y’all wanna know my least favorite kind of ending to really angsty movies or books (or just stories in general)? when one character has been suffering — out of jealousy or longing or loneliness or whatever — and the primary love interest in the end just fixes everything (that they caused) by having sex with them. like yes, we all enjoy a good love scene but that’s definitely not the end-all-be-all and it doesn’t satisfy me with all the issues some films or books create. like “let me torment the love of my life for 3/4 of the story and then we can kiss and it’ll all be solved”. like who thinks this is good storytelling?

warning : rant about a show that ended in 2017.
you know what is a bad, bad, terrible way to write a love story?
okay well i gotta get super specific with this so buckle up because it’s literally just me explaining how my last favorite couple was ruined and now i cannot even fathom or care if they even ended up together.
so okay, female character (s) dislikes male character (t) because she thinks he murdered her best friend. then s gets accused of murdering her best friend. and she realizes she may be getting framed for it. so she decides to volunteer to tutor t to try and get information out of him in case he knows more than she thinks. he doesn’t but they end up catching feelings because the actors have insane chemistry.
then skip forward some time and s breaks up with t because her stalker is threatening to kill him. and he tries to fight for her but then seemingly turns on her because he thinks she cheated (which she did not but she leads him to think so to get him to let her go). only to discover in the end he only pretended to believe she cheated so he could try to help her catch her stalker.
now skip forward time and the stalker is back. s is lying to t again to keep him from getting involved and getting hurt. but he gets mad and goes and tries to figure out what’s going on that she won’t tell him. he decides to help the stalker to try and be a double agent. it goes terrible and s finds out he’s helping her stalker and thinks t never actually loved her at all and was just pretending for the last year in order to get revenge on her for things her dead bestie did to him.
so anyways, he disappears for a while and she gets committed to a mental hospital after believing she saw his body in the woods. but then she also joins forces with her stalker in order to figure out if t is still alive. he is and he tells her he always loved her and he was just trying to help her get rid of her stalker so her life could go back to normal.
anyways other stuff happens but blah blah blah they’re the only couple on the show to not break up again until the writers decide to do a timejump in season six.
and this is where things go SOUTH.
okay, so first off s basically starts to date her best friend’s (not the dead one) ex boyfriend. and basically loses her whole personality for this terrible relationship where he doesn’t even love her back and she pretty much obsesses over him 24/7. but the only time she isn’t obsessed with him is when she’s in the same vicinity as t. like the moment t shows up she basically forgets she has a boyfriend. which is why the writers decided to only let t show up a total of eleven minutes in 10 episodes. but t also isn’t single anymore. he’s now got a serious girlfriend, y, who makes s very jealous at first.
but things then manage to get even worse. s and her boyfriend break up but then t proposes to y. and then s tells t to take y and leave town to get away from the stalker still after her. and he agrees to but before he goes, he decides to tell s that he still has feelings for her, that he maybe was even planning on leaving y to be with her, but — and this is the moment that really began to ruin them for me — he realized that he cannot imagine his life without y anymore. and that he’s choosing her, even if he still loves s.
then other things kind of occur after that but basically s gets shot by her stalker and t and y get in a car accident while trying to leave town. and so t really doesn’t care that s got shot. and all he really says is “oh i meant to call you” when she shows up to console him because y is now in a coma.
and here’s where things get to rock bottom (for me). y wakes up out of her coma and t rushes to marry her and pronounce his love for her only for her to die in front of his eyes. which okay, terrible for him. but i care much more about the whole picture here.
because now, ever since the timejump, t has actually chosen y over s at every single opportunity to do so. all the way to her death, whenever it was a choice, he chose her. and it wasn’t until she was dead and no longer an option did he begin to actually want s back.
and yeah, anyways. t and s still ended up together (offscreen) and it was supposed to be romantic but it wasn’t. in my opinion it was worse than them never getting back together at all.
because she was his second choice in every single way humanly possible and i’ll never forgive the writers for ruining my favorite couple at that time.
okay anyways rant over. that had been sitting on my mind since 2017.
and if anyone was curious, s was spencer, t was toby, y was yvonne and the show was pretty little liars.
