Girl Genius really just went straight from gently teasing an Agatha/Gil/Tarvek OT3 to "actually, the setting's major players are under the impression that this is already the case, and the political implications of that scare the hell out of them" with absolutely no preamble.

You heard her folks!

GOSSIP GIRL (2021) 2.01 | Deb Brawl in a Blue Dress

this part.... 😂

GOSSIP GIRL HBO | 2.01

new episode was so refreshing! it really was something special and it finally brought insecurities of the triad to another level. they are finally communicating and discussing their feelings. would that have been better if that happened sooner? yes. wouldn’t that be great if they discussed rules for doing it in couples beforehand? definitely. but also let’s not forget that they are teenagers entering their first polyamory relationships. they could and they totally should make mistakes, argue, have insecurities - that’s how relationships work.

however, i am really disappointed with some akimax shippers as they try to villainize audrey and her not being okay with her boyfriends having sex. it’s not her fault that she feels this way and it’s definitely not something that she should be hated for. she’s what sixteen. she saw her parents getting divorced because the third person was involved, she saw her mother losing it because of their separation. i think that her insecurities have solid ground.

some fans saying that audrey is a bitch and boys should hookup behind her back is really childish. audrey's issues are complex and it’s not something so simple that she can get rid of in a minute. she will always be afraid of being left out because that’s exactly what she was seeing when growing up. audge makes tons of mistakes but she is allowed to feel what she feels. moreover, i think that aki and max are both wrong in the occurred situation. their biggest issue is lack of communication indeed because they don’t even tell audrey that they are not going to aspen. basically, she, like every sane person, thinks that they are keeping something from her. also, there is a scene where audrey is walking out of class and she was definitely expecting to see someone waiting for her. what she sees instead? aki and max being lovey-dovey in the school yard. yes, they are allowed to be this way because they are in relationships, but try thinking as a sixteen years old girl with a baggage of insecurities.

basically this whole rant is about encoraging people to be more supportive of audrey because starting from season one a lot of people here and on twitter are acting like she is the main issue on why akimax are not together. and it’s okay to ship akimax or maudrey or akidrey, but it is not okay to act like one person in the triad is an extra and the other two should live him or her.  that’s toxic. 

NOOOOOO WHAT FHE SHIT

literally living for that scene of max introducing his bf aki and his gf audrey to his german friends tbh

This one also has great energy for a meme, but it's longer. I hope the grump animators love this episode 🤞

All I’m saying is you’re special, and if -- if they can’t see that, at least you have to, right?

Aki: Brit and Zal did ask me to shadow them this summer. Ingrid laughs delightedly. Ingrid: You said yes, right? Aki: Audrey and Max and I have this trip planned. Ingrid: Dude, who are you living for? Aki: They’re my partners. Ingrid: Where are they, then? I mean, this whole weekend, they barely showed. You might be their partner, but are they yours?]

I support women’s rights and women’s wrongs, so I wrote about how Gossip Girl Season 2 embraces both with Monet de Haan’s rule.

And if you like the article and have a second to spare, any engagement on Twitter is super helpful. Thanks!

so, anyone is up for discussing triad situation after new episode? spoilers ahead!

personally, i like the way the writers handle their issues. it is not cheating related, it is not a betrayal of any kind. they have a normal struggles like one partner is not enjoying other partner’s interests. it is so mundane and it shocked me in a good way

it was always known that max likes schemes as well as audrey, so they scheming together felt natural. however, them leaving aki and making him basically invisible is really sad to watch. since the first season aki’s interests as well as his character was pushed in the back and, let’s be honest, that is the first episode where we can see that aki is really into film art by seeing it and not by him casually referring to some movie. so watching aki be his confident self and rocking tribecca festival is so refreshing and cool

audrey’s reasoning for taking down her father and his new girlfriend is understandable. and i can even justify her focusing on this thing instead of thinking about aki’s thing because it was always shown that she cannot rest when her mother is struggling. so she focusses her energy on revenge instead of controlling her mother and not leaving her side.

so i understand both of them and can really put myself in each’s shoes. as for max, it is really clear that he is good at scheming and he knows how family issues can affect a person. also, let’s not forget that this is his first relationship experience, so being there for a partner when one is pursuing their interest is a new thing to him.

i love aki with my whole heart and everyone knows that i am a triad supporter and i will always be on their team, but hear me out. seeing them have an issue without adding cheating or two of them getting closer emotionally or sexually is so good. i was really afraid that the writers will go with an easy road by letting two getting closer and one being left behind. however, them having an argument in which one feels that others are not giving him hundred percent adds much more complexity to their relationship. so i am waiting to see more

also, i plan on writing a review for all episodes that aired, so that is not the last time you see me talking about triad lol
