#breaking the love triangle

[jade-of-mourning]

sorry sometimes i think about mako and my heart hurts so much. this kid raised himself and his brother on the streets in homelessness and utter poverty from eight through fifteen, promptly after seeing the violent death of his mother and father. he turned to the triple threats because they couldn't survive as a pair of wretched kids without any adult support, and the environment forced him to turn into the exact character that killed his parents in a terrible twist of irony. and after sheer-fucking-luck hits and they aren't homeless anymore, their livelihood wavers on the outcome of what's a literally game to everyone but them; and after things are finally starting to look up and their team is going places and things just might be okay, his gradually stabilizing world unceremoniously expands and everything goes to shit.

and the city that chewed him up and spat him back out, ruined him as a child and took away his ability to stay afloat in a true sense of normalcy as an adult — when it's on the verge of destruction and falling to pieces before his eyes, he gives himself to save it with the full expectation to die. he went from the kid who didn't and couldn't care about anything outside of himself and his brother, to finding redemption for his younger self in his police work despite its injustice against him, to willingly sacrificing himself to a world that had never loved him.

he's a desperate people pleaser, socially and emotionally stunted for the adult he had to be as a kid, unable to navigate interpersonal relationships easily yet still trying his damned hardest. he's intensely and entirely devoted to the things that matter to him and for so long it was only him, bolin, and ensuring their survival — yet by the end, that devotion has expanded to protecting the rest of the world. he starts out entirely self-reliant and ends in trusting the people he cares about to know their own needs, to be able to take care of themselves, to be okay without him despite having spent so much of his life defined by his role in others' well-being.

just. what the fuck i'm such a big fan of this fictional guy and i'm unashamed about it at this point. also let him cry please (if you won't i'll do it i'll let him cry)

#lychee's brain trash #mako lok #mako tlok #sorry for the shitpost i don't do a lot of those i realize #how tf did this guy not had a massive break down in canon at any point #nd like;; he never shows resentment for the unfairness of it all #he doesn't ever use his past to excuse any of his choices/actions that are influenced by it #which is pretty intrinsically linked to his relationship fumbles #he just quietly holds himself accountable and probably mildly despises himself haha #as much as i don't care for the love triangle it really does make complete sense in accordance to his backstory #anyway this is just a roundabout way of me expressing my salt at people writing him off as a malicious asshole lol #i literally cannot articulate the intense complex things his conjured up existence makes me feel #this does not even scratch the surface there is SO MUCH #i need to actually write the fifty fics that exist to my brain otherwise all these thoughts will never see the sun #trust that one day the avatar!mako au will emerge from my drafts;;; #and. you know. that one shot i've had in wip for the past 2.5 years #and the four other oneshots that will probably never be converted into actual words

ok max.

#roddy it’s so over for you #do you know who would be really interested in breaking this love triangle up-

[t00thpasteface]

my mom never disowned me for being a lesbian nor my brother for being trans but i think she might consider it if i told her i like bj hunnicutt and think he's funny

#trapper is my mom's special little guy. i am Not getting involved i'm doing my own thing breaking up the love triangle #shoving bj AND trapper out of the way and putting mulcahy in there instead. you boys go squabble it out somewhere else #shebbz shoutz #mash

the romance drama on my sonic tomodachi life island is honestly kind of insane im trying to make a chart of it right now and im struggling to not make it super cluttered

#Btw i just want you all to know that all the teenagers are like having the most ridiculous love triangles ever #except for tangle and whisper. they immediately fell in love not long afte ri made them without me influencing it at all #and they havent shown interest in anyone else and nobody has tried to break them up either. #they will find eachother and be in gay love in every universe i guess #belle metal sonic honey and mighty also arent really involved with that whole mess #but thats just because they havent really made many friends that would be possible romantic candidates yet #tomodachiposting

there is no greater proof that john is tumblr girlie than his approach to conflict resolution but a close second is his decision to rebuild a society where the genders are sword and necromancy. and then making the most sword coded guy in his life a necromancer. pyrrha really took his man. she stole his codependent enabling cuddle buddy and now she's wearing his body. she has his eyes.

#pyrrha/gideon/john #is one of the more underrated love triangles of our time #i am extremely excited for john-pyrrha interactions i think they're going to be so deranged about the love lost between them and pyrrha #wearing gideon's face but in a completely exhausted way #also the our girl gideon paternity confusion issue #john crawling through gideon's window and into his bed when they were kids is canon to me ok #gideon breaking john's heart a little isn't canon to me #i think gideon was always there and always on his side and at some point that turned from relief and safety to terrible responsibility bcs #john cannot let himself have a win and he knows he can't trust himself! which now also means he can't trust gideon #however however IMAGINE baby john like one day we'll have our own house and no one will tell us what to do

Kangok to Jiyong: You and I are alike. Let's be friends.

Jiyong: I don't care.

Meanwhile.

Jiyong to Johoen: You and I are alike. I can't wait to see where you'll lead me. uwu.

#why is he smiling at joheon? #jiyong this man wants to kill you? #there is someone over there begging for your affection but you're here thirsting after the giant who can break you in half #baby please #why? #this was not the love triangle I had in mind for you #leave these toxic old men alone for crying out loud #vigilante disney #vigilante kdrama

#bizarre love triangle playlist #stranger things #el hopper #el's pov #okay so basically this song sort of captures el's series long realization coming to a head #which is that she never needed to hear mike say i love you for it to be real #she needed to feel it based on his actions #i don't necessarily think she was going to break up with mike here #because arguably she already dumped his ass with that from el letter #HOWEVER i do think she was prepared to solidify her concerns and how she feels now #maybe her hope was to rid mike of his misery and try to meet him on his level and put all of this fake nonsense to rest #with them both coming to the decision mutually that it would be better for them to focus on being friends #bc she will always want that even if mike is too much of a peabrain to realize that it's even an option for them (yet) #he's giving her all these signals up to this point that he does not have romantic feelings for her #it was never about him not being able to say i love you (tho it contributed in that he avoided it) #it was the fact that she needed to hear it at all to believe it that cemented their permanent romantic fallout #a consistent parallel between the endgame couples is that none of them ever say i love you out loud #bc they show it! and the other person knows as a result! #which follows the whole 'show dont tell' rule #el basically broke up with mike in vol 1 and was prepared to not see him for a long time or ever again #but then they were reuniting and she was so relieved that didn't have to be the case #and yet mike isn't kissing her #he's not saying he loves her #he's stalling #but i think el takes it as him respecting her decision to finally call it quits via her from el letter and that maybe he's matured since s3 #but then he's rambling and dancing around his words #and you can literally see the pity start to be written all over her face #it's as if she's realizing he's going to try to mend their romantic relationship AGAIN even tho she can tell his heart isn't in it #she looks confused and almost disappointed #then abruplty romeo is interrupted

In a recent interview with Variety Emma Myers (Enid's actress) also wants Wednesday to be single for season 2 but is not opposed to a wenclair storyline for future seasons.

She gets it. I’m with her 100%. Especially with this eight episode seasons I think they’d be wise to just chill on the romance for Wednesday and then hint at Wenclair at the end of the season. I say this as someone who has shipped a lot of non canon ships, but for me respecting the characters and how important they are to each other is more important than rushing into a love story.

#Wednesday Netflix #Wednesday Addams #Wenclair #like my girl needs a break #The love triangle was the weakest part of the show #Enid can wait #not too long though

why is there not enough discussion on saul and skyler’s relationship… they should’ve interacted more in canon but like. think abt it

skyler is this competent blonde woman who’s extremely smart and good at scamming (and pretty! and associated with blue!) and she has the biggest dipshit husband ever.

saul who is oh so desperately trying to keep his unloving sleazeball act up is failing bc. my God does this woman remind him of kim in the saddest way possible (ntm they start interacting more post gale death, when shit i’d argue really starts falling apart… Hmmm). he still acts like a dick to her but… in a protective way i feel. like he doesn’t want her to be nice to him or get close to him but still showing he has her back in his own fucked up way

and saul being soooo pissed that walt bagged this perfect woman and he’s still being a disrespectful shit like saul might be misogyny queen but even he was weirded tf out w walt…

#also they should have like the saddest sex ever #nsft tags #like im being serious they both hate themselves and their lives and i’d see it as like. the whole ted thing but even worse somehow #at least ted seemed kinda nice a bit even if he was a bit stupid and weird but saul? my god #also i live the idea of walt saul homoerotic hate tension alongside saul’s very obvious unresolved feelings for kim manifesting in the #feelings towards skyler. like this shit is so messy and if i was a good enough writer i would write this bc it would be good #im putting this out here for the good writers make my weird brba nightmare … love triangle if u can even call it that…. true #/j but yknow #mepost #brba #breaking bad #brbabcs #hf #si #rambles #mtags #brba spoilers #bcs spoilers

Controversial LOK opinion, but Mako >>>>> Bolin

Mako gets so much hate for a love triangle he didn't even start (and all the blame, even though Korra and Asami were the ones actively pursuing him) while Bolin was out here repeatedly kissing a woman who kept telling him no.

#legend of korra #lok #mako #bolin #korra #asami sato #this is also no hate to korra or asami #I love them #and I dont hate Bolin #but if I had to pick a least favorite #it's 100% him #they could never make me hate you Mako #and this isnt to say that Mako is perfect or handled the love triangle in a perfect manner #BUT im tired of people acting like Korra and Asami were just victims of Mako #as if Korra didn't kiss him when he was with Asami #and as if Asami didn't kiss him after his break up with Korra #THEYRE ALL TO BLAME #STOP ONLY SHITTING ON MAKO #he was actually such a good friend to Korra after they broke up too #platonic makorra i will always love you

the more time that passes the more I realise how LITTLE we learnt from chot. like the only things that we found out that affected the later books was why mina won't have belial powers and Jesse's tomb from sobh. Matthew's flask ?? the beautiful cordelia?? the door from los that kit, livvy and ty find?? the weird herondale-blackthorn entwined paper kit finds in blackthorn hall?? why everyone was so sad about matthew later on? WHY THE CARSTAIRS OWE THE HERONDALES??? WHEN DO WE FIND OUT ALL THIS???

#and like maybe she'll tell us in twp but the effect of it will be dulled so tragically #she gave us 400 pages of the worst love triangle and no answers #i really hope that writing break she's taking this year works out because i have so many hopes on twp #tsc #kit herondale #twp #sobh #ty blackthorn #tlh #kitty #james herondale #tessa gray #will herondale #wessa #matthew fairchild #thomas lightwood #alastair carstairs #thomstair #cordelia carstairs #christopher lightwood #chain of thorns #chain of gold #chain of iron #the last hours
