#and better stay alive

[respectthepetty]

No one asked for my opinions, but if Keng + Non become a couple, I'm going to throw my laptop down the stairs. (I'm mature enough to be aware that I'm talking about fictional characters, ftr, and people are allowed to enjoy taboo things, but Keng just makes my skin crawl 😟)

Also, since I'm here with my personal DFF Ending wishlist, I'm hoping Jin tells Phee that he filmed Non with Keng and it makes Phee angry and Phee tells Jin why he got in with the group and it makes Jin angry. Am I wrong to want them to end up resenting each other?

Anon, I want the same outcome as you do with Jin and Phi fighting each other, but even if the show decided to give me them falling in love and trying to escape together, I won't be upset. I'll just want them to die even more.

TLWR: You're not wrong for wanting Phi and Jin to resent each other because I want everyone dead.

Mental Health 101 tells us not to stress about events that have not happened because then we will have been upset for an entire week that Keng is alive and with Non when in actuality, Keng could be dead like I want, and all our strife was for nothing.

But . . .

It's seriously the ONLY thing I can think about.

And I keep thinking about it because I wouldn't be mad about it.

Unlike all of these other shows that have done little things along the way to upset me before they hit me with the final offense, Dead Friend Forever has done everything right for me up until this point, so if it did something I don't agree with now, I'd be conflicted but not upset. Perfect example: Phi catching real feelings for Jin simply moved him onto the kill list, but I'm not upset at that development. I'm not mad at the show. I just want Phi to die now. It's like fantasy football and my pick for quarterback is fucking it up! I'm mad at the players, not the game.

The show has given an excuse for every single character. I still want all of them to die, but I can see why they did what they did (except Fluke cancelling the Uber). I understand how Phi caught real feelings. I get it! But I want him to die now. So if the show is giving us Keng alive, I'll probably understand why, but I'll still want him dead like I want everyone else dead (except Tan, Non, and White because they are perfect although I'm still questioning White).

Because this show has tapped into the very special part of my heart where I greatly enjoy watching characters die once they piss me off. By the end of the Game of Thrones, I was rooting for the White Walkers to take out EVERYBODY! And that's how I'm treating Dead Friend Forever. Once Uncle Dang lost his head, the possibility of people dying went up significantly, and I turned into the Queen of Hearts demanding heads roll.

So while you've been questioning whether you're wrong or not for wanting these boys to resent each other, I've been actively rooting for them to murder each other.

You take the high road.

I came for the low.

For a moment, imagine yourself in Mithrun's brother shoes.

Your brother - stronger, prettier, more charismatic, but also distrustful and disdainful of everyone especially you - is to be sent to the Canaries. It is the rule, it is the duty of all noble houses. But you know what goes on there, Mithrun knows what happens there. Yet you see him off, bidding a temporary farewell as you do, because someone from the House has to go and it won't be definitely you. Mithrun knows this, you know this. And you wonder, very briefly, if Mithrun hates you now more than he does already.

Your brother - powerful, agile, a good soldier just as he is as an heir, if he could only be an heir - suddenly disappears. The unit he belonged to suddenly disappeared. And you're speechless because - how? why? No one wants to answer you; they will instead try to bring back a body, they promise to you. But that is not what you want. You grieve for your brother. but your own family doesn't grieve with you. Wasn't Mithrun family too?

Then you found out: MIthrun is alive.

Your brother - now weak, despondent, his eyes always looking for something that is not here nor there - is to be sent home where people can take care of him. It is not your first choice, you want him home. But he is - sick. Not quite there. He needs someone who can look after him and you look at yourself - your gait, your constitution - and you know it can't be you. So, you follow the advice of your family and pour out all your resources to find him the best of healers and caretakers. You ask yourself, almost daily, if Mithrun would ever return to who he once was.

Your brother - strong, pretty, uninterested of anything and anyone else aside from what he calls 'the demon' - is now better. He can walk on his own now, eats without throwing up on himself. The color on his skin is back and the scars of his injuries have faded into thick bumps and discolored skin. But he still isn't quite there; still needs help and probably will for the rest of his life. And you can live with that. You can provide that. Just as long as he comes home.

But doesn't. Your brother - now a husk of his former self, and you hate thinking of him that way, but you can't help yourself, the Mithrun you knew is gone - runs straight back to the Canaries. His mission is not over, he says. He doesn't care how long it takes, he says. And you see him off, again, because someone from the House has to go and it still can't be you. Mithrun knows this, you know this, and you can't help but wish, very briefly, if things would've been different if you went instead of him.

can’t remember where exactly i heard it from but one quote that i try to keep with me is that “you have a 100% record of overcoming hardship, i’m no mathematician but that sounds pretty good”

in light of current politics news i just wanted to share this because i know i needed to hear it and maybe someone else does too.

to everyone out there, please stay alive just please

Reminder: even if trump wins, we’ll be ok. The presidency isnt the only political position that matters, he wont be a dictator, the president doesnt have the power to remove every other part of government that keeps the president’s power in check. Also politics isnt the only thing that matters. Even if we lose some rights (which he cant singlehandedly do) we still have community, we still have activism, we’ll always be ok. We survived one trump presidency, we can survive another. We survived before gay marriage or transitioning were legal, if we have to survive that again we will. Please, no matter what happens, promise to stay alive. Youre valuable, youre important, and youre going to be ok. Its better to be overprepared than underprepared. Im not asking you to lose hope (im doing the opposite of that), im asking you to practice coping ahead, get all your coping skills ready, determine now to stay alive, because i dont want any of you to make any rash decisions later in case we get bad news and emotions are high. Make a safety plan if you need to. Make sure you’re gonna be ok

If they don’t want us to team green then stop casting these actors/actresses who are all hot as fuck

I've realized what it all boils down to for me: stede's defeated izzy just as absolutely as he defeated nigel and chauncey. it's the stedeness of it all that's triumphed here. izzy swore up and down that his way was better and stede's softness was despicable, that it had infected and corrupted his captain, and all that only led to the loss of every last thing he ever believed in. no ed didn't love him. no he wasn't blackbeard's right hand man. no he wasn't irreplaceable or memorable to the legend he worshipped. he's just an angry lonely man who has absolutely nothing left. and then the crew takes him in. and then stede saves his life and allows him to stay on his ship. izzy's been undone in the most unfixable way possible at this point, and the only way forward that isn't death is embracing what stede represents and changing to be more like him
