fish favicons!!! from the water!!

thing is, greaseball and dinah both have character flaws rooted in their toxic masculinity/femininity. GB cared too much about his own reputation and talked down to Dinah as a result of his own perception of masculinity, he let his stardom get the better of him. But Dinah also let her jealousy and anger at GB get the better of her, she turned her anger into a motivator for her to get back at him, resulting in her plan for revenge. That just shows how she cares too much, she's so empathetic and attached to her lover that she can't find a healthy way to vent out her frustrations. Neither of these behaviors are good ways to deal with their respective needs and wants.

But in the end, she still runs back up to him after he NEARLY DIES, and cries over his injuries. Despite how frustrated Dinah is with him she still loves him deep inside, and he's genuinely apologetic too. Whenever I see people talking about how insincere his apology is and how he only apologizes after Dinah prompts him THAT IS NOT TRUE?? He literally tries apologising before she even tells him to spell it out, the spelling thing is a coping mechanism she learned through processing her own emotions, she's SHARING this coping mechanism with him so that he can process HIS OWN emotions thoroughly because he never learned how to do it before! Because of TOXIC MASCULINITY!!! Those entire few lines are essentially Dinah taking the best parts of her identity, being empathetic, and using it to help Greaseball communicate his true intentions, which is to apologize.

That's what I love so much about those two, their arcs are all about loving each other deeply but not knowing how to communicate it properly and having a falling out because of it, and eventually talking it through with the best parts of their personalities and mending the relationship. The way they treat each other is so tender and the love they have for each other is so deep, theyre just flawed characters who need to work hard to be able to understand each others' perspectives.

whilst yes I agree people can have their own interpretations, it doesn't give anyone a right to just blatantly ignore a misogynistic and racist character.

a character that was made solely to show of how the patriarchy is, making greaseball the cis white hetero man who can and does get away with abusing any and all of the coaches he gets his hands on and by being racist.

if you are going to say silly things, atleast look into show and why it was created, look into of how the steamers, freights and belle are black allegories, look into how girls rolling stock is female empowerment, look into how pearl hate is rooted in the same misogyny people use to defend greaseball.

As you all might be aware, another one of my all-time favourite pairings is Elektra and Caboose … so I went, why don’t I shove the costumes onto Mr.Hatter and Mr.Hare! It only makes sense from where I’ve been a little fixed on Musical-Hare, given the fact that his actor, Reece Holland, was a musical theatre actor and has once sung “Only You” from Starlight … so yes, that was my excuse with my tin foil hat moment.
