#aside from the jealousy

[nnnneeev]

how do you think solomon would react to mc saying something posessive? he's shown to be posessive in nightbringer, so it'd be interesting to see him on the receiving end. like if mc said something like "i'm yours, and you are mine" to him, i think outwardly he would be chill and laugh, but internally, he's proposing

OHOHO i love this idea 👀

i feel like he would be taken aback, but it won't take too long for him to process what you just said. he'd be all giddy inside. could you say it again? he wants to make sure he's not mishearing things. if it were other people, he'd be weirded out, but you're a special case. he wants you just as much as you want him.

See, I think Charles’ annoyance and frustration with the Cat King really was just pure protectiveness and not any kind of jealousy - it’s understandable, because Edwin is not telling him what happened even though something clearly did, which is not typical for them. Edwin doesn’t usually hide things like this! Of course he’s worried!

Charles’ reaction to Monty, on the other hand, is difficult to explain in a way that isn’t jealousy. You could say he’s being protective again, but Charles shows no sign of distrust in Monty, and had no idea of who Monty was or that he might betray them - he was actually very chill with him, except in a select few specific scenes. You could say he just doesn’t like him because he got brushed off during their first meeting, but not only does that not seem like Charles at all, it also doesn’t make sense, since, again, in most instances, Charles is genuinely friendly and is happy when Monty compliments him and seems to have come around to liking him (it completely flies over his head that this is a petty jab at Edwin on Monty’s part but oh well hahaha). You could say it changes up their status quo a bit and that bothers Charles. I do think this bothers him a bit, but I think, unlike Edwin, Charles’ fear and frustration here is directed more at situations (the Cat King whisking him away for several hours, as an example) than others. He’s sociable and likes being able to talk to new people. There’s absolutely no way he’d begrudge Edwin doing the same - and he doesn’t… with Niko. Edwin and Niko hit it off and become very close and that never bothers Charles at all. He’s incredibly endeared to her, just like the rest, and for the most part, he’s chill with Monty too, and smiles pretty knowingly when Edwin confesses to him having awakened some feelings. The only exceptions, where he shows definite annoyance, are when Monty first shows up and gets really in Edwin’s personal space to show him the astrology chart he made, and when Edwin is so sucked into the book Monty gave him that he doesn’t hear that Charles is talking to him, to which he annoyedly says that they seem to have been “spending a lot of time together”.

You could say he’s unused to having anyone get in Edwin’s personal space like that, but, again, Niko. She’s very tactile with him and he doesn’t seem to mind all that much; they spend time together watching things. If it was just someone getting close with Edwin in general, not only would that be weirdly possessive for the character, but it would also mean he would show discomfort with anyone getting close, I think. Does Charles see Monty as more of a potential threat than Niko, seeing as he knows her and her personality and doesn’t know Monty? Well, maybe, but again, Charles shows no sign of distrusting Monty at all.

Monty is a boy. Okay. So something about seeing Edwin so close to a boy that is not him, getting lost in thought over something this boy gave him, really rubs Charles the wrong way. Charles appears to catch on just as quickly as anyone else that there is something (or it looks like something) between Edwin and Monty. He is not surprised when Edwin comes out to him in episode 6, and in fact, seems to have just been waiting for him to verbalize it. He smiles and is not bothered at all by Edwin showing (what he thinks is) a romantic interest in Monty - he just doesn’t like it when Monty clearly shows a romantic interest in Edwin. Um. Well. Well.

Charles is jealous. I really don’t know what else to say.

Look, when I first watched this show, I actually didn’t want them to end up together romantically - I love the idea of one having fallen in love with another who does not reciprocate and the two of them still loving each other just as much. That Edwin’s confession made them closer instead of making things awkward is such a beautiful outcome to this build up and I absolutely love it. However. On my two rewatches, I caught a lot more little details, and I think it would be very strange if the show did not follow up on this. That, plus the deliberate quality of these “jealousy” moments where the camera focuses on him, Charles’ Orpheus coding throughout the show, the fact that Edwin’s arc was far more about realizing his feelings for Charles specifically than just coming to terms with his sexuality, and that even the actors admit that Charles’ response to the confession kind of left things open, it really seems to me like the path leads to a romantic endgame for them, or at the very least, that this possibility will be explored in more depth.

**This is just my reading of it. Please do not use this post as a gotcha for anyone who loves them as a platonic duo or people who really love Crystal and Charles together (because let’s face it, they’re super cute too). I’m just doing my rambles. As per usual.

"There are moments where [Juan] manipulates other people in a similar the way they’ve been manipulating him. The scene between Jeremy and myself with the dagger is a last ditch frantic attempt at trying to win [Rodrigo] over." Do you think Juan was genuine in the knife scene? Do you think he would have killed himself? "Yeah I think so. He always does what is true inside him...It wasn’t simply about the eventual confrontation, but all about the richness of this twisted family make-up."

can i be so fr i like jason and damian as a brother duo more than Dick and Damian

i feel like people have taken ‘Dick stepped up to take Bruce’s place” and warped it in to “Dick is a father” and i particularly am not fond of when they start to lean toward “Dick is Damian’s REAL dad he actually loved and cared about him”

it starts to feel like it’s overlooking the fact that Damian very much is loved by his mom and dad and he also has Ra’s and Alfred, as grandparents and that makes me sad idk

so i’ve just kind of switched over to thinking about Jason and Damian as a duo instead. jason who lets damian tag along and is like “i’m not your dad idgaf what you do just don’t get in the way or mess me up”. they argue all the time because damian is 10 and annoying as fuck (as ten year olds tend to be) but jason still takes the time to get him a kids meal from bat burger on the way home because that annoying little shit is still his baby brother, etc

Gale knows his anger at Madge is misdirected. On other days, deep in the woods, I’ve listened to him rant about how the tesserae are just another tool to cause misery in our district. A way to plant hatred between the starving workers of the Seam and those who can generally count on supper and thereby ensure we will never trust one another. “It’s to the Capitol’s advantage to have us divided among ourselves,” he might say if there were no ears to hear but mine. If it wasn’t reaping day. If a girl with a gold pin and no tesserae had not made what I’m sure she thought was a harmless comment.

As we walk, I glance over at Gale’s face, still smoldering underneath his stony expression. His rages seem pointless to me, although I never say so. It’s not that I don’t agree with him. I do. But what good is yelling about the Capitol in the middle of the woods? It doesn’t change anything. It doesn’t make things fair. It doesn’t fill our stomachs. In fact, it scares off the nearby game. I let him yell though. Better he does it in the woods than in the district.

Gale isn’t blaming the Merchants for the division: he is correctly identifying that the Merchant/Seam divide is a Capitol created division to distract the district citizens from the real enemy.

reddit story again. why do some ppl marry widows & then make everything abt themself. like yeah, you ARE her second choice actually, bc her first choice DIED. she loved someone before you & she wants to hold onto those memories bc you dont just stop loving someone when they pass & you need to be ok with that

she had a very special, very sentimental engagement ring she likes to wear as a necklace & its unique, ppl are gonna ask abt it. you cant go & get jealous when she says it was an engagement ring from her late husband. you cant give her permission to wear it & then get mad when someone asks abt it

to hide her ring & throw her into a panic attack thinking she lost one of the only things she has left of her deceased partner is Cruel. dont try to justify your behavior by saying "well it couldve gotten lost or broken any other time" & act like you made a good point. shes not staying with you anymore bro
