BLOG POST NO. 16 - ADOPTION? MORE SOUGHT OUT THAN YOU THINK

I know that there are some teens and kids that joke about plotting to get adopted by Bruce Wayne since the dude apparently has a hoarding problem when it comes to adoption papers and kids (and also he’s rich af). But I’m too old for that, so obviously the best option is for me to marry into the family.

Then reality hits me and I slap myself in the face because wtf intrusive thoughts, stop making me want to marry into money, I’m strong and independent. And also, it’s a weird thought to have considering the fact that I’m pretty sure the only Wayne who isn’t under any dating rumors or outright publicly dating anyone is Duke, and that’s weird because he’s my friend and I don’t wanna seem like I’m just using him because of his status or some bullshit like that.

Plus, Jason Todd-Wayne is more of my type but we’ve been over this so I digress.

It is honestly concerning when you think about the amount of kids or teens that would readily throw themselves at the feet of the city’s billionaire and beg to be adopted just because said billionaire is known for having adopted a lot of kids. What makes it sadder is the fact that I know that some of these people are only genuinely considering it because they wanna have a better life, one way or another. And also because the Wayne family is considerably nicer compared to other rich families in Gotham.

I guess it’s one of the more depressing things about Gotham? Just hearing a lot of young kids talk about how they’d like to be adopted by someone rich because their life is pretty shitty.

Then there’s the other side of the coin, which is parents from lower class families who also think of ways to get their child adopted by rich people because they want a better life for their child.

It’s a bleak thought but I’ve lived here long enough to know that it’s the reality for some people.

In a lot of ways, the upper class is just under way better living conditions compared to ordinary folk who have no choice but to fight for their lives on the streets.

Thinking about this kinda stuff makes you glad about all the charities and funding that Bruce Wayne does for the community. He may not be able to adopt every single child in Gotham, or help every single person in need directly, but he’s at least doing his best to help those that he can. Which, to be fair, is still a fuck ton of people. Like me.

greta gerwig really said. when this girl gets a little sad and confused by the weird and complicated and uncomfortable parts of being human and growing up, she meets god and sits at her kitchen table, drinks her tea, holds her hands. and she asks god if she’s allowed to be happy. and god tells her she doesn’t need her permission. she tells her she’s going to be okay.

Not to be that person, but if Kamala Harris were a white man with the exact same ideals, positions, and beliefs, it wouldn’t have even been a competition. Realising that the worst thing you can apparently be is a woman, is truly devastating.

Taking the current topic as an excuse to ask you to tell me all the reasons you love Rarijack. Your art for the ship is so sweet and intimate I'd love to hear any in depth thoughts you have.

Breathes in.

I think what makes their dynamic really strong is that they have opposing personalities but aligned values. It's deeper than just "opposites attract." Rarity's fancy, prissy, and femme while Applejack's modest, rough, and "masculine." But both value hard work (to the point of being workaholics), their families (both have guardianship over their little sisters), running successful businesses, and eventually each other. Their relationship can be boiled down to, "Despite our differences/disagreements, I still like you because we value the same things."

We see their relationship develop so much. In the first season, they can't stop bickering about surface-level differences. By season four, they still bicker, but will mend their relationship because they can't help but do nice things for each other. In Trade Ya, they start off arguing over personality differences (Applejack likes old junk and Rarity likes useless crap). Then they pivot and start arguing that they value their relationship more than the other. In the end, they mend things by sacrificing their needs and buying each other a gift. Even if they don't understand it, they know it'd make the other happy. And that's all that really matters. It's a genuinely sweet moment that shows how arguing can be healthy and necessary for relationships to strengthen.

We even see them dropping their hang-ups about each others' personalities. In Made in Manehattan, when Rarity runs off in dramatics about someone's fashion, AJ doesn't roll her eyes or scoff, she smiles. Oftentimes, their conflicts are very common domestic conflicts romantic couples face. Applejack's Day Off is about a woman's inability to balance work and life and find time to properly spend with her partner, causing her partner to feel neglected.

By season seven, they're actively participating in each others' interests. Any problems or conflicts that arise are dealt with, and they come out the other end stronger and closer. In Honest Apple, AJ pretty much spells out why their relationship works so well: even though she doesn't understand fashion, she can recognize and appreciate how much work it takes and wants to respect that. When she realizes her mistake in the episode, AJ goes above and beyond to fix things and apologize to Rarity. They care about each other so much.

The two go out of their way, sacrificing their personal desires and beliefs and doing things they normally wouldn't, to make the other happy. That's just love.

There's Simple Ways, where AJ gets stuck in an unwanted love triangle between Rarity and her hipster crush. And her frustration and anger can be so easily interpreted as AJ finding herself in a terrible position; the girl she loves wants another man, and that man wants her.

I dunno. I've always had a preference for opposites attract ships, but Rarijack's stuck with me like a brain worm because they have the perfect chemistry. The way they show they care, or do things for each other, I've always read it as the truest representation of romance in the show.
