a show: *has a cool female protagonist*
me: nice
show: *introduces smirking obnoxious boy in the first 5 minutes who will be her love interest*
me: well it was good while it lasted
Lemme guess. If it was a smirking obnoxious female, it would be okay?
no it would be awesome because then it’d be a lesbian story
What if there was a show with a cool female protagonist that had a different ‘possible love interest’ in every other scene so you end up actually wondering who she is going to get with and she isn’t getting with any of them and the whole point of the show is to fuck with you that way the whole film?
Here’s a story idea. Cool girl meets two boys. One is nerdy and has a huge crush on her and the other is indifferent. she meets awesome girl who ends up dating indifferent boy. Later awesome girl and indifferent boy break up and indifferent boy dates cool girl. Somewhere along the line, nerdy boy ends up dating a sweet girl they find and cool girl and indifferent boy have a fight and break up. Cool girl then goes through serious trauma and writes to awesome girl. They hang out more often and eventually get together so nerdy guy and sweet girl are a thing and cool girl and awesome girl go on a vacation to the spirit world while indifferent boy goes back to pro bending or whatever.
