even the iron still fears the rot

A detail I absolutely love is how on Yáo and Ilyukhina's personal item bags, their names are embroidered onto patches, but on Grace's it's just a piece of paper with his name written on it. They literally tell the audience from the very start

people don’t enjoy shipping anymore. the point of shipping isn’t the catharsis of watching them kiss onscreen, it’s grabbing the characters and mashing their faces together like you’re five years old playing Barbie in your room again. it’s to take one moment of eye contact in canon and read that over and over and over again with twenty different writers’ interpretations of the characters internal monologues if they were in love. it’s to see the characters interact and cheer because you know that’s another moment to add to your list of canon compliant fic ideas. you’re stressing yourself out, this is supposed to be fun!

let’s all make the really uncomfortable decision of being brutally present in our bodiesssss 😍😍😍😍
