It Just Hit Me The Reason I Get So Annoyed By The Anti-Atreus Whingeing I've Seen Is That Like. Chunks

It just hit me the reason I get so annoyed by the anti-Atreus whingeing I've seen is that like. Chunks of it really do place a lot of the weight and responsibility of Kratos's trauma and pain onto Atreus (he should know better than to pry about these things because of how painful they are, it's not fair for him to get mad because of xyz thing with Kratos) and like. Besties, here's the thing.

Atreus knows none of this (because his father won't tell him anything).

Kratos's secret keeping and trauma have directly impacted Atreus's life in negative ways, including being part of the cause of his childhood chronic illness (which is itself also a cornerstone of Atreus's other issues). Therefore, Atreus does kind of have a right to ask questions?? He's not prying into trauma out of cruelty, he's asking questions about things that DIRECTLY impact him. (His tone was wrong during his bastard period but the questions and frustrations themselves were not, don't @ me.)

He is a child. It is not the responsibility of a child to mollycoddle their parents, mental illness or not. Yes, what Kratos has been through is real and painful but he's the adult parent here. It's HIS responsibility to make sure that his shit doesn't hurt his son. It's not his son's responsibility to handle that shit for him.

My Thoughts on 2x04

Alright, so I’m back from rewatching the episode and I gotta say, this is my LEAST favorite episode by far:

1) Elliot being fuckin grimy as hell. Like the fact that he not only broke the bro code and made out with Rue’s gf, but then snitch on her?? Then trying to play innocent like “I just got tired of lying to you 🥺🥺 I’m so sorry” like bruh, fuck off. I actually liked Elliot at first thought he was cool the first two episodes but the more he opens his mouth, the more I begin to dislike him 💀

2) I absolutely HATE what Sam’s doing with Kay’s character. Like seriously, if we’re not not hearing her whine about how much she hates being with Ethan, we don’t see much of her at all throughout the episodes, and she only had like 5 lines this episode

3) Cassie being Cassie, and completely over the whole love triangle within their storylines. Her getting so drunk to a point where she starts throwing up on everyone and completely losing it, while her mom does nothing? (Although, what can you expect from her when she’s an alcoholic)

4) Fezco barely being in the episode at all, and I just KNEW we were gonna be well fed with Lexco content tonight lmao at this point I feel like all we have left is them having their lil moment on the couch and that being that

5) They gave Cal wayyyy too much screen time than needed. Like, the man is a predator…no one wants to see this fuckin creep take up majority of the episode with him having a fucking meltdown over how he hates his family. I hope he stays gone after this episode

6) Jules cheating on Rue, not only after disliking the fact that she and Elliot were even friends, but after going on about how she was no longer interested in men 🙃🙃 plus her getting upset at Rue for drinking when it was stupid to have her tag along in the first place, knowing that she’s an addict. I don’t hate Jules, but I don’t know if I can defend her anymore lol

7) Is it just me, or do a lot of scenes get cut and not make it to the episode??? Like, wasn’t there supposed to be a scene where the girls are all taking a picture on the staircase (or did I miss that part?) then I could’ve SWORN we were supposed to get at least another scene with Fezco, which also makes me wonder why we didn’t get that couch scene with him and Lexi. I would hope it didn’t get cut out, because what was the point of hyping them up so much in the trailers?

Overall, I’m dissatisfied with tonight’s episode and the storyline just gets progressively worse week by week, and I have a huge feeling that by the time we reach episode 8, we will NOT be happy. In conclusion, I’m gonna have to give this episode a 3/10

Headcanon:

Fez put a whole GPS on Lexi's bike so he knows when she gets home safe.

Like the man has one of those apps for parents and everything.

El getting her strength from love rather than sadness and anger like she usually did is something that should be celebrated rather than get called "corny" or whatever just because your ship didn't work out
