Can't you understand?
Oh, my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Why are people sleeping on this green/healthy pairing??!
Ethan and Ilsa are not a couple yet, I get that. But this is one of the few (very, I'd say) healthy pairing that's so well written and well developed by the creators (thank you Christopher McQuarrie & Tom Cruise). Ilsa is a badass female character, that's not afraid to show her vulnerability and her gentle & feminine sides too (what a breath of fresh air in this day and age innit? Very relatable). Ethan respected her strength, never doubted her a single moment even though all his team mates suspected Ilsa. He understood her struggles, saw her as his equal. Ethan was also a very well developed male protagonist. All green flags. We know his journey to get here. I also LOVE the fact that the writers understood that they couldn't ruin Ethan's character development by making him a cheater so they went and cut that kiss scene and took it out of the movie (my shipper heart still wanted to see it even though I understood and respected them for cutting it out to do Ethan's character justice), and they closed Julia's story first, BEFORE moving on with the possibility of Ethan & Ilsa getting together. A super great and correct decision for them to take that firm stand instead of blatantly doing what's typical in this kind of movie of pulling a move of "male spy agent has to have at least 1 kiss or make out scene with the 1 female main character". I love that Ilsa Faust was a full fleshed character on her own (originally they didn't intend to create her character to be Ethan's love interest) and then after seeing that there was great chemistry between Ethan & Ilsa and it worked so well, they decided to explore that. She's the longest lasting female character in MI franchise (MI7 Dead Reckoning will be her 3rd MI movie), and I'm all here for it.
BUT
My question is why are people sleeping on this amazing pairing??!! Where are all the fics and fan arts? 😩😩 (my confession is I've been re-reading lots of the old fics 🥲) why are we such a small fandom 😩🥲

If anyone else is as devastated as I am about Ilsa's totally unnecessary and brushed over death, please read the petition in the link below. I'm an emotional mess about the whole thing but I articulate it a lot better in the petition link. If you've already signed, thank you and please spread it wherever you can as I don't have a huge platform and I'm hoping to get it as much exposure as possible🙏❤️ Ilsa Faust Deserves Better.
