I'm so tired of people forgetting this is a conversation in the canon series between Travis and Katelyn. I copied this down exactly by the word,
" - tired of it Katelyn. Katelyn I want to talk to you like a person, not being yelled at or hit - that's not okay! If you aren't going to grant me the respect of talking this out, then I don't.. know if I want to get more involved."
"Travis, I just can't believe you didn't think about me, the last person who never thought about me was -"
"Your mom, I know - but, Katelyn that happened a long time ago. You can't be like this and expect to be happy with someone, how long are you gonna be miserable? Please, talk to me-"
"What? What do you want me to say? Maybe I wanna be miserable!-"
"Fine. Enjoy your cruise, I'll be waiting if you wanna talk again."
But yeah, keep going saying Katelyn did nothing wrong. Even though she had a whole scene calling out her behavior, and another one calling out her unhealthy behaviors in the college series, and she went through a recovery period after s2 and she actually kinda mentions it herself when crying over Travis in s6 when she thought he was dead.
I hate Travlyn, I really do. Because they weren't good together, Travis was terrible with basic boundaries when he was first introduced, and Katelyn was a very aggressive and blatantly abusive character, this was especially towards each other. Travlyn shouldn't have been a ship.
But they went through changes and both got better, and I'll honestly be the first to defend that for them both even though my dislike of Katelyn is very strong.
You can't just say Katelyn did nothing wrong, because the show itself disagrees with you. They both did things wrong.
She was abusive towards her friends, and the quoted scene is literally what starts her recovery we see in the third season. While Travis cut his bad behavior in the end of the first season, but sure "he's a freak" in the entire series.
And sure, "Katelyn is unproblematic" in the entire series.
Please, tell me which version of MyStreet you were watching? Clearly it's not the same one I did.

I am THE travlyn hater, THE katelyn hater
But if one more person misunderstands the recovery arc Katelyn went through in canon I'm gonna become her biggest fucking defender and lover.
She was toxic, it's said by Travis and Luca, she has anger issues and she has trauma, these things made her abusive towards certain people and that was not alright. This is directly canon, and she actually improves these things. She gets better, but you absolutely cannot say it was never a thing when the show itself will disagree with you.
She stops hitting, she stops yelling, she actively improves herself over time. She was toxic, but she grows into a better person and drops those behaviors.
It's not wrong to say that she was abusive, when she was.
Her and Travis both improve, but they were BOTH not great at the start. Travis started losing his issues with not taking the rejection and overall being a creep by the end on s1, while Katelyn had her changes after being called out in s2
I hate travlyn, but Travis defending himself from being hit and yelled at is one of the best scenes in the early seasons in my opinion, and Katelyns recovery and redemption from that point forward is actually one of the best parts of the series in my opinion as well despite my disliking of Katelyn as a character. Stop blatantly ignoring canon in favor of defending your favorite characters, bro. You can defend Katelyn all you want, but you gotta recognize the entire character and her biggest arc in the entire series man.....

The best thing about having the travlyn tag blocked is that we can click show post whenever someone who isn't triggered by it is fronting, like, idk I'm just happy with the blocked tags thing function on tumblr
Like. Our Travis introject would be uncomfortable looking through the ship tag but our Katelyn is chill with it and it's nice to have that option instead of blocked or not blocked
Anyways uhhh. I have no idea who's fronting but it feels vaguely like Dante which definitely explains the over emotional and weird protective thing ive got going on over our Trav, so uh yeah basically I just wanted to thank our mutuals who cw/tw tag for travlyn and such, it means a lot lol
