Man things have been depressing in my personal life lately

Idk why I had to fall for the most fucked over by the narrative characters ever that I’m completely unable to take comfort in when I need a form of escapism the most

#thinking about viren and allura and lotor rn #I have actually not seen any full fledged analyses anywhere on what went wrong with lotor’s story and that’s so unfortunate #it’s like this thing we’ve all passively agreed on didn’t go well but no one is willing to investigate why or how #and allura’s story is just so sad I don’t even think I need to elaborate more #would say aaravos but I’m actually quite pleased with the direction they’ve gone in with him #but I suppose I still have some salty feelings related to viravos that I haven’t felt comfortable vocalizing yet #but maybe later idk #sometimes I do actually feel like I’ve rationalized viren’s arc enough to actually start to understand and like it #only to have to see the way people respond to it in the fandom again and it sorta makes me lose all the respect I just gained for the show #I defend the show in so many ways and it is legitimately my most favorite series ever #but I just wish the things I’ve been complaining about (e.g. viren’s implied depression) would get addressed by the creators #at least I wish the fandom would be willing to have conversations about these things but they’re not cuz it’s considered commentary #and ppl in this fandom really don’t want to engage in that even when it’s not an inherently bad thing and does not need to end with the #conclusion that because of this critiques the show is bad cuz it’s not and that’s absolutely not the reason ppl present those points #so please stop trying to vilify them for just trying to start a discussion and hoping that the show they love can in some ways improve #regardless of if it’s already good as is #like it’s crazy cuz you have the subreddit and insta where just no one has any respect for the story whatsoever with no justification #and then on tumblr it’s like we have the opposite and it’s a toxic positivity problem lol #all the viren and virrow and viravos fans left #and I’m seeing more and more why that might be #it’s like not only being even remotely critical of the show is a problem but also liking the things about it that the fandom nor the show #itself does is also a problem for some reason
