#im sure that people will question my x-axis placements. and tbh ur probably right but this is my blog i do what i want

[the-lightless-flame]

for the ask game: all of the agnes ships (jude, gertrude, jack... any others?)

(if you are so inclined)

would love to!

(link to the ask game)

ive not talked in detail about agnes in way too long..

idk if im supposed to do explanations but i will anyway. ill keep them under the cut tho bc they got longer than i expected

judeagnes:

look these two were the least healthy bitches alive but i mean. they lived together for a decent amount of time. theres no way they didnt fuck theres no way

one day i might make a post about what i think agnes' relationship to sex is and it will all be because of the very specific opinions i have about these two

they compel me but the reason i dont put it higher is probably just that its less of a ship i think about a lot and more of something thats a fact of life to me. like yeah they fucked obviously they had a long and messy relationship what more is there to say. thats probably also why i put it more far to the left than it maybe should be but oh well

gertrudeagnes:

to me gertrudeagnes is like. what they have going on is extremely complex and definitely at least a little homoerotic and i do think about them a lot. but also its so much more than that

i dont really ship them in the sense i think theyd be a good pairing, but i do think a lot about how crucial they were to each others lives on a thematic and literal level and thats much more important to me. would you call that shipping or something else? idk but i do like them alot

they did only meet once but i do think that the night they had after killing emma harvey was potentially the greatest sex in lesbian history

jackagnes (jagnes? i cant remember which one it is):

look ive gone on record as a jackagnes hater and i do have a lot of Opinions on it but in interest of not extending what is already a fairly long post ill try not to harp on it for too long

i think for me it comes down to the fact that really i dont see why jack's perception of agnes (as a partner) is any more trustworthy than jude's (as a goddess) or arthur's (as a prophet), for example. being other than what people expect is the thematic cornerstone of agnes' arc, and theres not really much i can see about jack that suggests to me it'd be any different for him

i should say actually that i do think he's very interesting as a character, but really i see him more as the idea of agnes being idealised even outside of the cult than anything else

(also i could not think of any others that would make sense to put alongside these which are kinda the main three but. if anyone has any other agnes ships i would honestly love to hear suggestions, serious or not)
