The Quote You Could Be Happy Here. I Could Take Care Of You. I Wouldnt Let Anybody Hurt You. We Could

the quote “you could be happy here. I could take care of you. I wouldn’t let anybody hurt you. We could grow up together,” is said by Elliot to E.T. and it’s so mileven season one coded that I could cry.

mike/el + getting interrupted at crucial moments

I love Will and Mike’s dynamic but I kinda wish that they won’t be in the same storyline together again in s5 because (some) people in this fandom make literally every thing about them. Like…I just saw a tweet of El almost dying in vol2 and people were like “omg the light behind Mike and Will are yellow and blue that means they’re gonna end up together 🤩🤩 also the way they look at each other 🥰🥰”

my brother in christ El is suffocating right in front of them

grog: should we visit the ex?

(*the party: just walked for hours through a seemly endless field, unknowingly used a god as a baseball, stole a stupid hat from the high warden, lost precious time exploring an empty cavern, didn’t ignore ominous music that got them enchanted by a deadly trap, almost got eaten by werewolves, almost got killed by pixies, almost got discovered by a hag, just killed a powerful entity in a tremendous battle*)

the rest of vox machina in unison: NO.

No for fuck sake she doesn’t need time to herself to figure herself out. No one at the age of 14 fully knows who they are. They’re teenagers.

She had PLENTY OF TIME ALONE to, as you say, “figure herself out”.

She had THREE HUNDRED FIFTY THREE DAYS ALONE to “figure herself out” (Oh also the whole Kali storyline was about figuring herself out, and! She! Was! Alone!) She literally recognized her abuser for who he was and SHE CALLED HIM OUT leaving him to die without the satisfaction of hearing ANY words of comfort from her. (AND SHE DID THIS ALL ALONE!!! BY HERSELF!!! WITHOUT THE HELP OF ANYONE!!!)

she KNOWS she’s not the monster. Stop treating her like she has the brain of a five years old.

She dumped Mike in s3 because he was lying to her, and yes it was with the help of Max that she dumped him, but it was her choice to dump him! In s4 it was HER choice to argue because she thought that Mike didn’t love her! When in s3 she’s sad without him, she’s sad not because she doesn’t know who she is without him, BUT BECAUSE SHE LOVES HIM AND DOESN’T WANT TO BE WITHOUT HIM. (AND SHE SAYS SO TO HIM AT THE END OF THE SEASON). If you think that she doesn’t know what love is, and how to give and receive it, then, as I said, you’re ableist, as simple as that.

Also if she “latched herself on anyone that treats her like a human being” then why does this apply to Elmax? Dustin, Lucas, (from the end of s1) Max and Will always treated her like a human being. Does their love for her mean nothing? Can’t she love them back because she really loves them and not because in your twisted mind she has no idea of who she is and her love for them is invalid?

Sorry if I’m coming off pissed off, but the idea that traumatized people can’t receive/give love BEFORE THEY’VE HEALED fucking angers me because traumatized/ND people deserve to be loved and to be in love just like anyone else.

If you say that El can’t recive or give romantic love because of what happened to her I’m just gonna right out say it: you’re ableist

First of all, Eleven is the only person in the show that has a storyline that regards her independence. I’m tired of people saying that she needs to figure out who she is, when she already knew who she is in s2

I apologize that I assumed it was connected to byler because I read this take over and over again on twitter and it was bylers so I had war flashbacks reading your dn

(Oh and Mike trusted her way before he knew she could find Will, he let her sleep at his house 3 seconds into meeting her)

Two: “it’s a tv show” yes and Eleven isn’t real but abused/nd people are and they see how people talk about them “You talk like I killed your grandmother” has it even crossed your mind that I’m fucking tired of how we are treated in real life and then seeing people say disgusting shit 24/7 online about serious stuff like ableism might trigger me lol

the first post in question was pretty self explanatory and if you didn’t mean it in a “El can’t receive/give romantic love” then why did you feel the urge to respond if I wasn’t talking about people that think like you…

If you say that El can’t recive or give romantic love because of what happened to her I’m just gonna right out say it: you’re ableist
