[theres-whump-in-that-nebula]

Whumpers, what are your earliest memories?

Mine is from when I was about two or three. I was in a stroller, at my cousin’s Irish dancing recital. After the recital, my aunts were talking down to me in the stroller, and to each other. I was experiencing extreme anxiety because I couldn’t understand what they were saying, when I felt I should have been able to communicate with them like they were communicating with each other. I was also very tired and dazed. I did not cry though… I probably looked normal on the outside.

I also remember when I was about four or five, I went to the beach with my dad and one of his friends. I somehow found my way onto the dock, planted my little rear end on a jet ski, untethered it from the dock, and started floating into the sunset. There was an old lady lounging in a donut inflatable out some way; she said something to me, but I couldn’t understand what she said, despite trying really hard. I’m assuming it was something along the lines of “Oh my god get off that jet ski you’re going to fucking DIE, kid,” but again… couldn’t understand a word of what she said, and got frustrated because she was speaking English (without an accent) and I should know how to understand adults speaking English to me.

At this point, my dad is yelling at me from across the water, and a young lifeguard drags the jet ski back. On land, my dad lectured at me very harshly as he led me back to the car. I didn’t know I had done anything wrong, and was very confused. At some point this guy starts quoting the Bible at me, and the only thing I could pick out were the words (spoken very emphatically), “Your days are numbered.”

“My days are numbered?” cue a vivid mental image of a calendar, with dates listed for every day of the week, “What does that mean?” Later on I figured out this was the Bible’s way of referencing death at God’s hand which just made me even more confused as to what I did, until at age thirteen, I figured out, “Oh a baby who can’t swim floating on a jet ski is terrifying, actually.”

this is a generalization but for the most part I think what is vital for understanding the romance genre and romance tropes is that it’s a fantasy genre. it’s romantic fantasy. (set aside specific subgenres/subversions etc for a moment). and it’s fantasy that needs to be contextualized by societal ideas about romantic relationships, whether the fantasy is about reinforcing them or subverting them. I personally think that because of genre/subject is a fantasy in context of a society that is oppressive/hostile to the core audience (speaking generally, women), the fantasies naturally center power in most narratives. You can say the same about a lot of other genre fiction, but I do think the romance genre is distinct in terms of having a core audience of women and being dominated by women. (I’m also speaking specifically about novels—I don’t have evidence to back this but, but I do get the impression that a lot of romantic movies have a more even split of male directors/writers…?) but anyway, I think it’s a really interesting mirror… even the really shitty ones can be read from the perspective of ‘what cultural relational shorthands are they using to convey a romantic fantasy and how are they failing’ lol

[solitaireships]

Kinda a lot that I just got cut off by someone I was on friendly terms with for reasons clearly bigger than selfshipping but all they would say to me was they didn’t like that I selfship, so I have to blame losing that relationship on something I do to cope with loneliness

[dilf-phoenix-rights]

People really bend over backwards to minimize how important Iris was to Phoenix, or try to make her mistakes seem infinitely worse than Edgeworth’s and it’s just like. The biphobia and sexism is showing.

Girl are you telling me, all this time, I should’ve been writing something else????

[neixins]

the sword and shield part of the prophecy is soooo vague that i’ll rotate every possible theory inside my silly little head and then go “or it could be smth else”. absolute net zero conclusions reached but i had fun.

[sickgraymeat]

Thinking about how episodes like Sky Witch/Varmints/Broke His Crown and even Red Starved show us this really solid, familiar, well-rehearsed team dynamic that pb & marcy have when they work together and how that always involves a level of teasing and bickering but also so much care and affection and just a deep fundamental understanding of each other’s needs beneath that.

And how both the flashback and the present in Obsidian are examples of how when the mission hits too close to home or challenges them in especially sensitive areas (I maintain that flashback and present events in Obsidian hit them BOTH right in the childhood trauma) they can take it too far and push each other in ways that really hurt without knowing the depth of what they’re doing. Like, y’know, the kind of thing that happens sometimes in all healthy relationships.

The difference is that in the present day of Obsidian they both have a little more insight into themselves and are able to separate their own pain and insecurities from the other’s a little more after some time to process alone, and their second trip to the Glass Kingdom helps them both grow even further in that area.

I think (and hope I’m right in saying so because what do I know) that they have such a realistic relationship and their communication is so evident in their actions, even though we don’t often see those conversations actually happen on screen.

They aren’t perfect! and I don’t think being in a healthy, (mostly) happy, loving relationship takes anything away from their characters OR from their cool weird edgy mad scientist overlord X chaotic demon vampire vibe.
