peter and steph: “if I loved you, I’d let you know”
also peter and steph:
- “you’re crazy about me >:)” steph maybe turn down the bedroom eyes
- “i only go on dates with guys who ask me out, which you’ve never done, BY THE WAY >:(“
- “I’m done” with what????? I thought you WEREN’T crazy about Steph? Isn’t that what you said, Pete? Pete?
- “You had to go and seduce [me]” hmm so you HAVE been seduced? Is that right?
- “who’s the victim when you shoot me looks?” okay so who’s obsessed with who again?
- “if I loved you like you should be loved” this is the most romantic thing anyone has said in the entire hatchetfield canon
- “babe” (which Steph calls Peter outside of the refrain btw. “you bet they can, oh babe, you bet they can”)
- “I need a lover Man” steph who was that for. if it was fanservice that’s fine
- “I mean we’re graduating anyway” so we ARE trying to make this work. Is that what you’re saying Pete
- “I’m a sapiosexual, you’re intellectual” say that again Steph. What was that. I thought you’d “never go for a geek who’d spend the prom in a stall”
- “I cut my lover losses when I can” isn’t the point of this song for you to convince him that he WASNT ever a possible lover. are you saying he could be, steph. Look me in the eyes, stephanie.
- *oh fuck oh shit we’re standing too close fuck can’t let you know I want to kiss you* THREE SEPARATE TIMES
- *both believe the other is using them*
- *dramatic circling each other, turning away before IMMEDIATELY turning back to face each other*
- steph very dramatically playing with her hair while avoiding eye contact looking VERY conflicted. keep talking girlie.
- *tries to let the other leave beanies first* this is chivalry guys. guys.
- tbh just the fact that the whole dialogue leading up is Steph accusing Peter of being in love with her while he proceeds to point out how she’s initiated literally every major interaction they’ve had. like go on girl keep digging yourself into this hole.

If you've ever told a person who's had to be bedbound for a period of time that you wish you could "just stay in bed", DO IT.
Stay in bed. For days. But don't get up if someone needs you to, or you get bored, or you get antsy. Don't do anything other than rest. Just lie in your bed, whether you need to get stuff done around the house or socialize or anything else "productive". You'll have to cancel on people, you'll disappoint them, they won't understand.
And if you're thinking, "well, i CAN'T just be in bed. There's stuff that has to be done - I have plans", maybe ask yourself why you assumed a disabled person doesn't have plans or things to do or desires.

the thing is that they're so fascinated by sex, they love sex, they can't imagine a world without sex - they need sex to sell things, they need sex to be part of their personality, they need sex to prove their power - but they hate sex. they are disgusted by it.
sex is the only thing that holds their attention, and it is also the thing that can never be discussed directly.
you can't tell a child the normal names for parts of their body, that's sexual in nature, because the body isn't a body, it's a vessel of sex. it doesn't matter that it's been proven in studies (over and over) that kids need to know the names of their genitals; that they internalize sexual shame at a very young age and know it's 'dirty' to have a body; that it overwhelmingly protects children for them to have the correct words to communicate with. what matters is that they're sexual organs. what matters is that it freaks them out to think about kids having body parts - which only exist in the context of sex.
it's gross to talk about a period or how to check for cancer in a testicle or breast. that is nasty, illicit. there will be no pain meds for harsh medical procedures, just because they feature a cervix.
but they will put out an ad of you scantily-clad. you will sell their cars for them, because you have abs, a body. you will drip sex. you will ooze it, like a goo. like you were put on this planet to secrete wealth into their open palms.
they will hit you with that same palm. it will be disgusting that you like leather or leashes, but they will put their movie characters in leather and latex. it will be wrong of you to want sexual freedom, but they will mark their success in the number of people they bed.
they will crow that it's inappropriate for children so there will be no lessons on how to properly apply a condom, even to teens. it's teaching them the wrong things. no lessons on the diversity of sexual organ growth, none on how to obtain consent properly, none on how to recognize when you feel unsafe in your body. if you are a teenager, you have probably already been sexualized at some point in your life. you will have seen someone also-your-age who is splashed across a tv screen or a magazine or married to someone three times your age. you will watch people pull their hair into pigtails so they look like you. so that they can be sexy because of youth. one of the most common pornography searches involves newly-18 young women. girls. the words "barely legal," a hiss of glass sand over your skin.
barely legal. there are bills in place that will not allow people to feel safe in their own bodies. there are people working so hard to punish any person for having sex in a way that isn't god-fearing and submissive. heteronormative. the sex has to be at their feet, on your knees, your eyes wet. when was the first time you saw another person crying in pornography and thought - okay but for real. she looks super unhappy. later, when you are unhappy, you will close your eyes and ignore the feeling and act the role you have been taught to keep playing. they will punish the sex workers, remove the places they can practice their trade safely. they will then make casual jokes about how they sexually harass their nanny.
and they love sex but they hate that you're having sex. you need to have their ornamental, perfunctory, dispassionate sex. so you can't kiss your girlfriend in the bible belt because it is gross to have sex with someone of the same gender. so you can't get your tubes tied in new england because you might change your mind. so you can't admit you were sexually assaulted because real men don't get hurt, you should be grateful. you cannot handle your own body, you cannot handle the risks involved, let other people decide that for you. you aren't ready yet.
but they need you to have sex because you need to have kids. at 15, you are old enough to parent. you are not old enough to hear the word fuck too many times on television.
they are horrified by sex and they never stop talking about it, thinking about it, making everything unnecessarily preverted. the saying - a thief thinks everyone steals. they stand up at their podiums and they look out at the crowd and they sign a bill into place that makes sexwork even more unsafe and they stand up and smile and sign a bill that makes gender-affirming care illegal and they get up and they shrug their shoulders and write don't say gay and they get up, and they make the world about sex, but this horrible, plastic vision of it that they have. this wretched, emotionless thing that holds so much weight it's staggering. they put their whole spine behind it and they push and they say it's normal!
this horrible world they live in. disgusted and also obsessed.
