Like 3 of my OTPs are here im in tears
So, I wanted to create an appreciation post for the ships that are scorned and receive hate.
For the ships that are treated with homophobia, and are belittled for no other reason than for being between two people of the same gender. The ships whose beautiful emotional developments are ignored, and instead stereotyped into false pictures of “lustful yaoi pairings,” which they are most certainly not.
For the ships that are overshadowed and ignored due to their more popular competition:
For the ships who, conversely, are “too popular,” or have “taken over the whole fandom.”
For the ships who are sent hate for ‘queer-baiting’ in spite of their beautiful, long-developed bond:
For the ships that are considered ‘abusive’ or ‘wrong’ because the characters have problems (and work them out, in DirkJake’s case!):
And the ships between two characters who are “clearly straight,”
(Yes, I have actually seen this argument used against Kagehina XD)
Because every pairing, no matter how minute, mainstream, or controversial, deserves respect. It’s okay if you don’t ship it. Hell, I don’t ship all of the pairings in this post. However, that gives you no excuse to behave with hostility towards the people who do.
(I will likely continue making edits to this post. I didn’t include every ship that has ever received hate, of course, and I may have mis-categorized a few of them. I understand that not everyone will like these ships for a variety of reasons, but I would appreciate it if everyone avoided any shiphate :)
Where is Cole gonna live at if Joe dies tho. His family hate him
(season 3 has not been confirmed yet)
Anne’s house in the woods represented comfort, innocence, childhood. Now that that is destroyed, maybe they’ll build a new form of shelter. (aka an upgraded one, aka growing up)
Gilbert and Anne making that upgraded version of the house
Gilbert and Bash thriving in their business. (Maybe even making some innovations)
Mary, Bash and Gilbert all living in the Blythe home.
By doing that, they start breaking down the oppressive walls of racism in Avonlea.
(Josephine Barry dying)
A spark happening between Diana and Jerry or Diana and Charlie (both have been hinted at in season 1 and 2)
Positive growth happening for Billy in a sense of being more mellow towards Anne and girls in general.
The history of Michael Cuthbert
Furthering the process of Matthew overcoming his social anxiety.
Miss Stacy simply inspiring them every day.
Anne and Gilbert being rivals in class but also helping each other with their studies.
Anne and Co visiting Cole’s first art exhibition.
Marilla and Rachel both seeking what it means to be open towards change and how to communicate better.
Someone’s birthday.
In general, a very easy friendship between Anne and Gilbert that’s low on flirting and more focused on maintaining and strengthening that friendship. First best friends, then lovers.
Doesn’t mean there’s no tension.
Waving Prissy goodbye as she leaves for college.
Anne’s hair turning into a deeper shade of red, more auburn. Also it’ll be longer (by entensions. I presume).
Themes of being more adult than child, and how that affects everything. What it means to be an actual friend and what your values in life are. (Hopefully, that means a shift in values for Anne. Aka, that her hair is something she really shouldn’t prioritise in life)
A first confession, probably on behalf of Gilbert.
More personal backstory on miss Stacy.
Ruby letting go of her crush on Gilbert with minimal drama.

my forever otp……………
I was shook when I saw a fellow Trini like... I lost it 😭
No, not like this, Blythe. Not like this. This sun isn’t even real. It don’t give you no heat, no… warmth, no nothing. It just shine on you like some faraway lantern in the sky. Oh! And the air! How can I do any work if the very air I breathe is out to kill me?
Would you leave something that is your only reason for happiness but at the same time it’s why you’re miserable?
That’s maladaptive daydreaming
the funniest part of the snape antis on this hellsite is everyone hating him but simultaneously being obsessed enough to ascribe everything cool about him to other characters. like james potter as the half blood prince? LMAO. because his family created hair serum?! or regulus as a swashbuckling double agent? ma'am he fell at the first hurdle.
But the best fics are the unfinished ones
