Aroace thoughts/rants

Aroace problems #2

So I hate to word it like this (which is why it's not the title of this rant/ramble thing) but being aroace and the way my brain handles being aroace ruins shows for me.

Yeah. I'm gonna talk about Jatp again. I have issues okay. But I'm not  only gonna talk about Jatp. First I'll talk about the show the Flash and then Jatp. Sorry I always rant about Jatp on here I probably should detox completely from it it's just so hard because my favorite character is from that show, my favorite actor/music artist plays that character so he's connected to the show so it's really hard just to give up especially since this show basically did so much for me that without it either I wouldn't be here at all or I would be a completely different person.

Anyways the flash.

Loved season 1 and 2. 3 was really good but after that it became all about iris and Barry's love and I started hating iris and the show was constantly making me mad.

Now at this time I didn't know I was aroace, I think I barely knew I was asexual I don't really remember but I didn't know I hated it because of the romance I thought I just hated iris. And I do because she was the main one pushing their love story  but that's besides the point.

I went from love g the flash to ranting about it every single time I saw a new episode.

And now Jatp has become that. Except I've seen all the episodes already and it's more so how the promotion for the show, the fans, and the way the promotion and the fans and the marketing and all tje bts scenes focus mainly on the main ship changed my outlook of the show making me hate parts of the show I once thought was 100% flawless and amazing.

And the fact is I did not have a problem with juke (or willex but I still don't even have a huge problem with willex bc it's not as pushed so I'm chill with it) when I first saw it.

I went from "oh they're the main characters I guess so I guess the rule is they have to be in love." (Of course that's a silly rule, I was still under the spell of  amatonormativity and thinking the world revolves around romance)
And then I saw people saying things like "they're everything, I want love like that" and me being like "yeah I guess they're cute. I don't see anything wrong with them"
To "people ship Reggie and Luke? Well they're my favorite duo...so I guess that means I ship them?"
To "I'm aromantic. So I'm gonna headcanon my favorite character as aromantic (Reggie) and people talk about juke way too much what about all four of them they have a killer friendship, why is a lot of the merch only juke why are their 50 bts scene of the perfect harmony scene, like that's excessive and there's even more just juke bts beside perfect harmony so like what the fuck don't you know there's other things people want to see?"

Like as soon as I found out I was aroace and I know romance isn't like a rule or the norm, by brain is like "oh so we don't have to like it! I can hate it all I want now"

Like no you  no any brain. You're ruining the show for me.

And like maybe it's just bc I'm a spiteful person and I'll hate anything that I have a neutral opinion on at first but then feel like people are pushing it too much. Like I start hating it just to spite the fans or whatever.

I feel like I've ranted about something like this a million times by now and I'm sorry if I have and I'm sorry if you're annoyed by me complaining all the time or talking about Jatp or if I'm just like repeating the same things you don't have to read all of these if they're the same I don't mind if you do t want to read something or if you're annoyed

Anyways. I guess that's all for my emotional rant. I feel like it didn't really have a point and was all over so I'm sorry.

I hope you have a beautiful day/night and I'll see you on the next one, take care everyone 💚💜🫶🏻
