#gil rants

Is the innocence and adoration while he didn't know what he was enduring was abuse

is the rage and outrage upon finding out what has been done to him was not only horrible, but a long time ago and Victor is out of reach

is the desperation and pain and not being able to see the Sun anymore after realizing the truth

is the search for companionship

is deeply understanding that his creator doesn't love him and actually loves an idealized version of him

is finding pathetic that his Creator is incapable of seeing him as he is and only as what he is not

is settling for rage to replace the love that was supposed to be there

and, at the end, understanding that forgiving and letting go is not about absolving your Creator's sins, but accepting and forgiving the part of yourself that's hurt

So I’m taking one of those unhinged discord rants and I’m going to try and put it into sensible enough ideas for tumblr. The topic at hand is Vrisrose in general but basically this will follow them in the pitch quadrant. Some of this is going to pull from the meteor but since canonically these two mention each other once and barely interact we’re going to draw conclusions based on them as individual characters.

Alright preamble aside lets start with what I see. I’ve seen some ideas that these two collide on the post retcon meteor due to some jealousy (usually on Vriska’s part) about Kanaya. I don’t think Kanaya is ever a factor in how Vriska and Rose interact with each other. In fact I think they both ignore her to fight with each other.

On principle Rose and Vriska are practically built to dislike each other. Both self assured light players who think they know best. They would grind gears from day one over the most petty bullshit. Rose as someone known for enjoying riling a person up and poking fun at them wouldn’t miss the easiest bully target in the world aka Vriska Serket. We all know how defensive and retaliatory Vriska is as well so I’m guessing you can see where I’m going. This series of petty remarks back and forth would go on for a while until Vriska started hammering on the alcohol stuff. Making fun of how Rose acted when drunk, really poking the bear of an issue she does NOT want to talk about with Vriska of all people. This culminates to the knocking the glass out of Rose’s hand scene. No this does not make Rose all better. In fact! Rose turns around and punches Vriska square in the mouth and starts their first fistfight. From here Kanaya finally actually comes into the picture to see what’s going on. You can’t look me in the eye and say she isn’t on board with these two pitch. It’s basically both women she’s found most attractive in the world being their crazy ass selves. It’s her paradise. 

Things progress from there and they find out that kicking each other’s ass is a little cathartic. There’s a lot of split lips, black eyes, and tore God Tier robes. Around this time is the first time Kanaya catches them making out (It’s the 3rd time they’ve done it.) From there they balance, begrudgingly becoming a somewhat healthy kismesis which over time could help Rose’s struggle with alcoholism and knock some of Vriska’s hubris down. They both get a little worse, but a little better. 

Post game I’m just going to say that they still compete in literally everything. Mario Party is off limits if both are involved as is literally any other mario game. Kanaya has to supervise board game nights and they’ve been kicked out of several dave and busters. They are secretive about any intimate moments or physical interactions so no one sees them making out etc unless they catch them. Kanaya supports and adores them both. She still loves her two failgirls that are a little crazy. This is the path to Vrisrosemary as well but that’s another post for another time. 

y'all are liking and reblogging and leaving a damn comment in a fic,

there's the usual "why is the monster so handsome" tip of the iceberg that are scratching their heads trying to make sense of the stripped down caricature in their minds

there's the usual "is not loyal to the book" pretentious men folks who probably hasn't read the book and think they are speaking for Mary Shelley

and then we have the people who are not able to say "it just wasn't for me" and move on.

There's a huge difference between "he's my baby boy and did no wrong" and "this character fucking sucks and i love it", and associating morality to the second take is kinda hmmmmm thought police?

Listen

I LOVE the horrible horrible characters. My favorite character of Sk8 the Infinity is Adam (if you know you know); but that doesn't mean I think he's a baby boy and did no wrong. He's horrible. I love it.

all of this is fictional media, and not real people

"mabel pines is held on insane expectations because misogyny in fandom is a current and real problem"

is NOT the same as

"Some people hate Mabel because she's a GIRL and are WASTING their TIME loving a FREAK MAN and CONDONING MEN'S WRONGS!!"

youtuber: ha! they are italians! they are soooo totally XYZ, take it from me. Im italian

youtuber: *does some mental math

youtuber: well, soon to be

(context:she is getting married soon)

excuse me but is this how usamericans perceive nationality??? it really baffled me

"soon to be" italian

????????

that's not-

hating on invisigal and then turn around and drool over flambae having hot gay sex with robert is, in fact, misogynistic.

there's lately a trend to dislike female characters in media (or at the very least, not finding them interesting) and then create an entire world of fantasy (that's not part of the original story) to support the same twink x chad dynamics again and again and again.

it's not ✨queer✨. is not progressive. is not "better" because is gay.

is misogyny.

if you think blonde blazer is boring, invisigal is a useless bitch and prism is a "bad bitch #queen #girlpower" and they are not allowed to be anything more,

is misogyny.
