Day 3: Parenthood 🎏

Y’all they’re on Twitter being ableist about Jinx and talking about how she “doesn’t have the mental capacity for a relationship” in order to justify their dislike of Timebomb and I-

Not liking Timebomb, or any ship involving Jinx, for whatever reason, is perfectly valid! Saying that Jinx, someone suffering from mental illness, doesn’t have the capacity to handle romance is very ignorant at best and extremely disrespectful and ableist at worst! No tea no shade, but come tf on. You don’t have to make up nonsense ableist reasons to justify your dislike of a ship ffs 🤦🏾‍♀️ 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

jinx doodling little hearts around ekko whenever he shows up in the artbook, oh shes never beating the down bad allegations

Imma start taking my son away from some of yall because i be seeing the most heinous takes.

"Ekko only cares about Powder and would never love Jinx."

THE WHOLE POINT OF HIM GOING BACK IS BECAUSE HE REALIZED HE NEEDED TO LOVE JINX AS MUCH AS HE LOVED POWDERD. THEY ARE THE FUCKING SAME PERSON. AND IF HE ONLY CARED ABOUT ONE SIDE HE WOULD HAVE STAYED HIS ASS IN THE ALT DIMENSION!

They were both hurting, they both did and said shit they didn't mean. Ekko looking at Powder healthy and happy made him realize. Jinx could heal, that his love didn't just stop. It never went away, he still loved her. Its why he gentle with her, why he rewinds time. Its why he corrects himself.

Jinxs will literally haunt him because all this time spent angry could have been used to reset like they did when they finally talked.

GOD- don't piss me off slandering my son.

Gwen: "I love you, Miles"

cardan/nicasia: why they’ll never happen again analysis/speculation

a while back i saw someone (or rather, a thread of ppl saying that they hope cardan and nicasia don’t get it on in the next book which is supposed to be nicasias book (supposedly) and i even saw someone say they WISH THEY DO ?!

so here’s your fun reminder of what nicasia put cardan through!

I’ve gathered together all the shit nicasia did to cardan: being the first girl he loved then breaking his heart w his friend, allowing cardan to catch them ON HIS BEDROOM FLOOR. (not entirely her fault but she totally had shits and giggles abt it when cardan confronted her) then when Locke screwed her over, she got CARDAN and his power as prince, to harass the girl(s) locke chose over her, one of which cardan liked, then later on was trying to manipulate him to marry her (which i think is when cardan realized they weren’t rly even friends anymore), THEN kidnapping and torturing the girl she knew cardan loved, AND befriending his abusive neglectful mother!

like damn. how u even fumble that bad, not just romantically but as a friend.

also I’d like to add her consistent entitlement, not just the whole “i bully girls bc I’m a princess and i can!” but the “cardan take me back even after i emotionally ruined you multiple times!” 😐

poor cardan

anyway, I’ve read lots of holly black books, and she is VERY mindful w abusive sort of relationships. and cheating relationships. she writes about them a LOT and each time they are pretty irredeemable.

note(the only exceptions):Taryn and hazel (darkest part of the forest) who sorta cheated on accident/ it wasn’t their fault-> but didn’t end well

add on note sorry: “but nicasia cheated on cardan on accident bc Locke was a gancanagh!” false! nicasia admitted that what her and Locke were doing was prolonged, the scene that cardan finds them is not their first time screwing around. nicasia KNOWINGLY cheated on cardan. then she was like “ok but i still care abt u! take me back” ?

now you can say that it could sorta be classified as an accident due to lockes natures (which are actually really disturbing if u think abt it) and that’s true, i never blamed nicasia for that relationship, but i do blame her for all the utter dogshit she not only put cardan thru, but Jude.

and this is cardan we are talking about. he who killed half an army for Jude when madoc tried taking his daughter back (sounds funny out of context).

we must remember that cardan does not want Jude hurt and humiliated and that’s exactly what nicasia went and did to Jude. through all the books bro. nicasia literally kidnapped and tortured Jude in the undersea so there’s 0 chance of cardan touching nicasia unless maybe to turn her into a tree again (but he can always just do that at a distance 😛)

anyway back to the cheating:

which is why i know that holly would never pull any sort of bull w cardan and nicasia, and you may be thinking (well that’s bullshit what do u know?) 3 separate books w cheating tropes, and 5+ diff relationships that involve cheating w no redemption. LOL

anyway black and i certainly agree on that front, and the way she uses the trope so consistently, and makes it so the cheaters are never endgame, or have a horrible death (Locke AND his mom, also Eva Duarte 😭the dude Ben dated from dpotf, and Kaye and that guy Janet was dating, Val and Tom and dave and lolli (modern faerie tales)) is pretty telling!

holly is great at writing healthy relationships, and she knows that tcp is her biggest hit w the media, so she won’t go and fuck that, not just bc she would never and it’s out of her writing style and character and literally moral compass when it comes to writing relationships, but also bc her publishers/editors would NEVER let that slide.

but i can’t wait for her book! i love knowing that nicasia will never have a chance w cardan again, it’s no less than what she deserves 😋

anyway sorry for ranting! I just feel so strongly abt this topic, cardan would never cheat on Jude, since he’s been cheated on before, and it was heart wrenching, and bc of his upbringing, he would never. if you haven’t, go thru my masterlist in my pinned and find the cardan /nicasia thing where i explain why he wouldn’t cheat far better there!

But feel free to add on, i probably missed a few things so lmk!! 🫶

One of the Gwen haters and comic lovers called for their children to be killed and aborted

Gwen haters are on the next level.

They have every right to not like the character, but taking it this far is screaming medical help.

They shouldn't wish death to anyone and doing it to fictional characters, well, that's their own insecure and hate not to the character, but theirselves.

Gwen is a well-written and complex character which the media usually lack. If they don't understand her, then don't go hating on her. Especially just because she is paired with a guy.

As for the comics, ghostflower there is totally different from the spider verse movies. But, their kids show a new possibility and introduce new characters. I would like to get a comic about Charlotte and Max Morales-Stacy cause they have an interesting background to see.

So, for those who hating,

You can't claim to be a marvel fan when you hate its characters just because they ended up paired up with someone you don't want to or for being related to the person you hate.

Learn how to comprehend.

And stop exposing your zero critical thought.
