#not a ship (between Ethan and Kat)

[cabinseventheaterchick]

Two weeks after the defeat of Kronos:

I wake up with only one thing thrumming through me: abject terror. I try to breathe, to inhale, but my body won’t follow my commands, and I’m trapped in a cocoon of bedsheets immobilizing me, and my cheeks are dripping with fast-drying tears. 

Another night. Another nightmare. This is just how it happens when the battle’s through with you, but you’re not through with the battle.

The memories of it have already started to fade, but somewhere inside me I know what it was about.

The Titan Army. What else?

A hand rests on my shoulder. “Kat. You’re safe,” says someone. And of course, it’s not Ethan. 

Ethan would always be right beside me when I woke up screaming from another nightmare. He’d help me take a deep breath. To inhale. Exhale. “It’s okay. We’re doing this for a reason. We’ll make the gods finally pay attention to us,” he’d said. That didn’t wave away the bleeding bodies from my nightmares, though. Just gave us a reason to keep fighting, I guess. A reason to live by the cause.

But now Ethan’s dead and I’m in the Big House at Camp Half-Blood, along with the small group of Titan’s Army kids they’re trying to rehabilitate. 

The ones that made it out of the war alive, that is.

Everything’s flooding back to me all at once and it just makes me cry harder. The man—no, centaur—next to me shifts uncomfortably. “Kat. Are you okay?” Chiron asks me. “Can I help?”

The question somewhat surprises me, but I shake my head, curling up to bury my face in the sheets. The door clicks shut as Chiron leaves reluctantly, and I hear the fading hoofsteps as he goes back downstairs.

I have to remember that I can’t trust anyone. Ethan lied to me, Chiron’s an enforcer of the gods, and I’m sure half the campers would be glad to kill an ex-Titan Army soldier given the chance. 

I’ve just gotta keep myself alive. All the rest comes after that. And if it means I have to catch the first train to NYC and fend off a legion of monsters myself, so be it. Less interpersonal connections? Perfect. Less people to die and leave me behind.

Again.

And again

And again.

No, it’s much better off to guard myself closely. 

But as I drift off to sleep, I still can’t stop myself wishing that I could see everyone again. Wishing that no one had died. Wishing that I wasn’t doomed to hide.

Gods, do I wish Ethan was here.

Your favourite Euphoria moments+ favourite man?

Any moment between Fez and Lexi. They provided so much peace throughout the show and the little bits we did see of their relationship were so pure and adorable! I hope they are endgame and aren’t done dirty like Kat and Ethan cuz they are the least toxic ship on the show!

Other than Fez and Lexi scenes, all the music video-like aesthetic moments the show had were pretty nice. I have my problems with Sam Levinson and his writing, but I’d be lying if I said that man can’t direct his ass off!

My favorite Euphoria men are Fez, Ali, the potential that McKay had before he got written out of the show, and Ethan (hope they don’t ruin him next season now that Kat isn’t in the show anymore)

[euphoricnyctophilia]

Lilith was in school for six hours and immediately had to go take a sit down on the floor behind her desk. Mood. 

Zelda looking disgusted at the Kempers crying about their son shouldn’t be as hot is it is. Ugh I love her

Sabrina is so funny for being like “btw I was born in the woods”

Oh my god why is she giving Harvey the church of nights deepest darkest secret. I forgot how fucking dumb she was 😩

Harvey thinking that Sabrina is making up being a witch because she doesn’t want to be with him is giving Euphoria when Kat told Ethan that she had to break up with him because she was dying of cancer 😂😂😂😂

“My grimoir is your grimoir” Ambrose I love you 😭

“ Are you sure you don’t want to kill him? Because we could do that” Ambrose carried this episode

How fucking long is the shoe wall???????

I remember the first time I watched this Salem in his ghost form or whatever tf you call creeped me the fuck out

What is this dead thing on the porch in between the two chairs when Sabrina is sitting out there because I know that if it was Hilda’s it would be alive so by process of elimination Zelda is out here killing house plants.

Salem just hanging out outside if ms Wardwell’s

Michelle’s acting is so good in this episode

Madam Satan literally could’ve teleported to the Apple orchard and took the malum malice off the tree before Sabrina got there. She made that scarecrow come alive because she knew how fucking annoying Sabrina was going to be and wanted to torment her a little bit which is valid.

The cgi familiars are so funny

I don’t ship Spellwood. I never have and I never will, but his presence in episode one is insane and I can understand why y’all would behave this way. BUT the crimes he committed from that moment, onward will never be forgiven.

Part 2 of the crossover pide drawings.

Bi Meilin x Bi Miriam

You know these two are making Mary Sue-esk self incerty OCs and shipping them with each other's OCs.

AroAce Sun Wukong and Omni Baoqing Fox To continue the White Snake Nezha Reborn crossover, I had these two paired up, this time platonically. Lol. I can see them being chaotic together.

Gay Da Hanqing x Pan Kong Hongjun. I love Da Hanqing so much. Baby deserves so much better.

Trans Rein x Intersex Calico Two more OCs. Rein belongs to @miel-deerling.

Intersex Imani x Pan Benny More OCs, Imani is @miel-deerling's character. They're both were creatures.

Frankie's Polycule I love Polycules, but they're kind of complicated to make in one picture. Lol. So I made one per branch in this polycule. For my headcannons on each of them. Frankie is Non-binary Pan, Cleo is Omni, Neithan is Pan, Jackson is trans and Bi, and Holt is Trans and Pan.

Jackson's Polycule I wish Jackson and Holt got back with Frankie after they straightened things out between the two of them. But I love that Jackson got Clair.

Cleo's Polycule I accidentally used the Genderfluid flag instead of the Omnisexual flag. So uh. I guess Duce is Genderfluid. Lol.

Clair's Polycule We love the sunshine character x the goth character.

Bi Draculaura x Lesbian Clawdeen I was really hoping these two would have been cannon in G3.

Genderfluid Camilo x Gay Ethan Fun fact, before the Strange World movie came out. I predicted that Ethan was going to be shipped with Mirabel, and I made a post about it, and it aged like milk. Lol. So I moved Ethan over to Camilo.

Trans Raul x Bi Kat It caught me so off guard that Raul was trans. I haven't seen proper trans representation in a kids movie. I've seen snippets of trans rep in shows, but not in a movie before. And I loved it.

@miel-deerling and I. He's trans and bi, and I'm non-binary trans-masc and pan.

Non-binary Xiao Tian Before showing off Yang Jian to my dad, I didn't know anything about Cowboy Beepbop, and he kept saying that Xiao Tian was inspired by Ed. Since I didn't know anything, we watched the show together, and Yep. That's for sure Ed in a pink dog ears. Lol.

So. Every June, I try to challenge myself by posting something for Pride Month. For the past couple years, it's been ships with cute little pride flags. This year, the priority focus will be on the Trolls Summer Gift exchange. But at the very least I'd like to show ya'll the ones I've made in the past.

2022 bundle:

Bi Hiccup x Gay Jack. Fun fact: This was the first gay couple I've ever laid my eyes on as a young child. I saw this ship and thought "I want that kind of relationship."

Bi Tony x Gay Rudolph Watching the 2017 movie, these two reminded me of Luca and Alberto so much.

Aro Merida You get it? Cuz she's an archer. It's funny. Laugh.

Bi Nan Fang x Ace Fu Yao The headcannon was based off of a fanfic I read a while ago.

Demi Ace Xie Lian x Gay Hua Cheng. I sevearly enjoyed the series. I occasionally eat fics of these two as comfort foods.

Pan Xu Xuan x Trans Xiao Bai White snake was basically 2 hours of "What you are doesn't matter, it's who you are that matters", THEE Pansexual anthem, and then the second movie Turned Blanca into a guy? This is cannon.

Ace Liu Qingge x Bi Shen Yuan Imma be honest. I didn't like SVSSS very much. Yandere's are not my cup of tea. And I was really hoping Shizun would have gotten with Liu-shidi instead.

Gay Luca x Gay Alberto I'm so glad Luberto was actually confirmed to be somewhat cannon. Though Nowadays I see Luca as bi, cuz if we're counting the concept art as apart of the lore, then Luca had a crush on both Alberto and Giulia.

Gay Jade x Gay Katie. Kate is the first character I actually felt scene as a queer person.

Genderfluid Shi Qingxuan I freaking love them so much. Easily my favorite character.

Aro Nezha This kid knows chaos and only chaos.

Pan Adam x Gray Ace Freddy I saw this crossover on DA and thought they made so much sense together. Adam the literal personification of nature, and Freddy the unification of humanity and animals.

Non-Binary Merz x Lesbian Alice These two are OCs of mine.

Aro Lesbian Isabela and Aro Lesbian Elsa. I ship this in a sort of queer platonic way. Like a "we don't really want to date people, but everyone thinks we're dating, and we just don't care enough to correct them." kind of way.

Genderfluid Camilo I want the ability to shapeshift so badly.

Pan Ao Bing x Bi Xiao Jiu Ya'll get brownie points if you know which Ao Bing this is and double points if you know who Xiao Jiu is. Lol. It was a random crossover ship I made because the company liked to crossover their medias for advertisements, and we see the adults interacting and having fun, and Nezha joins them. But we don't see the two teenagers interact at all.

Bi Verta x Bi Li Yunxiang Another crossover ship I made up cuz I didn't see a lot of Nezha Reborn and White Snake crossovers. Which surprised me, especially after Green Snake.

Gay Jiang Ziya x Gay Shen Gongbao These two lived in the same house together for 10 years and adopted a daughter together. I am convinced these two are a married couple.

Bi Mirabel There was a little bisexual rainbow on her dress. That's proof enough for me. Lol.

Lesbian Amaya x Lesbian Janai I loved seeing their dynamic in the show.

Non-Binary Kazi I love them. I'm glad they got more attention in the show.

Lesbian Susie x Trans Noelle "Why does Noelle have antlers. Is she trans? The Null the Null the Null the Null..."

Non-Binary Kris I love them. They literally never said a word, and I love them.

AroAce Krel Based on a comic I made.

Aro Blaze Another OC.

Aro Douxie Idk why, but I get that vibe from him.

2023 Pack:

Furry Omni Toby x Furry Demigirl Darci The moment Darci said she didn't want people to like her just because she was a girl, I felt that in my soul.

Bi Steve x Pan Aja I am not convinced Steve is straight.

Pan Simon x Gay Ao Bing This ship was inspired by a youtube video that had a list of crossover ships, this being on of them. And I freaking love it.

AroAce Sun Wukong and AroAce Tang Sanzang In Monkey King Reborn, out of everyone in the friend group, you can just tell that these two cared about each other the most. And I think that's just sweet.

Fuck. I can only have 30 images per post. I'll reblog with the rest of the 2023 pack.

Comments on Euphoria s02e02

- Again focusing on Nate in the beginning. I hate him but damn he is a complex character and Jacob Elordi does such a wonderful job playing him.

And I still thinks he fancy Jules and that's why he is in love with Cassie, cuz she is also blonde and vulnerable, gentle, delicate... So I think he may see Jules in Cassie.

Also, I'm so on board if he decides to make the living hell outta his father life. And if he doesn't this instead of bullying the girls, that would be a twist I didn't saw coming

- Rue, Jules is not clingy and jealous, she just isn't dumb or blind, she saw what's going on and she was right to be mad.

And I no longer ship Rules. And look at that, Rue being the emotional irresponsible one, that's a slap in a face or people who still throw stone at Jules. Poor Jules tho, she is about to have her second heart break in what? A few months?

- I felt like I need to say this since now we have two love triangles. The difference between MaddyxNatexCassie and JulesxElliottxRue, is that Nate is a complex character and actually have a story out of the love triangle, Elliott don't(until now). He still is just the guy that is there to be in between Jules and Rue and give Rue drugs.

- Maddy babysitting was not something I knew I needed. And the tension between her and that woman? That was sus. And since is Minka Kelly playing her Im sure she will make more appearance and I'm curious to see what her character will do this season

-Cassie please learn how to leave without male attention and approval

- Kat is not allowing herself to have nice things or she is just bored? And if she is bored, why people thing healthy relationships are boring?

I really like how they show us the toxic positivity here. I hate see those rich, hot (for the society standards) people saying that I shouldn't hate myself and all when we live in two different worlds, when I will never have the opportunities and privilege they have. And also sucks how today woman have all this pressure put by patriarchy and the woke culture, to be this or be that.

Please don't take this wrong is just that things can become toxic real quick. Even things that are good.

- Okay I knew Cal wouldn't kill Fez with Lexi there but Jesus Christ my heart was about to come out I'm my chest.

- Lexi 2.0. Time to shine queen.

-Hell yeah, girls night. Poor Ethan tho. Oh and I'm rooting for Jules and Maddy to be besties. They are really quickly becoming my fav characters along with Fez

The 'Euphoria Discourse' post

mckay is 19 and cassie is 18 in season one. fez was rewritten to be 19, and lexi is 16 in season one. if you avidly ship fezxlexi but claim that mckay is pedophilic, you probably view their relationship through the racist lens of infantilizing cassie in order to demonize mckay.

the breakup scene of ethan and kat is character assassination. even in season one, when she was running away from the pain of thinking that ethan was using her, the tactic she used was to play into an appearance of confidence. i don't believe that attempting to gaslight ethan to get him to break up with her is in keeping with that, it lacks the confidence that she likes to use as a shield.

jules being emotionally distraught over rue being friends with elliot and also relapsing, only for her to hook up with elliot echoes rue's assertion that jules "loves being loved". while the point of rue's tirade was to say what would hurt jules the most and wasn't "reading her", that part rang true. the reason that jules chases after people who remind her of rue is that she romanticizes certain aspects of their relationship (such as rue getting clean for her, validating her where her mother wouldn't); while some part of her wants to dance close to the fire that is a relationship with rue, the other part blames rue for burning her.

i refuse to believe that the entire school wasn't talking about the drama between head quarterback nate jacobs, and head cheerleaders cassie and maddy. lexi didn't expose anything that the entire school wasn't talking about anyway.

even if maddy accusing tyler of r-ing, and then assaulting her was driven by trauma caused by nate, it was still incredibly wrong to do.

even though cassie hooking up with nate was driven by her trauma, she was still in control of her actions. just like trauma needs to be taken into account when discussing maddy, the same goes for cassie. her trauma needs to be discussed, but arguments defending cassie's actions using trauma are reductionist logically incorrect.

cassie was a bad sister to lexi.

the "I need a hero" scene in lexi's play was not homophobic; the point of it was not to make fun of gay men, but to highlight the homoeroticism portrayed in aggressive male sports through camp. while there's undoubtedly people who will joke about it, no one in that school is going to genuinely believe that nate is gay just because of the play.

the show attempting to humanize cal through showing how homophobia affected his life is a waste of both my and the show's time. including it in cal's backstory after the events of season one makes it feel apologist, and utilizes the "predatory gay" trope.

goodday

[anxiouspotatorants]

Now that the season is over and we finally have the full picture I feel the need to just compile my thoughts overall.

The bad:

The pacing just felt off this season. Maybe it was because it felt like an unofficial Bennet-Howard-Jacobs season, but like the fact that so many characters got so much screentime while others almost evaporated from the show was weird. It makes sense to have a focus on Rue, but to get so much of the Howards and Fez and Elliot but not nearly any Kat or Jules... idk maybe character preferences are showing but I feel like a more even split ala season 1 would have fit better.

Nudity... I think there might actually have been less nudity this season but it felt like more and it felt more unnecessary. It did luckily cool down in the second half of the season, but for every necessary nude scene there was an unnecessary one imo.

Elliot felt rushed. Like, I think I get what they wanted to do with him (give Rue a mirror and also someone to forgive so it’s not just a bunch of ‘I’m sorry’), but their emotional moments just didn’t feel earned. The song moment in 2.08 would have hit so much harder if I actually felt like I knew who Elliot was. Now it just feels like he was a stranger at a party who overstayed his welcome.

I kind of wish this season had been longer. Once Rue was finished with rock bottom we sort of skipped over to her looking and feeling really clean, and pre-rock bottom felt a little rushed too. This is a pacing issue again, but it’s like individual scenes were great but we missed the space between scenes or even episodes. And even the ones with focus lacked idk something more. I think it should have been a couple episodes longer to fill that out and add context to f ex Maddy’s babysitting storyline and Elliot’s character.

The good:

I almost feel like it doesn’t need to be said but Rue’s storyline is still the strongest, Elliot be damned. The rock-bottom episode alone is enough to prove that.

Speaking of obvious but necessary points: the acting is stellar. Zendaya is on her a-game, Nate and Cassie’s actors are going for gold, and the Euphoria debuters (Jules, Kat (Ithink?) and Ashtray’s actors) just continue to wow me.

Aside from Rue I think Nate may have had the best storyarch or like been the best written character of the season? Like, his arch was the one that kept surprising me the most while also making complete sense. The more layers we get of Nate the more like a person he feels and the more terrifying he becomes. There are moments when he actually feels like a vulnerable 18 year old guy and not just toxic masculinity incarnate, and that just makes him more bone-chilling.

I feel like the season was at its best in 1) dream sequences and 2) when people just talked together 1 on 1. For reference, think Nate’s nightmare, Rue’s love montage for Jules and Lexi and Rue’s talk in 2.08

I actually liked the Cassie-Nate-Maddy love triangle! Not because I’m rooting for any coupling in that one, good riddance, but because it forced out important parts of each character. Maddy is territorial and needed a proper push away from Nate. Cassie is in a mental rock bottom and Nate is the perfect person to keep her there for comfort and punishment at the same time. And Nate continues to live in this half-denial of what he wants and who he should want and Cassie is at a place when he can exploit her and project his desires onto her.

I also liked that we started to see some dynamics that weren’t expected, like Jules and Maddy talking about relationships and Lexi and Ethan becoming theater geeks together. As someone who loves platonic ships and dynamics it really warmed my heart.

Also pacing be damned individual plot points and skits were amazing. Lexi’s mental documentary? Cassie’s morning routine? Kat’s self love nightmare? Rue dancing and explaining how to get away with doing drugs ala the dickpic sequence in season 1? Glorious

The general meta/thoughts:

I am so conflicted about the play. Not on a “was this good for the show” level but a “was this a good move for Lexi” level. Like, on one hand her play was the push Rue needed to motivate herself to stay clean, but on the other Lexi made detailed recreations of her friends’ personal lives and traumas on a stage for everyone in their local community to see. Like yes, sometimes people “need to get hurt” like Fez said, but I don’t see how displaying f ex Cassie’s carousel scene was going to do anything but shame her even more.

Nate’s season arch ending with him getting Cal arrested?? Apparently evil is needed to defeat evil! (in this specific instance) But seriously this entire scene had me shaking. Nate felt like an actual vulnerable kid. Like he was mourning everything he never had with his father and the ways Cal has hurt the family. Like, he has done so many horrible things for his father and now he finally gave the man up. But we also got classic Nate with the extortion and the gun. I think this might be the most honest Nate has been since the carousel scene with Jules. I have no idea what this means for Nate in the future and I am scared.

I just have so many questions after the finale. Is there going to be a time jump (most likely to senior year for Rue)? Did we just say goodbye to both Jules and Elliot? Did Kat actually return to camming or was that a scene Lexi put in the play? (and if so then Lexi what are you doing???) How are the open-ended plot points coming to season three (if they even are, considering the plotpoints dropped from season one)? I honestly think I might do a full rewatch of the entire thing to see if it helps me get the picture better, because my number one feeling after this season is confusion

NOT TAKING ANYMORE REQUESTS!

There was no denying that watching your best friend, Kat, get closer to Ethan stirred up some jealousy within you. You had only just recently realised you were developing feelings for her, and having to watch her interact with a potential crush felt tortuous. 

You bitterly rip off a strand of your cotton candy, sitting on a bench as you watch kids run past you. The fair is in full swing, and you had planned on spending the night with Kat, but she had just left you to go talk to Ethan when she caught sight of him.

You slump back into your seat, unable to enjoy yourself. You’re just about to get up and leave when you suddenly see Kat stroll up to you, grinning as she holds a slushie out to you. You blink at her in surprise, having not expected her to return, and she insists, “Try this.”

You pause, before hesitantly taking a sip, the refreshing flavor instantly hitting your tongue. Kat grins, raising an eyebrow at you, before continuing, “Good, right? I knew you’d like this flavor.”

You bite back a smile, feeling your cheeks getting hot. You want to stay mad at her, but you just can’t. The two of you begin walking together, with Kat steering the two of you towards the ferris wheel. You awkwardly glance around, before you can’t help but blurt, “So, uh, Ethan?”

Kat turns to you. “What about him?”

“I don’t know,” you shrug, trying to appear nonchalant. “I thought you were gonna spend time with him.”

“I just went to say hi.” Kat responds, her eyebrows furrowing. “Why are you being so weird?”

“I’m not being weird.” you defensively respond, and Kat snorts. You desperately try to compose yourself, “I’m not! I just—”

“You just what, y/n?” Kat asks, stopping the two of you as she stares at you. You gulp, as if trying to swallow your words, but you can’t hide the truth any  longer.

“I just like you, okay?” you exclaim. “And I know it’s selfish, but I just want you to myself.”

You freeze, watching as Kat processes your sudden confession. You try to backtrack, stammering as regret floods through you, but you’re cut off as Kat suddenly leans forward, cupping your face in her hands as she kisses you. You jump back, taken by surprise, and the two of you stare at one another, breathless. Finally, Kat says, “You don’t have to worry about Ethan, okay? You’re the only one that I like. God, sometimes I feel like you’re the only good thing that’s ever happened to me.”

You gape at her, before a shy smile appears on your face. Kat smiles at you, before offering her hand, and she asks, “So... do you want to ride the ferris wheel together?”

You take her hand, giving it a squeeze as your chest fills with joy. “Absolutely.”

I watched Euphoria tonight so here’s my thoughts (1x05):

Maddy’s introduction this episode...that bitch is ICONIC

Maddy wanting to do absolutely nothing was a mood

“Are you coming?” I SCREAMED

“We’re taking things really slow” *immediately gets matching ship name lip tattoos*

CAN THEY PLEASE JUST LOCK UP NATE ALREADY!!!!!

Cal’s hookup was so chaotic and as soon as he turned on Cupkakke I lost it I need him in more episodes

Kat stop being mean to Ethan challenge

I want Jules’ wardrobe so bad also her dad is so sweet I love him

The dynamic between Kat and the dude she cams for is so messy like she just be talking about anything and he’s like “love u kitten Queen” I can’t

MADDY DESERVES BETTER SOMEONE PLEASE PROTECT HER

I wanna know what it is with Kat and all these grown ass men please do better for yourself girl

I think Jules is realizing she’s Rue’s new drug cause she keeps getting uncomfortable when other people mention her being a good influence

Fuck Nate Jacobs and the clique he claim

Does Lexi have a thing for Rue or am I just tripping?

Ali said fuck them kids he really out here crushing Rue’s sapphic New York dreams and ya know what it had to be done

[hxnnibxi]

Euphoria thoughts

Does Lexi give anyone else gay vibes, I feel like she has a thing for rue??

Honestly I kinda ship it???

Rules kinda got iffy there at the end, I know Jules really wanted rue to go with her but I don't think it would've been a good relationship anymore

That scene with Nate and his dad fucked me up

I really hope him and Maddie stop getting together now that they've said they aren't good for each other, Maddie deserves so much better than him

In fez gonna be okay???

Kat and Ethan are really cute and I love that they got together uwu

Zendaya is amazing and I love her so much, her acting is mind-blowing

Maddie saw the video, what's gonna happen

The music playing while going between Cassie's abortion, her dancing and Fez robbing that dude? wow

I have so many more thoughts but ahajaajanak

Anyway go stream euphoria on hbo if you haven't watched it already

[mughler]

ok im gonna go on a bit of a rant about euphoria and i might get a bit ~ controversial ~

OK so first of all im gonna preface this by saying that i rly like the show, its REALLY well written, you become invested in the characters so quickly, you never know what to anticipate, youre always left wanting more (i even stopped watching after binging the first three eps bc it was kinda triggering and i got rly sad at rues scenes rgnureug but i couldnt help myself so i kept watching lmao)

so firstly, this show is meant to be realistic right? it’s not. i mean its not the least realistic teen show i’ve seen, but i definitely wouldnt say this is an accurate reflection of teenagers today by a long shot. i feel like every school has like a handful (at most) of teens who are dealing with some really fucked up stuff but the show makes it seem like every teen has this craazy life when most ppls lives are rly just mediocre and sorta boring lmao, but ofc that doesnt make for a good story. so idk, i wouldnt call it realistic, thats all

secondly, WHY IS EVERYONE CHEATING ON EACH OTHER IN THIS SHOW. thats it. thats the entire second part lmao

thirdly, i really dislike how sex is portrayed in euphoria. i dont mind the scenes being graphic and containing nudity. but i dislike how it’s shot and how the scenes are portrayed. it looks more like a porno than actual teens having sex. there are only two scenes in the show so far that i feel were more realistic portrayals of sex; the scene between ethan and kat in ep 6 and jules and rue in ep 4/5 (i cant remember)

what i love the most about euphoria is definitely rue and jules, rue 100% being my favourite character. idk if i ship them bc the relationship is very toxic and codependent but rue and jules are the best written and multi-faceted characters on the show and even when they make mistakes you can see where they’re coming from. 

AND TALKING ABOUT MISTAKES. its really sorta exhausting watching euphoria bc theyre all making SUCH  B A D  decisions!!!!! with characters like rue and jules and a few (notice i said few) other characters, their mistakes make sense or rather theyre more justified but aaaaall the other characters exhaust me because of all of their actions, theyre extremely self destructive

i think thats it oh ALSO kats storyline of being a camgirl makes me SOOOO uncomfortable probably bc its supposed to lmao but apparently some ppl are praising kat for being a camgirl when she’s literally a minor.. she obviously only values herself for what her body can provide for her (she thinks ethan only wants to have sex with her, she feels good about herself only when she’s desired) so her actions dont deserve any praise imo

so that was my rant feel free to msg me if you disagree or agree!! i’d love to hear your thoughts maybe change my mind on smth if you wanna

It’s still boggles my mind how those two Rules shippers tried to group us Fexi shippers in with Nate and Cal TikTok stans cuz they were mad over how popular Fexi had become.

And they were also getting mad because some Fexi shippers were asking questions on a post by the official HBO Twitter account (aka where fans of ANY AND EVERY ship/character on the show will comment).

Saying we don’t care about the shows main message just because a few people are asking about a ship is fucking dumb! That’s like someone saying I don’t care about global warming just because I’m asking about the weather in my area.

And as much as I love Rules, pointing out how toxic they can be to each other is NOT homophobic! The evidence is literally right there in the show! The two of them need some time apart so they can figure shit out and that’s okay! The only reason people call Fexi the least toxic ship on the show is because they haven’t had a bad moment between them yet. Kat and Ethan used to have that title, but then S2 ruined it, and now Fexi carries the title, unless they start to become toxic as well!

Anyways, being a Fexi-Rules shipper on Twitter is pain. It doesn’t happen too often, but when these mfs fight, they FIGHT!

hear me out:

a friendship between Kat Hernandez and Jules Vaughn.

Kat and Jules are both going through their own kind of transformations in regards to their sexuality, relationships, acceptance of love and their shared impulse to isolate/runaway from intimacy outside of meaningless sex. they both went through periods of using their sexuality to get affirmation, for Jules it was in her femininity and for Kat it served her by allowing her to have dominance over the same kinds of men that had rejected her/ignored her and for both Jules and Kat it was a way for them to take back their power from men that shamed them by making both girls feel hatred towards their bodies for so long. Neither of them as far as we’ve seen on the show have ever been in a loving romantic relationship, which is why when Jules finds herself on an emotional roller coaster with Rue and Ethan confesses about his ongoing feelings towards Kat both of them visibly want to run.

To me it seems almost in black and white that Jules is in love with Rue, the way she instantly takes to her is shown from all the intimate snuggles we see. Rue is completely infatuated with Jules from day one and would almost do anything for her (threatening Nate Jacobs, nearly running away to the city with Jules, etc). their relationship is soft and giving and very very fragile. Jules has gone from dangerous sexual encounters with older men in an attempt to help her self esteem to actually facing her queerness and experiencing an equal relationship with someone for the first time ever. Keep in mind this is all before Jules has even had the chance to healthily explore her sexuality herself, I think that from Jules’ heartbreaking childhood (her mum admitting her to a mental health unit while Jules goes through depressives and self harms) a lot of her childhood was taken away. She would’ve been dealing with her gender identity and transitioning, I think a lot of euphoria’s fandom doesn’t take into account that Jules is delicate too. her entire life has been in a constant chokehold of pressures and expectations for herself, and she never really had the experience of being young and careless. It speaks through her soft but bright and playful wardrobe and makeup, her mannerisms and her ambitious nature that lands her back on a train to New York. Jules’ emotional response to pain is to run (isolate in her room, avoid Rue, find an escape through meaningless hookups, get uncharacteristically drunk at the Halloween party, etc) I’d really like to see her deal with coming back from New York and coming to terms with what she wants and needs. I want to see her in S2 exploring her newfound queerness in a healthy way with people her age (yeah that’s you Anna) and eventually facing Rue and starting to try and openly communicate, but I think Jules needs another best friend to help her navigate this and who better than Kat Hernandez.

Ethan made it clear he was already taken with Kat before her dominatrix wardrobe and angsty one liners, and when he goes down on Kat in the Halloween episode it’s the first time we’ve seen a guy actually try to make her just feel good and after Kat is nowhere to be found. It’s in the finale that Ethan tells Kat how he feels saying “Is one of us going to get hurt? probably, but I’ll do my best to make sure it’s me” this golden hearted boy is literally saying he will try to protect her from any emotional pain, it’s the first time we see someone making Kat feel safe and cared for and it wildly contrasts her cam girl days. Just like Rue and Jules’ bond what Ethan and Kat have like most high school loves is very very fragile, but after Ethan and Kats shared kiss and them leaving the dance together it seems like S2 is set up for them to shine. that being said I’d loveeee to see the conflict Kat has like in S1 when she was jealous of a girl Ethan was talking to and acted out, but just more of her trying to navigate that she can accept and give love. I feel like Kat and Jules both share ambitious natures and could really empathise with one another and show some growth as a power duo, I’d love to see them lifting each other up next season (maybe Kat can become Rules’ ship captain tee hee) and I cant be the only one.

001: Euphoria, Black Sails. 002: Rue/Jules. 003: Eleanor Guthrie, Jules Vaughn.

Already answered Black Sails! :)

Euphoria:

Favorite character: Jules. This was initially born out of spite because of all the ridiculous hate she got but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that she really is my fave. Despite what a lot of people say, I think she's genuinely one of the nicer people on the show. But she just has a lot of her own issues and is still trying to find herself. I feel very protective of her lol. Rue is a close second fave though.

Least Favorite character: Probably Cal Jacobs

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Rue/Jules, Cassie/Maddy, and Kat/Ethan. That's it really.

Character I find most attractive: None of them really. I think Rue and Jules are both really pretty but they're minors. And Zendaya and Hunter are also both a little too young for me.

Character I would marry: None of them. They're kids.

Character I would be best friends with: Lexi is probably the one I'd get along with best, honestly. But I also kind of feel like Jules is one of those extroverts who would adopt introverts as her friends and that's how 99% of my school friendships started, including the one with my best friend lol.

a random thought: I can't believe they really made Zendaya read L*rry fanfiction out loud lmao

An unpopular opinion: Eh....I can't really think of anything other than loving Jules and believing that she isn't any more "toxic" than most of the other characters lol. But idk how unpopular that is. There are a lot of Jules haters but she also has a good amount of stans.

My Canon OTP: Rue/Jules. I just want them both happy :(

My Non-canon OTP: Cassie/Maddy. Maddy needs to ditch Nate and date her soulmate.

Most Badass Character: Rue. Her confrontation with Nate in the finale was iconic. I hope she wrecks his shit next season.

Most Epic Villain: "Epic" is a strong word but I actually do think Nate is kind of interesting as a villain. He falls into the "love to hate him" categories of villains for me. I think it's partly because I think Jacob Elordi is one of the strongest actors on the show. It probably helps that other than following certain blogs and venturing into the Jules Vaughn and Rue x Jules tags, I'm not too involved in the fandom. So idk how rampant Nate woobifying is other than the fact that there are some freaks who ship him with Jules.

Pairing I am not a fan of: Jules/Nate 🤢 Luckily I don't think it's THAT rampant yet

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Kat's characterization got a little crazy for a while there but I don't think she was screwed up per se.

Favourite Friendship: I'd say Cassie/Maddy but I also ship it romantically lol. Um....I'll go with Rue/Fez even if I do find it kind of problematic considering he was her drug dealer.

Character I most identify with: Kat. I didn't really grow up as a fat girl (though I'm far from being skinny) but the whole thing with her getting lost in online fandoms and fictional worlds to cope with her loneliness is something that I think a lot of us can relate to.

Character I wish I could be: Eh....none really lol

Rue/Jules:

When I started shipping them: I think it was 1x02 that sold me on the ship. It was strange because they met, became friends, and started developing feelings really fast and I usually can't get into ships like that. But something about their chemistry and dynamic really speaks to me and makes me melt.

My thoughts: They are an unhealthy relationship but NOT an abusive one. And they have potential to become healthy if they both work out their own problems as individuals. It's clear that they both care about each other a lot and when things are good between them, it really is good. They have a lot of potential to make each other happy and give the other what they need. And their chemistry is so good and tender. They make me soft in both the best and worst ways.

What makes me happy about them: That they get so much screen time together, more so than any other pair.

What makes me sad about them: That they're both so lost and troubled atm :(

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: There isn't a ton of Euphoria fic yet and I've only read like two Rue/Jules fics lol. So nothing.

Things I look for in fanfic: I'd love to read some established relationship fics with the two of them that take place where they're both in healthier places. I have an idea in my head of one taking place during their college years where they're both juggling school, their mental health, and having a relationship with each other. Maybe one day I'll write it lol

My wishlist: For them to both grow and heal and characters and then eventually come back together stronger.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: I don't really ship either of them with anyone else. For Rue I might have said Lexi if the shippers didn't make me resent the pairing so much.

My happily ever after for them: The two of them finish high school and go to college while attending therapy. Somewhere down the line, they move to New York City and get their own apartment together. They also get a cat. (It's Jules' idea. Rue is initially kind of grumpy about it because cats could have fleas and they have to clean the litter box. But she eventually grows to love it just as much as Jules). And they're both happy.

Eleanor Guthrie:

How I feel about this character: I love Eleanor so, so much and I'm sad about her always. I loved her right from her very first appearance on the show and I so wish she had gotten a better ending.

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: Max. I don't know how I ended up loving a ship that broke up romantically in the second episode of the show so much but I do. And I loved that they became friends again before the end and that their importance to each other was never truly forgotten. I also dig Miranda/Eleanor as a crack ship. And Eleanor/Mrs. Hudson.

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: Flint. I loved how much respect they always had for each other, even when they were technically on different sides. I also really wish we had gotten some sort of Eleanor/Anne dynamic outside of those scenes in S1. Even if the dynamic ended up not being entirely positive, I wanted some more interaction between the two of them lol.

My unpopular opinion about this character: She was killed at least partly for manpain. People can argue all they want but they literally made her pregnant just to make her death more painful for Rogers.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: That she hadn't died. I also would have liked to see her with another woman if we couldn't get more Maxanor. It's unfair that after Max (which didn't last long) we only got to see her with two shitty men.

Favorite friendship for this character: I liked her scenes with Madi in late S4 and I wish we could've seen more of that dynamic. Eleanor died trying to save her :(

My crossover ship: I don't do crossovers. But I've seen the fandom pass off the idea of Eleanor/Elizabeth Swann from POTC a few times and I think that's sort of intriguing.

Jules Vaughn:

How I feel about this character: I love her a lot and I feel like she's very misunderstood. As I said before, I believe she's one of the genuinely nicer characters on the show but has a lot of her own shit and problems to deal with. I think some people are way harder on her than they are other characters and that annoys me.

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: Rue and that's it.

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character:  We don't see a lot of it but her friendship with Kat seems cute. I also like her dad.

My unpopular opinion about this character: Whenever people bring up Rue/Jules being unhealthy, they always cite Jules as the only reason it's unhealthy and I don't think that's fair. Rue literally makes herself dependant on Jules to stay sober and that's a lot of unfair pressure to put on a teenager, especially one that's dealing with her own problems.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: That she hadn't slept with Cal Jacobs. That scene was so gross and made me uncomfortable. I get that hooking up with married men is a by-product of a self esteem issue for her but at the very least, I didn't need to see it.

Favorite friendship for this character: Kat again.

My crossover ship: NA

Thanks! :)

Just Like That (Tyler Scheid)

Title: Just Like That

Word Count: 930

Requested by Anon: henlo! Can you do a Tyler x reader where the reader is marks neighbor/best friend and has appeared in a few of his videos and the fans love her? So one time during a charity livestream the team decides to invited her over, and she comes and her and Tyler act low key like a couple (they’re secretly dating- the team knows but the internet doesn’t) and everyone in the chat/tumblr/twitter/etc. totally notice? and from there you can decide what happens ^-^

Summary: Tyler loves his girlfriend, and she loves him. But the internet doesn’t know. So how does one charity livestream influence their big secret?

Written By: Cass

A/N: They are definitely not low key because I’m dramatic and don’t know how to be chill. But also, Fem!Reader as sort of requested, if you’d like me to remake this with a male or gender neutral reader, let me know!

Privacy was something that you really appreciated, and even though Mark loved having you in his videos, he always respected that. You lived right next door, and Mark had quickly become you best friend after you met him. So naturally you were in a few of his videos. His fans seemed to really like you. It was because of those videos that you met Tyler.

Tyler Scheid had become one of your favorite parts of every day. He'd gone from friend, to best friend, to boyfriend, and the two of you couldn't be happier He was sweet, considerate, funny, all together perfect for you. Of course, the two of you told Mark, Ethan, Amy, Kat, and a number of other loved ones. But the relationship was yours, something usually kept just between the two of you. Neither of you saw any reason to make it anyone else's business. Thus, the viewers didn't know. 

It had been four months since the two of you had started dating. You were curled up in your bed with the charity livestream playing. You had been invited, they always invited you and you always kindly turned down the offer. You were perfectly content watching the stream from behind your screen. The fans really took to you, and you all knew this, but it came as a surprise when someone asked if you'd be in any upcoming videos.

"Um,' Mark chuckled and looked towards Tyler. :We don't know. We're thinking about inviting her to come and record soon." Amy added to the end of his statement by reading a comment that requested you join the stream. Mark laughed and told everyone that he had called you earlier and you had said no. As a sort of response, Tyler texted and begged for you to come join. You were reluctant, but you agreed. How could you say no to him, after all? This made Mark whine and pout a little.

It was a few minutes later when you finally arrived. They all greeted you excitedly when you walked inside. You said hello to your friends and pulled up a seat behind the couch where Amy and Kat were sitting. In front of them were Mark and Ethan respectively, Tyler on the far side of the couch. You sat behind him and watched as the boys took their turns playing a game you didn't recognize. As if it was the only natural thing to do, your fingers ran through his hair lightly, playing with what grew just at the base of his skull.

Tyler took his turn, taking the controller and starting his round. He wasn't good at the game, that much was clear to you. You teased him relentlessly with the others though you surely knew even less about it than he seemed to. Once he was finished, he grinned, an idea forming in his head.

"I think (Y/N) should play." Your eyes widened at the idea and you simply shook your head.However, your protests were useless as everyone agreed and shifted so you could play. Ethan stole your seat and you moved to sit front and center between Mark and Tyler. 

"I don't even know how to play." You complain. You take the controller from your boyfriend and send him a playful glare. He responds by flashing you a wink. Mark fills the moment, reading tweets from fans that he found under the ridiculous tag that had somehow come to be. Ty pressed close, his hands falling over yours to show you the controls. Once you had gotten the hand of it, he pulled his hands away, but you stayed pressed close, content to feel his body heat mingling with your own.

Eventually you swapped out with Ethan (but only once you were sure that you had thoroughly showed up Tyler). You leaned forward from your seat behind the couch, your arms resting around Tyler's shoulders so you could lean against him. By then, people had begun to notice the way the two of you were acting. You'd reach up to touch his hair, or lean into him. He'd rest his hand against your arm to keep contact, speak up when the groups jokes about you got harsh. Something was going on between you two and it had become crystal clear.

That's when the two of you began to notice the reactions. Comments stating that the two of you were cute together, tweets tagged not only with the stream tag but with a ship name now. Anything and everything. Everyone wanted to be a part of the secret.

You leaned forward between Mark and Tyler, asking if it was something they thought was ready to be addressed. That smile that made you completely weak grew on your boyfriend's face.

"You guys really wanna know if (Y/N) and Tyler are a couple." Mark remarked with a chuckle. "I guess we should ask then." The extremely overdramatic way of asking made you blush. You hid your face in Tyler's neck and bit back a laugh. His hand came up to toy with your hair gently.

"They're waiting." Ethan teased with a giggle. Tyler laughed and leaned his head against yours for a split second before answering.

"She's been my girlfriend for four months now." Tyler confessed. And just like that, notifications flooded in. You were surprised to feel as though a weight had been lifted from your shoulders. You were happy to finally be able to show your affection on camera. Just like that, everything changed, and just like that, everything stayed the same.
