#it will apparently take even more than shoddy writing and the whole 2x06 fiasco to take them down

That sad moment where you have to unfollow a m!lex blog because they keep re blogging ta*k content because they think we don't like her cause "she gets in the way" so they are being petty😭 like you where there for the m*ria season! You KNOW there is always a reason!

Oh bummer. I'm not gonna lie I haven't looked at my dash in....a lot time, because the 911 tag has so much good content without my brain having to look at non-911 content because it doesn't like that right now, and I have most of the tay kay people that end up in the tags blocked.

I know some people DO hate any person getting between their ship, which is fine, fandom is all about curating your experience, but like...really? The reporter who conducted a non-consensual interview and didn't call anyone about the crew literally responding to an emergency call high out of their minds until after she got what she wanted and it became a liability for her? The one who then fought the city lawyers to be able to air that footage? Who constantly talks down to Buck and belittles him, and invalidates his feelings so she can keep the upper hand in the relationship (sound familiar? 🤔)? THAT'S the hill you want to die on regarding "fandom misogyny"?

It definitely exists, but a character written to purposefully highlight how wrong she is for the person she's in a relationship with, who we are not SUPPOSED to like in a relationship with Buck, a relationship the writers, directors, and Oliver have gone out of their way to make look as uncomfortable as possible, is not it. She's not the "victim", her character is supposed to be that way! Now if you want to take it up with the writers about using female characters like this that's a whole other thing, but both Ana and Tay Kay have a purpose to fulfill and their relationships being extremely awkward and boring to watch with no chemistry to be found IS that purpose. We're not being mean, we're picking up what the writers are laying down.

On the RNM side of things it was just...fucking sloppy writing because they didn't want the character to be the literal worst, manipulative person that they ended up with, and so they tried to just pretend she wasn't, and that what we saw her say and do wasn't actually happening, and the other characters loved her so really it was fine, but that doesn't change that they never knew how to write her and were uninterested in figuring it out. And instead of addressing the issues when they had a chance they just pretend they didn't exist and shot the Malex love story in the chest in the process. It's only by the grace of Valmis and Tyler having literally out of this world magical chemistry that saved them, and even then I doubt they will ever fully recover from the pointless dragging out of them not being together, not talking or only fighting and then in ONE episode magically getting together, followed by PROMPTLY dropping nearly every emotional beat that came their way. It's literally a travesty that that show and those characters and actors are stuck on the CW.

ANYWAY

911 however has an actually competent writers room for the most part and we've even been flat out TOLD that they have been focusing on Oliver's face falling when he's with his gf and they have reinforced multiple times that they don't trust each other, so IDK what people think she needs defending from. The consequences of her own actions? From fullfilling her purpose because she was brought back to be disliked and to highlight a character issue with Buck that pushes him towards growth? Like???? If you want to stan her character, fine do what you want, but she doesn't need "protection" from fans ONLY hating her for "getting between their ship". She's disliked because she's a bad person and Buck deserves better 🤷🏻‍♀️
