#we don’t talk ab it

a little klance headcanon in honor of christmas eve.

so keith is so used to hoarding food staying low during christmas week at the foster system. it was undoubtedly the most hectic week, when the kids went feral, wanting the opportunity to be adopted when families came around, charities etc. he never felt a sense of belonging, especially throughout that week.

naturally, keith hated christmas. until, of course, lance. the first year they were dating, lance insisted keith come home with him, to a hispanic household. as reluctant as he was, he did end up going. and for the first time of his life, he felt home. home with lance.

lance’s siblings treated keith as one of them, his mother asked him to help make dinner, help turn on the chimney, and set the gifts under the tree. he tied mistletoe underneath the doorway as lance explained all his family transitions and well- they were under the mistletoe after all.

for once, keith was able to say that he had enjoyed christmas. that he didn’t need to hide in his room with scraps of food because he was afraid of starving in the next couple of days. he didn’t have to wear several layers and wrap himself with the layers of his bed.

he was out of the system. he was free. and surprisingly enough, he had someone. he had lance.

how people go about interpreting dr bashir I presume? really frustrates me sometimes ngl especially the “jules bashir died” scene.

like that whole scene is about julian revealing the depth of how deeply his augmentations fractured his sense of identity and who he is - which feeds into the themes of the whole episode surrounding how disability and then by extension disabled people are often viewed as a problem to be solved and because of that are often denied the ability to have fulfilling lives because the able bodied people around them don’t believe that they can.

but… idk, when the fandom talks about it there’s always seems to be a push to read a trans allegory into it that I don’t think is really there? I keep mulling over this post in my mind and when I initially reblogged it I didn’t really want to talk about this because the post is about how stories about racism can be hijacked by white people to be made about their own transness and it felt like as a white person, using that post to complain about ableism would be missing the point. but it really helped me articulate in my mind why the trans reading of this episode feels off to me because the same general principle seems to apply and that is taking a story trying to discuss a specific type of marginalisation and putting a trans reading above it because you can relate more to it personally.

“jules bashir died in that hospital because you couldn't live with the shame of having a son who didn't measure up!” this scene is the culmination of julian expressing his pain about what was done to him as a disabled child by his parents due to how they viewed his disability. but often when I see it being discussed, people aren’t really interested in talking about that. instead supplanting it with a trans reading instead which, in my opinion is an allegory that doesn’t even really work when you think about what’s going on in the broader context of the scene.

julian didn’t stop going by jules because he came to the conclusion on his own that the identity didn’t suit him similar to the way a trans person questions or rejects the gender they were assigned at birth, he stopped going by jules because he felt like the identity attached to that name was taken from him because of what his parents did. it’s not julian affirming who he wants to be it’s grieving over who he can’t be and to me at least, it’s honestly kind of harrowing.

and as an aside: when people read transness into a story about parents who change their child’s body and mind at a very young age without consent, which is literally a narrative projected onto trans people by transphobes to justify the curtailing of trans rights, that also doesn’t sit well with me. I think people latch onto this reading because of the idea of “killing a name” but again in the context of the whole episode the trans reading really doesn’t feel appropriate.

I think it’s okay for people to have trans headcanons about julian of course or literally any character they want to really, but I think saying that specific episode codes him as trans isn’t all that great honestly.

I can’t like. DESCRIBE how viscerally upset I get when I realize just how unfair it is that Ethan wanted NOTHING MORE than to be there for Rose. To love her, to raise her, to be her father. And Mia (seemingly, at least) HAD THAT OPTION AND DITCHED HER. SHE (I wanna reiterate seemingly) HAD THE ONE THING ETHAN WANTED MOST IN THE WORLD AND S Q U A N D E R E D IT.

tbf it would’ve made so much more sense for ein to be jealous of aaron if jess didn’t wanna go into the romance route for those two

aaron is the ultima werewolf, the king werewolf above all other werewolves. ein was abandoned by zack because he was an omega, the lowest ranking werewolf within the hierarchy, he was left by his own father because he was so weak as a werewolf.

aaron has everything ein ever wanted, he was blessed with the power ein has longed for all this time. and yet, he hates it, he sees it as a curse, a weight hindering him within his life.

ein is not only jealous of aaron’s status, he’s envious of how aaron resents his seemingly perfect life. ein wants to bring him down, not bc he was in love with aph the entire time, but because he was filled with rage and hatred

and maybe that’s why he put zane under the forever potion’s effects even though garroth would’ve been a better choice. he wasn’t using zane, he pitied him. he saw a small part of himself in zane, a part of himself who strived to achieve the height of someone who’s power was unreachable.
