Confession #108

"So I've seen some people say that Beckett Mariner is a "Mary Sue" because she's a nepo baby and knows people like Riker and Wesley. But going by those people's logic then aren't Michael Burnham, Soji Asha, Jack Crusher, and La'an Noonien-Singh also Mary Sues for having famous relatives? At least no one in the fandom knew about Mariner's parents before Lower Decks but everyone and their mom knows who Spock, Data, Picard, and Khan are."

For Byler to happen in s5, the build-up on Mike's part should have also started in s4 and not him ending the season with a declaration of love for his girlfriend. (Even if you argue he wasn't genuine, which makes it kinda fucked up tbh, El still thinks Mike loves her.) Because for the ship to make sense, the Mileven breakup needs to be handled gracefully. (Aka not like Stancy and Byler shouldn't start like Jancy).

El is still our main girl and deserves to be treated with respect here. Making Mike emotionally cheat on her with her own brother is just wrong and cruel. Not to forget, Will also loves El. If you think he would intentionally hurt her and just get with her ex, you don't understand his character. Like for him family is everything, friendship is everything. It would kill him to hurt her. And Mike wouldn't want to intentionally hurt El as well. There is such a messiness that comes along with Byler, I fear the show doesn't have much time to handle it with care.

I'm a sucker for friends to lover, but because they set up Mileven and both Mike and Will care about El deeply, I just don't think Byler is worth jeopardizing all of it? Like Mileven is cute, idc, it doesn't mean they're endgame forever they're 14, but making Will date Mike shortly after is going to hurt El. And don't pretend El would be okay and happy she clearly loves Mike and it would devaste her, plus in s2 we can see her jealous side she doesn't play around. In the end, because all three characters are so interwoven, nobody would be truly happy. Will wouldn't be elated because of El, El would be unhappy because her brother betrayed her, and Mike would hate himself for destroying the WillEl sibling bond.

For me, Will's happy end is coming out to his friends and being accepted by them. Idk about Mike if he actually has feelings for guys. It's vague, but he also should live his true self. And for El, I just want her to be happy and alive and that she gets to experience all the things she wants.

Confession #108

I agree. I definitely think Will's happy ending would be accepting himself and coming out to his best friends, who also would accept and love him, too. I truly think that's where the story is going. I could be wrong, but I just can't see how Mike and Will getting together wouldn't be a messy situation for everyone. Like you said, everyone gets hurt in the end. I also don't think Mike likes Will. I think a lot of his actions and expressions have relayed that he knows Will likes him, but he doesn't reciprocate those feelings and just has no idea how to really start that conversation. If the writers wanted to make Byler endgame, they would have set it up better, number one, and number two, long before season five. You don't have Mike confess his love for El in season 4 if you're going to make Byler endgame in season 5. They would have continued separating El and Mike to build Mike and Will's bond. Except...the writers did the total opposite and brought El and Mike closer together. I don't really see how you can make a solid Byler endgame that the audience would be fans of. Realistically, the GA would be lost and confused because it would seem almost out of the blue.

“I wish Dexter had his character development before the EAH webseries ended. Of course his character had potential to be something more, but the writers refuse to show it. I mean, look at his siblings. Darling is a knight and a empowered woman (and possibly some girl's knight/princess/prince) and Daring had his development too by being more considerate and less vain (not to mention that him and Rosabella is an item now). What about poor Dex?

He obviously has issues that can be explored and make his character better, but nothing has been done with him! His only real character is him being this nervous wreck and having a crush on Raven...that's it. So once again, characters who wasn't Apple or Raven (or Briar) didn't have any development and it sucks till this day. Let's face it, he (along with plenty of the boys) was only used to sell dolls and be support beams for the girls.”

I understand where the ARMY comes from. BTS was the ultimate underdogs and to see them grow into worldwide sensations is amazing. They have every right (as with other fandoms) to hype up BTS and their success. BTS is doing amazing and after the new year performance, their career will go through a whole another level.

If anyone's a Mary Sue, T'Lyn is. In the classic sense: they're the writer's cosplay character put into the show. Not actually anti-T'Lyn but she's the closest the show's got.

Posting this as a response to a confession, since it came after I published confession #108.

#108: "I think The Barbie Diaries  is definitely one the weaker movies but I can't find myself totally hating it. I watched it before each year of middle and high school to remind myself to keep my ground. Also, the soundtrack is killer. It became one of my inspirations for songwriting and wanting to front a band. So, I've got a soft spot for this one, even though there are MUCH better Barbie films out there."
