In hindsight it’s really funny that jaimebrienne was subjected to the insane levels of condescension and #platonicwashing and morality about Women Deserve Better that’s usually reserved for people justifying homophobia or racism. And the reason that people hated it so much and said you’re crazy you’re insane they’re just friends and you’re a sick fuck who should be locked up forever if you read anything into that. Was because. She’s tall

i like how you did these backwards... ill answer for murbat this tiem... bc i never answer for them specifically its always me and murdoc... THANK YOU ANON ♥️

17. love at first sight or slow burn?

well............... even though they get together super fast as teenagers. i wouldnt say they were ever in love...

i think baxk then it was mostly murdoc looking for a consistent place for sex LOL sorry to bring that up but it is his nature.

and batty is just kind of like. well. i like him and hes my friend. and i guess i like doing these things with him. but i dont really because i feel objectified. so she never really loved what was going on. and i dont even think she really loved him THAT MUCH as a friend when they were teens. because it was really just... they were the only ones no one else wanted

so yes its definitely a slow burn....... it takes decades for them to like actually acknowledge that maybe um its more than just sexual attraction.... and they do love each other kind of... even though it isnt like normal romance at all in the slightest. its perfect for them though ☝️

11. calling each other by their names, plain and simple, or calling each other really flowery pet names?

no nicknames 😭 even though batty is a nickname murdoc gave her that stuck . other than that and shortened versions of their names... and "love" and "darling" and whatever else . thats it. deffo no flowery pet names LOL

8. constantly bragging about dating each other or keeping the relationship relatively secretive?

murdoc would want to brag about it but batty is deeply ashamed of herself so she insists it gets kept secret and Erm well ☝️ self ship lore in coming ☝️

on plastic beach they start hooking up again but its way worse than every other time because its on Plastic Beach. and they get much closer to each other than batty wants to be and their relationship toes so many lines and batty HATES ITTTTTTT and obvi she doesnt want ANYOEN to know about it

but ☝️ murdoc ☝️ in an interview after plastic beach is over ☝️ lets his loose lips sink ships and he kind of just publicly humiliates batty out of pettiness because she stopped fucking him after pb By talking about like every fling they ever had with rach other. and batty gets rightfully very angry. so thats why they dont talk at all during phase 4. <- very simplified bc i can not be arsed to type every little thing but yeargh
