Apparently tonight was “get drunk and then get opinionated at Matthew Mercer on Twitter about certain CR ships” night, except for the getting drunk part, which I entirely failed to do despite buying a bottle of wine today. It’s still unopened in the fridge. Oops. Maybe I should have the wine now so I can stop feeling anxious as fuck.
(Note: I never stop feeling anxious as fuck, so hello, pointless ventures!)
All that said, it seems I have opinions about Cassandra and Kynan, so, er…yeah. Tweeted that. The key point: “If they can both heal and find understanding and get along, awesome. I just hope she also gets a chance to breathe and make some relationships and have experiences outside of the whole snarl of what destroyed her family.”
I’ll stand by that much. Even if I should have gotten my shit together and stopped writing run-on sentences.
You know, I used to like this ship, but all things considered… I don’t know. Do you know that feeling when your life is shit, like literally shit including dead and/or hospitalized relatives, and then someone wants sympathy from you for feeling a bit lost on their way? And then you don’t know whether to laugh at them or cry?
Like. I get that this ain’t the trauma olympics. But Kynan did have a hand in his own misery, did have way more of a choice in what happened to him, and it lasted a few months maybe. If Cass feels like laughing when he dramatically opens up to her, I wouldn’t blame her at all.
(There’s also the whole thing where he helped the person who helped kill and murder her family, and then also helped that person murder the family she has left. Yay.)
(My personal favorite ship for Cass is with Kaylie. Dying together is one hell of a bonding activity.)
