Happy Women's Day to all who celebrate

Incomplete list of my silly little headcannons about Thea

(bc the joys of picking an underrated character to latch onto is I can say whatever the hell I like and who's gonna argue with me?)

-south-asian Thea, always!!!

I don't know huge amounts about South Asian culture but I do know that they have some amazing festivals. Personally I think that Thea was raised Hindu and her favourite festival was Holi- I also think that her least favourite part of being in the nest was the lack of colour. I like to think that each year she'd decorate her dorm with colourful paper to celebrate (yes I know they use coloured water and powder but that would be Messy and thea is Sensible)

-i think that thea was a middle child but one of the eldest so she had a lot of responsibility for her younger siblings. She fell in love with exy because it was something that was only hers, no one else in her family was interested in playing such a violent sport

-i think that out of everything, the strict diet was hardest for her to adjust to

The partner system was fine- her partner was chill, they had similar tastes, enjoyed spending time together, and neither of them got into serious trouble. The strict timetable was a breath of fresh air after the unstructured chaos of her homelife, the 16 hour days didn't even matter, she thrived under consistency and clear instruction. Even the hive mind mentality didn't bother her, it was fairly easy to fake even if she didn't agree with it, but the food? It was bland and boring and she really found herself missing the freedom to cook for herself and eat what she wanted

-whilst I don't think she was abused as a child, I do think it wasn't the best childhood and I think tetsuji not only knew this but actively targeted people with rough family dynamics when recruiting

-before the nest her favourite colour was red. By the time she got out she'd grown to hate it. After that she didn't have a favourite colour for a while but by the time she and Kevin started talking again, it was almost definitely orange

-she went through a goth phase in high school

-when she's anxious or struggling mentally she braids her hair. She was originally taught by her roommate in the nest and went on to learn all sorts of fun, complicated little braids

-her favourite season is spring

Its like people who hold so strongly onto those arguments about their faults don't know any... real people.

Newsflash, real people make mistakes. Real people react and cope and retraumatise themselves and rebound and get.better.with.every.lesson.learned.

Do better indeed.

so respectfully if you think Thea Muldani or Nicky Hemmick are the biggest offenders/red flags/shittiest people in aftg I need you to take a step back and ask yourself why your top two offenders are two of the only canon characters of color who have minor side roles in a book series about trauma and morally grey characters with a main love interest who, ahem; openly commited murder, orchestrated drugging not only Neil but Matt aswell, almost nerfed Allison, and many other things.

Nicky and Thea definitely did some not okay things, and you don't have to be comfortable with their actions, but actively condemning them is fuckin wild and very sus. You can't condemn them and not Condemn Neil or Andrew for any of the just as bad and often worse shit they do in aftg, period. And yet here you guys are condemning them- with flimsy reasoning- so deeply the author of this series barely wants to talk about them. Do Better.

Everyone out of my way I am rollerblading down yalls tumblr dash in a celebratory, ecstatic circuit bcs war on Thea is over and she won all the awards

My reaction to that informarion:

[stick-ball]

I am SCREAMING

Babe, Babe this is SO GOOD. 😳💖

I could read 100k of them, Kathea is my new favourite thing!!! How you describe them? SO touching! Its an incredibly solid vision in my mind immediately. It all makes perfect sense, and as you said, it's a really exquisite recipe indeed!

You just reblogged my Vixens gc post and God. The idea that Katelyn would upgrade from an emotionally stunted bf to an even more emotionally stunted gf who's also an ex (barely) member of the cult that harrassed your school for a year. NIGHTMARE. I just know every birthday and holiday season they hit Katelyn with the "It was very hard picking your gift because they don't sell better taste in partners".

But honestly. At least Thea's tall.

I’ve lost the OG Ask that requested my Kate x Thea lore, but there’s also this cheeky one right here so thank you anon for allowing me to vent about the 2 girls after my heart. Also thank you to @stick-ball for making the Thea Muldani Protection Squad reality and for enabling me in return <3

I'm still thinking about what Nora wrote in the recent Thea Muldani post, and it has me reeling in the best way possible.

I feel like it could have been an important moment for Thea - when Jean started following her around after joining the Ravens bcs. She was a black woman in that mess of a place and it was *hard* and as Nora said, nobody gave a flipping fuck about her really. No matter the effort she put in.

She fought hard for every little slip of recognition and approval. But still, no matter how good, she was nothing to the others on the team, even people she must've been in some way intimate with, even if in a shallow way. Then, though, everyone knows Kevin and Riko, and how above everyone else on the team they are. The standing is written plainly on their cheeks, so that no one forgets it, and the number on her jersey is far, far from theirs.

But then, there's the third guy. None of them really knew much about Jean before he joined them in his freshman year, did they? Maybe im forgetting something, but to my knowledge from all we know, Jean was not a celebrity kid, but a dirty secret for the Moriyamas. So, there's this other guy, who has a number 3 appointed to him by the Master himself, and from all possible people to follow, he is there right at her heels whenever he can. He did it bcs she was that good, and he wanted to get pointers to assimilate with the teams work smoothly enough to not get more punishment than he already was receiving but, Thea doesn't really know this does she? Not about the punishment and most likely not about the fact they do think she's good enough to be noticed by the perfect court either. It's not riko who's noticing, but it's still something, isn't it? So yeah, I think they must be maybe not friends exactly, but in some weird way, it must be some kind of landmark for them both. Maybe that will turn into a kind of friendship years later in a healthier setting?

But again, imagine the mess of that: Jean is always with Riko and Kevin, except when he's following the girl everyone around is trying to put "in her place". And he matters in some way, he must, because standing is everything in the nest, and he's right after the sons of exy.

I dont think it makes Thea "stand a bit taller" or feel stronger or whatever, bcs she knows she is strong and talented and is worth being here. Or at least she tries to remember that her belief in herself is what got her here. Her faith must come from within. But everyone still needs the recognition of all that hard work. To not burn out. At least every once in a while, especially in a place so devoid of it as the Nest. And maybe Jean was the person to first show that recognition to her, without even knowing it?

To the person who first blocked me, and now unblocked me after the thea war being resolved:

We live and we learn pals. What I learned today is if there's an angry aftg blogger in your house there will always be an angry aftg blogger in your house.

Sending you all mental growth hormones! ✨️ ❤️

Edit: Nora’s Newest Post About Thea

What if I made a server for all Thea Muldani protection squad members, and we could all hold hands and discuss our headcanons without people being weird what then
