#anti-ezra fitz

[feminist-cult-following]

listen I know pretty little liars has been off air for like six years and I should probably stop letting this bother me, but I genuinely cannot get over the fact that they forced aria to marry her teacher and STALKER. their relationship is already disgusting enough before the season 4 reveal, but it’s only made worse by the fact that ezra was following around and exploiting multiple teenage girls. that man should be in JAIL. alex drake should have finished the job when she hit him over the head with that rock.

[buffyspeak]

the thing about most aria hate is that when people are describing what they don’t like about her they are often actually describing indicators that she is literally being groomed. “she’s pretentious and has a need to see herself as more mature and cultured than her peers” yeah! that’s why she’s such an easy target for ezra when they first meet and he’s pursuing her for his book! “she’s disconnected from the rest of the liars” yeah! groomers/abusers often isolate their victims!!! “she protects ezra when she shouldn’t” yeah!! she has been conditioned to do this! “she barely seems to exist or have an identity outside of her relationship with ezra” YEAH!!!! an adult man, her TEACHER, pursued her knowing exactly how old she was when she was just sixteen and utterly consumed her identity. Isn’t That Alarming To You.

It breaks my heart how surprised and happy Aria was in 4x11 about how easy it was to go out with Jake and how she had the time of her life at the dance...and then Ez*a just had to drag her back into the darkness with him. By every rewatch I loathe him more and more.

“Because I got a weird vibe from that Ezra dude.”

Finally some acknowledgment 👏

[chiffonbows]

“aRiA wAs ThE aGE oF CoNseNt”

mf that is a 16 year old and a 22 year old messing around

SIX-FUCKING-TEEN and TWENTY-MF-TWO

like omg i’m so sorry that some of your brains aren’t developed enough to know that 16 and 22 isn’t okay it’s truly crazy how you’ve been failed

[idontliketom]

Every time Ezra and aria are on screen I vomit like why is he okay with dating and having sex with a 16 yr old girl...

[nostalgicbytch]

Growing up is realizing how out of pocket we were for shipping Ezria….

[thefaketeam]

do you ever think about the fact that pretty little liars made us children believe a student teacher relationship was *consensual* and even *romantic* for seven years and get the ick or is it just me

[fllmdork]

Ezria is WEIRD! Pretty Little Liars Drama (video) check it out <3

[swifteforeverandalways]

Hot take, I like Ezra as a character and Ezria as a ship more than I like Alison as a character and Emison as a ship.

4.16 / 4.20

For the ask game: Miguel Diaz, Aria Montgomery and Spencer Hastings <3

Ofc! Also btw I haven't seen the new episode yet, so Miguel's has no spoilers (and none of the CK ones will have spoilers):

Miguel Diaz

How I feel about this character: I like him! He’s sweet. He’s made mistakes, but so has everyone else. He’s also the best teen fighter on the show along with Sam

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Sam! Also sometimes Hawk

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Robby, Tory

My unpopular opinion about this character: He’s more at fault for the 2x8 kiss than Sam is, and Tory should've been pissed at him for it ✋

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wish Tory had gone after him in the fight and not Sam...I mean, he was sober and the one dating Tory

I also wish he and Sam would stop having relationship drama every season like omg we get it, can we move on now 🤦‍♀️ we know you’re endgame, this has no stakes

Aria Montgomery

How I feel about this character: She’s neat. I know people say she's a bad friend, and they’re not wrong. But people hating her for the Ezra thing need to get a mf grip

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Honestly, any of the girls (mostly Spencer) 😂 Noel could’ve been a great option too (like the books!) if the show hadn’t made him so awful. Ooh or Ezra's little brother, iirc they’re around the same age

My non-romantic OTP for this character: the Liars as a group ofc! Also, she and Ezra could've been such great friends if not for their awful romance and the fact that he’s a terrible person aside from that too 😔 smh the chaotic Ezra & Aria friendship we could've had...

Also Jason, if the show hadn’t tried to make them date, which is...so gross. Ew. The fact that people actually ship them (even while hating Ezra/Aria!!) repulses me

My unpopular opinion about this character: A only holding her relationship with Ezra over her head was weird—a) because it was the tamest thing ever and I wish A had blown the whistle, and b) it once again contributed to Ezra/Aria being “forbidden lovers”, which...ew I hate it

Oh and here’s another: shipping her with Jason is still bad, he was literally in the NAT club and knew her since she was little (also isn’t he around Ezra's age??)

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Lowkey if she’d turned out to be A, that would’ve been awesome. Even Lucy Hale thought she’d be!

Spencer Hastings

How I feel about this character: She deserves so much better, the show put her through too much

All the people I ship romantically with this character: All the girls, especially Aria. Also Toby

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Aside from the Liars as a quartet...I can’t think of anyone 😅 I’m sure there’s someone tho

My unpopular opinion about this character: Her sister is awful and I’ll never forgive her for villainizing Spencer for kissing Ian and Wren. Girl bffr?? Those are GROWN MEN and your sister is a TEENAGER

(Coming from an older sister...Melissa Hastings makes us look awful, and I resent her for it ✋)

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: When she turns 18, she gets to give an entire speech to her parents and Melissa talking about how terrible they were to her and saying she’s never talking to them again until they apologize profusely and make amends

I’ve heard Veronica gets better in later seasons, and ofc I know about Spencer’s complicated parental situation, but IDC she still should’ve gotten to say this, I’m mad she didn’t. They were so mean to her in s1 and s2

Oh also on that note, I’d get rid of the cheating that makes her Ali’s half-sister, because…why. And also, no evil twin for her! That should’ve been Ali and Hanna, or Ali and Courtney (like the books)

character ask game!

Interviewer Jake Shane: "Pretty Little Liars.. I honestly think for as unhealthy of the dynamic they lived was, they were pretty solid friends to each other."

Lucy Hale: "That was the foundation of the show - the female friendship. Do you think they're okay? I think they all have PTSD."

Interviewer Jake Shane: "Oh, major PTSD. What do you think they've been up to?"

Lucy Hale: "I feel like Aria is probably like... probably knitting. I feel like she's really codependent with Ezra."

Interviewer Jake Shane: "I think she's the most traumatized..."

Lucy Hale: "In a way that she has become like a recluse."

[cancerian-woman]

there was so many people for Aria to end up with and yet..they never tried longterm beyond Ezra.

[synthesin]

ella to byron: we can’t just run to the police bc it will ruin aria’s life.

fans: omg that so stupid, no it wouldn’t! the police, townspeople and school peers aren’t misogynistic assholes with a history of blaming women for men’s crimes against them. she just doesn’t care.

*goes on to base their entire reason for hating aria on the fact that she was in a relationship with ezra, even though they know he literally groomed her*

. . .

the fact it’s female fans victim blaming aria… so gross and disappointing.
