#Anti lonnie

[megaaceofspades]

if you’re a fan of enemies to lovers and also a fan of tim drake (or if you hate him bc of fanon reasons stay here for a minute trust me) PLEASE consider my proposition.

so one of my big problems with timsteph is that it does a disservice to steph’s character almost all of the time, and also they’re not compatible, my issue with timkon is that they give off best friends with no boundaries and that their codependency is lowkey not vibey, AND people are weird about it. my issue with timbern IS THAT ITS BORING.

so! whats left you may ask. lonnie machin aka anarky.

brief history of the character: lonnie was maybe concieved to be the third robin, something that tim drake would go on to do. he’s incredibly smart, and incredibly strong in his convictions. he got caught operating as the vigilante Anarky by Batman and was put into juvie. in juvie, he had a scheme to funnel moneys from corporations into the third world. tim drake ended up spoiling this plan, leading to the infamous-

of course, after lonnie gets out, they keep interacting-

and of course, the two of them and tam fox have some funny moments together.

also, they both fight with staffs and with hacking, and they’re narrative parallels with different morals. timlonnie is so underrated in terms of the dynamic they have and also the potential they have as a enemies to rivals to lovers ship. the potential they could have, not as a couple that changes each other, but as a couple that meets in the middle?

of course feel free to support whatever you want except for batcest, i just wanted more people to think about it!!

when ppl hate adora for electrocuting catra in order to save her in s3, i think to myself:

you ppl would absolutely hate adora if she left catra to die. lmao.

"How can you like that character? They mistreated/abused/killed your favorite!" Simple: These characters are simply the barbies in my closets. I dress them up and they dance for me and have never done anything wrong because its all pretend

i apologize.

so. despite my best efforts my Descendants brainrot has returned. i sincerely apologize for the person i will become. if you don’t want me interacting with your stuff just block me, i promise i won’t be offended. i know i can be incredibly annoying about this stuff.

anyways! here are my main Descendants takes:

Mal is a horrible person and one of the most terribly written protagonists i’ve ever seen.

Ben deserved better. Evie deserved better. Audrey deserved better. Uma deserved better. Carlos and Jay deserved better. Pretty much every character except Mal deserved better.

Even if I did like Mal, I’d still want to see other characters given more screen time.

The premise of Descendants is very fucked up and one of my favorite parts about interacting with the fandom is exploring the ways in which te world of Descendants is inherently traumatizing.

I am a multishipper. Honestly the only ships I hate are the ones with Mal in them because I don’t want her toxic ass near any of my babies.

I didn’t watch Descendants 4 and I don’t intend to any time soon, so I don’t feel that I’m in a position to speak on it. However, in terms of fandom discourse around it, here are my thoughts: Respect queer headcanons just as you would any other, even if you don’t agree with them. Glasshearts is cute. Leave the actresses alone. Brandy and Paolo ATE. I would die for them. From what little we’ve seen of Red, she’s already a better protagonist than Mal ever was.

Please learn to separate actors from their characters.

anything with the tag #0 writes is my original post.

“adora finally got the buff gf she wanted!”

the “buff” gf in question:

[antispopausandstuff]

y'know, despite the show's attempts at wishy-washiness or the 'both parties were wrong' trope with Catra and Adora, and the fandom clearly buying it, there was still an aspect that even the writers weren't entirely willing to overlook:

that Catra made her choice.

hell, in s5, Catra literally says:

"no, she doesn't. she chose her side, i chose mine. she means nothing to me."

many times throughout the series, the show reinstates that Catra made her choices to be a bad person, to hurt and kill people, to choose destruction over restoration, and taking away the other person's choice by domineering with her own.

people can pretend that it was Adora's fault ( whether solely or 'too' ) all they wish, but the show has direct texts that Catra chose her life to get worse and worse. that no one took that decision away from her, but that she took a moral decision Adora made as a personal slight against her for no reason other than because it wasn't what she envisioned for her own future.

not her and Adora's future. her future.

Catra has made it painfully clear that what Adora actually wants never mattered to her as much as taking over the Horde and demanding respect and power. though the show caters to her Mary Sue-ness a lot, Crimson Waste is a perfect example of her demands.

rather than empathizing and trying to understand the situations of those outlaws, bandits, and ex-soldiers, Catra instead domineers by claiming that her life was so much more difficult than those who literally have to steal and fight, likely kill, to survive every single day, be adult, teen, or child.

rather than of forming compassion and respect to those around her, Catra instead mocks and patronizes people who are almost exactly like her ( Tongue Lasher ) or puts fear in them to force respect. she becomes not only like Shadow Weaver, but like Hordak as well.

the show continues showing case after case after case of Catra asserting herself in making the morally corrupt choices of supporting the source of war, committing universal genocide, committing the death of a monarch, stealing towns and civilians, all because of one person not doing exactly what she wanted.

so many stans believe that she wasn't in her best state of mind to actually make these decisions, but even if she wasn't, Catra still has literal blood on her hands, has put fear into so many people, destroyed countless lives through the crimes of war, and completely shattered Adora's concept of self through acts of severe physical, emotional, mental, and psychological abuse.

taking away her autonomy ( which is exactly what the fandom at large is doing by saying she didn't actually choose anything ) doesn't take away the fact that she is a war criminal. a remorseless war criminal.

there's only so much intention ( whether or not it's there ) can make up for. and there's no intention in the entire goddamn universe that can make up for what Catra did.

rewatching ST cus what else am i gonna do (touch grass? no im good)

i’m on 105 at 3:52 and lonnie’s demeanor towards the whole will situation is just horrible. he doesn’t seem upset or sad and hurt at all that will is gone and that pains me so so much for the other byers.

i don’t doubt that all three of them were seriously abused, whether it be verbally, physically, mentally, emotionally or all of the above (which i think it was).

idk who i hate more, lonnie or brenner 💀

[human-being-on-earth]

(Completely unrelated, but i rllyyyyy wanna move to Minnesota, but i can't bc im a minor but as soon as I can, i will asap)

Anyways

Byler memes/proof (like one or two of st in general, but they all include mike or will) <3

...ok i may have went overboard just a lil bit-

(And i have a few more i couldn't put in bc of tumblrs 10 images only limit)

(Also, none of the images are mine)

[strangerthanyou011]

thinking about the byers vs the wheelers, and the way the kids are reflections of their parents and it explains so much of the dynamics of jancy and byler..

joyce and lonnie were unhappy together, so they separated. they are not the kinds of people to stay in a miserable relationship for any reason, and they passed this onto will and jonathan. they know they deserve to be happy, be with someone they want to be with. they’ve both known they wanted to be with nancy and mike, but have had to wait for them to realize and accept that too- thats why its always on the wheelers to make the first move.

karen and ted are clearly unhappy together, but havent done anything about it. they should separate, but they don’t like to take risks. they’ve passed this fear of straying from the norm onto nancy and mike, and though they’ve grown to hate the idea of trying to fit the status quo, they haven’t quite shaken this fear of risks. nancy has made more progress than mike because she’s older, and the consequences for her being who she really is are much less scary than the possible consequences for mike being who he really is. mike needs to stop making the mistakes his parents did, let go of other people’s expectations, and allow himself to live his life authentically and find his true happiness.

I love how the only M*leven proof is that they are "canon", like, JOYCE AND LONNIE WERE CANON TOO??🤨

[wheelercore]

For as long as i was obsessed with Rosemarys Baby i did not realize until tonight that Lonnie is literally Guy woodhouse. Im convinced Lonnies actor was cast in part because he resembles John Cassavetes more than slightly (Guy's actor). A win for the "lonnie was in on will's disappearance" team. This is the only proof i need honestly.

[will80sbyers]

Before people were ableist because they wanted to headcanon Dustin as ace/aro because they relate to him and now you're ableist if you don't want to forgive a 40year old serial killer just because he had a difficult childhood and mental health problems, having trauma doesn't justify you committing crimes and abuse on other people like it doesn't justify Billy being a racist piece of shit to Lucas and abusive to Max or Lonnie being Will's and Jonathan's abuser... forgive him all you want but I will not and I will be happy when he's not around anymore to abuse even more innocent people.
