#otp: split the lark

[howtoreadacalendar]

I see so many people taking Emily's side in this whole thing but uh....Sue has been explicitly clear all season that she needs more than just Emily's poems. And Emily is surprised every time she says it

Disclaimer: this is a no discourse zone (!) and by that I mean the discourse is a dot to me; I don't see it, I don't know it.

Me any time someone references things other people think/feel about my current hyperfixation:

But!!! Emily!!!!

Sweet angel, you have the hot palpable pulse of the heart of Sue in your hands!! She's putting it all on the table for you!! Austin who???? Send him to war!! Tangle yourself in the orchard and BE DONE WITH IT.

Joking aside, I think this is the core of their drama this season:

Sue has unabashedly shown Emily she loves her. Not just verbally, but in every action. Every interaction. Even in conversations that don't necessitate any mention of Emily or the relationship between the two of them. Sue just gravitates back to Emily (see: Sue thinking Mr Dickinson was referring to her very obvious lesbian nuclear family with Emily). To Sue, Emily is the sun.

Whereas, despite Emily's 'I can't...without you' speech, her actions have demonstrated otherwise. To Emily, Sue is the moon. (Swear not by the moon! Which waxes and wanes.) I'm interested in 'I can't' being Emily's anaphora this season. I imagine it is leading us to an 'I can' and I am READY FOR THAT.

But she's needed to reckon with this statement from Sue. What is wrong with this love? Emily is smart. So there must be a part of her that sees this world built so opposite to a world in which she and Sue can be in love and think, is this wrong? No one is safe from that. And Sue is forcing her with this question to turn her eye inward. Emily, who spends her time looking out, looking on from her window, looking at her family, looking for ways to help and find hope, and reaching and reaching and reaching.

I'm hoping that the next step for her is finding her way home to herself and to Sue and to love.

for the blog asks 3, 5, 10, 11, and 12. and just for you I'll throw in 2 so you have an excuse to talk about the boy (not that you need one but have one anyway)

3. What was the purpose of this blog when you created it?Haha, approximately 87 years ago (okay, more like 7 or so), this started life as “icandrawamoth,” an rp blog for Combeferre from Les Miserables. All that stuff is still there if you go back far enough in the archive.

5. Do people you know outside of tumblr know about this blog?People know I have a Tumblr, but they do not know what it is. I will protect the secrecy of this blog with my life. I had an rl friend ask for it pretty insistantly, and I said no. This is my place where I can just be me and not have to worry about anybody judging me.

10. Do you follow any tags?Yep! Several of them are fairly inactive and tend to show my posts more often than anything, but the ones I’m currenly following are: Alphabet Squadron, cinemagraph, fairytaleedit, Forces of Destiny & Star Wars Forces of Destiny, Mami Tomoe, Matt Rosell, mythologyedit, Rose Tico, Sleep No More, Tycho Celchu, Wedge Antilles, and Wyl Lark.

11. Do you check recommended posts?I do fairly reguarly, and I’m still waiting for the fact that they’re swimming in Good Omens to fade away. That’s going to happen, right? I have no idea how the algorithms work.

12. Do you check the trending tags?Also regularly. It’s one way I get news. There’s always the split second terror of “is this celebrity trending because it’s their birthday or because they died?” or the mystery of what a certain fandom is trending.

2. What is your profile picture and why did you choose to use it?It was still Tycho when you asked me this, and yep, the boy, because I love him! Now it’s the OTP finally, which I’m happy with, but it’s still weird and a thing I’m getting used to.
