#anti rollisi

[swanqueenelmaxshadowhunters]

Remember when Olivia was left speechless (and jealous and pissed) because Amanda put a pic of herself in a dating app so they could catch the guy?

(funny that none of the guys in the room seemed affected by the pic, but they made sure to show Olivia's reaction)

Now that Kelli has been gone for a bit, I feel like I can get this off my chest: Wolf Productions done fucked up.

Not for the first time, and not right from square one. But gosh, what a waste.

Kelli Giddish's Rollins was the only female character with the depth and acting chops behind her on the show since Cabot was a regular. She showed up and was able to go toe to toe with Mariska in carrying episodes - both personally related to her character, or to cases - not to mention had electric chemistry with Benson (sexual or not, take your pick).

With all the flack that SVU had taken over the years for not having a more diverse cast in regards to sexuality, Amanda was the earliest and best opportunity they had to develop a complex, interesting storyline of an adult woman coming to her sexuality late in life. I am not even necessarily the most ravenous Rolivia Shipper out there, but I'm heartbroken that they took Amanda's character over the years into the most boring, obvious, dissatisfying of directions.

I adored Amanda's wild/problematic side. Her episodes with her fighting with Amaro, dealing with her gambling addiction, shooting her sister's ex, or going rogue undercover are my favorite episodes of basically the last 10 yrs of the show. It was so good to finally have someone in the squad who was easier to relate to in a real-world sense. Someone who went to a Big Girl job in the day, but in the off hours was a mess with a rebellious streak.

It was always my hope that they would turn around the storylines where she seemed to chase men that were purposely bad for her, into a realization that it was because she was more emotionally into women. It fits so perfectly with her childhood, her background, and had ready-made holes in existing canon where they could have written it in with ease. (Pretending to be Liv's gf at the sperm bank, the remarks she makes in the episode Plastic, questioning her second pregnancy, etc.)

Instead, they had Carisi mope after her for years, all through the seasons where she showed no interest in him. I lost 50% of my respect for Carisi when he had that sulking tantrum after she fucked the bartender in Intent (a sexist double-standard btw, which would have never flown with fans if it had been Rollins pouting bc Carisi turned her down), and the other 50% after Carisi became ADA, with the writers seeming to then write him as rather victim-blaming.

The biggest irony, in my opinion, is that Dick Wolf complains that giving the fans EO will make the show too 'soap opera-y,' when what he/they did with Rollisi and Kelli's exit was far and away the most soap opera-esque thing they ever wrote! Fuck off with that obvious shit! Oh, the once-troubled blonde who is now straight as an arrow, rides off into the sunset with the Catholic altar boy and trades her powerful feminist position for a 9-5 (don't come for me, there's nothing wrong w being a professor, that's not the point here) and her two kids. Eat all of my ass, Mr. Cis-het, White, Only-Primetime-Billionaire Wolf. 🙄***

To make matters worse, they specifically brought in a POC actress to play a bisexual character, only to write her out as fast as possible for absolutely no discernable reason!?! The utter waste of what they did with Kat Tamin is an equal travesty. Give me Kat waking up in Amanda's bed. Give me Amanda making pancakes for breakfast and Kat carrying the kids to the table. Give me anything but the bullshit, Caucasian tripe that they sold us with Rollisi!!!

*takes deep breath*

And if - IF - the powers that be couldn't think beyond the end of an average-length cock when it came to Rollins, then for the love of all that is holy: her chemistry with Sergeant Khaldun was 1) vastly more believable 2) hotter 3) more diverse as an overall cast option and 4) less cringeworthily obvious.

I have loved SVU since I was 16 yrs old, and even though I gave up watching it around The People v. Richard Wheatley (for reasons unrelated to this specific rant), I still lurk in the background and keep myself vaguely caught up. But it's getting impossible to defend a lot of the choices they have made in the last three or four years. Good talent is so hard to hang onto these days in H'wood, and Dick Wolf seems just as, if not more, determined to fuck up his show as Chris Carter was in the 90s with TXF.

Thanks for coming to my TED Rant. 😮‍💨✌🏻

i think rollisi is a bad ship for a lot of reasons but the main one is that they look related

Am I the only one that doesn’t like rollisi? He waited for all those years while she had kids with two other men, then once they got together she treats him like a secret. I’m so sick of them using her childhood and her past as an excuse’ like let her grow away from that and stop letting it define her. She knows everyone thinks that and secretly likes it cause she gets away with more. Plus Dominic is always there for her yet the same can’t be said for her always being there for him. Yet when he was seeing someone else, suddenly she needed him more than anything. Plus, Amanda thinks she knows better than anyone when in reality she’s kinda dumb and trashy. Anyways, thank you for listening to my rant.

i hate rollins and i hate rollisi and i especially hate that they’re going ti get them married before kelli leaves the show which is STUPID AS HELL because if sonny is gonna be married, i want to be able to see him be a doting adorable husband. i hate everything about this dumb fuck plot line

[southsidewrites]

I have never been so pleased as when I heard they were writing Rollins out of the show...

and then they went and got married.

[lolahasmoxie]

WTF why is tumblr shoving rollisi posts down my throat? I stopped watching SVU when they got together.

#anti rollisi #she treated him like shit for years #he deserves better than her

[carisi-rollins]

I don’t care how unrealistic or unlikely it is, I want a Rollisi wedding and a Rollisi baby. If that’s being ungrateful then so be it. Rollins is LEAVING. We’re entitled to want a big send off :)

Any Carisi fans who AREN’T Rollisi shippers??

#rollisi feels like they just stuck two pretty white people together #and it came out of no where??? #so it’s pretty fucking annoying to look for carisi content only to find rollisi #god forbid they made carisi gay/bi or gave him a non white gf #Sonny carisi #anti-rollisi #law and order: svu

[electrictoes]

Also I know it's not particular rollisi but I wish we would have had a bigger scene with Amanda telling Liv about she and Carisi, including about the why she took so long etc. And maybe seeing them actually going home to Jesse and Billie just to close the scene began with Jesse asking that question.

Also I would have loved to see the rollisi scene after she got Mesner in instead of the nonsense scene between Liv and her therapist with him asking about Stabler?? Who cares? It didn't seem at all relevant to the scene or even the whole episode, instead Rollins stormed out upset and Carisi went to check on her, THAT would have been relevant.

Sorry this was for the question about the rollisi scenes😄

I completely agree! They waited so long for the disclosure and it was almost anti-climactic because there was no drama and the actual disclosure scene was very brief.

Definitely would've loved to have seen the scene outside after she walked off - all these moments we could've had...

i need barba to try to get carisi thrown off the case against wheatley bc he’s involved with a detective he works constantly with which puts his integrity in question and when carisi later asks him how he knew, barba just looks at him, a little sad, a little amused, saying, “i know you better than you think”

Are we supposed to overlook the fact a black female character was treated so carelessly just to prop up a white coupling?

nope, absolutely not! but the writers want you to!

i was actually talking with someone about this — nicole was done pretty dirty, and basically dismissed. the episode as a whole was pretty dismissive of her, and while i think the moment of the kiss itself was sweet and a fan service moment for a good chunk of the audience, we should absolutely not ignore that as far as we know, sonny is still in a relationship with nicole (who as you said is a black female character) while amanda kisses him and he reciprocates.

in fact, while we see him and nicole have a discussion about marriage that does not go the greatest, the fact that her rejecting the invitation to the wedding seems very... i don’t know, sudden? they’re both career-driven people, sure, but it’s obvious her and sonny are in a very sudden rough place when just a few episodes prior he was getting into this relationship and they did seem very supportive of each other.

as i said in my previous post, it is a character growth moment for amanda in terms of her finally realizing that sonny is right in front of her and that’s who she wants, but it comes at a pretty hefty price. kissing him while being aware of his relationship (one that is known enough that olivia is shocked that nicole isn’t coming to the wedding) and sonny’s reciprocation is done in a way to make us forget that nicole is even there — typical erasure and trodding over a black woman. she is very much USED to make amanda see the light. it sucks. it does. and it does RUIN the moment if you think about it (which again, the writers do NOT want you to, do not think about tje black woman who is at home while her boyfriend is at a wedding she thinks he’s officiating). it makes it Very uncomfortable because no matter what sonny feels, it seems out of character for him to forget he’s in a relationship.

one thing i’m worried about personally is that they’ll further use nicole as a plot device for amanda and sonny’s “relationship struggles” and try to put her in the wrong and want us to root for rollisi later while completely ignoring the fact that at this point sonny is in the wrong for kissing another woman while in a monogamous relationship.

also we are not given any clue as to where sonny and nicole’s relationship stands, nor where it stands after the kiss or ANY of the ramifications following. it’s... yeah. like i said. very fan service moment. also extremely dismissive and rude to nicole to throw her into the trash, essentially, and reduce her to nothing more than barely an obstacle. it’s gross! they could’ve just... not had him have a girlfriend for amanda’s growth? at all? or give us a chance to see nicole as a person? or just... there are so many other options.

#i should have talked about this earlier but you’re absolutely right anon #sonny is very much in tje wrong and nicole was thrown aside #sonny carisi #amanda rollins #rollisi #law and order: svu #anti rollisi #nicole #i would give her more but she doesn’t even have a last name as far as i can tell #svu 22 spoilers

waiiiiit wait wait you hate rollins???

I wouldn't say that I hate her. I hated William Lewis, I don't hate Amanda. I've just always thought that she's a little sketchy. Not like an untrustworthy kind of sketchy, she's just...eh to me. Now I do hate how her relationship with Sonny has taken a turn. I hateeeeeeeeeee that they did that. I knew it was coming, but I still don't like it. I don't like her background story, I don't like the way she interacts with others on the show. She's just not high on my list is all.

i’m so disappointed that rollins and carisi are a thing now

#carisi baby i’m gonna get you out of there #anti rollisi #svu

[southsidewrites]

eww apparently rollisi had a baby boy together dominick carisi iii aka nicky 🤢🤢🤢🤢

I have to assume this is because I made an anti-r*lisi post like a year ago, lol. I do still watch every episode of SVU (and am in season 21 of my rewatch), so I know what's up.

[I will continue to hate this ship until the day I die, though].
