Listen I don’t care for hellcheer particularly, but I’m rooting for them for your spite! I hate when people forget that filtering tags exists and then make it out to be someone’s fault for running their blog how they see fit. Especially since the ships you post aren’t like morally reprehensible in any way. Anyway as a ride or die steddie who respects those who are mutli shippers I’m sorry you’re getting so much hate.

i feel like saying i'm getting hate is a stretch. i never said that gjfdgk it just really fucking gets me when someone sees a ship (ESPECIALLY when it's a rare pair like edancy) that isn't hurting anyone and, like you said, isn't morally reprehensible in any way, and instead of just going, "oh, that's not for me, lemme ignore that real quick," they go out of their way to reblog or interact with a fanart or gifset someone spent hours making just to be like "???? i don't like this ship romantically." because guess what, no one asked and that creator sure as hell doesn't care if you like it, they made it because THEY like it. i saw this happen more than once in my notes today while i was at work and it irked ME and i wasn't even the original creator. it was just people who happen to follow me (it wasn't any of my mutuals but honestly i'm so picky about who i follow i don't think any of my mutuals would ever say something like that. i love y'all)

it's not like we're out here condoning abuse (cough h*rringroves) or ignoring characters canon sexualities. (cough ppl who ship romantic stobin) and it's also not a problem for people to hc eddie as exclusively gay. but it's really fucking weird when people act like even the thought of shipping him with a girl character is gross (and no, i'm not making this up, i've seen with my own eyes people saying shit like: "it feels gross to ship eddie with a woman") i'd actually really love it if they could explain to me why it's gross without it being misogynistic. and i know it's not just 'cause they don't like to see steve and eddie shipped with anyone but each other (also something i'm not making up; i've seen ppl say this shit too) because then they'd have that same energy with stonathan or other mlm ships involving the two. you know how up stargyle's ass i've been lately and i haven't seen a SINGLE person opposed. some "huh never thought of that" but no one explicitly saying "no i don't like that, platonic only." it's just when there's a woman involved. no one unfollows me for posting about stargyle every damn day, yet EVERY time i reblog hellcheer at least 2 people unfollow me. half the time someone unfollows me when i reblog edancy. (getting unfollowed is not something i'm upset by, i don't give a shit about numbers. it's the double standard there)

#anonymous #it's giving biphobia it's giving fetishization #as a pansexual dude in this fandom it makes me feel really fucking uncomfortable

I don't wanna start anything but I've seen the lack of love for POC ships happen in dozens of fandoms now and I just gotta say you can't fault people for not liking what you like bro. You could make a show full of diverse representation but no one's truly gonna care unless the characters are actually interesting. I'm black but I'm not gonna enjoy a show JUST b/c there's a black person in it. If I don't like them I don't like them and them or me being black has nothing to do with it

okay so racism tw , supergirl, anti supercorp fandom, anti supergirl fandom. long post for ts

no, it’s okay, you are free to express your opinion, just like I’m free to get annoyed at the tag being filled with Lena and Lena and Lena I haven’t watched a show that has an ace character in it, Sex Education, because it’s not my kind of show and it bores me (though I do reblog gifsets of the Ace Scene and I am so happy about it. Because I do care about ace representation, I try to promote these things and also to share so that it might reach people who are interested in shows like that and will get a kick out of it. But I’m not saying everyone has to), and I’m not saying you must like everything, but at the same time a fandom like ours simply ignoring the plot of entire episodes because… what, they only find one character interesting and they couldn’t find ANY other worth mentioning, is something I personally found ridiculous.

And that’s kind of the thing, isn’t it? You raised a great point. If this was a part of the fandom that from the beginning had simply said ‘I like this because of my tastes, and everyone has different ones’ I wouldn’t be exasperated, but given how it actually went, nope, THEY said it wasn’t just about people’s tastes, it’s about having representation and supporting fellow lgbtqia+ fans. So good part of my frustration depends on this specific fandom and how it behaved in the past.

For more context, it bothers me that the loudest (even if small) group of fans left watching supergirl on tumblr are the ones yelling about how Kara and Lena not being together is homophobia, and how they are being queerbaited and how the show (and non supercorp fans) is against gay people, while the tag itself is full of posts either complaining about the lack of Lena, and writing posts about Lena, and completely ignoring the amazing wlw couple there and the trans character there, and in fact those episodes with little Lena but focused on those characters get downvoted/boycotted/ignored by the fandom, and while they hate on all actors and writers if they so much as point out it’s not canon or that they are being bullies, and attack minorities, people of colors, transgender people, people with mental illnesses all day long to defend their ‘rights’. Not to mention that it’s the same group that back in the day accused people of shipping Kara and Mon El, also canon, together because they were against James, who is black, and so it was because ‘racism,’ and then turned around and hated James as soon as he was canonly together with Lena. And there is proof of them being racist as well like when they photoshopped James’s actor as an ape* next to Lena’s actress, and how Raul who played Lena’s ex also commented on that behavior. They use social issues to attack everyone and then show they don’t really care about supporting a show that actually has the representation THEY say they are not getting.

I was bored by James and Kara. Nothing to do with him being black. I found him cute with Lena at first but then it became a bad relationship for him to keep. But if you (always a general you, not YOU-YOU anon) accuse me of shipping Kara with someone else (Mon El) only because I’m racist and don’t want her with James, that’s the only reason, and then you start insulting James like hell for being with Lena, you basically said it yourself that it’s racism, and on top of it you used his being black and the ‘you are racist’ card as props to attack people, and then disregarded him and the actor as soon as you didn’t need it anymore, and that sounds also racist to me. As well as how pretending to care about trans issues only to ignore the trans character after you stop needing it is using that character/actress and it’s transphobic, if you ask me.

I’m not saying it’s everyone, I’m not saying it’s all those shippers, I’m not saying personal taste doesn’t count, but come on. Just admit you only care about your ship and it’s not about ‘moral’ reasons, that’s fine, but make it a social issue, and then turn around and ignore episodes about canon representation and downvote them and ask people to boycott episodes. How can you also not find ANYTHING but Lena interesting in a show that isn’t about Lena? So many choices, and yet.

At least this is my opinion, and seems to be the opinion of all the people who liked posts and reblogged. Again, there is a lot of stuff to talk about so the answer is chaotic, but to sum it up:

1) if you build a whole case around the fact that your fanon ship (Kara and Lena) is about representation too, about gay rights, and how much you care about it, and have spent years telling everyone else that they are racist and homophobic because they ship other things, and then you don’t even make a peep about the representation you are getting and just complain about your fanon ship, which by the way up until now involves a white, straight, woman, you are using social issues to prop a ship you like and you don’t really care that much about them outside of it. Admit from the beginning it’s about your tastes and that you just like those two women together, it’s not about a show giving you representation, and it’s fine, but you can’t have both. You can’t tell people that your fanon ship is all about representation AND if they don’t like it it’s because of homophobia, and if they like another it’s because of racism, AND simultaneously ignore everything you get that isn’t about said fanon ship.

2) the cast was attacked in the past with racist and transphobic tweets so some people, not everyone, are also motivated by them. Also really, you are telling me that all these people who like Lena but do care about social issues just happen not to like Nia, a trans woman, and not like her ship with Brainy, a man of color, and not like Alex and Kelly, and not like about the whole plot about the guy going after Nia because transphobic, there is just NOTHING interesting to talk about? Either they are using social issues to their advantage which is kinda homophobic and racist and transphobic in itself, or this is a giant coincidence, because there isn’t one of these plots that is worth a post or that won’t make them not complain about the lack of Lena in a show that has all these characters together.

3) for me it’s frustrating to get all this good stuff and then find nothing but comments about Lena in the MAIN tag, where one usually goes after an episode to talk about the episode itself. That’s how tags work in all fandoms except this one.

4) I’m white, that means that I can’t declare that tumblr deciding not to ship biracial couples in nearly every show where there is one is a matter of tastes or is a matter of racism, it’s not for me to decide, and my personal opinion is that it depends on the person but there is such a racist culture in some places that it can’t not have a role in it. And I’ve seen people of color bring up that yes, it’s about tastes too, but since I’ve also seen many others instead bring up the issue that it’s just happening too much to be a coincidence, that every single time people say a ship is platonic if one of them isn’t white, I feel like it would be racist of me to dismiss those concerns. Because it is a trend and because the racist insults thrown at actors more than once do say that while for some people it is a matter of tastes, for others it’s definitely not just that. Just going to leave this as a little example that represents that hundreds we saw in years:

edit: and

#Anonymous #ele answers #it's been YEARS of this which I can't sum up in one answer #so it's kinda hard to believe that they are ALL being like this without any maliciousness #and that they do care about representation that much and that their insults were in good faith #when they ignore 100% of canon representation #none of it interesting #because their fanon one isn't happening #transphobia tw #racism tw #long post for ts #long post tw #anti supercorp fandom #anti supercorp #anti supergirl fandom #pics from facepalmong-since-chernobyl

My Top Posts in 2021

actual footage of me after watching The Rundown Job and trying to read into every tiny thing that happens [[this is my first watch through. if someone spoils me on anything that happens for the rest of the season, i'mma scream]]

because like

0.5) the homage to 24 was a nice touch. daniel and I appreciated that

1) so much nice, neat OT3 interaction and trust and just y e s

2) i have a THEORY that this is an episode after the episodes that are coming up for the rest of the season because there is clearly SOMETHING brewing in the background

a- the obvious, ambiguous end episode tag from the S5 opener which I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT, NO SIRREE

b- hardison has been buying kit which doesn't get used in the cons we're seeing on screen

c- nate's been pulling back on calling the shots like he's trying to get the kiddos to be functional on their own, like he thinks he won't be around later HMMM

and that's all stuff i'm piecing together/imagining from the eps prior to this.

d- in the rundown job, the characters are handling themselves in just such SLIGHTLY different ways from the eps before. like they're so smoothly confident in their unit together, no hesitation, no pausing to ask hmmm what would Nate say?

e- Eliot's got a noticeably shorter haircut that I will be 👀watching for in the next one. if he's back to long hair, I will be so sus

f- there's literally not a single mention of Sophie or Nate. while trying to step in to stop first a hit and then a terrorist plot??? there's talk of walking away, yeah, but once they decide to step in and do it, there's no second guessing or asking for advice or anything. as though they wouldn't want to or couldn't ask for help. hmmmm 👀👀👀

g- that one Eliot speechy moment (no, not the "you're the smartest guy I know" one, which was ALSO amazing and I'mma need 4 gifsets of that, stat) where he's talking about not turning into the person that you're trying to stop?? gee who does THAT sound like? definitely not Nate, the man who has been pushing the envelope to manipulate and threaten and force his way for all the right reasons -- but what happens if those reasons fall through?

all of this could just be total bullshit but like

i am so fucking ready for the rest of this season. forcing myself to pace myself and not just binge the rest is honestly? such a double edged sword

at least i have my disks now though! no more commercial breaks in the middle of scenes and bonus content that I can peruse later once i'm done

Perhaps it is just my Jon Bernthal tinted glasses, but so far Shane is... pretty often in the right?? Not in a fundamental, perfect society way but in like a... the world is ending and if you're only able to look out for yourself and those closest to you, you're gonna do *everything* for them.

Not that Otis deserved to be brutally torn apart, but... it's very "an eye for an eye". I GET it. And I'm also a sucker for an inevitable downward spiral into desperation and loss *fingerguns*

I've seen that compilation of Ben Barnes kissing people across his body of work post like 8 times on my dash this morning and, honestly y'all, thank u. good post. 100/10. Ben Barnes does kiss like he's about to be drafted in the morning.

Leverage: Redemption initial thoughts (Ep1 only)

- Parker, my beloved! So peppy, so good at connecting with Sophie even when dragging her through her grief. It's so good to see after her character development from 1.0

- The whole crew's characters interacting again was honestly so good. Kudos to the actors. They barely felt like they were skipping a beat after that first kinda harsh to start opening.

- New guy does not appeal just yet. Sorry, Harry. Here's hoping that Ep2 with Hardison's sister will be a stronger outing for new characters.

- Jewish!Hardison rep, that was great

- Eliot's food trucks h e l p. Actually just all of the Eliot was 2good. The fight sequence, so many Dammit Hardisons, the utter lack of personal space between him and Parker STILL, and just yeah. Go Christian Kane for once again making me love this angry lil hitter.

- Leverage: International helped with the con, but it wasn't like the silver bullet. It's still allll on the team to really execute and that I appreciate SO much 🙏

- I still have so many eps to go 🥰🥰🥰 definitely NOT rushing this watch thru nope nope nope
