What's your pettiest reason for not liking a ship, team?

As I've said, mine is 'the colour palettes don't vibe with my warm earth-tones aesthetic'

Runners up being:

'my game crashed on this cutscene twice and when I finally saw it it wasn't worth it'

And 'my bf liked them once, so I think I'm in competition with them, so I don't like ProtagxThis Character'

#this is a no-shame post i in fact vibe with petty reasons #you don't have to tell me what they are in fact its better if you dont #gen q #wonderincs #doesnt have to be sonic #actually yeah dont tag the ship that it is no hating just vaguing

should people experiencing plurality that’s not formed by trauma use a term other than “system” to describe ourselves? genuinely asking, i don’t want to use terms that are not for us, or that would give traumagenic systems seeking a community the wrong idea about what we are. please please please be nuanced in the comments

NGL - got sucked in again. But then again, between this

and this

almost everything in my life changed but the woman by my side, so it seems fair to be attached to the obstacle-overcoming decade-spanning queer represention that's been around along the way

And yeah: #TibetteHasAlwaysBeenEndgame

Despite all the things that bothered me with the show (no real development of characters, total turnarounds out of nowhere, GIGI DISAPPEARING, etc.) I'm really going to miss Gen Q. Aside from the fun of having something to look forward to each week, it and the original L Word are something we're truly missing in television.

We don't really have many shows that are just about queer women existing. Obviously both the original and this reboot were highly dramatised and unrealistic at times, but they were at least rooted in reality and a sense of community. I know that representation in media has improved a lot in recent years and I'm glad to see it happening, but it's still at a point where we're mostly being added into stories. Like a lot of queer women on tv are still surrounded by 90% straight characters, or they're in stories where they're fighting for the fate of the world and things like that, so we rarely get to see their everyday stories. There's nothing wrong with these stories, but I'm not generally drawn to them, I tend to prefer stories that are rooted in 'the real world' (for lack of a better phrase).

Part of what I love so much about The L Word is that I could sit and watch these characters working everyday jobs, complaining about little niggles, moving house, finding friends with people like themselves, finding family, using certain language or references that are specifically related to our community.

I know they didn't always get things right, I know there were a lot of issues, but it's a kind of show that is really missing and has been missing for a long time in the media landscape, and the cast are truly so special to me that it sucks to say goodbye to them.

I already tweeted this as a thread, but I also just wanted to share my frustration with masc representation on The L Word and Gen Q here.

I sincerely hate how they’ve handled Finley’s storyline so far this season & the direction they’re taking Shane’s in. Like why are the storylines for two of the main masc leaning characters barely pulling her life together/everyone hates her & f-boy about to cheat again?!

I just feel like there’s been a consistent pattern since the original series of assigning negative character traits and storylines to masc characters. I’m truly disappointed that not much seems to have changed in the writers room in the last 15 years.

And you could say it’s just a TV show and they’re just characters, why does it matter how they’re portrayed? But the L Word is beyond just a TV show, it’s one of the most widely recognizable mainstream media portrayals of lesbians and queer people in general.

For many young lesbians and queer people, it’s the first representation they will see of themselves on screen. Which is one reason why it’s troubling that mascs will not be able to see the positive representation they deserve on screen.

Also, the way mascs are portrayed on TLW & Gen Q reinforces negative stereotypes of masc lesbians for young queer people who many times will watch the show long before entering real life queer spaces and seeing why those biases are false.

Quite frankly, it’s not true representation when the masc characters are only being allowed to exist as a caricature of a serial cheater and a comedic relief emotional punching bag for every other character. It’s honestly also a waste of two extremely compelling characters.

I’m not asking for them to be perfect or only be given positive storylines, but I am asking for them to be allowed the same depth and range of their more feminine counterparts. Like it’s 2022 this shouldn’t even still be an issue in the first place.

Ok, genuine question for people doing vent art (not only talking about drawings/edits but writing, making and any type of artistic expression) do you feel like it has helped you and is it something you would recommend? I'm currently looking for coping mechanisms and an outlet to release my negative emotions that does not include SH or drinking myself into oblivion lmao
