Dodgerfox - Tumblr Posts

While I was binging the Artful Dodger a couple of days ago, I kept getting the feeling that dodgerfox really gave me msr vibes but I couldn't figure out why (minus the absolute feral behavior exhibited by both ships, of course). My brain kept circling the medical aspect of both ships, but I just couldn't figure it out

Until it hit me

He was her doctor, while she was his doctor

And

She was dying and miraculously saved and she was also dying and miraculously saved

There's probably more that I'm missing

my hot take is that i actually believe this is true. not necessarily in the sense that jack loves her less -- he's obviously unhinged about it -- but in the sense that belle just has so much more access to love than he does. she can admit her own feelings to herself, she can say what she wants much more easily than he can. and this certainly comes in part from her bravery and emotional vulnerability, but like so many other things, it also comes from her privilege -- the privilege of having been loved without ever having been abandoned. even in the power of their love, they are unequal, even in this she benefits. their honest, true, and mutual love saves her life; it ruins his. nothing about them can ever be neutral.

this has been my world recently i am not normal about them

just made these. pls enjoy i'm dying
