i dont care if this gets posted, but it’s very hurtful to see a blog dedicated to a Hetero version of a lesbian couple. I assume you yourself aren’t a lesbian and don’t understand how much this is upsetting to see. I just stumbled upon your blog at random. I know a random user isnt going to change your mind and you’ll probably delete this immediately, but please try to understand. Lesbian erasure is very real. This contributes to it. Bonny and marcy are in love. Appreciate it for what it is.

I want to explain this calmly and carefully because I don’t want my words misinterpreted here, because i’m unfortunately incredibly used to people such as yourself getting incredibly angry and insulting towards me without actually being allowed an opinion myself on the matter.

People take one look at my blog and think “Oh, i must be homophobic, i must not accept marcy and bonnie together, i must not accept lesbians”. and it’s frustrating for me because none of that is true but it’s always anyone’s first assumption to think the worst of me instead of actually hearing me out or anything I have to say.

for one, i do perfectly accept them, i just don’t personally ship them myself, i’m not mad they’re together and i’m not angry people ship them, they’re simply not a couple i’m personally all that into. I ship a lot of stuff in AT (Gay and straight alike), but I was never that invested in them, and unfortunately that part of the fandom turned me off entirely from them because i was HEAVILY attacked from that side of the fanbase for having other ships with those characters and having a few issues with the relationship at the time (The show was still airing).

I had friends ditch me, i had harrassers, i got death threats, the ship became entirely tainted for me and harder to enjoy because it became associated with a lot of negativity for me.

It is not a simple matter of me not accepting them, or not liking gay ships, because i’m fine with them and i got noting wrong with them being together, but i don’t think I have to ship or enjoy a ship that is unfortunately connected with so much negativity and was the reason i was highly attacked and tormented in the fandom for years.

Plus that doesn’t mean no one else is allowed to ship anything else either, i don’t entirely think it’s fair to say people who don’t ship them are all homophobic unaccepting people, some people just prefer other ships, i mean, you don’t have to like them but I also don’t think people should be witch hunting people who have no ill intent.

Cause here’s the thing, i kinda personally treat the F&C characters as their own respective characters, I don’t really treat them as pure GB and nothing else, i’ve always kinda seen them as characters within their own right.

They got different hobbies, different ways they handle situations, and even entirely different backstories to some degree. I mean, these guys were made by the ice king, they’re his creations and come from his imagination, and i feel treating them as carbon copies is a little unfair when so much behind them is not an actual representation of the F&J characters.

They’re fanfiction characters, they’re like making ocs based on your friends, except they’re coming from the ice king who has a very warped mind at times when it comes to making his stories so they’re almost like representations of how he sees these characters more then anything

And unfortunately i just might be the only one who sees them this way, if they were pure GB characters who were exactly like the others you’d have a point, but how the show handles them and the changes they make make me feel like they should be judged as their own characters rather then just being GBS and nothing else to the fans.

And personally, I have my own sexuality headcanons for the characters too, personally i hc marcy as bi since she’s the one you’re mostly bringing up, i mean you can totally hc her as lesbian if you want, my hc is personally that I see her as bi.

Since her sexuality as a lesbian is a headcanon, your headcanon, you could see this as erasure, but because it’s not my headcanon, I don’t see it that way.

I could claim your statement is bi erasure, because there are people out there that do treat bi and pan people as lesser in the lgbt group if they’re in relationships with the opposite sex, as if that somehow makes them less bi/pan if they aren’t dating someone of the same sex.

But that would be stupid, because you’re allowed to have your headcanons and so am I, i’ve seen people headcanon her as bi and lesbian, so it’s pretty common to see both ends.

And both ends are valid, but neither should be saying the other is “Wrong” for the other’s interpretation.

i def think she’s into girls, but I see her being into multiple genders as well, but that’s just me, that’s my personal interpretation for her.

Trust me, i easily could’ve deleted this, but luckily you’ve been the nicest person whose been into my inbox on this matter in while and I think I’d be better off explaining where I stand rather then you and other people getting the wrong idea about me.

It’s so easy in this situation for people to assume the worst of you, but i genuinely have no ill intent, i just headcanon the sexualities of the characters differently, see the GB characters differently, and I’m not into marcy and pb because the fandom bullied any interest i may of had out of me.

marcy and pb are exs on this blog, like, canonically, they were dating, I didn’t remove their romantic relationship from this blog, it has been acknowledged and brought up several times.

I can tell you have good intent, and don’t get me wrong, if i was doing exactly what you were saying I was doing and had nothing but bad intent i’d get it entirely.

But the situation is not what it appears to be, and I wish more people asked instead of assumed.

If you enjoy them a lot, then good for you, more power to ya, they just aren’t my thing and I wish i could be allowed to say that without being branded as something i’m not.

I just don’t think i’m ever gonna get passed how that fandom treated me, it’s just how it is.

And maybe you’ll say this is a big ole lie and i’m exactly what you’re claiming I am, but this is how i feel about these topics and I just would like to be allowed to have these opinions without being forced into a box.
