Since you're the most multi of multishippers I know (I actually love that - it makes your blog interesting and reflects a very open mind!), here's a ship ranking challenge for you involving a lot of the same people: Mola, Sola, Maya/Cam, Maya/Zig, Maya/Miles, Klare, Eclare, Alli/Dallas, Alli/Dave, Jazel, Jellie. I had like 50 other ships in mind but already forgot them because my memory is a disaster these days. Anyway, the challenge here is that no ties are allowed :) Have fun!

Omg ty! I’m honored to have that title! And wow this is even harder than your previous one!

1. Camaya (so pure and sweet)

2. Eclare (loves <3)

3. Bhandallas (I love them sm)

4. Bhandurner (they were so amazing together)

5. Sola (in my feelings are them)

6. Mola (so much chemistry)

7. Jazel (I’ve grown to like them even more. They could’ve have been the perfect endgame.)

8. Zaya (it’s complicated as you know haha)

9. Klare (they were a cute first love ship)

10. Jellie (If Hazel/Jazel wasn’t disrespected & Ellie actually liked Jimmy back, they’d be cute.)

I was so disappointed with Leviathan design. I was hoping they would be a type of antagonist cause you know envy? So lame.

EXACTLY! I was hoping, HOPING the design would be something cool... But no, no she's just a suburban white blonde mom. Why couldn't the purple head be the only head? That would've at least made me neutral on it!!!!!! Because at least ITS SOMETHING! and not just a citizen bg character :/ but even then the bg characters have more interesting complex designs then this and that is fucking sad

Imagine if instead of whatever s4 was we got Five being the reason for the apocalypse. Everything he worked for years to protect was his fault in the end. Or maybe it's nine pm on a school night and I have a sinus infection.

Now here’s my TSITP take that no one asked for but I finally caught up to it out of boredom and while I am not invested in any pairing and couldn’t care less about the endgame, there’s some things I’ve seen (particularly in this site) and surely I’m not the only one with this opinion because Jeremiah being considered a healthier or better alternative for Belly is legit so wrong.

I can understand why some people would prefer Jeremiah because on the outside he looks like someone that could make Belly happier since he isn’t “complicated” but him being painted as the healthier alternative to Conrad is like, wrong, Jeremiah has alarming red flags that are often ignored by his supposedly “golden retriever” persona and that’s often way more damaging long term.

The constant anger and resentment issues that results of him feeling inferior to Conrad, often seeing their entire dynamic like a competition that extends to Belly, that has been clear by his actions and narrative. I’m shocked people on this fandom pretend this isn’t a clear narrative choice. He often speaks about how Conrad is perceived as the smart one, the athletic one, the responsable one, and in general the favorite child. Of course, he gets annoyed that Belly might be into him too. It’s always been more about Conrad than it is about Belly. He projects a lot of the insecurities he feels towards Conrad on Belly. He constantly feels the need to remind her “he is the better option” out of not reason and it feels like he is looking for the moment Conrad fails or mess up as if he is counting the scores. Him only making a definitive move on Belly after he sees Belly and Conrad almost kissing — and then he fires a rocket to stop them. I see this being a whole comedic discourse but that’s a major red flag. He cannot possibly have a healthy relationship with her if he feels like he constantly needs to measure up to Conrad. After that 4th of July episode, it’s very easy to see him trying to manipulate and sabotage Conrad with Belly and purposefully make him run late. And he does so intentionally. He knows he is being sneaky. He knows he is inserting himself in there. And I’m not saying he doesn’t like Belly, he does, but why denying that his main motivator isn’t his own bother.

Now, I’m not saying Conrad isn’t also annoying. He was written as the early 00’s broody type of bad boy and I feel the series it’s trying to fix it by showing more of him but it lacks in writing. I feel he needed more polishing to take him out of the archetype. However, Conrad’s approach narratively makes sense. It’s not like he’s being that just by pure aesthetic. Jeremiah thought out Season 1 is living a complete different reality as Conrad. So, of course he feels more laidback and funny. He doesn’t know his mom is dying. He doesn’t know his dad cheated on his mother. Only Conrad knows that. Of course, it would affect his behavior to the point he is emotionally detached. Even the narrative itself tells you Conrad usually isn’t this emotionally constipated or disengaging, and that smoking is also a new behavior. The constant need to make him feel like a villain is so weird because he is clearly depressed and self isolating. Both in Season 1 and throughout Season 2. It’s called grieving the death of your mother. All of them have their own ways of dealing with their grief.

And the funny this is — Conrad knows he isn’t in the right mental state to be with Belly right now. He tries, cause you’re allowed to be happy while depressed but he clearly wasn’t able to handle the grieving process, so he puts Belly’s happiness (or what he thinks she needs) over his own cause he doesn’t think he can provide her with what she needs at the moment (and he is right about that!). He isn’t problematic. I am confused about this. Particularly because while I think he could be clearer with Belly, most of it it’s not his fault entirely. And I’ve been told that by the end of the series, Conrad isn’t the same person he was at the start. He is a mature and emotionally open young man with a medical career that he loves that has learned to deal with grief. And those are very qualities you already see on the show.

Mind you, Jeremiah’s anger and resentment towards Conrad is totally valid and I feel is more on Susannah’s and his dad upbringing that just created that animosity but isn’t it the reason why people perceive Jeremiah as a ”healthier” alternative more to do with the fact his “red flags” aren’t as visible and Conrad’s grieving process is not that “palatable” to audiences?

And the love triangle isn’t even about who is better for Belly — this is a journey about grief that frankly should’ve been the core of the story. The way I see it, Conrad’s grieving process is self isolation. Jeremiah’s grieving process is anger. And Belly’s grieving process is denial. And the majority of the time Belly is reading Conrad’s feelings as him not being as into her as she is — which is untrue. Conrad’s problem is not knowing how to communicate those emotions to her. And Belly’s swimming in insecurities that she projects on Conrad. And she’s also a people pleaser and that has been very obvious on her coddling of Jeremiah. At the end of the day, I will always root for the female character getting the one she truly loves and that clearly isn’t Jeremiah. He isn’t the love of her life and this isn’t some story about second love. It’s about two people not being ready to be together for specific circumstances. Jeremiah is the one that was going to lose here. He inserted himself into this mess. He knows Belly and Conrad will always exist in some capacity that he’ll never be able to measure. He knows his brother loves her. And he knows Belly’s lying to herself about Conrad. So, why is he continuing a game that he knows he’s bound to lose? I genuinely believe that he knows how it will end so it’s going to be hard for me to feel bad for him when the inevitable thing happens.

And I’m also over the whole “Conrad was away while Jeremiah took care of their dying mother!” because that’s not an objective take. Conrad was at university studying to become a doctor. He should not be fault for trying to seek some normalcy after keeping most of the secret himself for months. Jeremiah wasn’t handling those bills himself. Laurel was also legit there the entire time. And I’m sure they also hired a caregiver. Instead of putting the blame and responsibility on teenagers — you should be wondering where was their own father, because divorce isn’t an excuse to not take care of your kids. And the show would benefit from making them build a better relationship as brothers than focusing on a “love triangle” that has a very definitive endgame, hence isn’t surprising.

X-Files OctoberFicFest Day 11: Sandwich

This year, I'm using the October 2022 prompts from @artpromptcal.

"Top five sandwiches."

"Mulder, I don't remember a single sandwich I've eaten."

"Not a singular sandwich in the bunch?"

"Whatever greasy breakfast food you can stuff into a bagel to soothe a hangover. I don't think that counts."

"The platonic ideal of a sandwich. Singular only in its universality. Nourishes the convalescent body and the bewildered, booze-soaked mind. Also a cop out."

"But you can easily recall five sandwiches so incredible that they're indelibly etched into your memories?"

"Five: pb&j on white bread the only time it was ever warm enough to play pickup baseball on my birthday."

"Strawberry?"

"Grape. Obviously, Scully."

"Bill hated grape."

"That explains everything about him. Four: my first real Reuben at a New York deli."

"Naturally."

"Naturally. Three: a French dip in a pub after I got lost on some English seaside walk that was supposed to be easy."

"They know how to walk, the English."

"Mad about it. Two: merguez on a baguette in Paris. "

"Merguez?"

"It's a North African sausage. Lamb and harissa. A fiery personality, much like yourself."

"A singular compliment, in that I have never received it before."

"Those who have eyes to see, Scully."

"What's the number one sandwich?"

"Where's your patience? You can't be tired of merguez already. I've got a killer couscous recipe."

"I must have left it at the last gas station."

"Lest I stoke that fire, I will tell thee anon. Number one is a certain notable sandwich of liverwurst fashioned. Humble, and yet: that sandwich saved my life."

"You didn't even eat that sandwich."

"No, but it enabled me to survive to eat more sandwiches. So in a way, it was fate."

"I would say I didn't take you for a sandwich sentimentalist, but we both know that's not true."

"You can take me anywhere, Scully."

"I'm not sure that's the way that goes."

"You'd be surprised."

"Anyway. I'm glad you're a connoisseur of liverwurst. Maybe that's my number one sandwich."

"We can share it."

Jelly Beans and Kidney Beans Still Hates Trump

Now people are excusing Papa Archeron?? Are you people for real?

Also I don't think people realize their excuses for him actually come across as slightly ableist. Disabled people are not useless. He had a bad knee, that does not mean he could do nothing.

He's fully capable of doing things when they have money so get t'fuck. He was useless from the beginning, it is not because of his disability. He allowed the physical and emotional abuse of Nesta, he neglected Nesta and Feyre, he allowed and participated in the grooming of Nesta, and this is all pre poverty.

As someone who is disabled and actually has a father who is similarly disabled to Papa Archeron, I can absolutely give the slightest, and I mean slightest, bit of leeway to him. In a sense that becoming disabled on top of losing their money most likely sent him down a spiral that was hard to dig himself out of. I think most disabled people have felt like that at some point, especially in the beginning if it's something you didn't previously have, but jesus come on. The man has zero backbone, zero drive, when you have children especially you dig yourself out of that hole and you do what you can. I'm not looking for some Herculean effort, he doesn't have to be perfect but at the very least you try, you show some gratitude for what they're doing, you don't act like they don't exist.

Let's be real, his failings really have nothing to do with his disability. It's all about the money for people like him. When it's gone he is completely unable to accept it and is always focused on regaining it while doing nothing to actually fulfill that. He's all talk and no action. He neglects his children entirely and relies on Feyre for food and money and Nesta to care for the house and Elain and find suitors.

I will never ever blame either Feyre or Nesta for the way they treat/speak to each other in that cabin. They are young girls in poverty, they're starving, they're cold, they have a useless parent and a dead parent and they have the weight of the world on their shoulders. I've been there. They are not going to be sweet to each other, it is not all rainbows and unicorns and ooh la di da they should all bake bread and sing in their little cottage. They are frustrated and angry and scared 24/7 and in constant survival mode. But I do blame Papa Archeron 100%, fully and completely.

Someone tried to compare him to Elain because she tries to see the beauty in the bleakness of their life but honestly that is an insult to Elain. He didn't see the beauty, he was just greedy and a useless sack of jelly when he didn't have the ambition to match his greed.

And don't even get me started on his bullshit narcissistic stunt with the ships?? That's a whole post in itself. I actually hate that man to the point I wish SJM gave him a name because he doesn't deserve to be called Papa

My gays

Pasha likes Boris

[piperslovebot]

People I ship Ellie with: Sean, Paige, Ashley, Alex, Independence

People I don’t ship Ellie with: Jimmy (if they’re weren’t a plot device, leading to Jazel/Hazel being fucked over, and only for her to not like him back, I’d be down), Marco (he’s canonically gay ffs), Craig (do I even need to explain this one)

[escapismqueen]

Okay but how do I contact Jenny Han and beg for a jelly endgame because I’m literally unwell about this 🤣

[yamishika]

Jellal keeps getting the most L’s in the series since his name is made up of half of them.

It was always going to be like this.

[antiendovents]

trying not to sob because i already have identity issues (duh) and being around endos has made me struggle so much more, especially with system stuff. splitting, trauma, retheming and general name and identity things. i can’t stick to one thing anymore and feel comfortable in myself because im so used to having to have things be “aesthetic” or based of current popular medias.

not to mention the one time i made progress with myself and as a system a few endos harassed us and sent us spiralling and back a few months of work. now i can’t find a point to try make that effort again and have even less of a sense of self then normal or i’ve had in years

-🍇jelly

I'm so sorry about that jelly. Endos suck and you don't deserve that harassment. I don't have much advice to give and I'm sorry about that, but you are valid and I hope that you can some day be able to find yourself and be comfortable in your sense of self. Remember to stay safe <3 (/platonic)

[rachemchul]

I'm just going to randomly post tsitp thoughts as I process them, just be ready.

How funny is that Jeremiah literally flirts with Belly and drapes his whole body over Belly ALL the time infront of Conrad and gets no reaction from Conrad but the moment Jeremiah sees Conrad and Belly speak or even walk in to a room together he pouts and acts like a jerk.

Conrad is Belly's ex-boyfriend. Jeremiah, you made out with her a couple of times and Conrad didn't even know that when he kissed Belly the first time.

Be for real.
