sometimes I feel like I've overcorrected on the unhealthy relationships in media thing because there is so much nauseating bullshit out there that people present as aspirational, which is kind of a shame because a lot of the most interesting fictional relationships are absolute nightmares and it's a real gift to see them appreciated by people who understand the nuances and the appeal

#it also depends on your reading of the term shipping I guess #like take lxc and jgy. super compelling and tragic. not healthy or anything and it annoys me when ppl make them all cutesy #but really worth digging into and exploring! same with like...amc iwtv. terrible marriage in like every way #but I really enjoyed watching it play out because the drama mattered to the characters and it was really interesting to dissect #and like phill and myeol are...idk what to call them. but they're enthralling #and obviously if you don't like phill lying to myeol or tracking him or trying to trick him into signing a contract #I'd say it's not the story for you but it was really compelling watching this utter freak meet someone unlike anyone else and like.#become deeply needy over his presence and then need to come to terms with what that means for him #ntm myeol's response to and counterattack on phill which is compelling and fun in its own right #like! this stuff is really neat and I wish like....fandom people didn't make me so wary about relationships #that weren't cut-and-dry sterile saccharine mush #that being said I do vaguely distrust ppl who ship them romantically bc who knows what they're doing with that BUT I also see why they do #of everyone on this list it is by far the least violent and toxic but still. there's some shit going on there #cor.txt
