Vie and Alex~

Sometimes I like to draw them just bein girlfriends asdkfj

‘Shimmer’

Alex on her own.

Unlike Sol, Alex absolutely has a lot of body dysphoria, but she could really care less about what other people think. To that end she tends to present very femme, but she always seems to have a bit of rock and roll about her. Her face is usually a blank slate but she’s full of fire. She starts sex reassignment surgery at around 18. Prior to that she may pad her chest but because one of her passions is ballet, she doesn’t overly mind a very slim, or ‘flat’ physique as long as it’s ‘not obvious’.

She also loves video games, being in the sun in the summer, and punching people who try to tell her what to think. Because of this she doesn’t have the best grades...

Evan, Vie, and Alex - the polycule

I don’t have much else to add, other than we may never stop talking about The Mummy (2017) and what an unmitigated disaster it was.

It’s one for the ages.

District Ten. The land of plateaus, plains and fields. The district of farms and cattle and the heartiest, most resilient tributes. Naturally, Axton had studied the district a lot in his younger years but while he could name every single victor and their arena, the Peacekeeper had to admit that he didn't know very much about Ten at all. At first, the thought was a little frightening but the closer his departure date came, the more excited Axe became - it was almost like when he'd met Jewel for the first time. It was all so very new and so very different that by the time his permanent change of station was scheduled to take place, the young man couldn't wait for this new adventure.

me: people keep telling me that my smut makes them emotional. Why can’t I just write something that’s hot, y’know? Like that’s just sexy?

my roommate: well, from what I understand, you seem to think that emotions and connections are sexy so that’s what you’re writing in your smut, while most people just find... sexy stuff sexy. 

me, asexual: oh

;-;

I saw a beautiful gifset here that parallels the scene at the drive in, and the scene in the finale with Michael talking about walking away. And I now have some feelings.

We didn’t know the full story at the time the episode aired about how exactly Jesse played into Michael and Alex’s trauma but it confuses me that looking back now, people spent this past season (and are still) pointing to this moment to bring up how Alex was “always” walking away and how he needed to let Michael be happy with someone stable like m*ria. ????? 

The drive-in scene is Alex is trying to protect Michael. His dad literally just threatened both of them. Did Alex handle it well? No. He was probably spiraling out in his mind thinking of all the implications of what his dad said. Thinking about the power his dad has to get Michael locked up, and his dad knowing that if Michael goes missing probably no one will care to look too hard for him, and if he turns up dead it can easily be brushed aside as a bar brawl gone wrong. Thinking about the implication that Alex associating with a known criminal while having high-level government security clearance could get him in trouble at work, possibly lose him his security clearance which for a cyber security analyst likely means losing his job, and the implications of that as his health insurance is going to be tied to the military as well. 

Pushing Michael away in a fit of panic may not be a healthy response from Alex, but it's often brought up and treated like Alex is purposefully trying to hurt Michael, instead of Michel being hurt as a byproduct of Alex having a very valid trauma response that he does work to correct by digging into his dad and throwing around his rank to get his dad stationed outside the country to keep Michael safe while he works out a more permanent solution.

In contrast to all of that, Michael's moment in the finale where he says he needs to walk away is portrayed as mature and proof of character growth even though he doesn't actually communicate that (like an adult) to Alex. There is no communication here about what he wants, or what he’s feeling so just like Michael in 1x03, Alex is the one left feeling off-kilter and unwanted by Michael when he sees him walk out. We also see Michael look at Forrest and seeming decide that Forrest is a better choice for Alex than he is, without letting Alex make that decision while knowing Michael could be an option. So Michel is still responding and making decisions driven by his fear of not being enough, so it isn’t really some hugely mature decision, even though c*rina tried to frame it like it was. So Michael gets to be (justifiably) sad and hurt by Alex but (as we saw all season with the m*luca nightmare), Alex isn't allowed to be sad and upset by Michael’s actions. Alex has to be happy and fine when Michael walks away while he’s singing a really emotional love song about Michael and his current feelings about wanting them to start over and try again, reinforcing the idea that it's okay for Michael to do the same thing Alex got vilified for doing. And I think it’s down to how c*rina framed it all, because in both instances, we get to see more of Michael’s side of things and are told more about what he is thinking and feeling. Where in Alex’s case we are mostly left to guess, and extrapolate from the information at hand and the logic of how a character with Alex’s backstory would act, only to be told later that we’re wrong and that Alex is actually just ashamed of Michael because of who Michael is as a person and how he presents himself (because Alex has been shown to give a single flying fuck about that and about what other people think 🙄). 

I don’t know where I was going with this, except that both Alex and Michael have made mistakes and missteps with each other, and and hurt each other unintentionally in trying to save themselves, or in their responses to trauma triggers and immediate threats. Neither one of them is the saint, and neither one is the villain, they are just two flawed people trying to learn how to love each other again. So lets stop pitting them against each other in some kind of game of whose trauma is worse, or who hurt who when, and why. It’s time we stop keeping score, and I really hope season 3 will let Malex actually do that. 

who's the spn character most likely to have your taste in music

in my heart abram kelvin is alive and okay but god, i’d be lying if i said i don’t think about that transition for r and sprout from near strangers to suddenly her being a part of their little family, especially given that sprout witnessed abram’s death and how traumatic that was for her.

Alex wait no that’s not-
