#marrying the heir to racisim factory and thinking thats not gonna go badly had some serious wishful thinking involved

I've been thinking a lot about Rava lately for some reason. Do you have any Rava headcanons? Do you think her and Stewy have ever gotten along, or do you think there's always just been contempt?

hiiiii richard <3

ultimately i think rava is a good girl from a good family who’s actually not that good of a girl from not that good of a family

i Do think stewy and rava got along before she and kendall got married, i dont think they were ever close or more than amicable cuz i really just dont think their each other’s type (platonically (or otherwise)) like stewy thinks rava is boring and rava thinks stewy is an asshole and they’re both correct respectively.

i dont think the contempt settled in until kendall and rava got married, and no not because of jealousy but yes because of each of their relationships to kendall. rava thinks stewy enables kendall, while stewy thinks rava thinks she can save/change kendall. and they’re both a little bit wrong. stewy’s not so much enabling kendall as he is taking care of him in his own insane way. there’s definitely still a selfish element; kendall high or at a party or up to whatever no good with stewy is probably closer to a real version of kendall than stewy gets otherwise + those things pertain really well to stewy’s own personal interests, but its an outlet and a freedom for kendall too. im sure at some point the line of thinking to stewy became: kendall will either be high or dead. so stewy is ready to feed him sex drugs and money forever because he prefers kendall alive.

for rava, i dont think rava thinks she can save or change kendall because she didn’t see kendall as needing saving or changing when she first met him/fell in love with him/married him. i think the kendall she knew was a kendall she thought could and would do all the things he says he can and will do — become heir, change the company, change the world — because she knew him/loved him/married him when a lot of that was still so possible. i think the fundamental difference between rava and stewy is that rava met and got to know kendall when he was at his least attached to logan (in college) and stewy met and got to know kendall when he was at his most attached to logan (in childhood). she just couldn’t know what she was deadling with, probably thought she and kendall were the same; a shitty dad that they ultimately want to break free of. kendall in college, sure had the trauma, but be also had time. waystar was well within reach, there was no reason to think he wouldn’t get everything he wanted and do everything he wanted, he hadnt been blue balled of his destiny for 20 years yet. if we’re to assume they got married in their early twenties then this still stands. i imagine as time went on and logan persisted and the festering festered, whatever kendall she believed in went with it. and from there it wasn’t about saving him, but just about letting him go. i think rava takes her relationship with kendall as a responsibility; she owns up to having married him and having had children with him, even if it turned out to be misguided, by continuing to be in his life cordially as possible and keeping a relationship between him and the kids. ultimately she just kind of got bamboozled a little bit, which isn’t really anyone’s fault entirely. i think they were just two kids in real love but in over their heads

#as much as kendall is definitively a shit dad and a shit husband i’ve never seen rava as a total victim cuz at the end of the day. #marrying the heir to racisim factory and thinking thats not gonna go badly had some serious wishful thinking involved #but she’s also definitely not at equal fault in the deterioration of their marriage #unfortunately i just think rava fell in love with and married kendall without the context #and anyone with the context (like stewy) would know how bad of an idea that was #thank u for the ask <3 #ask #m
