okay i think im gonna take another little break from the dash, but if any mutuals wanna talk on discord we can!

rebecca black was right. It’s Friday

i cannot emphasize enough how detrimental it is to the quality of the entire show when you have writers who don’t understand and care for louis enough to write him with the love he deserves. as a black person, as a victim of abuse, as someone with complexity who isn’t reduced to his past. he used to be written with love, but suddenly he’s written with contempt that doesn’t even try to mask itself as love. this season’s level of disregard for him makes everything else feel soulless and empty. is this just how he's gonna be written now? is he going to be the narrative's punching bag every single season? we cannot continue like this

i think it's normal to be upset and disheartened over the fact that something you loved so deeply has been stripped of all its meaning and essentially twisted into a completely different (and worse) show. criticizing that and the obvious racism/sexism that's been a focal point of this season does not make you a hater or a bitter fan that should just "stop watching and leave the fandom" because you won't be missed by the other fans or showrunners....fandom culture has not changed at all in the past twenty years and it's disappointing but ig not all that surprising to see :/
