it's 2024, and i don't get it.

okay it's 2024. The fact that i've seen someone imply that there are people that doesn't know the the various lgbtqia+ flag ? i can agree with that. People who doesn't care about LGBTQIA+ flags wouldn't know because they don't care. But I repeat it's 2024. Many shows use queerbaiting. And the logic is that they don't care. But jesus fucking christ would you put someone on the literal lesbian color just because you don't know ? Or you know ? dress someone with clothes that reflect someone else ? showing their connection ? These idiot are in hollywood. Someone IS monitoring, tracking, and basically stalking twitter or any social media and they wouldn't know ?

excuse the fuck out of me for not believing any of these bullshit.

My first introduction for fandom and fanfic was "Once upon a time", and they played hard to make shipper believe. Goes on the wrong road and choose unhealthy relationship instead, in my opinion, but meh. The point is ok it was 2011 and all that but still. They knew what they were doing. They have social media.

Now tell me, what was the reason ?

What was the reason of them choosing these color. What was the reason of all of it ? You want me to believe that ? It's queerbaiting.

And Wednesday is queerbaiting. Tim burton is not an idiot. Jenna Ortega is not an idiot. gwendoline christie Have work long enough to not be an idiot, Christina Ricci is not an idiot. Neither are the producer and the writer , there's at the very least one of them who should've, could've, must've said "hey wait a minute"

It's 2024, and i don't get how producer or writer just do movies,/show, get on social media see things and are just like.. " Uhh?". Are you dumb ? " It's a story about friendship" oh yeah, you mean girls are supposed to have just friendship ? Or just like two people incompatible could have friendship ? when you forced two idiot (boys because it's just like that) on a girl, one calling her toxic just because she rejected him. Nice guy would like to have a talk by the way, and the other using her therapist to get close to her and kill her ? If you're point is "boys or men are disgusting" thanks, you made you're point. But you're point is so far from what you showed us that your point is in the trash.

And i say that because i hate with a passion anything outside the show. I made the mistakes with once upon a time, and again with wednesday. Both showed clearly the point in the shows. But contradicted itself with the cast on panel and all of that. They say one things and then backtrack and say the contrary. If some enjoy it, good things. For my part i hate when people play me. Hollywod did and do that. They play us. We're good target, we don't care as long as it's what's can fit our fanfic and us hyping it up in season 1, got wrecked in season 2. Warrrior Nun didn't get a second season just because, people hyped it up, it would have been renewed otherwise. It didn't because the writer had a precised idea, and it didn't fit with the queerbaiting. Wynonna Earp got hype up for 4 season, but guess what ? h not enough viewer. How the fuck ? It wasn't even queerbaiting at this point it was just.. " meh nah". And don't get me start with The Owl House or Steven Universe, just don't. Dana Terrace and Alex Hirsch made their point and prove that once it clear as day that it won't be queerbaiting or you know.. abusive, at this point i don't have any other word, it won't work.

A good queerbaiting is the one where the queer (LGBTIA+) will keep expecting. And thrive for more. Spending their day and night watching and rewatching. Just for a bit of a hint of something that will never come.

Don't you think it's kind of bad for Wenclair that Wednesday left Enid fighting the Hyde and then took an arrow for Xavier? Idk it just seemed like she cared less about Enid.

Hey anon,

Ummm Enid was wolfed out and as much as Wednesday is a total badass, she doesn't have any super strength so I'm not really sure what she would do in that situation that would help Enid? She had no weapons on her that we know of and honestly I kind of read it as her believing Enid had it under control. If you think about it she really showed a great amount of belief in Enid by trusting she'd have Tyler covered.

As for the Xavier thing , I mean if I shipped them I would definitely read more into that action so I'm not judging people that saw that as romantic. But my genuine read of it is that she felt she owed him after she had literally had him put in jail for murders he did not commit. Obviously the writers were wanting there to be a real love triangle with Xavier as a legitimate option so there are multiple scenes in the finale that could be read as romantic if you can get past the two actors having no chemistry. Those scenes don't have to be read that way though and I think the lukewarm reception on the entire love triangle means they won't carry any weight in s2.

I would be surprised if even the most die hard Xavier and Wednesday shipper really believed that Wednesday cared less about Enid. Even if you view them as only a friendship that will always stay a friendship, you have to be able to see that Wednesday cares deeply for Enid. It's why they run to each other when everything ends. Even Enid who is dating Ajax has a far less emotional reunion with him.

Why Magneto’s Storyline in X-Men: Apocalypse is The Worst (it’s not just Cherik)

Ok I just need to vent because this has been chewing away at my brain for far too long.

Cherik is far from the only reason why Erik’s family plotline in X-Men: Apocalypse is some of the stupidest, sloppiest, and most character-ruining pieces of writing I’ve ever seen. Haters may say “oh you’re just upset because he married someone who wasn’t Charles.” But, like, aside from the fact that the original timeline already established that Erik’s top priority was always the fight for mutantkind and he had no interest in settling down - whether that had anything to do with his feelings for Charles or not - the problems with the Apocalypse writing go WAY beyond just him & Charles:

Erik would never abandon his cause at this point. By the end of DOFP, Erik has just been imprisoned for a full 10 years thanks to the JFK situation. Meaning he has spent a full decade being forcibly inactive in the fight for mutants. And he just learned that all of his fears about humans and mutants came to pass in the future to the level where a time-traveler had to be sent to change the past. And he was so set on averting that future that he tried to kill his friend and the sister of the man he loved, and then made a whole speech on international TV begging for the mutants of the world to fight alongside him. This is the POLAR OPPOSITE of a man who would feel like settling down and walking away from the fight within the next decade. The Sentinels being cancelled did NOT make mutant life easy overnight; Stryker was still up to no good, and there is no way that there weren’t others like him doing the same. Yes, Raven’s actions made a very positive difference, but I think we have enough brain cells to agree that this did not mean things for mutants immediately became sunshine and rainbows to the level where Erik - the most (understandably) paranoid character in the X-Men series - would even consider taking a break, let alone giving up the fight permanently. Knowing what he did about the possibilities of the future would’ve made the Erik we know double down on his commitment to his cause and follow up on his actions in Washington.

Erik wouldn’t risk starting a young family at this moment in his life. Erik was a Holocaust prisoner, his people were massacred, his mom was shot when he couldn’t move the coin, and then Charles was shot when Erik accidentally deflected a bullet into him, and then every member of his Brotherhood save Raven were captured and killed. Not only is this more than enough grief for one character to have, but the man wouldn’t dare risk having a new family of his own when everyone he’s ever loved has gotten hurt (largely because of him), and when he’s an international fugitive. That is no time to risk being selfish, and he would know. He would’ve been the first to realize that a potential spouse and child would also end up killed, and so he’d avoid that altogether. In fact, he wouldn’t even consider it, because, as mentioned, he wouldn’t leave his cause behind. You know, if he was actually in character.

Magda is a human. At this point, Erik hates humans. Again, he has just been imprisoned by humans for 10 years for trying to save a mutant, and he just learned that in the future, humans would’ve wiped out mutants, exactly as he feared. Everything that happened in DOFP would only further inflame his already-passionate hatred of humans. He is not in the mental state to even begin to consider Charles’ philosophy and give a human a chance at a relationship, let alone marry a human.

The family lives in Poland. The country where Auschwitz is. The country where Erik and his family and people was imprisoned, tortured, and executed. The country where Erik had to watch Shaw kill his mother. Basically the LAST country in the freaking WORLD that Erik would want to ever see again, let alone spend the rest of his life in. Erik is fluent in multiple languages - he is shown to easily converse in French and Spanish in First Class - and has been all over the world thanks to his Nazi hunting, so if he really needed to flee the U.S., there were a hundred other countries he could’ve gone to and blended into (Canada, France, Mexico, anywhere in South America, heck, he even could’ve discovered Genosha during this time). But in the original timeline, he didn’t leave the U.S. at all despite being a national fugitive after escaping his plastic prison, and he never did get caught again, so….

Erik’s first meeting with Magda is completely OOC for him. Erik mentions that he told Magda who he was the first night they met and he trusted her then. EXCUSE ME??? Erik Lehnsherr does not trust strangers. Erik Lehnsherr does not tell the complete truth about himself and his past to just anyone; look at how deeply Charles had to probe before Erik opened up to him. This stupid line was obviously shoehorned in just to make their relationship seem like perfect soulmates and thus ensure it is doubly tragic when she gets thrown in the fridge 5 minutes later (more on that in a sec). Obviously the intention is for the audience to go “aww, he instantly trusted her, she instantly accepted him, this is true love…” Give me a break. You’re really telling me that Magda met this stranger one night, found out he was none other than the international fugitive who apparently killed the U.S. president and just tried to kill another president on live TV, and went “oh, no problem, honey, let’s make a baby and live the cottagecore dream!” That’s some BS if I’ve ever heard it, and I’m convinced the writers subconsciously knew it; there’s a reason that is revealed in a throwaway line rather than shown onscreen, because then nobody would’ve bought it.

Fridging. Magda and Nina exist in the movie for one reason and one reason only: To get brutally killed and give Erik even more grief and trauma so that he’ll seek revenge on the entire world, aka do what the plot demands of him, aka have the same journey as he did in First Class (more on that in a sec). That’s all. Neither of them are any more than one-dimensional plot devices. They are not characters at all. Magda isn’t even named in the actual movie (he doesn’t even say her name when she dies) - it’s so obvious they didn’t even know what her name would be when they made the movie. This is textbook fridging, and one of the worst examples of it of all time. It’s all the worse considering that Erik never met Magda in the original pre-DOFP timeline, meaning Magda originally most likely lived a long happy life and died old in bed. But now, she gets fridged just because the writers didn’t know what more to do with Erik. It’s misogyny of the highest level.

A parenthood story for Erik was already set up. DOFP already hinted at Erik being a father, with Peter’s comment about his mom. So if the writers wanted to show Erik as a father, and to include Magda, they already had a solution that would seamlessly flow from the previous film - make Erik and Peter’s relationship one of the centerpieces of the story, and let Magda be Peter’s mom! (You know, like she is in the comics!)

It doesn’t contribute anything new to Erik’s character development. From a screenwriting POV, this is unforgivable. May I remind you that Erik’s entire storyline in First Class revolved around grief and trauma for the loss of his family and people, especially his mom, and seeking revenge for it. Giving him a wife and daughter just so they can get killed too adds absolutely NOTHING to his character development. It’s merely retreading everything that already happened in his arc: he loses his family and goes on a roaring rampage of revenge. Completely superfluous, right down to Charles insisting that there’s good in him beyond the pain. The redundancy becomes apparent even in the dialogue, where Charles literally says “I told you since I first met you there’s good in you too.” The script itself can’t help but point out that all of this has happened before and literally nothing new has been added to Erik’s character arc.

See? It’s not just because of Cherik. Erik’s story in X-Men: Apocalypse is an atrocity in basic screenwriting and character development, on every level. And I will always despise it.

(Please tell me I’m not the only one who feels this way…)

Something I've been experiencing as a Xavier main..

— Everytime I'm praising Xavier on any Lads related post, someone in the reply is bitching about other LIs

— Even on Xavier's official posts on IG I've noticed the comment section with comments about other LIs! OTHER on Xavier official posts!?..comments like “where is x? Post about Y? where is z?"

— and I've learnt from fans on twt and some CN fans that Xavier's videos..any Xav videos which gain views more than other LIs..get mass reported by antis on Xiaohongshu, Tiktok and IG

— Antis mass reported his Misty Invasion trailer on Xiaohongshu so much that for a while it got completely removed from the site, simply because it had more views than other LIs

— some losers were mad for Lumiere myth cards being stronger than some others 😒

— some losers were mad at Xav's Tender Night for being spicier!? compared to others 😒

..and the issue is..I can't deny it because it's shit I've personally experienced. Like imagine being so obsessed that you go and report the videos of a fictional man cause he has more views than your fav fictional man. Imagine being mad at freaking tender nights for being less or more spicy. Imagine being so insecure about your fav that you have to reply to all my comments praising Xavier. And I will not even mention Lumiere because he IS canonically supposed to be the strongest..

all I'm saying is, some antis have ruined my mood a little about Love and Deepspace 🫠

not tagging the person bcs i don't want to call anyone out but like,,,, saw this one girl and her post formatting made it even look like a chatgpt generated thing... checked her other stuff to see and they all had that one formatting... thought i'd tell her and like. babe. you turning off asks just about confirms it for me, i mean imma just guess that you noticed lots of asks telling you the same and decided we're sooooooooo mean!! and ignored it

[thetimelordbatgirl]

Maybe its just me, but the way Lily wrote a Doctor being fine and enabling Iris and Kiera in...basically everything wrong with their sisters relationship down the line is just...quite telling of what she thinks doctors should do and shouldn't so. She has Iris basically rely on Kiera to commuicate via...blinking and looks and points and Kiera's telepathy kicked in each time to speak for her sister, which any Doctor would take the obvious BS in Kiera getting full sentences out of blinking and looks and have Kiera removed from the room so they can focus on commuicating with Iris and helping her with ways to do so, but no, Kiera insists on how Iris hates being seperated from Kiera and they have to be kept together and....the doctor just takes Kiera's word for it, and allows Kiera to continue speaking for Iris without checking if its what Iris is saying. Almost like Lily hates that a doctor once said Lily and Courtney shouldn't be left in the same room together alone, which that situation is obviously different to doctors seeing what's caused Iris to go mute and then help her commuicate, but like, given how Lily throughout the fic is making it out like a sibling depending forever on another sibling and being way too close even for siblings is a good thing....

[buffysgotfaith]

Sorry if you've answered this already but who do you think the stalker is in Wednesday?

Hi anon! I don't think I have answered this. Honestly I don't think the writers had a plan for the stalker when the season ended, but maybe that's just me being cynical. I think it was just a good cliff hanger to end s1 on so people could theorise between seasons.

I think it would make sense if it was Laurel or someone connected to the Gates family as we saw Laurel had pictures of Wednesday in s1.

But, I also think the only way I would tolerate any Xavier in the story is if it was him. Now think about it, after accusing him of being the killer and having him put in jail Wednesday is probably going to lay off Xavier this season. She's going to assume she misjudged him and he really is a good guy who just has an annoying crush on her. It perfectly sets up a situation where he could get away with stalking her for a period.

She gets that phone and leaves for break and then immediately gets text messages from her stalker. It makes sense for that to mean it's Xavier who is texting her. His arc in s1 also perfectly set him up to parallel Garret Gates. He is obsessed with her, he misinterprets all their interactions early on as her having feelings for him, he literally goes into her room without her permission and he is shown numerous times to be seething with jealousy that she prefers someone else.

If the writers were doing all that intentionally and he ends up being the bad guy in s2 then you know what I would forgive them for trying to make out like he was an actual love interest in s1. Lean into him being a creep and sell me that story.

I hate the whole “magneto was right” thing because he was very clearly wrong about so many things, even when he was right he managed to loop back around to being awful

I hate people reducing xmen to “xavier vs magneto” as if those are the only two options, two people can both be wrong for different reasons, one being wrong does not mean the other was right

[wishchip106]

my favorite part of paris proposal is when Charles INSTANTLY recognizes Erik’s mind out of all the parisian’s and tourists surrounding him

look at his face 😭😭 just when he thought he could get a moment of peace to himself guess who shows up

Erik fucking Lehnsherr come to tangle himself up in Charles’ new life

“How’s retirement treating you?”

“What are you doing here, Erik?”

“I’ve come to see an old friend”

i am so genuinely convinced Erik went to the mansion first to look for Charles only to find Hank as the headmaster instead

i’m willing to bet he was ready to rip up the floorboards to look for Charles before Hank told him 😭🙏

god i love these guys…
