Low Key I Think She Shouldnt Have Ended Up With Any Of Her Love Interests. Bitch Deserved To Travel And

Low key I think she shouldn’t have ended up with any of her love interests. Bitch deserved to travel and live her life without a man for a while.

So sorry I'm late but Alina should've fucked the Darkling. It's actually insane she ends up with Mal.

When you are allergic to wool what do you do? Just not wear sweaters.

To be fair I’m allergic to most clothes so I may be biased.

the genius of megamind (beyond the obvious genius ofc) is that it's superman parody actually presents a genuinely unsettling depiction of the "hero" that I like wayyy better than "what if superman was evil" or "what if superman was wrong"... it's "what if superman didn't care"

I want to say no but realistically I can’t. I have so much weird trauma with sexuality, I turned down a promotion at the retirement home I work at because it raised the risks of me walking in on people. I struggle with my own sexuality enough, just the thought of witnessing someone else with no warning without my consent makes my legs go numb, my heart speed up, and a little nausea.

This is so important. I always see either “this is why they are perfect” or “this is why he is to toxic and she deserves better” this is the armor. This is what Inej said to take off to be with her. This is why they work, in the beginning he pushed her away using her trauma to keep her from his.

This is the before of character development.

Okay, I thought this was old news, but apparently people still think Kaz calling Inej an investment was cute and romantic. My friends, this is not a safe, sane, or consensual way of thinking!

Kaz Brekker, my guy… I love him, but in this moment, he’s not at a point in his character arc where he is willing to except his own feelings beyond begrudgingly platonic. Even later on the Ferolind, he describes the voice in his head that goes You, Inej. You. as unwelcome.

“But he’s Kerch!! Good investments are important and valued to the Kerch!!”

The merchers value good investments, I’m sure. But those are the people Kaz Brekker mocks, sneers at, and looks down upon.

And he’s smart. He knows exactly what to say to push people away, to rile them up, to create distance because distance is safe. Inej had been taken and sold and sold and sold and sold, and she just shortened his carefully maintained distance with the words You came back for me (love that foreshadowing btw). So he pushes back, he reinforces his armor, he knows what being reduced to monetary value means to Inej. He knows that she had been Heleen’s investment and that the result of that was deeply scarring.

Tldr; once again reducing a former sex slave to a monetary value isn’t sweet. It was meant to push her away and we shouldn’t advocate for such behaviors just because they’re coming from a pretty white boy.

Tagging @ilov3b00kss0much as per request and @daughter-of-skylark just because
