Alicent Criticism Often Strikes Me As Having The Same Vibes As The People Watching A Horror Movie And

no but hear me out:

i want robin to kiss a girl in season 5 so badly and no matter who it is, in the end of the day i will take it because she needs a gf already BUT

it has to be nancy. like it has to be. it's not that i dislike vickie or anything but i just (i better not get canceled for that one) feel like her character was kind of poorly written? no hate to the actress at all, but to me it just felt like they copy-pasted robin's entire personality and turned it into a new character?? i don't know maybe that's just me? robin deserves a complex character by her side (nancy god damn wheeler) and i am dying on that hill. nancy is and has always been such a complex character and giving her a girlfriend would only EMPHASIZE this complexity. from s1 one until now nancy has been captured in this love triangle and it is pretty clear that she never felt fully understood in neither of those relationships. like she always had to prove herself you know what i mean? with both steve and jonathan. now guess what? she never had to prove herself around robin. ROBIN EVEN PUT HER IN CHARGE HELLO??

and robin...well the way she rambled around nancy?? the way she looked down when she saw the way nancy was looking at steve?? the way she called for nancy when she went after steve?? the way they held hands??? they both deserve each other so much. i could literally talk about this for HOURS oh my god. the ronance hyperfixation is going strong!

hello anon i understand u so strongly, and im sorry this took me so long to get to! i promise it wasn't intentional!

i will forever be on the train that even if vickie was done better than she was, she will always be a character introduced to give the lesbian character a love interest, she was doomed to this position from the start because she had no other real purpose! rockie will always feel inorganic because vickie is nothing beyond a love interest for robin.

this is. such a common problem, ESPECIALLY in wlw ships, and that's why i love ronance. nancy wheeler is immune to this phenomenon because she and robin were both created independently and with different purposes, and their stories come together so well its actually insane

nancy wheeler is one of those characters that is so hard to understand if you don't look at her through a queer lens, or at the very least an anti-misogynist one. i think the best thing the duffers could do for her is finish the arc she started in season 1, which is focused on self-realization and discovery.

the entire show she has been told who she is, what she should do, who she likes, who she loves, by everyone! it is never nancy who says these things, it is other characters telling her, even barb, even robin. how insane would it be if she came to the conclusion on her own that she liked women? or at the very least had looked at her own feelings not through the lens of someone who didn't understand her or the situation they were talking about.

robin falls into these same patterns, but the more she gets to know nancy, the more she really understands her, the more she backs off on those kinds of comments and the more she uplifts nancy's voice. there is SO MUCH POTENTIAL in them and the fact that it will more likely than not be ignored is so. agonizing. please duffer brothers see the vision

I think Bakugou would kill for a lot of people but the only person he would die for without hesitation is Izuku and I think Izuku would die for a lot of people but the only person he would kill for without hesitation is Kacchan

We joke about Mike’s monologue killing Max but it actually makes perfect sense to start with “forced conformity is killing the kids” then have a forced heterosexual love confession kill Max only for her to be saved by a completely unprompted expression of gay love from El

No cause this like I’m happy that I think Byler is actually gonna be canon but the Duffers r still shitty ppl because queerbait was just one from a long list of problems and removing just that still leaves us with a long list of problems

I know I see a lot of people who have changed their minds drastically about volume two; however, even though byler may possibly canon, the way they treated their poc was still unacceptable and I hate seeing people worship the duffers again for their details or their writing. Lucas, Erica, and Argyle, still are stereotypes and were put in uncomfortable situations for poc viewers to watch such as Lucas and the Jason scene or the Erica and basketball player scene. I’m not saying that the ship that we all want to become canon is a bad focus but I’m saying we can’t ignore issues of the show now that everyone is relieved that Mike and Will could get together 

Yellowjackets truly has everything. it’s a love story. it’s a tragedy. it’s a 90s high school sitcom. it’s a survivalist show. it’s a supernatural drama. it’s an investigative mystery. it’s a story about the complex dynamics of female relationships. it’s a story about the horrors of being a teen girl. it’s a study of the lasting effects of ptsd. there’s cults. there’s biblical imagery and greek mythos references. there’s milfs. there’s murder. there’s horror. there’s comedy. there’s cannibalism as a metaphor for desire. it’s literally got everything.

IM GOING CRAZY RICHT NOW

Ok so basically like thirty minutes ago I was reading a Miraculous Ladybug fanfiction and I look down to see that a ladybug has landed on my can of soda, and then it walks on my hand. And I think “huh, that’s weird coincidence!”

But just now, I was reading another Miraculous Ladybug fanfic and I hear “There’s a cat!” So I turn around, AND THERES A BLACK CAT STARING RIGHT AT ME. And then IT LOCKS RYES WITH ME. AND LIKE WE HELD EYE CINTACT FOR A GOOD MINUTE. AND THEN ME AND KY COHSINS ARE RVAING ABOUT THE COINCIDENCE, and five minutes later, A WHITE BUTTERFLY FLIES OVER MY HEAD?!

WHAT DOES TTIS MEAN OMG IM GOING CRAZY SOMEONE TELL ME WHATS HAPPENING THIS IS SUCH A WEIRD COINCIDENCE IM?!

This along with Ronance and Steddie and Elmax but honestly I like Lumax too so that ones iffy but definitely for the other three

I sincerely don’t care what is canon, the duff brothers can pry byler out of my cold dead hands!!😀

Nancy Wheeler, Sam Larusso, Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Lori Grimes, and Alicent Hightower, I will always defend you from your misogynistic haters.
