#and their relationships with each other

[soultragedy]

if you asked eddie kaspbrak, he'd say he has three soulmates. richie tozier, stanley uris and bill denbrough. the fantastic four, the original quartet, the four horsemen. eddie treasures each and every moment with his three best friends. every night after his mom is passed out in her armchair, eddie will play his stereo low and replay the memories in his head he has with his best friends. he'll replay the conversation they had during lunch today that ended in "beep beep richie" and a chorus of laughter. he'll save the notes they pass each other in class. bill, richie and stan are eddie's everything's. eddie loves when richie sneaks in through his window in the night because he can't stand being apart from eddie for more than 4 hours. he loves when richie will steal a chocolate bar for eddie from the school cafeteria line. eddie loves when richie will pass him notes in class of obscene drawings of their history teacher. he loves when richie makes him laugh. eddie loves when stan invites him out for the day to go birdwatching out by the barrens. he loves that when he sleeps over at stan's they'll curl up in his bed and stare at each other and exchange secrets. he loves how stan knows him. eddie loves his nightly calls with bill after dinner where they talk about "homework" (aka the spider-man comic they're reading and how bad greta's new haircut is). he loves listening when bill reads him one of his new stories he wrote. he loves the friendship bracelet that has been wrapped around his wrist since bill gave it to him on his ninth birthday. he loves having bill in his company. he loves how his best friends make him laugh. how they're always doing something stupid together, how the teachers seem to sigh when the four of them are in a class together. he loves his best friends.

STOP

That Scott and Stiles scene just gave me alllll sorts of emotions.

Okay first, side note, I really wish Deaton's sister...whatever her name is...please hold...*searches internet* Ms. Morell! That's what it is. There are too many people to keep track of in this show. XD

Anyways.

Ugh how I wish she hadn't shown up in that moment. Like, I'm glad she's pointing us in the right direction with Lydia and everything, and I'm glad that, despite them being on opposite sides, she clearly cares about her brother, but we were soooo close to having Sheriff Stilinski find out, and UGH I really want him to find out. I feel like things'll be soooo much easier for the boys if Stiles' dad knows too, 'cause then they have two very supportive parents in powerful positions in the know about everything and completely on their side. It would make their lives soooo much easier.

But anyways. That's not the point.

The point is, THE WAY THAT SCENE HIT MY HEART OMG.

Because Scott is right. Telling him would likely make people easier to save. Telling him would theoretically save him some stress.

But Stiles is also right. Telling him would make him involved. Telling him would put him in even more danger than he's already been in.

But the way they were both so quick to agree with the other person to help each other I just...

First Stiles is arguing because he doesn't want his dad to get hurt, and he even acknowledges that Deaton is like a father to Scott and he GETS that, but that's the same reason that Scott totally gets why Stiles doesn't want to put his dad in any more danger. So the second Stiles says that he can't lose both parents, Scott backs down, because he would never want his best friend to have to go through that.

But the second Scott backs down, Stiles realizes that he's letting his emotions get in the way of a pretty smart and logical decision that would probably benefit them in the long run, and the way he backs down and agrees despite all of his emotions telling him not to because he KNOWS it's a good call is just...AHHH THE POOR BABY.

I love them and their relationship so much, and I feel so bad for them both, but I love how willing they are to listen to and be there for each other no matter what and I just...I LOVE THEM OKAY?! <3 <3 <3 <3

And on that note, SOMEBODY TELL ME WHEN NOAH STILINSKI FINALLY FINDS OUT GODD*MMIT! Because he HAS to at SOME point, right? Scott even said it.

Anyways.

Continue.

(According to the website I got this from this is in Season 6 and dangat that's a really long time to wait for what looks like a beautiful scene. Also if I keep using all of the Stiles and Scott gifs, I'm gonna run out of Stiles and Scott gifs. Oops. XD)

Update: Right after this I got the scene with Lydia and Cora and I don't have enough to say to make a whole separate post about it but STILES TO THE RESCUE! Anyways when is Stydia canon? XD

[melonsharks]

au where everything is the same except mabel and dipper have been going to gravity falls every year before the show takes place since like kindergarten.

its a pretty simple premise that derives mostly from my desire to explore interpersonal relationships and the ways a place and people can change from a young child’s point of view. it doesn’t change canon that much either, admittedly, i just wanted to draw childhood friends stuff LOL. ill call it uhhhhhhhh every summer au.

Remember that this is not the proof that they love each other

That was a last-ditch attempt from Crowley to get Aziraphale to stay

This is the proof that they love each other

Their love wasn't just made real because they kissed

It always existed

[nouverx]

*proceeds to drink the whole bottle*

Yeah Alastor you're gonna be loved and appreciated wether you want it or not :)

[lesbianshepard]

while frustrating, the funniest response to historical erasure of same sex couples is people wildly overcorrecting and assuming any interaction between two men in history was a secret homosexual relationship covered up by Big Historian. i saw someone on r/sapphoandherfriend sincerely ask if Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were lovers.

[annabelle--cane]

I think all dating norms need to get like 30% more aspec and polyamorous and everyone in the universe would be so much happier

[demigods-posts]

headcanon that percy and annabeth have a relationship contract they made after they got together once the war came to pass. they outlined it on paper in percy's bedroom. typed up a final draft using sally's laptop. and printed out and laminated it at the local library on their two month anniversary. and they abide by it like it's the law.

[turtleofthehollow]

I need someone to write fanfiction of Lucifer and Alastor making a deal, but Luci botches the wording of the deal so bad that they end up married instead, and neither of them know how to break the deal, so they're just stuck like this until further notice

You can't tell me it wouldn't be in character for him!

UPDATE: It has been written! Check out the reblogs for the link!

[go-fornicate-yourself]

Every day I am in the trenches fighting for my life defending this poor man. He was going through so much and people online demonize him and say he's as bad as his abuser

(I've got a lot of thoughts about this so I'll make sure to separate things to make it easier to look at lol)

Curly is a victim of abuse. Jimmy is his abuser. This is something that I feel a lot of people tend to brush over or don't acknowledge it often.

And I'm not just talking about post-crash. Jimmy's abuse of Curly is there pre-crash too. The party scene where the crew learns about the company going under is a huge example of this. Jimmy verbally abuses him, he gaslights him, he blames him for their (his) misfortune. Jimmy accuses Curly of thinking he's better than everyone (better than him), that he doesn't care about them (about him). That he's going leave them (leave him). Which is not true. Curly tries to explain himself but Jimmy shuts him down and he just takes it.

The fact that he just allows this to happen makes it seem like he's used to this... That this kind of behavior is a recurring thing with Jimmy. And the fact that nobody else tries to defend him or stands up to Jimmy just normalizes it for him. When Anya tells Curly what Jimmy did it catches him off guard. Bc he genuinely didn't think that his friend was capable of that. It wasn't something that was obvious to him. There were absolutely many red flags in the past but they were subtle enough for him to not see them bc he cares for Jimmy, he trusts him. Jimmy's the only one he feels he can open up to, who he can let his guard down with. Jimmy's his home. That's how close they are.

Because of this deep love for his friend and the subtlety of Jimmy's cruelty, he doesn't see the constant verbal and emotional abuse as what it is: abuse. Which is why he finds Jimmy's abuse towards Anya so shocking and jarring.

He isn't a man covering for his rapist friend bc of the 'bro code'. It does look like that from a certain angle and it's understandable why people see it that way but that's not what his character is really about as much as it makes sense otherwise.

He's essentially a battered housewife who's still in love with her husband but is realizing for the first time that the man she loves is a monster. That the man she loves and devoted her life to has been hurting her this whole time and she didn't even realize it. That the man she loves and spent so much of her life caring for has gone and hurt someone else. That he's most likely hurt others before and she's been utterly unaware of it the entire time she defended him and made excuses for him when he wasn't the best or the fairest or the most responsible or when he screwed up yet again solely bc of how much she loved and cared for him.

And Curly barely had any time to process ANY of that before Jimmy decided to try and kill them all to avoid the consequences of his actions. It was ultimately a selfish act even if he thought he wasn't just doing it for himself. Jimmy is selfish and needs to be in control or he loses it. He cares for Curly. He loves him. Curly's done so much for him. Curly's the only one who understands him, who doesn't hate him. Curly's his home. He resents how 'successful' he is but that's only bc he thinks so highly of him. He constantly puts himself down and put Curly on a pedestal and worships him while simultaneously mistreating him.

He treats his best friend like shit, he's awful to him. But he's not aware that this is the case or maybe he's in denial about it. He can't or just refuses to see how he's doing all of what he does for himself in the end. He justifies his attempt to kill them all (to himself and to Curly) by claiming he's doing this for them both. That if they were to get back to earth it would all be Curly's fault, that it'll ruin his life and career... despite the fact he had basically nothing to do with Anya's abuse. Jimmy's shifting the blame on him while acting like he cares for him. Well, he does genuinely care for him but clearly not nearly enough to not mistreat him or use him as a scapegoat for his own guilt.

Jimmy is the rapist, Jimmy is the one who does all of these horrible things. And yet it's highly likely that Curly would just blame all of it on himself bc that's exactly what Jimmy did to him. He's in so deep he can't see the facts of the situation.

It takes abuse victims so long to come to terms with their abuse. It takes time and reflection to see things with an unbiased and healthy perspective. Abuse (especially years of it) isn't just something you can just escape. It consumes you and can twist your reality. Curly had about a week or less to process all of it and then take action in a way that protected his crew and abided by Pony Express' guidelines. Dealing with something this serious in a setting that makes resolving it extremely difficult in a practical sense is already hard.

There were no locks on any of the doors except for medical and the cockpit. They couldn't just kill him. There was nowhere they could detain Jimmy that wouldn't involve corporate potentially penalizing the entire group. They could have used the cryopods but then there'd only be three available for any actual emergency and there were already five crew members and four pods in total. Also, I doubt corporate would be 'okay' with them using the cryopods for anything other than their intended purpose. Hell, even if they were able to make it back to earth without any incidents there's a good chance that corporate would consider the situation 'poor team synergy' and collectively punish the entire crew for Jimmy's actions.

So on top of having to deal with an already difficult situation, Curly has to grapple with the realization that Jimmy a: abused Anya, b: has been abusing him as well (for a very long time too), and c: has probably abused others before Anya and he had no idea about it. He needed to act but he didn't and it doomed all of them.

But it's so unrealistic (maybe even cruel) to put that much pressure on someone, force them through an utterly earth-shattering realization, and then expect them to do the correct/right/responsible thing in that moment. It's a little ironic how people vilify him for that when other characters do the same thing that nobody blames for it.

Anya is the ship's nurse. Curly is the ship's captain. They both have duties and responsibilities on board the Tulpar. She has to keep the crew healthy and safe and is the only one with enough medical knowledge to do so. He has to make sure that everything goes well and goes according to procedure. He's responsible for the crew, the cargo, and even the ship itself. Both positions are integral and require a lot of responsibility to do properly

They're both put through distressing and traumatic situations where due to them being human people with emotions and fears that make them essentially avoid their responsibility/doing what's required of them.

Curly has a freeze response and doesn't act when he should have when it was crucial to have done so. Anya has a fawn response and essentially puts her patient in danger and harm's way. She knew full well what Jimmy was capable of. She experienced it herself and she witnessed it happening to Curly as well. And yet she allows Jimmy to be alone with Curly while being fully aware of how dangerous he is. Which she shouldn't have, that wasn't the 'right' thing to do. Keeping him safe was her responsibility.

But Anya's human. She's going through a lot at the moment. She's terrified of Jimmy and she's trying to appease him so he doesn't hurt her again. It's a natural very understandable thing to do even if it's not the 'right' or 'responsible' thing. They failed each other when they needed each other most and I think that's the most tragic part of it. If anything, all of them failed each other in some way, shape, or form.

So it's incredibly frustrating to see people give Anya so much sympathy and grace for doing something so human yet still 'wrong' but then turn around and give Curly none of that for doing essentially the same thing she does.

I don't know for sure if it's actually because Curly is a man or if it's only part of it or maybe some people just lack that sense of awareness but it's depressing and frustrating as fuck as a male victim of sexual violence and abuse to see this kind of behavior and this much victim blaming towards a character who is undeniably a victim of abuse like I am.
