the thing about neil and jean is that i very much feel like their relationship is mirrored in andrew & aaron's relationship. the 'misplaced forever partner' vs. 'the brother who was given away.'
the way neil was abused but he was KEPT, he had a mother who gave her life to fight for him vs. jean who was sold and forgotten and abandoned, stripped of his own name and his language, who had to survive riko and the master and the complicated dynamics of being perfect court but also property, who had to navigate the nest and all its horrors and hierarchy completely alone.
aaron who was abused, who was beaten and strung along and neglected, but who his mother came back for vs. andrew who was left behind, who never had a last name, who said 'please' so much at seven he can't stand the sound of the word at 21, who was willing to carve pieces from himself for the promise of a scrap of family.
andrew and aaron made a deal and hated each other for it. jean and neil were each others partners - your failure is my failure, your success is my success. andrew, who killed aaron's mother when he found out she was beating him, to hold up his end of the deal. jean, who held neil down to be carved, but who patched him up again after.
aaron, who killed his brother's rapist. and neil who did the same
Just yes
Same vibe

THE DRAGON PRINCE SEASON 7 | HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON
Im finally watching Invincible's third season, and let me tell yall, Mark would have such an easier time if the people he wants to protect stopped getting into the fights as he is trying to protect them
LIKE, DUDE, IF MARK CANT FIGHT SOMEONE FROM VILTRUM, YOU ALSO CANT
And then Mark is made to have to protect himself(not particularly succeeding at that) and, now, another dumb fucker who had the bright idea to help and just became on the brink of death weight
Big examples of this are Atom Eve trying to help in the fight against the alternate dimensions invicibles and Oliver trying to tackle that dude from Viltrum right after
Like, guys, YOU ARE NOT HELPING
(Also, Im obviously not refering to Atom Eve in that last fight, she absolutely rocked that, girl rebuilt her body and even before, she actually helped a lot)
Boss is asleep, cannot stop me from frogposting
Sei lá, tô obssecada com aftg, ent esse vai ser meu primeiro reblog
(Arte LINDA por sinal)
exy, trauma, repeat.
"we need more unconventional relationships in media!"
you guys can't even handle andreil not saying "i love you"
TW: Pedophilia
Teenagers are rarely taught the reason why they can't consent to sex with adults.
And that's because teaching them that would completely unravel our coercion-based society.
It can be difficult to explain in detail the exact reason and all the specifics in a way that they will understand. But the simplest way to phrase it is that in some cases, even when someone agrees to something and even when they appear enthusiastic about it, there's too much of a power imbalance that it's no different than forcing them. Also, having power and being abusive doesn't require a conscious expectation to be obeyed.
Imagine a world in which every teenager understood that and was easily able to call out anyone who tried to convince them otherwise.
They'd know that there's no such thing as an employee consenting to working for a poverty wage, working in unsafe conditions, working long hours, or working without taking breaks. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to paying a bank overdraft fee. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to student loan debt. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to medical bills. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to generating profit for banks or landlords in order to have a place to live and being evicted or foreclosed when you lose your source of income. They'd know that there's no such thing as consenting to a police search. They'd know that there's no such thing as a child who's okay with their parents spanking them. They'd know that being dependent on someone does not mean that you can never criticize them. They'd know that if it's considered abusive to simply play along when someone obeys, then it has to be much more abusive to actively expect to be obeyed, which many adults do to them.
And people who benefit from a society based on coercion masquerading as freedom wouldn't like that.
So instead, teenagers are taught something dismissive. They're taught that what they want doesn't matter. They're taught that they're too young to know what love is. They're taught "it's the law". They're taught things that are insulting to their intelligence, which they'll naturally rebel against.
MY GOD! YOU JUST TRANSLATED INTO WORDS WHAT I FEEL EVERYTIME SOMEONE ASKS ME WHAT I WANT!!
Like, I dont want to make another person not eat something the REALLY want bc of something I mildly want
I hate when people ask me about my preference but I don’t understand their preference level. Like yes I kinda want Chinese food 10% more than I want a sandwich but if you want a sandwich like 40% more than Chinese food then I would say it’s totally reasonable we get sandwiches.
We thought the new triollogy was gonna be abt Jeremy helping Jean heal
Turns out that Nora knows no limits for pain, so they are actually helping each other
I cant 😭
Emo about Jeremy again. Wdym he still misses Leo and he keeps hoping his mother will show him warmth and sympathy, and he tracked all his father’s calls in a notebook, and hated the first time cat told him I love you because it wasn’t fair to come from her first when he’d been waiting so long. Wdym he still tries to connect with his sister and willed himself not to dream so he wouldn’t dream of Jean’s “I will choose you everytime ” out of context and lets all these men use him because at least if he’s being used he’s being thought of at all
Neil has a talent for making Andrew having to admit exactly what he is trying to avoid
"that doesn't mean i wouldn't blow you" is an iconic confession for a lot of reasons but i love that andrew obviously picked his wording so so carefully there to avoid admitting any feelings involved and then neil's demisexual ass just totally bypasses that and he responds saying "you like me." WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT ANDREW WAS TRYING TO AVOID ADMITTING.
