You Guys Are Defending Mari When She Literally Walked All The Way To Civilization Without Them Just To

Inside the Mighty Beef

Fanfiction literally cannot "normalize" anything. Fanfiction is a weird little niche and fics are not something with massive cultural impact.

thoughts on transfem zevran arainai

i don't believe in genderbends or whatever so if she wants to be transfem she could be transfem. everything is possible as long as there's love on the planet earth. zevran could also benefit from being armenian but that's my own agenda

GHOST JACKIE WAS TRYING TO SAVE THAT MAN’S LIFE

sorry if this is controversial but if you’re rude to cashiers i think you should. idk. Explode

Natalie’s entire life was about giving everything she had to others and getting nothing in return.

She hiked for miles in subzero temperatures just to find something to hunt and feed the group, and instead of being met with gratitude, she was blamed when the food ran out.

She extended compassion and support to everyone else when they needed it (comforting Lottie in the middle of the night, holding Shauna’s hand and never leaving her side throughout her labor, understanding Travis’ grief when no one else would) and yet she is always completely alone in her own moments of suffering.

She took on the burden of leadership even while still reeling from the trauma of Javi’s death and the cabin fire, guiding the group out of one of their darkest times. She guided them in building shelter and creating a thriving community. And they repaid her by pushing her to the ground, calling her a murderer, stripping her of her leadership role, and forcing her to butcher the body of her only father figure— whom she had just killed out of mercy and necessity for the group, so that no one else would have to bear the burden of his blood on their hands.

She risked everything to carry out an elaborate plan to get everyone rescued—climbing a mountain, contacting help, ultimately saving all of their lives—and still, in the adult timeline, they treat her like she’s beneath them.

She literally died as a sacrifice so the rest of them could keep living and all she got was a 1 minute funeral.

I always wonder how Nat would've reacted if Misty where the one who died instead.

This is really interesting to think about actually. I think Nat would have a very complicated grief response, in line with how complicated Misty and Nat’s dynamic always was. I think it would hit her a lot harder than she would have expected, I think she would actually be quite devastated by it but also confused and frustrated at herself for grieving so deeply (“Why am I grieving when this person destroyed my life and was absolutely fucking insane?”). I think, outwardly, she would actually be kind of embarrassed to be that devastated over losing Misty and would probably try to hide it from the others, but I think she would have some private breakdowns about it for sure.

Misty hurt Nat in many ways, but beneath that anger, I think there was always a part of her that knew Misty was someone who, for all her faults, did care in her own twisted way. And Nat didn’t have many people who genuinely cared about her. Misty was one of the few people in that group who truly saw Nat—not always in a healthy way, but in a way that felt real. There is so much history between them and we haven’t even seen it all yet.
