listen y’all i wanna be optimistic i really do but this show has. the WORST track record. i just can’t believe that anything is ACTUALLY going to happen with Jemily. For so many reasons. I think Will is still going to be there but just not shown on screen anymore, and i don’t think emily or jj will be confirmed as queer.
i’m so sorry but as a spn survivor this just feels exactly the same to me. it reminds me of s14 or 15 of spn when misha collins was like “CAS AND DEAN ARE GONNA HAVE A HUGE TURNING POINT IN THIS EPISODE!!!” and then said “huge turning point” was the two of them having a 30 second conversation while staring at each other like they always do.
it just screams queerbait. i’m not saying aj is acting maliciously or anything like that, but i do think she could be talking without thinking about the implications of what she’s saying in order to try to get people excited for the next season, especially given how last season was received by the majority of the fanbase. we also know that both she and padget ship jemily to some extent, and that combined with her word choice (calling it a “moment” instead of anything more substantial) makes me think that this is a scene she personally is interpreting in a queer/romantic context, not something that the writers are intentionally doing.
ok when you all said "Cyberwoman" was bad i wasn't quite expecting ianto's half cyberman girlfriend (who's basically in a cyber bikini) that he keeps in the basement and killed a man, to get pecked *NEARLY to death after she was covered in barbecue sauce by Torchwood's pet pterodactyl. AND THEN it turns out she survived by transplanting her brain into the poor pizza lady who delivers them pizza (WHO THE FUCK ORDERED PIZZA?!?! [of course it was ianto and his coleslaw i forgot. he's an idiot]) then the Torchwood team all take turns at shooting her while ianto's sobbing. ok. he doesn't even get fired.
"unalive" should just mean the opposite of undead. if undead means a dead thing thats alive, unalive shuld mean an alive things thats dead. no i dont have any examples. ☝️yet
so the doctor basically sends jack off with the bomb... and totally knows he's going to die with that bomb. and just... right there does the everybody lives thing. after sending jack to his DEATH. and then rose has to remind him about jack. jack never heard the everybody lives thing. but rose did. oh my god the PARALLELS with 9s regeneration/10 abandoning jack
category of blorbo called "technically i like them but fanons obsession with them to the exclusion of other characters pavloved me into having a negative reaction whenever i see them"
Torchwood is the bisexual polyamorous show, and it's the flawed-female-protagonist-surrounded-by-a-very-flawed-found-family show. Gwen bashers continue to miss the point every time.
i only included characters that were either in multiple episodes, had a significant impact on the plot of the show, or were with their partner(s) long-term.
i’m making a list of women in fictional media that are hated by a significant portion of their fan bases because they’re complicated, or deeply flawed, or morally grey, or angry when that is inherently connected to the thematic integrity of the story
so far i have:
Diane from Bojack Horseman
Princess Carolyn from Bojack Horseman
JJ from Criminal Minds
Elle from Criminal Minds
Jordan from Criminal Minds
Ashley from Criminal Minds
Haley from Criminal Minds*
Martha from Dr. Who*
Gwen from Torchwood*
Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time
Lapis from Steven Universe
Jessica from Jessica Jones
Mary from Sherlock*
Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender
Allison (Cameron) from House*
*shout out if they're also hated because they "got in the way" of a fan-favorite (usually mlm) ship and/or had feelings for the leading man that were not reciprocated
anyways lmk if you have others. idk i wanna collect them all and take care of them or something
