listen there are friendships and then there are relationships and then there's the secret third thing where you're bound in unbearable, irreversible ways like knots tenderly woven into a tapestry of each others' bodies and you could leave, you could undo it, undo yourself but... would you?

#listen listen #there are some connections that our daily language is so inadequate to describing and honoring in an honest way #ESPECIALLY the daily English language #like i legit get angry when people look at some comnections and smile and say ''oh that's a romantic relationship :) ''#the general mental image associated with that combination of words comes up incredibly cheap and superficial and trivial #compared tp the complexity that is taking place in real time #my blood boils when people call Jyn Erso & Cassian Andor's connection a rOmAnTiC ReLaTiOnShiP #like sure you do you it's fine but also they're not a couple they're fates entertwined in death #it's kinda like watching two stars collide in an internal explosion and going ''that's a relationship :)'' you're technically not wrong #but the interpretation is so surface level and mundane that i want to kill it with a fly swatter #same goes for uhhh Ian and Lip's connection in Shameless US #it's family; it's friendship; right. it's not #it's a mini cosmos forming and expanding in real time
