This is an ST rant I been meaning to do for a while
Honestly like the best part of being in fandoms is all the different thigns people create like......idk man Im not even often made to feel bad for the things I post except one or two that I block occasionally. But I see a lot of like Billy fans get a lot of shit and it's like I never gave a shit for Billy and he gave me the ick immediately(as a character in the show). But he was a character for 2 seasons, and enough of him was explored that was sympathetic and relatable and a different view into abuse than any other character. I never understand people who are befuddled that Billy has a fanbase.......like he is a major character in s2 and s3 obviously he has a fanbase. It's incredible to me people think that you can separate parts of the show as if the same writing room and the same writers aren't coming up with it. Im a Jonathan fan and for a long time any engagement about him was like this too....people don't remember that S1/2 Jonathan got treated just like Billy. Now that there's a decent contingent of Jonathan fans on tumblr and reddit and such you can actually talk about and engage with the character but in s1/s2 the only way to do it was to search AO3 tags because his tumblr tag was dead and everyone on reddit hated him. And it's just like you can't take out one part of the show(especially characters that are so crucial to their seasons) and say this is evil and not part of the show and all these other parts are fine and cool and cute and memeable but this other thing is so ugly and should be ignored. Which is the reaction I feel some people have to certain things in shows they like and it's such a 2024 response to shit but like can we just be normal about shit PLEASE. You can like a character who has done heinous things man, it is a fictional character they are literally made to be liked and reflect real life people. You are literally allowed and hella valid to do this even if the fanbase is small and people don't want you to and people don't get it and are constantly shouting at you not to. It's literally fandom there is more important things to fight in the world than fans of things that make you uncomfortable in a Netflix show. There is nothing at all wrong with liking a character and relating to one who has done something awful or creepy or nasty. It is literally not real, the actions are not real, there is no real crime, no real victim and no real aggressor because it's not real. Seriously all characters are somewhat of a reflection of the writers and their experiences and play a part in building the world out.....yes even the awfully written ones and the bad racist stereotype ones. and the ones that happen after the show or book series or comic or movie series or whatever "got bad". Those are still part of the story and part of the world. I feel I should clarify Im a brown person because IK people will assume and say awful things in the replies if not. And I'm sure this will still get some hate but I'll just block I ain't responding to shit, if you send stupid stuff in the replies it's just sending hate mail Im just deleting it and not responding.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk (I've wanted to do a Billy post for a while but I don't have a ton of stake in the character so it kept getting pushed back. I hope people who interact with my posts don't stop or block me because of this :(. I understand there is a lot of animosity towards the character but I think that's just sad because it drowns out a lot of discussion about him. I hope it will be understood this is not an endorsement or defense of his racist stuff and bad character traits)

i can’t believe voltron ended after only 3 seasons, it had so much potential and instead it just disappeared ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OK... Okay okay nat hear me out. You are the soul reason I have poly sorlato brainrot and I needed to share this BC no one else UNDERSTANDS. were all hella soft for sorlato with a much softer s/o. But I wae listening to Sleep Awake by Mother Mother ( please give it a listen if you can and suffer with me) and it got me thinking about a stand using s/o of sorlato with a regenerative stand. They were reluctantly thought into the assassin team to be used as a healer of sorts but sorlato just kinda claimed them as theirs. Cue the incidents that kicked off the whole "we gotta kill boss BC they killed our gays" incident. Their sweet kind s/o finds their gelato's suffocated body and calls the other boys sobbing. She refuses to let anyone see her dead lover, as she spends all of her time trying to use her stand to regenerate life into Gelato. Then Sorbet's body shows up and she just comes undone. She steals the pieces of her other lover and carefully puts him back together. All the while slowly slipping into a cold and spooked personality. The other assassins give her room to grieve, unsure her abilities can even bring back the dead. But she basically leaves the team and throws her whole existance into hiding from the boss and protecting the bodies of her lovers until she can bring them back. If you want the angsty version, she can't and shes just left with the partly healed corpses of the only men she's ever loved. Or for a not so sad ending, it takes her weeks and almost her own life to bring them back with her stand. They eventually come back to a their soft sweet s/o, who has become a shell of their former self. But they waste no time showering her with affection but also realize what damage they've done. She's still their sweet third love but their is a darkness about her, she seemingly now only sleeps with her eyes open. She sleeps awake. And is just almost as cold and cruel as they are, but in a sickeningly sweet way. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
ALWAYS HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT POLY SORLATO THOUGHTS, THEY LIVE IN MY BRAIN RENT FREE
i think about an s/o's reaction to sorbet and gelato's deaths a lot, but with the add-in of a healing/regenerative stand . . . ohhh. what if they only manage to bring back one of them? gelato without sorbet, or sorbet without gelato--
i think a lot about sorbet and gelato breaking/bringing a sweet s/o down to their level, but the idea that they loved this s/o's sweetness and then it was forcibly taken from them . . . aaaa so many thoughts
