A not so gentle reminder that this tumblr is heavily pro - Show! Belly and I do not subscribe to the she doesn’t deserve Jere or he deserves better than her opinion that floats around in fandom. Some of the fandom is really weird about punishing her and making her grovel and fixated on her cheating on him or him cheating on her just because Book 3 went there. I’m going to say this again and in italics: they are separate canons, season 3 hasn’t even started filming.

There already is a heavily biased narrative against them as a couple, them as individual characters, and the unfortunately predictable fandom tendency to favor male characters even in a presumably female centered/led cast. IMO the characters are all underwritten, with varying degrees of consistency.

Do you really ship Jelly or are you just team Jeremiah and too much of a coward to self-insert yourself/make an OC so you stay in the jelly sphere and shame Belly like she personally cheated on you?

And as for Book Belly:

#there’s been complaints that the other side is concerningly puritanical regarding belly and how she belongs to the other brother #but sometimes the call is coming from inside the house #team belly #i don’t see the point of shipping in this age if you don’t care about both sides #i just have very little patience at my big age with audience blaming and casting the teenage girl as the villain #belly has main character syndrome because spoiler: SHE IS THE MAIN CHARACTER #when i was growing up do you know how many Asian American female characters were the leads? in a YA show?#crickets #they were either the supportive best friend #random hot popular bitch #model minority stereotype to prop up a white character #i remember reading an opinion about the love triangle wasn’t believable because Belly wasn’t pretty enough to warrant that kind of attentio #when i tell you my jaw clenched and my eyes rolled #people can have opinions #people are also fucking stupid #anyway belly is a flawed immature sometimes self centered teenager #how unrealistic right #who makes poor choices #but damn it i love her #i never said the show was good i said i liked it #me: And I took that personally #belly conklin #tho i will say no one hates belly more than the most vocal b/c fans on the hell site aka twitter
