@snickerolli im thinking about ragatha's "we were sort of friends? as much as anyone could be with jax" and just assuming she was always kind of a mess, i assume mostly gloomy and miserable considering ribbit and kaufmo were celebrating getting laughter out of her ππ
@Wolfscarab oh yeah its just a hypothetical i was playing around with for fun, i cant say how things will pan out yet or even if or how they'll discover what's going on, but its fun to imagine them in scenarios where theyre more casual about the whole situation LOL
1k likes in 3 hours and yet the fic has only gotten like 2 new kudos.... i see how it is...... i promise my writing is like way better than my art though lmfao
@beepboez linked the fic in the replies, but lee re-scanned and her and jax got forced into one body basically, its not identical to plurality but it is meant to parallel it!!
@snickerolli its away of rationalizing away her rejection of him because she's desperate to be emotionally hyper-independent, out of distrust for everyone, and she can kind of blame him for anything that turns out badly between them so she doesn't have to confront her own issues
like i think if she wasnt beaten down to the point of reluctantly accepting care first she'd get like genuinely offended and upset. like Dont fucking pull this on me dont take me by surprise dont pretend you CARE, quit it with the stupid wounded animal act, you dont care
kinger's presence is very consistent to jax because i dont think he's ever pushed even when he was completely lucid, he is distantly positive and doesnt challenge her at all. i think she'd VERY quickly resent him if he tried to do the gentle routine with her
@snickerolli its already hard enough for her to do it with people that are her in her age bracket or good friends of hers, i think she would automatically register kinger as having "power" over her by virtue of being older, and would immediately be hostile and stubborn because of that
and i dont think kinger would push that or pry, and just assume she needs space. he can't help someone who wont come to him at all, right? he cant make her like or trust him. and i think it would hurt him to watch her act like that, but what can he do?
where were you before when i needed you, before i ever came here??? fuck you!! fuck you. i'm too old to need something like this. You dont care. how dare you challenge my perception of you. now i cant even rely on you to be what i expect, can i not trust anyone??? you RUINED this
