there are a lot of really good ancient roman laws but i think my favorite is that, if you got struck by lightening and died, you couldnt have a proper burial because it meant that the gods hated you

Y’all almost beat my ass when I said this awhile ago but it’s true!

this is actually the primary reason me and my ex broke up. as an only child I’m very used to being alone and he didn’t grow up that way so it reqlly bothered him. whenever I wanted alone time he worried that that really meant I wanted time with other people and I’m just like what????? people need space. period. a relationship is not a contract for ownership. your partner is a whole person with their own shit before, after, and during your relationship.

The tags killed me

This is an ongoing issue in my relationship. I dont understand this. I’m like “we need to be together ALL THE TIME ” and hes like “I need time alone”

Why?

Because your partner is still their own person who deserves basic respect and that includes space. Y’all don’t need to be around each other 24-7.

You’re probably suffocating them.

Can we please also establish that wanting to spend time with people other than your partner without them there is totally legitimate and doesn’t mean you are cheating or love them any less

it makes me real fucking emo to think of how Iroh always refers to Zuko as “Prince Zuko”. Not out of some false stuck-up sense of formality or to distance himself emotionally or something, but because Zuko has been kicked out of his home by his own father and stripped of his identity, has lost his birthright and nation and entire sense of self in one terrible blow, and all he really has left is his name and title, as defamed and mocked as it is. Iroh is probably the only person in the world to address Zuko as “Prince” and actually mean it. His nephew needs to believe he can return home, needs to maintain some scrap of hope to keep him going. The only time Iroh slips up is and just calls him “Zuko” is when he thinks Zuko’s been killed in the ship explosion.

similarly, it makes me real fucking emo to think of how Zuko only ever calls Iroh “Uncle”. Not Prince, not General, not the Dragon of the West, not even just Iroh – he calls him uncle. Because Iroh is the only member of his family who Zuko trusts enough to let his guard down completely. He knows he won’t be punished for being informal or vulnerable around him, knows that calling him “uncle” will never be misconstrued as a sign of disrespect. Even at his angriest, Zuko addresses Iroh as “Uncle”. In the end, his uncle is the only person with whom he feels truly safe.

I think a surprising amount of writers don’t realize that tragedies are supposed to be cathartic. They’re intended to result in a purging of emotion, a luxurious cry; the sorrow caused by a great tragedy is akin to fear caused by a good horror movie – it’s a “safe” sorrow, one that is actually satisfying to the audience. It can still be beautiful! It’s isn’t supposed to just be salting the earth so nothing can grow.

But that’s how you get grimdark: writers who don’t realize that they’re supposed to be doing something with the audience instead of to the audience.

Um… Cassian Andor and Jyn Erso totally made out in the elevator after successfully transmitting the Death Star plans and we just didn’t see it, right? Right????
