#i’m always gonna come back for her

[seveneyesoup]

moving w my cat is crazy she’s so little she doesn’t know anything and she’s moved so many times she was on the street and she got taken in when she was young and malnourished and then moved to my family’s house and then i took her on a very long car trip to another state and she lived with my roommate and then two other peoples houses while the paperwork went through. and i would leave her sometimes but come back and now i have a place that isn’t the dorms and it’s her and me in this upstairs bedroom and she doesn’t know what college is or jobs or where i go when i leave all she knows is she’s in another new place now and that i love her. but at least she knows i love her.

Why do you think the tides have slightly turned from "Elia deserves better than Rhaegar" to shipping her and Rhaegar together? Like what is the psychology behind these people because I've seen some of them like/reblog anti Rhaegar posts while also shipping Rhaegar x Elia at the same time.

hey anon! my thoughts are a bit messy, but i’ve done my best to explain them coherently :)

so, rhaegar was the best man anyone could have when elia was alive, and most people want the best for their favs. he was considered the most handsome, didn’t have a bad personality, and he was crown prince—meaning elia was almost queen, which is often seen as the greatest role a woman can have. the narrative also treats rhaegar as a beautiful, tragic, haunting figure, and elia actually had this very aesthetically pleasing man all to herself at one point! she was married to him, had children with him, and her life was so close to perfect! but rhaegar just had to go and ruin it. 😠

for many elia stans, if rhaegar hadn’t fallen in love with another woman (they want him to have been a completely different character), then everything would’ve been perfect, and elia would’ve had the best, most desirable life. however, that’s not what happened—elia met a very tragic end, and as a result, these stans feel double the bitterness. because of this bitterness, they blame rhaegar for everything (even though it’s not logical to do so), but he’s just too ‘perfect’ to let go of. so, for years these stans have made rhaegar revolve around elia, filling his tag with posts about her out of bitterness. so, i do believe that this obsession with rhaegar x elia has always been there, but i think it’s become a more favorable stance on the elia stan side of the fandom because of a mix of reasons.

plus, rhaegar is one of the few canon relationships we know elia had, since she’s not much of a character. because of this, and the fact that most people don’t like to stray too far from canon, most elia stans are forced to focus on rhaegar, which has created an echo chamber. basically, if a sentiment about elia and rhaegar’s relationship becomes popular, then the whole elia stan side of the fandom will likely regurgitate the sentiment. (also, this desire to stick close to canon is likely why the elia x arthur ship was so popular. while it’s a total crack ship, it had good aesthetics, and since elia and arthur at least knew each other, it allowed the stans to create their perfect fanfiction whilst sticking it to rhaegar. but remember, elia was actually married to rhaegar and had children with him, so while arthur is cool, rhaegar was always ‘top dog,’ meaning arthur would never be able to match up to rhaegar to most elia stans. also, the arthur x elia crack ship is likely her second most popular ship, which just shows how little elia stans have to work with, so they’re always forced to eventually return back to rhaegar for a lot of things.)

however, even if the elia x rhaegar ship gains more popularity, these stans will never stop hating rhaegar because he wasn’t ‘perfect’—and he wasn’t perfect because he didn’t love elia. plus, rhaegar loving another woman and supposedly kidnapping her is what began the war that led to elia’s tragic death. that’s bitterness times 1000. and while i don’t actually blame rhaegar for the war, i do think that this is how an elia stan sees it. i also don’t view rhaegar’s complex relationship with elia as a bad thing—it’s actually a very realistic take on an arranged marriage between two decent people. but most elia stans will never be able to get over the fact that they almost had everything, which is why many have it out for lyanna, as they consider her a thief who ruined their ‘perfection.’

tbh, that might be why so many elia stans are so obsessed with the idea that rhaegar only got with lyanna because of the prophecy—they don’t want to believe that rhaegar actually loved a different woman and not their perfect self insert elia. that’s a bit mean of me… but i don’t know what else one would call the ‘elia’ elia stans have created.

now that i’ve laid all those thoughts out, i’ll try to explain why the tides seem to be turning… i think it may have something to do with the ‘targaryens are all evil and bad’ sentiment losing popularity. i think this shift has occurred due to a mix of factors, such as years of fandom fights and fandom cycles leading to the targs being more liked now than before. it helps that canon doesn’t actually condemn the targs/favors them quite a bit, and the influx of new targ fans from HOTD has also contributed. this combination of reasons seems to have shifted the way the mainstream fandom discusses all the targaryen characters, including rhaegar. so, with this shift, it’s only natural that some elia stans/elia x rhaegar shippers—who’ve always been there—are using this opportunity to push their agenda. while these stans still hate rhaegar and see him as the bad guy, they just can’t let go of him. and as the mainstream fandom moves away from the anti targaryen sentiment, these smaller corners of the fandom, which tend to be echo chambers, are also affected, which has therefore led to a rise in rhaegar x elia shippers and the ‘shifting tide’ that you’ve also noticed.

My followers at my funeral: (Speaking to the closed casket) Poor Noms… she had so much to live for… well, hopefully now she’s in a better place…

My “casket”: GGGGUuuuUURGLLE ☠️

while i do agree that saying rhaenyra’s inheritance is rightfully hers based on the fact that her daddy said so is incredibly weak and very much entitled of her (i can literally talk about this at length) it’s also a weak take to say she isn’t the rightful heir because of *checks notes* ah, misogyny. like, come on.

oh i can already tell i’m about to have some really unpopular opinions about the edge of sleep tv show

[astralpenguin]

maybe my mother doesn’t realise it but when i message her for the first time in a few days to share something i’m excited about, her immediately suggesting i use it as an opportunity to look for a new job makes me not want to share things like this with her anymore

[tojiscrack]

HERE I AM ONCE AGAIN!!!(feeling lost but now and then)

anyways!!

THE NEW CHAPTER WAS SO AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL YET SO AMAZINGLY CHAOTIC AT THE SAME TIME

FIRST OF ALL, SUKUNA MAKES AN APPEARANCE?!?! THE FACT THAT HE CAME INTO A STORY BC THEY DECIDED TO USE A OUJIA BOARD IS SO FUNNY TO ME. ALSO THEM DESTROYING THE CAFE???? I WAS TRYING SO HARD TO NOT LAUGH WHILE I WAS READING IT AT 12AM

SECONDLY, NATAILIA IS AN ICON FOR TAKING CARE OF MORBID MANDY!!! HUAK TUAH GIRL 2.0

AND LASTLY, SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST,,, THE DANCING!!!!!! HIM REACHING HIS HAND OUT AND THEN SAYING IT WAS Y/N WHO ASKED TO DANCE BC HE WAS EMBARRASSED. Y/N UNKNOWINGLY GETTING JEALOUS AFTER HEARING MEGUMI WAS DANCING WITH ANOTHER GIRL!!! FURTHER PROVING MY POINT THAT YAIL BY TAYLOR SWIFT IS THEIR SONG!!!!

IT ALSO REMINDS ME OF THAT ONE TIKTOK SOUND WHERE ITS GOES

"And there she was, holding hands with Bryce. My Bryce!"

"Less than 20 feet away from me was Juli. My Juli."

LIKE ITS LITERALLY THEM😭😭😭😭

ANYWAYS THATS ALL I HAD TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS BLESSING OF A CHAPTER IT WAS SO GOOD😝😝🫶🫶

liar, liar masterlist here:

HIIII, i wait for these analytical messages every time and you never disappoint!

amazingly beautiful + amazingly chaotic is correct. that’s exactly the vibe i was going for 🫡

i hate sukuna was a PASSION, y’know. like a PASSION. i do NAWT fw that four armed tarantula THING, but he’s literally such a menace, it’s the perfect addition to the story 😭 he can take spot no.2 for menace (y/n’s sitting at no.1 on the podium). i’m so glad it was funny enough for you to mention it!

HUAK TUAH — DKMMM 😭 mandy is based on a real life person. do with that info what you will (i hate herrrrr). stan natalia for giving her what she deserved.

yeah, according to megumi, he never asked her to dance (which, yk, isn’t a complete lie. he never ASKED her to dance). he tells everyone that she forced him (and everyone collectively believes him over her bc of her heinous reputation of lying).

that’s an interesting take you’ve got there. i kinda wrote y/n’s reaction to be more of a surprised one than a jealous one. like, ‘my childhood best friend megumi fushiguro who-hates-it-when-the-sun-shines-a-little-too-bright-and-absolutely-detests-watching-couples-do-PDA-in-front-of-him is dancing with someone?’ type of reaction. i mean, her first thought after that was to try and embarrass him (getting yuji to record it) quite like her reaction to hana liking him during middle school. but i like hearing alternative points, it makes writing more fun 🤭

oh they’ll get their flipped moment. they will.

they won’t.

will they? 👀

TYSM FOR YOUR SUPER KIND LONG BEAUTIFUL ANALYSIS. I NEED TO HEAD BACK TO STUDYING ‘CAUSE THIS WAS TOO GOOD AND I’M GETTING DISTRACTED BUT I’LL ADD MY RANDOM COMMENTS IN THE TAGS LATER, LOVE YOUUUU ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Uzi gets really creature brained when she gets tired and considering glitch’s been in front alone for almost 5 days (only with Cyn popping in every so often), I’m surprised she didn’t get this bad sooner

And when I say Creature Brained, I mean “does not want to English, mainly going on all fours, grabbed a pringles can from our snack drawer with her teeth and tried to stick her face in it, and generally acting very Animal”

Thank god our roommate isn’t in here to see this; Uzi definitely couldn’t keep up a human act very well for them

I’m gonna pull glitch out of front and let Doku take over; he can deal with classes for a few days

Now he’s trying to lie when he literally tagged Princeton like 5 fucking time. White people are so evil, bro. They always know what they’re doing when they do shit like that. With the attempt to bring harm to Black people who they want to “get out of the way,” because they don’t think that we belong in the same spaces as them while at the same time, believing they should be allowed INTO our spaces and afforded hospitality and a whole red carpet rolled out. The sad thing is, she has connections to the industry because of her uncle and name so what if this was just a random Black woman who worked for Princeton without this kind of protection at all…?

I’ve been improving a lot mentally lately and today my wife (best friend who I’ve lived with for 7 years) told me she’s divorcing me (moving to a city we both swore we’d never live in) and she’s taking the kids (our dog) and this is just further proof that god will never allow me to be happy or hopeful

[lesbiansanemi]

The sheer desperation and frenzied manner that I keep telling myself “just one more week just one more week just one more week” to keep from snapping and going fucking insane is honestly getting concerning

[maidofmetal]
