#MoreBOOMLessGloom4-22-2015 AKA: the morning in which every single Ranchette had to talk RG off a freaking ledge. <3 my loves.
We love you too and we’re always here to talk each other off those ledges! If shows would stop messing around with our emotions, then we wouldn’t all be stuck on those darn ledges in the first place, LOL 😆
#MoreBOOMLessGloomP.S. I identify a lot with the writer of that article who wrote:
What about my tastes? I have mentioned this already, but I am very conservative and family-bound. It should come as no surprise that I hate couples who prioritise their passionate love affair over their family and friends. This is going to sound slightly stupid, but the best way to win my approval would be if the main character is a siscon. Anyone who would rather rescue his little sister in a pinch than his girlfriend is a Bro in my book. Beyond that, I don’t really care as long as the two characters aren’t annoying and spend ages pointlessly denying their attraction to each other. Basically, that comes down to me thinking that friendship and companionship is the best foundation to build a long-term relationship on. You’ll have your own values which you might emphasise more, but I’ll hold steadfastly to mine.
Family and friendship, even more than romantic feelings, are so fundamental in my book, too. Pairings like Rumle/Cora, Hook/Milha, Hook/Emma, and sadly even Regina/Robin just naturally don’t endear themselves to me. While romantic feelings can lead to family building and lasting love, I also desire the core of a relationship to be that of friendship and companionship, which can be found in a healthy family unit. I don’t want to watch a pairing tare a family apart or cause an otherwise honorable man to go against his better moral judgement. I was in favor of Robin and Regina up until 4b, because their relationship didn’t come at the cost of others and was about more than just them, but also a family. But then the writers made in near impossible for me to root for them when Robin compromised his honor when he thought he was still married to another. In the end, it was Zelena parading as Marian, but at what a cost did it come for Robin/Regina to be preserved — namely Marian’s murder by Zelena. Marian of the past met the same fate at Neal. In OUAT, I thought I was watching a story about how a dysfunctional family unit reconciled and mended generational hurts. While we got a taste of that, Baelfire’s death was really the continuation of past wrongs being repeated in my book. Even though Bae’s death was a sacrifice in a way, it was also a gratuitous death. Bae should’ve known better, and did, the price of dark magic; so him saying “to hell with the consequences” was so uncharacteristic, and a messy character assassination to make him look like a dimwitted “villain” (Hook’s words) while Hook got to revel in the downfall of his romantic rival for Emma’s affections. It was all the more messed up, too, because Hook could’ve been like a second father to Bae; Hook could’ve done the truly heroic thing and sacrificed for Bae, as an act of redemption for wronging Bae as child when he turned him over to Bae’s demonic grandfather. That is why Baelfire was a Bro in my book, but Hook is no hero. Whereas Hook only makes a “sacrifice” for the woman of his affection (which was no real, or lasting sacrifice seeing how Hook got his ship back), Baelfire constantly put the needs of his friends and family even before his own personal desires. He tried to save his father from darkness, even if it meant embracing the unknown. He counted the Darlings as his family, and scarified his freedom to save Wendy’s brothers. He scarified his own wishes of having a relationship with Emma so that she could find her family. He again went through the portal so that Henry wouldn’t have to grow up alone like he and Emma did. I was strongly rooting for Baefire’s sacrifice and real heroism finally being rewarded after spending a lifetime alone. Baelfire getting the family he’d always desired with his father, and more recently his son, Henry, would’ve been enough, and if he reconciled romantically with Emma, than all the better. Their love went deeper than romance anyway; they were family at the end of the day. Their little yellow bug represented home, love, and familial security that they never otherwise experienced as orphans.
THIS. THIS!!! ALL OF THIS TO INFINITY. This is why I am no longer watching this show. Everything that I loved so much about it has been sacrificed and thrown away for things that are cheap, not honorable, not lasting, and completely against the original concept of the show. I couldn’t have put that better myself Slurp. *sad fist bump* 🙁
#MoreBOOMLessGloomTwo more GA friends of mine are quitting the show. Last night was the last straw for one and the other was so upset that she actually tweeted Troll #1 and told him what she really thought of the show. These are two of the most easygoing, friendly people I know and even THEY are now done. Hope it was worth it Disney….
*flips a table for them too* 🙁
#MoreBOOMLessGloomNo I’m not going to survive this. I’m really not. I’m already giggly and hugging random objects. Who knew a TV show could make someone so happy? #ObviousONCEBurnIsObvious Why is no one else up yet?
I’m awake but remember I’m still posting and reacting from my grave so you should expect delayed reactions from me for a while, LOL 😆
That said, I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU RG!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀
