..... can’t we just be happy that Shiro’s happy? I get why some people are sad.. but I don’t think that Curtis is a bad person.
We’ve seen him through season 7 and 8, and to be honest I can get why some people don’t like him.. I mean he’s a ray of sunshine! He even cheered for Shiro in the arm wrestling match, he looked overjoyed!
I can also understand that they decided to put Shiro together with Curtis (even if it was on a whim) ‘cause Shiro don’t need to end up with someone who have been through the same amount of shit that he has, Shiro needs someone who will take care of him, and remind him of how important he is. Also I get it, it was sad when Adam died, but I’m in a way glad that they didn’t end up together.. because Adam was before Kerberos, therefore it might be difficult for them to be together. If you think about it Adam was already really worried about Shiro, then imagine him being with Shiro after all he has been through.. Shiro needed a fresh start, and I definitely think that he could get that with Curtis.
Though I am sad that we didn’t get to see Curtis and Shiro’s relationship grow, and I think that that would have helped a lot, because then people might be more accepting toward Shurtis. Also I have mixed feelings about Adam’s dead.. on one side I would’ve loved to see Adam and Shiro talk about what happened, and then deciding to just be friends.. but on the other side if the writers constantly had to not kill gay people or people of color, then that would also become a problem, because everybody should be treated equally. I think Adam’s dead kinda signaled that yeah this guy is gay, but he’s just as much human as the rest. And by killing Adam I think the writers showed and indifference in the fact that Adam was gay (not a negative one, but like it didn’t matter because in the end he was just as human as the rest)
So yeah I think one of biggest flaws with Shurtis is that we didn’t get to see how their relationship developed, but in the end I am just happy that Shiro found someone new to love, to trust, and finally got his happy ending...
(Btw have you guys noticed that it’s actually Shiro that pulls Curtis towards him?)
