The amount of comments I’ve seen shipping Holly and Derek, a pair of prepubescent children, to the point where Mike’s wave at Derek has been dubbed “brother-in-law approval” … but sure, the idea that Mike could reciprocate his lifelong best friend’s love is the stupid and ridiculous suggestion that delusional fans are inventing in their heads.

That's the heteronormative double standard that I've been going on about for years.

A male and a female can just exist together and people will ship them, but two boys or two girls can have an exceptionally deep relationship going back years and people will fight you tooth and nail and say there's nothing romantic between them and you're sexualizing their friendship.

Can anyone really say Jopper was romantic in season 1? Maybe there were some hints in season 2, but Joyce had a boyfriend, which was one of the biggest arguments against Byler: Mike is with El. That didn't stop people from shipping them, and there was little to no pushback on it. Nobody was called delusional or stupid.

Now here we are with Holly and Derek, where there was no canonical reason to think they were interested in each other. Holly was even mentioned as having a crush on someone else. But, no, they're a boy and girl character who interact. That's literally all it takes. That's how low the bar is, and society just accepts it. It's not even exclusive to media. Just pay attention to how many people say things like "oh, <insert name here> has a little girlfriend" if a boy interacts with a girl (or vice versa), regardless of age. I can only imagine the atom bomb of a reaction if anyone did that with kids of the same gender.

The bar is so low for hetero pairings that it's an automatic assumption in everyone's minds. The bar is literally on the floor. It doesn't matter how bad the relationship is, or if there even is any relationship. But two people of the same gender with a deep, close bond who are shown to treasure each other's presence in their lives are just friends and it would be ridiculous to even wonder otherwise. That bar is so high it's invisible from sea level.

Pisses me off.

Hey how was it?

Hii! Sorry I replied so late, I had to go to a wedding out of station the day after Re-neet so I was quite busy, I'm back home now and am finally relaxing after a long time.

Reneet went decent I'm just waiting for the cutoff now I hope it's lowkey like 2025, regardless of what happens I'm done with this exam and I couldn't be happier, I'm waiting for NEST results today I'm hoping I get a good rank in that to consider it as backup.

Anyways how are you doing how're you gonna spend all this free time now?

some people don’t deserve fanfics, much less for free.

also even if authors didn’t tag any specific warnings but they used the “creator chose not to use archive warnings” tag, then that is your warning.

“omg you should’ve —” no one forced your entitled ass to read anything. fanfic writers write for themselves and their own enjoyment. if you don’t like what you’re reading, quietly leave. ao3 is not an airport. no one cares about your departure so no need to announce it.

best of luckk!

Aww thankyou ❤️❤️
