Lily: let the police handle it!
Also Lily: *makes a widely viewed video accusing an innocent person of kidnapping her sister, doxxes someone, then basically victim blames someone because they were attacked implying it's because they didn't listen to her.*
Also Lily: I'M the victim here, it's MY sister that's missing and you stole MY friends!
Girl you've kept yourself away from your own friends, and every time you showed up it was to be mean or to make things worse, them not liking you is on YOU. And YOU live in the same town as your friends, the MC does not, MC is being an online friend unlicensed Detective over here for free not asking for all this drama. And if MC did live in Duskwood and got arrested because of accusations like that then how the heck is your sister SUPPOSED TO BE FOUND BY POLICE if they got the wrong person?!
Not to mention her leaking someone's private information. Do not get me started on that. Because there are no coherent words aside from "What the frag is wrong with you?!".
So yes my MC will be sending Lilly the bill. Even after her.... "redemption"....
I may be a tad salty....

Two things I’ll never understand:
Jason Todd being a “womaniser”
Idk wtf dc is on with this one but Jason Todd is not and never will be a womaniser. Like that man might be a 6 foot wall of muscles, trauma, and repressed emotions but he has zero to no experience when it comes to sex. He died as a virgin and was resurrected as one, he was groomed by Talia (acc to some canon representations, I think) so he already didn’t think of sex as this amazing or perfect thing and even if he does have sex where he feels comfortable and safe — he will cry, like who are you kidding??? Jason has mentioned that he can’t distinguish between romantic and platonic love, he’s always been too focused on his missions/job/goal to care about romance— where in the fucking hell is this guy getting time to fuck around with women??? Dc??? wtf????
Jason Todd being a cheater.
I get why people think this bcs other males in the Bat Family have not always been very… faithful, let’s say. But Jason Todd cheating on his woman??? NO FUCKING WAY. This man has had no glimpse of what a healthy and safe relationship is supposed to look like and if he finds someone who gives him that??? If he finds someone who loves him unconditionally, someone who sees behind the mask and loves the broken boy, someone who doesn’t flinch even when all of him is bare— I bet you my biscuits Jason would never even look at someone else let alone think about cheating. Jason Todd is not just any men — he’s the man. He’ll worship someone who gives him the love he’s always been deprived of. When he loves someone, he’s all in. He loves fiercely and loudly; that’s just who Jason Todd is. He’s never cheating. Period.
#dc when I find you dc#idk what’s up with dc fucking up such amazing characters#anyway this is my very specific rant#cos it’s 3 am#and it was my thinking about fictional characters time#so… yeah#anyways#batfamily#batfam#jasontodd#jason todd#dc#red hood#incorrect batfamily quotes#redhood#jason todd x reader#jason todd drabble#jason todd thoughts#jaybird#jason todd x you#jason todd imagines#im just ranting#but still#i love him so much#can’t see his character getting fucked up like this#bcs ughhhh#whatever#i should sleep#bye

i dont really like it when people dumb down Curly's characterization to just the guy enabling Jimmy. I get that that makes it easier to not like him, so that's why a lot of people do that, because they feel guilty about sympathizing with someone who's done smth fucked up like that, but i really don't think it's giving Curly the justice he deserves.
regardless of if you like him as a person or not, Curly is still a victim and he suffered greatly at Jimmy's hand. Just because he did something fucked up doesn't make him a 'monster' (sorry because i saw someone say that he looks like a monster post-crash and thats sticking with me because why TF are we saying disabled burn victims look like LITERAL MONSTERS- yall use some common sense I BEG)
Dumbing down characters is what fandom does best, but i think it particularly irks me in Mouthwashing because of the nature of the story. Jimmy already thinks of the rest of the crew poorly and doesn't see them for how they really are, we don't need to be doing that too.
I also feel like people don't really recognize the fact Jimmy manipulates and abuses Curly too, even before the crash. What Curly did was fucked up but for the love, don't dumb him down to just this one thing he did.
#as someone who loves to analyze medias for characterization patterns some of yalls takes actually pain me#its kinda obvious yall didnt actually think hard about the different scenes and the interactions between everyone#like replay the game or rewatch a play through and focus on character interactions- then come back to me#ALSO THE PREVALENT ABLEISM IN THIS FANDOM DEAR FKIN GOD#YALL REALIZE THAT BEING ABLEIST TO A FICTIONAL CHARACTER ALSO EFFECTS THE DISABLED RIGHT#thats a whole other rant post tho#mouthwashing#jimmy mouthwashing#fuck you jimmy#curly mouthwashing#captain curly#mouth washing#riv rambling

also, and i know fandom is by nature full of some very young people, but y’all have got to get normal about divorce i’m begging. like it’s fictional characters and shipping and it doesn’t matter but also. divorce is great!no-fault divorce is a civil rights issue for a reason!!
and idk, i grew up in a blended family calling my dad’s first wife auntie and adding my half-siblings’ half-siblings to my family trees in school so i guess it’s just been normal for me my whole life but. i’m literally so confused? by the way people are crashing out over divorce plots in FAN FICTION?? can we please all get a grip/less catholic?
#ugh sorry to rant but i’m so tired#& i saw someone on twt calling people out for being ‘pro divorce’ and had a mini mindbreak like what in the christo-fascist fuck???#yes this is about frank langdon and what of it?#like#i’m sorry this fictional man has a canonically bad marriage and electric chemistry with another character who we actually see on screen#dare i tag this#kingdon#melfrank

Also, sorry, I’m hung up on this: didn’t Maddie and Chimney break up twice??? Once after the whole Doug thing because they didn’t think they were ready and then late decided they were (who does that sound like??) and then once after Jee was born where Maddie walked away and then Chimney went after her and they decided to break up and then got back together??
It’s just like, imagine if they hadn’t decided to fix things, even the first time? What if people told them to move on and not live in the past? And what if they had listened.
Also, Chimney called Karen and told her that Hen was dead because he knew they were both sad over their breakup! He didn’t tell them to jump back into the pond! He was friends with both Hen and Karen, and he’s friends with both Tommy and Buck! It would make sense for him to want them to work out!
This rant is all to say it feels very out of character for Madney, and I really just hope there’s a reason for it. That it’s being done to push Buck into deciding to make his own decisions.
#911#911 spoilers#bucktommy#I should be working y’all#I’m and sitting at my desk ranting on tumblr about fictional characters#but im FINE

"Episode 4 made me hate Ragatha"
...how? Because she called Gangle annoying when she has her happy mask?
Like, first of all she was drugged on the "stupid sauce". I know there's the argument that it basically had Ragatha spill her unfiltered thoughts about other people (such as not just Gangle but also Zooble and (deservedly) Jax), but if she hadn't been under the sauce's influence, her usual friendly and polite facade would've been intact the whole episode and not said those things.
I believe what Jax said was far worse in comparison (which is of course, typical Jax behavior), saying he "liked better when she was sad", since in comparison to Happy!Gangle (who's more manic, more assertive, and kind of a control freak), Sad!Gangle is meek and sensitive and (in Jax's eyes) a doormat, someone who he can easily torment and take his frustrations with the world around him out on without them screwing him over in return. There's a reason why he enjoys picking on her the most out of the ensemble, and right now he's pissed that the shoe is now on the other foot.
Anyway back to Ragatha. Because secondly and more importantly—

GANGLE LEFT RAGATHA DROWNING HEAD FIRST IN A DEEP FRYER.
I know that it was Jax who threw her in (again, typical Jax behavior) but Gangle (as both Ragatha's friend and the manager) still could've helped her outta there, but instead she just jollily walks off while Ragatha is sinking deeper into the oil. (She doesn't die from it, of course, but we clearly see that she's screaming and flailing in pain.)
And you know what else? This isn't even the first time this sort of thing has happened.
The first episode of the series has Ragatha get flung around by an abstracted Kaufmo and starts glitching out as a result (which, like the deep fryer, seems just as painful if not worse.) Pomni, after apologizing for not intervening promises Ragatha (who's a bit more nonchalant that any usual person would be in that position) that she'll go find Caine in order to help fix her.
Minutes later Pomni enters the endless exit doors, in an attempt to leave the circus, not thinking about what would happen to Ragatha.
And the thing is, Ragatha would've had every right to be mad at Pomni. And in Episode 2, it's more than implied that she is at least a little hurt by it.




Yet, despite that, Ragatha never takes it out on Pomni. She just brushes the moment off (or at least tries to) and spends most of the episode trying to befriend Pomni and even later vents to Kinger about her concerns about not being able to help Pomni feel welcome in her new environment. No matter how much physical or mental pain she endures, she keeps her polite and friendly facade. (Really, the only times we see her get pissed is whenever Jax is being an asshole.)
Which, begs the question: how many times has Ragatha gone through this sort of thing? How many times has she attempted to befriend others who later turn and walk away when she's suffering? Has this happened so many times to the point where in the first two episodes she brushes it off like it’s a normal occurrence for her?Judging by her reaction when Pomni thanks her for showing concern for her in episode 3, that could've been the first time someone has ever said that sort of thing to her.
For all we know, Ragatha's unfiltered remarks about others in Episode 4 was her being fed up with being the universe's ragdoll (literally and figuratively). And, since apparently Episode 5 is going to be Ragatha focused, she could be close to snapping (not in an abstraction way at least I hope not) and dropping her own "happy mask" completely.
Honestly I commend the amount of restraint Ragatha has on herself even while on the stupid sauce, because she could've said something far worse than just calling someone "annoying" and a "grouch" (Caine's swear censors aside)
#Just to be clear I'm not trying to demonize Gangle or Pomni here. they're both fictional characters with flaws and personal struggles#and they're all stuck in a digital hellhole controlled by an AI who doesn't know shit about human mentalities#I'm just kinda peeved with how much flak Ragatha got after Ep 4#when she kinda has her own reasons to be at least a LITTLE annoyed at others#Especially considering that she (like Gangle) bottles up her feelings and puts on a happy face for those same people#this was originally a short rant post but it turned into a character analysis whoops#the amazing digital circus#tadc#ragatha#pomni#jax#gangle#character analysis#tadc analysis

just saw a bertholdt hoover hate blog made in the year of our lord 2025. what are we doing. you wanted to start the new year with having beef with a character that has been dead and gone for almost a decade.
#like why#get a… life? idk. not my place to judge#but why center your life around vehement hatred. especially for you to start your year with it.#especially towards a fictional character. especially towards a fictional character who has such little recognition in canon AND in fandom#who are you beefing with bruh#and why#find something to love instead of hate. why piss yourself off all the time.#txt#snk#aot#bertholdt hoover#reibert#<- bc they also went on rants about hating it sm— and it’s kinda funny

Little rant and probably a controversial opinion, please don't burn me at the stake for that If i asked you to guess how many dazai anon accounts have i blocked here till now, what number would u think of? Bc i just checked - i currently have 9 of their accounts blocked. 2 from this week alone. And it's not like i go around hunting for them. I just randomly open tumblr to check what silly things did ppl say about my art, and then i see 50 different reblogs, comments or asks from dazai anon alone, being no longer only mean to Chuuya or skk, but bashing my art or telling me to off myself!!! Yay!! And u know, it wasn't a problem in the beginning. The stuff they write is comedic with how stupid it is. I could also interact with em smh (ngl, they left me for a good while after i drew them and chuuya making out that one time). And as i said, before they didn't attack me personally. But then i started getting comments that i shouldn't interact with dazai anon bc something something they're mentally unstable? Like im sorry, but how is this my problem. They come to me and regularly tell me to hurt myself, but i can't even reply to them bc "sab, it's no use, they're sick smth smth smth, just block them"?? Like bruh aight, it's just that sitting silently actually starts to affect me. Bc no matter how many accounts i block, they come back with a new one the moment they realize they're blocked. And the whole carousel of "block, dont interact" starts again. I just think it's not really alright to tell ppl that they can't in any way stand up for themselves? Why do i have to care about personal wellbeing or a sad backstory of someone who doesn't respect mine? Why should i even know about their problems? They're a complete stranger to me and i don't really go around reading random people's biographies on the internet. Like aughhh it's seriously starting to annoy me now,,,, i'm not saying ppl ACCEPT what dazai anon does, but using the excuse that they're not okay mentally just doesn't sit right with me, idk. Mental health problems should never be an excuse for hurting others, imo.
#sab yapping#this became longer than i intended#idk what im even talking about bc it's not like it's gonna change anything#ppl tell u that someone who harasses u is just mentally unstable so it's alright for em to just go around saying all that stuff#you as an artist shouldn't rile them up yada yada it's gonna help#spoiler: it doesn't bc yall just dont see the mess that r my notifs when they make a new acc each week#and like im currently on hiatus for a lot of reasons#mental health being one of em#i have my problems too but i dont go around being mean to ppl bc i disagree with em about some fictional characters oh god#sorry for the rant but im angy

i really love every kingdon trope/scenario but i have this REALLY SPECIFIC take on mel's personality in my head that is Really hard for me to properly imagine her when people decide to write about her being bitter or petty or malicious towards… anyone. like No sorry i don't think mel would wear frank's ring on a necklace??? i also kind of struggle imagining her as an explicit sexual person. this is no way trying to infantilize her but i do see her (in my mind) as a very private, really careful person when it comes to showing such a vulnerable state to others. i mean of course she would find frank's dirty talking sexy but they're veeery different and i find their relationship so fascinating because even though mel is not as audacious in that sense, i do think she can reciprocate in other ways. and of course still be sexy!!!!! I KNOW i'm kind of gatekeeping her personality and we don't even know That much about her but it feels sooo out of character how some people decide to write her in these scenarios. i also think it would be interesting if writers explored the possibility of her identifying herself as asexual and then doubting it after trying some things with frank. i mean a lot of us (esp women,,,,) go through similar situations of existential identity crisis hhhhh
#yes this is a rant about a fictional character and yes i Do consider myself a melissa king expert..#mel x langdon#mel x frank#kingdon#the pitt#the pitt fanfiction#melissa king#mel king#frank langdon#langdon#mel#langdonmel

TBH my ‘vision’ of Maglor is more of a music nerd than any kind of drama queen fanon makes him out to be sometimes.
Like someone who just doesn’t see the political ramifications other people saw in his songs, when it really was just a good metaphor. Someone with messy hair and pulls it back without even brushing it before going to a royal festival. The geeky, melancholic version of Finrod in his own family. A Maglor so obsessed with music and words he thinks about the sheer art of the Oath’s words rather than the context within itself or what it entails. Someone who wasn’t aware of how the Noldolantë could have been taken the wrong way and didn’t even finish it before he vanished from history (or, who knows, he probably forgot to bring the lyrics written with him when the Gap burned), probably had a meltdown when he realized that he had lost it. Someone who loves music so much that, after all is finished, he fades while singing, because it was all he had left.
Someone who once had a joyful, innocent spirit which was brutally killed after he did.
#maglor#thought dump#Tolkien#Silmarillion#lotr#feanorians#add onto this and/or disagree idc have fun with it#but if I find one person saying ‘Maglor was more like feanor than curufin was’#I have a certain set of skills-#I will find you#I will hunt you down#and I will-#bc that’s statement gives me such a headache so darn quickly it’s not even funny#it’s like everyone ignores ‘tolkien sparks notes’ in the HoME or smth#yeah I’m referring to how Tolkien intentionally made Maglor into a more redeemable feanorians than the others#and noted Maglor having his mother’s more gentle temperament#I could rant about that for hours#but a kinslayer analysis ain’t worth my time#bc next thing you know people will assume I’m an apologist and blah blah blah#sure Maglor’s my favorite character in fictional history but I recognize that he was techinically a villain.#a tragic one but one nonetheless#sons of feanor

Do you think of Ginny as a “pick me girl”? Some of the things you say in your post makes her come across as that, which is sad since she is a strong female character and there’s so many m|m bloggers who shitting on strong female characters these days.
I don't know if you're just looking for a fight or if you're genuine, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt about this subject once.
Yes, I think Ginny comes off as a bit of a "pick me" which I already wrote about here, which I don't think was intentional on JKR's part. I don't think Ginny was intended to come off the way she did.
Like, Ginny in the early books is just, really boring, in my opinion. and I think Ginny in book 5 had the potential to be an interesting character. She had a good sense of humor and she seemed somewhat in line with the twins (though on the crueler side), but I despise Ginny of books 6 and 7.
Like, all power to you for like Ginny and her romance with Harry. Truly, have fun with your canon pairing, I wish you the best and that you find many fics that portray them just as you like to see them.
But I don't see them that way. I think Ginny is a badly written character, and I think her romance with Harry is similarly badly written. It has nothing to do with gay ships. Trust me, if Harry was written into a compelling romance with a well-written female character, I'd be all over that. But he wasn't.
I mean, hell, I don't even ship Drarry, which is the most popular gay ship for Harry because I don't like Draco much. I think he's written well for what he is in the story, but I just don't vibe with him.
Becouse I don't need an excuse to dislike a character or a pairing. I can give my reasons, I have them, but I'm (and anyone else is) allowed to say I just don't vibe with a character. Even if Ginny was the best-written character in literature (she isn't) and her romance with Harry was perfectly written (it isn't) I could still shit on her as much as I want to, you know why?
Becouse she's fictional.
Fictional characters can't be offended. You can't be mean to a fictional character. Because fictional characters don't have feelings. They're not real.
You can say you personally find it sad people don't like Ginny the way you do, and you can be personally disappointed — but it isn't objectively sad. It isn't sad for Ginny becouse Ginny isn't real and only real people have feelings. It's sad to you, that's your opinion.
I love Harry, he's my favorite and I made it no secret, but I have good irl friends who shit on him in casual conversation and I can laugh with them when they make a funny joke about him even when we disagree, you know why? — we agree to disagree. We know Harry is fictional and that he doesn't care. Because he isn't real, he can't care.
So, for me, it doesn't matter if you shit and hate on fictional characters and fictional relationships as long as you're decent to real people.
You aren't a misogynist for disliking a female fictional character. She's fictional. She isn't real. You would be a misogynist if you mistreated irl women because they're women. In the same vein, you aren't a homophobe for disliking a popular gay ship. You would be a homophobe if you mistreated irl gay people because of their sexuality. You aren't wrong for disliking a fictional character or ship for any reason, even if the reason is just "vibes". You would be a dick if you mistreated irl people because they don't think the same as you about a fictional character or ship.
I personally find it sad that fandom seems to have lost the ability to say "agree to disagree" and move on (if the ability ever existed in the first place). I follow some blogs who shit on HJP himself because they post other stuff I find compelling. I follow blogs that post a lot of Drarry because I like how they write Harry even if I don't really care for Draco. You can like someone and enjoy their writing and be friendly with them even if you don't agree with them on some fictional characters and fictional relationships. And if it really bothers you, you can block and move on as many of us do.
So yeah, I think Ginny comes off as a "pick me." I think she's a badly written character, and you can disagree with me on that, you can think she's a strong female character, but that's your opinion, not an objective truth. And I dislike her for being a badly written character, which, I assure you, is gender-natural.
I also think it's important to remember that at the end of the day, we're all just playing with dolls, and the only feelings that matter are those of real people.
#sorry for the rant but this attitude is one I find annoying#fictional characters aren't real people and shouldn't be treated like they are#and an opinion =/= objective fact#ginny and harry canonically being together = objective fact#ginny being a strong female character = opinion#asks#anonymous#anti ginny weasley#hollowedrambling#fandom#about fandom tendency in general

in regards to the constant dismissal of his aroace identity, i hate it when alastor 'fans' say and use the excuse: "he's fictional, he won't get offended."
like, you're right, but it can and will offend us.
when you see yourself being represented on screen, of course you'd feel enthusiastic about it — representation allows individuals to see themselves reflected in the media they consume, validating their identities and experiences. but when so many people take that representation and decide to disregard and discard it, it is so fucking frustrating. we finally have another character to be part of the tiny amount of representation we have, but then people don't even care about how much it means to us? like yeah, alastor won't get offended because he's not real, but it frustrates and annoys us. do you realize that it's also technically invalidating the aroace community? that you're invalidating our feelings? imagine feeling like you're finally being seen because your orientation is finally being represented in media, and people just decide to blatantly ignore, discard, and invalidate it.
media has such a powerful influence on real life, representation being a prevalent factor of it. there are numerous posts that dictate how people went to watch a movie/show or read a book just because a character depicts their identity in it — obviously, being represented is an incredibly uplifting and validating experience.
which is why seeing an aroace character in a popular show is so meaningful to us because we live in a world where romance and sex are literally everywhere and prioritized above all else. (and it's pretty obvious that alastor's on the repulsed end of the spectrum, but even if he wasn't, at least make an effort to acknowledge his sexuality instead of continuing to portray him as allo; aroace folks can be in relationships but it's not going to be the same thing with allos' experiences.)
any and every representation matters, but why does that seem to stop at people under the aroace spectrum? like y'all can't even let us appreciate the scraps of representation we have. we barely have any, so are we really that dramatic for being upset at how people easily disregard and dismiss our identities that are being depicted on screen just like that? is it truly wrong of us to want to defend and maintain the little representation we have?
#like imagine if i asked you ab your fav character and then i said i hated them and proceeded to insult them#wouldn't that irritate you even just a bit and maybe even come to their defense?#like why would you be offended when they're not even real lmaoo#they're fictional and won't get offended but if you love that character then YOU might feel offended and maybe even defend them#ok now take that situation and put it into this context#except it's much more meaningful bc it's about representation#just a random thought#i'm not against shipping him or finding him attractive (bc same LMAO) or the fanart btw#i just hate it when people use bs excuses to justify their obvious dismissal & indifference towards aro/ace rep#like at least acknowledge his identity :((#sorry for the long ass rant and if some parts don't make sense i'm not in the best mood rn lol#and i've been wanting to get this off my chest for a while#didn't know double standards were a thing when it came to representation....#but here we are#alastor#aroace alastor#aroace#asexual#aromantic#asexuality#aromanticism#arospec#aspec#alastor hazbin hotel#aromantic alastor#asexual alastor#hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel alastor#aroacespec#queer

guys I’m honestly happy that klance didn’t become canon because I love how as a collective group of people we utilize our right to explore what could have been and create the most smoking hot scenarios ever and yes I obviously wanted more of their friendship growing into this bond stronger than anything else in the universe especially since Voltron has teamwork and family as one of their main lessons but that’s more of a development issue all around…ok besides that there’s something about klance where it provides this PERFECT environment for shippers to inhabit and FEAST upon. With klance, there’s a solid, engaging dynamic between the two set up, which is this weird one-sided rivalry that stems from Lance’s insecurity and his need to prove himself of his worth and Keith literally being one of the best pilots for his age but since they’re flung into space and chosen to become child soldiers in this 10,000 year old intergalactic war so they have to work as a team which surprise surprise forces them to put aside their differences and work as a team which is shown a bunch when Keith needs to become a leader and Lance steps up as his right hand and and they have some kinda tender moments that won’t definitely drive shippers into a shipping craze (or worse) SO YEAH you could see why people loved it with all the classic tropes and mutual growth all that schmooze (ALSO THEY KNEW EACHOTHER BEFORE THE MAIN PLOT??? Well maybe not like friends or even acquaintances probably BUT HELLO?????? EVEN MORE SHIT TO EXPAND ON????), and they share multiple scenes that could be interpreted as romantic but there’s no explicit romance. This environment is fucking dripping drenched flash flooded cornered by 1000ft tsunamis in all directions with potential for shipping, so when people saw this relationship between two bros with this sort of homoerotic (IM JOKING. Kinda.) unresolved tension towards each other and the POTENTIAL for a good slow burn rivals to friends to lovers, it was to no one’s surprise that they went APESHIT. Klancers made countless different ways where they get together whether it be pre-Kerberos, post-gettingthefuckoutofearth, the start of the show, the end of the show, after the end of the show, right smack in the middle, anywhere, anytime, for who the fuck knows why just ANY REASON DAMN IT it doesn’t really matter because people were pumping out fanfiction or fan art or any fan media of klance faster than I spit out a raw baby carrot after chewing it for one second and now we’re all wallowing about how it should have been KICK but the thing is that if VLD did KICK all the way to Altea, the production of these beautiful stories that so many people have and still are coming up with about klance kissing in midst of a battle, helping each other with their crippling nightmares, smiling for the stars or some other sad premise, and whatever is nestled in his pulse…just like uhhh the amount of fics like these that go into great detail about Keith and Lance in these random situations that end up with them getting together being produced would go down to some degree because of the fact that if the people’s beloved sharpshooter and samurai had ended up together like we had wanted, and the majority was satisfied with the ending the creators had given, people would have shifted from writing about “How could Lance and Keith get together?” to writing about “What could Lance and Keith do now that they’re together?” And like. There’s nothing wrong with that honestly I would be HYPED if klance was ever canon but there is profound beauty in the way the community is able to create more from less and turn a show that went to shit in the last few seasons shine even brighter than it did at its prime. Like I wouldn’t trade my favorite fics 4 anything.

Ok another little thing I’m going to put here: With Klance, all I wanted was for them to be great friends 😭😭😭. I tend to prefer klance becoming canon in later seasons or at the end or even an open ending with no confirmed romantic relationships because I am a sucker for character development and the idea of Keith and Lance both harboring these feelings that at first are just admiration and respect but then escalate to yearning for one another or becoming close friends at the end of the show and getting to imagine anything I want post canon is EVERYTHING if you give me S7 Garrison klance I’ll keel over and thank you like I was a second away from dying of thirst and your gift was a truck load of water
