#neither is nat

…It's nice. You're so noisy. […] Actually, it'd be better if we died together. That way, neither of us would have to suffer the pain of losing the other, right? Shut up.

kon & nat's conversations in steel #46 hit sooo good if you think about it as a closeted gay guy talking to a closeted lesbian...

*drops Abby off for a play date with your OCs*

Good luck trying to pick her back up, Nat!

Rowan will immediately attach herself to Abby and together they will take a nice stroll through the gardens of the Red Keep. There they’ll have a little afternoon picnic/tea with lots of sweets and they emerge with sticky fingers and flowers in their hair. Rowan made an insanely elaborate crown for Abby in her family's colours while Rowan’s head is adorned with little purple ones braided into her hair.

They end the day with a little ride on Vermithor, peacefully gliding over the waters of the Blackwater.

did I ever tell you about the older man who tried to talk to my friend and I about the importance of reading, not realizing he was talking to two people who majored in literature and who work in the publishing industry

If I was part of the mcu (Pt. 18)

Melina: so are you going to tell us about your daughter?

Natasha: what- she is not my daughter.

Yelena: you act like she is.

Natasha: I might take a kind of guardian-like roll in her life-

Melina: are you going to adopt her?

Natasha: she’s not my daughter

also Natasha:

Natasha: no, don’t touch that

Natasha: you’re grounded, get over here.

Natasha: I’m on a mission, be good, don’t open the door for anyone, tell Jarvis if you need anything.

Natasha, smiling a little while I’m showing her a cool feather I found on the ground: That is a good feather

Natasha: Be good for Clint, you can stay with him while I’m gone this time.

Back in current time:

Me, coming over: Nat, Nat, I didn’t find that feather you said you saw to get me out of the room so you could have a conversation but I did find this handful of cool rocks and a stick shaped like a pistol:)

Yelena, mouthing to Natasha: If you don’t adopt her, I will.

Man, Natalie went on a real moral journey...I gotta assume that like 10 minutes after dramatically rejecting Coach's invitation to non-murder cave she was like "oh shit I should have mentioned Travis has done literally nothing wrong and would probably really like to exit murder cabin"

tbh maybe this is a hot take but i really dont get why people insist on having one person in natsumugi be this Super Toxic one and the other a victim. the easiest conclusion to draw is natsume being the bad guy and tsumugi the victim due to natsume getting physical and berating him at times but far too commonly do i see people insist that its the other way around and that tsumugi is actually the super toxic one and natsume just lets tsumugi emotionally manipulate him and thats ?? so weird to me ??? both of these are so weird to me ???

i can ofc see where theyre coming from. both natsume and tsumugi have plenty of issues going on in their heads. i feel like natsumes situation is more commonly understood as him simply just being difficult though and not being the best at managing his emotions, and with tsumugi i get it because he doesnt really have much of a moral compass. he doesnt quite understand peoples feelings and it results in him doing pretty fucked up things at times, but to then frame him as someone who would be abusive?? that doesnt sit right with me

tsumugi may not understand peoples emotions and be apathetic to the struggles people are going through, but its clear to anyone that that man has good intentions at the end of the day. at WORST he may get overbearingly controlling, but its never in a "you cant do x y z" way, its in a "i signed us up for this job opportunity because i thought it sounded nice and didnt speak it through with you beforehand and now we have to do it" way. had this been 2nd year tsumugi maybe he wouldve been far more desperate and even manipulative to an extent because he was in such a dark place, but current day tsumugi is actively trying to understand people better. hes trying to learn how to feel. in wonder game he even outright said that natsume taught him pain and everything else. his growth is clear

i cannot see tsumugi taking advantage of natsume in a genuinely destructive way with modern day ntmg. again, maybe during the earlier !-era stuff he could be more destructive, but natsume also does a relatively good job keeping tsumugi in his place during that time too, with him getting physical and all. its only in !!-era where tsumugi doesnt really mind it and can even make playful jokes about it because theyve Had this development in their relationship. theyve moved Past many of their toxic attributes, and theyve finally grown to understand one another. this is also when tsumugi can have a more "dominating" role in their relationship, since natsume has come to trust him to this extent, but tsumugi wouldnt take advantage of that. again; theyve now grown very close and understanding of one another. theyll have banters such as tsumugi wanting natsume to do something like idk. wear a dress. to which natsume will reply with kys but again. in !!-era this is banter and tsumugi wouldnt actually force natsume to do something he doesnt want to. theyre just very comfortable with each other now

i also really hate the position natsume gets put in with all of this. so often he is already hyperfeminized by the fandom for no reason whatsoever (which is especially fucked up considering how much he canonically hates being seen as a girl), and by making tsumugi this manipulative and abusive partner youre stripping natsume of even more autonomy and framing him as powerless. naively in love with a man thats hurting him. and that doesnt sit right with me either!! natsume does have a big heart and he has endured more than he probably should, but to think natsume would just take it ??? natsume has BACKBONE. if tsumugi upsets him he will either 1. get really mad at him or 2. start ignoring tsumugi alltogether. hes not just gonna put up with it. and tsumugi will notice this change in demeanor. ask if hes done something wrong. he may not understand what it was he did but he never intends on hurting natsume and would genuinely want to resolve it. tsumugi isnt stubborn in this regard, if he fucks up he wants to fix it. and natsume isnt a damsel in distress, why do you want him to be a helpless maiden so bad ??

theres alot of nuance to all of this and im obviously not gonna tackle every single element of their relationship and this is just an overview but TL;DR ntmg are both awful and have many faults and their relationship has gotten incredibly unhealthy at times but the point is theyre growing PAST that. maybe sometimes these toxic traits of theirs will resurface, but that does not make one the abuser and the other the victim. theyre just two fucked up people in love, standing as equals and learning to understand one another. stop framing one as evil

[shaunanats]

thinking about how much more disgusted with herself nat’s gonna be when travis and ben find out :/ they were her only real friends tbh
