my only complaint about dimension 20's trans rep, truly the only one because they are doing so so well, is their approach to characters (npcs) that use she/they or he/they pronouns. it feels very performative, without this set of pronouns being used. both for cassandra in FHJY and for bennett in burrow's end i haven't caught a single use of they/them pronouns. purely the first set. and at this point they might as well not include the 'they'.
it just feels so disheartening to see characters with multiple pronouns but only the "easier" one being used.
I think, in a world where Geoffery is alive, Tula still fucks Bennett, but the three of them get very polycule very quickly. We don't actually know Geoffery's personality but if he wanted to date Tula in her hoe phase, he woulda tapped Bennett, and thats that.
the way Bennett said Tula, soft and shaky, when he had just been commanding so much presence and strength. oh my god. i was ready to write off the ship being canon. accept that the chips fell where they did, and it's unfortunate but how life goes.
A family can be: Two dead moms, a failed cult leader, an actual cult leader, the karate kid, his sister who is the first stoat professionally diagnosed with autism, three babies, a fucked up dog, dead mom 2’s hot boyfriend, a congested deus ex machina, and a teenage lesbian.
what if I made up Bennet's entire personality from the little we've got and wrote a fic about him and his initial thoughts of stupendous stoats? what then?
The thing i have to say about Bennett comparing the Stoatagonists to the First Ones, he's not exactly wrong
Is it a completely accurate comparison? No
However... from his point of view: this strange ass family came up to his city, tried to force their traditions onto others, refused to learn new traditions, snuck into places they weren't supposed to go, killed MULTIPLE people INCLUDING THE LEADERS, and stole a symbol of their power and attempted to use it against their citizens
I'm just saying.... Bennett had a pretty rational reaction
And once Tula explained the circumstances, and gave him context which he was missing, he got onboard, if begrudgingly
look i know i’m behind but i think ava was on the money - bennett and tula would be cute like he’s rugged and polite and cute and powerful and fiercesome and also real nice to her
I have posted nothing really about Burrow's End but thats because after each episode I'm processing intense emotions about my childhood and humanity's effect on the environment.
actually very funny to consider this from bennet's pov. like this hot single mom and her extended family move into your apartment complex after helping you out at your job and she kisses your ouchie better literally at your first meeting. and then not even 48 hours later she and her group have killed all four of your presidents. and she's Still flirting with you. what the fuck
