I've been reading Exodus lately and I've just gotten to the portions where God gives the first commands to the people via Moses (twice), and then goes on to give detailed instructions about the tabernacle and how it should be built, and I'm just... we think art is unimportant?? we think things only mean as much as their functionality?? we so easily fall into the trap of believing that beauty means nothing, that it's cheap and only worth whatever mindless distraction it brings, that it's barely more than a cheap sensual thrill, that buildings should just be practical and plain and cheap, that everything should be functional but ultimately disposable, that paintings and dresses and mugs and curtains and carpets are just pretty but have no real value, that beauty is fleeting and vain and therefore shouldn't be thought about too much, if even looked for at all... we fall into these traps so easily, and we forget that there are chapters upon chapters of painstakingly detailed plans to build one portable worship tent, and those plans have been handed down through thousands of years of human history, because beauty and art and skill in craft is important

someone might have already said this, I’ve been a little mia, buuut now that I have thought about it more, the couch scene actually makes so much sense?

the thing is, we’ve only been considering the couch metaphor from a meta standpoint - and don’t get me wrong, that is def an important aspect and they have been using it as such, for examply by showing us that the answer to the couch question is eddie’s couch (thank you 6x12 couch scene my most beloved <3) - but in that we are kinda forgetting that in contrast to the other metaphors (most notably heart and water metaphors <3) the couch metaphor first and foremost isn’t a meta metaphor, it is buck’s metaphor and thereby the only metaphor that the characters are actively aware of and so while the meta aspects of it definitely are at play (and in my opinion do hold up, because of course he has grown, but not yet enough and so this time the couch choice is half his own, while half still put on someone else again, and he still doesn’t see the one right in front of him) more importantly buck is actively trying to use the couch metaphor and is actively trying to put it into play by being proactive, but it also means that the couch metaphor is not infallible, because buck is not infallible

from buck’s perspective, natalia is a good candidate and he didn’t compromise on his own boundaries for her and she still came back and stood beside him through the emotional mess that was kameron having the baby even tho that was what originally made her run - of course he would want the couch metaphor to work for the two of them (people have said it before, but it bears repeating: buck is not omniscient, he does not see the narrative signs for why he and natalia are doomed!) and of course that would make him actively put the couch metaphor into play, it’s almost like a test, like him asking can we actually ‘pick a couch’ together that works for both of us synonymous with him asking if they actually fit (which is a big step up, because it IS him making that choice and him recognizing that ‘picking a couch’ kinda needs to be a both partners kinda thing and a compromise, not him accepting couches that are hoisted on him) - and only s7 will tell us and more importantly buck the answer to that, even tho we as the audience know that the couch buck is at ease on is already out there and waiting for him to see it <3

That's it, next time I make a character for a story, I'm gonna slap them with some kind of chronic pain condition.

If I have to live in the same body with my left foot, I might as well use it as research and make it useful!

Ow.

Beast jy has grown on me smh Honey I jest

After doing a brief research on lions and mating/courtship sighs (we're ignoring the piss part bc please I just it's not for me) I could see jy showing off his roar but he's very very subtle about it (tbh rookie Knights probably wanna hear it in person and it's very very rare he does it, mfer is loud like a good chunk of Luofu will hear it if he doesn't hold back bc our babygirl has an impressive set of lungs).

He'll make sure you're around when he does it, if you praise him he's very pleased so please praise him. If there are other lion hybrids that are also hybrids they're gonna piece it together a bit faster than others that this roar isn't one for the battlefield but to attract a partner. Listen they're happy for him, if anyone in Luofu deserves a partner it's him.

If you're on your monthly cycle he's refusing to leave your side unless Luofu is in danger, it's not even about sex (but like if you're dtf he'll he'll happily oblige), his dumb dummy lion hybrid brain smells those hormones and says he needs to be close to you.

You get the honor of helping him with his hair/mane, you have no clue that this is a pretty big deal given how much lion hybrids pride their manes.

Given that lionesses are more in charge than lions, I'm not saying that he likes it when you take charge but listEN it really gets him going even if he's in a dominant mood.

This was supposed to be horny but my neuro divergent ass started getting passionate about habits and stuff

I also like the idea of Lion!JY who has a weakness for home cooking. You making him a meal scratches a part of his brain just right and satisfies him immensely.
