you cannot make me get over the fact that Randy parked beside Benson's car before starting his shift. he could've parked anywhere but he chooses the spot beside Benson. like.
which could mean nothing. BUT. just. look at this shot. LOOK AT IT. they look like two peas in a pod. am I tripping, or does this imply that our boy Randy actually feels safer with Benson around. (bet that he leaves at least one parking space when it comes to his other colleagues, kinda delulu but who knows)

ruben's intense repulsion towards the mere idea of another man sexually assaulting him when he has historically assaulted a woman in one of the most dehumanizing ways possible is a masterful portrayal of how homophobia is inherently misogynist and how the structural powers that perpetuate this kind of thinking are primarily masculinist.
ruben saying that being groped by a man is "different" and how it's an "attack to the soul" just bespeaks this unrealized view of women where they are inexorably stripped of their personhood. the implication that women are not a threat to his masculinity by virtue of their assigned gender at birth is the traditional and conservative view of gender that inherently treats women as nothing more than objects and vessels for masculine validation.
homophobia at its core stems from a fear of having a structure that naturally oppresses women toppled, and perhaps even from a masculinist sexual shame that's externalized as the fallacious presumption of gay people's nature as sexual predators. the fact that this show is able to portray that is honestly just satisfying.

watching half man as a the passenger fan is completely going past the moral conflict zone and squealing like you've just won the lottery when ruben punches niall in the face or winks at him from across the classroom after presumably knifing niall's bullies out in the street
It's been a while since The Hedge Knight and His Dragon has been taken down and I've been missing it. Personally, I'm not inclined to believe the AI allegations until the author has admitted to it themselves. Also because from the author's responses to my comments on their work, they seem to have a clear vision of where they want the story to go. I don't believe that an AI-generated story would have so much cohesion and full circle moments like that one bedroom scene that mirrored the ankle-grab at Ashford — something that was such a clever narrative choice for the reason that it was the same action but done in an entirely different context. I don't believe an AI-generated story would have accidentally injected a blood kink in there if it wasn't specified in the prompt, or skillfully maintained Aerion's characterization as someone who's vain and cruel throughout 40 chapters. I'm not saying these things have immediately cleared all doubts, but I do think it's alright to hope and come in the defense of a story I've become so invested in and got me in the fandom in the first place. AI sucks, but bullying writers who put in all their free time and energy in a passion project they willingly share with others on the internet sucks even more.
Please do NOT interact if you're only going to be expressing your vitriol towards the author and/or the work and not add anything meaningful to the discussion. I will be muting this post and disable reblogging if that happens.
constantly thinking about this amnesiac!aerion au prompt and imagining aerion being all sweet and then something like this happening:
