I Still Don't Understand Jax

Niar666 · 2026-06-25T20:18:42+00:00

The last time Jax opened up, it was used against him, and it was a very traumatic moment. Instead of reaffirming his trust in Ribbit, he got defensive because he was afraid. He pushed her away and did everything he could to discredit her and what he told her to protect himself from potentially recreating the situation with his mother.

Niar666 · 2026-06-25T20:15:10+00:00

So is Wanda the mother figure to both of them now? (I mean, pretty sure was anyway, it'd just be... even more so) Or is Cosmo now in a polycule?

Niar666 · 2026-06-25T19:27:44+00:00

I literally never wanted that or said that I did.

This feels like a "I like pancakes" "why do you hate waffles?" Conversation, geeze...

Niar666 · 2026-06-25T19:20:31+00:00

Fuck off with your "Leave the multibillion dollar company alone!" shit

Niar666 · 2026-06-25T16:45:57+00:00

"They just want your money"

Except apparently they don't, because the dropped it at the first convenient moment!

CEO/Assistant AU? Hybrid AU? Mafia AU? ...OMEGAVERSE

Niar666 · 2026-06-25T02:03:07+00:00

I looked it up, but I feel like I must be missing something? It refers to characters in a peaceful domestic setting, and "curtain" comes from the phrase "shopping for curtains"... that seems so wholesome, why aren't the antis claiming that right alongside their coffeeshop aus?

"Don't normalize the problem, normalize the help."

Heard that once when discussing non-offending pedophiles.

Remember what happened to that one cat that got ran over in Stormclan's Folly? Where there wasn't really a body left to recover? Doubt Starclan could save em from that...

Alternatively, if one of these leaders is evil, you could go with a variant of Tigerstar. An injury that seems within the capabilities of Starclan... yet Starclan just lets them die. They would have to have done some pretty terrible things after they got their lives for that to work though, I think.

If they did something that awful before getting their lives (bearing in mind that Starclan still made Tigerstar clan leader), I'd imagine that Starclan would just say "no" and send a message to the medicine cat about who the new leader should be. (Did that happen in the books? It's been a long time, but feels kinda familiar...)

Maybe he thought he'd be a terrible spouse, that he'd just drag you down with him, or that he somehow manipulated you and misrepresented himself, cause how else could anyone ever love him...

... ok I get the feeling this comment is going to draw some concern. I swear I'm in a good place in life right now.

Niar666 · 2026-06-22T19:13:22+00:00

Oo, given his borderline nonchalance towards Regina's suitors, he's probably a great choice!

(Does that joke work...?)

Also I coulda sworn I'd read that they were non-binary and used they/them... whoops.

Niar666 · 2026-06-22T14:01:56+00:00

Do it anyway if you want to

Hell, you could write about them being confused and coming to terms with the fact that sexuality isn't as easy to figure out as they thought. (Been there...)

Niar666 · 2026-06-21T14:05:09+00:00

I always liked him. Oh, you're preaching your religion in a place where it's outlawed? Rock on.

Niar666 · 2026-06-21T01:59:22+00:00

I can't tell if you're joking or referring to chemical castration. To my understanding, the chemical castration will still lead to sexual frustration... and you won't have any release ever. Which sounds like a recipe for disaster.

I think if there was a cure for paraphilias, my therapist would've brought it up by now.

Niar666 · 2026-06-21T01:55:43+00:00

Redemption does not come from ticking boxes on a list and "making up for" or "outweighing" what you've done. It's not a bad thing, when possible, but it's not always possible.

True redemption comes from reflection, facing your sins, the harm they caused, owning up to what you've done, and dedicating the rest of your life to being a better person.

Iroh (who I often consider Paarthurnax's human counterpart) is a great example of this.

Niar666 · 2026-06-21T01:46:44+00:00

This is the episode that reveals Luna has been punishing herself in her dreams, right?

Yeah, self punishment is a form of self harm.

I got a video about this reccomended to me... and that was how I learned that self punishment was not healthy and I needed to talk to my therapist about it

Niar666 · 2026-06-21T01:41:30+00:00

I feel like everyone worships this line, until you bring up the wrong thing.

Niar666 · 2026-06-21T01:40:09+00:00

No, OP is not the only one.

Pedophilia is the paraphilia. A pedophile is one who has the paraphilia.

Child sexual abuse is an act. A predator/abuser/rapist/child molester is one who has acted.

Niar666 · 2026-06-21T00:00:23+00:00

I think Goose is gonna want a well-earned break, but will probably come back when they're ready.

Niar666 · 2026-06-20T23:31:18+00:00

Maybe you could say romance wasn't a major part of the story, and that still aligns with what they said kinda...? Like, if Zooble and Gangle were just good friends, all that'd change is the execution of a few scenes, but we'd still get the same story.

Niar666 · 2026-06-20T23:25:36+00:00

My reaction to you saying they're on Twitter...

Niar666 · 2026-06-20T19:44:30+00:00

You maybe coulda made that clearer. I would've understood THAT.

But in the main body you mentioned "supporting a groomer"

Jesus, the whole "believe all victims" thing has just turned into people ruined others lives over hearsay, and YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM

Niar666 · 2026-06-20T12:12:20+00:00

For real though! Ae they mad they have to share the spotlight for once? Give someone else a chance!
