in this corner we have fan made works that ignore, erase, or kill off the canonical female love interest who has canonical chemistry and intimacy with a male character in favor of an m/m ship &&&& in this corner we have the bollywood trope of an m/m/f love triangle in which the bond between the two men is subtextually much deeper but the industry will not portray two queers happily in love so it's still a happy ending for one man + one woman despite being ostensibly a love story between the two men

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

#obvi the multimillion dollar film industry has more power than the fans making things for ao3 or whatever #but these two concepts are inextricably linked in my mind #the other day I saw atla fanart that paired Suki and Yue!! which makes nose #*no sense #first of y'all you can ship zuko/sokka and sokka/suki at the same time #but suki and yue literally never interacted pls explain why that would work #and then I immediately thought of kal ho naa ho in which they literally had to kill of shah rukh khan's character #because that was the only way for preity zinta and saif ali khan to get together #even tho the entire fucking film framed srk and saif being in love with each other #maddening!!!!#movies #media thots #a
