@starry_Colette@headcreepss many people write ryland fics that have controversial themes such as stalking, which are arguably worse than carl’s betrayal. also, due to anti-blackness and colorism, simon (a wasian) doesnt get the same treatment as carl (a black man) despite both being poc
highkey why i don’t like bloodymary. yall would rather ship grace with someone from a different movie rather than a black man that he HAD CHEMISTRY WITH!! HE LITERALLY THOUGHT THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN A THING WHEN HE WOKE UP!!!
dare i say dancolt & carlgrace would be significantly more popular if dan and carl weren't black.
its not necessarily just ships either, keith from la la land mentioned never when its clear in the film that him and seb have known eachother for AGES despite their disagreements
@wingedking_j@astraIkit their relationship is literally soso sweet and important to each others character developments :(( i really cant get behind them not being endgame
@astraIkit@IrenesHairclip !! and its so clear that when people do this exclusion, they flatten the rygos character by default. across many of his movies, he and the female lead challenge each other (ie. lala land, crazy stupid love). they kind of just turn everyone into a stereotype

yall are so quick to accept healy and rocky into the universe, but what about mia? dan? jody? barbie?
its disappointing to see. ryans characters wouldnt be-
