One of the many things I find fascinating and heartbreaking about Atreus and Sindri is that their friendship is built on two entirely different foundations, and two entirely different love experiences.

For Atreus, Sindri is a friend, but he’s also a means to an end. He can’t go sneaking around by himself, so he drags Sindri along for help. When he was traveling with Kratos, Sindri was there for gear and weapons. With his own father treating him as a tool to be sharpened and used, Atreus does similar to Sindri. He’s useful, and so Atreus makes use of him. With Faye dying when he was so young, Kratos’ ‘love’ is all that Atreus really knows now. We see how impressionable he is as a youth, it’s not hard to imagine that he adopted a lot more of his father’s mannerisms over the years between Faye’s death and Ragnarök. It’s all he knows, and it’s how he loves.

For Sindri, Atreus is a friend, but he’s also a client, a boss. With the exception of Faye, it’s safe to assume that Sindri (and Brok) experienced quite a lot of demanding Aesir clients. Odin and Thor? Yeah, things most definitely got rough when deadlines were approaching. He’s used to people demanding things. A Greek god with a rap sheet as long as the World Serpent comes in demanding stuff? Was married to one of the few Norse who treated you well? Yeah, you’ll treat him kindly. You’ll hand the stuff over! We see it in how Sindri acts with Atreus: he never truly once acts like the leader, the one in charge. He’s always submissive, even when voicing his displeasure and hesitation.

On top of that, Sindri is used to Brok and his loud, no-nonsense demeanor. Atreus has similar traits, being brash and blunt at times. For Sindri, it’s entirely possible that some of the wisdom he passes to Atreus were things also said to Brok.

Throughout Ragnarök, Sindri gives up everything. His home, the source of his wealth, privacy and the cleanliness of the one place that was left sacred to him. Submissive, helpful, a tool to be used. And yet, despite handing over everything, letting more and more people in, they can’t protect the one thing he had left, the one thing he had refused to let go of before: his brother.

With Brok gone, Sindri is left with the rug yanked out from under him. He believes his worth is nothing to the heroes, he’s just a means to an end. And Atreus had helped with that, by treating him as such. Because it’s all he knew.

Atreus and Sindri were definitely friends, I firmly believe that. They just were products of their lives, their pasts, and they couldn’t express their care for each other in healthy ways.

So this dumb cunt is back at her bullshit

You had to use a meme maker to make this shit @watchingtheearthrise?

You're such a useless uncreative hack you can't even edit a image in fucking paint?

Also you don't have to watermark your shitty meme I don't think anyone is stealing this one from you any time soon.

That's fine I can make dumb spongebob memes too

There.

Took me 5 seconds in photoshop.

You know I've been in this fandom a real long time and I don't think a single fucking one of us thinks that Ben was using jedi mind tricks on Rey during the interrogation scene in The Force Awakens.

I've heard the ol' 'Oh my god he's mind raping her' plenty of times but this is a new one.

Where are you even pulling this shit out of your asshole? I swear to fucking god you antis think of the most stupid random fucking shit to get mad at this fandom over.

Hey, really quick @watchingtheearthrise, could you tell me again who won the mind probe battle at the end of that scene?

Because it wasn't Kylo.

Anyways, fix your fucking tags and get the fuck out of this fandom. Why the fuck are you in this fandom's space every few weeks being the most massive pile of shit? Why the fuck are you this fucking obsessed with reylo? Do you secretly love reylo but feel shame for enjoying it? If that's the case you need to talk to a fucking therapist about that shit man don't make it our fucking problem.

No one invited you here. In fact we would really like it if you fucking left and never came back.

But you'll never do that because you stupid fucking antis never fucking change. You'll die a bitter heartless cunt rather than just let some harmless people enjoy some fictional media that doesn't affect you at all.

Get a fucking hobby.

You know what? What if you took all that extra time you spend being a useless dickweed to the people in this fandom and instead used it learning how to use a photo editor?

Fuckit man.

I'm tired of this person doing this shit.

Reylos, I don't ask this very often but if you're an active member of this fandom and you're tired of seeing anti hate from this user who has been doing this shit since 2022 then go to this user's account and report them.

You can report them for harassment and report that they're harassing someone else for it to be done quickly but if you want to be more thorough here are a few extra links of them harassing this fandom that you can add to your harassment report:

I have no idea who that is sorry

#ask #anonymous #looks like they're an anti so I'd pay no attention to them

Bear McCreary is a genius with his work for God of War and the fact that Kratos, Atreus & Faye’s theme all sound so different and yet use similar notes and blend so well together to show how they’re all different and yet they’re a family…

I love these games so much.

If your reaction/response to finding out someone is a minor in your space is to recommend them dark romance/smut, I’m going to need you to get off the internet forever.

The trope-ification of fiction is just…tiring to me.

Like to each their own, but when I read I want substance. I don’t want a series of tropes connected by a thin thread of what’s supposed to be a plotline.

I was looking up some books to add to my TBR and there’s literal stories out there that are just titled after tropes? Like along the lines of ‘Grumpy Man and Sunshine Girl’ and whatever (not the actual title from what I can remember).

Not to mention I read an article a while ago of an author who’s semi-popular saying she needs her agent/editor to feed her tropes so she knows what to write like c’mon.

And, right now, I’m reading a book that had an AMAZING premise and promised story—but I’m almost halfway through and said story has not even started and it’s just a bunch of tropes: Foul-Mouthed Man and Innocent Princess (some lackluster HanLeia that really just made me hate both characters it’s a painful read now), Insta-Lust disguised as ETL, Forced Proximity, etc.. I’m so mad. The story sounded so good. I just might write it out of spite.

Like?? Have we really strayed that far?? Has society really fallen that far that they can’t read things without obvious tropes?

saw some people claiming that cait corrain isn’t or is “barely” a reylo and while i do not think she’s representative of the fandom as a whole, that’s just wildly incorrect. she had a very popular fic called play to win that was an esports au and she used to cosplay reylo stuff all the time. you can still see it if you search her old ig handle commandercait.

Right. I had heard of that and discussed it very briefly over on Twitter/X (like maybe a half post idk, I’ve been busy with other stuff the past couple days).

It brings up some good discussion, though. I’ve seen a handful of shippers claiming that Cait “is no longer a Reylo” and all that jazz. And they’ve said this because of the drama, and not really before? (I’ve looked around a bit, her books are in lists of “Reylo authors” on Goodreads for example). But…who decides who is or isn’t part of a fandom anymore?

Starting down that trend just makes it a slippery slope: Who decides it? Who do they give that power? Will the others accept that? When does it turn from ‘overseeing’ to bullying? Will people get ‘exiled’ just because?

As we know, the internet is forever. You can’t just cut ties with things—especially someone else’s ties with fandom. They aren’t yours to cut. And, even though I’ve seen plenty of people, plenty of times, arguing that they’ve “cut off” and “kicked out” people from their fandom, said problematic people’s actions still hang onto the fandom like a shadow. I don’t think I’ve seen a fandom (and this includes anti-ship fandom) that doesn’t have at least one problematic event/person in its past.

And, yes, she isn’t the sole rep of the fandom at large. It’s unfortunate that the authors she* chose to attack got attacked, and I’m glad to see not only the Reylo fandom but book readers at large coming in to support them.

(*While evidence points to it being Cait alone, with rumors of it being a ‘friend’ of hers still swirling, I won’t settle on a 100% belief it was either of them until I hear/see proof for either case)

JOIN YOUR LOCAL BOOK CLUB!!!

Seriously joining my library’s book club was the absolute BEST idea I’ve had in the past year. Not only do I get to hang out at my library and talk about books every month, I’ve gotten exposed to so many different stories and authors and really expanded my book horizons!

You’ll find other book nerds and readers just like you, you can sit down and have tea and discuss themes, characters, plots, etc. We even take a few minutes at the beginning to talk about other things that we’ve read before reading the book of the month.

Join a book club! Read more books! Support your libraries! It’ll honestly make your librarians’ day to see so many people interested!

#watchingtheearthrise #support your local library #support your local libraries kiddos #I can’t stress it enough

For a community so steeped in sexual content you’d think Booktok would understand the concept of ‘consent’ but nooo they do not.

They said that we both were too different

That all of the shine would fade away

But I wish that I never listened

'Cause you pulled me through the grey

There’s this dude that I’ve beefed with on Twitter a few times that’s getting really desperate to prove himself right like Lmaooo it’s tragic to watch at this point.

Friends who follow me there will remember ‘The Slayer’ of course.

For those who are unaware: he’s a self-professed troll who claimed at one point to being paid to harass ‘Antireylos’ on the blue bird hellscape. Because that’s a thing? Anyway, every time someone would block him after he camped in their mentions for days on end, he’d claim that he ‘slayed another anti’. Of course, being me, I left him unblocked and challenged him a few times purely out of spite. He avoids me now. It’s hilarious XD

Anyway, he’s now replying to random posts from May and April, crowing about how he’s going to ‘win as a Ben Solo fan’ and that he ‘can’t wait for everyone to delete their accounts’ like bruh the fact that you’re combing through months old posts and trying to start beef smells like someone who’s scrambling to stay relevant.

He hasn’t gotten to my tweets yet. Like I said, he avoids me. I think he’s scared of me. Lmao.

Like I like some ETL ships and have definitely written a few but there are some pairings where I just…never understood why.

Like why on earth would this barely out of her teens girl be so infatuated already with an adult man at least ten years older than her and who’s actively harmed/killed people she cares for and/or colonized her homeland?

Like???

You all okay over there??

The amount of times I’ve thrown a bottle of poison at my party instead of a healing potion has been too many and I would like to apologize to each and every one of them.
