Spoilers from Gracies new stream for The Flight //

Seeing as TF!Gracie had heard everything TF!Zam has said it seems it proves that the ones with poison rot can hear you. I wonder what TF!Avid and TF!Marm feels about what TF!Water has said while they were in that coma state? At least when they wake up eventually.

[ulldraken]

Tf!water and tf!avid are such interesting contrasts to tf!marm. Tf!marm's whole thing is the idea that kindness is a choice. Not something that necessarily comes automatically or is easy. But a choice that everyone could make and should want to make. The world is not inherently good or evil but it has the potential to be good. We just have to choose to fight for it.

tf!avid, based on the stream where they destroyed the mask and other people's character analyses I've seen, seems to be naturally incredibly forgiving. They use their diary to remind themselves why they shouldn't forgive people. He chooses not to be kind by forgiving others. Because the things they've done are too terrible to forgive. Because someone who has all the power and the will to harm others is too dangerous to forgive.

One of the things I love most about tf!water is that no matter how many thorny walls they throw up around themself to keep others away, his kindness keeps leaking through. If you take a sad and hurt character and dangle them in front of tf!water, he will eventually give in and start trying to help them, no matter how hard he tries to resist. They will feed them, protect them, be emotionally supportive, etc. He is incredibly kind and caring, but he chooses to be cold and cruel to keep himself from being abandoned or attacked by others.

It's not that tf!avid and tf!water are not choosing to be kind, they are choosing not to be kind. Because the world has shown them over and over again that being kind is dangerous. Because others will choose not to be kind.

tf!marm also is not some perfect saint of goodness. Nor is she completely naive to the dangers of the world. She doesn't choose to be kind just because she is kind, but because she's desperate. She needs the world to have the potential to be good because what else is ther. If the world is horrible and there's no reason have hope and keep trying, what's the point? She chooses to have hope and be kind because she is desperate for hope and kindness. Sometimes she's even so desperate that it makes her not only naive but unkind and unempathetic. Like when she projects her own need for the parents who abandoned her to not be terrible people, on tf!avid. Completely ignoring the horrible things he told her they did.

Combined, I think the overarching theme here is that the world and people are too complex to always treat everything and everyone the same. Sometimes hurt people hurt people. Sometimes forgiving and/or pushing someone to be better can make them better. Sometimes people just hurt people, and not fighting them would be unkind to those they hurt. Sometimes assuming good intentions from everyone can lead to them taking advantage of and hurting you. Sometimes no one wanted to hurt anyone and it was all just a misunderstanding. Kindness is a choice and it's not an easy choice. Not just because it takes hard work to be kind. Often, kind acts can even be the easiest and most natural to perform. But because it can often be difficult to know how to be most kind to everyone, including yourself, at the same time.

“Oh- oh yeah I can do that. What’s with the sudden change?”

Its not the first time a regular has changed their order but I didn’t think Avid cared much for having a change.

“I...just figured it would give me a reason to talk to you more...if that’s okay?” He smiled softly.

Why would they want to speak to me?

So I'm not an active tf!Water pov watcher, but I'm watching the vod for today's stream since it's only around an hour and a half long. And I think the bloodrain fans on tumblr who didn't watch it (and also tumblr people in general who didn't see it) deserve to know about this interaction.

tf!Sausage: *Trying to convince tf!Water to sit down since there's an empty seat*

tf! Avid, in front of literally everyone present in the Lupi party: There's also my lap.

[loveliest-canary]

genuinely js a mini bloodrain appreciation rant i mightt be wrong abt this tho i am not confident

dude i love bloodrain sm, its the concept of two heavily guarded people who are afraid to let people inside are willing to be vulnerable to eachother even after what they went through(ex. the hurtful words said by water and the unfortunate attempted drowning situation).

with how similar they are to eachother, maybe they subconsciously understand eachother more than anyone and its so RAW and fascinating for me like how both of them kept pushing people out bcs theyre afraid that theyll end up getting hurt but ending up attracting more people than they intend to and getting reluctantly attached when they initially didnt want to.

I LOVE THIS DUO/SHIP WHATEVER THEY ARE SM

“Its Gracie, she always chooses kindness right? Even when glass hurts her.”

  “I am more like a knife. But I guess in your case as you said you are glass. But even glasses need self care right?”

  Avid really does remember my glass metaphor. Well if he is going to play that game.

   “I don’t think so, but I will you let you off with it Marshmallow.” I teased him a little.

Hi, i literally yelled when this happened, i was not expecting expecting it in the least

CANNON BLOODRAIN KISS?!?!?!?!?!

[stormisamoth]

Unlocked a new ship only for it to immediately blow up. So have a little sketch of tf!bloodrain date I started working on before they started speedrunning the divorce.

I think they’d have the world’s most awkward coffee date and I hope we get to see that one day.
