CW: Death, Cheating, Grief, Mourning

I'm going to talk to the void cause shit happened among my community and I'm processing (if you know the people in the story, no you don't).

There's a unique parallel between death and the end of a relationship especially when felt in communities. Obviously both are the end of something, but there's more to it. Both are mourned under the conditions of their ending, murder victims are mourned far different than people who pass in their sleep after saying goodbye. Likewise I think that relationships are often mourned the same way.

This becomes especially poignant when it comes to relationships that die by cheating. These relationships ended by the greatest betrayal of hearts that a human can endure, and importantly revolve around the taking of consent. In these instances consent between partners is on the "contract" of being in a relationship. When you have those agreements which you promised to live by there is no guarantee other than trust that it will be upheld. This is why relationships are often scary but rewarding, it's scary to take a leap of faith like that but also deeply rewarding to trust someone that deeply. And when that trust is broken with cheating it breaks that trust and deals a mortal wound to a relationship.

Okay, so how does this relate to murder victims? When a person dies in that way they are denied agency, consent, and the ability to die on their own terms. When these things happen without someone doing this it's a tragedy and hurts more than a peaceful passing but there's extra pain when someone causes that loss.

The reason is trust, when you exist in a community there is a set of agreed upon rules that almost always include not to kill each other, it's about the most universal rule out there. The trust is what gets violated so that not only is a person gone but a deep and fundamental trust is broken. This is why I feel these types of mourning are similar.

The point to making this comparison is this, murders are felt among the whole community. They are mourned with the whole community. When people in your community experience cheating, support them and help them mourn just as you would a person lost because often times they lost the person most dear to them in the process.

I wrote this poem at breakfast so here it goes

Farewell, until we meet again:

Why must you give me such mixed emotions?

You're the source of some of my greatest hurt

The source of some of my worst decisions

But my heart aches to think of leaving

Maybe I love the side effects, the friends

Memories and joy that were made with you

Maybe that's why my soul cries to see it end

Despite all the pain I've endured here

Maybe I started to think of you as home

I laid my head here for a whole year

That certainly has an effect of its own

In spite of the pain many of those nights bore

Maybe I won't miss the brick laden streets

Which I walked everyday to classes and such

Maybe I won't miss it in favor of the heat

Way back home, but I'm far from certain

Maybe I'll come back and wash the blood

Of poor decisions with the water of the good

And then only the good ones will flood

My mind, but this year's taught me not to guess

Only just found out...

CATDORA HEADCANONS~

This is all super unorganized rn but ill fix it later :P

🧸🍰🧸🍰🧸🍰🧸🍰🧸

-catra and adora DEFINITELY kissed when they were in the fright zone, but shadow weaver erased adora's memories and told catra to never bring it up

-catra accidently scratches adora's back with her claws while they're cuddling

-they found the spot where adora found the sword and they go on dates there every now and then

-catra always thinks about the chances of her and adora being together if they stayed in the fright zone

-back when they were in the fright zone catra was completely in love with adora, but she couldn't say anything since shadow weaver would just erase their memories

-when adora started living in bright moon she still layed with her legs tucked up because she was used to catra sleeping at the bottom of the bed

-MAYBE they didn't even know what dating is in the horde since that would be considered a distraction, so catra was super confused when she started having feelings. And when adora began having feelings she thought she would be a disappointment to the horde :(
