You're mean. You say I'm too long, and you say I lose things. But I also love you. And the truth is, without you I'd be the one who's lost. Nice save.

I absolutely ADORE the tage "Fuck the noise out of Anakin Skywalker's Head" because it always makes me think thoughts like.

Padme and Obi-wan fucking Anakin so good that he's thoughts empty only his master and angel on his mind and even then he's floating away out into the stars. No more noise only delicious sex that takes the words out of his mouth, that stop his fidgeting hands, that soothe the frown off his face, that relax his muscles his aches.

and i can just imagine the fondness and amusement padme and obi-wan would radiate lookin at anakin all boneless and quiet. all hazy eyed pliant. so eagre to please.

Mike and El's fight: getting each other and not understanding each other at the same time

I was rewatching some s4 scenes last night, and during Mike and El's fight, there's always been something that makes my brain start making desperate alarm noises, and This post portrayed perfectly what the scene always reminds me of.

So let's see:

We know this is true. Mike does know what it's like to be bullied. But despite having seen him confront bullies and almost dying jumping off that cliff in s1, El doesn't feel understood. Mike is trying to connect with her and let her know she's not alone, because yes, he does get it.

And El not feeling understood doesn't only come from Mike's cold attitude toward her when the incident just happened, or Mike not being able to say "I love you". These factors definitely add to it, but that's not all.

For El, there's nothing out of the ordinary with Mike, something that makes him REALLY different, unlike her with her powers and being raised in a lab. From El's perspective, the bullies Mike has come across are wrong in targeting Mike because what they say it's not true, they're just being mean. But they're right about her.

She is actually different, she doesn't fit in society in a conventional way thanks to her powers and her childhood, and she never will. She can't ignore her past and it's not that easy to move on and pretend when you're different from other people who expect you to conform to their vision of how someone should be like.

But the thing is, El is unaware this rings true for Mike too. Inadvertently, she's describing exactly how he feels and why he's a target for bullies. This isn't her fault, as she wasn't raised in society in a conventional way. She probably has no idea homophobia is a thing or how it's a systemic issue, bigger than one or two random bullies.

Mike still tries to connect with El, but their fight starts getting worse from this moment on, and yes, their issues aren't JUST because El told Mike he doesn't understand, but a big part of their crumbling relationship does come from not understanding each other.

Queer kids feel like they don't belong all the time, because that's what society teaches them as they grow up. Love stories are not about them, adventures aren't about them. Songs and art are all about falling in love with the opposite gender. (Yes this is slowly changing, but this is the 80's and homophobia is still a thing in the world in our current era.)

El says "anywhere", and this still applies to queer kids. No matter where in the world you are, homophobia is present in some way or another. Especially in the 80's.

And something funny happens. Because here's Mike not understanding El, despite this applying to his experience with bullying too. This is him not understanding her troublesome, abusive childhood, and how having superpowers doesn't automatically make it better. But Mike is baffled, because in his eyes, El is amazing, a superhero, she has people who care about her and love her (her family, not just him), and she gets to be the hero of the story. The bullies are obviously just dumb and don't get it!

....That's exactly how El perceives Mike's story with bullying, too. She doesn't realize he feels and is different too. She's unaware of the repression, of how society turns against certain groups of people and makes their lives a living hell simply for existing.

Mike has people who care about him and love him. But you never know who is going to turn their backs on you the moment the truth is out. And anywhere you go, homophobia is still present and it's not only emotionally draining and affects your self-perception, but it can also be physically dangerous.

So, in the middle of their discussion and failing to understand each other.... They do get it, but aren't communicating it clearly. El is going to understand once the truth is out, because they aren't so different after all.

So no, they don't understand each other. But they could because their experiences and feelings of self-worth and how they (not)fit into the world aren't that different after all.

One of the things I love the most about Sanuso is that they follow the "knight x damsel in distress" trope word for word but the roles change constantly.

If somebody hurts Sanji, Usopp doesn't even have to think twice despite his fears because he will protect him and then tease Sanji like "is my prince alright? <3" as if he just hadn't probably killed a man for him.

And if somebody hurts Usopp, Sanji will go into a state of defense and protectiveness and revenge that nobody can get him out of unless he makes sure it's safe for Usopp and then he will go to Usopp and genuinely ask if he is hurt because the mere possibility of losing him sends him into a spiral of constant anxiety and fright.

The thing is-- They both carry each other princess style at some point and I think it sums up their relationship pretty well.
