#nhie s2 spoilers

regarding Ben’s actions in the beginning of S4.

im doing a hyper binge of all the benvi scenes in order and it is SO obvious that Ben iced Devi out in the beginning of S4 because she has hurt him over and over again (and in ways that specifically trigger his worst fears and insecurities) and he even though he loves her, he wants to beat her to the punch this time. he’s trying to hurt her before she hurts him because he’s fucking scared. the stupid Dwight Howard thing was like a voice confirming his worst fears---it could have been anyone. if they had only TALKED about it then his actions wouldn’t have seemed like a random villain arc but an understandable flight instict.

i understand Devi has apologized and I think Ben has forgiven her (it seems like they were implying that they have some unspoken agreement/resolution) but just one conversation that had something like “I am so scared of what will happen if you hurt me again,” and then Devi comforting him would have meant so much.

actually what I DO like (surprisingly) is Ben being the one to reach out in the end---previously I was hoping it would be Devi first. The ball is firmly in his court all season and he has to make the choice to either hold onto the past or face his fears and trust that Devi has grown and this time would be different. That’s major growth from someone who has a major fear of abandonment/rejection and has always lashed out and guarded his vulnerable side. I just wish we would have SEEN it happen more explicitly.

s4 spoilers aside...since the b*vi/daxton discouse is a hot topic right now, i just wanna say the main conflict of this love triangle has never been "who's the better fit for devi" like most teen drama love triangles. That's barely scratching the surface. It's more "when will devi learn to love herself so she could accept to be loved by someone else", isn't it? I feel like it's been made obvious by nalini's speech. I also feel like it would be denial for a b*nvi stan to claim that Paxton doesn't like her for her. Girl put him through hell and he still came back for more. Just like, as a daxton myself, I can admit ben does like her personality, even after everything he put her through. Also, it's canon. Narratively, "The One" could be either one of them at this point on the show. I know what makes most most sense to me and we know who's the most likely winner because of the showrunner's name....but narratively, both boys had/have feelings for Devi because of she is. I'm tired of reading otherwise.

Once everyone's able to admit that, the debate gets meatier. We can focus on devi's final choice and her own feelings. There will be a lot of b*nvi based on the trailer but what matters to me is how they look vs. daxton. From my POV, once devi learns to love herself and the stomach knots fade a bit after the margot situation, picking ben over paxton is settling for mediocrity when the finished product was in reach. But that's just me. Mindy made her choice.

previous | masterlist | next

You’re feeling a bit better than yesterday but a part of you is still upset. You woke up this morning feeling good but it washes away when you recall last nights events. Sitting up, you grabbed your phone from the nightstand, and Scaramouche never texted you once. Your breath shakes and you get up to start the day.

Currently, you are eating lunch with Thoma since it’s break. You’ve been spacing out but working on your art project distracted you. You ate and stared at the table. Thoma is concerned for you and he decides to ask, “What’s wrong?” You look up at him and the guilt surfaces. “Uh, well…” You put your fork down and hold your hands. “Scaramouche and I got into a fight.” Thoma gains a shocked expression. “Oh no. I’m sorry, yn.” You smile forcibly. “It’s okay.”

Then, you frown again. “Thoma, I have to tell you something.” He tilts his head a little. “What is it?” You look around before leaning towards him and whispered, “I know.” He blinks. “Know what?” You look around again. “Not here.” You say and get up, gathering your things and throwing your trash away. Thoma follows you and throws away his stuff too. You lead him to the lounge and sit on the couch. He sits next to you still confused.

“Thoma, I know about you and Diluc.” Suddenly, his face went white. He shook and picked on his skin as he chuckled awkwardly. “H-How did-How did you find out?” You took out your phone and show him the message you received. He grew more and more anxious as he read the article, word for word. Thoma looks away and you take it as a sign that he doesn’t want to read it anymore.

Putting your phone away, you place a hand on top of his, mostly to stop him from hurting his skin. “I wont tell Diluc, I promise.” Thoma nods. “You don’t have to explain yourself to me. I’m letting you know because I don’t want to keep it a secret from you.” You caressed his hand. “You’re a good guy so I’ll do whatever you want me to do with this information.” Thoma sighs and thinks for a moment. He looks at you and asks, “Are you the only one who knows?” You shook your head. “Scaramouche knows but I doubt he’ll say anything.” ‘Hopefully.’

Thoma nods again. “It’s pretty sad. Our history.” You frown and give him a tight hug. “I’m sorry.” He hugs back and buries his face in your shoulder. “It’s okay.” He says, softly. You both pull away from each other. “Enough of that,” You say. “I want to show you how my projects going.” Thoma smiles. “I’m pretty excited.” He tells you. You get out your phone once more and show him a photo of your artwork. He gasps, “Woah, that’s so good!” You blushed. “Is it? You don’t think it’s too much?” He shakes his head. “Of course not. You’re very talented.”

You smile and look at the piece as well. “I’m sure Scaramouche agrees.” Those words made you gasp and turn to him. Thoma only smiled at you and you couldn’t help but look at your drawing again. The bell rings and Thoma stands up to leave. “Are you coming?” He asks since you didn’t move. “You go without me.” You say and he nods, leaving you on your own. You bit your bottom lip. Slowly, you opened Scaramouche’s contact and stared at the keyboard.

Your finger went to press a key but you stopped when you received a message.

season 2 showing a bit of nalini's family back in india came with the realization that nalini's home life is very similar to ben's and it's probably part of the reason why she felt such intense sympathy for him in episode six of season one. this is very heartbreaking to me

[thefabulousfab-3]

This is very rude, but extremely accurate.

[multivstx]

lmaoo why do daxton fans use “it’s always been him” in their edits when eleanor literally right after says “it’s not always been him” like who are they foolin?!💀

Trent x eleanor fanart idea / head canon lol I’m procrastinating from work and lsat studying and ignoring my own dating problems

When I saw Trent going up to Eleanor and asking to dance with her, I was squealing with DELIGHTTTTT but also wondering to myself… “what made Trent go to the play?”

So this is where my head canon goes “maybe he missed attending theater class for 5 weeks in a row and he has to attend a play as a make up assignment”

Then. Then then then

That’s when he sees eleanor. She’s the lead star, dressed in her yellow cardigan and her grandma wig.

And then she speaks. And it reminds Trent of his grandma.

Remember when Trent in season 1 mentioned something about his grandma (this was season 1 episode 8) when they were at the punch table? After he was like “yo this punch is grandma juice cuz it’s demented!!” And then Marcus asked him “how is your grandma” and Trent’s like “she has her good days”?

My head canon goes “OMG MAYBE TRENT WATCHED THE PLAY AND WAS SO TOUCHED BY ELEANOR’S ACTING AND IT REMINDED HIM OF HIS GRANDMA” lol

anyway god help us all

i actually liked a lot of never have i ever season two but HOLY FUCK were we cheated out of ben's reaction to devi cheating like,,, paxton got a whole ass episode and ben got his one "you went after him" moment and some salty one liners? like clearly in the finale when he's talking to eleanor those feelings ran deep and i would like to see it give me that angst

[mellarkably]
