owen: *internal monologue while cuddling louis* he's beautiful, perfect, so kind, an angel, too good for this world, i'm honoured to have even a scrap of his affection, i love him so much

louis: how do i tell him that my leg fell asleep 20 minutes ago and i need to stand up to walk around because the pins and needles are starting to hurt. i can't tell him that i dont want to make him sad *doesn't say anything for another three hours*

that is an awkward man who is VERY unused to affection okay. he can play the good social game but when genuine emotions come into play he is a MESS

please.............. . I need him.........

Like, genuinely considering the options from least to most violent we have:

Runaway from Oakhurst

Reveal yourself to the towns people most of whom are under the impression that they just executed a man in your name*, you're cured now and they might accept you, but all that was good in your life has just been burnt away

Jump into the pyre and die, till death do us part my ass, death will not part us actually (this one would have actually been a good ending since Owen wouldn't have been sent to hell and they could be together forever)

Kill just the people you know are responsible for the execution. This will have consequences, and you will likely be killed for sparing the rest of the town, either that or become a vampire overlord, this will have different consequences if Scott ever wakes up

Kill everyone one town and bury yourself under the earth with your love, pass 200 years as the earth reclaims his body and you are left alone, haunt these lands and vow to kill anyone who sets foot within the town (we saw how that went)

The point I'm making here is that sure he's a monster but there was also no good ending to his story, his life sucked, sucked some more, there was on silver lining, one ray of sunshine in the middle of winter that got ripped and it wne tback to sucking even more

My wife pointed out to me the other day that apparently most people were literally only taught how to say Sorry and not how to Apologize or even that they are different things so here.

I see Owain as both autistic and aroace. The Owain vs yuri bit is iconic and I think it would be fun to expand it beyond Owain doesn’t understand yuri.

If you have seen my relationship chart for the KotRT you’ll know that I view them as being extremely tight knit. They are a brotherhood with many famillial ties. Relationships are bound to get messy and blurry. Before I wanna touch on the yuri, I would like to talk about Nom, Katie and 4c. Owain finds out Katie and Nom are siblings pretty early on in canon. 4c and Nom view eachother as brothers. Katie and Rc are also extremly close and may also view eachother as siblings, but I’m not as well versed in those two. But yeah, Owain figures out these relationships and his adopted self, who doesn’t percieve a difference between blood family and adopted/chosen/found family, pointly catogorizes those three as siblings.

Can you imagine him refering to 4c as Nom and Katies brother in front of others pre Nom and 4c falling out. Owain is known for taking things litteraly and suddenly we have Nom loudly trying to explain to Owain how 4c isn’t his brother. And Owain just goes “oh, did something happend”, because in his mind for Nom no longer to view 4c as his brother something terrible most have happend. And now both Nom and Owain are confused. Nom explains that 4c is like a brother to him, but not his actual brother. Which only serves to confuse Owain further. So he’s your brother, but not your brother. If it were just to be the two of them, I don’t think they would come to an understanding of eachother. But if others like Graecie, who is smart about people, were to be there, they might figure out what Owain means. Might because when it comes to himself Owain has got the emotional intellect of a rock.

Now back to the yuri. I see Owain as being on the absolute no romantic attraction at all part of the spectrum. He knows it exists. Kind of. But has no idea what it is. I like to think that “I love you” is not a sentance with romantoc conotations to Owain, but rather just an expression pf general closeness. All of this is because of the KotRT and the pretty tightknit brotherhood. Kay and Bedivere may be married and may have tried to explain romantic love. But I am aromantic and I don’t understand wtf it is, so neither does he. Also I haven’t decided how I wanna do the Arthur, Guinevere and Lancelot situation, but I am between consenual polyamory, open relationship or A & G only staying married on paper now that Arthur has “an heir”

All of this to say. Owain won’t assume someone is in a relationship, unless they directly tell him. Otherwise it doesn’t occur to him that that might be the case. Especially with Shan being Owains best friend, he would assume she would tell him that if it were to happend. He is not as close with Eloise, so he does not have the same presumptions with her, which is why he asks Shan about them, when he hears the. talk about their relationship

is stressful enough without

them being part wolf.

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

How?
