So I've been spending my time making JJ and Pope collage image/backgrounds because they are a real thing, and it was not coerced into being what it is. Because it just WAS. From the start. Think otherwise? Please. Do me a favor, pull up season one's very first episode, and just watch the first five minutes. Afterwards, come back here and try explaining to me how that ain't G A Y? 'Cause...I see absolutely no reasoning of it. I thought I'd share one but also I wanted to reach out because I am genuinely struggling with the fact that Pate is giving the toxic divide of JJ and Kiara to those who have attacked, still attack, and will continue to attack Rudy, Madison, and their girls but because of the amount of backlash that's being given over this very real issue, and how Rudy and Madison are so clearly feeling that they need to take extra-extra precaution to the length that they aren't even comfortable to stand together for even a group photo? Be in the same interview, that he's not going to be able to just ignore that and, ultimately, will decide it's best to not explore the duo furthering out in season four and so forth. In which this be the case, he would have to undo the whole couple thing entirely (if they become official before the end of season three? which honestly realistically I couldn't see cause he said something about it being a slowburn, so? A slowburn to me is a couple seasons. Not eight episodes, and by the tenth, they're together-together....
So, it'd be an easy rewrite, overwrite, whatever-write to make if this is so. The question just is:
WILL HE OR WON'T HE?
Is there anyone out there with their own opinion on this? Do you think he'd continue to force it, or would he cut the idea entirely for the sake of the actors, and the actors REAL lives? Because as much as I want and keep thinking he might, I also know how freakin' selfish and greedy douchebags like him can be. Frankly, it's giving me high school throwback vibes, bad. Like triggering me bad. The fact that it's not being addressed, but is currently being condoned(the bullying will increase by the release of season three, so that's still condoning it should he overlook this)----just takes me back to the days I was bullied. And how those bullies never dealt with consequences. But instead repeatedly given a pass. Most of the time these kids were the highest grade student, football athlete, bitchy cheerleader leader, the one who played teacher's pet just to come across as a decent, wonderful human being. And that hurts. It hurts me, because I know what it's like to be attacked. To be told to kill yourself, your ugly, waste of space and knowing that Elaine and Moriah are getting these very words and way worse in the downfall disgusts the hell out of me. I will not be watching season three solely because of this. I can't. Because I know it's just going to add fuel to gasoline and it's nauseating to simply know what's to come. Let alone what's already coming after it's out there.
THIS IS NOT BECAUSE I SHIP JJ AND POPE.
I swear to god, if someone comes on here claiming I'm just being a petty fan...don't, okay? Just don't.
Because that's not what it is! I can handle it if JJ and Pope aren't going to be the show's "official" endgame. That's the point of fiction, y'all. Don't like the ending? Remake it into your own.
This is BECAUSE people are being bullied in the process of all of this, and more or less rewarded by the show giving them exactly what they were bullying for. This is because it sends the WRONG message. To people. How people should treat other people. How to act and expect to get what you ask even though they don't deserve it. And that's not okay, okay? I would LOVE for there to be actual representation in the show (what is this? a series from the sixties?) if there actually isn't...so be it. Put JJ with another girl, if you must. Why must he be with a n y o n e, though? HE'S A DAMN KID AND NOT EVERY STORY IS GOING TO END IN A LOVER'S TALE. Why is it that every character has to be involved with somebody, if just one main is? Uhm, I'm sorry but that's just not how the world works? How many friend groups are out there where one starts dating, and then a year later the second finds a possible interest, and the third one gets in a relationship three months after that first year, only for that second to also be head over heels for his now definite love interest? LIKE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME. Is this an actual friend group experience, or? Why not, maybe just...focus on the platonic friendships you started with? Instead of this whole circle of friends dating friends, friends dating eachother, friends falling in love and living happily ever after as one whole unit? This is a big reason why I don't get into shows much, anymore. The writers always, ALWAYS, gravitate more towards the whole lovers aspect, and like...maybe it's just me but I would kind of love for a series to be centered on a group of friends who are only ever just friends----feelings for none of eachother----and that relationship aside from the rest of the storyline and then gradually add that shit in. Space it out. Don't push it all at once. THAT'S NOT HOW LIFE WORKS. If it was, why would there be so many single, lonely people out there!? It'd be nice to see something like that (sitcoms dont particularly count here) or just a show where the main characters end up with characters OUTSIDE of the original group of characters and all they ever are is friends. Family.
I won't be bitter, nor will I attack anyone to make a point, and feel justified when I get exactly what they shouldn't of. Trust me, in an alternate universe, where JJPope shippers are the cruel ones, I would be just as against the idea as I am JJ and Kiara.
Maybe because I'm human, I guess? Personally I would be too disgusted to know that even if I wasn't part of it, those who were are getting what you hoped for just as much as they did, but in such opposite extremes? It would of ruined my love for them entirely.
This is entirely coming from the bullying issue. Everybody says it's not tolerated. Yet. Do you see a damn one doing a damn thing about it!? A damn thing that tells these people that it's not right?
I needed to vent. Sorry y'all.
Anyone else out there who is also hopeful but just as doubtful, too?

jjpope + lamp
"JJ, turn that off."
Pope's eyes slanted when the blond boy turned on the lamp. Until then, they had been in the intimacy of Pope's dark bedroom, the moon as their only source of light.
"Pope, it's like our first time making out in your bed. I need to see your gorgeous face."
The dark haired boy snorted, and JJ's smile turned into that boyish grin of his that made Pope positively melt.
"You're so corny."
"Yeah, yeah. Come here."
send me a ship and a prompt word and I’ll write a 3-sentence fic

jjpope & bellarke go
jjpope: SHIP IT!
1. what made you ship it?
god, where to start. you know best friends to lovers is my favorite trope and they're just... peak best friends. early on in s1 they're shown to be closer together than with the rest of the pogues (even though they're all really close), planning things together, being partners in crime, jj sacrificing himself for him (although he'd do it for any of the pogues). then midsummers happened and i was gone. the way pope hugs jj like he needs it to breath, the kiss on the cheek, jj acting like the HUGE thing he did for pope was no biggy while pope didn't know how to thank him. like, beside the chemistry i think they're just everything i want in a relationship. the banter, the laughs, the fights that mean nothing because they know they love each other unconditionally, the infinite loyalty. they're just so <3333
2. what are your favorite things about the ship?
GOD that's hard. i'd say how unafraid they are to be touchy with each other, and the unconditional love. like there's an understanding between them that no matter what, no matter the fight or the argument, they love each other and nothing can ever change that.
3. is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
i hc jj as gay, not bi, idk if that's unpopular
bellarke: DON'T SHIP IT
1. why don't you ship it?
i just never saw any chemistry or anything other than platonic friendship here (which is ironic given i love friends to lovers) and then the fans were just. absolutely unbearable i'm so sorry and then the later seasons happened and 6 years had passed and they had different priorities/families and it was obvious their chance (if they ever had any) had passed
2. what would have made you like it?
i guess clarke treating bell better? and just more chemistry i guess
3. despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?
they had a sweet relationship at first, i liked their development! the enemies to friends was sweet
send me a ship and i'll tell you:

i'm watching the "for once in your life, trust someone else" jjpope scene for gifs, and there's a lot to be said about how that scene parallels eddie bringing chris over after the tsunami.
the almost forced casualness of eddie and jj making jokes and being like "nope this big gesture i made for you was definitely not big deal" because speaking the way they actually feel would kill them. buck and pope being absolutely overwhelmed by the gesture and being sure they don't deserve it and trying to fight it. jj and eddie calming down their partner by a big declaration of love about trust ("for once in your life, trust someone else" / "nobody i trust with my son more than you")
i just never realized how similar those scenes are
