ok so I have a question for y’all and this is gonna sound snarky but I’m genuinely asking — what are some shows that have aired in the past 15-ish years where the two lead characters, after a long time of being friends, got together as a romantic couple and it was generally seen as a bad thing/out of character/poor writing by the majority of the show’s viewers?
bc I feel like all I ever hear is writers parroting this idea that “there’s too much romance! we’re subverting the norm by making these two leads platonic :)” and was this true at one point in time? sure! but now it feels like every show is doing this, to the point where it’s no longer subverting the norm to have your leads not end up together, it’s just,,,, the norm now to build up a perfectly good romantic relationship and then slap a platonic label on it at the last minute so as to avoid being called cliche.
man. this whole thing pisses me off because like. even when people talk about staff having a history of hating trans women, that this isnt the first time, without fail black trans women are forgotten to be included again and again. im not surprised this caused such an uproar when the popular white woman gets deleted. nobody should be, its been that way like forever. some cunt in my inbox got annoyed i called rita a sex worker (lol? okay)
but i mentioned that in my post because so many black trans women have gotten removed from this site for their sex work alone, regardless of if it "broke community guidelines" or not, especially when tumblr live and the ads on this website are so fucking horny. idek what to say rn because like. this wont get as many notes as the posts talking about her will. the exploding car thing is gonna get more attention than the trans women on this site you dont actually care about listening to. ive been talking about how unfair it is to be a black tgirl on this site for years and nobody cares.
i love rita, we talked abit the other day and she's doing fine, dont get it twisted and think i hate her or some bs, she's a big fucking reason im not fucking homeless.
but part of why her deletion got to #1 trending on tumblr for multiple days in a row is that she's white
It's like I blinked and "Haha I'm going to kill myself" became a funny joke to make again, or an alright thing to say ironically. You guys stop that. You'll feel better for not saying it, I promise.
my hyper specific dungeon meshi headcanon is that chilchuck has a purely aesthetic crush on senshi but marcille makes it her own mission to Make Sparks Real bc she's sooooo romo pilled.
it goes nowhere bc neither chilchuck nor senshi are interested in dating let alone each other. however it makes for very funny scenarios.
re: chilshi: i kinda dont remember the og post for it but here are references from the top of my head. of course i believe it's somewhere ryoko kui did confirm that halflings generally admire dwarven beauty standards but bwaaah. let me have fun. bisexual chilchuck win.
I don't know why this isn't a widespread thing, but most x reader fics are tagged as "[character] x reader" without a single "x reader" tag on the whole post as a whole
You can still tag it as zoro x reader or whatever character you wanted and whatever other tags you wish to add but please add just the lone x reader tag in there too
why?
This makes it easier to filter
You are free to write whatever! Go for it! It makes you happy! But I am personally not fond of seeing x reader fics, and they tend to be a bit of a hassle on my end to scroll past a long fic post because I didn't tag a character out of the 30 other [character] x reader tags I have filtered out
Tagging your fics as x reader instead of just [character] x reader makes the required tags to be filtered be 1 instead of several
So please, if you are an x reader writer, I am asking nicely if you could please add the tag x reader to your posts
