yeah, it's just one of those things i cant stand for whatever reason in my mind (it just really squicks me and i can't blacklist it enough on tumblr cause i just really really don't want anything to do with the d.va ships that are like that) now if d.va was like in her mid-to-late 20s, i wouldn't have a problem with it, but idk,,,,, and lmfao yeah but then again The Straights™ will probably always be like that, since that trope is like a drug to them
they really are, and tbh that bullying growing up definitely affected my mental health all the way up to present day, it's fun :^)
{ Tumblr || Flight Rising }Make me a pretty snow angel !
I mean, you have good reasoning. Someone that young shouldn't be dating someone that old :p That at the "forbidden love" trope, except, they've run out of reasons as to why the two pretty, perfectly healthy in every way, skinny/fit white people can't be together. Not like they will bring in racism, or Hades forbid, make it a queer relationship. "These two are perfect in every way, but uhm... uuuuuhm... one is from the wrong side of town !!!!" Like ??? Why ??? Why not, oh I don't know, one has a racist as shit parent and at the end of the story is cut off for being a dick ? Or, iunno, a trans!princess and the prince runs off and they rule a kingdom that later takes over their failed parents' kingdom ?
"Let them be bullied, toughens them up and adds character." ... Ah yes, now I have trouble being affectionate and suffer from everlasting mental health problems. Much character. Such tough.
at least you agree with me in some manner xD; there's people who viciously defend d.va ships and im like.... holy fuck LMAO ikr "IT'S FORBIDDEN LOVE, THEIR PARENTS DON'T AGREE!!! but both of them are white, straight, and perfectly normal" like y'all.... i dunno how i can explain this to you but..... that's called having shit parents, not forbidden love. have a "i don't think you tried at all" star sticker and try it again, with more gayness and interracial couples that actually get a happy ending
aaaah yes, i've built so much character from being bullied!! like how i have troubles asking my manager questions about what i'm supposed to do for my shift, or pull her away from her own work for cash pickups or help with a customer because i feel like i'm being a bother to her!
or the ever-wonderful stress breakdown i had two weeks ago on the sales floor because i felt like i was doing a horrible job with the nine things of candy i had to stock, plus the three other carts of candy that needed stocked, PLUS the boxes of candy that needed to be opened and stocked and my manager and other coworker had to come help with it and i could physically feel the disappointment in my manager's voice when she was speaking to the point that i had to go to the breakroom and cry for 20 minutes!!!! MENTAL ILLNESS FROM BULLYING BUILDS CHARACTER THOUGH GUYS
{ Tumblr || Flight Rising }I DO AGREE ! But I am lenient with fictional characters, so long as one isn't underage. And it isn't unhealthy glares at people with their gross unhealthy ships RIGHT ? Like man, there are so many ways to bring the trope into modern worlds. Hell, there are ways to keep them pretty and white. Gay ? Trans ? Disabled ? IMAGINE THAT. I am so, so over tragic endings. Especially in lgbt+ stories. I don't watch many because of that (and because fantasy, sci-fi, supernatural, and horror are my preferred genres that never happen in lgbt+ films).
Aaaw QnQ Hugs
If not, you will have to shovel it all into a pile and do an angel. An angel must be had.
oh godddddd the gross unhealthy ships make me lose years of my life. like what the fuck y'all how hard is it to have a healthy relationship???? i s2fg i still read (and write) tragic ending things because i've sold my soul to angsty shit but having happy fluffy endings is great too, esp. with the shit we lgbt+ people have to go thru on a daily basis. there's a time and place for the angst, throwing it in for shock value that doesn't push the story forward is just a weak way to get emotions out of your readers.
retail is fun lol ;A;
{ Tumblr || Flight Rising }QnQ
Movies and shows romanticize unhealthy relationships so much, and now shippers force them into same-sex ships. STOOOOOP Oh, I totally read, and think some terribly tragic things. But shows need to drop the SHOCK DISMAY SAD TORTURED GAYS shit, leave those to non-canon story tellers.
yEAH like oh my god ESPECIALLY the trope of just assuming things because one half of the pair heard something and misinterpreted it and they get in an argument or something and the other half can't explain it to the upset person because the upset person won't listen to them like,,,,, I KNOW that's a thing that definitely happens IRL because it's so easy to do that but communication is everything in a relationship, like c'mon!!! at least let them reconcile afterwards and apologize to each other jfc
yeaaaaa especially on really popular shows too that queerbait out the ass like holy fuck JUST GIVE US!!! THE HAPPY GAYS!!!!
{ Tumblr || Flight Rising }GOSH YES. For the love of Hades, COMMUNICATIIIIIOOOOOON.
CoughSupernaturalCough
lack of communication is a trope i wish would die because it's SO FRUSTRATING to see two people fight just because they're too prideful or some shit to actually TALK TO ONE ANOTHER MMMPH [sub][sub]GLARES AT JACK AND GABE IN THEIR LATER OVERWATCH YEARS[/sub][/sub]
i wasn't gonna say it, but yeah pretty much xD
{ Tumblr || Flight Rising }hehe I'm not doing backbreaking work to make a snow angel ;) but I can make a baby powder angel instead ;) lmao
Oh no, your poor lungs would not agree to so much powder. o-o
Right ? If you can't write drama without making it all about a relationship, maybe you need to take some time to re-evaluate some things. Fanfiction aside, because that's sorta the focus of it.
I stopped watching SPN after season 9, but I have kept up a bit and this season has had at least two, healthy same-sex relationships that survive and I think a third gay man that survives ? It can't possibly be because they hired on more women and gay men writers (or one of the writers at least writes really good gay characters in other projects from what I've read, if he isn't gay himself). But the main source of baiting is, naturally, still there.
yeah that's true i'm writing something right now that sort of relies on lack of communication, but it's a "supposed unrequited pining" fic so it sort of needs that lmao
yeah i haven't watched SPN in a loooooong time i halfheartedly want to catch up with it?? but at the same time i'm just like "wow i might as well just buy it all on dvd and binge-watch them when i have the money" because that would be easier than trying to watch it all on on-demand and have some of the episodes missing it's nice that they're moving away from all the baiting shit but it's baby steps
{ Tumblr || Flight Rising }That seems colder for some reason ? Or more melty ?
Nice. XD
Same, like, I want to watch it but I know I'll be pissed ? I just... I love the characters so much but I detest 95% of what the show does with them. And it's a show that caters to so many of my interests. Supernatural entities ? Angelic lore ? Pretty white men ? GOSH. I'm... I'm not even going to give them my money. If I watch, it will be in a way they can't gain my view. Like borrowing DVDs, or getting the DVDs from a thrift store. They are still queerbaiting, but they're showing more non-straight characters that survive and aren't gross stereotypes.
mmmm yeah that's true. i also love the show because of the literal supernatural elements but god damn all the queerbaiting and dumb BS they do with the plot qnq
like i said, baby steps xD now, if they bring gabriel back on the show, i'd be a lot more interested in getting back into the show, but for now im content to watch from the sidelines as the fandom burns itself to the ground with all the inner fighting and the show's plot doing really fucky things that are confusing as shit
