Oh, Suffering Sappho! @eyehatekim - Tumblr Blog

Having a queer character believe he won't find love and proving him right is not good writing.

Having a character grow up in solitary confinement and then ripping her away from the only family she's ever known to live a life of solitude once again is not good writing.

Having a character be in love with his best friend and then just compare it to a high school crush is not good writing.

Having Eleven say that Mike has always been the person who truly understood her after showing us in the previous seasons that he only sees her as a superhero IS NOT GOOD WRITING.

im so angry at the idea of dragging will's sexuality storyline out like this, having him fixated on mike for the entirety of it, putting him through the humiliation ritual of using his feelings and his painting to fix and bolster mike's straight relationship, continuing to drag out his feelings, having mike say shit to him like it's not my fault you dont like girls, give him hope, put him through the humiliation ritual of that fuckass coming scene, only to then button everything with one small scene of mike saying theyre best friends without ever actually properly addressing will's feelings THAT WERE DRAGGED OUT FOR THREE SEASONS FOR NO REASON and then showing will with a boy for 2 seconds THAT HE DOESN'T EVEN KISS? After directly commenting on the fact hes never kissed anyone??? They didnt even do a stupid callback to robin's advice and show them bump elbows or have a proper shared look like what the actual fuck was the POINT of HALF of will's sexuality scenes?? they did NOT need to write it like this and they wouldve been BETTER OFF for it if they HADNT.

like jesus fucking christ imagine sidelining all of your gay characters' romances when all of your het couples got at least a season of buildup and payoff. robin and vickie get together off screen and spend most of their time separated and will gets an epilogue boyfriend they dont even let him kiss like good job guys, you did it, you did a diversity. fucking incredible.

okay now let’s REALLY give it up for the biggest queerbait of the decade

so what? what is the point of this story??

the boy who has been abducted and assaulted at age 12 (who, mind you, the whole town thought was abducted by "another fairy" and was now off to "fairyland"; his father and the bullying history another story entirely) finally accepted himself, had HOPE! for once in his life! but was forced to come out to every single person he knows so his feelings for his friend was not a liability! because his abuser could out him at every moment!! and apologized again and AGAIN in MULTIPLE SCENES!! for his FEELINGS!! because HE KNEW THAT HIS CRUSH "was not like him". and surely!! it is HIS FAULT!! BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT HIS CRUSH WAS NOT LIKE HIM?? plus it is not like first crushes work out anyways right?? only for the,, yk,, QUEER ones. they know other people are not like them. do not be silly will. use your feelings to mend the main couple. you know, straight love-at-first-sight one. one part of said couple, your crush, still unable to say "i love you" to his girlfriend even when she is bidding a permanent goodbye to him.

also, sympathize with your abuser. for brownie points. sympathize with everyone whom you dared to love for being loved by you.

im actually so tired of unrequited love, self acceptance, coming out scenes, and chaste epilogue partners being part and parcel of a gay character in a mainstream show's arc. especially when it's not a feature of most of the other straight characters' romance arcs. it actually shouldnt be too much to ask that you treat your gay characters the same way you treat your straight ones.

like genuinely i can not wrap my fucking head around not letting robin and vickie have a proper romance arc if will getting a romance arc wasnt the point. why did we drag this out. why didnt we let him get a new love interest in california, or back in season 3. it's actually such bullshit that they sidelined robin and vickie so hard for fucking nothing. of ANYTHING we deserved to see that, AUGH im so fucking frustrated by this, i just dont understand the POINT.

and the gay bar stereotype was such ass lmfao. please come up with something better. why are gay people always reserved for lonely nightlife endings instead of real happy endings?
