i don’t even know what’s going on but i’m happy to be nasty to anyone in order to stand on business regarding anything. this is being said in a jovial way but i mean that. xoxo leaf

the way we became mutuals over it like i went this person is speaking real. i want to be their friend :3

they very much see the issue when it’s penelope meeting violence, having to run away and colin is with someone else, etc like. what to say that we shrug it off when it’s kate. and i focus on kate moreso because she was cast long before sophie, but depending, writing her off now earns a mental ? Too

like i still do not go into tags i don’t want to. i only ever hear how many p/a fics there are when i’m unwillingly seeing a kathony report on it. i do think i’m allowed to complain about seeing it in entirely different tags. sometimes those tags TALK about “no kate” etc like how do you not go :////

I feel like I read “fandom racism and removing women of colour has existed forever it’s not gonna go away and if u have a problem with it there’s the door stop complaining” 5 times today

Crackships are all well & good but some people are just assholes

OK NOW I’M DONE. i’ll stop being strict when we’re like. getting it right for once. or just not treating grucy the way these people would HATE to see their own ship treated

and that guy would never do something he knows would upset colin that much or deeply 😞

i’m sorry to make this more pointed, but i fear there is not a single polin out there in position to tell me what is or is not in-character for gregory … imm not doing a bit i studied his book like an academic text … hes not flanderized character #3 to me …

you also would not like it 😭😭😭 if the roles were reversed and i was making out that one of gregory’s brothers was interested in lucy as a canon fact omg sorry yes this is also on some principle that it wouldn’t be enjoyed the other way around. lucinda and hermione come here

he has beautiful and uniquely specific relationships with all three of them 😭😭😭😭😭 and it’s always always getting diminished omg he goes to their houses and plays with their kids and does the dishes and they send him home with leftover food and a pinch on the cheek

this really is like a priv i’m so sorry but i’m sure my longer-time fandom friends are sick of hearing me complain about this one but i’m drunk and in bed with water now and i opened my phone again. anyways i hate the concept of gregory hitting on his brothers’ wives so much

elozabeth olsen shakes her head dot gif….

but NOW we’ve said it!!!!!

i’ll be strict as well now idgaf what has being polite about this gotten anyone 😭. i do not want to see this stuff

like they’re a meaner stricter etc fandom but their laying down the law achieved those results (the results being those shippers not tagging their shit kate/anthony nearly as much anymore, which was/is a pretty bum thing to do)

like i’m sorry i will speak up because on a more material level: i am not going down for YOUR crimes!!! 😭 i love colin down. they couldn’t have manufactured a more fitting love interest for pen. sorry to shayla eloise

also this is aside my point above but the number of people lecturing who’ve expressed they do not like seeing colin shipped with characters other than penelope like be fr about this.

but they are not above the implication of writing or killing kate off for this 😭 other folks are allowed to be uncomfortable!

it just does not exist in a vacuum like yeah it does make myself and other brown girls :/ to see kate’s love interest shipped with a character he’s never conversed with. a white person exercising creative freedom in a fandom CAN do what they want

why aren’t we crackshipping other fictional woc who are attracted to men that we loooove with male characters who aren’t their love interests like enlighten me on this one 😭

it takes a real audacity to be white and then go lecturing other people that there’s no race element to this 😭

writing penelope in love with anthony or benedict does make you a penelope hater. i don’t give a fuck. cry me a fucking river

@itwasglorious.bsky.social knock knock. It august

that said thank you very much for being so mindful 🫂💜😞

'wathcsd leaf see this post' 😭😭😭 i felt a disturbance and was summoned....

Writing her next column

please can yoyu keep me in your thoughts when yo post like this. i understand the sentiment and support it and you in it but 'benedict and colin in scenes together' scared th shit out of me.

NEVER! 😭😭😭
