#like youre not going to mention Tom of Great Gatsby being a white supremacist? no? just decide hes gay?

I get ever so slightly fucked up when people point at two characters and claim there's Some Romance There and I cannot see it.

Times this has happened off the top of my head:

- my friend pointing at a scene in 12 Angry men between white guy number Not Guilty and white guy number Guilty no I don't remember which one it was just early in the movie and saying "kiss" and then iirc saying "you don't see it?" afterwards so not totally a joke, which scares me

- this one doesn't count bc the show has made one of the characters a lil gay at minimum but I need to include the post saying that a female character in Smiling Friends who's has TWO LINES IN TWO SEASONS "isn't getting in the way" of the main characters getting together and you shouldn't hate on her is on this list not so much because I can't see the two MCs together (eh) but because it didn't even occur to me that she was relevant to any of this. I'm agreeing with the post but more than anything it's a burning ship passing you in the night type of situation. You couldn't have made me tell you her name with a gun to my head that's how irrelevant she is.

- problem of the week side character and different related but not totally relevant side character from the same episode who interact once at the end in the same motherfucking show just now.

- Canada and Prussia from Hetalia who have yet to interact outside of exactly one blog post from like 2011

- Keith and Lance. Sorry.

- racist guy and Gatsby from The Great Gatsby.

- others I can't remember but will surely see again

Like I'm not even against shipping altogether. I've dabbled. I just get flabbergasted sometimes
