i lost the post but i saw someone talking about how some of y’all act like being weird is a choice and like. YEAHHHHHHH.
that’s fine, it might be for you. but i just live like this and don’t know any other way. like yeah i’ve worked customer service, i can do innocuous small talk, but anything beyond that, i don’t understand what i’m missing. and it’s frustrating to see the tonal disconnect especially from people who are like “uwu embrace weirdness!!” where they’re like. dressing quirky and talking about bugs and listening to obscure music and eschewing small talk to ask Deep Questions on the first date and unlearning their tendency to not infodump. and generally have an idea of what Weirdness is supposed to look like. idk man some of us wake up and get out of bed and can’t figure out why the rest of their coworkers chitchat with each other but when they join the conversation it dies.
weirdness is value neutral. let’s stop trying to turn it into a badge because quite frankly, it’s not a choice for everyone. it’s fucking exhausting to never be on the same wavelength as other people and they’re going to react the way they do and label you the way they will without any conscious actions on your end. it’s difficult to talk about this without feeling like you’ll be dismissed as immature, a teenager whining “no one understands me” but the thing is. sometimes you don’t grow out of feeling alone and different, and there’s no good way to talk about it without feeling like people will think you’re just fishing for pity.
#most of it is stuff i can’t help like!!!#coworkers and i don’t share a lot of interests so i’m always like. yes i’ve heard of that show but haven’t seen it. no idk that band sorry#and they’ll like. talk shit abt other people who share my interests without realizing that i also like those things#so i just have to sit there and take it#i feel like i don’t have a lot in common with my friends even. a few shared interests but very different lives#in my experience the conscious choice has been to try to keep up with what’s popular but it’s just. not interesting to me#i got bored and forgot to finish s2 of stranger things and never picked it back up#even alt subcultures have gone kinda mainstream and i never quite slot in#let’s not even touch the gay culture ‘flags’ that are extremely online and unrelatablr#and the most frustrating thing. every time i try to talk about myself and my interests i feel people shutting down#one person i know. open mouth sighs in exasperation when i open my mouth#i don’t know why you’re making it my problem that we’re different#i know there is supposed to be a niche out there for everyone but some of that feels like#those niches are falling prey to marketability. if you’re too far out of the mainstream. too out of touch. it can’t be helped#a lot of messaging online is like. embrace weirdness but only if it’s subversive in a very specific way#too normal to hang out with self-proclaimed proud weirdos. too weird to hang out with normies#like i thought the thing was to disavow performativity. i’m sorry i don’t find the same things interesting#i don’t care about the office and you don’t care about the hundred years’ war. that’s fine. why is that seen as a personal fault of mine#i feel like some of the reaction i get might be bc it comes across as hipster shit. idk#i’m literally just oblivious and looking for any kind of indicator for social interaction#but so often it feels like the onus of finding common ground is on me. i have to listen abt things idk but no one cares what i have to say#i think what makes it more frustrating is this reaction from people who claim to not care. do their own thing#and then get annoyed when i do mine and it’s. different#instead of being like ‘fuck the mainstream! conformity is bullshit! be yourself!’ it’s like#‘fuck the mainstream because it doesn’t appeal to me personally and i’ve made my own club!’#and this is not going to come out right because i’m just at my limit and venting and don’t know how to say things the right way#so people don’t misunderstand me#i just happen to never like the Right Things and know the Right Things and act the Right Way and idk how else to say it other than#can we be more normal about weird people#idk it’s hard to talk abt this without sounding like i’m just complaining but i’m more bewildered and trying to state things as i see them

So, Jia Xichun has Gloom for Skill 1, Gluttony for Skill 2 and Envy for Skill 3. What the hell does that mean.
So I wasn't initially going to make a full on analysis, as I don't want to burn myself out on Sin Analyses all over again... But then I thought about it. And thought about it some more... and oh, girl... Oh dear... Oh honey...
So yeah we're doing this
Gloom S1: Gloom as a Sin is associated with negative emotions, dwelling on the past, sinking into despair, and self-destruction. The two Sinners we have with a Gloom S1 - Yi Sang and Gregor - are both people who get easily thrown into reminiscing about their past by seemingly minor happenings, especially Gregor who's quite literally got PTSD.
The easiest way to read this is as a reflection of Xichun's trauma with the Jia Family, and the anxiety she's developed because of it. She's shown to be extremely concerned with building a faction, likely something required of her as one of the candidates for the Family Head, and for a brief moment she even suspects Hong Lu of potentially trying to kill her if she joins up with him, even though Wei points out that Hong Lu is different to the rest of her siblings.
There's also something else I've noticed in the few lines Xichun gets thus far in this Canto - the way she reminisces about her home and past. Unlike Hong Lu, who brings up anecdotes of his life seemingly to try and lighten the mood, unaware that they sound fucking insane to any normal listener, Xichun is very very aware of them being bad memories. And the moments she's pushed into reminiscing seem... very interesting.
The first time is when she manages to shut Hong Lu up and make him stop bothering her by telling him not to embarrass her (which is a line that makes me insane for a completely different reason unrelated to this post), causing her to reminisce and compare Hong Lu's current state to how he was the last time they met.
The second time is when she's failing to extract any useful info from the Priest, comparing the state he's in to the state people tortured by the Jia Family would be reduced to (one of those people likely being Hong Lu himself, judging by his completely silent reaction).
Compare this to the one time Hong Lu reminisces about something towards Xichun. He compares their current predicament, of only temporarily working together, to a truce made over some snacks. He understands what she's saying, he's just either refusing or straight up unable to comprehend the severity of what she's saying. You can tell if she were the one reminiscing here it would be a much darker memory than this.
So.
Xichun is a young woman who was left full of anxiety after having to live in the Jia Household, this anxiety only being made worse by the rivalry she's forced into against her siblings due to circumstances outside of her control.
This anxiety is likely the main cause for her hostility, which acts as her defense mechanism to push people who could harm her away from her, though in the process she ends up sabotaging herself by trying to push away the people who genuinely want to help her, like Hong Lu.
She's a deeply traumatized person, who gets reminded of her family's abuse whenever she sees people around her act in a similar way to the victims of the Jia Family.
That's what I believe her Gloom S1 is meant to reflect.
Gluttony S2: Gluttony as a Sin is associated with hunger, desire, inability to feel satisfied, and in certain cases survival. The two Sinners who have a Gluttony S2 - Gregor and Ishmael - are both heavily tied to survival, being the main focus of the "Survival is a Sin" scene in Canto 1 with Yuri. At the same time though, the object of their Gluttony differs - for Gregor, it's normalcy, a desire to escape the nightmare he lives in, one which he can't reach due to the scars left in him by the Smoke War; for Ishmael, it's finding Ahab, a desire that turns into an obsession with killing a survivor in an act of revenge, one if she were to fulfill would leave her empty and with no other reason to keep on living.
Xichun herself seems to continue the trend of Gluttony being tied to survival, as a lot of how she treats others can be very easily tied into her trying to avoid being picked off by her Family. The main object of desire in Xichun's case appears to be Power.
The first thing Xichun notices and mentions upon seeing Hong Lu is his lack of a well-built faction, and from the way her own posse is described, it seems she herself took the time and effort to build a group that is more than capable of both protecting her and dealing serious harm. She appears to care a lot about the Power numbers give her, especially with how she describes the methods her siblings would use to kill her.
It's not that Yuanchun or her other siblings would personally come after her, no, their Power, and by extention her own, come from the people who surround the siblings. The lackeys, the minions, the faction.
There is also... something else Xichun is searching for in La Manchaland, something that I believe ties back into this desire of hers. Xichun's sole reason for coming all this way is her search for a specific piece of information, and considering her reaction to the story being told by Sansón, it's not impossible for that info to be related to the Rivers of the deep.
...This is where I have to do a bit of speculation, as the Rivers are a part of PM's world we still don't know much about.
Here's what we know for sure about the Rivers:
At least some of them are analogous to the Rivers of Hades, as the River of Oblivion shares the name with one of them, Lethe.
2. The Rivers seem to primarily possess powers that directly influence one's consciousness, whether it be giving one visions of the future that drive them into madness, or completely oblivionize one's identity.
3. Considering the above use of 'well' as a synonym for the Rivers, it's very possible they're Heavily Connected to the Well LobCorp would draw from using Cogito.
So. We don't really know the reason for Xichun to be searching for info on the Rivers. However, from what little we know of what they might be able to do, it's not unlikely her goal is to try and use their Power in some way. It would fit with what we know of her so far, and while our own knowlege is limited, the fact that one of those Rivers was LobCorp's Well shows that when harnessed, they can be incredibly Powerful resources indeed.
So.
Xichun is a person who has been put in a situation where her primary concern is her own survival, as she's put in constant danger by her Family. This has likely led to her developing an unsatiable desire for some form of Power.
This desire primarily manifests itself through Xichun's concern with surrounding herself with powerful people and building her own faction, as it's clear the biggest threat her fellow siblings pose to her is through their own lackeys. Her experience would have clearly taught her that's what being Powerful is all about.
However, due to the nature of this desire as something that cannot be satisfied, a faction is not enough for Xichun. While this is my speculation, I believe this same desire for Power is exactly why Xichun is searching for information on the Rivers within La Manchaland, likely believing that the Power they have would be a highly valuable resource to her.
That's what I believe her Gluttony S2 is meant to reflect.
Envy S3: Envy as a Sin is associated with a sense of inferiority, lack of control and free will, jealousy, and attempts to copy others. The one Sinner with an Envy S3 - Sinclair - is shown to be deeply insecure and easily manipulated into acting a certain way by people who show him attention. He's implied to covet the aura and the kind of presence Demian carries with him, and his fears and feelings of inferiority are the flaw he struggles with the most visibly.
Xichun, at her core, is a deeply insecure person. One of the first things she says about herself is expressing the opinion that she's nowhere close to the level her older siblings are at. She's someone who tries to do what they do, coveting the Power and status they hold, but is unable to match them in her own eyes.
And then. There's this line.
Xichun considers herself to be So below her other siblings, that she sees herself as such a non-threatening figure that there's a chance her siblings would straight up ignore her in their rivalries. This line, I think, exemplifies just how deep and pervasive Xichun's Envy is.
There's also this moment, again further showing her lack of confidence, immediately putting herself down and claiming her prediction is probably wrong the moment she's asked to share it.
So.
Xichun feels a deep sense of inferiority, often comparing herself to her siblings and feeling jealous of their own Power and status. She feels self-conscious about her own lack of those things compared to her Family, to the point where she considers herself completely irrelevant at points of notable weakness.
It's very likely that everything Xichun does stems from that feeling of not being the one in control of the situation, of being so weak that her siblings would feel she's not worth the effort. She needs Power, she needs to be on the same level as her other siblings, because without it, she's considered nothing.
Perhaps it's part of what infuriates her about Hong Lu's behavior. We've seen he's extremely self-sacrificial, willing to just lay down and accept pain simply because he knows why other people would want to inflict that on him. He's someone who seems to put himself in a position of weakness willingly. Of course Xichun would hate seeing that, as someone who doesn't have the choice not to be in a similar position herself.
That's what I believe her Envy S3 is meant to reflect.
I love her. I'm so scared for her.
It makes me wonder if the choice to give her white bits in her hair is meant to invoke the idea of someone's hair turning white prematurely from stress. After all, if there's anyone in the Jia Family who would be stressed to the point of that happening, it would be the one who considers herself the weakest out of all of them...

While I still don't think the show has done enough to show why the world despises and fears male channelers (since it really should've been embedded into the world building, so far we only know that the Aes Sedai hate and fear them) and it does kinda lessen the impact of the narrative that none of the EF5 had at least an initial gut reaction to Rand being able to channel. I do wonder how they're gonna handle that topic moving forward, cause it kinda has to be addressed now that Rand is actively channeling. I could see it being expanded more deeply as Rand's madness progresses/tie it into his arc.
the show has made it ABUNDANTLY clear that Male Channelers Are Considered Bad News By All. it IS embedded into the worldbuilding. was the king saying that logain's gone mad and trying to kill him not enough for you? was the people of tar valon jeering and throwing fruit at him not enough for you? was rand and mat saying "hey if i'm a male channeler please kill me" not enough for you? was rand's terror the second he realized selene saw him channel not enough for you? was selene's act of how a normal person would react to finding out her boyfriend can channel not enough for you? was his heartbroken yet unsurprised reaction to her rejection not enough for you? was the whole backstory of a male channeler causing the apocalypse not enough for you? do you think that show-onlys are completely incapable of putting all these pieces together along with aes sedai treatment of male channelers and coming to the conclusion that male channelers are probably not very popular with most people and it's going to be very tough for rand that he is one?
literally what else should they have done that would make sense within the very small world and very early story of the first 2 seasons/3 books that they didn't already do? shown emond's fielders sitting around the dinner table talking about how much they hate and fear male channelers when none of them has ever met one and thus it's not relevant to their lives? wasted time doing a whole sidequest for rand in s2 where his abilities are discovered by some Average Citizens and they react badly? shit all over show!mat's characterization and given him a negative reaction to rand in s2 that would not make sense for his current show headspace, just for the sake of furthering rand's randpain? i'm sick of the rand stans who act like rand is the only character who matters and mat's characterization should be sacrificed just so we can go "oh poor rand uwu even his own best friend is mean to him". portraying mat in 2x06 as the sort of person who bullies and kicks his best friend while he's down would've been beneficial because......? what is so wrong with the show making the ef5 feel like mutually loyal friends instead of "rand is the best and most loyal friend in the world but the rest are little shits who abandon him as soon as the going gets tough"? seeing as in the books, mat continues to be an extremely loyal friend to rand throughout the series but most readers are too stupid to see through his unreliable narration and realize he doesn't mean it when he says that rand channeling is like him eating babies, i'm not surprised the show decided to simplify things in order to convey the true heart of mat's character (loyal and caring friend to rand) in a more obvious manner.
and i guarantee you that no show-only is going "oh, it's only aes sedai who have a problem with male channelers, everyone else thinks they're cool". that's not happening. show-onlys are not stupid, and they understand that male channelers are considered bad news by all; or maybe they haven't thought much yet about how male channelers are viewed by the average public, but in future seasons once we see rand getting shit from the average public, they are not going to be surprised or confused or go "but i thought it was only aes sedai who had a problem with them and everyone else thinks they're cool?", they're going to go "oh, well we've seen how much aes sedai hate them, so it makes sense that everyone else does too". stop. think for 2 seconds about "have i actually seen a large number* of show-onlys misunderstanding X and/or do i think it's plausible that a large number of show-onlys would be likely to misunderstand X, or do show-onlys have enough context clues to figure out X for themselves or to be unsurprised when X is expanded on and made more explicit in future seasons and i'm working myself up into a state over a non-issue?"
*there are always going to be a handful of people incapable of critical thinking who willfully misunderstand what the show is showing us, just like there are readers like that with the books, hence unless a LARGE number of general-population show-onlys are misunderstanding X, as opposed to just 20 idiots on twitter, i do not consider it a failure by the show in portraying X.
#ok i got irrationally heated here lmao but i've received asks like this approximately one hundred times since s2 and i'm sick of them#i just feel like there's a subset of rand stans who does not care about ANYTHING except him#hence they're like 'how dare the show make mat a more sympathetic character in the early series#and a more outwardly empathetic person & explicitly loyal friend instead of using him as a tool for Randpain'#'how dare the show not dedicate 70% of its runtime to showing how sad life is for poor rand and how the whole world hates him'#and then there's readers' conviction that show-onlys are too stupid to understand any aspect of the worldbuilding or lore#unless it's explicitly and extensively spelled out to them#combine the two and I Get Heated!#anonymous#answered#wot book spoilers

the more I look back at Ozzie's, the more icky I think it is in hindsight?
So like Blitzo invites Stolas out - it's under false pretences and to invade M&M's privacy, but nothing about the way Stolas acts afterwards makes any sense. they're in a sex for services deal just for the book, not dating. yet Stolas shows up super dressed up, is obviously after a mushy romantic time and asks Blitz why he 'asked him out' (like it's a date, something Blitz never said and only half-heartedly was like 'I guess' when Stolas suggested that's what it was). He honestly thinks he can extort into sex out of someone then just segue into a relationship, when they're doing everything they can to send the message that this "date" is just as casual as the meetups are? bro's really out here like 'do romance with me Blitz :( be my boyfriend so I don't need to think twice about the deal Blitz :('
but the other thing I notice is how Blitzo barely even seems to like Stolas in Ozzie's. He rolls his eyes, looks annoyed, barely even knows how to talk to him. it makes the montage in Apology Tour where they apparently had conversations outside during their full moon meet ups that got Blitzo to smile even weirder because in Ozzie's he behaves like they never had a normal conversation before. so did all that actually becoming friends thing happen offscreen in s2 or something…?
the two of them just seem super mismatched outside of the issues with the deal, too. Blitzo is obviously outgoing and likes going places, having fun and is super gregarious with people. Even assuming he gets over his issues with intimacy I can't see it being in character for him to be romantic in an over the top, mushy way. He's more of the tsudere type - honestly his pic with Verosika where they're both serving makes me feel like his previous relationship was more like how Fizz/Ozzie used to be: just two people being bad bitches together. But Stolas has said outright he wants mushy sentimental romance. And that's fine for people who are good at that and into it, it just doesn't feel like a box Blitzo would fit in, especially with all his trauma. The little ways someone like BLitzo would say 'I love you' would never be enough for Stolas because he's massively insecure. (Not to mention he's an indoorsy type who prefers books and plants, stuff Blitz finds boring)
The other thing that bugs me is the framing. It seems in hindsight that Viv intended Ozzie's to be a 'bad ending'. It's somehow a bad ending when the person Stolas is using as his personal escort refuses to roleplay as his boyfriend, but the show sides with Stolas that a transactional deal that's nothing but sex one party is forced to give counts as a 'relationship' and Blitzo blocking it progressing to something more genuine makes him the bad guy. When in reality it's a massive sign of delusion on Stolas' part that he honestly thought he could invite Blitzo inside and act like they're going steady while he still has Blitzo trapped in the full moon deal. Stolas is that guy who hires an escort for sex then gets bitter they don't love him because he developed a one sided bond with them where he could delude himself he wasn't paying for their labor and time, and they'd dip the second the financial side wasn't part of the equation. He outright claims Blitzo 'lied' to him just by looking in his eyes
And this isn't a delusion Stolas had after months of paying someone to say 'I love you'. He has it after months of paying someone to have sex with him and nothing else, then thinks he's owed love because he behaves himself and treats them with more respect for a single evening.
Extremely well put.
It's absolutely wild to think that a lot of us looked at the end of Ozzie's and felt excited for the future, excited to see Stolas do something with that apparent moment of realization. Instead, he's done nothing but double down. He's absolutely someone who pays an escort for sex, shows up at their apartment with a ring, and considers themselves the wronged party when they get a no.

Soo just wanna talk a bit I guess
It's about good omens I know, I know. Half of the fandom is in mourning 'cause of Aziraphale and Crowley in s2 ep6 but I just want to do a character analysis of both for some more added information (ig). Now, I don't know if someone has already done this analysis or not, but fuck it, I'ma just do them anyways. I think we can look at Crowley first since most people do relate to him more than anyone else. In season 1, we are introduced to the fact that Crowley is the snake from Eden. That in itself makes him very important, but in season 2 episode 1, his importance rises so much. We find the fact that they were the ones who geared up the universe, "Let there be light" and stuff, he also said that he worked very close with upstairs. In the final episode of season 2, he could also open a confidential file that could only be accessed by a throne, a dominion, or above. This means; that before falling, he was extremely important/had a high status (whether he was Raphael or not doesn't matter). Again, in the last episode of season 2, during their breakup, he says, "I understand it a lot better than you do." to Aziraphale when he suggests that Crowley go up to heaven with him. Crowley, in this scenario, knows what's going on. He has clearly seen what heaven is like, top to bottom. From Crowley's point of view, both heaven and hell do not understand that there doesn't need to be a war. That Armageddon doesn't need to happen. He has always seen things in grey, from the beginning. Questioning God and her plans; not fully abiding with hell, like, ever; doing whatever the fuck he wants. Now, before I continue, I think I should give Aziraphale's character some more context. I have been hearing about the coffee theory in the fandom. in simple words: Metatron put something in the coffee and manipulated Aziraphale to become the supreme archangel with it. it definitely is an interesting theory, but there isn't much proof I can see. Mainly because, we see their conversation (in bits a pieces, sure), and you can see Aziraphale acting normally. He's wary and concerned. But from the beginning, Aziraphale has always (mostly) seen in Black and Whites (contrary to Crowley). Even if he denies it, he does (it's hard to forget what you believed since you existed). The only person who's shown Aziraphale that, "Hey, there can be more than one option" is Crowley. Only with Crowley has he ever had the choices (not just good and evil). Even then, he believed Heaven is always good and hell's always evil (he has made multiple remarks about him being good and Crowley being evil, for example, in the flashback of the Edinburgh surgeon, he has made that remark. Even when they met in season 1, he said, "Well obviously, you're a demon." after Crowley said that hell just said to go up there and make some trouble). This in itself proves that Aziraphale always thought in black and white even when he tries to divert himself to not think like that. In his eyes, Heaven is good, and Hell is evil. But the angels and the demons can be in between those shades of grey. That Heaven is currently corrupted, and Hell, even more. He doesn't want another Armageddon, he wants heaven to understand what it means to be "good" (good in atleast his eyes). In very simple words; Aziraphale believes that Heaven isn't working properly/is corrupt and wants to/thinks that he can infact fix it, and Crowley believes everything is working the way it's supposed to since he has seen it personally displayed infront of him, since he has been a high ranking angel in Heaven. Or in much simpler words: THEY DON'T FUCKING TALK TO EACHOTHER.
If the both of them could've had a heart-to-heart talk earlier, it could've ended so much differently. Neither of them knows what the other feels and just assumes what they think the other one thinks. It in itself is a toxic mindset to have. They both didn't "break up" because Metatron manipulates Aziraphale or because Aziraphale couldn't return Crowley's feelings (man's (non-binary) literally fell first). It was because neither of them understood eachother. Aziraphale sees Crowley as a demon who wants desperately to be an angel (many indirect remarks have been made like in Job's arc and such) and someone who accidentally fell (which is true at some level). AND Crowley sees Aziraphale as a simple-minded angel who needs rescuing from time to time (which, again, is true at some level). They both are literally forgetting their own nuances and beliefs, and assuming what the other thinks because, say it with me, THEY DO NOT TALK. The reason Crowley felt betrayed was because he didn't realize that Aziraphale wasn't exactly who he thought he was. After all, Aziraphale isn't a simple character, he's a complex character with very strict (too strict) morals. And Aziraphale realized that Crowley really didn't want to go to Heaven OR Hell, since he always thought that Crowley only hated Hell, not Heaven aswell. So it was a shock to him. WHY? BECAUSE THEY DON'T FUCKING TALK TO EACHOTHER. So, when people say that it's because of the coffee, it pisses me off a little. It practically refuses the idea of nuances existing within these characters. Listen, if it's actually because of the coffee or Metatron doing/saying something sinister to Aziraphale, I'll take my L. But for now, I wholeheartedly believe that it was fully Aziraphale's decision to go to Heaven.
so yeah, that's all, I might add to this later, might not.

OFMD SPOILERS AHEAD
.
so i finished our flag means death a few days ago and i finally have coherent thoughts, so i’m gonna talk about izzy’s death
i’ve seen A LOT of people be extremely upset about izzy dying at the end of s2. and i get it. it hurt seeing him die. he’d finally gotten his character arc and he finally was healing and then. death. it hurt. i won’t deny that, it would be disingenuous to act like it wasn’t a painful moment.
but what i cannot get behind is the way some people are framing izzy’s death.
it’s only been a few days of me not aggressively dodging ofmd posts in an attempt to avoid spoilers and in those few days i have seen a truly staggering number of posts framing izzy’s death as being “burying your gays” and that his death is somehow indicative of ulterior motives from the showrunners and writers.
which is just— for the love of all that is holy please use your critical thinking skills. do you not realize how much those claims SCREAM “media illiteracy”?
Bury Your Gays as a trope necessitates a few things. firstly, it’s typically done to further someone else’s story line and secondly, it’s done in stories where there is only one or maybe two queer characters. the writer is burying their one gay, typically for the sake of advancing a straight character’s arc.
that’s not what’s happening with izzy’s death. ofmd is a show that is almost entirely made up of characters who are some flavor of queer. it’s not Bury Your Gays for one of the many gays to die. it’s just character death. which yes, is painful and heartwrenching and heartbreaking. but it’s not inherently homophobic to kill a queer character in media. and izzy’s death doesn’t serve to further anyone else’s character development. people have said it’s just there to like “make sure the writer’s otp end up together” or something like that. which is just such a weird take. first of all the writer’s otp are literally the main characters of this show. and secondly, izzy’s death felt very much like a moment for he and ed to get closure. it had nothing to do with stede, really.
you’re allowed to feel hurt by izzy’s death. in fact, it’s perfectly normal to feel hurt and upset and sad when a character you love dies.
but you can’t start throwing around false and harmful accusations about the writers because the death upset you.
something isn’t objectively bad or “problematic” because YOU didn’t like it. ofmd isn’t homophobic because a queer character that you personally liked died.
and acting like queer people can’t die in media without it being “homophobic” just serves to further other us.
and throwing around accusations that it homophobic is so flippantly is honestly just disappointing.

mickey found not only love in ian but a family and a safe place and ian not only found love in mickey but a safe place for his feelings, family and someone who was gonna love him no matter what, someone who was gonna fall in love with him and want him for who he was and not only for the sexual aspect.
and i really need to talk about this.
the milkovich family and the milkovich house was never a warm, safe place and it didn't feel like a family or like a home. it was about surviving, they weren't extremely close, they barely even talked or supported each other. the milkovich house was about keeping the milkovich reputation intact but nothing else.
but then ian happened.
and ian was warm and bright, and listened to him and supported him and ian cared about him. and most importantly, ian always had his back and he didn't feel like he was on his own, he finally had someone. so he found a family in him, someone that would support him no matter what, someone that would love him in sickness, in health, richer or poorer and beyond death probably. he found a safe place where feelings were allowed, where being vulnerable was okay, where talking was normal and violence wasn't exactly an option. and he learned, he learned how to express his feelings and after spending his entire life thinking he couldn't do that, thinking he wasn't allowed to do that because that meant weakness but turned out that meant maturity and bravery.
and ian was never loved by a man before mickey, both man groomed him and only wanted him for sex they weren't looking for any emotional connection, they weren't trying to be anything special and important for him, they just wanted sex. so he didn't know what love exactly was, he knew about attraction, he knew about sexual tension, about desire but not about love.
but then mickey happened.
and even if at the beginning was only sex it stopped being only about that really quick. mickey didn't have to learn how to take care of ian, he had this natural instinct that knew what to do everytime ian was in danger or needed help. that's the difference between him and those horrible older men. mickey respected ian, he listened to what he wanted and what he didn't want, he took his feelings and his safety into consideration in moments like s2 where he finally doesn't hurt frank. he showed ian what meant to be loved by someone who's not from your family, to be loved by someone who actively chooses to do it, to love you. and he loved every single version of ian and took care of him since very early in the show and in a more obvious way since season 4. so in consequence, he found a safe place in mickey. a safe place he could run, a safe place where he could be at the lowest point and his most vulnerable self without being told he was being too emotional or too sensitive. and he found someone who would fight for him and would fight to stay with him.
so yeah, ian is mickey's family and mickey is ian's proof that true, honest, pure love exists.
#i could talk about them for hours#it's bad#they altered my brain chemistry im not even joking its bad its getting embarrassing#gallavich#shameless#mickey milkovich#ian gallagher#gallavich headcanon#i guess its a headcanon but canon in my heart

Just curious what you don't like about Cory/Topanga if you feel like talking about it!
hey, i don't mind!
first off i think boy meets world in the context of just a purely heterosexual show makes it age pretty poorly, and that all stems from cory and topanga. i know one of the writers said a while back that the writers room was torn between shory and corpanga, and tbh, rewatching as an adult, that's extremely evident. i'm not gonna make this post all about shory bc that's reductive but i am first and formost a shory girl and a firm believer that cory matthews is a gay man
so let's get into it.
i really really love s1/2 corpanga. idk if it's just bc ben/danielle felt more natural back then or if it's bc they actually allowed cory to be wrong and topanga to be right, but it's just so sweet. one of my all time fav ship moments from the show is the frickin sock basketball scene where they touch hands and he giggles. so adorable! but i think what really makes them suffer after s1 (and kind of s2) is just that they clearly made topanga a normal, kelly kapowski girl-next-door type to make her more "desirable" for the male audience. that could be an entire separate post, but it's so fucking obvious that that's what the change was and it sucks because topanga was great the way she was.
they're not like hatable in season 3 exactly, but the "old married couple haha look how old gross and boring they are" trope when they were legitimately sophomores was just weird? and this is a retrospect thing but i hate how the show just kept retconning shit and pretended they never broke up in season 3, as if a HUGE storyline and one of the most iconic episodes (the happiest place on earth) wasn't about them getting back together? and for me just the concept of the ~universe wanting them to be together~ over and over again is just so fucking lame when they were so toxic. (great video on this here)
they really don't do anything wrong in season 4 either, but a long walk to pittsburgh is honestly so beyond ridiculous LMAO. i know everyone talks about how romantic it is, but i hate it because topanga literally runs away and moves back to philly just for cory. i know they claim it's to finish at john adams too, but i would find that much more believable if they had developed topanga AT ALL outside of cory. we know almost nothing about her home life and they wrote trini out so we never even see any friends of hers! the trend of them fighting and talking down to amy about their love is so fucking stupid too. like you are sixteen. it is fine to love someone and want to be with someone, but amy is right that it's not healthy for them to be as obsessed with each other as they are. like cory literally doesn't know who he is outside of topanga and that's NOT healthy.
oh lordy. s5. i'm not going to get into how much i hate that shawngela (a MUCH happier, more interesting relationship) was reduced to "wanting to be corpanga" in both their intro episode and then fucking gmw, but even the "old married couple" stuff in "chasing angela" at the restaurant is so annoying. "last tango in philly" is one of my fav episodes, but it's the perfect example of how cory can never accept he's wrong. shawn tries to tell him they should stop, and he just tells shawn he knows nothing about relationships and keeps being a dick about topanga and her (obviously gay) friend. but obviously, you're here to hear about how i feel about the cheating. yes, cory cheated and he genuinely liked lauren. for the show to act like he didn't is just gaslighting their audience. and tbh? i think ben and linda cardellini had excellent chemistry (certainly more than he and danielle did at that point . . .) and i think it's completely healthy to date more than one person! it was nice seeing cory be able to open up and bond with someone else, and yes, what he did was cheating. just bc he changed his mind and decided he "couldn't live without topanga" (bless u probably queer writer for what u did w that line :') ) doesn't mean that it didn't happen. topanga had EVERY right to break up with him. it does piss me off that we barely saw topanga's reaction to the breakup when there was a whole ep dedicated to shawn's reaction (and i say that as the #1 shawn stan), but that show hated women lbfr. AND WHY TF WAS IT BAD FOR HER TO KISS JONATHAN JACKSON WHEN SHE AND CORY WERE BROKEN UP????? bc cory can't accept things not going his way and not having control. the "we are a masterpiece" scene makes me so fucking angry omg i cannot
and i mean, bro, the yale shit has been talked about to death, but topanga lawrence going to the same college as straight d-student shawn hunter has got to be the dumbest, most woman-hating shit the show ever did. love can survive long distance if you put the effort in, trust me. (yes i am aware that the show prob didn't want to separate their main couple, but s6 was almost entirely about shawn anyway so????)
then in seasons 6 and 7 we get into the "cory yelling at and publicly humiliating topanga" trend. "undapants" is iconic so i'm not gonna go into that episode (fuck you "take her back to your tornado infested trailer park" line!), but i can name at least seven occasions where cory pressures her into sex. and rider strong is right. it was extremely holier than thou how they constantly made it seemed like corpanga was better than shawngela for not fucking before marriage. like isn't there a line where they call shawngela sluts in s7? the whole honesty bit in "the truth about honesty" (admittedly one of my fav eps) is also just ridiculous bc both of them always get pissed off at the other one for being honest, even in the past. i've seen people get mad at topanga for throwing yale in cory's face but lbr, who didn't see that coming? i guess maybe it's a little weird bc she'd never been resentful about it before, but that's a HUGE thing in their relationship. and yes, it is weird that she's using his razor without his permission but again just the pressuring her to show him her ass is also fucking weird (it's also weird imo that they've been together "their whole lives" but they've only ever kissed, but again, holier than thou bullshit)
one thing i can say about how weak and uninteresting their relationship actually is is that their ENTIRE wedding episode is about shory, bc they are the much more compelling dynamic in cory's life. weirdly enough, i do actually really like cory's vows though?? on a shawn hunter stan note, oblig "that best man speech was bullshit" comment. it's completely normal and healthy to have a best friend outside of your partner? especially when you can't be honest with your partner. god i fucking hate that bullshit. just like how i hate in "seven the hard way/the war" how they portray cory abandoning his best friend/true life partner for topanga AND THEN IN FUCKING GMW THE BAD FUTURE FOR EVERYONE LITERALLY CAME TRUE!!!!!!! omg i will go insane if i think about that for longer than a few seconds.
end of post, but leaving this here

Tag game
(Stolen from @the-badger-mole lmao. This looked fun, so I thought I'd do this too.)
1. What ship were you completely obsessed with when you were a teenager, but now you don't care anymore?
Bamon. I still love them, but I’m not invested in tvd anymore and no matter how hard I try, I can’t get back into it.
2. Which ship would you consider your first one?
Mickey/Minnie
3. Your first fanfic belonged to which couple?
Bamon. I ended up making a redo, since I wasn’t happy about how my first attempt turned out. It’s on FFNET.
4. Do you remember the first couple you saw a fanart over?
No
5. Did you ever get into ship discourse?
Yes. I wish I didn’t, but I have.
6. Did you used to have a NOTP or have it currently?
Nikki/Nate as a couple. They aren’t weren’t my fave in S1, but even after S2, I still don’t ship them. I love their friends with benefits arc, but that’s the only way I ship them. I’ve talked a few times on why I don’t want them to be a couple again (check my #anti niknate tag) so I’m not gonna repeat myself haha.
7. Who were the couple in the last fanfic you read?
It was moreso a family fic, but Red/Kitty and Jay/Leia were the pairings.
8. Currently, do you have any OTPs?
Too many to count: Jay/Leia, Gwen/Nikki, Eric/Donna, Jackie/Hyde, Eric/Jackie, Eric/Buddy, etc.
9. Is there any couple, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting together?
Bonnie/Damon & literally every Bonnie ship I have, but if they had been canon, I know for sure Plec would’ve fucked it up like she fucked up every good thing in tvd lmao.
10. Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they are kind of interesting?
Nikki/Nate, and Jackie/Kelso (not as much tho rn b/c I’m not fixated on them). Neither are endgame material imo tho in canon.
11. Do you have any ship that, in the past, was considered normal but now would be canceled over?
Maybe Zig/Maya?? Idk.
12. What was your favorite crack ship?
Gwen/Nikki and Toph/Azula always. I'm not even fixated on ATLA anymore, but the latter will forever be a fave.
13. Who is the couple you read more fanfics of?
Honestly I've been writing more fic than reading it 😭😭😭
But out of all the ships, I feel like I read Gwikki fic the most.
14. What do most of your ships usually have in common?
Enemies to lovers. It’s just my thing.
15. What do you absolutely hate in a ship?
OH MY GOD I HATE ships with Person A going after Person B without taking no for an answer. Person B's agency isn’t being taken into consideration and it’s like they’re a prize for Person A.
Granted there are ships with that trope I do like, but it’s moreso b/c of the other good stuff in the ship and it outweighs the bad.
Like Kl*roline, there’s literally nothing about that ship I can say that I like except for the fact that the actors are pretty and I liked the paper scene (and even then, Caroline was shamelessly giggling with Klaus while her boyfriend was watching. Her boyfriend who Klaus killed, forced to become a hybrid, and made him into his slave).
Tagging: @randomwriter23 @disneymbti @berryzxx @astraeasilvers @blairwaldcrf @theonewithallthefixations and anyone else who wants to join

What’s your opinion on the new episodes?
rusty, but that was by their own admission in the entertainment round table. the pacing felt weird and charas felt oc because they were trying to set up a bunch of stuff at the expense of real character moments. Abbott has had a bit of a pacing problem since S2 - see how the legendary school stuff felt like it was leading to something big, and then was resolved in a single episode that wasn't even the finale - and already struggles with giving the full ensemble something to do - Barb and Jacob in particular felt really overlooked this ep - so I'm not sure why they needed to add THREE new recurrings unless its to fill out scenes that are Janine away from Abbott later in the season, because already two of those new charas feel superfluous. they were just standing there echoing lol. I also feel like they were so busy setting up bowling pins that there weren't a lot of jokes which also made it feel more sluggish than normal, but I'm hopeful that returning back to 22min will mean the next episodes are sharper. at the roundtable the cast unanimosuly said the library episode in the middle of the season was one their favourite to film so that bodes well.
the Ava side plot would have been fine as a one episode gag but in this two parter felt like a bit of a waste of time because it disappeared halfway through - though the dancing was funny. not sure how much I like the dismissal of her getting back into education though, it cheapens the growth the had in the previous season.
like everyone else I'm extremely relieved they broke up Melissa and Gary because they simply never set that up for us to have any positive connection with him, half the mentions of him off screen were about him being dismissive of Melissa, so I'm glad they let her set a boundary and keep it, it was a nice tie in to her relationship with Joe and gave her a bit more depth. like I don't care if they pair her up with someone, I'm not one of those people who is anti her dating a guy over a woman, but it at least needs to be someone in her own fucking league and that the story actually makes us hear about what a good partner they are (or a shit partner as long as the plot ESTABLISHES they are shit instead of trying to make us like someone who has given us no reason to). even if it's just off screen mentions like Gerald with Barbara - give us a reason to be invested in the relationship if you're gonna attempt an engagement scene, guys.
the way they're handling Janine and Gregory still seems right, it's season 3 of a planned 7 season show and it would be way too early to establish them as a steady couple, thematically that's the payoff near the end of the series like every other sitcom. it made sense that they're still approaching each other like nervous deer after the way Franklin Institute went, they're both still tender about it because it's still unresolved and they were both very vulnerable. they're still figuring things out and like Sheryl repeatedly says, they both need some therapy lol. they're very clearly endgame but it still needs more time and work for the payoff to feel earned and the show isn't at that point in the story yet.
anyway that new guy is Hans Frozen from Shein

Update
I am officially staying off all social media, including A03 for an unknown period of time. I will continue to update my fic, but I will not be checking any notifications or replies. I initially was just doing this on insta, but now I've decided to log off everything. Once this fic has finished updating, I will be radiosilent outside of private circles I'm in.
The reason is because of the Hazbin Hotel leak situation along with just other things happening rn. Its for my mental health.
Reguarding the Hazbin situation:
I don't want to be spoiled and have S2 ruined for me. I've been looking forwad to it since S1 ended and I've been devasted with the news.
With previous leaks of other fandoms staying off social media for a few weeks wasn't a problem... But I can't avoid social media for nearly a year.
So with a heavy heart, I made the extremely tough decision to watch the entire season once the piece of shit russian hacker dumps it all online.
I feel extremely guilty doing this because of the crew, and I have never done this intentionally since I was a little kid back in the SU days. I would normally never do this because I can wait a few weeks, but I cannot wait a whole year. I will end up getting spoiled and having everything ruined for me. There's absolutely no fucking doubt that will happen. I feel like I have no choice. Its either have everything ruined for you or ruin it yourself. I'm the type of person who'd rather ruin it for myself then give someone else the joy of ruining it for me.
Despite watching early, I ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT be posting, sharing, making fanart, fanfics, fananimatics, or ANYTHING related to season 2 until the official release. I will consider myself under an NDA as if I fucking worked for the show. Any public fan content I make will be based on previous headcannons and theories I had before s2. Any future character designs, such as past Vox, past Alastor, Roo, Lilith, Eve, Alastor's mother, or whatever else comes about in season 2 will be fan designed with a pre-s2 mindset. I will only post actual S2 related fanart I made AFTER s2 releases. It will NEVER be shared publicly or even privately within friend circles or discord servers, because 1. I don't want to spoil it for them. 2. In my own server leaks are a bannable offense. 3. I don't want someone downloading it and spreading it.
ANYONE who comments or reblogs spoilers on my future Hazbin art will be insta-blocked. This goes for ALL social media. Youtube, Insta, Tumblr, and A03.
If you also choose to watch early, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SUPPORT THE OFFICIAL RELEASE. The best thing you can do right now is buy OFFICIAL merch. And when S2 does come out, FUCKING WATCH IT OFFICIALLY ON AMAZON. AND DO NOT PIRATE IT. Hell, fucking get a free trial of Amazon Prime then cancel it after you binge it if you have to. SUPPORT THE SHOW PLEASE. This leak WILL tank the ratings of the show so we need to do as much as possible to make up for it.
I will return to social media as soon as I am able to see all of S2.
I hope you understand my decision. I cannot describe how difficult and painful the decision was. The moment I upload this, I will log out.

Having Dia be a magic using specialist opens her up for a friendship with Helia that's really funny
It's unlikely that she'd actually manage to get away from Samara long enough to like.. actually manage to lean to be a specialist at all until most of the way though s3, after Sky and Diaspro are saved and their marriage is crashed but I always like the idea that Helia would eventually take over RF, and Diaspro wanting to pick up a sword would kinda be his first little foray into teaching
I always imagined Helia really enjoys being a specialist and the reason he was at art school before was because he'd essentially already learned everything about being a specialist from his parents and going to RF would be superfluous + he needed to learn how to manage and control his magic and RF couldn't manage that properly. Helia is deeply introverted and finds most muscle heads extremely annoying but I imagine he does really enjoy sharing what he's learned with others and finds being a specialist rewarding
So, s3. Helia is technically an auxiliary member of the winx (like Nabu, Lucy, and Mirta are) but he's never really around. Hes around more often than he was last year, which is pretty easy because he only showed up like 3 times, deeply attached to RF as that's where he grew up, and protective of his grandfather so he doesn't often stray unless the winx actively needs his help. If he's required he'll show but he doesn't like people and is worried about RF being attacked so he usually doesn't
Enter Diaspro. Dia who was literally raised to be a wife has no real education beyond what she needs to be a wife, her magic is stunted and underdeveloped due to her emotions being forcefully repressed, and who realized after like one mission that she absolutely wants to be a magic user that works directly with specialists after like one mission she tagged along with because she likes using her magic in combat situations to carefully subdue threats
S4 Dia starts training to be a specialist and because she's older than everyone else, way behind everyone else, and embroiled in a huge political conspiracy of the Erakylon crown conspiring with Valtor to maintain control, having her in normal classes would be a bit weird. So Helia is personally tutoring her. This is. Extremely awkward for both parties at first. Helia is an introvert and Diaspro is used to constantly maintaining the expectation of femininity, basically they don't know what to do with each other. I like to imagine that Helia's lack of fucks is extremely comforting for Diaspro because he doesn't care she has no expectations of performance she has to maintain, and Diaspro would be perfectly happy to just exist in companionable silence with Helia making him feel more comfortable. They'd just. Vibe together
Both Helia and Diaspro don't feel like proper auxiliary members of the winx because neither of them were around as often as anyone else and they both find each other comfortable because they understand having other priorities that kept them from being with the Winx as often as they'd like. I feel like Helia would regret stuff like not going on the camping trip in s2 which is why he's around more in s3, but he's still not really there all that often. Bonding over this and becoming a fairy witch group of just the two of them hanging out at red fountain, doing missions together in companionable silence or chatting shit about people they dont like, and eventually when Saladin steps down Helia becomes the new headmaster of RF and Diaspro becomes the vice principal and casually bullys Helia about how he makes her do all the social stuff
Most circles or covens are like??? High commitment, especially faries, but Diaspro wouldn't mind that Helia isn't often available and vice versa. Helia has RF to worry about and it's been years since Diaspro has seen her parents so she's busy catching up with them. It's like PEEK adhd friendship where there's no relationship degradation, they just always pick up where they left off which no fucks given that neither of them have seen each other in months

----------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------
(2nd POV)
Ever since you had joined empires, it's been quite a lot.
Having to rule an empire was a bit of a tough one, but you were able to do it either way. You happened to meet some new friends during your first few days of empires, one of them being none other than the Sheriff Jimmy solidarity himself.
He was really shy at first, always stuttering everytime you were around.
Soon, he grew to be more comfortable around you. You would visit each other a lot, Jimmy always seemed very blushy everytime you were around though. You thought of it as him just being surprised or shy, you didn't realize it was something else.
As time went by, you and Jimmy grew a more closer bond. You were the only one who actually respected him, he thought you respected him because you loved him, but really you mostly respected him because he was sheriff.
When he found out you didn't exactly respect him because you loved him and only because he was sheriff, he was sort of pissed and sad at the same time.
During the times you guys were together hanging out, Jimmy developed feelings for you. Sure you also developed minor feelings for him, but you only ever saw him as a friend. Nothing more.
Of course, Jimmy was gonna change that somehow. He just didn't know yet.
A few times, Jimmy has stalked you. Mostly when you're hanging out with the rulers like Princess Gem or Katherine, Jimmy was jealous everytime he saw you with someone else. He wanted you all to himself.
Ever since the hermits arrived from the Rift, you had been hanging out with a lot of them. You would hang out with the hermits during your free time when you finished your royal Duties, you completely forgot about hanging out with Jimmy.
Jimmy felt lonely and extremely jealous, he was so pissed at the hermits just randomly arriving and taking you away from him. His obsession grew for you, he was gonna have you to himself one way or another.
Jimmy planned for days and days, planning on how to finally have you. Of course, you were completely unaware of this. You did grow a bit concerned when you noticed Jimmy having dark eyebags under his eyes whenever you spotted him walking around, you grew a bit worried for him. You were planning to go and check up on him, but Scar had dragged you with him to hang out with him and Grian. You sort of then forgot about checking up on Jimmy for the rest of the day.
As you hanged out with Scar and Grian, Jimmy stalked you. His eyes filled with jealousy and obsession, his fists clenched when he saw how close Scar and Grian were getting to you. But he didn't do anything about it and instead just continued to stalk you!
Jimmy made a plan, a plan to kidnap you in your sleep. He wanted you all to himself, so why not kidnap you! He had to figure out how he would execute his plan though. He'd climb up into your bedroom window when you're sleeping, he'd make sure to be as quiet as he could to not wake you up, he'd then go through the bedroom window and gently carry you out of your bedroom and outside of your empire, he would then ride back empire with your sleeping form on his horse.
The plan was all set, Jimmy just needed to wait for the right day. After about two days, Jimmy waited for night time to arrive, he climbed up to your window and saw you were deep in sleep. He did exactly what he had planned the two days before as he brought your sleeping form out of your bedroom with only a slight struggle, he spent a good two minutes looking for the doors to the outside of your empires, he then found it and went outside still carrying you. He walked over to his horse and set you infront of him and began riding back home, to his surprise, you didn't wake up.
Once Jimmy reaches his empires, he gets down from his horse, he also carries you down off of his horse. He brings his horse back into the stables and went inside of his house/'empire', he walked toward a guest bedroom that happen to have no windows at all (its like it was made just for you!), he set you down on the bed and walked out, locking the door so that you wouldn't try to escape when you woke up.
By the time you woke up, it was slightly dark in the room, but not too dark. You looked around confused, you didn't recognize your surroundings. The door opening could be heard which made you turn your head towards it, it revealed none other than Jimmy holding a plate of food
"Oh! You're awake! Morning!" Jimmy said smiling innocently, you weren't having it though
"Jimmy, where am I? Why am I not in my bedroom? Where are we?" You asked confused and a bit bitterly at the same time
"Oh, well we're currently at our house!" Jimmy said cheerfully
"Our house?..." You looked at Jimmy weirdly
"Yes! You live here with me now!" Jimmy said acting as if it wasn't a bad thing, he walked over to the night stand next to the bed and set the plate of food down
"Y-you kidnapped me?!" You exclaimed, clearly not sounding happy by this at all
"Kidnap isn't what I would exactly call it, it's more of bringing you here to live with me! I knew you would immediately decline my love and stay away from me, so I had to this!" Jimmy says, still acting cheerfully
"You're insane!" You snapped, looking at Jimmy with a glare, Jimmy pouted making it look like he was hurt
"Oh, don't worry. You'll warm up to me eventually, you're going to be all mine without anyone interfering..." Jimmy said, his expression now changing into a slight insane and manic one, he then left without letting you say anything else, locking the door so that you wouldn't be able to get out.
You immediately stood up and tried opening the door, but it was no use, you didn't even have anything that may unlock the door. The room didn't exactly have windows which mad it worse, you then went back to your bed and began nibbling on the food Jimmy set on the nightstand.
Why did Jimmy have to do this to you? He loved you, but you didn't. Why did he have to kidnap you and isolate you in your room with no possible escape?...
You sat there thinking to yourself about why did this happen to you, you didn't want this at all, you wanted to be with your friends again. You began to felt lonely and extremely upset, you didn't exactly have a choice to leave...
Ever since that day, the other rulers had gotten a note to what they thought it was you saying that you had went on a journey and would probably not be back soon and they believed it surprisingly, little did they know that Jimmy was the one who sent the note.
You were stuck in Jimmy's house, not being able to contact your friends at all. You felt isolated and alone. Jimmy would sometimes force you to show affection to him, even forcing you to kiss him occasionally, He'd be nice most of the time though which barely made it any better.
After a while, you slowly got gaslighted into thinking that you did love Jimmy. Jimmy gaslighted you into thinking what he was doing was just to keep you safe, you ended up falling into his lies and manipulation unfortunately, making you warm up to Jimmy and show actual affection.
Deep down inside, Jimmy felt a bit bad for doing this to you. He hated the fact that he had to do this, but he had no choice, this was the only way he could get you to love him.
------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------
Well well well! You made it to the end! :D

I never said Steve would blame Nancy for not being into him or Robin for possibly having feelings. Steve is not the type of person who would force others to like him. He let her go so she could date Jonathan in s2. However, Jonathan and Steve weren't friends at all, so that's an entirely different situation. If Jonathan and him were bffs, he would have distanced himself from him as well.
I guess I project a lot on Steve because a friend of mine started to date my ex, and I felt super betrayed. We don't know how much Robin knows about Stancy, but they would have talked about it. The equivalent to this would be Steve dating Tammy Thompson or Vickie after learning how much Robin liked them. I don't see Robin being extremely thrilled about that either. I also don't think being hurt or angry at your bff if they were to date your ex is shitty behavior or unhealthy. Like I said, I ended that friendship with my friend because I felt hurt and betrayed. It's called setting boundaries. Now I don't think Steve would simply let go of Robin, but their relationship would change where he would distance himself from her, that would also not make him a bad friend, he is setting boundaries. Robin can do whatever but she would have to consider the possible consequences and if it's worth it to jeopardize her friendship with Steve. It's not so simple because the situation is super messy.
I do think Steve would come around later, but his dynamic with Robin would change, like he's not a doormat with zero feelings that you can just walk over. Like a tiny part of him would always feel betrayed by it, especially if he knows Robin knew about his feelings for Nancy. It's one thing to say, hey mate, she moved on. She has a new partner, and another thing to say move on I want to date your ex, and you better be happy about it. I agree Robin not persuing Nancy for the sake of Steve could lead to resentment of Steve, but at the same time Robin betraying Steve could lead to Steve resenting Robin, and tbh he has the right to voice those feelings just like Robin as the rights.
I also doubt Nancy would be super happy with Steve constantly being around. S4 was the first time they hung out again, they both actively avoided each other between seasons because they are not friends. I think she would have problems with her gf being extremely close with her ex. Especially because she was hurt so much by Steve. Again it's such a messy situation for all parties involved.
ok this is meaty so if i forget smth idk what to tell u lol
point 1, before anything else: considering steve acted all upset when nancy greeted Her Boyfriend Jonathan at the end of s4 because he'd started to feel old feelings is indicative that yes, he probably would feel that way in some capacity.
and, tbh, main point in all of this: there is a certain problem with projecting your own feelings onto characters in the show if it doesn't really fit the situation described. i know nothing about your own personal experience, it would be foolish of me to tell you what was the right or wrong way to handle your personal situation, but i'm thinking it is not a 1 to 1 comparison to the characters in the show, which is why it needs to be looked at differently.
nancy and steve's relationship ending wasn't a "one is at fault and the other isn't" situation, but im presenting this argument the best way i can:
if nancy had done steve incredibly wrong (which we can fight all day on: no she didn't) and their relationship didn't work out because nancy was abusive/toxic to him, then he would absolutely feel betrayed by robin pursuing a relationship with her! the problem? that's not at ALL what happened.
nancy and steve's relationship ended because 1) steve's incredible wrongs (see: nancy "the slut" wheeler" and leaving her drunk at a party) had stacked AND nancy, who needed to deal with her trauma, could not put it aside for steve, who wanted to repress his own trauma, by pretending everything was normal.
the biggest hurt that nancy caused steve was the "bullshit" scene, and canonically IN THE SHOW steve says she was right! that that needed to be said, which he learned after his development in s3.
steve messed up with nancy, and while i don't think he's a bad person for it, by any stretch of the imagination, it'd be really weird for him to hold it against robin for wanting to pursue something with nancy because of his own hurt feelings.
you're point on moving on: those two things really aren't that different, but one blatantly misinterprets the point i made about robin, and also about what confronting someone about something unhealthy means. if you talk to someone about their behavior and go "hey, this is uncool", it is never "suck it up and like what's happening" it's "this is the truth, please understand why your perception isn't healthy". it is never comfortable, but it's also not mean.
also: voicing hurt feelings is different than justifying them. if you say, "hey, this bothers me, even if it shouldn't", it is not a crime on you, or a bad thing to do, it's way healthier than ignoring those feelings. because at the end of the day, any resentment steve gains for robin from something like that, it isn't healthy, like no ifs, ands, or buts, in their situation it wouldn't be healthy.
and final point: nancy cares a lot about steve. just because they aren't the bestest of friends does NOT mean they don't care about each other. look at s4: nancy looked so relieved to see steve and the others pull up, because she knows she can rely on him, and steve wants to be there for her. i really don't think nancy feels romantically for steve, but she still cares about him, a lot, and what happened between them doesn't change that. robin and steve being besties does the opposite of bother her, by the way, like in canon.
i can't tell where you stand on nancy wheeler, but a lot of your points really don't feel like you understood stancy for what it was, and who nancy and steve are now.
