I wish people would recognize better the difference between abusive relationships and toxic ones. I don’t know how much difference it makes, in practice, but maybe knowing they’ve hurt the other person just as deeply and that person is also still carrying that hurt years later, would make people feel less helpless, when that’s the case.

johto’s champion and chronicler for the deity of the ilex shrine, it’s lyra!🌿
this one took me a while due to trying out different techniques (studying a Lot of art nouveau) and making a couple changes to her outfit (the details help), but I’d like to think she’s learned a lot in her journey and wanted to reflect her experience more in her champion fit
her specialty would be in fairy types and her meganium’s divergent evolution is grass/fairy 🧚🪷
and a bonus w/ the johto gang after the photoshoot!

Something I wonder about Simon and Betty's relationship is how long they were together before the whole crown ordeal. But they were engaged, you say. My aunt (in)famously met my uncle and had a ring on her finger in 8 weeks. We've seen that both Betty and Simon were both weird outcasts, crazy determined and a pinch insane. I would not be surprised if they decided they'd met their one true love and got engaged super quick.
My point being, Betty's shifting to revolve around Simon and Simon's rose colored glasses of their relationship feels very much like New Love. They're people who love each other and love being a couple but still haven't quite figured out how to coexist together, as two people in a partnership. I feel like if they'd known each other longer, lived together longer, some of the issues we're seeing would have probably self resolved.
I don't think their relationship is toxic nor is it totally perfect. It's two lonely, most likely neurodivergent people in a relatively early relationship still figuring out how it works. Everything that happened afterwards: the crown, the seperation, the time travel, the magic/madness/sadness just exemplified issues they had both as individuals and as a couple.

We've reached a new level of forgetting Hermie, friends, where Anthony gave him A Fact, declared him technically a toddler, and then had a huge Foster-Close Family episode where Hermie wasn't mentioned a single time

don’t get me wrong I think the general interpretation of Leo being like “I put up a cocky front but deep down I don’t actually think I’m that great and that’s why I have something to prove” is good. It’s cool, plenty of drama/angst potential and probably what the creators were going for, I’m here for it.
But there is a distinct appeal to me of the slightly-to-the-left interpretation of Leo being like “it’s not a front, I know I’m that good/smart/skilled, but I also know I’m seen by others as just the goofball face man and that’s why I have something to prove.”

Broke: Only fucked-up relationships are interesting in stories! Healthy couples are BORING!
Woke: CONFLICT is what's interesting in a narrative and often conflict IN A RELATIONSHIP is what can make a story out of that relationship, but this does not have to mean that the relationship itself is unhealthy or "fucked up" as a result. Conflict can come from anywhere, whether it's inside the relationship or something the people involved are facing outside of the relationship that impacts their dynamic. Healthy couples are not inherently boring any more than toxic/fucked-up couples are inherently interesting. The quality of the story and the way the writing weaves the conflict and the relationship together is what creates a compelling narrative. Simplifying it down to "only fucked-up relationships can be compelling in a narrative" is just unhelpful and untrue.

I personally believe that Briar Beuty and Raven Queen should have become the best of friends after the Thronecoming fiasco. Raven knows to an extent how Briar feels, I mean we don't even know if the people trapped in the mirror prison can die while in there or if they are forever trapped, and now that Briar has expressedly voiced her thoughts on following your destiny and signing the book I think that Raven would have understood her point of view.

Watched a double bill made in hell - 'Anatomy of a fall (2023)' and 'You're killing me Susana (2016)' - in the span of a few hours and now I don't ever want to get married in case I get stuck in a toxic marriage or rather stuck with a toxic man as my husband/partner

“y'all want toxic ships in media but you couldn't even handle c//a!!”
hate to break it to you but you're not thinking of the same people.
c//a antis aren't the ones who want toxic relationships in media. most of us want to see healthy relationships that are built on mutual trust and understanding.
and let's just say, even if we do want to see toxic ships in media, we want to see them as they are. not romanticized, not sexualized, not framed as anything but a toxic relationship.
