All my little shipper heart
wants is a single television show couple that I love where cheating isn’t involved. I mean really. I know I actually have very little right to
complain because I have a fascination with writing stories that revolve around
cheating, seconded only by stories that revolve around twins. But I feel like
it’s getting extremely—well, depressing to be perfectly frank. Almost every couple that I’ve ever liked on
TV, if they got together in canon and on screen, inevitably there is a cheating
scandal of one form or the other. It’s a good go-to storyline that can mess
things up for weeks to come. I guess I
get that. But doesn’t anyone stay true to their significant others anymore?
Aren’t they’re any more good people in the world? Or good characters on
television? I guess that would be the
better question to ask.
Really, I think what makes
me so angry is the break of previously formed characteristics for some of the
characters. Characters who have been cheated on before, or characters who have
previously spoken out against cheating are suddenly willfully and readily
cheating on their significant others. Not
the hanging out with someone they find attractive and kiss them and then feel
guilty and run away or any of that nonsense. No, they are going out with
someone with the knowledge that it might be cheating and sometimes with the intent of cheating. It’s mindboggling. I would say it’s poor writing, but I know
people who have done similar things in similar situations, so I know it’s
realistic. I just don’t get it.
And, you know, I just think
I might be okay with that.
