life is this–i like this

Emily. 29. Australia. Mumma. Wife. Occasionally NSFW. Currently in love with who knows how many fictional characters, but what can you do? Feel free to message me, I don't bite. Unless you ask me to, that is.

The fact that now Chapel is canonically bad at making plomeek soup makes TOS even funnier. Like he's not just throwing that soup against the wall because he's close to Pon Farr and is unable to control his aggression, it's that AND the soup SUCKS

As someone who's been married for almost a decade, I'll never understand the hatred that Violet receives in IF. I've seen her called immature, a toddler, someone who doesn't know what love is. Violet (and Xaden) spent all of IF putting in the necessary work to make their relationship successful. An "I love you" a day will not keep a relationship afloat. There has to be trust, and Violet's trust in Xaden was broken after FW. I understand why Xaden withheld the information of the revolution from her. She understands why. But it doesn't change the fact that her trust in him was broken, and Violet needs trust. She needs information to make a relationship work. Everyone has vital things that they require in a relationship, which is specific to the two people within that relationship. Violet needs the full truth, and she was very up-front with Xaden on that. She didn't force him into a relationship and then forced him to accommodate her standards. She was willing to let him go if he wasn't able to give her what she needed. Xaden chose to accommodate her needs because he found her more precious than his need to keep secrets. That was his choice. A woman should never be villianized for setting standards for her person.

And to say that Violet only loves conditionally or that she doesn't know what love is? If that were the case, then Violet would have broken up with Xaden as soon as he turned venin. She stayed with him and spent all of OS searching for a cure because she loved him unconditionally. Riorgail only survived OS because of the effort they put into their relationship in IF. And it was Violet who pushed them to put in that effort early on.

Saying that Violet should just accept Xaden's "I love you" without any questions is not the way to form a relationship that will last decades. Violet's in it for the long-term, not the short-term.

I'll never understand how a fandom full of women can criticize a woman for setting standards while simultaneously holding the man to no standards whatsoever.

not to mention how helpful it is they now include less of the product in the package than before

Xaden: “I’m not sweet or soft or kind”

Also Xaden: picks Violet flowers so she doesn’t wake up feeling alone, holds her hand at any given opportunity, ties her shoelaces for her, checks in on her whenever he sees her looking sad or in pain, spends hours making a saddle so she can fly comfortably, and writes her letters so she can get to know him

actually WHO did that man think he was kidding???

why be radically exclusionary abt queerness when you could be radically inclusionary instead. let's inflate the numbers. let's become the majority. the sky's the limit

[toastyglow]

"we can't let just ANYONE call themselves queer!!" what are you talking about. I'm steepling my fingers and gleefully cackling every time we Get Another One and you should be too. lock in.

Hawk leaving all of his things at the hospital when Skippy was sick because he stayed there with him full time. The same Hawk who after Lucy had Jackson, went home to shower and was not present like that for her. If he wanted to he would, but he never had that love for Lucy even when she gave him a child, so he never did.
