Leave me and my inaccurate tenses alone
Not to demonize Ben's parents,
BUT, if someone like MAVERICK can admit the adults in his life failed him, I can too.
This drives me insane.
I have SO many questions.
Why did Shane want Ben to be in his group? Yes, he's tall and intimidating, but surely he's not the only one in their grade who fits that description. How long did this go on for? Aiden said It happened "every day," but how many days is that? How come Aiden literally can't remember if this happened in 6th or 7th grade? Where did the bullying take place? At school? How did he leave the building with those injuries without an adult noticing that something was wrong? How come his parents didn't say anything to the school board when their son came home, covered from head to toe in bruises? And if they did, why was nothing done?
"Clownin44, that's a little harsh. Give them the benefit of the doubt!"
He (11-13 year old boy) was sneaking out of the house, coming home late, and getting into STREET fights. The main and only reason he stopped was because he put his family in danger, and while I understand you can't help someone who won't accept help, they had EVERY opportunity to help him before it got to that point. He is a child. They are his parents. What if Ben never fought with the young boy whose older brother was in a gang? How long would this have gone on for? I don't know if you know anything about street fighting, but experience matters. This wasn't an act of rebellion. This was incredibly dangerous.
The worst part about it all is that Shane got what he wanted. Sure, Ben didn't join his group, but he did "fix" what he thought was wrong with Ben and inadvertently taught him how to fight. He wasn't expelled for putting him in the hospital. He wasn't expelled for bullying him or for getting his "group" to gang up on him, too. Shane was still in school by the time Ben recovered, and he would've continued to go to school with him if he hadn't moved in with his aunt and uncle. The entire thing was a disaster from start to finish.
Now, consider this; Ben has a younger sister he is incredibly protective of that he doesn't get to see very often. He physically can't be there for her if she ends up going through the same things he did. How can he trust that their parents won't fail her, like they failed him?
side note; the fact that we don't see Ben interacting with his parents, while Lily is basically racing into his arms, hurts me so bad. ARE THEY NOT CONCERNED? DO THEY NOT MISS HIM? DID I MISS A PANEL OF THEM OR SOMETHING? GOSH!!!
I get that it might not be that serious, and we never got to see how his parents handled the situation, so maybe they really were just doing their best, but I had to rant about this because I'm sooo sick and TIRED!!
I can't believe MORE THAN HALF OF AMERICA thinks it's a good idea for Trump to be president again.
Like seriously, what's happening up there.
in light of Trump's inauguration speech declaring multiple national emergencies that require him to take god-knows-what executive actions immediately, I'd like to remember this chapter of "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder:
im rereading sbg and im at the part of ashlyns birth when her parents had the first ever encounter with a phantom
do you guys think the phantom didnt really look like it wanted to hurt anyone? because to me it looked more curious rather then threatening.
like in the second picture it looked like it just wanted to touch ashlyn instead of hurt her or hurt anyone.
or maybe im reaching idk what do yall think
oh and it didnt try to fight back when mike stabbed it
Who tf needs Netflix & chill when you can have ao3 & cry
Taylor: I don’t think we can mansplain, manipulate, or malewife our way out of it this time.
Logan, pulling out his gun: Manslaughter it is.
Merlin: *sees cat video*
Merlin: finally
Merlin: internet as the gods intended
Both logan and taylor being taken together by the facility was SUCH a good choice by Red.
It's a well known fact that logan is one of the most developed characters in the webtoon although this development never changed his overall outlook on life, just his confidence in himself, he is still the same person he was during the start of season 1, which was a over kind and sweet person
Taylors character (despite not having much development throughout the series) is one of the most 'innocent' or one of nicer characters despite the adversity she has been through, as she is the person that is essentially keeping her family together.
So these two are taken together back to the facility, two most open and generally happy people in the webtoon (yk what in saying) being put back into their oppressors hands would be horrible for them.
Their experiences from just getting kidnapped in season 2 would have already been incredibly traumatising, and being put back in that place that took you and keep you from you friends and family would be even worse.
But this doesn't end there. I have seen many people theorising that season 3 is going to be set a few years in the future. meaning if logan and taylor don't escape on their own during this time they could be in the facility for YEARS.
if this were to happen, they would change so much as people, this incredible trauma as well as probably torture over this long time would make them become different people altogether.
So if the story chooses this route, some of the kindest people in the series would become some of the most cruel or least caring.
Red you are diabolical.
likes to charge, reblogs to cast
Ain't no way they just made tumblr shorts
I came here to theorize and look at cats, and that is what I will do.
