I really don’t understand why they inserted the “do you understand true beauty?” subplot into this like it was Ruby’s major character flaw. Ruby is pragmatic and protective, and if anything his “acting over others” is his main problem that probably should’ve been the main narrative focus of the arc.
There is only one time when Ruby outright calls Feefee ugly / unworthy and that was during a period of intense stress. When he’s not on the verge of a panic attack, he doesn’t always laud Feefee as his most beautiful pokemon, but he does treat her with the same care and respect as any other team member. He says he can make her into something beautiful, that he can and will use her to dazzle audiences and that she has potential like any other pokemon (see the Wishcash photo above). Obviously this is a pretty unhealthy way to think about it but I digress.
Ruby never really has an issue with beauty. He is absolutely vain and superficial, but not to the point where it’s an overwhelming character flaw. Mumu and Feefee are ugly pokemon, that’s acknowledged, and Ruby does point this out, but this doesn’t make him some kind of monster, it just makes him pragmatic (plus he’s as loving and protective over them as any other team member). This post is getting long so I guess my point is: the “do you understand true beauty” plotline is :/ imo because it’s only working on the superficial cause of the issue: Ruby acts out negatively towards Feefee when under stress. He lashes out at numerous people (Wallace, Sapphire, Norman, etc) when threatened or in a stressful situation but is otherwise caring towards them: that doesn’t reflect a misunderstanding of the “meaning of beauty”, only that Ruby doesn’t have the emotional stability to be collected under stress and isn’t perceptive of others’ feelings. THAT is a trauma related character flaw, and both his treatment of Feefee, Sapphire, and even himself in times of crisis are tied back to that. I know that the “true beauty” thing is easier to fix narratively, but I wish that they really dug out the root of his bad behavior instead

I’m getting very emotional over Ruby’s acceptance of Feefee! Ruby is calling Feefee beautiful.
suns out buns out !
This is the best girl Faith, who we also call Feefee. She had a mass in a mammary gland that burst and needs surgery. The summer is a lean time for us and we're scraping together what we can but we just don't have enough. Any help is good help and a reblog is help. https://www.youcaring.com/joannamillerforfeefee-899043?utm_campaign=buttonshare&utm_medium=url&utm_source=copy&utm_content=cf_cp_01
He hurt Feefee’s feelings which is obviously uncalled for but in his effort to get her back he just… opens up the possibility of letting all his other pokemon get crushed by rocks. My man’s tunnel vision would be downright impressive if it weren’t so dangerous
