#anti barson

[sapphichahn]

nothing hurts me more than watching a really good edit be immediately ruined bc the editor took an obviously, not up for interpretation queer song and put it over a straight pairing (as a ship)

i.e. sailor song with olivia benson and barba

I know I'm late to this discussion, but I so agree with your post about Barson and Liv being in love with him. I feel like that's why she felt so betrayed by him. And what he said to her about how she feels more anger toward him than she ever did/does with Elliot, I think, and I could be wrong is because unlike with Elliot, she was fully starting to fall in love with Barba. Whereas with Elliot I feel like she's never let herself fully fall all in with him. And that's why Barba's betrayal hurt her so much worse. Idek if this makes any sense. lol

The feeling of betrayal runs deeper when it comes to Barba because she has certain expectations of him, and because her feelings for him are complex.

She's always had to look down at Stabler (even when she admired him) because she had to keep him in check, while Barba was who she looked up to, and the fact that he did something she perceived as wrong feels 100 times worse for her.

Stabler has always failed her, Barba never has. There is a lack of expectations on one side, and a surplus in the other.

In my mind, Rita Calhoun is like anti-barson, not because she’s jealous or anything. If she wanted Rafael in that way, she could’ve had him. She hates his white knight syndrome, the way he always needs to save the damsel in distress, especially when that damsel hurts him. So, she’s anti-barson, and she’s anti-Olivia Benson because Olivia is destroying Rafael, and Rafael is letting her.

Incorrect quotes of Flowey, Frisk, Clover and myself as a self insert for some god damn reason.

**Frisk:** Dude, we can get mythical animals! Maybe I’ll get a penguin!

**Flowey:** Eat shit and die, Nat!!!

**Nat:** Eat shit and live, Flowey.

**Nat:** Hey, do you know anyone who can teach me to play the trumpet?

**Flowey:** Why?

**Nat:** I want to wander around playing it to annoy Clover.

**Flowey:** Technically, you don’t actually need to know how to play the trumpet well for that.

**Nat:** Flowey, you have opened my eyes.

**Frisk:** How was your day, Flowey?

**Flowey:** Yeah, fine, it's anti-bullying week at school.

**Frisk:** Oh? And what does that mean?

**Flowey:** It means I can't bully anyone for a whole week.

**Flowey, to the squad:** And remember, if I get harsh with you it is only because you’re doing it all wrong.

**Flowey:** I wish I could help you, but I shorn’t.

**Nat:** Flowey, please!

**Flowey:** What part of shorn’t don’t you understand?

**Nat:** *sharpens knife* We've got ways of making people talk.

**Nat:** *cuts piece of cake*

**Frisk:** ...Can I have some?

**Nat:** Cake is for talkers.

**Clover:** Why would you think any of this was a good idea?

**Flowey:** Probably because I’m a dangerous sociopath with a long history of violence.

**Clover:**

**Flowey:** I don’t know how you keep forgetting this.

**Clover:** What time is it?

**Nat:** I don’t know, pass me that saxaphone and we’ll find out

**Frisk:** I can’t do this, it’s against my moral compass.

**Clover:** YOUR MORAL COMPASS IS A ROULETTE WHEEL!

**Frisk:** …Your point?

**Frisk:** I let my cat drink the bathtub water while I was in it.

**Priest:** Once again, kind of weird, but not a sin.

Excellent that this post comes across my dash right after I watched Matt Baume's excellent video on Anthony Perkins. If you don't have an hour to kill on this video (you should watch it and all of Baume's videos on queer pop culture), I can do my best to summarize.

Anthony Perkins was deeply in the closet for the vast majority of his life. He struggled with trying to live in the shadow of his father (a famed stage actor) who has passed when Anthony was young while also feeling pressure from the studios who had him under contract to be as straight as possible.

Some of his friends called him, "the most tortured person about his sexuality I've ever known." He was partially picked to play his iconic role as Norman Bates specifically because he was a "shy, sensitive young man who was trying to a horrible secret."

One of the few times Perkins was remotely out was when he was dating actor Tab Hunter, in that time his studio publicist would set him up with bearded dates, including double date with Tab who the studio also wanted to portray as a heterosexual heartthrob.

After the role of Norman almost ruined his career and a whirlwind romance with Stephen Sondheim, Anthony realized what he wanted more than anything was to live a normal life with a house and kids and a loving partner. Perkins decided to see an anti-gay psychiatrist named Mildred Newman who subscribed to Irving Bieber's idea that gay people were incapable of love and commitment and specialized in ex-gay conversion therapy.

Perkins meet Barry Barson, a photographer who worked with Andy Warhol, and soon settled down and started a family, all while having secret love affairs with men on the side for decades. The secrecy weighed heavily on him and was really only expressed on screen through his return to the Norman Bates character in the Psycho sequels and his work on AIDS activism.

So, while, yes. Anthony Perkins has this amazing list to his name, he was in fact deeply conflicted on his sexuality and spent most of his years back in the closet trying to live a "normal" heterosexual life. It's a key part of the story of his life, and is honestly kind of tragic that it is swept over like this.

there is not one name on this list that isn’t a lifetime achievement of fucking

I don’t ship Barson and maybe I’ve read one too many fanfic where there is a Original Character that adores Rafael without all the headache but I just feel like he needs to thrive. He’s been through a lot and this whole love triangle I hate. I really hate Elliott and Rafael was completely justified in defending Richard Whitley because Liv and Elliott broke the law and framed him murder like… I dunno. As much as I love Rafael and Raul and want him to be on the show I feel like Barba has out grown SUV and the Liv being the centre of the universe.

Feel free to disagree l.

[qvid-pro-qvo]

☕️ barson?

mmmmmmm… kinda yes and no.

so with barson here’s the thing: i like reading fics about them, i think they’re both hot and i love them both dearly, but at the end of the day, from what we see in the show they would NOT have worked out, ultimately.

there are definitely some moments that show us they cared for each other and some moments that hinted at something more (found family, that moment where he gets all tense about liv and tucker sleeping together) BUT, ultimately their chemistry for me was overridden by olivia benson character choices: say, her in community policing, or moments later when he kinda bends to her whim rather than focusing on what the law should push him to do, which he kinda says himself in the finale.

but i do think pre-community policing and like… in theory, and fics, and fun stuff like that, yes.

send me a ☕️ and a topic and i’ll give my opinion.

[gins-potter]

Ooof see now I’m just thinking about how this episode might have gone if Barba was still around. Cause we know he would have been a salty sarcastic little shit the entire time.

OTP + Character Ask @anneowl2803 Barson

3. Are they into PDA? Who initiates most?

Okay, so if they get together whole Rafael still worked at the DA’s office, then they are firmly anti-PDA at work, even if they’ve already disclosed. Neither of them want to appear impartial or biased, so everything is done by the book. The most PDA they’ll show is light comforting touches on each other’s shoulders or holding hands, and Barba almost always initiates it. Partially because he just always wants to touch her, he wants to be in her orbit at all times, but also because he knows how hard it is for her to ask for comfort and intimacy.

If they get together post-undiscovered country, they are probably the most sickening couple to ever exist. Between the light comforting touches and handholding, there’s the smoldering kisses they share as Rafael drops Liv off at work, and the way his hands are always touching some part of her when she’s in reach. Again, Rafael initiates, he genuinely can’t keep his hands off her, and she loves that about him.

Send Me Barson/SVU Character/Ship Asks

[phoenixwrites]

Normally I am very much "ship and let ship" and I actually do like the ship in concept and in most fanfic, but.... bitter, salty #Barisi tinhats can drink their own tears. #Barson is real and it's happening.

I’ll be real, I have no idea how other fans and ships interact with each other in the SVU fandom.  I’m guessing from this Barisi fans are less than thrilled with recent developments?  And have been expressing thus irritation?  (I do not care for the ship and am very pleased that they’re going in a Rollisi direction. I never liked Nick and Amanda, but I think Carisi is PERFECT for her.)

Well, I have no idea.  All I can say, is that if it keeps going down the road I think it’s going down, I will be fucking DELIGHTED.  The setups just keep getting more and more blatant.  

[ahumanfemale]

Why is no one allowed to be in a room with Rafael anymore unless Olivia is present?

[freckledgirly]

When B*rson shippers (not all of them, obviously) bitch and say Barisi isn't real, it just goes to show that they see what we Barisi shippers see: the sexual tension, chemistry, and great relationship between Barisi. They feel the need to convince themselves and others that there's nothing there between Barisi because they know that there IS something there.
