Yesterday I had a friend tell me how one of her close friends has a whole bunch of succulents, and she has given each one the name of her close friends. She nurses them, takes care of them, talks to them, and if one ever starts to get sick or not grow well, she talks to the friend in question and something is almost always bothering them.
And if that isn’t one of the cutest examples of subtle green witchcraft I don’t know what is.
This is the sort of plant magic I support entirely!
I personally would have liked to have seen more of Ram’s grieving process before he started going out with April. I mean, I don’t mind if they had set out for them to be a couple from the beginning but if you’re going to write a character experiencing a major loss like Ram losing his girlfriend, don’t make them jump to someone new within the same month. It then comes off like they’re trying to mask their grief by immediately going to another person.
I thought they were dealing with Ram’s grieving and PTSD quite well until Co Owner of a Lonely Heart. I had hoped they were going to use the kiss in Nightvisiting to show how confused and lonely he maybe feels after what happened at Prom but…nope. It all just seems to have evaporated.
Did anyone else have a problem with this or is it just me? Because I haven’t seen it discussed much in the Class feed?
Ram, episodes 1,2,&3 : *his girlfriend Rachel is killed in front of him by an alien* *blood everywhere* *can’t overcome the trauma* *misses her* *cries* *cries more* *emotionally unstable*
Ram, episode 4: *sex with April* To April: “The Shadow Kin wants you heart. And that’s one battleground where I can guarantee you he is going to lose”
I love Class but I’m worried…I’m worried about my morally black and white awkward princeling Charlie doing something monumentally stupid like the eye-for-an-eye genocidal plan, I’m worried about my tol gay son Matteusz being killed to push Charlie over the edge or their relationship crumbling because Charlie hit’s the big red button. I’m worried about my baby warrior queen having a freaking breakdown on an alien world. I’m worried about Ram, my sweet summer child, stuck on an alien world. I’m worried about Ram’s dad, actually superhero father of the year award right there, worried about his baby. I’m worried about my bitter salt queen Quill getting taken for a ride by the pretty matrix red dress chick.
…I’m not worried about Tanya though. Tanya’s got her shit together, give my genius daughter some gold stars.
…also correct me if I’m wrong here, I’m not a disabled individual so I got no clue if I’m right (probably not) but doesn’t the insta-heal of April’s mum not send a great message? I’m probably being a numpty here but I thought April’s mum was good representation and now…I dunno, clue me in people. Am I being an idiot or not?
I am actually genuinely worried about the show right now though, I see the predictable plots and I’m holding onto hope that they didn’t go down those routes and I don’t have to abandon another fandom. I’m a fandom grandma, I’m too old for this shit. Just let me nest in a good fandom ppplllleeeeaaaseee.
Sometimes, even after you find the words to describe yourself, you will feel broken. Sometimes, even knowing you’re ace, it will be hard to feel like that’s okay. You’re not bad for feeling that way.
On those days, you will still be deserving of love. You will still be deserving of respect. You still belong here, even if you can’t be positive and proud all the time, even if you can’t be positive and proud at all. We will still love you. We will still support you. You will still have a place with us, and someone to talk to whenever you need it.
