Watched the official released trailer and every. Single. Comment. Was just; "where's steve!? "Steve was barely in the trailer." "They better not kill him off, he's the best character!" "Oh no... I think Mama steve is in trouble!" "I think Vecna is gonna make Will kill Steve." "I'm so scared for steve!!!!" "Don't kill steve." Blah blah blah blah blAH BLAH!

It's like an annoying bug in my ear constantly yapping abt the same things like oh my GOD. SHUT UP ABOUT STEVE!? he's not the only character in the show omllll 😭😭😭

Honestly the GA is making me hate steve

Edit: saw a byler comment so I'm healed

I don’t like MalleYuu. Never cared for that dynamic anyway but it is mainly because a lot of fans act like it is canon, make everything about him, defend his every action, or will attack people for saying they don’t like the ship.

*Adds to the list of Anit-MalleYuu Asks*

You do you, Anon, but people have definitely said all this before. I promise the lack of further commentary on the blog's part is nothing personal.

Thank you for your take.

I am sorry.

my main gripe with 3h fans' "grandma Rhea" headcanon

It's kinda like with how often girlbosses / girlfailures (or female characters who generally some fandom's punching bag) are treated with fan spaces, insultingly simplistic for characters who are usually much more layered and deserve more analysis and love than the ones they're usually given *cough Mel Medarda*

Even when it's coming from a place of love, it still reduces any complexity from a female character that a lot of us already know is less likely to happen to a male character.

Not every grandma Rhea is guilty of this ofc, but they are definitely enough where it's a problem that I believe should be called out more.

It really upsets me when the fandom’s only way of two divorced characters ‘fixing’ their relationship is by re-marrying. What if they just end up close friends? Partners not by romantic standards? What if they aren’t even friends anymore but have simply reconciled?

I lived for so long as an arospec person thinking that the only way I could have a close bond was having a romantic relationship and when that romance was denied I felt. Entirely hopeless. Learning to unpack that worm in my brain that put romance on a pedestal and instead valuing the relationship I had with that friend—and all my friends in general saved me more than the hypothetical of me getting into that relationship ever could. It quite hurts seeing the agreed upon prospect of one of my favorite characters being she must remarry if their bond with their ex is to be fixed!!!!!

Sometimes relationships just can’t work out as romance. You must realize this. Kill the worm in your brain that says romance is the only way to fix such a problem and that romance is the end all be all in a relationship.

Hey fandom can we stop taking women who do bad/morally gray actions and pinning all of the blame on a guy in the story and making the woman out to be a helpless damsel in distress victim thank you !!!

I‘m kinda starting to hate this trend of calling male characters (usually cishet too) "girl coded" or "babygirl" (and all the other variations) instead of engaging with media (or even within the same media) about women lol. When i like a male character i dont feel the need to pretend theyre something theyre not. Headcanons and jokes are all fine but this is rlly starting to piss me off.

General rant here!

I hate how fandoms portray optimistic characters, it is an issue in pretty much every fandom I have ever been to. Why is it that optimistic characters tend to be protrayed as dumb, childish, silly, and or is comedy relief? Even if the show go out of it's way to show how smart, responsible, and resourceful they are the fandom tends to do this for some reason. Why does optimistic = dumb and childish? Also why is it that when people aren't portraying that character as a stupid they end up making that character angsty as hell for no reason? Legit people would throw in a bunch of angst in there and portray their optimism as a lie to cover up the deep stuff. It is honestly concerning.

On Evan Hansen

Evan Hansen, though a total shy fluff ball in every fic and fandom work out there, is not a puppy.

As much as the songs and script might make it seem so, the play and delivery really portray him as a deep character who tends to aggressively lash out when others push him.

He raises his voice to a shout, he says hurtful things, he gets defensive not in a sad or cute way but in a stop-it-get-away-from-me way.

I like this character far more than the ones I see in the fandom simply because it is more flawed, more relatable, more understandable. More human.

He is complicated. We all are. But it’s important not to push this beautifully complex character into a 2D shell.
