Considering the newest events... let me rant for a bit because it's clear to me that many of the loud parts never really cared for bathena or the characters individually.

Since forever, when it wasn't about to brag about AB and PK being on the show, when their screentime wasn't about parenting grown adult men, It was always like this, people complaining.

Complaining of Athena centered storylines, because even 8 seasons later, people still find hard to believe that 9-1-1 is a show about first responders what will includes cops... it's not CF or S19.

Complaining of Bobby struggles dealing with his trauma "being boring to watch". This is nothing new, except, this time certain people seem to be saying "fuck to all good senses" and leaving the bubble of "valid complains of screentime" to insult the actors, ship and it's fans.

So in honor to this I will just forget of being a better person and wish for more bathena screentime and more disasters around them. ✌️😊

Seriously, please Tim, make what these people fear the most, make it the Bathena show, make them the Owen Strand of OG (what they aren't even near of being), because since these people are preaching so much about it, let's manifest it for real so these people finally get so annoyed of the show to leave for good... so maybe, just maybe, this fandom will have some peace, because every new season is a new thing to hate., it's a cycle

To conclude my rant, since people are already ruining this by spoiling others or simply complaining of the spoilers they got and ruining for everyone, i'm just gonna enjoy what i can of the episode and then disappear for the hiatus as per usual, because the fandom gets insufferable. It was a mess due buddies vs bucktommys and this time feels like it will be the same way as the new target for the hate is very clearly bathena and angela screentime.

new otp is Gaius and Evelyn from Rune Factory 3. like, i'm sorry, he has a hard time expressing his feelings because she assumes every gift he gives her is a commission to turn it into an outfit? And she, the resident fashion designer who uses fish and fondue for her out-there fashions seems to relish the challenges he gives her? But when he gives her an engagement ring, one he made as a blacksmith meant to suit her perfectly, she considers this the hardest commission he's presented her with yet and after asking you to suss out the kind of girl he likes, SHE DECIDES TO WEAR THE RING AND WALK SIDE BY SIDE WITH HIM AS HER GREATEST ATTEMPT AT COORDINATION YET. HELLO?

New room, new bed, new life—and each other. It’s all they’ve ever needed. Ian watches Mickey sleep on the other side of the mattress, still close enough to reach out and touch but far enough away that he probably won’t wake up if Ian decides to get out of bed. He doesn’t. // pre-10x08: ian and mickey enjoy a slow and lazy morning, waking up together

I made a “what if Kylo stayed the villain” post because I was annoyed at Kylo stans who don’t know how to appreciate tragedies (like, stories that end without a happy ending for the character) or a character as a narrative element (appreciating him as the villain in the story and not just my uwu baby). But I forgot that Kylo haters also don’t know how to think about him (he did bad stuff so you can’t like him, you can’t choose to be good once you’ve done so much bad stuff, it wasn’t fair to Han and Leia to have a son like that—to which I say, respectively, wrong, very wrong, and correct but that’s the point) so now I have to write about that too.

Kylo Ren is my favorite Star Wars character (sorry Luke at least you’ll always be my url and pfp <3). I will say he’s my favorite mainly because of the potential there was in his character, not because of how they actually ended up handling him in the movies. I think it would have been much more compelling to keep Kylo’s storyline and character development associated with his family (Han, Leia, and Luke) instead of sticking him with Rey for most of the trilogy.

His costume design in TFA, with the helmet and cape, was rad. It was clever, I think, to have this scary ominous dude with a deep voice, and then the moment when he took off the mask and it was just this awkward-looking Guy.

Kylo haters observe things correctly but don’t understand that that’s the point. Kylo takes off his mask and he’s just some weird-looking emotionally weak pale dude. YES. That’s the point. He wants to be a neo-Vader but instead he’s just this pathetic weirdo. Kylo has done too many bad things and doesn’t deserve to be redeemed—YES. That’s the point. He’s gone too far, done so much, and yet mercy can still reach him too and his parents would still embrace him in the light despite all his sins. It’s unfair that Han and Leia had to experience the tragedy of losing their son to darkness—YES, that’s the point, that’s what makes the story so impactful (at least, the setup had the potential to be impactful).

I love that Kylo was Han and Leia’s son. I hate that TFA had Han and Leia divorce over it, and I don’t think they would. But narratively speaking Kylo being Han and Leia’s son is perfect to me. The idea of two of the Rebellion’s greatest heroes who have dedicated their lives to battling evil, losing their own son to the dark…MMMM chef’s kiss such delicious quality angst.

TLJ (and I think some of the novels that portrayed Han and Leia as neglectful parents) messed this up though, because Ben turning to the dark became portrayed as a result of Luke, Han, and Leia’s failings (I’M STILL NOT OVER HOW THEY DECIDED THAT LUKE, WHO SAW THE GOOD IN VADER, WOULD THINK ABOUT MURDERING HIS NEPHEW??) instead of a tragedy orchestrated by Snoke that the entire Skywalker/Solo family became a victim of. I don’t understand why they needed to blame Ben’s fall on the OT trio, his family who loved him so much, when they established that Snoke had been watching and grooming Ben his entire life. So yeah I’ll be salty about that forever.

I can’t even talk about Kylo and Rey right now but I’m just annoyed that Kylo’s turn to the light was centered around Rey who he spoke to like five times instead of around his family who were the most important people in his life. They took my prodigal son narrative and turned it into a Twilight knockoff.

I think it was narratively good for Ben to be redeemed (looking at you, haters) and narratively good for him to die (looking at you, stans). I said in my other post it would have been interesting if he stayed and died a villain, but I do believe in redemption and the choice we all have to turn from our evil and choose good, no matter how late in life. And I think it was right for Ben to die in the service of good, because redemption comes at great cost.

I understand why people don’t like Kylo based on how the sequels turned out. But Kylo is my fav because I know how good his story with his family could have been, if it had been handled better.

[kavehater]

the funniest thing ever is when I’m telling a story in my heart ik is probably excruciating for the other to hear (overthinking core) but then the other is like tell me but it’s not the words they say it’s the specific vibe I get too
