yes i'm rooting for m*leven breakup because byler is neat but mostly? i'm rooting for m*leven breakup for the sake of el and mike.

to me, their romance was always a puppy love born out of a combination of social pressures, naïve curiosity, and a lack of true understanding regarding intimacy and romantic love and what it really is. it was real in that they do truly, deeply care about each other and they are close friends, maybe even shared an attraction, but a maturing romance is so much more than that. they've grown up and out of being boyfriend/girlfriend, and that's okay! i think television/film needs to show more often that most of us don't have definite "soulmates" or first childhood loves that we spend our whole lives with. it doesn't mean these relationships meant nothing and didn't impact us, it just means they've run their course and that something else is in the cards, and this is part of life!

i've always felt el was at her best and most confident self when broken up with mike, discovering who she was and what she liked alongside another girl her age instead of just relying on mike for mentorship on how to live in the real world. she deserves more of an opportunity to find herself, her autonomy, and her independence, and to love who she is, and she's made it clear she's felt insecure in the relationship with mike because she isn't being loved and understood the way she wants, needs, and deserves from someone who is her partner.

also, it's okay if mike doesn't love her in "the way he should". he is not obligated to love her romantically and stay in a relationship with her just because she's a girl, because she "needed someone", or because he cares about her a lot. he shouldn't be pressured into a romance if it's not truly coming from his heart. he deserves freedom to find out and honour who he is, too, instead of just staying in his non-functional first relationship — one he got into as a child, essentially — and defining himself that way because it's what's expected when a boy and a girl are close. he loves her in some way, yes, but it's okay if he doesn't feel comfortable or secure being her boyfriend anymore, for whatever reason that is. he's felt insecure too, and that's valid and it matters.

they are their own people and are steadily growing and changing every day. they need time to figure out who those people are, and it's become clear (at least in my opinion) that those people aren't meant to be a couple at this stage.

they deserve freedom. they deserve to grow up and be authentic to themselves and not feel like they need to lie for the sake of a relationship. they deserve to move on from this version of their relationship that isn't making them happy and rekindle the best part of their bond: their strong, beautiful friendship. they don't have to be a couple if it doesn't make them stronger and better and happier people.

i think it would be healthy and wonderful for a show, especially one consumed frequently by young adults, to show a relationship starting, progressing, and ending on good terms in this way. sometimes things don't work out, and that is okay.

I love the myth about Hades and Persephone as much as the next girl, but am I the only one who would like for people to focus more on Dionysus and Ariadne? From a narrative and creative standpoint, I mean.

Despite my love for it, I'm no mythology expert, but you can't deny the appeal behind a story about a woman who was abandoned/forgotten by her first love, for whom she gave everything up, meeting and falling in love with a god who loved her genuinely, never mistreated her, and went as far as making her immortal so they could be together.

Can you imagine the potential this story has for modern retellings and tropes? Fake Relationship to Make Your Ex Jealous that Becomes Real, Ladykiller in Love, Cant' Act Perverted Towards a Love Interest, Single Woman Seeks Good Man...

Or for the sake of Pride Month, given Dionysus' love for crossdressing, the fact that Ariadne didn't seem to mind about most, if not any, of his affairs with others, and the undeniable fact that practically no one in Ancient Greece was straight, it also opens up the possibility of playing with queer characters and relationships beyond the nuclear family archetype. An actual modern retelling could even feature a transmac or nonbinary Dionysus in a committed yet open or even polyamourous relationship with Ariadne.

There's also what happens after they end up together, like exploring Ariadne's possible insecurities over being a mortal married to a god and the possible power imbalance. Or her getting used to Olympus or even struggling to move on from Theseus. Oh, and from Dionysus' side, the exploration of finally meeting someone who is immune to his godly charms and chooses to be by his side because she genuinely likes him!

You can't tell me this myth doesn't have the makings of a great source of content.

Sirius wouldn’t swipe right on Remus on any dating apps. That’s a sad fact, that’s the truth.

Good thing they met in person and Remus is at least tall — he has to be tall for Sirius to give him some initial attention.

I adore Sirius but this man is shallow and could easily miss the love of his life.

i was going to joke "someone buy me a ps4 specifically so i can play bloodborne" but the internet is crazy and i feel there is a non-zero risk someone would actually try to do it and then i would feel awful. instead prayer circle that one day i can afford to buy a ps4 specifically so i can play bloodborne
