season 5 spoilers
hi you guys 😔
for the sake of my mental health i will not be reading any posts on here! i’m just putting this post out bc i’m going to delete tumblr for the time being. obviously we know how important byler becoming canon was, for so many reasons. i had a generational crashout in my car after watching the finale. DON’T let anyone tell you it’s stupid for feeling this way!!
anyway, i’m logging off for a while so the doomposts don’t worsen my mental state 😭
i’m NEVER leaving this ship. i’m choosing to believe requited love between will and mike was the writer’s intention since the beginning, but that they were censored. we were still queerbaited and dragged on until the very end; they should have told us a long time ago it wasn’t happening.
this is my first true queerbait experience, but from what i’ve heard from others, it’s far different and far worse than other queerbaits.
mike and will’s characters were done so wrong. yes, i think the ending was beautiful. they pulled it together very well. what wasn’t pulled together well was mike and will’s relationship— even just their friendship, which was so crucial in the first two seasons— and i’m extremely disappointed. they know how important the two of them are to SO many people, and they half-assed the conclusion to their story. don’t get me started on the epilogue boyfriend.
i hope the show creators will come out and explain themselves, but i don’t think they will.
my new year’s resolution is to never trust a white man ever again!
please, i suggest that, if you’re as invested as i am, you get off social media for a while and take some time to yourself to heal.
personally, i’ll be rewatching heated rivalry for the fifth time and rereading the power outage fic while pretending it’s what happened in the epilogue!
remember that this is fiction at the end of the day. this is hypocritical of me to say since i always take fiction way more seriously than reality, BUT it’s an important thing to remember. the thing i’m most upset about is the lost chance to start a chain reaction of queer representation in media, making storytellers realize that queer love stories don’t just belong on the sidelines like will’s and robin’s.
i’m so sorry to all of you, but thank you for the wonderful few months you have given me on here. remember that we are NOT delusional, and who said we have to stop shipping characters just because they aren’t canon??
okay everyone, have a happy new year!!! read some fan fics, drink some ice cold water, and watch some good queer representation with HAPPY gay endings. love you all! kisses! deep breaths you guys, everything is going to be okay.❤️❤️
