Turns out, trying to explain a rare and misunderstood disorder to someone that you

1. crave comfort and validation from

2. but also know to be very ignorant even at the best of times

can blow up in your face spectacularly.

Who knew?

Elain stans have such a weird relationship with Nuala and Cerridwen and I genuinely can't tell if they just choose not to look at the optics of that dynamic or what...

like is any other show going to make me wander around my kitchen for 30 minutes rambling on and on and on a la podcast-style about why the reunion scene was so beautiful and transcendent on some random thursday evening.

ooooo max (or literally Anyone Else) ooooo you want to capitilize off that passion so bad. you want to SO so bad. you want to realize that there's still so much fire and excitement left in the fanbase and that we'd follow you to the ends of the earth ooooooooo.

the difference between zosopp and sanuso (romantic OR platonic) is that Usopp is Zoro's specialest little guy and Zoro is someone Usopp hangs out with and looks up to and hides behind when things get scary, but Sanji and Usopp are best friends. They horse around, they beat each other up, they confide their worst fears trying to one up each other. Usopp hides behind Sanji sometimes, sure, but idk, Sanji's weaknesses are more obvious (bugs, fighting women, etc) so there are times when Usopp has to stand in front of Sanji too, yknow?

Like, how do I say this, all the crewmates are equal- Usopp and Zoro are equals- but with Sanji it feels like more... comradery? Zoro's a rock in a terrible storm- even rocks tend to get weathered and chipped and worn down, but they overall stay strong and steady. He has trouble being vulnerable and there are times when the burden he's placed on himself to keep the crew safe is crushing his chest. Usopp would help with that and be very understanding, but the point I'm trying to get with that is that those moments are few and far between. So I feel like Usopp, especially after Water 7, would take Zoro's lead on something like that, and keep most of his worries to himself or only talk about them sparingly unless they're really bad and/or he can't hide them.

Sanji is like a tree in a storm; he can be strong, yes, but it feels like he bends and sways with the storm, and has more obvious breaking points. He can relate more to Usopp's struggles rather than resorting to blunt honesty that might border on callous like Zoro. And while, with Zosopp, I tend to think of scenarios with Zoro being blunt like that as a good thing- because sometimes when you're spiraling, it's nice to have someone say exactly what's great about you and shoot down all your worries with straight facts that you can't argue with- I can also see this as being a bad thing. Anxiety can really twist up your brain sometimes, you know? And despite the words, the tone could still mess someone up if they're already feeling like a burden on others in some way.

With Sanuso it's a lot more understanding and thoughtful words. It's distractions and comfort food and patience- the kind reserved for Usopp- until Usopp talks about whatever's troubling him. Compared to Zosopp, it doesn't take as long for Usopp to open up, since he's done the same thing to Sanji at times and it's more familiar to him to talk and commiserate with Sanji about his worries and doubts and such. However, there are times stuff like this has absolutely no effect and Sanji will end up at a loss, no idea what to do or how to help over the course of several days with Usopp being quiet and keeping his distance, and he'll end up working himself up about it which will only serve to make Usopp feel worse and. yeah. bit of a vicious cycle with them.

So it's like. Usopp can be weak with both of them, but since I see Sanji as the type of guy who'd be more open with his worries (at least compared to Zoro), there's less of a need to 'perform' and be his best self around him. He's comfortable around Zoro, yes, but he is constantly wanting to show that he won't be a problem to him. On the other hand, while he's more open with Sanji, and Sanji with him, they tend to relate a bit too much with each other and they both have issues with causing trouble for others and being 'deserving of love' so failed attempts at consoling one hurts the other and creates an unpleasant cycle of misery and avoidance before some other crewmate (Zoro) tells them to quit being stupid and just fucking talk to each other.

When the Rio leaks (re: her relationship with Agatha) dropped, I didn't believe them because I didn't think a Disney-run Marvel would allow for that.

However, in conversations regarding when the MCU might actually the queer, I considered Agatha a possibility - in part because of Kathryn Hahn, but in part because of something else.

In the grand scheme of things, Agatha doesn't matter.

Now, let me explain that, because I love Agatha and I'm loving the show. I don't really think she doesn't matter but—

-sighs-

Agatha Harkness was only supposed to be in WandaVision. She was not intended to have her own show, she was not intended to have multiple appearances, she was not intended to necessarily show up again.

Agatha Harkness gained her own show on the basis of Jac's writing, Kathryn's performance, and the fans' reaction to her.

But Agatha does not matter to the grand scheme of whatever is happening in this saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If she was, Kathryn would have been signed on for multiple things when she signed on as Agatha the first time, Jac would have known early on that she would be continuing Agatha later, etc. etc.

What this means is that a Disney-run Marvel could use Agatha's show as a testing ground for all of the queer.

It's an indicator of what the average viewer wants and enjoys.

If it does well, then the Disney/Marvel conglomerate can feel more assured about future queer content (particularly when it comes to characters like Billy and Teddy and America).

If it does NOT do well, then Agatha and all of the characters herein (minus Billy and Teddy) can be written off because they don't need them for anything in the future anyway. They're just here because the fans loved Agatha and WandaVision. They don't matter.

And it does feel very much like that's what they're doing with Agatha All Along. They gave Jac more leeway to write a queer story, and she's hitting it out of the park, as are each of the actors portraying their characters. They're doing SUCH a good job.

But this really is about audience perception.

So I hope that the show does well for more than just us queers here on tumblr.com.

(And I honestly don't know how to gauge that.)

I was thinking that phos and vash would be bestfriend if they ever meet but then i realised that the being ‘phosphophylite’ is no longer here anymore (cries at the latest chap of hnk)

This is why Arya stans hate the "Stark sisters 4ever" nonsense btw, because people don't know how to write it without turning Arya into a prop and making her whole character revolve around serving Sansa

I love Bendy and Cup's friendship bc they give the vibes of after everything and having their own lives or whatever, one of them will randomly walk in through the door at 2 AM and crash on the other's couch bc their bud's house was closer from the bar they were at then their own

And the other just wakes up the next morning like "Really man? Did you at least lock the door?" "Ya duh who do you take me for? An idiot???" "Well clearly bc you left my milk open on the counter last night" "Oh. Ya sorry I was drunk"
