‘i love you’ is what they say to me.. but really they love my ketamine.” - princess ketamine by ethel cain.

dean! knows theres something soft underneath the hollow mask you show everybody else, the one you wear to fit in. he’s watched you enough to tell- not like the other guys who whistle and mutter “i’d love some of that ass” when you walk away. he’s studied you, learnt the patterns- the cover- ups.

dean! who knows the whole town wants a piece of you—not because they know you but because they know what you carry hidden beneath white lace and bruised skin. your everyone’s miracle until your pockets run empty. everyone’s princess until the party’s over.

dean! who finds you in the backseat of the Impala outside a bar with glossy eyes- clearly your high. the neon sign flickers red over the windshield while your head is tipped against the window, lipstick smeared from kissing the screen of your flip phone while another voicemail promises ‘i love you’ from some guy whose name you won’t remember tomorrow.

when someone slides too close to you at the party murmuring about a guy who knows a guy with “the good stuff”, dean is already there pulling you behind him before you can answer. his jaw is tight, knuckles white around the keys to the Impala. “they don’t love you.” he mutters as he ushers you into the passenger seat.

you know i gotchu anon

Oh yeah

Uh- leon got his wings chopped off.

He gasps sharply, thrashing his tail and doubling over as his wings light ablaze. No, actually, been there and done that. This is worse. He can't breathe-

"Nnnghh-!"

He whimpers and cries out through his gritted teeth, tears flowing down his cheeks. It hurts, it hurts so bad. What happened? His ears are ringing. He can't focus.

Anon? Something about Leo- Leo's wings. What did they do to his twin?? It hurts to move, it hurts to breathe- His vision is mottled with black. Ow pain pain pain help-

[As Donnie makes pained, strained noises and doubles over, red begins to soak through the bandages around his wings and shell]

he just looked so handsome!! (blushing and batting my eyes)

Hey anon! Also hyped for Fran’s season with michaela!!! we won with the michaela genderbend, and i genuinely love the neurodivergent femme sapphic rep with francesca. I am so excited for the absolute YEARNING we are going to get in their season.

Here’s my explanation for my interpretation of eloise’s storyline. I am also totally fine with further discussing the nuances in replies, definitely not one of the fans who will threaten people over a different interpretation or having a ship i dislike (hence why although i am critical of philoise and do not want it in the show, i don’t fully tag my posts as anti philoise). My issue is with the writing itself.

Will say I’m totally fine with readings of eloise as bi. To me, the theo plotline read as a “this is the first non related man i can stand being around so I MUST have a crush on him” form of comphet, although i admit it could be me projecting. Some of my mutuals are also theo x eloise shippers and i fully respect that. Also I love seeing acespec headcanons for her too.

What I am saying is homophobic about eloise’s storyline is that it feeds into homophobic rhetoric regardless of her actual in text sexual orientation because of the aspects of her characterization that feel queercoded.

I’m specifically referring to a lot of the “you just need to find the right man/a husband” stuff constantly thrown at eloise, this season in particular, even after she has had so many meaningful moments on screen where she discusses feeling different from society and that her “rebellion” is a core part of who she is.

The pushing for her to find the right man really echoes a lot of my experiences with homophobia and growing up in an environment where women are also pressured to get married and have kids young.

Obviously straight women can face pressures to get married too, but the way eloise is outcasted in the show seems very different. Going to use eloise’s book counterpart as an example. Eloise in the books DID show interest in suitors, even though she (like her show counterpart) was also very outspoken, talkative, and self possessed. She became a spinster because she had high standards and wanted a perfect love story. I definitely think had the show kept this piece of her characterization, and happened to add on a feminist angle especially given a lot of early feminist pieces published in that era, could have been really interesting. I think I would have been more inclined to read her as straight if that was the case. Instead in the show, it pretty quickly frames her as being othered from the get go (and her views seem tied to it).
