i feel like. when it comes to stories and various media adaptations. some people are so obtuse and their reluctance to accept multiple interpretations of fiction especially those that are ambiguous by design. feels so childish and stupid

im just saying like. anyone who goes ‘jo x laurie shippers are so stupid for liking them didnt you know the writer didnt want them to be together?’ only to say ‘jo and freidrich are soooo cute!!!!’ are deluded in a way no one can ever save

#personal #the reason why is that louisa may alcott did not want jo marrying anyone #thinking jo x whats his face is sooooo couple goals not only spits in the face of what louisa wanted for herself #but is dumb bc like who cares WHO CARES #im talking about the 2019 adaptation btw #i saw someone say yeah its so obvious jo has zero feelings for laurie and ugh i dont get why greta gerwig made her write that letter #it made nooooo sense #AND PROCEEDED TO ASSERT THAT EVERYONE WHO LIKED JOLAURIE IS LIKE CRAZY AND STUPID OR SOMETHING #like woefully refusing to admit a scene should exist in a movie #when it is there for A REASONNNN #makes u more stupid than ever #refusing to accept that multiple different conclusions can be made and justified…..#like the whole thing about jolaurie in little women 2019 to me that is so epic #is that it is not black and white!!!!#it is not as simple as her having zero feelings and not loving laurie and him only being a friend to her #it is that she did not want things to change!!!!#she saw marriage and therefore romantic love as a trap!! jail!!! inevitable disaster!!!#and that is not a bad interpretation of her character?#because there are people who feel the same way? that exist in the world?#thinking so isnt problematic bc these characters are not fucking real #and no matter how louisa may alcott lived her life #death of the author doesnt mean i hate the author so im ignoring her perspective #its that stories can adapt and stretch and transform #and be seen in so many different ways!!!! that people can look at in #and that being stubborn about one interpretation and assuming anyone who thinks differently is invalid………
