought of her being mistaken for Chris’s mother and as much as we saw him work through in therapy we never?? really?? talked?? about?? that?? So, yeah, Eddie needs to realize that he’s at a point where he’s ready to risk his heart and give love a second chance 

(and maybe realize he already did becase there already is a partner in his life who gets consistently confused for Chris’s guardian and it feels natural to him?? but he still needs to realize he’s ready for love)

And Buck needs to be ready to be in a relationship where he’s loved for who he is, where he doesn’t bend and twist to fit someone else’s expectations. And for that Buck needed to die, and needed to come back, and now he needs to process that trauma and steady himself. 

(and Buck loves so quickly, so openly, so loudly, and he gives so much of himself and he wants to be loved that way, and maybe he’ll realize that he already?? is?? loved?? but he needs to let himself accept it)

so basically, it’s not only a matter of choice... eddie needs to be ready to love and buck needs to accept that he is loved if they are ever going to find each other properly together

and that, my funny little friends, is the point of their arcs were we are at right now

if it had been hughie the shapeshifter turned into, and annie that they tricked and raped and proposed to - there would have been monologue after monologue this episode about how violated annie felt.

and if hughie had blamed annie for even an instant for not realising it wasn’t him or for being raped or accidentally getting engaged to a person who had the same face, body, voice, mannerisms and memories as him - the amount of unholy backlash hughie’s character would face in the show and from fans would blow him away.

why are people (and the fucking shitty writers) so fucking quick to dismiss hughie’s trauma and accept annie’s wrongdoings just because he’s a man and she’s a woman? being a man doesn’t immediately make you the wrong one, and being a woman doesn’t excuse your mistakes. like, they both suffered huge amounts of trauma - why should either of them have had to apologise for what happened to them? and to the people saying “oh annie forgave him and they made up immediately after” no - she told him to get an std test and somehow that made everything okay again?? seriously?? roles reversed, how would that have felt coming out a man’s mouth to a woman?

fuck kripke so much

can't imagine morgan fey being bothered enough to handle mia's funeral but i can imagine a 17 YEAR OLD maya fey pushing herself to make sure her sister has a perfect funeral while trying to ignore all the trauma and grief of losing a sister and being accused of her murder with only one person truly being in your corner (who she barely knew well enough to fully trust but she had to force herself to trust). and also while still being a fucking child who has been forced by circumstance to grow up when she remains unprepared.

missing the maribelle/tharja family unit today. i think maribelle would be elated to have a daughter. she meets noire for the first time and she goes “do you play chess? violin? ride? drink tea?” and noire goes “no but im really good at throwing up in a bucket” and maribelles like “oh!!!! okay!!!!” i think she finds noire’s talisman persona charming. chrom is like “um maribelle can you please go get your daughter… she’s terrorizing the camp” and she goes “shes harmless! why do you hate women?” and he never speaks on it again. i think tharja needs a kid that will beef with her and i think brady is 100% the guy to do it. i think she looks at him and goes “what is your problem” and he flips her off. she tries to curse him but he spins his staff ninja style deflecting them back at her. he serves tea to his moms but he spits in tharjas and she knows it. and then she drinks it because it pisses him off. brady could come to love her at some point but it will not be easy and it will not come without a lot of work and a lot of arguing and i think i need some more parent/child conflict in this game. awakening gets one f bomb and its hidden in the random tharja brady PC support where he just goes “FUCK YOU” Tharja and Brady attained support level B.

Some thoughts about my own drv3 post game au:

Personally, I decided that between Korekiyo and the others there will be some animosity, and I don't think the general group is wrong for it.

The thing about drv3 is that a good portion of culprits have symphatetic reasons which mainly come from the desperate situation they are in, you can understand they would have never done it under other circumstances.

But Kiyo... Is not like that, his(fictional) character would have done it under other circumstances, and he used the trust that was put in him to kill someone, right in front of other people's eyes

And post game au, as much as there would be an acknowledgement of the fact that they don't know everyone's stories, or what is real and what is fake, I do think Kiyo would still be distrusted. Mainly for his actions (and manipulative personality) but also because the others don't know what to believe about him.

And I think he'd also purposely isolate himself as well, he wouldn't make an effort to get to know them, or try to make them think of him differently, all he wants is to go home and he is loud about it.

Then again, I don't think neither other people or him are wrong here, they have been put into a terrible situation but like, Korekiyo already wasn't liked in the game, he murdered someone, tried to manipulate others and kinda taunted Himiko when she was grieving.

It doesn't paint a good picture and he is not trying to even improve it, but that's why I like him slowly getting better, slowly regaining other people's trust, while of course, some people will never fully like him, and thats okay too!

i need Nikki to progress towards healing so she can walk around being outrageously sexy without crumbling to pieces every 5 minutes, as she deserves.

exvangelicals/exmos who haven't deconstructed their cultural Christianity when you politely ask them not to shut down every discussion about (any) religion because of their specific trauma:

I think the problem is that shippers who ship Milkvan because Mike represents who they WANT started fighting with people who ship Byler because Will represents who they ARE and thought they were equally invested and hurt by it.

You don't understand what it is not to be represented so you don't understand how deeply taking this away can hurt. (Which is also why people who ship it because they live vicariously through El for her trauma representation are typically nicer about it).

It's like the much more harmful reverse of me just recently learning because of sapphic representation that this whole time people were shipping things based on personal attraction not narrative investments or just plain predictions. Except it's people who have yet to learn that others ship ships because they have never seen themselves happy onscreen and can't get that from fanfics. You can get your shit from fanfics btw. And every other fucking show. Finn Wolfhard is in other stuff too. You'll be fucking fine.

Just booked my ticket for the Hunger Games prequel tomorrow. The fact that we’re in the middle of a Hunger Games renaissance is mind-blowing to my childhood self. I’ve yet to miss a midnight premiere for the entire series and although they’re not a thing anymore, I still plan on viewing the earliest fucking showing tomorrow. This series helped me so much as a kid. I'm sure if someone looked they’d notice that there are small breadcrumbs of the series all throughout my little blog. It’s still incredibly personal to me. So much of my life mirrors Katniss’. How fucking special it was to have someone go through so much trauma at the same age as me and still try and maintain her humanity and strength throughout. I named my dog Primrose, as a reminder to keep going, and on days when I can’t give myself any care, I pour it all into her. I feel excited about something for the first time all year. I feel like a kid again. I feel stupid and slightly embarrassed but I'm so fucking glad Suzanne decided to expand this world and enrich its characters once more.

(heres my Primrose)
