Are You Satanick Lover Too

me when that one couple doomed by the narrative say i love you without saying i love you (i will be crying over them for several months)

The more toxic Andrew was in episode 3A the hotter he became. He is straight up awful and the red flags are glaring but red is my favorite color 🥰

a talking point i often see when defending the consumption of dark content is that it’s a coping mechanism for those with trauma which is very valid and true but i also want to make this abundantly clear: you can like dark content for no reason. you can enjoy fucked up shit in fiction because it’s enjoyable and entertaining. trauma is not required as a ticket for entry. enjoy your dark content bc it’s fun and sexy and don’t let anyone take that away from you

I can't wait to find long, detailed analyses of that scene in the new episode

So who said that while Andrew is genuinely attracted to Ashley, she sees sex as a way to keep her brother close? Because will you look at that. Andrew told her that he was considering getting back together with Julia (not that he wanted to impregnate her to "seal the deal" though), they argued, he beat her black and blue in a scene I found very upsetting, and what's Ashley's reaction? Beg Andrew to fuck her even though she's not even into it, because it's not about the need for sex for her, she just wants to be sure, for once, that Andrew loves her. And clearly, she thinks sex is the only thing worthwile she can give - when asked why Andrew should keep her alive and with him, she has no solid answer other than "I can bake", because cooking and fucking are the only two things a woman is for, and if she can do both for Andrew, he will never abandon her no matter how much he hates her.

She even pressures Andrew into drinking because she knows that otherwise, he'll pull away once more, even if he, for once in his amoral life, seems to be genuinely unwilling to "prey on his baby sister".

now this is some toxic shit that leaves my guts all sad and confused. i love it <3

EDIT:

You are an extremely fascinating creature, Ashley. I can't even begin to unpack all of this.

[ … ] “you say all the right things, but you don’t mean any of it. there is something cold and dead where your heart should be.”

miss julia clocked andrew to the bone.

Arcane producers really were like “How can we make this as incestuous as possible without actual incest”

the fact that I’ve actually had this happen multiple times when I’ve entered a new fandom is hilarious like what do you MEAN

The fact that the way the Lord Unknown is named changes as Andrew's perception of them does too means a lot to me.

"Something kind" 💔

All Andrew really needed at that moment was someone (or something) to open up to, to actually listen to him, to *know* him.

I'm happy he was able to get that somehow, even if he got it from a mysterious demon.
