Note

You really don't know me, and to be frank, the assumption you can write a long meta to disprove the opinion i'm perfectly entitled to seems very arrogant. I don't make money from my fansite. It actually costs me a lot to run. My only goal has ever been to spread the love. But people just come there and steal from it all the time. Now they're talking shit about me for some reason. So can I say thank you to both you and your anon for reminding me that I really shouldn't bother. (2/2)

If you meant me. I said i'm (I hope you don’t mind I redacted your name because you don’t need anyone going after you more). I run a fan site for Iain and I was made aware I was being talked about on here. Whilst I appreciate you can't help what you're asked, I did not 'blast' season 7 and i'm perfectly capable of understanding the situation. Frankly, i've spent months seeing other people spread misinformation about it. Nor was I determined to be unhappy about season 7 but I do think the writing hate been weak. The villains are weak and that Elizabeth has been sidelined....

...but to be honest, I really don't need a reply of any sorts from you. I'm sure you're a nice person that meant no harm but I actually feel like total shit. I don't understand why i'm being made out to be some kind of hater or something by your anon, who evidently is quite happy to take advantage of my site as long as I fall in line. And I was shocked to see that you replied the way you did, which seemed to me very superior. This is why i've stayed out of this fandom. Toxic.

Hi,

I know you said I didn’t need to respond but I really feel like I do. I don’t like being called, arrogant, superior, entitled, and that I spread toxicity.

First and foremost. I apologize if my response to the ask upset you. I also apologize that it was first thing in the morning, I was being lazy, and didn’t go looking for your write up to read myself. I usually do. I didn’t this time and the response I gave was a pretty standard one I’ve had to do over the years.

If you don’t follow me on here you will have no idea how many Iain and his absence related asks I have had to field since last August. We are talking hundreds and I had to ask that I stop being sent them as it was a situation I had no control over and was upsetting everyone. That is likely also why my response came off as harsher than it should have. Because I am tired of dealing with the drama around his absence.

I also am someone who has had their material stolen and used by other sites without credit and I know that is an awful feeling. I’ve had my theories and metas taken by two entertainment sites this season alone that I am aware of and have zero recourse for it. And it is frustrating.

I also understand the amount of time you must put into it. Again, I run an odd blog here and dedicate a lot of hours to it and the fandom, just as you do. And like you I never intend to spread negativity or toxicity.

You are absolutely entitled to your opinion of this season. I am very big on that and that my word is far from final in the fandom. Its a very fine line to walk when I get these asks in especially when I am asked to weigh in on someone else’s theory or opinion. I know my words carry weight.

But at the same time I am entitled to my own opinion on the season and how its played out. Plus we still have the finale to go. Just because we see it differently doesn’t mean one of us is right and one of us is wrong. Though we do agree on some things, again if you go through the black hole that is my blog, you will see that I agree that the villains didn’t get the time they needed to be built up properly. I have publicly said that they spent about one episode too long time traveling that should have been used to really solidify Nathaniel and SIBYL better as the baddies. I wish we’d gotten James reprising his dad’s role longer! And I am vocal the Jemma has been doing a lot of “Back at the Zephyr” Stuff. But at the same time she’s had some amazing episodes she was incredible in 9 and directed it.

I have found in my years here that out of all the call that Iain is a very hot button character. Iain and Fitz are important to a lot of people as you clearly understand running a fan site dedicated to him. Every season I’ve had some sort of FItz is going to Die panic and upset asks about how long it was taking for him to return and the secrecy around his role in the Season. In which there was nothing we could do about this situation or his availability. I’ve held firm that the wait will indeed be worth it and I stick to that fiercely. The writers will have made the most of every second they had him and I’m excited that the Fitzsimmons arc is playing out as the finale does.

I can not change how others are reacting to your take of the season. I personally know when I throw a theory or meta out into the wilds of the internet that I can get blow back for it and need to be aware that if its an “unpopular” opinion others are going to let me know it. I’ve always told my followers its okay to disagree with me I just ask that any debate be respectful. So to my followers I hope you take this attitude with other fans as well.

So again, I apologize if my response upset you and we can agree to disagree on how we feel about the season.

Hello there! I couldn't help but notice that salty anon asking about your stance on Levi so I'll ask again because it sure sounds interesting! Do you mind telling us how you feel about him?

Okay, so the original question from a dumb hater was how I could even support a romantic ship between Eren and Levi if I am not a Levi fan*.

*If a ”Levi fan”, like that idiotic anon meant, is someone who excuses all of Levi’s bad behaviors, then no, I am not a fan.

Premise no.1: I’ve loved Levi for so many years, he’s been part of my twitter handle in the past, is in my Tumblr url, icons on various social media, I have a lot of merchandise and not only for “the sake of the ship”. I genuinely used to love him to the point that he was my favorite character alongside Eren, I couldn’t pick one. So I guess I am a bit of a fan, after all.

Premise no.2: I am a gigantic bag of salt about this topic so tread carefully if you’re easily offended. I won’t sugarcoat my VERY BIASED opinions, and if you strongly disagree, that’s perfectly fine. I won’t change my opinion with the information we currently have, because this isn’t a gut reaction I spent two seconds on, I actually soul searched (lol) for the reasons as to why I felt so negatively about Levi. He was my fave, and I felt deeply hurt and confused and frustrated, so I thought long and hard about it. I am open to change my mind if anything else comes out of him in the future.

Also, I have already spent a lot of words on how I feel about Levi’s character as of late, here, here, and here, here, here and here for example, also here and here (I haven’t exactly been silent about it lol) but let me reiterate it into one incomplete post. It’s really freaking long, and a wall of text at it. I don’t expect people to put up with this messy rant, but suit yourself if you want to.

@ the people who sent these new questions almost a month ago, I’m sorry this isn’t the reply you hoped for. If you guys want a more positive take on this, just look through my ereri meta tag.

Levi as a character can be simplified in 3 points, in my opinion: 1) the deep, caring feelings he has for his comrades and as such the responsibility he feels for them and their deaths; 2) his violent side and how he resorts to violence to solve situations. These 2 merge together into 3) what used to be his main goal, free humanity. He lent his strength (that at times he uses for violence/to get his way) to the cause: helping in freeing humanity inside the walls because the sense of freedom is worth everything.

So, harsh opinion: I believe he has lost sight of his goal – as Isayama has stated in the past even though I didn’t wanna believe it because it made zero sense and cheapened everything I loved about Levi – and he has fallen back into his worst behaviors. Add to that a lack of active presence and engagement in the actual story, and you get this predictable, background character that I can’t for the life of me enjoy currently. Because apparently, he forgot how to live on his own without Erwin’s guidance (and here I’d have another bag of salt to pour but this would get too long, and I don’t have the patience to word it in a way that wouldn’t bring me the ire of his fans).

I don’t know if Levi is really supposed to be seen this way, but at least to me, the focus has been mostly on this: his anger/violence/flaws, and his lack of involvement.

I never liked the way he resorted to violence to “resolve” not life-or-death situations or simply to vent his frustrations, in the first place. It’s something Eren had to let go of, he was rewarded when he used his wits, abandoning pure rage for the sake of revenge, and it’s always been Isayama’s intention, imo, to show as much with the story in general and with Levi as well, as Levi has never been rewarded for it either.

So, witnessing his character revert AGAIN to kicks and straight-up sadism, as a fan, has been a big disappointment. Then, the shift of his goal because “saving humanity” wasn’t Erwin’s goal, after all, has been another point of disappointment – but this happened way before the current arc. His obsession with “making the dead soldiers’ sacrifices worth it” can be commendable, but the way he’s going about it is totally blind and dictated by anger and loss of hope, in a way, so I don’t see it as something positive either. He lacks vision, he lacks a voice in the things that are happening around him as if he doesn’t care whatever happens to all of them, as long as he can make Zeke suffer and kill him. I know it’s not totally the case, because we have seen (and I want to believe) that he still cares about his comrades who are still alive, as seen during the battle in Liberio and his reticence at following direct orders to kill Eren, but at the same time, the obsession with “repaying the lives of the dead” is making him being absolutely heartless for the sake of his “hope” (like, I’m paraphrasing here but he literally went “let’s go to war again and let Historia become a shifter if she so wants to, who cares, more deaths, yay”), though he himself doesn’t seem to care about hope and freedom and all this stuff that much anymore, or he would’ve spoken up about the mess Paradis and Hange were throwing themselves into, like Eren did.

Another point of dissatisfaction is that it seemed to me like he was forming stronger bonds with the 104th and he was becoming better at voicing his opinions without becoming violent, but I guess he either regressed, or I always read him wrong. His violence in 114 was downright revolting to me, I felt nauseous and, in a way, I’m glad he got k.o’ed. It put a stop to his metaphorical downfall, at least — I see post-timeskip Levi as a cheapened, worsened, “hyperfocused-on-just-one-side-of-him” version of the Levi I used to love in earlier arcs and he was only getting worse, imo.

And, as a special mention re: his violence and his relationship with Eren… It was interesting to observe how he slowly changed in regards to Eren, learning how to lift him up and get the best out of and for him, caring about and paying attention to Eren’s emotional state when no one could or would. It was also very interesting how he opened up to Eren just because he wanted to help him, always, from the beginning. THAT’S what really made me fall for the ship and for Levi.

Also, he thought that violence wasn’t the answer with Eren, and I guess I can excuse him for his behavior in Shiganshina because it was a charged challenge of sort for every character. But he really did think that nobody could make Eren submit with violence, yet he’s the one who tried to do exactly that as soon as they met again in ch.105. I was so disappointed that their relationship seemed to have regressed so much, I kept being hopeful only because of his face/words after the kick: he felt betrayed and saddened by Eren, so it meant he still cared deeply about him. And yeah, he does, but the reasons are also partially…bad.

Don’t get me wrong, I believe he cares about Eren as a person, the boy he met and decided to protect all those years ago, but now saving Eren has become deeply intertwined with saving his last remaining goal: making it up to the dead soldiers (and I’ve already explained why I think it’s not a “positive” goal). And it’s unfair and a skewed view, imo, because Eren really didn’t have much to do with every single death. But I think it’s Levi being desperate about it all, he clings to it or he’d lose it if he had to, um, reconsider his current mindset. He’s like…grasping at straws, I feel. Like he was doing with Erwin when Erwin revealed his true colors. Levi ended up reconsidering his own ideals and goals, back then, but in a bad way (he had no goals of his own, he just blindly followed Erwin, who cares about humanity, right? Even though he seemed to care oh so much before).

I guess it’s the downfall of the “Hero”. @/Isayama, was this necessary? Is this entertaining? I am personally not a fan of this, there were so many ways to challenge Levi’s belief & trust in Eren, and to still have Levi be an active player. This just feels like a cheap way to get him out of the picture and turn him into a really secondary character. He doesn’t feel like a main player in this arc.

So long story short, I’m very disappointed in his development. I was willing to go along with it in the hopes that it would be leading us to something very interesting and it seemed it could go into a good direction as I stated here. But when he seemed to be confirmed basically dead (literally, or anyway when it comes to his importance in current events), I’ve kind of lost all hope in regards to his character, and I felt so done about it. He is either gonna stay this way, or there’s gonna be some small, cheap, background-ish closure (though atm I fail to see how, seeing as the story is about to end) and if that’s the case, I fail to comprehend the purpose of his arc, then. I don’t think his is an unreasonable development, I just fail to see how the direction Isayama has decided to “develop” him in has any relevance to the story and its themes, as he used to be a major player with some good-ass, relevant presence in the story. As I said in some posts I linked above, Isayama may have lost motivation to develop Levi any further and dropped it from the “main players” roaster, probably when he decided to change Levi’s motivations halfway through the story (because yes, the problems I have with Levi started towards the end of Uprising).

I used to be a great Levi fan, if my username and icon are anything to go by, and I still like him when I reread some parts as I stated elsewhere, because I really, really love when he interacts with the 104th or like, with his subordinates or even Hange. It’s fun to watch and even cute, when he’s not being a violent arsehole. So it’s really a shame that it’s come to this.

And yeah, I’m sure some people may have noticed already, but the ereri content on my blog has become quite scarce, S3 and the shitfest that went down there in regards to Eren&Levi parts also dampened my hype for the ship, my dissatisfaction with Levi’s character and the way his interactions (or lack thereof) with Eren went recently just pissed me off. But I loved this ship for like 5 years, I’m attached to it, and I am capable of separating the good parts of it from the bad ones (though it’s become increasingly difficult). And most importantly, I still love the way their canon relationship was developed up until before the serum bowl. Almost nothing has happened with them since then, so that’s why I was still really hyped for the next 2 years, but recently, and with Levi’s return, I’ve just grown more frustrated and bored with it.

After all, I fell in love with the romantic fanon ship BECAUSE the canon relationship was so interesting, had potential, and seemed to be going some incredibly cool directions, as both the characters seemed to be similar, had the same goals and understood each other on a basic level. It turned out to be almost nothing in the end, but alas.

So, how can I ship them if I don’t like one of them?

I still like Levi, especially when I reread the early arcs. This doesn’t mean I have to accept the worst sides of him that have apparently taken over his whole personality. His violence ISN’T a flaw I - or anyone, imo - should accept. Snoring IS a flaw we can/have to accept if we love someone. Violence is something that must be overcome. My annoyance with people implying they are better fans because they accept and embrace and excuse him and his violence, compared to those who don’t like that, is also a factor in my frustration. Understanding why exactly he’s the way he is is part of being a fan of a character, wishing for him to become a better person and ultimately letting go of toxic (yeah) acquired behaviors, imo, is better than defending and hyping them up. Some people even LOVE and WISH that violence will be his downfall because it’s violence for the sake of avenging [redacted] so it’s sooo romantic. lmao, ok. And I won't even get started about the ones who SERIOUSLY say that adult characters don't need to change, because I'm gonna start laughing for 3 hours straight. Dudes, there's not an age where you stop changing. If you stop trying bettering yourself at age XX, then I already know you're a shitty adult irl, goodbye.

Anyways, back on track. As I said in another post I may have linked above, I thought his encounter and resolution with Kenny would have amounted to something in this regards, since Levi used violence to get acknowledgment and to feel like he was “worth” something, imo, but it was only a set up for serumbowl. Wasted chance.

And I get it that violence is the way he was taught to deal with things, but 20 years have passed since then and he had a whole character arc in Uprising about opening up, trusting, feeling trusted in return, and feeling good and grateful and happy about that BECAUSE he was open with his squad and learned that it was better to use words rather than fists. So I thought he had grown out of it at least a bit. But I mean, there are other characters who have regressed or haven’t changed at all after their supposed character arc, and that dampened to a great degree the enjoyment of such characters for me (Historia, Ymir, Reiner), so whatever I guess? I can definitely see it’s something of a “cruel” way of storytelling Isayama really seems to like, maybe because he wants the characters to suffer. I guess you can’t have a story if all of your characters become better people and overcome their flaws…well, actually you can, but I guess Isayama doesn’t want this to be that kind of story.

But anyway, just to be clear, it also ties in with wanting the characters you love to better themselves and let go of things that ruin their lives or that have roots in trauma. Wouldn’t you want that for someone you love, even and especially in real life? So, if his violent tendencies have been portrayed as “wrong”, Bad Coping Mechanisms, and rooted in childhood trauma, why is it so frowned upon in this goddamn fandom to wish for him to let go of them, since it’s something that has caused him and characters around him pain or distress or downright failure. Overcoming these flaws would mean he’d feel better about himself, and others, and his past, etc. Why is it SO wrong to wish him the best? Lmao, I don’t get it.

So when his “real fans” be like “Levi’s violence is a part of him, you don’t love him for real if you can’t accept that part. anyway he’s perfect the way he is”, I’m like…that’s actually bullshit. I just want him to be a better person, just like I wanted to be a better person when I had detrimental (for me and for the people close to me) behaviors due to mental health stuff.

It’s not even on the same level of wanting him to stop being rude, that’s part of his charm. Violence…is not a cool personality trait, and it’s something you should want him to get over.

–

I still love lots of things that were shown in the manga in regards to Eren and Levi, so I don’t get why I should justify myself for liking them together just because I don’t like some parts of one of them. I still think some of Levi’s best personality traits came out when he interacted with Eren, and I like the Levi who cares about Eren the most. Hence why I ship the goddamn ship. That’s all there is to it, really. Here I talked about what I loved about their relationship, though now I feel like a bit of a hopeful fool.

#nobody will read this 10k words long rant but whatever #shingeki asks #salt #Levi #unnecessary post but it was a good chance at venting #I feel like I haven't even touched one of the main big reason #but I don't want to talk about e*win tbh #arekupacific

Answers to Mom anon post from @doctortwhohiddles blog...

I am not going to repost all of the original answer that Mom Anon wrote (nor the original post from @doctortwhohiddles) because of space and disruptiveness that would cause to any readers, but here's my take on Mom Anon's reply to @doctortwhohiddles...

About the Vanity Fair quote...

First MOM ANON'S REPLY:

MY RESPONSE:

So she says she "thinks" the enthusiastic fans (who the Skeptic/Haters refer to as "Nans") are the "skeptics" Ben is referring to in this quote of his.

That is complete gobsmacking nonsense of course!

He CLEARLY isn't talking about enthusiastic fans! He is quite blunt right up front and identifies them as... the people who think his wife and children are PR stunts. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT ARE THE HATERS!

AND BEN KNOWS THAT! He also identifies these same people as CONSPIRACY THEORISTS ... and we ALL know which group is into THAT sort of thing (and it ISN'T the super enthusiastic fans!!!).

The part in which he zeroes in on their feelings of possessiveness about him directly related back to the Haters too. That's because, as Ben explained, this obsessive behaviour is what drives them to think that they are entitled to have a say in his private life, and AGAIN... ONLY THE HATERS ARE INTO THAT SORT OF BEHAVIOUR!

He NEVER once mentioned objecting to fans coming to see his plays more than once, NEVER mentioned fans giving him gifts are the ones who think his wife and children are faked, and NEVER once mentioned he has a problem with fans attending multiple conventions to see him!

So WHERE do people like this Mom Anon get this idea from?? How do the Haters make that enormous leap to conclude that?

Well, I think they are just saying this complete nonsense to try and justify their pathetic behaviour towards the Cumberbatches.

And if by chance they really DO believe this crap, then the Haters reeeeeeally should STOP trying to read Ben's mind and "interpret" what he means because they are ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE AT IT!

Oh, and one last point - what else could he have said... how about "no comment" ? That would have been pretty easy if he was finally asked about the nutters who have been saying his wife and family are fake.

But he chose to address it head on. So naturally the Haters, who have built a whole mythological structure around their obsession about his marriage and family, are going to just assume he was LYING when he gave an honest answer (even though, apparently, Haters like Mom Anon, actually believe he WASN'T talking about THEM when he decided to LIE about it... hey! That doesn't make any sense!!). LOL! CAUGHT YA!

About the second pregnancy picture...

MOM ANON'S REPLY:

MY RESPONSE:

OK... so produce that "proof" photo, please! But it better NOT be just some undergarment that got bunched a bit! Or a bra strap showing! It better be absolutely CLEAR that it is a prosthetic, clear enough to identify the make and model (if Anna can do this then so can I )! It better be sharply in focus and that fake belly strap better be FULLY in view! (Not some wee bit of fabric that can't be identified as anything specific).

About the journalist not EVER seeing or saying ANYTHING about fake pregnancies of Sophie's...

MOM ANON'S REPLY:

MY RESPONSE:

Wow! Yes, paps, photographers etc. Do snap pix very quickly. But IF all these pictures that the Haters claim are sooooo OBVIOUSLY showing her fake pregnancies, then how do these pictures EVER make it past the EAGLE EYES OF YGE MULTIPLE EDITORS WHO GO OVER THESE PIX WITH MAGNIFYING GLASSES BEFORE THEY ARE PUBLISHED (that's the way those things work... I ought to know - 40 years+ very close to the newspaper/publishing business)? Without them NOTICING anything "wonky" about THREE PREGNANCIES!!! And remember, it is the BUSINESS of these people to get scoops on celebrities everyday!! Oh, right! Sophie is PAYING THEM OFF TO KEEP THEM QUIET... oops! There's those "conspiracy "theories" (exclusive specialty of the Haters) coming up again! 🙄

About the name-calling of the Cumberbatch children...

MOM ANON'S REPLY:

MY RESPONSE:

That's the Hater way of saying... I'll NEVER STOP calling those innocent children vile names! How "big" of this "Mom" to decide when a child deserves to be called by their rightful name! Disgusting ENTITLED behaviour!

About Haters not giving their approval of Ben's marriage...

MOM ANON'S REPLY:

MY RESPONSE:

She claims she isn't demanding Ben have her approval of his private life BUT the proof of this is woven into the very fabric of the Hater posts they make EVERY DAY!

Haters make JUDGMENTAL PROCLAMATIONS about almost EVERY aspect of Ben's life - career, appearances, his marriage, how he behaves as a father, the food he eats, the projects he does, the clothes he wears... and much, much more! These entitled statements aren't just observational, they are completely infused with demanding "instructions" on just exactly how he SHOULD be living according to the Haters.

Haters are the ones who whinge on and on about Ben not "introducing" Sophie to his fandom in the "proper" way! They haven't "approved" of Sophie since that engagement announcement appeared in the London Times. They are constantly telling him how he SHOULD BE a husband and father (apparently - he DOESN'T hold her hand "correctly" enough for their tastes, Sophie and Ben AREN'T "loving" enough on camera for the Haters' sensibilities, they aren't GOOD ENOUGH PARENTS, etc.). So it rings VERY disingenuous of Mom Anon to say she doesn't care about Ben's private life when there is all kinds of concrete evidence to the contrary.

About the children's birth certificates...

MOM ANON'S REPLY:

MY RESPONSE:

Yeah, almost to the person, the "the children aren't his and the family is fake" crowd are pretty solidly behind the "Fake/Nonexistent Birth Certificates".

So the question of the existence of those VERY REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATES is something that EVERY Hater should answer.

So Mom Anon is just plain LYING about being so neutrally "shrug" about this issue. Mom Anon declared right from the get-go that she didn't think Sophie has been pregnant.

It is just TOO CONVENIENT that she takes this blasé attitude so that she doesn't have to address the Cumberbatch children having legitimate birth certificates.

This is prevarication plain and simple. She is skirting around from facing the truth by acting like it doesn't matter. But it does and she knows it.

Because if you believe (like Mom Anon so clearly does) that Sophie has NEVER been pregnant with Ben's children... then how exactly WOULD you explain the very real existence of those birth certificates???

And finally, we come to THE PREGNANCIES...

MOM ANON'S REPLY:

MY RESPONSE:

Yes... her first point - she states as an outright fact that Sophie got on "a plan [sic] looking seven months pregnant" and got off "looking two months pregnant". Nice try, but THAT NEVER HAPPENED! That's all complete bullshit dreamed up by the Haters. Sophie got on and off that plane looking EXACTLY THE SAME AS FAR AS HER PREGNANCY IS CONCERNED. The pictures even show this (unless you are a Hater and then you just deny reality!).

As for the "hydration" bit... this is the first time I ever even heard of that, so who were the hoards who proclaimed this "theory"???

Then Mom Anon goes on to talk about the changes and shape of Sophie's belly. Again with the definitive statements about the position of Sophie's belly, when it is all based on a series of blurry, long shots that the Haters misrepresented with ridiculous lines drawn all over them, claiming Sophie had worn her prosthetic belly UPSIDEDOWN!! Again, just HOW did this happen??? Those honeymoon pix were all taken in a matter of minutes! This Hater "theory" cakes absolutely no sense at ALL!

The Oscar pix... no proof at all that it was Sophie's bellybutton showing - instead it makes total sense that what was moving was the fetus. But that's too simple and reasonable for the Haters to accept AND it doesn't fit into their conspiracy theories!

*******************

Soooo, there you have it! The truth laid out to counteract all the lies and delusional thinking of the Haters.

We also have Ben HIMSELF talking about (occasionally) his wife and family. And there are LOTS of other people totally corroborating EVERYTHING BEN HAS SAID!

But haters obviously don't care about the TRUTH or Ben . They have their "theories" and their "opinions" and their "experts" and their "secret sources". 🙄🤔😩🤯

Have you seen Amanda Brugel's last instagram post? I'm beginning to worry Serena doesn't survive the season

HEY ANON! SERIOUS QUESTION: ARE YOU TRYING TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK LOL?! Now, cue me frantically pouring over the post!

I’m curious. What makes you think that it’s ominous? It could be my wishful thinking, but nothing screamed out at me from it? Am I blind, lol? I mean, of course, there’s Ever waxing all FOMO over it, but that’s expected cos she’s not in the show all that much as it is. And the photo, if I’m reading Amanda right, is from S1. Is that why?

Maybe it’s wishful thinking but I don’t think they’ll kill off Serena–yet. Mainly, she’s one of the central characters, and certainly the central (human) antagonist to June specifically. (We all know the real villain is Gilead and male power. Fred is a secondary antagonist imo, and more like a stand-in for Gilead itself to make it easier to see the true evil.) There is a great deal of focus on her thus far, to develop her and weave her into a story that, if we’re all being real, the Waterfords should have been gone from already and certainly by the end of S2 but we know there’s going to be even more about both of them. And there is quite QUITE a lot of potential to move Serena across the “villainy spectrum” towards neutral or even true anti-hero without it being a deus ex machina/jump the shark sort of thing. And that sort of story is pure gold for a writer. It can be milked for a long time and works easily with drama, and the feminist themes of the show. I don’t want to say “redemption arc” cos that would require A LOT of work and I think most viewers are still stuck on 210 (once again–that was a HORRIBLE MISSTEP FOR THE CREATIVE TEAM the way it was written. I’ll say that forever because so many, many people missed the underlying point about it), but movement is possible.

Also, Miller seems to really enjoy the character/actress, and Yvonne’s got a LOT of hype on social media/critics circles. I think even if you hate Serena, you recognise how stellar Yvonne’s doing. Like, that’s why Serena is so hated (other than people not understanding Serena)–Yvonne plays her so exceptionally well.

I have NO idea what the contract situation is like, but I’d suspect she has a 5-year deal, like most. Quite frankly, the only reason I can see for killing Serena off is that Yvonne wants out, to be with her new baby. It must be dreadful to have a newborn and be working 6 months on such a dark, cold show about the oppression of women and horrible things about children. But she is a professional so we’ll see.

Or, I suppose, if they want SHOCK VALUE. Cos, who really expects Serena to die? I know a lot of vocal idiots online cream themselves over her dying a painful death and wish her horrible death constantly, but those are just loud online idiots – and if I’ve learnt anything from decades of fandom, it’s that showrunners rarely give a shit about those fans or take them seriously. They’ll pander to a degree, but they deep down don’t care. (Obvs there are exceptions but most showrunners and writers have a goal and view and it doesn’t change based on the whims of rabid fans on Twitter and Tumblr. There was a time in my life that I believed they cared. They do not, lol.)

But hey, this is complete wishful thinking cos she’s my babe and I don’t want THT without her. So I live in denial that they’ll kill her off. She’s honestly the most complex and second most developed character in the entire series. It would seem short-sighted to dump a character like that.

Honestly? I think it’s far more likely that Rita will leave the show than Serena, if we’re looking at Amanda & Yvonne. Which is a shame too cos she’s the only Canadian in the main cast and a good character. It all depends I suppose on the direction they go with the Resistance/Mayday and the Waterfords. Rita and Serena could BOTH go by the end of the season.

I’m gonna rant now about the characters that SHOULD go…

In terms of characters that have run their course, I vote for the main males. Both Fred and Nick are totally redundant to me now–and this has nothing to do with my dislike of Nick, I swear. Just on a narrative level, he no longer serves much purpose if we’re supposed to be watching a show about women fighting back against a repressive patriarchal fascist regime. (I don’t need some cutsey romance subplot, thanks. And I don’t think June requires it either, not when she’s on a mission to get HANNAH back and make to Canada to reunite with her HUSBAND and bff, all whilst saving ALL the children and women of Gilead. She’s got quite enough going on. The story is supposed to be less depressing this season so the argument that the N/J thing brings “lightness” and “hope” to a bleak story is also outdated too.) He’s just redundant. Served his purpose, and it was an important purpose, don’t get me wrong! I understand his very integral role especially in S1 but it’s just run its course, imo. I think even Nick stans seem to recognise this on some level cos they’re always terrified he’s going to be killed off almost every episode lol.

I may not care for Luke either, but he actually will remain important to the story, I think and I can’t see any good reason to get rid of him. He needs to remain alive. I think it would kill June to find out he’s dead.

Fred is just… a cartoon now and needs to go. How many more Evil TM things can he do? Yawn. We don’t need the personification of Gilead anymore I don’t think. We get it. Both Nick and Fred have dodged certain death now and it’s just like, OKAY, with June I get it cos she’s the protag, but them? Give me a break. Lazy. The only reason I don’t think they’ll kill off Nick is pure fanservice. I can’t see any rational reason other than that. Those LOUD fangirls will have a fucking meltdown. (I’ll say that when I speak to non-fandom people offline about the show, the vast majority don’t really care about the N*ck/June storyline nearly as much. Most people I’ve spoken with care much more about the larger issues–and it was crazy cos I was talking to a friend that I hadn’t seen in like 4 months about THT, and I know isn’t a fan of THT–like she watches it but isn’t in fandom. Just casual. And I brought up Serena (of course I did) but I was very critical of her, and she (who knows ZERO about my true feelings for Serena lol) was defensive of the character. It blew my mind cos she’s really not the type to defend problematic characters or villains. (I honestly thought she’d be a Nick fan, N/J fan, and Serena hater. But she’s a JUNE fan first and foremost, doesn’t really care for N/J but thought it was cute at the time, and doesn’t hate Serena.) She even brought up points that we Serena fans say, completely unprompted by me. So, I think in terms of casual fans, they’re a little more perceptive than the vocal majority of N*ck/June fangirls that dominate fandom. God, it’s such a relief to talk to offline people sometimes. By and large, they seem far more reasonable when it comes to this show and where the focus should be. (I should probably mention that almost all of the people I’ve spoken to about THT have been over the age of 25 (many over 30), which probably has something to do with it tbh.)

Both Fred and Nick are props for the female characters, and I think June and Serena are developed enough at this point to stand on their own without the need for either of those dudes. I don’t need men to help tell a story about women, thanks.

But again, I’m just some online voice. The producers and showrunners don’t give a shit what I think. They don’t even know I exist. And that’s probably a good thing (considering my obsession with having June/Serena fuck, lol. I’m gonna wager they don’t wanna see that.).

I’m just gonna pretend I am not now freaking out about Serena being killed off in S3. As much as I think it may be a terrible idea, I honestly don’t put it past this show…

For Reality Check:

No, not everyone has a “type”. And no, not everyone is interested in a person’s looks or finds it really important, believe it or not. For some looks are the MOST important thing…and for some (like me) it’s the LEAST important thing in a person. I agree that attraction is something that just happens and there isn’t much you can do about it. Either you’re attracted to someone or you’re not. Either you have chemistry or you don’t. For me personally it was always something about a guy’s personality that attracted me to them. Looks alone do absolutely nothing to me. But maybe that’s just me. Sure there are guys who I think look hot, but that doesn’t automatically mean I’m attracted to them in any kind of way. I just think they look handsome. Sort of in a way a poster or a picture of someone can look great without it giving me any kind of feels. And there are guys who just look average, but have an amazing sense of humor and make me laugh or who are the sweetest guys you can find and are really smart and I find myself crushing on them head over heels. What comes to artists of any kind, I couldn’t care LESS what they look like. It didn’t matter to me when I was a kid or a teen and it doesn’t matter to me now. That would be CRAZY! I know there are people who are only fans because they are crushing on the artist’s looks but I was never really able to understand that. Newsflash, I loved 30STM’s music before I knew what any of the band members looked like. So no, it wasn’t looks that got me interested. It was the music. And if it were only looks, I wouldn’ve been LONG gone, believe me. But I am still here because I truly love the music, with ALL my heart. And you will never hear me say that J isn’t a great artist or that the songs wouldn’t be “that great” because they are f'n AMAZING. And my opinion on that is NEVER going to change. No matter how much I’d be repulsed by certain things and wouldn’t agree on certain things, I would never start bashing J’s talent. Because I have no reason to. What I care about is “Do I like their work or not?” and also “Do they seem authentic? Are they selling me a scam or is it real and worthy of my time?”. What I’m trying to say is that, while there are people who have fantasies about being with the artists they are crushing on and who find looks extremely important…there are also those who couldn’t care less about any of that. So to throw everyone who ever dares to critcize the “Holy Almighty J” in any kind of way in the same category, is a bit ignorant and unfair. And I always find it interesting how people always assume that one MUST be fat, old, ugly and insecure, love-sick fan if one dares to say ANYTHING negative about J in any way. Why is that? Like, one POSSIBLY couldn’t be confident and pretty if one didn’t like everything J does? That’s hilarious. Anyhow, of course J can be into WHATEVER type he wants. That’s not the point or the issue. He’s a goodlooking dude, it’s to be assumed he will be into thin, goodlooking women. Big deal. Not to say that all men are that superficial and shallow, because that would be unfair, but the majority of them are. Deal. But show me even one FRIEND (yes, just a friend) J has who doesn’t fit into the model category? How many female friends does he have that he hangs out with who are not the model type? Zero. There has not ONCE been a girl around him who was even just normal weight instead of model thin. Maybe H, but even that is REALLY pushing it and closing both eyes. And don’t give me any of the Hollywood BS as an excuse that it’s just because everyone in L.A. looks like that and that’s why all of his friends too fit in a certain “type”. Like he has NEVER EVER in his whole life met ANY females who maybe were normal weight or fat and who were really nice and funny and smart and worthy of hanging out with? There just isn’t any people like that in all of L.A.? All of the U.S.A.? Or mind you, the whole PLANET? That’s why he couldn’t POSSIBLY have ALL kinds of types of girls as friends? Because everyone he meets where ever he goes just happen to be 20 year old models? Yeah, sure. I don’t know about you but if I look at my friends, guys and girls, I have everything from old to young, rich to poor and really fat to model type as friends. Same with all of my friends. I don’t know ONE friend, guy or a girl who would have ONLY one type of friends. And that includes a guy friend of mine who is a COMPLETE “playboy” too, but even he is capable of having FRIENDS of all types and shapes. So it’s like J is so repulsed by anyone who doesn’t look like a model that he couldn’t bear to hang out with them and have them as friends. That is the only expanation I can find. Because it does not make any sense other wise. Girlfriends and f*ckbuddies, I get it. You can’t choose who you’re attracted to. But just FRIENDS?! Is he THAT shallow? And in general, what you see is not what you get with him. He tries to hold up an image that is not who he is. He says one thing and does the other. He’s fake. He can’t be bothered to wish fans happy holidays or happy new year or thank them for bday wishes but he has no problem with asking for a LOT of favors. He is taking the fans for granted more and more, especially lately. And I don’t like it. It’s arrogant and disrespectful. So yes, he’s cute, but personality wise, he’s lacking and “not my type” or something or someone I’d like or be attracted to as a person after what I’ve seen of him. I adore him as an artist, but as a person…no. Not after what I’ve seen (and that includes more than just his young, model obsession.) I don’t think he is a BAD person or a MEAN person or someone who’d go around intentionally hurting or insulting people. It’s not that. Not at all. It’s just a difference of opinion and lifestyle and different values and “morals” and manners. Nothing personal. So why is it “unfair and illogical and hypocritical” for me and possibly others to say it? Because you assume we are “fat, screaming, insecure girls who just ‘hate’ on J because we can’t have him” because no one else could possibly have any problem with his personality simply as a human being? Because a thin, confident, pretty person OF COURSE automatically would bow down to anything J says and does and would agree on everything with him and would worship him? And THEIR opinion OF COURSE would have way more value and validity. Yeah, that sounds “logical”… (FYI, I’m neither fat nor ugly. Nor insecure. Nor lusting after J. Nor do I “hate” him. I just don’t like certain personality traits and certain things he does.) Just like you said that not being attracted to someone doesn’t make them a bad person. Doesn’t it go both ways? If I think J is a great artist but lacking personality wise, don’t I have the right to say it without it making me a “hater” or “insecure, love-sick girl”? It’s not like I’d go scream at his face “I DON’T LIKE YOU!” or spam him sm with messages telling him what I don’t like about him. Just like he most likely wouldn’t go scream at anyone’s face either to tell them how unattracted he is to them. Why is it okay for J not to be attracted to some people but it’s not okay if we are not attracted to every personality trait of his and say so? He’s a great artist and he can date and hang out with whoever he wants and do what ever he wants, but it doesn’t mean I have to like everything he does or says just because I’m a fan of his music. And if I don’t find something authentic, then I won’t support it. I have that right. J is not in any way obligated to us and doesn’t owe us anything and we are not obligated to anything nor do we owe him anything just because we happened to buy his albums. “That’s how the story goes."

Thanks, anon :)

You made several good points there.
