There Is A Lot And I'm Still Processing It All And The Consequences Of What It All Means Especially The

there is a lot and I'm still processing it all and the consequences of what it all means especially the content of jonahs statement like how much he knows/doesn't know about the fears

so who else is screaming about everything we learned today

recently rewatched a few x men movies and it was physically painful

not because of the effects or the characters but because listening to the way the they talk about mutants and the 'mutant issue' is soo similar to how people talk about trans stuff

like painfully similar and as a trans person I felt it so hard

daisy calling people freaks is a whole genre of entertainment

literally could be any situation and she's calling someone a freak its so funny I love that for her

tma is a fandom with the most beautiful ship names known to man like lonely eyes is gorgeous and foggy skies mwah stunning

and then there's the main ship the actual cannon ship featuring the protagonist and its fucking jmart

it sounds like a shop but like a whole ass chain of shops it's so stupid I love it sm

I think it's like they're both reacting to the idea that ignorance doesn't keep you safe in this world as pointed out by multiple people in tma

but Alice's reaction is don't get involved in the world of horrors to begin with and Sam's reaction is to not be so ignorant

I've seen a lot of takes about Sam and Alice's relationship recently and I really don't think it's as black and white as people make it. Being team Sam or team Alice feels like simplify the situation too much.

They're Exs. Ex long term partners at that. This wasn't a few months fling it was years. It was complicated enough that Sam stuck around when Alice's parents died but then drifted away when he could. Alice got him the job after a sad vague post not after an actual conversation.

They clearly want different things. Sam wants a friend but also clearly wants there to be clear boundaries between them (not talking about each others love lives) and not to forget the past. Alice wants her best friend back. She wants to ignore the bad bits from the past and be as close as they used to be. They're both clearly lonely but you really feel it with the way Alice is was Sam.

Alice is a protective person. You see it with her brother and even Gwen honestly. She's also awful at showing it. Don't get me wrong, she shows some really controlling behaviour but it never seems to be done out of malice or even done in a self-serving way (some exceptions). This was clearly a reason for their breakup.

Sam clearly feels like he needs to prove himself. He also wants to know what's going on. When Alice tries to stop him he's clearly remembering something she's done in the past. He clearly doesn't want to be babied by his ex. So, as a result, he's seeing everything she's doing to stop him looking into cases as a way to control him. Even when (most clearly in the latest episode) she's just trying to stop him walking into danger.

The issue is neither of them are listening to each other. They both think they're right and the other just doesn't understand. Instead of talking to each other, Sam's just shouting at Alice and Alice is trying any round about way she can to stop Sam.

Anyway. This post is a mess I just think they're both super interesting.

Alice Dyer would listen to cheap dirty horse (the band) and no one can convince me otherwise

she has definitely seen them live and she definitely steals things from the OIAR while listening to on the rob
