some of you tumblr folks have become so obsessed with denouncing “abusive relationships” in fiction that you focused too much on the “abusive” part and forgot about the “relationship” bit.

an abusive relationship is a relationship in which one of the halves uses the feelings and/or the dependency of the other half as leverage to hurt and manipulate them. the very relationship between them is weaponized against the victim, hence “i’m only hurting you out of love” or “do as i say or you don’t actually love me”.

a dynamic in which two characters openly hate each other and charge against each other on a battlefield with swords or guns because they’re on opposite sides of some conflict that’s larger than either of them cannot be considered an abusive relationship because it lacks the “relationship” part. there’s no intimacy here. and their antagonism is often not entirely personal and largely attributed to what those characters stand for in the universe of the story, rather than who they are as people. one of the greatest appeals about enemies to lovers is the irony of two people who would be perfect for each other if only the circumstances around them did not propel them to clash, and the subsequent shedding of all of their outer layers of upbringing and prejudices until they reach the revelation that deep down they’re actually not that different after all. if those characters were ever to put down their differences and get into a relationship, and still treat each other like crap while in a relationship, *then* you would be able to call them an abusive ship, but the way they’re trying to disembowel each other with swords in a duel says very little about what kind of dynamic they’d have as a couple because, at the moment, they’re not a couple (or even friends for that matter). they’re as far from a romantic couple as two people can get, and the very first step for them to become romantically involved would be getting over the very thing that’s causing them to try and disembowel each other with swords in first place. you can’t just fucking… disregard context and circumstances here and simply hold the way two characters treat each other as enemies against a hypothetical romance those characters might have upon future character developments.

this is why people don’t understand when fans of edgy enemies-to-lovers pairings express distaste for when characters in a “soft” friends-to-lovers ship commit mild faults like negging one another or doing shit behind each others’ back, when their own ships have literally tried to murder each other, but it’s actually very simple: enemities are not supposed to be functional and healthy, but friendships, like romances, are. the crap two people pull to one another as friends is a bigger red flag for a bad relationship than the crap people pull towards one another as sworn enemies. with enemies you can make a case that, in different circumstances, those people could have a healthy and functional relationship had they decided to put their differences aside and pursue a friendship/romance, but you can’t say the same for characters who are canonically friends and canonically treat each other poorly as friends.

Ow

THIS IS ITTTTTT

Clearly some folks don’t know what abuse is AND what relationship is, so here it’s all perfectly described. So maybe we can end this Purity police regime

I like to imagine them getting married on Naboo. This is the ending they both deserved. Both happy, together, and very much alive, on a beautiful planet with a beautiful future ahead of them.

Not Ben dying and the movie ending with Rey alone on another desert planet barely better off than when the trilogy started.
