#thinking about how fatin is so worried about leah's instability and how much she cares about her and how it personally feels diminished #when people ascribe romantic feelings to it...like it feels so much lesser #fatin cares about all the girls so deeply and loves them so fiercely and it's one of the main draws of her to me esp given how it contrasts #with her pre-island self who wouldn't let herself bond with other women because of the effort and emotions it would involve #(I'd argue she doesn't have meaningful relationships with men either but they're 'easier' in that she only seeks those who're content #with just casual sex) #i was open to romantic leatin but the more i rewatch the wilds and the more i see posts from leatin fans the more i begin to dislike it #they way fans treat fatin's relationship to leah...feels like such a disservice to fatin #like relationships in media are supposed to further a character and give them more complexity...leatin feels like it diminishes her #the way fatin treats leah is how she would treat any of the other girls she's bonded with if they were as unstable as her...like god look #at how gently she handles martha and shelby #and i can't get over how fiercely protective she was of rachel (and it KILLS me when people make it out as if her reaction was BECAUSE of #Leah and not like the girl she was actually??? protecting??? her relationship w/ leah plays a role in this ofc but it's so annoying how #quick people ignore Fatin's relationship with Rachel #jfc) #the thing is that martha and shelby have people closer to them so Fatin's not going to be there 100% of the time #meanwhile Fatin and Leah go to the same school so Fatin has this sort of responsibility towards Leah #not that she wouldn't take care of her even without this responsibility but like...Fatin's more obliged to help Leah out due to their #shared background #I'm not looking to lessen Fatin's relationship with Leah tho like from a platonic lens what they have together is so fucking special #but the same thing goes for Fatin's relationships with all the other girls and it literally kills me how 95% of the conversation around her #now is about how she and Leah should get together #at this point Fatin's relationship with literally anyone else is more interesting to me
