The same kind of people who say "Ukraine must've does something wrong to be invaded" are the same kind of people who say that a woman must been doing something wrong in order to get raped, must've been "asking for it".

Ur tags about how Miles and Pavitr are the ones who say "I can do both" because it IS quintessential spiderman thinking AND because they're too young to have seen that devastatingly not work yet. BUT the thing is they are RIGHT but only if it's "we"! Spiderman's mythos is inherently a lonely one reinforced by Miles and Gwen's isolation and by every. single. intro. reminding us that every spider person is the "one and only spider person"! And yet!! These films are just about relationships (1/2)
YES YEAH YOU GET IT !!!! and (quite recently rewatched it and mentioning it here cause i can't believe i forgot to mention it in the post you're talking about) it really gets me that gwen also says 'i was doing both' in regards to protecting miles and protecting the canon event, and i love that the phrase was reflected like that, even tho (at this point of the movie) miles and gwen pretty much oppose each other in views/priority !!
it also absolutely kills me the way that gwen begins (like you say) atsv quitting the band and isolates herself, and then throughout the whole thing she finds something/someone that she wants to take that leap for, all over again :') she (and the entire spider-team!!) is willing to bet everything on miles and is ready to fight for him, and i really just love the idea that miles just is a force that inspires good !!!! IT REALLY IS ALL ABOUT LOVE!!!

theres a woman at my work who cannot ever do a single thing correctly like no matter what the task is whatever you ask her to do she will do it wrong 100% of the time. in a way that i don’t even understand how it’s possible. and every single time this happens she responds with complete denial that it could be her fault. and the craziest thing is i feel like everyone i know has a coworker like this and i don’t get how it’s possible how does a person evolve to be like this

“I’m sure part of you wants to follow in their footsteps” holy shit temsen does not hold back 💀 it’s true though!! ef wants to have power and the people who have had power over him have been callous and cruel. but he has to unlearn those patterns aaauGh i love reading about ef learning how to be a person again in every universe
Temsen does not hold back. Though to be fair, he'd kind of snapped at that point and delivered a much more reasonable (though still very stern) lecture before that.
The fact is, Efnisien has been domestically violent, and he's been abusive. Gary acts so permissive of it that in some ways we all do, but it is an act of domestic violence to destroy someone's loved items, knowing it will hurt them. You don't have to hit someone to be a domestically violent abuser, and Efnisien has a lot of different methods covered.
I find this kind of path really interesting. Efnisien's not really learned better because of his upbringing and he needs to be expected to do better at the same time. In many respects, that's not fair. He's not being given time to process what was done to him, while being expected to step up in Hillview, which is a place where he was abandoned by his family.
I think it will be quite a divisive chapter, frankly. My sympathies are actually very much with Efnisien, but the story could not afford to be soft to him in that moment. Part of his growth journey is well, growing, and learning to take responsibility for his actions. So I think some people will feel that Temsen (and me by association) are being very unfair or even mean to Efnisien.
I'm also okay with that. I think some people will also take Gary's side. And some folks won't take any sides. It's a tense series of chapters, that's for sure!
These boys aren't perfect, but they're getting there.

saw someone on twt basically say that ppl can't change or learn and that doing something better after being called out is "fake activism" and I'm so..... shut up just shut the hell up. Denying a person the right to learn and improve and acting like the first thing they say on anything is set in concrete is fucking insane to me

We won't ever get it, but I think it would've been cool to see an antagonist/client who hates Edgeworth specifically because of what he did as von Karma's student. Like someone whose loved one -- I want to say 'sister' because AA, but I think it'd be pretty cool if it was their father -- was wrongly convicted and given the death sentence because he silenced witnesses or presented faulty evidence or something similar, and there's no fix to it. The case ends with the truth being revealed and ringing hollow, because they don't want revenge, not really; maybe they just want the verdict overturned, but even that doesn't change anything, because the person is gone, and whatever damage could have been done has been done, and they just have to live with it, all of them. I think it'd be interesting to see how Edgeworth and the people around him handle that confrontation -- the idea that you can change and try to fix your mistakes the best you can, but there are some things you'll never be able to atone for. Not really. And you just have to keep living.

something that isn't talked about much when it comes to healing yourself is that it might end up killing relationships (both romantic and platonic)
and i don't mean that in a way that should dissuade anyone from trying to heal. i mean you are where you are, on a path to try and get better, to do right by yourself and take care of the child inside you and nurture the things that have been hurt and sometimes you look around and realize that the people that you used to stand beside are a half-mile back on the track, so far that you can barely see them
and you want them to be with you still. you know that if they can get themselves up this hill with you that they'll feel better. things can get better and it's hard but you're up here climbing a hill, you know that it's possible and they can do it too! they can climb the hill with you and look out at this great view
but
you can't move their legs for them. and no matter how you wave or cajole or promise that it's not as hard once you get into it, they will not move from where they are. and you can sit there and try to talk to them from afar, but the healthier you get the harder it is to yell back to where they're standing.
sometimes there comes a point that you have to turn around completely because the path they want to stay on will only leash you back to a lower point. and that's... not actually your fault.
and yeah that can get so very frustrating. there have been times in my life where while talking to friends who were in bad spirals i would get frustrated b/c no matter what i said or did it seemed like they were hellbent on staying exactly where they were no matter how much they hated it or how much it hurt them. i could sit down and walk with them through resources and venting sessions and so many ways to to get out of the place they were in and it just... repeated. in a cycle. at some point i had to come to terms with the fact that you can't help someone who refuses to take the first step to help themselves and sometimes sticking around someone like that is only going to keep you tethered to that mental state.
