[Image ID: eight gifs of Jude Kinkade and Zero from Hit The Floor episode 3.10, "Possession." They are in Jude's bedroom, after Zero explains why he won't reach out to his sister. They are sitting together on the bench at the end of the bed:

GIF 1: Zero shrugging as he explains why he's okay if he doesn't reach out to Laura, saying, "Besides...I realized...I already have a family." Jude turns his head to look at him.

GIF 2: Zero looking affectionately at Jude as a small smile flits across his face. He says, "You." The shot shifts to Jude, who looks at Zero in surprise.

GIF 3: Zero holding up a key that he digs out of his pocket, staring at it as he says, "This is the house I grew up in. It still has the sledgehammer I put in the wall. I bought it." Jude looks at the key with him.

GIF 4: A shot of Zero looking at the key, then back up at Jude as he continues to explain, "I put it under both our names. I figured we could renovate it and make that neighborhood the new place to be...if you want." Jude straightens as he inhales, Zero's words beginning to sink in.

GIF 5: Jude looking at the key, laughing incredulously and shaking his head as if Zero even needs to ask, looking back at his boyfriend to say, "Of course I want, stupid." with a happy expression.

GIF 6: Jude leaning forward to kiss Zero, holding him in place with a hand on his jaw. The shot pans to show them as they separate slowly, Zero looking slightly dazed.

GIF 7: Zero smiling as Jude takes the key from him, looking down at it.

GIF 8: Zero tugging Jude into his side as Jude's smile widens as he stares down at the key. Zero kisses the top of his head as his arm slings around Jude's neck.

ADAM SENN and BRENT ANTONELLO in HIT THE FLOOR 2.12 // 3.04

[oh-surprise-its-me]

Alex getting so drunk after finals that he confesses that he loved and watched all of hit the floor, then explaining it all to Henry who has been mostly ignoring him and doing a puzzle just for Alex to go “and then they broke up” and Henry goes “they WHAT”

*later that night in bed*

“Shit babe, Zero too. I think I’ve always liked blondes.”

“Love of my life. Alex. The man I will marry. If you don’t stop realizing how many blonde men you’ve wanted to fuck while I’m trying to sleep I will tape your mouth closed.”

(this is even more niche then my Skam idea)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel that people who say stuff like this are straight up lying? Or is there some important piece of information I'm missing?

It's unbelievable to me that some people would like that non-canon ships like Stucky or any other non-canon ships paved the way for representation in modern media. Unbelievable.

Destiel, maybe, because of how big the fandom is/was but even Supernatural and even Destiel started out small and got popular because of the fandom and the ship(s).

I feel like people who saying they started shipping non-canon couples because their wasn't any LGBT representation in the media at the time aren't being genuine. I say that because before joining Tumblr, I didn't even know shipping non-canon couples was a thing (I had heard of Destiel, but it was more of a concept to me, even though I unironically watched SPN).

I feel that was they mean is that there wasn't any representation in popular shows or maybe they mean they weren't enough main characters. But otherwise there was!!!

These are just the one I can think of on the top of my head, but there are much more and there is en more if you go outside of the US. And these are just the shows.

If we add the movies... well!!!

You want romance with a Happy Ending?

You want Murder Mystery?

You want Drama?

There are so many many more and, yes these weren't blockbusters but it's not "no représentation and Stucky and Destiel were the only options"

Grey's Anatomy started out at the exact same time as Supernatural and now has over a dozen canon LGBT characters and half of them are/were main characters (Callie, Arizona, Amelia, Teddy, Yasuda, Helm)

When I joined Tumblr, I never even for a minute thought shipping was about representation or activism because there were so many shows and movies I knew but they were barely talked about on here.

Not criticizing ships by any means but I feel like people are trying to pretend that shipping is something it isn't.

In my humble opinion, non-canon ships were never about representation. Shipping was just shipping

I wasn't on Tumblr at the time, but I was on Youtube (old school) and to me, the people who were doing edits of the canon ships, in shows and movies were the real heroes.

Some people might say : "but those characters are side characters or weren't in major blockbusters/popular shows".

But fandoms could have decided to make them more popular if they wanted. Because believe it or not, Supernatural was a niche show at the beginning and I don't think it would have been as popular or gotten as many seasons without the shippers. They chose to make the non-canon couple (at the time) popular. So the fans could have done the same with shows that have canon LGBT characters But they didn't, they focused on non-canon couples.

I have no problem with shipping non-canon couples at all, I do it too, but I'm really surprised by people who want to make it seem like it's some kind of activism... It's not.

And I know there wasn't enough representation that's true, but why focus your energy on shows with absolutely no canon LGBT characters and pretend it's activism??

You guys could have had Noah's arc or Hit the Floor renewed and you focused your energy on Marvel characters.

And some people will say they ship Destiel anyway because they want fantasy and paranormal... Well does nobody remember Dante's Cove? Was it a fever dream😂? I admit the writing was bad, but have you seen the writing in Supernatural (I say this as a SPN fan)???

And I know some people will say they ship Marvel characters because they have a bigger audience and there were no canon Queer characters in blockbusters, but I feel like that a lie too because when there were indeed Queer characters in those blockbusters, they were ignored as well. Like in the Eternals.

Fandoms can be so powerful when they want to...they can make or break a movie, so acting like the focus on non canon couples was the only option surprises me.

Shipping is just about shipping. It's a hobby.

Stucky or any non-canon Marvel ship isn't "History", it's just a ship.

Last exemple: Let's take a look at 2 popular couples from the same franchise: 9-1-1 and 911: Lone Star. Only one of the couples in canon, but Can you Guess which one is more popular on Ao3 and on Tumblr ?

The non-canon couple!

Almost 3 Times as much fics for Buddie than TK x Carlos who are an actualcouple and even got married!

Shipping non-canon couples isn't about representation but about finding a story to fantasize about, which isn't bad itself but it's bad when you pretend shipping is something it isn't?

TL:DR: Shipping non-canon couples isn't activism imo.

I would be happy to hear tour thoughts because as I said, I only joined Tumblr later so I don't have all the info.

[Image ID: nine gifs of Jude and Zero from Hit The Floor episode 3.04, "Good D." They are in the arena parking lot, after Zero pushes Jude to know why he's treating him like a stranger.:

GIF 1: Zero's confession bursting out of him as Jude reaches for his car door. The text reads, "I love you."

GIF 2: Jude leaning back, looking at Zero with surprise, and thinly-veiled hope as his mouth twitches into a smile.

GIF 3: Zero collecting himself, closing his eyes for a second before looking back at Jude with a fond, determined look in his eye as he says, "I...I love you, stupid."

GIF 4: Jude looking at Zero with barely restrained shock, a little half-smile flitting at his mouth before he holds his head up and says, "I love you, too."

GIF 5: Zero's smile of wonder widening as he hears Jude's own love confession.

GIF 6: Jude shaking his head as he says, "And even still, it doesn't matter. Love isn't enough. I need someone I can actually be with like a normal person. Someone who's able to be there for me in every way."

GIF 7: Jude asking Zero in a pleading tone, hope shining in his eyes, "Can you? Can you do that?"

GIF 8: Zero looking away from Jude as he thinks over it, shaking his head slightly as he rolls his bottom lip into his mouth, then says, "No."

GIF 9: Jude's expression pinching tight, closed off to Zero as he purses his lips, then drops his eyes.

When did Brent Antonello go from looking like sweet, bumbling Jude to looking like the sort of guy you'd never take home to your parents 🤣
