Whether that means icing your bruises , kissing your scrapes , or just running you a warm bath, she will do anything for you ❤️

surprise visits ;

despite both of your conflicting schedules , she tries her best to surprise you with visits

Trailer park JJ is the definition of grown man dick. Imagine he’s being a real fucking asshole, even more emotionally unavailable than he usually is and you can’t stand it.

So, you start saying yes to a few dates, ignoring JJ even when he shows up to your trailer. One day he sees you in the yard with a guy your age, flirting with him like you do Jay and he flips out.

Anyways, you end up fucking him in his trailer and he���s calling you a lil slut but he knows you like his grown man dick more than any other asshole asking you on dates. Tears streaming down your face and he’s shoving your panties in ur mouth.

Safe to say your back to your routine of playing house in no time. The next morning your riding him after you made breakfast, and he’s all relaxed watching the news.

I NEED HIM

hes so shades of cool coded....so guns and roses coded even...

because you're tired of crying over him every night, he keeps dangling the age gap over your head, calling you immature and clingy despite telling you he loves you and he's gonna make you his girl so you deadass just stop coming around. he thinks youre bluffing at first because you always are until 2 days turns into a week which turns into 2 weeks and he realizes you may be serious, because word gets around very fast that you're dating some dude you knew in high school and that mean, petty streak rears its ugly head again.

he walks up to you like, it's been a long time since i had you in my bed sugar, i know you miss me." and you're trying to get him to leave, and the guy you're with is trying to buck up against him until jj starts recounting that time last week you left a voicemail on his phone--drunk and crying, begging him to come fuck you because your new dude just can't do it right so he leaves you standing there having a screaming match with jj who promptly drags you to his trailer and gives you the dicking of your life.

"don't know why you think you had to walk around actin like a slut to get my attention, you know you love your papa's dirty old man dick makin this pussy cum." and he's right because you're fuckin pitiful underneath him crying and begging him to let you cum as best as you can with your panties in your mouth.

yall are back "together" the next morning, you're making pancakes and coffee in one of his old shirts giving him kisses and he knows you ain't goin nowhere.

why tf do we live with people in this fandom, pretending that sokka being sexist and "overcoming it" is sokka's SOLE ARC on the show???

#sokka #have yall been watching the show like AT ALL??? #avatar the last airbender #(la) the last airbender #atla netflix #this is not an exageration i literally SAW people say that #like chill it lasts three episodes in the cartoon #the kyoshi episode on the LA will be episode 2 like what do yall expect #don't get me started on ppl who are like 'yeah but sokka is sexist even after the kyoshi episode' and then ur like ok where and when? #and they just don't respond 🤷‍♀️ #genuine question WHERE? WHEN? #like he even is the one telling aang and katara to break the nwt's sexist rules about bending soooo? #i'd like to ask these ppl what they think of the show erasing zuko's sexism? #because it's there too yknow *shrugs* is it A MAJOR PART OF HIS ARC as well?

incoming: another fucking voltron rant because i watched a langst edit and now i wanna cry😭😭

they did not take time. they did not slow that show down for a little bit. especially for lance. cause he did not getting a fucking moment to find himself again after he FUCKING DIED. we saw him homesick, we saw him missing his family, we saw him insecure about his position on the team, we saw him insecure about himself, but we never actually saw him go anywhere else but being sad. he really did get barely any character development.

and tbh i feel like in a way just all the characters didnt have a moment to slow down. and i know, i know, its a kids show, its about fucking robots for fucks sake, theyre in the middle of a war. which, yeah. youre right. but there couldve been so much more, for him, for all of them. what about them? as people, with feelings. where are there emotions. why is it only sadness and happiness and not the enitre confusing spectrum of emotion between. does pidge not feel lost after she finds her brother? yeah, hes back, but i bet she didnt imagine she would be fighting an intergalactic war, and now matt is too. she imagined family dinner, brother barging into her room, dad making corny jokes, house happier and full of life.

hunks family was put in a fucking work camp. he had seen this across the galaxy, zarkons army imprisoning people, making them work, killing them. did he imagine that for earth ? did he imagine that for his family? how the fuck did he cope fighting a war, anxious as he is? how did he cope at all?

shiro isnt even in his fucking original body. thats fucking weird. im not saying that in a rude way bc like yeah, organ transplants are a thing irl, and a major life saving thing they are ! but like, how odd it must be to have someone elses kidney or heart in your body. nevermind to have your entire soul and conciousness put into another body, you but not really you.

keiths life,,, dude probably just doesnt even give anything a second fucking thought anymore. but like, could they not have shown him showing some more emotion. fair enough if he doesnt always cry in the moment but rather late on, but you'd think seeing allura die, they wouldve at least put some tears in his eyes. he had fucking no one before he had voltron. only shiro, and even then he was alone for so long when shiro had been on his mission. you cant tell me he didnt want to think of voltron as his family. they bonded :(

and lance, gosh lance. i feel like, if we looks at this as it is, lance would be the character that people think back on and go "oh yeah, he helped me accept my emotions, he helped me become the best version of me and gain confidence in who i am". in the fandom hes seen as someone with big emotions that he wears on his sleeve, but also someone who will put everyone else and their needs before himself.

he's a story of self-sacrifice, quite literally. he's the story of sincere love, of casual admiration. he's the story of the most wonderful friend, of loyalty, of no, I'll step down because there's a cause bigger than me, and im not the one for the job when there's people like my friends and you on the team.

and no one wanted to explore that? no one wanted to see him do more than just, what? flirt and literally die and fall in love and barely find his place on team voltron? that was it for him. it shouldn't have been, but it was.

#just... im no professional qriter but like #there couldve been more humanity to it yknow #to all of their emotions but most importantly lance who was brushed off time and time again #he was destined for greatness #hes so much more than what he shows people but the people just cant be bothered to look past the mask #:( #vld lance #lance mcclain #voltron #vld #mullettaegi #long post #i may be talking no sense but yall will be seeing it cause i cant be keeping this shit in my brain itll eat me up #i care about this show far too much and am not gonna hide anymore it means so much to me :( #and theres so so much more that im forgetting bc its been a while since i watched the show #so alls i can say is lance deserved better he deserved more he couldve been such a character!! #but ik there is so much more to it and i have more to say about his death but i just dont have the words

question for you all

(the husband is NOT abed. important info)

(read the tags for my “abbreviated” thoughts If You So Desire)

#because like #obviously he’s gay like I think we all agree his character makes no sense unless you read him as gay #so him having a wife would likely completely counteract all that queer coding and just be. completely wrong for him #which would be difficult to watch tbh #BUT #if he has a husband it means the writers acknowledge his queerness but are ignoring what that means for his relationship with abed #like they’re just making him gay for representation points and giving him some throwaway husband character #voltron style #actually both of these options are kinda voltron style tbh #but one of them is referencing klance and one is referencing shiro or whatever his name is #I’ve never actually seen that show thank god that migjt be too much for me #ANYWAY I got very sidetracked #so yeah him having a husband would also be. ouchie. like what about abed. what about everything theyve been through #what abouuuut trust #jesus christ okay that’s enough tags #just curious abt yalls thoughts on this #community #nbc community #community nbc #abed nadir #troy barnes #trobed #troy and abed #community tv #six seasons and a movie #community movie

Okay but xie lian really do just being lying the whole series

#Tgcf #heaven official's blessing #Xie lian #When I first watched the series I was like wow! Himbo love that for him! #On rewatches it became more and more clear that he was just straight up lying! (And trying to have a soft meet cute) love that for him #Xie lian about anything ever: Oh! I just happened to be in the area I know nothing relevant ever #Cut to scenes where xie lian in fact did know everything relevant #I know he was actually scarp collecting/homeless/struggling but also #I fully believe he tripped his way into main character status everywhere he went #Every single town spent decades talking about that one guy who just showed up! Asked for scraps! Taught all the street kids martial arts #That lead directly to an uprising that he directly took part in and then how he picked the one moldy bun got sick and died forever #Like everyone that met him was just like ???? Yall will never believe this #His statue pops up in the capital and everyone who has ever met him ever just be like yah it makes more sense that he's a God #Jun wu frantically stopping all evidence that he has prayers and followers bc that RUINS his plans goddamn it xinela #Jun wu to Ling wen: Okay okay perfect everybody hates xie lian now with his distruction now tell him he has zero merits really rub it in #Ling wen: who has had to read sort and hide all the prayers he's been getting for 800 years .....yes sir

People hating on a literal child because she doesn’t physically look like a character in a book who we only ever saw in concept art and fanart vs me who was kinda sad when I realized book Percy wasn’t black because the description of a young boy living in New York who’s close with his single mother parent who is constantly seen as stupid troublemaker by both peers and teachers and his moms awful boyfriend and who’s only friend is the only other Outcast (non white) classmate who’s only ally is the literature teacher who then he finds also has doubts about him felt very if not fully black then at least mixed coded.

But then I moved on and enjoyed the story for what it gave me, can some of these people say the same 🤔

#I have not yet watched the show I’ll probably wait for more episodes bc I canceled D+ like two months ago #but idk many of yall are not 12 anymore and saying Leah won’t do a good job or it won’t be as good #we only saw any of these characters in our minds eye #or concept art #im not saying you can’t be disappointed when things aren’t 100% a match bc you want to see a good adaptation of the Book #and I need to do a reread but I would think Annabeth’s whole other shit aka running away cross country at 7 always being nosy and wanting #a quest being ready for battle but learning to have fun too #is more integral to her character ESPECIALLY IN MARK OF ATHENA #the blond hair in the books is a trait from Athena so it’s not a unique hurdle other girls in the cabin wouldn’t also face #it mattered bc she was a main character #But taking the core struggle of not being taken seriously works pretty damn well for any girl but especially black girls AT ALL TIMES #and not to be funny but saying the other characters are already diverse feels like a side step #like look Hazel in her eyes and say not being taken seriously BECAUSE of your HAIR COLOR is on the same level #as not being taken seriously because you’re a black girl #and if this breaches containment #yes the show would have been fine even if a picture perfect accurate cast had been hired #but if we want to move past people being cast bc of how they look vs how they act #you can’t hold the gospel of a book series against literal children who are probably having the time of their life #or would be if grown ass adults were attacking them bc SOMEONE ELSE HITED THEM #if the show is bad it’s not bc Annabeth is black or Percy is blonde #hell in good omens both leads are older in the book they’re described as looking 25 and 30 #can you imagine good omens as it is now with book accurate casting bc I can’t

act annoying on this post and ill block you ♡

everyone accusing black sails fans of Being Rude In The Notes owes me $10 for making me look in the notes (like. What. WHERE) and $10 more for subsequently making me witness the Stede fans also being unhinged petty assholes but it doesnt count when they do it, i guess?

at this point im saltier about Black Sails fans being repeatedly being called assholes but ofmd fans Not being called out for probably the same behavior or worse? and with what feels like very little. evidence? god damn

#toy txt post #pirate poll #if you reply to this post you are in danger of being blocked and ignored #note: after having looked in the notes at what yall are calling mean and cunty amd asshole behavior from flint stans #i would like to add a disclaimer that none of you literally owe me $10 its a silly fucking thing im saying online that means nothing #lest ppl decide to add exortion to the list of crimes we're accusing flint stans of out of ? little to no basis #ftr im a flint voter but i also like stede and ofmd bc im starved for gay pirate shows. these shows are holding hands. these #shows are having a conversation and all of your being dumb in the notes about either one of them owe me and the #poll runner $10 each. again. not a literal statement unless u like. really want to i guess? lmao #i have issue w all yall. those of u voting flint cos stede took a pardon and irl stede bonnet was a slaveowner #are voting for the correct choice for entirely wrong reasons #its not irl stede on the vote its ofmd stede. flint has said his crew has sold more slaves than theyve freed #and the pardon........ill get into that tomorrow #the ppl hating stede for abandoning mary are hilarious to me sorry. he abandoned her and then she was like. finally thriving #the ppl hating flint for being edgy.....specifically that person admitting they didnt even watch past the first episode... #im glad u are not in the fandom i dont think we'd get along lol #u think flints bad for being edgy........whew #to the person who hasnt seen either show but voted flint bc he seemed more chill: you are the funniest person on this earth and i love you #that man is the least chill a man has ever been #and only finally seems chill by comparison when its Silver's turn to go off the rails and then its like not even for very long #hes the least chill there is and hes valid #anyway. one fear: thousands of salty ofmd fans hatevoting flint into oblivion into the next round #if you do that or are planning to do that. i hate you and you are extremely annoying #god he really is vriska. god forbid gay pirate women do anything 🙄 #they h8te to see a 8ad 8itch winning

[batsarebetterthanpeople]

When all of your pirate mutuals succumb to the Gaimen angels derangement and you can't join in the fun because you just do not give a fuck about them 😔

#dont read the tags im being a hater if you like good omens keep scrolling im not trying to yuck your yum or whatever im just venting #its not just the christianity thing either they're literally so not compelling to me #like this is why i get offended when people compare them to Ed and Stede Ed and Stede aren't boring like that #Azeriphael and Crowley need to loosen up and commit murder or something #anyway Pepper was my favorite character in the first season i think she should be allowed to commit arson #if season 2 had been about her going to college and being annoying in sociology class and coming up with a plan to overthrow the government #i would have already watched season 2 #but its about that angel and that demon who queerbaited yall for 2 and a half decades? yawn #its like oh boo hoo you're on different sides you dont want to break the rules #theyre fuckin rules sickos Crowley way less so than Azeriphael but still #but i also like Crowley more than Azeriphael #I think Crowley would be a mediocre blorbo with a good aesthetic if his whole arc didn't revolve around an angel with religious trauma #Like the characters I enjoyed were Anathema and Pepper and Madame Tracy and Shadwell were funny if not necessarily compelling #Crowley was fine if he wasn't attached to Azeriphale but Azeriphale fell incredibly flat #he has no fucking teeth #no shade to the actor #like I wouldn't mind Azeriphale as a character if the narritive didn't constantly keep trying to get me to care about his internal conflict #because the internal conflict of not wanting to dissapoint sky daddy is not a vibe #all of that on top of my distaste for chritian aesthetics and it's just.... #it's not the show for me #anyway incredibly unsurprising to me that Zira asked Crowley to become an angel again he would be like that #yassss king try to change your boyfriend into what you want him to be. jfc I can't with his heavenly ass #I just can't care about that kind of a rules sicko the way I can't care about Izzy unless he's a problem to be overcome

Long rant about season 4, Johnny Lawrence, and the deterioration of the writing below so feel free to ignore this, but I just feel like I haven’t actually coherently expressed my main gripe with season 4 here.

In season 1 johnny is introduced and he’s racist, misogynistic, bullies kids based on their physical appearance, etc. etc. etc. And these are clearly his Bad Traits that are explicitly condemned by the narrative. When not portrayed as something that has explicit negative consequences (ie basically causing Hawk to go full incel), at the very least the story mocks and pokes fun at him for having such backwards ideals. And as the character grows through the story, so do his values. The show explicitly shows him moving past his racism in regards to Miguel, his sexism in regards to Aisha and then Tory. The story clearly articulates that these are all things Johnny learned from Kreese, and as he distances himself more from Kreese and his teachings, he learns and grows and leaves a lot of that ignorance behind.

And then season 4 comes along, and all of that just…goes away. And I don’t mean to say that Johnny necessarily regresses. But the way the narrative depicts him has completely changed. Johnny goes to Piper talking about how Karate can empower women, but it just turns into a joke about how he “learned feminism for this.” This is not meant to poke fun at Johnny, but to poke fun at feminism. The entire joke is as basic as “haha, of course Johnny’s not a feminist! Why would he be?” Later on, he makes a gendered statement to Sam and apologizes and corrects himself. But then the narrative literally undoes that by having Sam validate him! Tells him it’s fine, she understood what he meant and he didn’t need to change. Later this season we are even explicitly told that we should just accept Johnny as he is. Johnny’s ignorance has gone from being something explicitly condemned by the narrative to something they want us to love and accept him for.

And you know what? I don’t. Because Johnny Lawrence is not a real person. He’s a character in a story. I don’t have to accept the negative parts of him, because as an individual I don’t care about him at all. And that’s not to criticize him for being a flawed character, a flawed protagonist is fine—it’s great, actually! But when the show itself goes from criticizing those flaws to treating them as anything but, that’s where I take issue. Because I really don’t care about any of these characters as individuals. I care about the story that’s being told, a story I used to love about toxic masculinity and radicalization and cycles of abuse and how they all interplay with each other. A story that actually seemed like it was trying to say something important. But season 4 watered it all down so much to the point where I can’t even find a coherent central theme in the show anymore. At least not one the writers seem to have a solid stance on.

#so yeah theres a bunch of shit i didnt like season #but this is my main gripe bc it all ties back into this #the story has now decided it wants us to acfept johnny for who he is #and thats why characters felt so off and made decisions that seemed insane #because the central theme of the season may have been that johnny and daniel need to find a middle ground #but the actual narrative didnt even back up that perspective #whatever #this is why i wont watch season 5 #also you’re allowed to disagree w me obviously but this isnt smth i feel like debating bc these are just my thoughts and if you feel #differently thats fine but i dont care enough anymore to listen to other peoples perspectives on this #bc thats all ive been doing since s4 came out and ive really tried hard to see what some of yall are seeing #and i just dont see it #so lets agree to disagree and keep the commentary off this please #which is why im not tagging it as anything either #except #ck negativity #just to be safe #im just sick of getting messages everytime i post or rb smth critical of the show accusing me of hating johnny or daniel or robby or miguel #etc. etc. etc. #bc it literally isnt about that #I’m annoyed by all of those characters stroylines this season sure #but at the end of the day they’re characters. not people. i dont dislike the characters i dislike the writing #and how its all become so warped this season

[kitnapz]

i dont think any other show has had an impact on me as huge as awae. that show consumed my entire life for months and months when i was 15 and nothing has changed its so so dear to me

#ive been rewatching it for the past little bit and omg. #im remembering why i went insane when i heard that the show was canceled for s4. i literally follow amybeth on insta and i see ppl in her #comments begging all the time for season 4 and im not saying thats not annoying and inappropriate but GODDDD. SO TRUE SO TRUEEEEE. #we were ROBBED!!!!!!! #i remember the billboard they put up to try and renew the show and i think it was just an issue with the dude who played gilbert. which in #hindsight yeah that makes sense i remember feeling rly bad for him back in the day #but good lord awae season 4 would have been crazy. obviously i was extremely mentally ill at the time of s3's release so thats why i was so #obsessed HOWEVER watching it now its still deserving of my obsesion. so good #i keep editing these tags but awae was the hugest hyperfixation ive had in all my time of existing. like ive been rly into other sorts of #media ie demon slayer and homestuck but im telling yall for about 10 weeks (awae was releasing one episode per week when they aired s3) #there was not a waking moment where i wasnt thinking about that show. and every sunday i would go into the canadian website using a vpn and #watch that show after i was done with my hw. it was like church for crazy people (me) #ok final edit but i think i filter myself a lot on here in comparison to before cuz i used to overshare wayy too much on tumblr #but this is the realest ive been in a hot minute

[timeisacephalopod]

I've kinda seen some pushback to the idea of representation in media and I don't necessarily think it's bad to point out actual rights are more important than Disney's thousandth first gay character that's fine, but I've had a LOT of people comment on my works about asexual characters and tell me what I wrote changed their life-and it's always that phrase- because they now have the language to describe what they feel. I've had people who ARENT ace or aro comment that what I wrote finally made a concept they didn't understand make sense, or that the way I explained things was interesting and enlightening and I'm kind of a mediocre writer who hasn't written anything in ages.

Like idk, if reading something from a writer who is fucking around and only somewhat talented can genuinely impact someone because they've not seen anything like them reflected back at them in life or media I don't think pushing for representation in media is as "needless" as some people seem to think and caring about that doesn't mean you don't care about more "important" (although if you think seeing people like you in media ISNT important it's because you already have that representation or are privileged enough to not care if you do, in which case maybe pipe down) stuff. Hell, I even got a Facebook message ages ago from someone who found a comment I left in an ace group about QPR's and what they meant to me and how I perceived them and the person no joke said what I wrote two years before they even found it changed their life forever because they finally knew what kind of relationship they actually wanted.

So like sure, of course there's always bigger fish to fry them diversity in media (you know, like diversity in real life lol) but I don't think it's as frivolous as some people are beginning to act like it is. At least not if you're an aspec person it's not, I STILL don't see ace characters almost ever and I'll bet my whole everything if I asked a writer of a show why they'd tell me that EVERYONE has to be in a sexual relationship and characters that aren't won't sell and are boring- I say this because in film school I had a teacher TELL ME every character needed to basically be sex obsessed and when I pointed out a GREAT MANY CHARACTERS are not revolved around sex (Supernatural stars two brothers, I pointed out) and when she asked if I had love interests I was like ??? That doesn't matter- using my aforementioned supernatural example almost all their love interests die or get mind wiped because at the end of the day that's not what the story was about. So actually I think writers who act like that teacher need like 50 reality checks, and representation in stories isn't unimportant and also support indie writers you'll probably find more funky shit there then Disney anyway lmao.

And also even the asexual characters I DO see in media don't remind me at all of myself even if I appreciate the effort, but they never feel real or genuine and their sexuality doesn't get a lot of exploration so 🤷🏻‍♀️ I actually could use more media focused on characters that I can genuinely see my sexuality reflected in in a meaningful and narratively impactful way because I've got nothing.

#winters ramblings #todd from bojack horseman im sure is SOMEONES version of asexuality but i dont see ANYTHING of myself in him #great character dont get me wrong but not relatable to me on any level including our shared sexuality #sex ed got a bit closer with their brief ace character although maybe she got more exploration in season three or four?? #the latest one i havent watched lmao. but being closer and having a moment wjere shes told shes not broken #while DEEPLY vindicating isnt necessarily all im looking for either #like i wamt a REAL character thats ace or aro or both thats written by people who UNDERSTAND what theyre writting #not just well meaning people who dont know what theyre doing its kind of tiring #also idk why theres no dating shows with gay men because reality dating shows are ALL ABOUT who fucks who and who gets together #gay men would be hooking up ALL OVER THE PLACE and the DRAMA youd think reality tv freaks would be SALIVATING #but no none of that lmao. just ru pauls drag race and thats great it is like its not my bag but people love it #back on yrack though the weord blowback representation is getting is strange and its VERY clear to me #the people writing those posts havent gotten dozens on dozens of messages from people like them who found their writing #and haf their life altered forever for the better because someone who KNOWS what theyre talking about wrote a character like them #and it opened doors they never knew existed. doesnt even need to happen with fiction either i had a friend i had in toronto #tell me the info i sent to her on being aromantic changed her life- THAT'S the phrase i keep getting thats TELLING- because it describefld #described** how shes felt her whole life but didnt have words for. how frivolous IS representation if im getting these messages? #not very i dont think if some rsndom indie fic writer who hadnt written anything substantial in years can change someones life #REPEATEDLY might i add. ive been getting a LOT of messages like this lately and seeing this new bramd of discourse latetly too #like maybe YALL have enough that you dont care anymore but speak for your fucking selves

was tagged by @mooshkat (thank you friend!!) to list 8 tv shows for my followers to get to know me better!

for someone who repeatedly watches the same shows over and over and hyperfixates on certain fandoms, you’d think this would be easy for me but …. it’s not 😂

1. 9-1-1 2. 9-1-1: Lone Star 3. Young Royals 4. The Mentalist (Patrick Jane my beloved...) 5. Broad City 6. The Good Place 7. Black Mirror 8. Disjointed

I will always be re-watching at least one of these, if not multiple (right now, it's Broad City and 9-1-1 hehe)

anyway, since I just watch the same shows over and over again, I'm excited to see what everyone else watches! @wheelsupin-five (I tried tagging two-cut-lines at first lmao) @paqerings @lilbuddie @the-likesofus @shortsighted-owl @poughkeepsies @alyxmastershipper @leslieknopeinthepit

#I feel like this is a pretty good list to describe me tbh #i watched 911 three times last year #and lone star as a whole twice but season 3 three times lmao #i watch the mentalist every year it is my favorite #my dad owns the whole series on dvd because we (me and him and my sisters) watched it all together when I was in middle school #its very nostalgic for me and i love patrick jane so fucking much #black mirror will always be a favorite. gimme that spooky shit #also the good place ugggggh i have been meaning to re-watch that one again since i've only seen the last season once #but i want to finish broad city first #i have a really bad habit of watching most of a show and then not re-watching the last season ever #probably because i don't want them to end lmao #if i don't ever finish them then they never actually end right? #except for young royals because i would watch the final scene of s2 over and over again for every waking moment of the rest of my life #anywaaaay yall dont need me going off about my favorite shows lmaooo love yall #me #tag game #MOOSH thank you so much for the tag!! <3

ok sorry for grace ranting again but like. no really did infinity train fans and i watch the same season because literally so much shit ppl claim about her is not true

#like ‘’ugh shes never held accountable for her actions shes forgiven immediately ’’ NOT AT ALL??? #she watches the child she grew to love decide to abandon her because she enabled her friend to abuse her and she herself manipulated her #and alienated her and traumatized her and it is THE POINTTT that she was a bad person!! #the whole season is about her being forced to confront her lifestyle and behavior and grapple with the weight of her actions #and by god she CHOOSES to become a better person and shes not a karma houndini she watches her friend die for fucks sake #the show knows full well that she was bad and it never once tries to excuse her or handwave it and she comes to the conclusion that she has #to change on her own instead of being forced to #and dont get me started on the ppl who take glory in being like #‘’ugh shes awful because she told simon that bigger numbers were the goal! if it werent for her simon wouldve been fine!’’ #like wow. i sure hope u share that vitriol with amelia and one one. bc theyre at fault for that in the big picture #like. grace did NOT have any guidance at all and she was a terrified child with an already screwed up home life #and seei my amelias robot was her ONLY clue. ffs she did not cackle and go ‘’ah yes i must be EVIL to win- #and i will TELL this RANDOM KID to raise his number because i KNOW im wrong mwahaha’’ #like yes she absolutely bears responsibility because she did give him the idea and she did enable him so shes not blameless #but its not solely on her. they were all failed by the adults around them and thats the point. the train system is horrifying #echoed voice #anyways. yall beg for complex female characters and then bitch when you get them
