Babes, babes babes.
I promise you, Taylor Swift is not the only person who ever wrote about love in the world.
#I am a casual listener#and I don’t care for the cult of personality that has sprung up around her#but…there are other sources of inspiration#I know miss Jenny is straight up writing Taylor songfic#but we need to introduce more biodiversity in the Bellyjere space#let’s get sonically interesting sweethearts#I certainly appreciate the amount of creative work that has been inspired by her and her music

Is it true?
Are people coming around to the fact that Show Belly is a different character from Book Belly?
Has critical thinking finally entered the chat?
*gasps in transformative fandom/show canon enthusiast*
#belly conklin#mind you all these changes have a certain portion of fandom in their feelings really bad#Do you mean to say belly can’t exist as a character unless her story and growth is solely tied to a boy?#Say less please#masks are coming off#some of y’all really want her to stay sixteen forever#and none of that crowd is what a ‘girl’s girl’ supposed to mean#Let show belly thrive away from early 00s internalized misogyny and Not Other Girlism#at this point i really would prefer bells to choose herself and not end with either brother because the fandoms are so fucking toxic#OBVIOUSLY i would choose her to be happy with Jere#But the way the discourse is so heavily focused on shipping and people clamoring for belly to be punished#Like how many times does she need to make amends? what does she need to do to get forgiveness?#Book belly regression bleeding into show belly is a hacky writer choice and i hope the smarter fans realize#instead of jumping straight to oh poor conrad meow meow jerebear blah blah#She’s just as much of a victim of the narrative

the disregard for Belly’s happiness is something I expect from the other side, but is so disappointing when it’s your own fandom
the fear/expectation that Jere’s character is going to be dismantled and denying that because you know the show has a narrative to push but not saying a word about the potential destruction of Belly’s character to further said narrative and expecting of it of her because she broke Jere’s heart in season 1 - and not considering, oh this is fucking bad writing too
The DISCONNECT
Show Belly, I’ll always love you, and that C endgame is not it for you
#i honestly think if I hadn’t seen so many bad lazy or straight up misogynistic takes about belly#I wouldn’t have glommed on to her character so much#but wave a misunderstood over hated female character in front of my face#and have 90% of the discourse surrounding her being about a GUY?!?#fuck out of here#that’s niece right there#other characters can fuck up spectacularly and don’t get half of the criticism belly does#for being…wait for it….an impulsive messy teenager#a teenage GIRL which means obviously she is satan#tired of the default being ‘oh the male character is more interesting and nuanced’#newsflash: they’re teenagers and they fuck up#only the show is going out of its way to let one certain character get away with side eye behavior CONSISTENTLY#and guess what? it’s not Belly#my main problem is when people criticize belly they don’t do the same for other characters#who are equally as messy or made mistakes#anyway: if you don’t like Belly this space is not for you#I love her and I love Jere but I’m on her team because some of you are…🤨

Having thoughts about future edits and fic covers - also, complaining about seeing Bellyjere on your TL when you could have spent those seconds blocking/muting the account - it gives no awareness at all.

“I don’t care about the romance, I care about the journey the (male) character is on and am always on his side no matter what, I only tolerate the female character in relation to him and how she makes him feel,”
100 posts about the male character
1 post about the female character and why she’s a fuck up and doesn’t deserve love
#outside of the ship#because no character should ever be defined solely by their relationship even in a romance story#where is the meta where is the deep dive into the female character#“why does she behave the way she does “ let’s unpack that#what are her motivations#what could improve her character#what are her interests what are her dislikes#I don’t find her interesting but I don’t dislike her here’s why - a screed that reads actually I do dislike her a lot#how does the author’s original intent flatten the characterization#double standards#this could be copy paste about any female character btw

I’m here now
#jelly bears#team jelly#bellyjere#belly conklin#jeremiah fisher#belly x jeremiah#jeremiah x belly#team jellyfish#the way the 2nd season repeatedly showcase how they grow w/each other#in times of hurt and uncertainty to love and care#their parallels and emotional echoes!#one of the recurrent themes is how they suffer when they are separated#and that they’re stronger when they’re working together#they need each other

feeling nostalgic for fandom meta. Yeah incorrect quotes and memes are cool but have you tried an in depth psychological analysis of your fave with supporting evidence and quotes from their source material? Have you used tumblr’s unique format to your full advantage to ramble on and on about the tropes that they address and subvert and how their arc changes and develops? Have you ever sat down with a spreadsheet to get real autistic about all of their canon iterations and compared it to fanon portrayals?
edit: turning off notifications for this. some of y'all are missing the point :/

centering the guy in a m/f ship when ideally, equal adoration and care should be lavished on both characters is weird right? It’s not just me?
#I guess I have time today#Was belly wrong and hurtful for disregarding jere’s heart and not being in his life when he needed her#Yes. I don’t defend her when my girl is wrong#but she didn’t know the extent of how much he was suffering because she trusted her boyfriend when he said jere was fine#she wanted jere to be fine#and jere wasn’t answering her attempts#so tell me how many times should she have tried if she was getting NO#is that not respecting his boundaries?#we’re just going to forget the times she asked about jeremiah first#Or that she paused the relationship because she realized how much she hurt jere#I love jere but when he told her she left him - honey you also didn’t let her back in#The left me part could have covered anything really#Right after the cancer reveal or the months he cared for susannah or the fuckery that happened#At the funeral#Or the last time she saw him with susannah#Where he gave her time with his mother -#but he turned around and left

#every fucking time!!!#love it when girl characters get judged harsher and reduced into being just a love interest and not a character with her own purpose#LOVE IT#“I don’t trust her because she hurt my precious darling boo boo”#Let’s just stitch a scarlet A on her and call it a day#WHY DO YOU SHIP IF YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT ONE HALF OF THE SHIP THEN#I am tired#say you actually do want to punish her and go#am i over reacting and too emotional invested in a silly summer show?#1000%#I gotta breathe and respect people’s opinions#but oof it is so — i’m an adult i’m an adult i have my own head and heart canon and that is enough#Thank god for fanfic
