woulf kafka get jealous if her s/o was flirted on by someone? 🤔🤔

short answer: no

long answer: i think it’s mostly semantics for people but i personally dont define jealousy and envy as the same thing and dont use them interchangeably. jealousy is a lot more rooted in insecurity for me which includes fear of some sort, and i don’t think kafka is an insecure person at all. her perception of herself is very positive and it’s not something that can be changed by a rando flirting with her baby. i dont think changes in her self esteem can be brought on by external forces (what others do) because it’s a relatively stable thing in general and for someone like her, who likely doesnt feel fear of rejection/replacement/not being good enough, i don’t see why she would be jealous. i think possessiveness and jealousy are two different things as well (theyre not always mutually exclusive) and that she would be more the former than the latter. imo she would be aware that her baby is hot and would feel more “pride” than jealousy or annoyance. in a “you want her so bad but shes mine😋” kind of way. she’d rub it in their faces with pda too. you know what i mean? if someone’s ogling her baby she would grab their ass or kiss them or something like that but it’s possessiveness, not jealousy… now onto envy that i mentioned earlier, if the opposite happens where her s/o is a little too friendly with someone else i think she would be envious of that attention and would want it for herself. for example; her s/o hugs someone for a little too long and she’s like “i want a hug too🙁” with a pretend pout that will get her what she wants and will divert their attention back to her. she’d be more focused on “i want this” than “i dont like this [behavior]”. but again, it’s semantics and nuances and i just like dissecting kafka’s brain, im a psych girlie so i cant help it

it’s also my opinion so u dont have to agree lol but i hope im making some sense

i made that post about having astarion brainworms and it got like 80k notes but now that i actually have the game and am experiencing the characters firsthand i'm realizing my perceptions of both him as a character and how i would feel about him were off the mark

would love your thoughts on the g0th-butch/glitterock terf situation. especially since frozenknight is on a tumblr break right now because of it

a terfs a terf. sometimes someone's in the sphere and you interact w them sometimes and think they're cool until you find something out. quite frankly I never really became invested in g0th-butch and I can't really think of any of their posts. blocked and moved on

I don't think you need to stir the pot like this w frozenknight. Idk what the ask that got deleted said and without that knowledge, my feelings are that these big controversies suck and I think it's at very least neutral to not really want to answer a bunch of asks about it and get involved w the group discussion 🤷‍♀️

despite being quite into shipping dynamics and wolships (I gave my girl like. six. she's got a complicated love life) I do get incredibly annoyed when some people discuss npcs being into the wol as "canonical"

There's only like one or two npcs I can think of where there was explicit flirting, but most of the time it's just "oh this character has deep feelings of admiration, dedication and respect for the wol and you can interpret that as you like." and a lot of it is my aromantic ass, but when playing I mostly didn't see characters like g'raha, aymeric, etc as inherently romantic. I definitely went "I see why people ship this" but as someone who gets very giddy and eager about wanting to be friends with someone I think is really cool I could also see their interactions in that light.

honestly this isnt even directed at people who like shipping with these characters but moreso people ive seen talk about how they dont like "how many characters are pushed onto them" and im begging you...you dont have to interpret it that way. especially if its making you unhappy. but also just when anyone discusses characters being "canonically in love with the wol" I find it very often makes me go "ok we clearly had very different outlooks" and it can just be very alienating at times to see people act like romance is the one true canon interpretation.

okay so. so. so okay. just finished season 5 finale (still reeling, mind you) and went headfirst to watching fight the future and uh why did no one tell me.

i wish i could put into words the way i feel right now. i feel like i'm doing everything i can to do the right thing. the right thing for ME. but with every decision i make, i feel extreme guilt and second guess myself like crazy. like i dont KNOW what im doing idk if any of the decisions i am making are actually good for me. i am constantly in this state of isolation and loneliness, but when there's a chance for a potential romantic relationship i back away and ignore the possibilities of what could come from it. i don't want to be in love but i crave intimacy. i don't want to hook up and leave, but i want someone to hold me.

is there anything worse than being rejected by a potential friend 😐

and what the more nuanced opinions about s*yloy?

censoring the ship name 💀 ive been trying to avoid all the post-burning shores drama that seems to be happening in the horizon fandom... ive seen some Nasty stuff getting thrown around and im not just talking about the usual gamer-homophobes (those im unfortunately used to by now)

i think overall theyre cute!! their relationship in this dlc is about how aloy is Truly evolving to accept people into her life on a Deep and Personal level. and i am NOT saying that she doesnt also care deeply for her current cast of friends (i think she might even have Feelings for some of them shes not letting herself be aware of (and im talking since ZD)). but its established in forbidden west that aloy has trouble connecting to people on that deep level, and she more often slips off into the night on her own than choosing to stick by them long term. she cares for them, she'll always help them, but something seems to keep scaring her off

the end of the dlc has aloy saying the idea of a home and tribe has always scared her since she grew up so disconnected from the nora. her development throughout FW (although i had issues with the writing and pacing of it) is about her putting down those walls and Truly letting people into her life. and seyka, being so similar to herself in so many ways yet having a positive relationship with her tribe, is kind of the perfect storm for this new aloy. her feelings are new and clumsy and she stumbles over herself. she doesnt always seem as cool and collected as she usually is and it sometimes seems to even throw her off. its cute!

i dont necessarily have any problem with Them. my problems more so were related to the execution of the writing and pacing of the dlc as a whole. and those problems stem back to the writing and pacing problems ive had since forbidden west... they just kinda got caught in the crossfire a bit (as did some of the FW companions when i first played through but have since warmed up to more). i went back and rewatched my friends stream of it and i found myself less frustrated than i was when we first went through it, but there were still a few moments here and there (between them and in the overarching plot in general) that just made me go 🤨 the execution was messy or weak or strange at times but again thats not just a dlc problem for me. i can at least appreciate the intention of what they were Trying to do with aloy and seyka. and as a plus they hit a number of tropes i really like

i think what bothered me more was the way guerrilla marketed her? its weird because they boasted about how "special and unique" she was when i feel she shares a lot of qualities that aloys other companions also have (down to c-cast characters like ikrie and nakoa). like.. i LIKE all of these characters for these similar qualities! it was just weirdly disrespectful to their own cast? i dont think that was their intention but it was... interesting

especially since i believe this experience with seyka is Massively important for aloy moving forward in regards to her relationships. aloy at the end of the dlc after her time with seyka is Completely Ready to accept what her idea of "home" is, and she realizes thats the connections shes made with the people around her. i really hope seyka gets to escape the dlc and join up with the cast in Horizon 3 (i was already disappointed when ikrie didnt make a reappearance). but since the dlc ended in flashpoints where you could accept or reject her, i Definitely believe this implementation will return in Horizon 3 with our cast of companions (not every aloy chose to kiss seyka so some aloys are returning to base single (but seemingly ready to mingle)). in the past when these flashpoints have come up (like with avad in both ZD and FW) aloy always seems resistant in some way even if you Do choose the heart option. but seyka is evidence that aloy really IS ready for that level of commitment post-BS. and since these are still choices tied to flashpoints, your aloy can do whatever she wants! the point is that regardless of any romance, shes ready to accept her friends as her Tribe
