I only half believe this because I truly believe that doing the right thing can be synonymous with doing the hardest and most painful thing but also——
good solid and true moral wisdom doesn’t hurt you past the point of ever healing or being able to function. if someone is recommending a course of action to you and it‘s tearing you apart to contemplate it or to follow it there’s probably something wrong with that advice.
#or let me put it this way. God’s wounds are pure wounds. they’re clean#they take courage to embrace and to face and they absolutely do hurt!!!!!!!!!!!#but they don’t fester and they don’t torture and they don’t unsettle#so if you’re trying to follow moral advice that does any of those things …… it probably ain’t if fam#there’s a lot of nuance to be added here re: developing your own conscience and doing a certain amount of strength training and refining#in your own emotional life#but like. yeah.#it was really important to me for a while —that concept of doing the hard thing can break your heart#and it still is!!!! but actually there is a martyr-ish blindness that thinks the path of virtue is paved with thorns#that unrelentingly tear you to pieces and it’s like ………….#1) grow up#2) the path IS thorny and narrow#the cross is real!!!!!!!!!!!#the cross also brings peace.#not as the world gives sure!#but !! it !!!!!! is !!!!!!!!!! peace !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#it is not torture#if you are constantly tormented by trying to live a certain way that is your body/soul trying to tell you something is wrong#your comfort is not the ultimate test of whether or not something is the right moral course of action!!!#but it is PART of discerning it#you need to calm down!!!!!!!!! smell some roses!!!!!!!!!! and take the most common sense advice you can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#if you're stuck in a toxically morally evil situation then yeah. it will take a knife to set you free#but it will not continue to needle you forever! there will be peace even in the sharpest wound of it#there's either emotional self-indulgence where the pain is something you're holding ONTO or the situation causing it is bad!!!#anyway i feel i still need to distinguish between the kinds of suffering but i'm talking about the panicky never-ending festering kind#we ARE actually pretty good at figuring out if we're at peace underneath a wound. or at least we can if we investigate#me: i can't explain! no time for nuance! also me: tries to add nuance in the tags#no idea where this came from but here you go

Taking the current topic as an excuse to ask you to tell me all the reasons you love Rarijack. Your art for the ship is so sweet and intimate I'd love to hear any in depth thoughts you have.
Breathes in.
I think what makes their dynamic really strong is that they have opposing personalities but aligned values. It's deeper than just "opposites attract." Rarity's fancy, prissy, and femme while Applejack's modest, rough, and "masculine." But both value hard work (to the point of being workaholics), their families (both have guardianship over their little sisters), running successful businesses, and eventually each other. Their relationship can be boiled down to, "Despite our differences/disagreements, I still like you because we value the same things."
We see their relationship develop so much. In the first season, they can't stop bickering about surface-level differences. By season four, they still bicker, but will mend their relationship because they can't help but do nice things for each other. In Trade Ya, they start off arguing over personality differences (Applejack likes old junk and Rarity likes useless crap). Then they pivot and start arguing that they value their relationship more than the other. In the end, they mend things by sacrificing their needs and buying each other a gift. Even if they don't understand it, they know it'd make the other happy. And that's all that really matters. It's a genuinely sweet moment that shows how arguing can be healthy and necessary for relationships to strengthen.
We even see them dropping their hang-ups about each others' personalities. In Made in Manehattan, when Rarity runs off in dramatics about someone's fashion, AJ doesn't roll her eyes or scoff, she smiles. Oftentimes, their conflicts are very common domestic conflicts romantic couples face. Applejack's Day Off is about a woman's inability to balance work and life and find time to properly spend with her partner, causing her partner to feel neglected.
By season seven, they're actively participating in each others' interests. Any problems or conflicts that arise are dealt with, and they come out the other end stronger and closer. In Honest Apple, AJ pretty much spells out why their relationship works so well: even though she doesn't understand fashion, she can recognize and appreciate how much work it takes and wants to respect that. When she realizes her mistake in the episode, AJ goes above and beyond to fix things and apologize to Rarity. They care about each other so much.
The two go out of their way, sacrificing their personal desires and beliefs and doing things they normally wouldn't, to make the other happy. That's just love.
Tumblr media
There's Simple Ways, where AJ gets stuck in an unwanted love triangle between Rarity and her hipster crush. And her frustration and anger can be so easily interpreted as AJ finding herself in a terrible position; the girl she loves wants another man, and that man wants her.
I dunno. I've always had a preference for opposites attract ships, but Rarijack's stuck with me like a brain worm because they have the perfect chemistry. The way they show they care, or do things for each other, I've always read it as the truest representation of romance in the show.

dunno if this has been done yet but: airplane didn’t first become aware of peerless cucumber in the comments of pidw, he first saw peerless in the comments of a different web novel (that perhaps was one of airplane’s earlier works?) and so when initially drafting pidw he was inspired to write a villain just like cucumber bc “he’s MEAN MEAN for no reason, a literature snob, and pretends to be all high and mighty while looking down on others. also likes to kick down the little guy” and boom. sqq was born. cut to years later post-transmigration when sqh just casually drops this info with “lol i always did find it funny how much you hated the guy considering he’s literally based off you”

"it's bury your gays" they're all gay one of them just died "well it's bury your gay elders" Fang is older than Izzy and he's still kicking, "it's bury your disabled gays" Lucius, Ed, and Spanish Jackie, still around. "What about the people who come out late in life???" Stede divorced his wife at the ripe old age of 48, he's living in a seaside cabin with his boyfriend. "It's saying that people who are repressed/struggle with internalized homophobia deserve to die" *Regina George* so you agree, he's homophobic, but also, once again, Stede's still breathing. "But-"
You know you can be upset about your favorite side character dying without making up reasons the show is secretly bad

You ever think about Crocodile's pre midlife crisis disillusionment-with-piracy look? I think about it a lot.
I am completely normal about this.
EDIT: Hey, hey you, psst. I did some more work on this!
