#letters and bottles

[alasforher]

Dear Ed,

The crew and I are safe and thriving. Still a bit unclear whether you wanted to leave them for dead? Or perhaps that was just an oversight?

As I’ve renounced my wealth, we’ve been forced to take up temporary residence on the Republic of Pirates. Fortunately we’ve been able to work a few of Oluwande’s connections.

To reiterate, we are doing great. Hope you are as well. I think of you often. Hope you’re thinking of me, as well.

I know the odds of this finding you are slim, but so were the odds of us finding each other in the first place.

in s1 there are all this moments when ed is being very vulnerable with stede: telling him about his father/the Kraken, how he doesn't like the persona he is portrayed as and haven't killed anyone since, about his deep love of all things beautiful or that he feels relieved that they can breathe and take things slow after they sign the act of grace.

we don't see that from stede. he is so anxiety and guilt stricken he never once mentions the emotional abuse he was put through: by his family, other children or even the current visions of badminton and the mockery that comes with them - which is just his inside voice personified. he doesn't mention mary or the kids or the life he left behind. he keeps it all inside because that's also what he was thought to do, as he was constantly told he is weak for those feelings.

the scene where he talks with mary is the first time we see him break down those walls and i think the fact he now talks about loving (and hurting) ed so openly is a sign that he is taking that step.

so i really hope we get more vulnerable scene's between them this season, but with stede confiding in ed and hopefully telling him the truth about why he went back home and the emotional torments the whole deal with badminton's put him through.

not to be too real but since we're talking about it... we always talk about will feeling lonely which is fair, but... it is such an Ugly, isolating, and genuinely heart-wrenching feeling to be the odd one out in your family, and to watch them treat others who aren't related to you the way you wish they would treat you, to watch them perform their familial roles with them and not you.

nancy's the only person in his family that mike could talk to, the only person that has the same trauma and would understand, and yet... he can't. they don't ever talk unless it's to be snippy and bite. nancy spends more time caring about max and will than she does mike, her own little brother.

holly is too young for him to bond with like that. she's just barely a kid, one that still needs to be cared for.

his mom tries her best, but he doesn't feel comfortable being vulnerable with her. considering the fact that she did everything "right" according to society's standards and married their dad of all people, i doubt he feels comfortable showing her who he really is. he lets her hug him when he's at his lowest, but we don't see them actually connecting.

his dad is just some ghost that haunts his house. he doesn't care about mike or think highly of him at all. the only times we've seen him pay mike any attention are when he belittles his interests, mocks him, punishes him, or shuts him down by telling him to listen to his mother. the only support he gets from him is financial in nature.

meanwhile, everyone else has a family they can turn to. dustin, despite lying to his mother to keep her out of his shenanigans, seems to have a decent relationship with her. even if he doesn't, he still has steve and robin. lucas is shown to have a healthy relationship with his parents and erica. will and el have their family.

max's situation is different, but she has the backing of the party; people that love her and actively try to help her and pull her back into the world of the living. she isn't thrust into a leadership role that doesn't allow for vulnerability. she has nancy who is willing to fight monsters for her, el who literally performed a miracle for her, and lucas who has stood by her since the beginning.

and mike... well. he has will back now, sure, but... things have been different between them for a long time now, even if they're both trying their best to be how they were before. and before then, will obviously was in california, not returning his calls or reaching out, making mike feel like he'd lost him for good.

so... all that being said, it's not that surprising that mike is the way he is: riddled with abandonment issues, wanting to be needed, immediately apologizing whenever he dares to open up, inclined to give others the protection and comfort no one's ever given him, prone to jealousy and possessiveness, unable to be completely and wholly honest about what troubles him, not exactly the most open to new people, and someone with appallingly low self-esteem.

you know how they say people that are drowning don't always look like they're drowning? that's mike.

Thinking furilumi thoughts rn

What if Lumine invited Furina to join her on her adventures. Of course she should let her have all the rest she wants first but Furina is what? Early 20s newly mortal and got her whole life ahead of her now, having been trapped as the archon for 500 years I bet she's never really been to another nation. I'd be awesome for Lumine take her outside Fontaine and experience everything teyvat has to offer. And I think it would be good for her mental health to not be stuck in Fontaine all her life.

Lumine showing Furina all her favourite places, introducing her friends and teaching Furina all the recipes she's learned over her travels. Lumine slowly realising that she really likes Furinas company and this is the first time she's had a long term adventuring companion (that's not paimon) and that whoops she may be a little in love with her actually.

Furina for the first time in her life being genuinely 100% happy and not feeling like anyone has any expectations of her or that she has to put up a facade and she can just enjoy herself. She learns more about herself and the places around her, I think it would take her longer than Lumine to develop feelings or realise she's feeling them in the first place.

Also think I'd be rly funny if she just sends Neuvillette bottles of random water from places she's been.

Wait so I know technology exists in the Spiral but like does Wizard City have phones. Like do our Wizards have any type of device of communication on them at all. Like how the fuck are we able to like know when anybody from out of our location needs us how do our notifications work. Is there like a Homing Pigeon System being funded somewhere or
