MAJOR POKMON SCARLET/VIOLET SPOILERS But Man Oh Man Do These Games Have Me Thinking!

MAJOR POKÉMON SCARLET/VIOLET SPOILERS but man oh man do these games have me thinking!

I’ve seen people bring up the photo of young Arven and Maschiff found in the lab as proof that Sada/Turo really did love him and then seen people subsequently arguing about whether they truly did or not and honestly. I think it’s pretty apparent the professors DID love him. Even the AI is happy and proud upon seeing him again. But like the thing is.

That isn’t enough.

Way too often abusive/bad parents in media are just depicted as callous users who only have a child for their own reasons/gain and don’t actually care. And while that is possible and is the case in a lot of situations of abuse. There’s this idea that if you really love someone you can’t ever truly hurt them and abusers just can’t possibly love their victims if they do what they do that’s rlly unhealthy. Bc a lot of abusers truly DO love their victims but because they’re abusive or neglectful their expression of it is still damaging.

But the SV professors are a shining example of parents who really DO love their son. But that doesn’t make them good parents. They still prioritize work over Arven. They still make him take care of their possibly dangerous otherworldly Pokémon singlehandedly. They still leave him to live alone in that tiny room with only a Mabosstiff to keep him company.

Because all the love in the world can’t fix the fact that they’re selfish. Selfish enough to put INSANE security measurements on their time machines to ensure nothing can stop them. Security measures that override the AI’s developed consciousness and consciences to make them attack a bunch of kids. Including the son in question that they love so much.

And in the end the AIs DO make a sacrifice to save Arven… but it’s still selfish. It’s still fulfilling their selfish desire to time travel, abandoning him forever. All the love in the world couldn’t change the fact that at their core the professors are just too selfish to be healthy parents.

@aquaquadrant was talking about tango flustering the hell out of Jimmy while asking him to help out and I added the “AND THEN HE PUTS THE BUCKET ON HIS HEAD AND WALKS AWAY” bit

Recently got into Criminal Minds and I love this sooo much. I relate to it a bit too much 😅

Out of Time // Part 2

Summary: Once you had realized that you didn’t really belong with the BAU Team, you’d asked for a transfer. Now you find out that it all might have been a huge misconception and how are you supposed to deal with that?!

Pairing: BAU!Team x reader (platonic)

Warnings: feeling left out, feeling unneeded, being excluded, self worth issues

Part 1

—

It had been three weeks since you’d asked for a transfer. Hotch had been surprised to say the least. He’d immediately taken the time to implore for your reasons, asked whether there was anything he or the team could do, if you needed some time off or if something had happened. He’d been so earnest in wanting to make sure that you’re alright and so surprised by your decision that you just couldn’t bring yourself to tell him the true reason. So, you’d lied and told him that you felt like you couldn’t cope with the job and the daily tragedies and horrors anymore. He’d tried to find another solution for you to deal with your troubles and stay. It had felt nice to feel important enough to be still wanted on the team. For a split second you’d thought about taking the offer. But your thoughts drifted back to all the times you weren’t included, needed, or wanted. One effort, one time of feeling needed and wanted didn’t make up for all the other times, for a year of feeling like the exact opposite. And who was to say that it would stay that way. So you had insisted on feeling like this job wasn’t for you anymore. Hotch had reluctantly agreed, not wanting to keep you back from anything else that you felt you needed or wanted to do. You’d asked him to not say anything to the team just yet, feeling like you needed to tell them yourself.

You’d told Rossi first, since he and Hotch were the two people involved in finding your replacement. He’d been just as surprised as Hotch had been. You’d talked for a bit but gave him the same reasons you’d given Hotch as well. Rossi had expressed his sadness about seeing you leave but had accepted it. He’d told you that he could understand the feeling and that, as long as you felt you were doing what was best for you, he’d support you. There was also a promise of Spaghetti a la Rossi for lunch at the office before you’d leave.

Afterwards you informed Emily. She listened as stoically as she always did and simply nodded in acceptance. The following days she came over to your desk for short coffee breaks a lot more though, and you did recognise her attempts to make sure that you were alright. And if she sometimes looked a little sad when she was reminded that you’d leave soon, neither of you mentioned it.
