#AND SO CHILL

Do you have any specific JayVik ramblings? I’m a sucker for Character x Character stuff

jayce is such a himbo alpha and I love him. Very protective of Viktor, even over the smallest of things. gets mad when he doesn't use his cane to walk, insists that he goes with him everywhere, and god help Viktor if he passes out in the lab again from working too hard. It's cute Viktor thinks Jayce will let him go so easy. After all these years, he thinks Jayce didn't set up precautions for his sweet omega? That there wouldn't be hex-security that only he could control? It's so adorable! But no, sweet Vik, you're going to stay with Jayce so he can take care of you, since it's clear that he can't take care of himself.

Whoever conceived and animated this moment, I hope they're doing well and thriving. This is S-rank romance stuff here.

I'm wondering if, as a society who cares about vulnerable people, we could stop saying "traumatize" when we truly mean "upset"?

I am sick of hearing sad books or movies "traumatize" their readers. I simply do not believe that happens. A traumatic experience might be adjacent to books (I have vivid memories of books I was reading around certain experiences and even how the contents of those books affected my processing of the experiences). But it's not caused by the book. And, y'know. The weather is Christofascist Censorship Attempts outside.

Meanwhile from the other side I continue to be surprised at just how badly people fail to understand trauma and traumatic experiences in general. Watering down the term isn't helping. Find other hyperbole to express that The Bridge to Terebithia gutted you, chewed on your heartstrings, and made you cry your first pair of contact lenses right out of your preteen eyes.

(ETA here although it's impossible to edit reblogs: over the months since this post really took off, there has been valuable discussion in the comments. I stand by the passion with which I wrote this post and with the general message, but not all the exact wording. I talk more about the way I'd re-write this post in a response here, replying to an addition that added a ton of useful context [other additions touched on similar themes, but that person had it all together in one reblog]. With that said, I am muting this post.)

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

No but Jax and Pomni becoming close friends makes so much sense BECAUSE Jax would rather eat glass than have Pomni be his therapist friend. Like when he's talking to her, he's talking to her like a peer vs letting her fix his problems. Because he would rather die than have anyone do that.

And Pomni...kinda needs someone who doesn't bullshit her but keeps her from getting too anxious. And Jax needs someone who will take all his bullshit and accept that about him instead of trying to fix him or make him better. Funnybunny shippers how are we feeling?
