A, V, and X Pls 😊

A - Your current OTP(s)/OT3(s)/OTX(s)

not to be Like This, but scarletnovadevil (rich/matt/wanda), the ot3 i invented, has completely taken over my life. i will shout from the rooftops every single day about how these characters all really vibe so well together. it's about the shared experiences of trauma, mental illness, and self-loathing, but realizing that good things are still out there for you if you're willing to work at them — and if you have supportive, understanding, and loving people by your side.

V - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms

neo/trinity — the matrix series

katniss/peeta — the hunger games

marianne/heloise — portrait of a lady on fire, because this absolutely counts

X - top 5-10 characters who are yoUR PRECIOUS BABIES AND YOU WILL DIE DEFENDING THEM

ok i will give a smattering assortment of characters here, because i have a lot of favorites:

katniss everdeen (thg) — i don't see it as much anymore, but people were really out here coming for a traumatized teenage girl and calling her a sociopath because she was a lil blunt and not super nice, like... WHAT. anyway, katniss my best girl. named my cat after you. you're the best always. love how she was messy and real and not at all like an archetypal protagonist.

anakin skywalker (star wars) — ok. i know. ok. yes. he's done the war crimes and made horrible decisions in his life and i'm not going to excuse any of that. but the jedi were emotionally invalidating assholes and he was immensely traumatized and taken advantage of by an emotionally manipulative prick. i will always stand by anakin bye

sherlock holmes was one of my og blorbos and while he doesn't need defending necessarily, christ did the bbc show give people a weird perception of him. he's just a funky little weirdo who likes solving puzzles and hates cops, why are you all being weird

clark kent/superman — i have been constantly having to fend off the "lol he's boring" allegations for him ever since i can remember. sorry if you're so unimaginative that you cannot possibly think that a guy who's just genuinely a good person and uses his power to help people is interesting. i feel sorry for your life. (note, this also applies to other characters who fit into this general category of character, especially my beloved boy rich rider, who also has to fend off the "lol boring" allegations from time to time. BEGONE)

i feel like pretty much any comic book woman who does something out of line needs defending, but i'll use this space to defend some of my faves. so elektra likes a little murder, so what, she's sexy for that and i support women's rights as well as women's wrongs. if anyone comes for gamora it's on sight. i will also always stand up for wanda because everything she's done is justified, and it's not her fault that everyone in her life has completely failed her when she needed help. like, honestly fuck both the avengers and the x-men lol

as a bonus this needs to be said — i'm peter quill's defense lawyer, even for the war crimes 616 peter committed, but also, y'all. y'all. mcu peter quill didn't do anything wrong in infinity war, you're just dumb for still arguing about this FIVE YEARS LATER.

also for the holy love of god are peter parker and matt murdock horribly misinterpreted by fans, like, always. bad takes abound. i'm here to defend the honor of y'all's characterization as well as your bisexuality.

fandom meme!

Thoughts of an angry feminist lesbian — Heartstopper (series)

Imogen Heaney does not deserve all that hate.

I've seen some of you just going at her so violently. I'm honestly shocked. Here comes the discourse™️ because enjoying a fandom without it is not my idea of fun. :)

I really don't hate Imogen that viscerally. She actually showed such maturity while being rejected. Her relating to Nick's speech about wearing a mask was so important to understand her character. Her "I'm an ally" comment was not a vibe but you guys are absolutely braindead. Where's that hate for Henry + Ben at??? She behaved like any girl teenager would and made 0 homophobic comments whatsoever. I need you to see how badly you're treating average teen girls for no reasons (misogyny).

I haven't watched Euphoria but I've seen clips of Maddy assaulting a girl over her boyfriend. Y'all were clapping because women fighting each other is cool? She was not standing for herself, Maddy is a bully. Imogen is just trying her best to navigate her unrequited crush. She handles it so gracefully, while still being just a kid. She is actually an ally to Nick and is very empathetic. I do not understand where this level of hatred comes from (misogyny).

She's presented as a popular daft girl and yet, she clearly has something to say (the mask discussion with Nick proves it). She also understands to some degrees that her status as a popular teen girl hinders her potential for self-expression/creation. She suffers too from the misogyny everyone is projecting toward her (teen girls are especially vilified + sexualized, which you are doing by hating her this violently and vocally when she did nothing wrong). She immediately backed down when Nick said no.

Her relationship with animals and her loosing her dog made her so human. She is seen as a threat to your ship (the older of us will remember the sheer violence Mary from Sherlock was met with in season 3). But she does nothing to intentionally bring them apart.

Nick sometimes but especially Charlie have terrible communication skills (I actually find Charlie quite annoying, sorry). Charlie's lack of self-esteem and immaturity (normal at his age obviously) is often the main conflict of the plot and not Imogen. She is merely trying her best and shooting her shot with the boy she liked for a long time. You are appalling.

Which brings me to my next point... some of you are fetishizing the gay couple and that's not queer acceptance. And it certainly does not justify misogyny. Either this or you're so desperate to see a queer happy couple, you will destroy any woman just *existing* between or even near them. I'm the first one to agree we need more healthy queer love stories in popular media but it never will be justified to be misogynistic. I don't necessarily care much for Imogen's character but I will defend her till my dying days. I haven't read the comics, this opinion of her applies only for the season 1. ✌🏼
