becky/adam 💜 requested anonymously

Ok so I just rewatched degrassi next generation and now I remember why I stoped watching it and its manly because of drew and becky...

Ok I'll explain after adam died (which made cry my eyes out for a straight hour) not even a season later drew decided to kiss his dead brothers girlfriend and that in its self is just a wtf moment

But when you remember that adam said and I quote "paws off" to drew and what did drew do. . . That's right drew got his dirty paws all over becky and Becky didnt even stop him

Anonymous: I don't ship Adam and Becky, it never sit right with me. I know them as a pairing was big in the fandom but I never could get on board with it.

I understand this I do and yes Adam deserves a lot better but I understand that at this time some bigoted group in America who were and try to shut Degrassi down because they thought a realistic high school can't have gay and transgender skids in same building so Degrassi said a big FU by bringing in Bakers and having the Christian girl fall for Adam that's probably why they were so popular

are you still doing beckdam fanfic? if so, can you link your story/stories?

soon! my username on there is slippingintothevoid

ah well if you change your mind or know any good beckdam fanfics lmk :)

*Answers this months late*

I don’t know if you’ll even see this but I’m sooooo sorry lol. I thought I did answer it but apparently I didn’t 😔

Anyway thank you once again for having interest in my little old Beckdam fic ❤️ Tbh I haven’t been active in the Degrassi fandom for years so I have no idea what good Beckdam fics are out there. But I’ll go ahead and tag the ship and see if others may be able to help out :)

Five ships: Jonnor, Morisol, Spaige, Bhandallas, Beckdam

Five characters: Ellie, Ashley, Liberty, Terri, Emma

Bonus: Name your five most seemingly unpopular Degrassi opinions :)

1.) Spaige

2.) Morisol

3.) Jonnor

4.) Beckdam

5.) Bhandallas

1.) Liberty

2.) Ellie

3.) Emma

4.) Ashley

5.) Terri

As for my opinions:

1.) I'm not sure how to phrase this without it coming across like I'm excusing Tristan's biphobia or trying to shut down fans' rightful and completely understandable criticisms re: Tristan's biphobic moments. But, I think Tristan sometimes gets scapegoated as the biphobic guy. Degrassi always had a massive biphobia problem, and it didn't begin and end with Tristan. It's present as early as Paige's time on the show. Like many shows at the time and even some present day shows, they refused to label any polysexual characters. It's always "I like people". "I'm not into labels." "I don't like this gender, but I like you." "I'm open minded." Anything that talks around the possibility that a character could be anything besides straight or gay/lesbian. Obviously, sexual orientation isn't limited to a specific label. Oftentimes, people choose to remain unlabeled, fall somewhere under the queer umbrella, or consider things like this very complex and therefore don't take on a label. It's the casual way Imogen goes from "I like people" to being referred to as a lesbian during her final season and expressing disgust when contemplating getting involved with her canonical ex boyfriend. The writers' Twitter "confirmed" Imogen as pansexual years later and that's also how I interpret the character's sexual orientation, but.. it doesn't change how they chose to portray Imogen's sexual orientation. However, it's also true that society is only now starting to catch up and has started writing their characters accordingly. Tristan's ignorance about Miles's sexual orientation and refusal to put his insecurities aside and accept that he's in love with a bisexual man until his final season has no excuse. There could have been an arc dedicated to Tristan unlearning this behavior and being a better partner and person in general. This never happened. Degrassi did the absolute bare minimum by having Lola be the one to validate Miles's identity presumably after enough people called them out on social media following the premiere of Next Class season 1. Tristan sort of halfway accepts that Miles is bi, but it's Miles who has the dialogue explaining while there's never acknowledgement that Tristan hadn't accepted Miles up to this point or made him feel any type of way. And on that note, Miles isn't shown reacting to any biphobia. We don't know what he thinks, whether he's mad, feels rejected, insecure, feels as though he needs to be "less" to be accepted by his boyfriend, etc. I don't think I made any sort of point, but basically I feel like everything gets reduced to "Tristan is trash," and that's the end of the conversation when I feel like it goes much deeper?

2.) Eli wasn't out of character during seasons 13 and 14. There's a precedent for Eli lashing out and blaming Clare when things don't go his way or she does something he perceives as wrong. Also, while the timeline was baffling, Eli's only human and it's not surprising that he'd struggle with loneliness once he and Clare were physically separated. As for season 14, Eli being possessive and saying inappropriate, vaguely misogynistic things to Clare 100% lines up with canon. Eli also seemed fully lucid to me when he was calling Clare a whore. He was clearly getting off on that and only changed his stance when he realized she was carrying his child.

3.) This is so minor, but I don't give a flying fuck that Alex Steele came back as Tori and not Angie. It's television. Actors play multiple roles all the time. It's kind of annoying that this overshadows Tori's whole character and existence. I don't think she was around long enough to be super complex or anything, but I liked that character for who she was and the monthly comments complaining about this since like 2011 have been annoying.

4.) As much as I love the idea of Spinner and Terri getting together and possibly becoming endgame in a scenario where Terri sticks around, in actuality I think Spinner would have dropped the ball hard. Considering how he behaved with Paige during season 4, I doubt he would have been the best boyfriend to Terri with or without Paige's interference. As shady as Paige was, Spinner's interest switched from Terri to Paige extremely quickly.

5.) Ashley was depressed throughout her time on the show barring the year she spent in London and everyone missed it, the writers included. I don't know that this is actually unpopular, but she's constantly misunderstood and accused of being "moody" and "dramatic" and it's just very obvious to me that she's unhappy a lot of the time and feels very stifled. She's desperate to find some sort of way to express herself whether it be by writing and performing songs or altering her physical appearance. And at the end of season 4, I genuinely think her mental health had taken its toll which forced her to cut contact with Craig and get the hell away from Degrassi. While she came back seemingly with a new lease on life and appeared happier during season 6, by season 7 she was back to feeling limited and suddenly, the plans she made with Jimmy that used to make sense felt all wrong. IDK.

Come As You Are Pt 1

Happy 10 years anniversary to the best Degrassi season of Degrassi season 12

One the reasons I love this season is everyone is a lot better (Apart from a few *coughs* Some certain Ice Hound with a gay brother *cough* but other than that season 12 features top tier ships you have Eclare, Fimogen, Drianca, Bhandturner, Jatie, Marimo, Camaya, Jonnor and Beckdam who all each have their own plots and stories but also season 12 had incredible stroylines as well

FAVORITE DEGRASSI SHIPS (as voted by our followers) (12). ADAM TORRES AND BECKY BAKER Look, I know it's gonna be messy, but we need to try to be together. Or we'll never know. Try with me?

Still mad over not getting my drianca and Beckdam endgames

And then I fell for the perfect one. Who overcame so much to be with me. 

got back into degrassi just for it to get ruined with adam’s death. literally cannot watch past 13.06, i already know what comes next. my gosh i’m a big beckdam shipper too. guess all i can do is read fanfics and rewatch beckdam episodes/scenes 😪
