#anti rachel x ross

[darklinaforever]

I literally saw a Ross & Rachel (Roschel) shipper claim that if Joey and Rachel (Jachel / Roey) ended up together, Joey would have ended up cheating on her.

So... I hear that we might not like Rachel & Joey together, but we have to stop talking nonsense just to justify it.

What do people use to say such nonsense ?! That he was a ladies' man is NOT justification. Joey is literally the most loyal person ever when it comes to the people he loves !

And it's cheeky because I remember that, oh well... ROSS ACTUALLY CHEATED ON RACHEL !

[queercherrypie]

It's 2024, I'm rewatching Friends and I still haven't gotten over the fact that Joey and Rachel didn't end up together because the writers (and I guess the audience, thank you very much for that) didn't want them to work out. They have so much chemistry, it's so cute....I think I have to write a fanfic.

What's up with people and toxic ships being popular and endgame? Shipping couples who wouldn't be able to make a marriage work for more than 5 years...

Hiya, Poorni ❤️! Prompts 17 & 20 with Mondler calling Ross out, please? (The situation can be within canon, or you can make one up 😉)

Hiya Sunshine! This takes place post series <3

Ross began pacing back and forth in anger. Rachel and Mark were getting married? Mark and Rachel were getting married? He should'e known that little twig was lying about 'already being married'. He probably wanted to be more subtle about making the moves on Rachel.

Chandler groaned, "If he does this any longer, I'll get dizzy." Ross turned back to the couple in anger. "Okay, did you not hear me say 'Rachel and Mark are getting married?"

Monica scoffed, "Oh we heard you the first thirty times and honestly? I can’t believe I once considered you family. You're such a whiny baby! 'Oh god Rachel and Mark are getting married. Woe is me.' Well get the fuck over it!" She near yelled, trying not to wake the twins.

Monica shook her head, “You come in here, thinking you’re better than everyone else. You’re barely worth the air you waste." Chandler chimed in, "And you guys haven't been together for a year. What'd you expect? For her to come over and say 'Oh Ross I want you back! Let's getting married in a bundle of red roses!'" He ended sarcastically.

Ross scoffed, "That's ridiculous! Why would I only get married in red roses?" Monica angrily grabbed a newspaper, shoving it in front of Ross repeatedly while Chandler left to open the door. "Get out! Get out! GET OUT!" She shoved him out the door and Chandler closed and locked it.

I don't understand Rachel's logic, she is scared that Ross will cheat on her again because "once a cheater, always a cheater" but doesn't mind getting together with him while he's still dating another girl, like the hypocricy.

[xterier]

Petition to have Ross kicked out of the group and replaced by somebody else! All in favors?

Joey > Ross

I always thought Joey was better for Rachel than Ross. Ross is stuck up and an ass, Joey is kind and sweet. After the break up Ross is a jerk, Joey on the other hand is still sweet and friendly with Rachel.

Mourning a ship by another ship, part III :

Do you also think that Joey & Rachel were meant to be together ?!

Are you looking for a couple in the same mood ?! Going from friends to final lovers on the couple who was supposed to be the iconic couple one of the series ?!

Well, you find your happiness with Joey & Pacey ! (Jacey)

Who they managed to overtake the couple who should have ended up together originally, namely obviously Joey & Dawson. Sorry, but it should have been the same with Rachel & Joey. She really should have ended up with him, instead of Ross...

Rachel Leingang at The Guardian:

In the last few months, Donald Trump has done interviews with rightwing Twitch streamer Adin Ross and a host of podcasters, including Dr Phil, comedian Theo Von, computer scientist Lex Fridman, and YouTuber Logan Paul – part of what the Atlantic has dubbed Trump’s “red-pill podcast tour”. He’s posted incessantly on his own social media platform, Truth Social. He did a live space on Twitter/X with the platform’s owner, Elon Musk. He talked with Fox’s Laura Ingraham and called into Fox & Friends and spoke to other Fox hosts and personalities. His media strategy aligns with the current state of the rightwing media landscape: Fox is still a dominant source, but for the most Maga-adherent, it’s not Trumpy enough, despite some of its hosts embracing election denialism around the 2020 US election. Instead, there’s increasing fragmentation thanks to influencers and lesser-known outlets built around Trumpism.

This is the first election since Tucker Carlson, once Fox’s loudest voice in a primetime spot, was reportedly fired by the network, and his solo ventures so far haven’t taken on the prominence he had on TV. It’s also the first election since longtime Republican heavyweight Rush Limbaugh died. These big changes have left holes in rightwing media, which were filled by an increasing cadre of influencers, content creators and smaller outlets. [...] Trump’s grip on rightwing media is ironclad, said Julie Millican, the vice-president of Media Matters, a progressive center that tracks conservative media. In the past, the Republican party and its candidates would follow what rightwing media did and align its policies that way – but now, the media follows Trump, she said.

“If you don’t capitulate to what Trump and his enablers and his supporters are looking for, then they’ll shut you out,” Millican said. Since his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, his influence has only increased, and “now he has a stronger control over the entire media ecosystem than he did previously”, she added. As rightwing outlets rise, the stories they cover differ more from what’s on mainstream news, furthering the bubbles a divided United States lives within. While in years past, you’d find different takes on the day’s news in left- and right-leaning outlets, you’ll now find stories that exist solely on rightwing media, Millican said.

[...]

TV news and rightwing websites

Traffic to news websites, including rightwing sites, is down compared with 2020. Howard Polskin, who tracks conservative media on his site The Righting, said a few factors play into the decrease. Facebook and other Meta social media de-emphasize news content now, sending less traffic to news outlets. And 2020 had several major news events colliding: a pandemic that kept people online more, nationwide protests over racial justice and a hotly contested election.

No single star has taken the place that Carlson or Limbaugh once held. Some conservatives told the Guardian they stopped watching Fox as often after Carlson left or because the network isn’t Maga enough. Fox agreed to pay $787m to settle a lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems over defamation claims for spreading lies about the voting machine company’s role the 2020 election. Carlson abruptly left the network shortly after the settlement, and he has claimed his firing came as a result of the settlement. Fox denies that his removal had anything to do with the Dominion case.

[...]

Another paper, Epoch Times, a far-right and anti-China outlet associated with the Falun Gong religion, continues to rank highly among conservative news outlets despite a justice department lawsuit that alleges it operates as a money laundering and cryptocurrency scam. Its stories are often shared by rightwing politicians or influencers. “Their cultural impact and political impact seems much smaller than the distribution,” Polskin said.

Carlene, a 58-year-old from the Upper East Side who attended the Trump rally in the Bronx, said she gets news from the Epoch Times, Daily Wire and X and sometimes tunes into CNN and MSNBC to get the other side. “I watch less Fox News now after they got rid of Tucker Carlson,” she said. “It made me think Fox was just like everyone else.” For the less online Republican, talk radio shows, especially those that run the airwaves in rural areas, play a strong role in setting the conservative message. As newspapers in rural areas have shuttered, creating a crisis in local news, these radio shows are “reaching voters that aren’t tapped into the same media spaces that we often see in these large metropolises on either coast”, Tripodi said. To fill Fox’s void on TV, some conservatives have turned to Newsmax or One American News Network, which are farther to the right than Fox. “One American News Network and Newsmax did a very good job at establishing themselves as a place that would verify whatever Trump was saying,” Tripodi said.

[...]

Podcasts and influencers

Beyond television and news sites, a rightwing news consumer will find a growing landscape of podcasts, YouTube channels, Substack newsletters, documentary film-makers and social media influencers all trying to build a following. “For every laid-off journalist, another Substack is born,” Polskin said. “And that just … fractionalizes the news audience even more.” The top of the podcast charts on Spotify and Apple shows a host of conservatives: Shawn Ryan, Candace Owens, Carlson, Megyn Kelly. Ben Shapiro, the conservative commentator, has his own podcast, and his network, the Daily Wire, hosts some of the biggest rightwing pundits. “In terms of just influence and power in the media landscape, to me, he would be someone that’s at the top of that space,” Millican said. Polskin called Shapiro the “800lb gorilla of rightwing podcasts”. Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, is also a major player. His organization is focused on turning college-age people conservative, and he’s been on a tour around the country to college campuses in recent months, in addition to his podcast and social media presence.

[...]

While he doesn’t grab a huge share of the podcast market and he’s currently in prison for defying a congressional subpoena related to the January 6 investigation, Steve Bannon has an outsize influence on the right with his War Room show. He gets big-name rightwing politicians as guests and still has Trump’s ear, but he’s never cracked the top 20 in Polskin’s ratings.

The Guardian has a solid report on the rise of the Trumpian grip on the right-wing media and the further divergence from normal America, where conspiracy theories and lies dominate on any given right-wing show.

How come it’s almost 2023 and I still see posts debating whether or not Rachel and Ross were on a break?

The issue wasn’t were they or weren’t they

It was the fact, that you take a break to figure out current relationships, NOT TRY OUT THE NEW ONES

So yes, it was cheating. Whether they were on a break or not

[writershapeholeonthedoor]

OOOOOOOOOOOH you know she would!!!

Instead of running to the airport to ask Rachel to stay, she would run there to tell her she will go with her if Rachel allows her to. And then she would live very happy for several weeks searching for a job and leaning french and figuring out how to handle that drastic turn in her life and baking all the goodies for when Rach gets home.

And they would be the happiest gays in Paris 😭😭😭

monica would’ve gone to paris for rachel

Similarities and differences: Rachel/Joey and Rachel/Ross

Are people really interested in my lame F.r.i.e.n.d.s opinions?

Let’s see… both ships are so different! I’m almost coming up blank. Joey and Ross have some similarities. They’re goofy and loud. Ross is kind of romantic, and in love with the idea of love. Joey can be really sweet and romantic with Rachel. There are a lot of sweet and funny moments with both ships.

Rachel and Joey are about comfort, personal growth (for Joey), friendship. Ross and Rachel are about romance, the idea of “meant to be”. Ross is often jealous, and condescending to Rachel, but Joey is more honest and respectful. Rachel is also much more mature in her friendship/relationship with Joey. I mean, Rachel dated Ross in the first seasons. She grows up a lot throughout the show. 

Ross confuses and annoys Rachel when they’re dating. Joey doesn’t evoke a lot of negative feelings. 

Ross and Rachel have different tastes and personalities. Rachel and Joey are more alike. They’re flirty, fun, extroverted, vain, and the opposite of nerdy.

Ross and Joey would both do anything for Rachel. They really love her. And Rachel loves both of them, in different ways. 

Ross and Rachel have a lot of history together. They knew each other growing up, they dated and broke up, they were married and divorced, they have a child together. Rachel and Joey are much more casual, in a way. 

Rachel and Joey are the better and healthier ship though!

Thanks for the ask!

Times Ross Geller made me MAD.

Note: I think David Schwimmer is an excellent actor. I just do not like his character. 

1. Contemplated calling immigration on someone because he was jealous.

2. Was uncomfortable with his son playing with a barbie. 

3. Thought a man being a nanny automatically made him gay. 

4. ‘Cheater cheater. Compulsive eater.’  

5. Tried to kiss his cousin. 

6. Tried to convince his sister to buy more girl scout cookies so that he could ease his conscience despite the fact that she used to struggle with overeating. 

7. Joined a hate club made for his crush because she didn’t like him back. 

8. Was extremely territorial and possessive of his  girlfriend to the point that he was willing to jeopardise her job. 

9. Lied to his wife about getting an annulment because he didn’t want to be the guy that had been through 3 divorces.

10. When he spent a whole episode trying to startle and attack his ex-wife and her friend to prove they couldn’t defend themselves. 

[darklinaforever]

You know... I find it crazy that two series / sitcooms that are already similar in many ways, namely FRIENDS and How I Meet Your Mother, were also on the ship ! I wanted Rachel and Joey to end up together and Robin and Barney to end up together ! And instead I got Rachel and Ross and Robin and Ted ?! (Especially since Barney and Joey are both men who have never been in love before Robin and Rachel…) WTF SCREENPLAYS ?! The whole Ross and Rachel relationship is incredibly toxic and you focused your entire last season of HIMYM on Barney and Robin's marriage ! FOR WHAT ?! ESPECIALLY FOR COUPLES AS BAD AS ROSS & RACHEL, AND TED & ROBIN ! It's like Joey ended up with Dawson instead of Pacey, that makes no sense !
