Part 3

Thanatos was raised as a human. Not matter how robotic his mind and body may be, there’s still humanity in him.

Seriously tho I love this post so much

Ok I gotta talk about apotheosis again cuz it’s so good and the characters are amazing. And as much as I want to write a thesis on how Peter could become more powerful than all of them, or Rumi’s need for perfection, I really wanna talk about Thanatos.

Cuz Thanatos is the softest motherfucker in the whole crew.

Don’t laugh yet, hear me out.

The man (robot?) gave up the opportunity to kill a god with his bare hands so Peter could feel a bit more powerful. That’s honestly a big deal for his character. He is created to kill gods, but when Peter asks if he could finish him, Thanatos relents and circumvents his programming. A god still dies, so his program is satisfied, but he’s not the one to do it.

And that seems to be the case with a lot of his actions. His instincts, his heart, is covered by the cold logic of his programming. And honestly, I’m talking about the bear jacket. He didn’t need to try and make Rumi and Peter jackets. That’s not furthering his goal. Neither of them have shown any indication of needing a coat. Rumi would die before he was caught shivering and with Exandroths affinity for fire it’s a wonder Peter knows what cold is. There’s no reason for it, no logic, but Thanatos cares about them. He wants to help them, even by providing just some little creature comforts. It wouldn’t surprise me if in his childhood he had a lot of fur coats or blankets. It’s simultaneously trivial and meaningful.

So that brings us to his sister. And this highlights exactly how much he cares. Cuz he can’t bring himself to say her name. I think he’s said it once or twice, but he keeps distancing himself from her. He still loves her. Denying it and distancing himself from the person he knew is a coping mechanism to protect his painfully soft heart. Even though it’s a point of pride for him to be a godslayer, when it comes to the blight of faith, there is no honor, no glory. He still loves her, like any good brother.

That’s why Rumi’s hope, and his pleads for Thanatos to give the blights a chance, to give Thanatos himself a chance fall on deaf ears. He loves too much. And hope hurts.

It’s not that he’s too tough, or too cold to accept Rumi’s suggestions. It’s that the hope there could be a happy ending for him, or for anyone he loves would hurt him far too much.

Hello fellow Guardians ✨️

I really love(d) these places, and I loved that Mercury had Future, Past and Present – so I wanna share the love for it by sharing the screenshots I hold very dear

It’s also the fact that none of the other actors ever said shit. Like?? Sure Oscar and Kelly had their racist shit going on but the HUGE, LOUD campaigns against John were truly the most disgusting shit I’ve ever seen hurled at an actor. Also Adam?? And Daisy??? Daisy “This is my best friend I call him my peanut” Ridley??? Aka the most beloved of the trilogy the bitches with the biggest fucking privilege who would’ve had basically ZERO repercussions for speaking out. Nobody made so much as a TWEET of support saying “hey don’t call my cast mate slurs” like?? John had to deal with all of the racist bullshit on his fucking own and it makes me sick that he never got so much as a dime of support from anybody on the set it’s disgusting.

Y'all I'm back at it again with more lore, this time from Timeworn Wayfarer. And it is 🥹🥹

THEY ARE SO BESTIES CODED I MISS THEM TO MUCHHH !!! i know the pd gang just left them but oh my god i hope we see them again soon they mean so much to me :(

y’know, it’s way cheaper than a typical FTM bottom surgery. Shout out Asmodeus, trans ally?

That’s the thing!! Demons would be not only allies but also extremely queer themselves!!! That’s another reason why the aggressively conventional cishet vibes of that Etsy rabbit hole were so weird!!!!

Love without Sex

I’m doing a Philosophy paper on Asexuality. Please reblog if you think Love without Sex is possible! I really need the data. Like if you think love has to have sex.
