*Long Sigh*

TL;DR - Why do Tracy (Hailey) and Jesse (Jay) from Chicago PD get so much attention for no reason? What’s the matter with other characters/actors?

Listen guys, I get it. I understand. Y’all love Tracy and Jesse. But come on - one post on Instagram and I see it several times?

It isn’t right that I get more posts about Jesse, Tracy, Jay, Hailey or Upstead (and whatever their ship name is for their actors) in general than for things I actually care about in Chicago PD. I am glad they’re living life and having fun and being friends or whatever they decide but I just don’t understand the hype.

Shipping characters is great. Actors, alright, as long as it’s not pushed onto them or pressuring them in any way. But I mean… where’s the love for everyone else? I rarely see appreciation posts for Elias Koteas (Al), Jon Seda (Antonio), Patrick John Flueger (Adam), Marina Squerciati (Kim), LaRoyce Hawkins (Kevin), Amy Morton (Trudy) or any of the other actors/characters aside from Jason Beghe/Hank Voight. Everything else under the Chicago PD tag is Jay/Hailey stuff…

I guess I’m just thinking it’s not fair that Jay/Hailey get all of this attention when we haven’t even gotten a gif set of the S11 finale with Hank and Al (except when I asked myself and @andgry4 made me a very beautiful one). But I had to ask!!! Everyone just cared about Tracy’s departure from the show and said it wasn’t enough when the whole episode was about her. :/

The show is about Hank and always has been. He’s the main character, period. How does everyone hate him? I love his complex character. Not to mention how much better and complex his character is than anyone in Chicago Fire. (Not bashing the actors, but the characters themselves.)

I personally never cared for Hailey and I understand loving one character a lot, but when Tracy/Jesse post something on Instagram, it’s a big thing? Why? Who cares? And why do I have to see it four times per day with 0 other posts about anything else PD under the Chicago PD tag? (The Instagram post wasn’t even about Chicago PD, they weren’t on set or anything, so why tag it that??)

I guess I’m just wondering what makes them so special over anyone else from the show? :/ It is obnoxious that so many people love them so much and “aren’t watching anymore” or are “finally free” because Tracy and Jesse left. If you didn’t like the show, why watch in the first place? I like Jon Seda, but I only watched one season of La Brea because it got kinda boring to me. I wasn’t “finally free” of it, I just stopped watching - simple as that. If you don’t like the show, quit watching. I don’t care who’s on it. It could be my favorite actor and yet if it wasn’t interesting, I wouldn’t watch it…

It’s incomprehensible to me why they’re so special when they’re not even on the show anymore anyways… I get the fanfics and don’t mind them. But things like this? One post on Instagram that they’re being friends? Crazy how much attention the fandom gives to this instead of anything else Chicago PD related. 🤷‍♀️

Christmas Kisses: A Zodiac Shifters Anthology by Amy Lee Burgess, Dominique Eastwick, Jennifer Hilt, Rosalie Redd, Bethany Shaw and Melissa Snark.

This is a collection of short stories where romance in the holiday season is the name of the game, but nothing is ever smooth sailing in the shifter communities and these stories show you all about how christmas time and love can conquer all, with something for everyone within.

Under The Mistletoe by Amy Lee Burgess is alll about the christmas party that the dragon shifters of Zodiac Mountain throw each year, it is always the same, nobody talks to anyone if they are not in the same clan, they separate themselves off and just ignore everyone else, but this year will be different because a witch named Marley has a plan to get them talking, all it needs is some mistletoe, but will it work, or will everyone come to blows at her audacity, especially her friend Emily and her forbidden love Orlando?

Through The Blizzard by Dominique Eastwick is centered around Oakley, a snow leopard shifter who was exiled from his pack, even by his mate, but he has built up his life how he wants it, despite all of that, by helping those from all the Zodiac packs in their time of need, up in the mountains of Wyoming. Meanwhile, his mate Nova has spent her life in aa naive haze, but when her mate is framed for a crime, she believes in his guilt, that is until she finds out what really happened when a new Prime of the pack asks her to go bring him home, but will she be able to brave the storm which is brewing in the mountains and bring her mate home, or will he turn his back on her, like she did to him?

What A Scottish Shifter Wants by Jennifer Hilt is set in Icy Cap, Alaska where Angus McGowan, a commitment phobic wolf shifter is travelling, but when he meets Bree, an Amazonian biologist, they indulge in a no strings attached fling, however, he isn't happy about her not using contraception and being willing to raise a child if one is produced, so when he leaves, she gives him a protection amulet. As he continues his travels, he encounters a witch who lets her jealously loose, cursing Angus and causing him to lose his memory and amulet, but will be ever find Bree again, or will he be lost to the curse forever?

All I Want For Christmas by Bethany Shaw is all about Santiago Ferdinand, a phoenix shifter PI and his employee Cassidy Clark, he hired her for her skills, but kept her on because of his attraction, even forgiving her when she is a little late for work, but she is also attracted to him, but when they let their feelings air, Cassidy realises that she might be a little in over her head when a group of Lycanthropes he has been investigating attack her, he knows she need to know the truth, but can she handle it, or will she run from him?

A Very Foxy Christmas by Melissa Snark is about two theives and a heist which goes wrong, but it also goes a little right with plenty of humour and plenty of steamy action, this is a saucy holiday romance.
