Duos That Have The Same Vibe

Girl, Im sobbing with this one 😭😭😭

I think part of the reason I’m so obsessed with MXTX’s works is the way that each story seems to hold you gently as say “Your kindness mattered. It didn’t alleviate the suffering, it did not undo the pain. But your kindness mattered.”

Kindness could not erase Luo Binghe’s abuse, but it changed the story into a kinder one.

Kindness did not stop Wei Wuxian’s death, but it did save a-Yuan.

Kindness did not undo Xie Lian’s suffering, but it renewed his sincerity to help others.

Kindness did not change the entire world, but it helped create a softer future.

Its such a nice message, that maybe kindness will not protect you, maybe you don’t see the outcome of it, but you should still try to be kind, and I love that honestly.

Biting is a love language too

And the fact Andrew doesnt feel threatned by Neil's ability to pick locks, bc he trusts Neil entirely and knows that Neil will never cross his boundarys, even if he is able to

you ever think about how important keys are to neil and locks are to andrew and how they're also the only characters in the series shown to be able to pick them. because i do. im actually always thinking about neil liking having keys bcus it means he belongs somewhere and therefore doesnt need to pick the lock. im always thinking about how andrew needs locks to feel safe and how neil's respect of that boundary despite having the tools to cross it is the reason andrew even lets him in. im thinking about it.

Yes.

Kevin would not - could not - defend himself against Riko. Years of abuse and torture beat into him that he was to obey Riko.

But when Riko goes for Neil, Kevin tries to stop him. He catches Riko's arm, he lays a hand on him, he goes against him. Because protecting Neil, who at the time was just some random nobody Kevin was trying to mentor, was more important than his fear of Riko.

Neil kissed his survival instincts goodbye when he defended Kevin against Riko on TV, but Kevin also fought against his survival instincts to protect Neil from Riko just a few minutes later.

Realising the Ravens played Exy the way Tetsuji wanted and the Tojans the way Kayleigh wanted, and that’s why USC is Kevin’s favourite team.

Kay, so obviously we’re never getting an AFTG tv show, but can you imagine the comedic gold of some of it being shot in the mockumentary style as “The Office”

Like, obviously not the more traumatic or gory scenes, but, like the first tv interview with Kathy? The “you know I get it” speech? Getting everyone’s first thoughts on Neil joining the team? Watching Wymack realize that Andriel is a thing? Do you see the vision

You think Tilda ever slipped her pills into Aaron's food when he was just a kid to get him to finally calm down, shut up, and go to sleep? You think she brought boyfriends over and let them beat on Aaron and send him running to get beers from the fridge like an errand boy? You think Tilda would grab Aaron by his hair hard enough to leave bald patches bad enough that Aaron would wear beanies and caps all the time? You think Aaron ever ran away with a small second hand book bag and a couple of shirts and jeans and the only toy Tilda ever got him, only to come back after two days and realize Tilda never even knew he was gone. You think Aaron loved school, not because he got to get away from home or hang out with friends, but because he gets to eat a whole meal, even if school lunches weren't that good. You think Aaron ever tried to wake up Tilda from an overdose, with shaking hands and shallow panicked breaths, he tries to stay calm enough to remember what he has to do, just give her the narcan and everything should be fine (by the third time his hands no longer shake, by the fifth he realizes he wants to be a doctor). You think on the rare occasion Aaron goes to church with Luther he can't help but make a prayer, not for a new family, not for his mom to go away, not for her to stop hitting him, but for Tilda to look at him with love, to take him out to eat, show up at his exy games, for her to be clean, for her not to die the next time she takes to much.

I was going to change the username but then I realized there was too many people it applied to so I decided to leave it up to interpretation

Sometimes it feels like everyone around me is speaking in a secret language and I'm the only one who doesn't know it.
