thanks to the fandom for spreading aroace grace propaganda I lowkey forgot I could be aroace until I saw it we are so back

in the scene where rocky wakes up, grace is sleeping against his xenonite walls. how often do you think he did that. how often do you think he could only sleep when he was as close as possible to rocky, but even then, it's usually closer. how often did he need to do it, because without it he'd be plagued with the idea that rocky would wake up without him? they're supposed to watch each other sleep, afterall.

Watching people continously over look and over hate Hood. Watching people twist her words and make her out to be evil. Watching people ignore the actual, genuine, monster that is Sniffer and treat Hood like a horrible person. Watching people brush past all of the implications that come from every scene involving Hood and Sniffer. Watching people act like she had purposefully gone out of her way to kill The Girl. Watching people act as though she wouldn't have stopped it from happening if she knew the truth. Watching yet another fandom push the blame back onto an innocent girl just because they need a scapegoat, and the situation that all of the characters are in isn't enough, the monsters aren't enough, the people that would have led the kids into making those choices aren't enough.

One thing I really liked about Hood (and equally all female REANIMAL/ln characters) are how they're written. It's horrible that this is even something I have to APPRECIATE, but they aren't written as women. So many female characters are just that, female. It's like their most defining personalilty trait. There's no women who also just happen to be a cowboy, that's a female cowboy who's extremely buff and wasn't ever expected to become a cowboy but she defied the stigma. It feels as though people often go into writing women with that thought in mind, that they're women. For LN and reanimal, it just so happens that they're female. It's so perfect. They are no different from the male characters. And yet, the fandoms will still separate them and pick them apart for the things that their male counterparts did as well

my [LEAST] favorite kind of coltlandgentry fics are the ones that end with nothing changing. Ryland still goes to space, he never comes back to his brothers, still chases after his missing memories, and Colt and Court are left on Earth to mourn, confused and greiving.

I mean yeah just don't think about how after Maysilee found out about Lou Lou she knew that she'd need to be on her best behavior because if they find themselves missing a tribute there's a perfect copy back in 12.
