Everyone in the tags is like: “don’t worry OP it gets better! Stick it out! Jon becomes less of a bastard later on! Soon they’ll both be pining and you’ll love it!”
Me, halfway through S2 and Jon’s ongoing and full-on ‘I’m-going-through-a-complete-paranoid-psychotic-breakdown-rn-and-i’m-dragging-all-you-fuckers-with-me’ rage fest, which includes verbally harassing and stalking Martin: uh-huh. sure.
*Hears all about TMA and how Jon and Martin are one of the most tender and heartbreaking romances in podcasting*
*Me, ecstatic for some more sweet gay pining, starts listening from the beginning*
Jon, first ep: so yeah those new researchers in the archives Sasha and Tim are on thin fuxking ice but fuck that Martin guy, he’ll never amount to anything
Me:
Everyone talks about how much Emily, Ally and Lou heckle Brennan on a daily basis, but we don’t talk enough about how it’s Siobhan immediately pick up the instigators thread and fuxking bolting. 69% of Bullying Brennan sessions are someone starting shit and the other 31% is siobhan gleefully taking the chance to roast the man who once took over a room in her shitty NY apartment that fuck
the famous ass-eating monologue??? And it’s constant repeats through the seasons?? She just wants reddit to eat Brennan’s ass like he deserves
It starts because Chat remembers Ladybug's voicemail asking if Marinette was "cute" way back with Evillustrator and snowballs with every dodged request for Multimouse on the grounds of "keeping her safe" since her "identity was known".
And Chat, as he's want to do, puts 2+2 together and gets fucking 23.
Now Chat thinks Ladybug is not only in love with Marinette, but has been secretly pretending to be in love with the famous oTheR BOy maybe to throw Chat off her scent, or maybe because she thinks he won't accept her, oh my god does she think he's homophobic??? What should he do???
Be a good friend and support her, that's what!
Meanwhile, Ladybug has been going through the 5-stages of grief thinking Chat has been scorned by Adrien Agreste at some point since every time she mentions the model Chat's response is increasingly hostile. At first she thought Chat hated Adrien, but all his comments seem to be critical of his inability to face conflict?? Or show his true feelings?? "Pretty boy" is said with such scorn that Ladybug (who is also the Anxiety-Catastrophic-inclining Marinette who regularly declares her own death at minor inconveniences and whenever she gets hit with her long list of secondhand embarrassments) has made up a whole backstory of how Chat is secretly bisexual and is using Ladybug to get over his horrific attempt at trying to express his feelings towards Adrien oh poor Chat she totally understands where you're coming from you poor kitty.
Cue Chat trying to wheedle out Ladybug's secret relationship with Marinette by making more comments about Multimous and how nice it was to do that mission with Marinette! Can he do it again? While also making more visits to her balcony to figure out why LB fell in love with his shy, awkward, yet brilliant classmate and oh god oh no she's actually really funny and sassy and way too cool for Chat or Adrien LB has fucking TASTE!!
(he also has been really emphasising his support for gay rights every time he hangs out with Ladybug (which isn't helping his 'secret pining bi' angle LB is frothing over) to the point where even local news outlets and the LadyBlog are debating whether Chat is queer af (which has always been a pretty firm belief in Paris, what with the leather outfit and hand gestures like ✨you know✨) or just pro-LGBT+)
On the other hand, Marinette has being trying to suss out this ""secret mean side"" of Adrien's that has made Chat into such a scorned lover, resulting in her being a little cooler to Adrien, which in turn has made her actually capable of speaking to him now he isn't some perfect figure on a pedestal.
("Plagg! Marinette frowned at me when I accidentally bumped into her today and told me to 'watch it, pretty boy' before leaving!!! She didn't stutter like usual, which I thought she did because she hated me, but what does this mean now????"
"That I'm not paid enough for this")
Except Chat has also been sniffing around her balcony a lot and she can't help but feel sorry for a fellow Adrien-Lover, so now she's been spending a lot of free nights with him and wow he's actually so sweet and shy beneath the flirty attitude and oh no he's actually kind of hot, and if Ladybug was the rebound from Adrien does that make Marinette a viable love interest??? W H A T???
This got away from me, but honestly we're at the point that it'd be so much funnier to make the lovesquare even more complex like yeah fuck it up you two dumbasses.
How come no one ever talks about the ULTIMATE ship of Uraraka/Bakugou/Kirishima?? I mean you've got two perfect sunshine children who are all about "MANLY" stuff, and their grumpy cat boyfriend who's always SUFFERING in between them. A perfect sandwich of manliness, sunshine and fiery hot anger.
I always thought that the Gravity Falls fandom was a brilliant and awesome fandom; full of genius people who work together to make amazing AUs and figure out the secrets of Gravity Falls. Unfortunately, today, I think I was proved wrong. I, myself, enjoy just about any ship. I will happily read most pairings, and don't mind at all when the writers sway more towards a ship in each episode. I could be rooting for Billdip one second, and happily wander over to read a Dipcifica fanfiction right after. I will support Mabifica, or even Wendip. I greatly enjoy the dynamics of just about any pairing. SO when I saw the newest episode, I was pleased to see the beginning and end of Candip. It was a perfect portrayal of 12 year old children; crushes that come and go faster than the speed of light. It was good character development for both Candy and Dipper, and their friendship is closer because of it. However, this morning I decided to have a poke around the Dipcifica tag, and I was shocked to see the amount of hate being thrown around. People hating on Candy because she developed a CRUSH?? I'm sorry, but how is that unrealistic? Or a threat to your ships? It was a short plot point that was meant to show how Dipper is more understanding of other human beings, and that he is more comfortable around girls. There wasn't a single mention of Dipcifica being destroyed, nor that there is even any Dipcifica. I'll admit that ship is probably the closest to canon right now, but Alex could just as easily turn around and toss Pacifica with Mabel. WE DON'T KNOW! So everyone just needs to relax and stop hating on each other's ships; Alex will be the decider, and he'll make the right choice. He may break some hearts and sink some ships, but that's the story of fandom life.

Voltron Season 6: I’m you but with far better character development and phenomenal animation.

MY REIGN OF TERROR SHALL NEVER END
Truly is there anything more poetic than Beau & Veth showing perfect teamwork in pulling off an insane combo to get Beau flying through the air and collaring Trent in the last M9 ep, but then aggressively pivoting to Beau ripping out Scanlan's throat in the first kill of M9 V VM???
