#batsarebetterthanpeople villain origin story

[batsarebetterthanpeople]

Sadly I think Stede might be here to stay? Sorry.

Yeah I know. Do I need to tell my villain origin story about Stede again to remind everyone why I'm Like This?

So in late 2020 I met this guy on grindr, he was blond, goofy, exactly my type (emo and skinny and self destructive)(I have sex with all types of men but this is the only type of guy I've ever fallen in love with, I'm doing great thanks for asking)

We went out on a couple dates and I fell in love with him far too fast. He lived out of town so he would always come to visit me but he had a better job than I did making gas money less of a concern and I hate driving so I didn't see that as a red flag. You already know where this is going. We made it official

Motherfucker ghosted me on the day after fucking Christmas. I had a pair of earplugs (like for gauges) I had gotten him. I waited all fucking day for him to show up because I had blocked this out. He never came he wasn't answering his phone.

Cut to twoish months later and I get a text from him. I call him, we have a long phone convo but the TL;DR? Wife and 2 kids. This whole time. And I need you guys to know I was fully ready to marry this man when he ghosted.

Anyway exactly a month after that phone call I watched a television show on HBO Max called Our Flag Means Death and I was an Ed kinnie from Episode 4 on I was like "this is the new hes just like me for real character he's my fav hey his ex even kinda looks like the guy i have sex with in exchange for drugs haha thats awesome" however it did not even occur to me to project my 130lb soaking wet, formerly meth addicted, emo, cheating ass most recent boyfriend onto Stede, because why the fuck would it, until Ed sat on that dock and waited for him all fucking night and he never showed up and then it hit me like a truck and in those minutes I went from thinking Stede was a funny little protag to mentally running him through a wood chipper and I will continue to do so until he wins me back (which to be clear Stede winning me back has always been part of the escapism of this show for me.)
