#kotlc #kotlc aldella #kotlc vackers #kotlc della #kotlc alden #alden vacker #della vacker #does it matter that i kinda headcanon them to be slightly toxic? no no it does not thanks for asking #they could be so interesting if their relationship was explored more in-depth #and i am NOT saying it's shannon's fault that it hasn't been explored btw i am NOT blaming shannon #obviously since the story is told through sophie's eyes we only get what she sees but augh i want more #hanging my hopes on that short story collection shannon claims she'll write after the series is over #i want more of them from THEIR perspective #just! the lack of trust! the regret! the performative (imo) relationship! the strangely idealistic marriage! the emphasis on beauty! #and! the stiffness around each other! going through the motions! doing their part in the relationship but something feels off! #it's so good i need more i need them to be more fucked up i need them to be more toxic #but in the end they still love each other (or at least they think they do) but it's . . . warped (maybe they really DO love each other?) #the perfect marriage with the perfect children in the perfect family . . . will the facade last . . . and is it really even a facade #just #THEM #they need to be head over heels for each other and yet it's performative at the same time do you see the vision tell me you see the vision #they each NEED to have a side the other has never seen and nobody else has ever seen and they are each terrified of it #and don't want the other to know #because then they'll be less perfect but in reality telling each other would make them stronger do you see what i see #the two-faced-ness would make them more fucked up and less fucked up all at once because they are scared of it but it brings them closer #*shakes you* DO YOU UNDERSTAND TELL ME YOU UNDERSTAND #anyway #*scoots away from you* totally normal about aldella nothing going on here nope no siree
