Michael Guerin Deserves Better Than This Shit

I love both Michael and Alex, and I especially love Malex. I have my crack ships pairing them with other people, but there's no other ship I want more in canon than Malex. That being said, I get really annoyed with Alex stans (I use the word stans instead of fans because they are usually crazy fans who only love Alex and low key seem to hate Michael) who act like Michael is some monster for having dated Maria and like Alex should have been furious with him. Now, I hate Miluca as a ship and Maria DeLuca as a character, so it's not about liking the ship as one of my crack pairings. No, it's all about the fact that for ten years, Alex walked away from Michael. For ten years, Alex broke Michael's heart (I know he had his reasons for his actions and I understand them, but this is still what happened). And for a matter of weeks, Michael dates someone else (because he was not actually with Maria in canon for more than a few weeks and it was, as she said, on a non-exclusive trial basis), and suddenly he's some big bad monster who hurt Alex beyond repair? Sorry, but no. He doesn't deserve to be hated for that. Not when you don't dislike Alex for leaving him over and over again for a decade. You know who Alex should be angry at, though? Maria. He has no right to be angry with Michael for not believing he would stay this time and for trying to move on with someone else (not saying he can't feel hurt, but he doesn't have a right to be angry with Michael the way some stans wanted him to be). But he can be angry with Maria for getting together with Michael after finding out about him being in love with him when she claims to be Alex's best friend. Alex can be angry with Maria all he wants because she was a crappy friend, but being angry with Michael for dating someone else, no matter who that person was, would only make him look like an ass, which is probably why he had no anger toward Michael on the show. The people who think he should be angry with Michael look like hypocrites, especially since many of them happily also ship Alex with Forrest or Kyle or sometimes even Max, Michael's brother. So, what? Only Alex is allowed to be happy with someone else when the love of his life leaves him? Michael just has to suffer? This post is not supposed to be anti Alex. I love him and don't actually think he did anything wrong in canon. What I'm calling out is the behavior of his stans, which is really not cool. Michael doesn't deserve that bullshit, and I think if Alex was a real person, he'd be pissed at anyone who thought Michael deserved for him to be angry with him and to suffer the way some fic writers try to make him.

Also, if you disagree, know you won't change my mind on this, so don't waste your time typing something out to rant at me, okay? I'll probably just delete your reply without finishing reading it. Maria DeLuca stans DNI. Miluca stans DNI. Crazy Alex stans who hate Michael even though that means Alex would hate you, DNI.

Some late-night M*ria D*Luca hate, because why not?

Looking at some of these malex gifs just reminds me of how, with They-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, it was always about her, and what was going on with her, and how she was feeling about whatever was going on, whether it was going on with her or not, and Michael never cared one way or another. He was just there for the ride, you know? Go along with whatever conversation she would bring up, and it always lacked any heart. It's so easy for me to write Michael as indifferent or barely there during that "relationship" because everything he did felt like obligation.

He listened to her because he should, he defended her because he should, he talked to her because he should, and it was always always always about her. She never saw the issue there either. Never realized or cared that everything about their relationship centered around her. That she didn't know him and didn't care to.

Compare that to Alex? Who could see when Michael was struggling with something and wanted to know? Who actually asked and pushed and comforted? They talked about Alex's time in the military, his struggles, his fears, his family - even before they ever dated, and not nearly enough, but they did - and more than anything, they talked about Michael. What did M*ria ever know about Michael? What did she ever care to ask or question?

They wanted to pretend she was some kind of no-nonsense badass, but the only person she ever cared about defending or protecting or being there for was herself. Whenever anything came up, it was always about how it affected her. Alex, on the other hand? Sees Michael acting weird, he's not having it. His no-nonsense badass personality comes into play when the man he loves is threatened or insulted or hurting. He puts his foot down and his pride aside when he has to push past Michael's snark and find out what's bothering him. Why didn't M*ria resonate with people the way Alex did? Why didn't she get the same sympathy? People want to come up with a litany of ridiculous excuses, but the simple truth? She was fucking selfish. Not to say Michael wasn't sometimes, not to say Alex wasn't sometimes, but when it really mattered, Alex showed that his priority was Michael and Michael's feelings. M*ria showed that her priority was herself.

Anyway. Alex deserved more recognition in the show for how much he loved and how strong his love was, and I will never stop pointing it out. I'll write a fic on this soon, but I just wanted to get some feelings out while they were fresh.

just to be clear, this poll is to guess which ship I hate most not the one you hate most lol I know sometimes ppl click.on an option without reading it right or tags or anything so I wanted to be clear lol I do hate every ship here but there's one I hate most!!

[dayscrazed]

Malex are Ross and Rachel...

“No, no problem, sir, I just need you to let me off the plane.”

“I’m sorry, Captain, we’re cleared for takeoff.”

“Sergeant, this is a serious personal matter and I need to be let off the plane!”

Since it was charging, Michael couldn’t pick up his phone. He yelled to it, “Let him off the plane!”

“Captain Manes, I apologize but I can’t do that.”

“Please, sir, you don’t understand!”

Michael screamed, “Try to understand!”

“Please, sir, there must be a way for you to let me off the-”

The voicemail cut off.

No. Fuck you. People hated on Maria’s character (not the actress but the CHARACTER) because she ended up FORCING a threesome between a gay character who was in no position to say NO.

NO ONE hated on Michael for dating a woman. Get your fucking facts straight (heh).

Sincerely,

This Bisexual Bitch

I am glad fandoms are talking about and highlighting biphobia given what happened to Kit Connor.

I still remember the nasty Biphobia in the Roswell New Mexico fandom, especially during season 2 when there were all these posts about how the show was erasing queer characters… and Michael Guerin was still right there! All he was doing was dating Maria instead of Alex. And suddenly that made him no longer a part of the LGBTQ+ community and the actors (One of whom is black and got racist hate) and writers got attacked on social media/twitter for ‘Queer Baiting’. And quite a few of the folks doing the attacking were cis straight women who wanted their m/m slash ship and didn’t like a black woman getting in the way of that.

Bi-erasure is real. Toxic Biphobia in fandoms is real. And sometimes the hate affects real people and in this case, a teenager being forced to come out.

[ladyinrosso]

My dear shipper of fandom's most popular ship, I do get why you ship it but (and that's maybe will be a shock to some of you) I simply don't.

[usercelestial]

seeing a bvcktommy girlie be hardcore anti miluca is soo funny like "im surprised i didnt throw up reading malexa described positively, it ruined the fic for me" GIRL thats how anti's talk about you...

[dr-lizortecho]

For RNM, ❤️💚💕

Which character do you think is the most egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom?

Ummm- Maria, like she’s just not whatever all her haters try and paint her as? The opposite tbh. They just don’t get her like I get her. Max too (just a different sector of fandom) like the amount of people who think he’s inherently cruel or the takes on him being homophobic are silly to me.

What does everyone else get wrong about your favorite character?

Ha ha ha- so much. She’s not anti-marriage or men… she’s not selfish or cruel. She’s not a bad friend. She’s not more focused on herself then others- her steam rolling of her loved ones is because she is so focused on them instead of herself. She’s much more feminine than fandom would have you believe. She’s flawless because of her flaws. Also- she’s autistic.

What is an unpopular ship that you like?

All of them tbh. Miluca and malexa are probably the most disliked unpopular ones. And Kaliz and Kyliz are probably my most favorite that are just unpopular cause people don’t create/interact with them.

send me an unpopular fandom ask <3

ALEXANDER MANES IS IN A SINKHOLE AND THE WRITERS WERE LIKE YUP IT MAKES NARRATIVE SENSE THAT THE SAME BOYFRIEND THAT WAS READY TO DIVE HEADFIRST INTO AN OMINOUS SINKHOLE WOULD BE JUST CHILLING BY THE FIRE WITH HIS EX PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE SMOKING

[eternallymalex]

is it too early to be petty that m*aria walked alex down the aisle instead of

- Greg

- Flint

- Arturo

- Kyle

- Sanders

- literally anyone who isn't the snake that got together with the love of his life behind his back, never apologised for it, treated his sexuality like a personal inconvenience to her, SA'd him and was an absolute bitch to his husband basically every time they shared screen time

Roswell NM

finally answering this, sorry I was asleep <3

otp: michael/alex, max/liz

favorite canon pairing: malex, echo

worst pairing ever: michael/maria, surprising since they were my second otp on the og lol

guilty pleasure pairing: kyle/isobel though they are my otp as well, kyle/liz, liz/isobel

a pairing you want to see more: kyle/isobel, isobel/liz, dallas/maria

that pairing everyone likes but you're like "lol no": they are by far not very popular on the reboot as the og and malex definitely has more shippers but michael/maria mainly because of the og people probably expected them and expected to ship them lol

favorite non romantic pair: maria/liz, max/michael/isobel

[dayscrazed]

Another Friends AU This time, Michael and Alex are Ross and Rachel, respectively. Michael and Alex must navigate their off and on again relationship as they seem to always break each others hearts by sleeping with other people or not communicating when one of them prepares to leave town. Canon Divergent & chapter titles from "betty" by TSwift.

Malex fans are too loud, and apparently that is why Malex is endgame 🤣🤣🤣 It couldn’t possibly be because the narrative of the entire show showcases Malex as being the ultimate relationship for Michael and Alex. Ever since the pilot Malex has been written to be the couple for Alex and Michael. It’s easy to blame the loud Malex fans but are you forgetting that Mr Michael Vlamis is the biggest fan of Malex out of all of us. Bullying Malex fans is easy, but it’s funny that these same fans have nothing to say about Vlamis stanning Malex and never giving Miluca his time when their characters were together. It’s like when they hate and bully on Tyler Blackburn and his fans, but have nothing to say about their own favourites (Trevino, Vlamis, Hemmens) still championing and being good mates with Tyler. It’s all soooo fake.

I am an Alex person first and a Malex shipper distant second and to this day it annoys me that 1x10 is considered Alex walking away again. If s4 is doing something semi-decently on the Malex front (and this might 100% be an accident that the show never intended) it's finally acknowledging that Michael has NEVER been all in with their relationship. He's JUST getting to that point now, and Alex had to be literally underground for that to happen. A lot of the s1 defense of Michael hinges on people acting like Malex could have started a satisfactory relationship if only Alex physically stayed present at some point past high school as if s1 Michael didn't keep 90% of his life a secret from him until he was forced to share and as if trying to leave the actual planet his entire life doesn't immediately trump any but 'Alex walked away x times' arguments. For three seasons, Alex had to do all the work (even after s2) in their relationship, and now, we couldn't even get one season where Michael has to pick up the slack. Yes, I am fully aware that s4 treats Michael as an abuse survivor like shit, and it's gross, but he's still massively failing Alex one last time, and it's just going to be handwaved in 4x11/4x12, whenever Alex is found, like nothing happened.

YOU! You get it!! *pins an Alex Manes Defense Squad badge on your person*

This is exactly what hurts me the most. This was supposed to be a soulmates story, a 10-years-apart-couldn't-diminish-their-love-story, the kind of cheesy bs that I was really excited to see in mlm version, y'know? But for all of Michael's talk of never looking away, canonically it's only Alex who never did (the extent of his 'relationship' with Forrest was a few dates, sex and thinking about maybe asking him to be exclusive - a far cry from falling in love and being as or more happy than in a relationship with his soulmate). S2 tarnished the soulmates story (not just that M*luca happened, but how it happened, how it ended and what Michael did after) and s3 somehow played it off as if it was still Alex who had to show his commitment and devotion to win Michael back until Michael finally decided to trust his heart to him again??? Either the character-s1-storylines-in-permament-marker theory is true or it was another case of the writers going Everything is Alex's Fault so clearly Alex had to do all the work to bring Malex together, even though the last he heard from Michael was that he didn't love him, he liked M*ria and no longer saw them as having a future together?????

But it's fine. The Michael Guerin that lives in my headcanon and loves Alex Manes with all the force of s1 metaphors and Vlammy's heart eyes, he would never. He's a little shit, a hot mess and equally culpable in his own relationship problems as his soulmate, but he's allowed to be as ride-or-die for him as he wishes and also to acknowledge and fix his mistakes.

[winged-fool]

The way that Michael has grown more in the past two episodes after Alex dressed him down than the entire year he was in a relationship with Maria 🤭🤭
