genuinely don’t get why people are acting like the rwrb movie cant be a little cringe

like it’s a romcom??? that’s what they do??

queer romance doesn’t always have to be serious and artful and sad

just let them be happy and in love and cutie and YES, CRINGEY

Audrey and Bendy/Ink Demon are getting along well.

(Technically, Bendy is Henry's son but I still want to make Audrey and Bendy friend-ish half-siblings)

I genuinely hate the take that Henry is not worth Ted leaving London for. People arguing that Ted should stay because there are more people in London who care about him?? Ok but his SON is in America. And he wants to be part of his son’s life growing up. 

Or saying that Ted doesn’t have friends in America and Michelle’s not worth going back for - Ted makes friends everywhere, he’s going to be okay. And the point isn’t Michelle. It’s HENRY.

Ted can’t abandon his son the way his father did to him - because the situations are different, but the way Henry would have ended up feeling probably would have been the same. For whatever personal motivation of his father, he wasn’t worth sticking around for.

In so many ways, Ted came in and broke cycles and that’s the point. He broke the cycles of bullying at Richmond, of people hurting others because they’re hurt, of revenge and anger instead of forgiveness. 

And the one last cycle he had to break was him making his son feel the way that his father made him feel. This story has been three seasons in the making. Ted’s story with his father and how it affected his relationship with his son has always been at the heart of his character - it’s motivated and haunted him at every step.

It always had to end with Ted making this decision.

i think the reason i’ll always be so attached to henry blake is because i’ll always be a little insane over the position he was written into . like it’s different with potter . potter obviously had a softer , more human side , but when you think potter you think military man first . and to an extent it’s supposed to be like that . they introduce him like that , despite the fact that at the end of the first episode he’s in it shows him drinking with hawkeye and bj to say “ hey , he’s not completely like the other army crazy officers that have been in the show “ . but at the same time , there’s a constant reminder , in his mannerisms , in the way he’s addressed , in the way he just knows the army … he’s a military man first .

and , god , we all know it was never like that with henry , but i don’t think we ever realize the extent to which it was never really like that . from the get - go , he’s seen being more lax with the members of the 4077th . his first scene is him opening a bottle of champagne with a nurse . the way hawkeye talks about him in his letter to his dad … he refers to him as henry , cracks a few jokes about him , immediately the impression the audience gets is that this is the opposite of a military man . you’re supposed to be surprised that he’s in charge .

and maybe that’s why i find him so tragic , because he’s everything and he’s nothing . we have the expectation for him to be a colonel , but while he has the title , he’s just … not . and at the same time , he’s expected to be a friend . hawkeye and trapper always take for granted that henry is their friend , i mean , hell , they even get annoyed with him when he puts his foot down over something they do ( because he’s supposed to , he’s a colonel after all , remember ? ) . he’s expected to be a friend , but at the same time … he can’t .

and it’s even WORSE when you think about his role as a doctor because he’s supposed to be a caretaker and a commander … he’s supposed to save lives but at the same time he has to decide if they’re worth saving more often than hawk and trap do … and in episodes like aid station or the rainbow bridge he had to decide who’s life he had to put on the line even though he’s just not cut out for that . he has to care but at the same time he can’t care too much because he has to keep his composure … he can’t care in the same way that trapper and hawkeye do , even if it’s obvious that he does . he can’t , the military won’t let him . because he can’t just be a doctor , he has to a commander as well . 

not even to mention his relationship with radar . like , henry was so obviously a father figure to him , he obviously loved him , yet over and over again he keeps his distance from him ( and while i think this partially is a result of the fact i just think henry has a hard time voicing how much he cares about people … if i loved you less maybe i could talk about it more , etc etc … , that’s a whole different conversation ) , and i definitely think that is because of his position too . he can’t be a family member . he has to be a leader , he has to follow the guidelines that the military has set for him . he has to treat radar the same way he treats everyone else under his command .

it’s so absurd and maybe that just adds to the comedy of it but it’s also like … he truly was just never supposed to be there . they tried to make him tougher and to an extent they tried to make him a fighter and there’s a reason it just never worked , because henry was always supposed to be a lover . making him colonel blake was like putting a round peg in a square hole and i’m pretty sure it killed him way before that plane ever crashed into the ocean . it’s just not fucking fair .

Sometimes life gets so bad you have to regress back to being like 13 and make a whole FNAF au with a self insert character to cope. I will accept NO judgement on the matter !!!!!

Henry Oak saying “I’m a polyamorous white guy, of course I know Dungeons and Dragons” proves yet again that Will Campos is the funniest person on this fucking podcast
