“enemies to lovers as a fictional trope is harmful because it normalizes and romanticizes abuse and toxicity” my brother in Christ, touch. grass. they fuck while trying to murder each other and also they use each other’s blood as lube and yeah they look hot as fuck. what are you going to do about it?

[kathrahender]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who hates fics with tags like "Major Character Death" "Hurt No Comfort" "Bittersweet/Sad/Bad Ending" and more. Isn't life enough sad and hard to make the characters from shows/movies unhappy in the fics too? 💀

I mean of course everyone can write whatever they want, but why writing a fic making your favorite characters/favorite pairing suffer until the end of the story when you can give them a happy and beautiful ending????

"It's for the angst". Bro the angst is only funny if there's comfort and a happy ending after all the pain 😭

It’s obvious Steve worries about the ones he loves, especially that person is his husband

This poll was submitted to us. If you’d like to send us your own scenario (plus different ways a character might react to said scenario) so we could make a poll for you, feel free to send them to our inbox.

Sorry I didn't respond to your text. I saw it while reading about the same two idiots falling in love again. I decided to respond when I was done reading but then a 200K slow burn fic caught my eye. I forgot I had a phone for a while.

Tag your otp 🤣🤣🤣

You know what I find hilarious about this whole shipping Steve with a man thing? It's that Stonathan Shippers are big time survivors... If you guys were to fight us on a ring, you'd be making gold medals.

S1: Stommy — Stonathan. 1-1

S2: Minor Stommy — Harringrove — Stonathan (Tommy is basically not that much in the picture anymore. Last two ships survive a new season) 0-1-1

S3: Harringrove — Stonathan. (Billy dies, Stonathan survives) 0-1

S4: Steddie — Stonathan (Eddie dies, Stonathan survives). 0-1

S5: Stonathan.

You are the OG and have made it to S5, nothing beats you 🤣 Congrats 🎉🎉

Ps. I would have thrown Steve + Argyle in the mix, but Argyle is better with Jonathan, so yeah :')

Steven… stop staring LIKE THAT at the new hot shirtless dude in front of you… your girlfriend is literally here and oh wait- now she is leaving but you did not even notice because you were too busy staring into his eyes!! loser!!

[adelacreations]

"You're staring Pretty Boy~"

Happy Birthday, Billy! Enjoy your date with Steve as he wines and dines you tonight!

This is so cute. Imagine professional dancers Harringrove. Billy's the one in the relationship who always gets carried away by the music and has to dance along. If a jam comes on he's liable to break out in a chorus and do a couple of spins right in the middle of the grocery isle. Back in school Steve would try and act cool, but now all Billy has to do is give him a certain look and Steve knows what time it is. Steve loves it, especially how pure Billy's joy is when Steve gets into it and surprises him with a dip or a lift.

Micro rambling inspired by a piece of Harringrove art by the lovely HunnySheep. It has Billy covered in blood, Axe behind his back groping himself while looking down at a freighted Steve cowering on the ground. Go check out her art!

Steve trips and falls as he runs away from the axe wielding killer that he saw hacking up Nancy's struggling body. He scrambles trying to get back up but in the fall he twisted his ankle. He turns around feeling the ground for anything he could use as a weapon to defend himself with. His heart stops beating for a second before kicking into overdrive as a shadow falls over him. Panicked he looks up, his breath hitches as his eyes lock with Billy's blown out dark orbs. He licks his lips and swallow trying to find his voice, a whine involuntarily leaves his throat. His eyes get drawn to Billy squeezing and palming his dick. He makes a split second decision, he bares his neck, and let's his knees fall open, as an invitation. He bites his lower lip and let's out a whine ' Billy ...'. His fingers dig into the ground, to hide their trembling. He trys to lean into the trembling of his body, hoping, praying Billy will interprete it as a sign of lust and not the fear paralysing him.

In case you wanna read it, I wrote it.

What if the Harringtons show up one day and Billy is in the kitchen in just sweatpants and making coffee and they have no idea who Billy is because they've been away so long and they're all, excuse me, who are you and why are you in our house, you need to leave this instant before I call the police. And Steve comes down the stairs, wrapped in a sheet, hickeys all over, and he's like, can you not call the cops on my husband thank you.

"You want to make everything LGBT" "They are married and with children" "They're enemies/rivals, wth?" "They don't see each other like that" "They are just friends" "They are like brothers/sisters" "They are in love with another person" "X character is straight" "Why can't two girls/two boys be friends?"

Those are only a few examples of comments people has done about shipping two girls/two boys together. And I'm so tired of reading again and again and again the same things. I'm not gonna lie, I tried to hold back my anger towards this topic, but I need to talk about this to feel better.

First, about the "You want to make everything LGBT". No, no. That's not true. We don't want to make everything LGBT. You are the one who wants to make everything straight. In every single show/movie I've watched there is at least one straight couple (most of the times there is more than one). And you know how many LGBT ships are in the same show? Yes? Exactly. Zero. One or two if the show is good enough to be inclusive. So please, stop with the "You want to make everything LGBT" argument because it's stupid and it makes no sense.

Secondly, about the "They are married and with children". So? What does that mean to you? Why does that matter? Last time I checked, divorce existed. And there are straight couples that divorced in real life, so I don't see a problem if the straight couples divorces in the show/movie. Is it a big deal in reality? No. Or you just don't like the "breaking up because falling in love with someone of the same sex" thing? Huh?

In third place, the "They're enemies/rivals". Ever heard about the enemies/rivals to lovers trope? And about the redemption/corruption arc? Because those are ways a ship like that can happen. And last time I checked, people don't care about the "enemy/rival" thing if the ship is straight. No one cared about the "enemies to lovers" in books like Shadow and Bone, Folk of the Air, Shatter Me or others. So that only matters if the ship is LGBT or what?

"They don't see each other like that". Well. You always saw your lover as your lover? Or first it was your rival, your friend, or someone who wasn't even in your inner circle? You saw them and you inmediatly became lovers or what? Because two characters can be rivals, friends, or people who don't know each other at first and then learn to love each other. Just. Exactly. Like. A. Straight. Couple. So, again, this is a dumb argument.

"They are just friends". Just like I said in the previous point, a boy/boy or girl/girl friendship can turn into love just like a boy/girl friendship can.

"They are like brothers/sisters". Let me ask you a question. They canonically said "I see you as a sister/as a brother"? Because if they didn't, you're just asuming things. You're just assuming they see each other as sisters/brothers because you don't bear them seeing each other romantically.

"They are in love with another person". Agaaaain. Were you always in love with one person? Did you marry the first person you loved or what? Or you liked/loved people until you found the person you actually wanted to be by your side forever? And just as you can fall in love with someone, you can stop loving them. So once again, this argument makes no sense.

"X character is straight". Well. I myself thought I was straight. My best female friend thought she was straight herself. My two best male friends thought they were straight themselves. And I ended up being pansexual, my best female friend turned out to be bisexual, and my two best male friends turned out to be bisexual/gay. Being married to a woman being a man or being married to a man being a woman doesn't mean they're straight. They could realize they are not straight but bisexual. Or pansexual. Or ace. Or whatever you want. But it's not something that cannot change. It's not something written in stone.

"Why can't two girls/two boys be friends?". And why a girl and a boy can't be just friends? Because almost every show has a main straight canon couple. Westallen, Olicity (The Flash, Arrow), Charles/Moira, Peter/MJ (Marvel), Darklina (Shadow and Bone), Stydia, Scallison (Teen Wolf), Deckerstar (Lucifer TV), Hinny (Harry Potter), Mileven (Stranger Things), Anidala, Obitine (Star Wars), Leorai, Apriltello (TMNT 2012)... And I could continue. And it is always the main couple. The main couple is always a girl and a boy. So I don't understand why can't you see that the ones that can't be just friends aren't two boys or two girls. The ones that always have to be romantically involved are a boy and a girl.

If you read this to the end, thank you. I hope you think the same as me. And if you don't, read it again and see some of the shows I mentioned. And please, think about what I said instead of being a close-minded person.
