i love this character so much bro. now show me how they’d look shaking and sobbing on the floor after their entire worldview and sense of self and worth has been shattered, all alone with no one in the world who cares enough about them to even politely ask if they’re okay

wait but if i have a self-destructive relationship with guilt and responsibility and you have a self-destructive relationship with guilt and responsibility then who's sacrificing themself to ensure that this plane stays flying long enough to have a chance of landing safely

oh. we. we made it. we're still alive. both of us. wow. yeah, no, it's fine i just... wow. i did NOT see that one coming! did you... no no no this is great!!!!!!!!! it's perfect, actually. couldn't be better. well, what now, huh?! i don't suppose you made any plans for what to do afterwards if you... no? no, of course not. well, that's fine. everything's fine. isn't this great? aren't you happy? i'm SO happy. there's no one alive happier than i am! because i'm still alive. yep. that's right! still here. still right here. hey, isn't that funny? after all that, it just... worked out in the end. almost as if nothing ever happened at all! isn't that just crazy? doesn't it make you feel crazy? i don't even know what to do with myself now. i don't know what to do. i don't know what to do. i don't

having ocs is like she's my daughter. she's my power fantasy. i'm giving her everything i hate about my personality. she's a war criminal. she's never done anything wrong in her life ever. i love her. i hate her. i'm making her life miserable. who did this to her. she's unlikeable but everyone should like her. she's baby. she does cocaine in the bathroom

to be honest i think there’s a large number of people who conflate the very real and widespread phenomenon that women tend to be written off as just mothers or love interests in order to diminish their importance in a given story with the fact that a huge reason they’re sent to narrative purgatory in this way is BECAUSE the labels of “mother” and “girlfriend/wife” are systematically devalued and seen as inherently inferior because they’re terms that have been associated with ownership and/or control over women. like the amount of people who’ve told me that a certain female character is uninteresting or badly written because she happened to have a kid or be a man’s girlfriend or sister just to find out she was actually fleshed out very well and carried significant narrative importance frustrates me soo bad. there’s a huge problem with how those roles (specifically “wife” and “mother”) are systematically devalued and yet also perpetuated as the only viable options for women to achieve their societal roles in the patriarchy but acknowledging the devaluation of those labels to begin with is an important discussion in itself.

when everything feels like the movies you bleed just to know youre alive. or so ive heard.
