[our-loveless-experiences]

i feel like that one scene of FP whenever im reading something emotional or just trying to stomp on the hearts of the reader (my angst <//3)

cause like ill read it at first and be really connected to the character and whatever distressing situation they're in, and their solution (or fault, cause what are they without it) is to think of how much love they have for the world around them

it's just. incredibly, incredibly disconnecting then.

and they go to the loving support groups they have that's the only possible thing they could fall back on, or there's a whole chapter of how alone and "not worthy of love" they feel

it's just isolating

or a "we are not the same" moment. and i feel like if i tried to explain to them that at least part of their logic is absolute bullshit, they'd just pity me or something

Yeah... "Oh their loved ones can fix them!" Buddy... Seriously? Mental health doesn't work like that.

If these people were more open minded, maybe they'd be writing loveless fiction instead of stories of our downfalls.. But alas it's so ingrained into a lot of their worldviews we wouldn't even want to try..

Character portrayed as distant and resistant to emotional vulnerability being called loveless, with that trait claimed as something to be "fixed" by "easing them into love" or "having them love once more by showing it is, in fact, safe!" Is so annoying.

Why is getting close to a persons heart always portrayed as progress and growth, like it's an inherently good thing? Hate when having grown relationships between characters be seen as growth. Hate when characters getting partners is used as a replacement for character growth, AUGHHH.

Wish the solutions to most angst scenarios where done by the character themselves, instead of a partner, or their "oh so loving companions! Which everyone must have for the sake of their emotional wellbeing! Humans are social creatures after all!" Because that's when they lose the point.

I'm having some yandere thoughts again. 🥺

I may or may not have talked about this concept before. And if I have then I am adding onto it. But yandere Soldier Boy with a darling that is his complete opposite. (Soldier Boy as a character is an absolute detriment to society. But picturing him as a yandere is a masterpiece. And pretty much aligns with his character.)

Soldier Boy is a yandere. Canon. Because I said so.

Anygays—his darling is more of a wallflower. A supe that is strictly has support powers. The ability to heal people through touch (and not necessarily solve mental issues but alleviate the most damaging effects). And with a supe darling is technically immortal. As long as they don't exhaust their powers that is. Their own cells regenerate much faster than a regular supe's — nearly instantaneous. Unlike Soldier Boy, strong nerve agents don't knock them out, it just temporarily paralyzes their abilities (leaving them vulnerable).

Which completely parallels Soldier Boy.

Maybe they were a 'secret' supe Vought was working on. They narrowly managed to escape Vought's facilities and ended up on the street. When Ben had that meltdown in Manhattan (?). The episode where he blew up the street block after just getting back to America. Well, his darling was there. The only one within the blast radius that survived. That power of his severely weakens the compound V in their system, but doesn't totally burn it out. So the compound V rebuilds itself in their system after his meltdown.

His darling is just standing there. Weak and confused. Yet his darling doesn't run off. They walk over and stare at him quietly. Their hand gently touches him and when he violently reacts they duck and jump back.

That's how he meets his darling. And he drags them along. He doesn't leave this random person. They may be a pussy, but they could be helpful. After all, they are a supe and they may know what happened to his team—so they can help track his old team down and kill them all.

So when Soldier Boy reluctantly joins forces with The Boys you are there. You're just sitting in the corner doing whatever. Being under the 'protection' of Soldier Boy is better than being hunted down by Vought relentlessly with little way to protect yourself. Right? All you can do is heal people. Heal yourself. But Soldier Boy can kill people. Has killed people. And you can take his abuse. You're built for it. Which DOES NOT help with Soldier Boy's abusive tendencies. This type of darling is literally the prime for being a victim of Yan Soldier Boy. They don't want to fight back and Soldier Boy can hurt them all he wants without killing them (well, almost. as long as he doesn't go to the most extreme extent).

OMG I was ready to say this concept was super stinkin’ cute and wholesome, since ya know- the ‘force of destruction meeting the force of healing’ trope, but then i got to the end and remember it’s soldier boy and he is NOT a good partner 😶‍🌫️ ((unless I’m remembering wrong. I just remember he dated one of his teammates and she didn’t exactly love him?? Idk someone correct me if I’m mistaken

BUT YEA IDC I loooove me a nuanced dynamic—one that’s fucked up, toxic, yet symbiotic in a way that ties them together in a destructive dependence. Yall can try to pry this kind of dynamic out of my cold dead hands becuz I will ALWAYS eat this up

I have nothing substantial to add because it’s already perfect (as always), and I know the soldier boy stans will agree with me !!

I am sorry OP but you disabled reblogs so because i like and agree with your post, i'm stealing it so I can hang it up on my blog

(in case you cannot read it because it is too small, the text on the post I stole says: "I do think teaching religion to your children should be classified as child abuse. even if your religion doesn't strictly have a hell every single one of them has fucked up gross weird things in there. if your kid wants to be religious they can go off and find it themselves when they're older." )

that duck and that bear though

Cucurucho tucked it's face into Pato's neck. They didn't need sleep, but they still did anyways. In a bed made for it, Pato had crawled in earlier, and now here they both were.

Cucurucho listened to Pato's mechanics, the near-silent whir of gears and technological marvels that were near-impossible to comprehend unless you worked at the Federation or you were made of it.

Pato was breathing. This was it's breath, and Cucurucho was intent on listening. It could put off "sleep" for a little while longer.
