Here’s another idea on why you’d also hate the straight Blossom situation:
EACH SITUATION SHE WAS PAIRED UP WITH A GUY YOU MENTIONED HAS HER CHARACTER BEING THIS “cute girl-who’s-the-nerdy-damsel-in-distress”
Tumblr media
LIKE FUCK YOU MEAN BLOSSOM HAD TO BE SAVED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE PPGD COMIC?? (Bleedman - PPGD)
Tumblr media
FUCK YOU MEAN SHE GETS “Shy” OVER A LANKY ASS SELF INSERT NERD GUY??? (2016)
In my eyes, Blossom is bisexual (with more of a preference for girls) but what people fuck up in the “dating boys” area is that they keep going back to the the “omg I like this boy but im too scared to say something” or “omg I like this boy but I’m too scared to make the first move”
They downplay and remove all the good qualities of Blossom the minute she gets a man because of the misogynistic ideals of shipping, because the fans think “awh Blossom being the damsel/girly girl sweetheart in the ship is so cute!”
Like no—ITS NOT CUTE AND YALL HAVE TO EXCEPT YOU FUCKED UP HER CHARACTER ENOUGH TO HAVE PEOPLE HATE STRAIGHT BLOSSOM.
Only person I remembered that did a straight Blossom ship RIGHT was an artist by the name of CrossoverGoddess, and it was fucking with Jack Spicer too!

Funniest part is that I actually LOVED this ship as a kid. Not cause it was just funny, but also cause they had Blossom’s character AND her sisters’ character’s RIGHT.
I disliked the rest of the ships, because they didn’t do Blossom justice in the relationship. She was fully set on her goals, headstrong, and KNEW WHAT SHE WANTED IN THE END. Even in the relationship, once her and Jack got together, she’s still that headstrong devoted leader girl we all knew and loved well.
If I’m having a straight ship with Blossom, it is STRICTLY “malewife x girlboss”, because THATS HER CHARACTER.
She’s still the GIRLBOSS WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE EVEN WHEN SHE IS IN LOVE 👏👏👏
All in all, this is probably another reason why so many people want lesbian Blossom, because we DON’T WANT HER CHARACTER SNUFFED OUT in straight ships anymore. WE WANT THE REAL BLOSSOM.
Okay but still though, why is it always Blossom that gets a boyfriend that's only introduced to be so in newer PPG stuff? Jared, that one guy from the CW script, this new Han D. Some kiddo. I feel like there could be many more interesting ideas you could do for a PPG Valentines special tat involves the other girls. Like why not further explore the relationships between one of the girls and an already existing character? Why not explore Buttercup and Mitch's friendship more? (Buttercrush already was an episode that had Buttercup having a crush on someone.) Maybe have some more chemistry between Bubbles and Mike! (When the fuck was the last time they did anything with Mike? I think a Bubbles and Mike story would be a way cooler Valentines special now that I think about it, they had cute interactions in Imaginary Fiend.) But no, it's always Blossom that gets involved in these love stories with guys that were introduced just to be her crush/love interest, even in fan made stuff! in PPG 2016, Blossom has a crush on Jared, in PPGD, Blossom is in a relationship with Dexter, in the CW script, Blossom has a boyfriend that is... there. It's always Blossom! The other girls (ironically) don't get as much love in that regard, they always play the third wheel! I mean you could argue that Blossom fawning over a boy while Bubbles and Buttercup are homies and don't need no man is a good contrast, but personally I'm a single lesbian Blossom watching as her sisters get into relationships truther because I'm awesome and different so
Actually since I mentioned Mike, they don't just have to do a Bubbles and Mike story they should just do LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE WITH HIM LIKE HE JUST APPEARED IN ONE EPISODE LIKE ROBIN PLEASE DO SOMETHING WITH THE LAD- y'know what fuck it this is a Mike Believe appreciation post now idgaf subscribe for more Mike Believe content
