Aerions the big spoon because he’s “a prince and a dragon, not a lowly hedge knight”. Dunk lets him because he finds it adorable and sweet. He’s not so much a big spoon as he is a snarly little cat

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

The cost of loving someone includes the possibility of suffering the greatest sorrows. The cost of loving someone is to allow the horrors of the world in, it’s like a vampire standing at the door, whispering– won’t you let me in? You risk your flesh and your blood for the chance to be kissed. The cost of loving is to smell the faint blood and still opening the door.

we all know the "robby gets into a motorcycle accident and wakes up with amnesia thinking dennis is his boyfriend/husband" trope (which i love and am guilty of perpetuating) BUT i do think a more realistic version would be him assuming jack is his husband

and both are extremely valid but i crave the latter at this current moment
