Feferi Appoints Me As Her Royal Adviser While Laughing... HOLY CARP I GOTTA TELL MY RP GROUP!

As a kid that came from a 'She loves me, she loves me so much it hurts. I just wish she was a better Mother so loving her back didn't feel so hard' relationship with my own mom I latched on to Kurt and Rouge so, so hard as a kid. I felt their pain, their conflict, but every time I saw Raven... I couldn't help but love her, couldn't help seeing my mom in her. It doesn't help that Mystique is actually her favorite right behind Storm. It's my own inside 'joke', my mom will always love me just like Raven will always love Kurt and Anna but she was never the mother they needed her to be, especially when they needed her the most. Maybe I won't always feel like her little Nightcrawler, but for now, I don't mind it so much, I have my own Rouge after all (even comes with their own Gambit) and he's the best big brother in the world.

I think the ideas that

“Raven is a bad parent”

And

“Raven loves their children”

Can and should co exist. I will never sit here and say Mystique is a good parent, but I think acting like they don’t love their children is just being willfully ignorant of their characterization since the 80s.

I see a lot of people try to claim Raven doesn’t care about their kids. I actually think they care a LOT, it just, doesn’t deter their actions. And they’re not a good parent, don’t get me wrong, but that doesn’t mean they don’t love Kurt and Rogue and I think trying to claim they don’t actually does away with a lot of Raven’s character nuance.

A lot of the tragedy and depth of their relationships come from the fact that Raven DOES love their children, but it’s not enough. And Kurt and Anna Marie know that, and that’s part of the tragedy of it too.

I’m not a Mystique defender, but I am a Raven Darkhölme characterization realist. A lot of people flatten their character to add more sympathy to Kurt’s story especially, which feels kinda iffy to me. But that’s for another post.

From a storytelling perspective, it adds so much more depth and tragedy to all characters involved to not make the relationship so shallow and one sided as “Oh Mystique doesn’t love them”, and even to juxtapose Raven’s relationship to them with Irene’s is a whole other thing I may talk about one day. But like, you do the story injustice to flatten it down to just “Oh Mystique sucks”

Tl;dr - Raven Darkhölme is a shitty parent but they do love their kids. And that’s the whole tragedy of the thing

Okay but I can't help that I forget everything within like three minutes!

IT WILL ALWAYS FALLOW!!!

So I was on YouTube and a web comic ad comes up. It was amv type one which I personally had never seen so I sat through it, not to mention it was on yaoi. Things like Love Stage, and Junjou Romantica was on it I was like "okay sweet, I love both of those" and then the scene from Free! Iwatobi Swim Club were Rin pushes Haru against a gate pops up and I just sit there and think 'Wha- b-but... Free isn't... Well it's not classified under... WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO MY SHIPPER SELF! YOUR FEEDING IT DAMNIT!'

This is why Nanami is best character because he does shit like this. He just wants to make sure Yuji is okay and doesn't lose all of his childhood trying to protect everyone 😭. I'm sorry Nanami is my favorite I love him lots.

"being a child is not a sin" thank you nanami i will now proceed to weep into my pillow and contemplate my entire life that has occurred so far

Ah yes peak "Is life even real" commentary from our resident sleep deprived abstract thinkers

[Leblanc at 4AM]

Yusuke: Nothing is on fire. Fire is on other things.

Ren: …?

Yusuke: Apologies. Did I wake you-?

Ren, sitting up: Firetrucks are actually watertrucks.

Yusuke: And most of the stars we see are dead.

Ren: Did the gods make humans? Or did humans make the gods?

Yusuke: Is it too early or too late to have a crisis.

The only thing that's running through my head is if Ryuji moves that package Akiren is gonna bap the fuck out of poor Yusuke on accident 😭
