Me When That One Couple Doomed By The Narrative Say I Love You Without Saying I Love You (i Will Be Crying

Andrew: *Murders Ashley to keep control over her, talks about Ashley like she's his "creation", treats Julia like a sex object, doesn't get or respond to most of Ashley's gestures of affection, is accused by Ashley of not really loving her.*

Some Fans: I sleep

Ashley: *Imprisons Andrew to keep control over him, talks about Andrew like he's her toy, rapes Andrew, doesn't get or respond to Andrew's gestures of affection, is accused by Andrew of not really loving him.*

Some Fans: "See this is all proof that Ashley is a monster completely incapable of concern for others. She never loved Andrew, she just sees him as a possession to be controlled."

I really don't get why there's such a dissonance here. I typically assume it's because Decay was told so much from Andrew's perspective, but it's still really jarring.

Okegom proshippers, please interact.

I love the sibling relationship Vi has (with Ekko) and the romantic relationship Vi has (with Jinx) ((delusional))

Real #1 fans of characters sexualize their favs. 💋💋💋

Why are people still denying that Andrew Graves is a bad person, and always has been in nearly every way just like his little baby sister? Should I list examples from 3a decay?

Was it when he back handed Ashley? Or watching her get undressed through a keyhole? Was it when he admitted he didn't like anyone and never has with the exception of Ashley, and his only perogative has always been keeping up with appearances? Was it when he admitted he thought about knocking Julia's teeth out, so she would give better head? Or was it shamelessly murdering a child as a full grown man? Or when he beat Ashley senseless and then kissed her shortly after?

"But wahh wahha mean Ashley Graves forced Andrew's hand! He's a little baby victim!!!"

Can it and just admit you want to self insert yourself with a cute lil emo boy.

As much as I love the fact the incest vibe between Ashley and Andrew was so undeniable that even their mom noticed it and just could not believe that they WEREN'T screwing already, the way she acts like wanting to fuck her is the ONLY reason Andrew could ever have to side with her and sacrifice their parents to the demon pisses me off the more I think about it.

Renee literally made Andrew parent Ashley, went out of her way to make it so Andrew was the person she'd rely on for any kind of emotional support, had them share a bedroom their whole lives, then literally sold them and did not give a fuck that they would starve and die in a cruel way, having no one but each other to turn to during that torture because they could not leave the apartment.

Yet she's surprised that Andrew not only resents her, but also feels a sense of obligation to Ashley and actually cares about her in his own fucked up way - aka she failed to do as a parent because she simply could not be bothered.

She simply doesn't understand the basic concept that Ashley could have any vallue as a person, even for someone that was forced to stand by her side his entire life. She doesn't accept that Andrew could ever resent HER for everything he had to endure instead of just blaming Ashley and no one else. She doesn't get that they are trauma-bonded because she doesn't believe she traumatized the fuck out of both of them.

Also the NERVE and complete lack of self-awareness this woman has for calling Andrew disgusting for the incest, even though it was all caused by her own screw ups as a parent. Again, they slept in the same bedroom, their whole lives - childhood, adolescence and first years of adulthood. Then she had them be locked up in the apartment together. Alone. Even though she was already getting weird vibes from them for a while.

She's practically forcing them to cross that line, then gets mad when she thinks they actually did it.

Good morning, Licorice. 🥺💜

Oh yeah, I honestly respect any ship people want to have with Andrew, but my problem with the Andrew x Renee mood is that it literally makes no sense??

I mean they completely forget about the fact that Renee is the reason for the two brothers' misfortunes and just use Renee as an Ashley 2.0 with the exact same personality just a little more serious so you don't notice it lol

Same thing happens with most ocs, it's crazy to me to see people who hate gravecest/Ashley but ship Andrew with an oc that is EXACTLY the same as Ashley like ???

It's almost like... If you take Ashley out of the story the game wouldn't make sense/wouldn't be interesting!! 😱

I'm so tired of the hate Ashley Graves receives on the internet in general.

Not because I think everyone should like the character because there's no accounting for personal taste, but it's so obvious when they are just misogynists who hate Ashley but for some reason love Andrew and actively defend him for actions that both siblings committed.

Like no, Ashley did NOT force Andrew to do shit, Andrew had plenty of opportunities throughout his life to at least try to separate himself from his sister as much as possible and put a stop to Ashley's actions (example: take Ashley's harassment to Julia seriously and not just dismiss it)

The point is that he doesn't do it because he's just as bad as she is, and him blaming her for all his misfortunes is just his way of coping so he doesn't feel so bad about himself afterwards.

I know this is something a lot of people have already pointed out, but it's because I'm on Tumblr (where I only read posts from people who adore her) that I sometimes completely forget how much people actually hate her out there 💀
