#nothing against glimbow btw

[spop-romanticizes-abuse]

I didn't get it people that say Glimmadora is a vanilla ship but ship Glimbow

I don't have anything against vanilla couples or ships, but seriously Glimbow is such a nothing ship that we should make a new slang for this called "oat ship" (cause oats have no taste). It comes out of nowhere and they don't even have a good dynamic together, they are just the troupe of best friends turned lovers and even tho i like that troupe is geting so over used that is geting boring, especially when it comes to a girl and boy friendship

Also i was cetain that Bow was gay when i watched the show, and would be good if he was cause theres like, two gay man in the show that apears twice so...yeah, lost opportunity

(If He-Man was a thing in the show i would totally ship him with Bow)

exactly! if anything, glimmadora is a lot more complex than glimbow ever was. glimmadora has interesting conflict that isn't toxic or unnecessary to the plot. they were the actual enemies to lovers ship in spop. meanwhile, all glimbow had was a petty jealousy plot in princess prom and bow being mad at glimmer in s5 (which btw made no sense because if anything, adora was the one who deserved to stay mad at glimmer. their conflict was pushed aside for some forced glimbow conflict).

oat ship is very accurate lmao glimbow always just came off as really good friends to me, and it's a pity that the writers decided to follow the heteronormative trend of having them date each other. yes, i know they're both bisexual but it just feels like an afterthought, because nate didn't want any of his characters to be straight. which is fine, but if glimmer and bow were really supposed to be a couple, the story should have hinted at it from the beginning. it's so obvious that this was a last minute decision so that catra and adora could get together.

and honestly, i think that's the only reason people ship glimbow. because it keeps glimmer out of adora's way, and they could always call us biphobic if we ever say that we don't like glimbow.

i don't mind bow being bi or gay, anything works honestly, but he deserved a relationship where he had actual chemistry with his partner. already bow was such a sidelined character who never got his own arc or had any importance in the narrative, they did him even dirtier by pairing him off with his best friend last minute.
