frankly i am childish enough to vaguepost about someone on an entirely different platform. what do you mean moireyes is just “reaper is in love with his mean lesbian friend that scammed me and turned me into exhaust fumes” no. so tell me you haven’t paid any fucking attention to their lore without telling me because dear god you deserve a medal for this
first of all i can agree moira is into women more than she is into men. like i truly believe the one man she’d feel anything for is reaper. second of all she didn’t Scam him, she did fix him. now granted she didn’t fix him in a very ideal way but she did what she absolutely could and she is the only damn reason he’s alive now. yes, he’s hurting. no, she cannot do anything about it. but she TRIED. and he was probably great for her progress in science.
he needs her desperately because not only does she know him, inside and out, but he needs her approval and her attention. she’s a damn genius, she is not some average woman he met. i truly think to some extent he does fear her because she Knows Him Better Than He Knows Himself. forgive me for my self indulgent bullshit but i wouldn’t be shocked if reaper canonically had an identity disorder, and i think moira’s ability to observe him by herself is one of the only things keeping him stable. he is not some psycho overbearing man who would tear her apart for what she did to him, he’s smart, and calculated, and he knows that she did what she could!!! he’s well aware of what she is capable of and how that helps him, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE MOIRA DOES NOT HAVE AN OBSTACLE KNOWN AS GABRIEL REYES IN HER WAY ANYMORE!!!!
when they were in blackwatch, he was her commander. she had to listen to him. he was another obstacle. he was in the way of her, and progress. now here he is before her, as her own little lab rat. it’s beautiful in a terrifying way.
it’s similar to how moira keeps widow emotionless with her own scientific abilities and manipulation. but he doesn’t need to be manipulated to be OBEDIENT!!! he wants that power and he wants to cause pain, he’s a terrorist for crying out loud.
but yeah whatever man they’re totally just “i’m in love with my mean lesbian friend who didn’t do shit for me.” ughhh it bugs me so bad because they’re not even necessarily in love, and i think to an extent moira loves reaper more than gabriel. sometimes they’re soft with each other but majority of the time they’ve very begrudgingly in love with one another. it’s an obsession, an attachment, a mutual one at that. they are this world’s poison and i cannot love them more than i already do for that.
