Oh fandom, why must you be so high-strung about this stuff?

[timepiececlock]

Zutara fandom, you know I love you. So why do make me smack my forehead? WHY?

I can't believe that so many people are a) wrapped up in the idea that every on-screen relationship is written to be an epic saga in the making, and b) having been denied Zutara so far, are now actually blaming the Mai/Zuko ship as being "badly written" because it's not epic so far.

OF COURSE IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE. It's supposed to be awkward, and annoying, and frustrating, and cutesy, and involve lots of macking.

Which means its being written fine, you just want so badly to hate it that you're trying to read too deeply into it.

The utter irony of all this is that the OP was on fandom_wank about a month ago in part of a dispute in which she was complaining about people posting about things like this too often. I HELPED PUT TOGETHER THE REPORT. IT WAS SO PAINFUL TO SEE THIS POST.

*shakes her head, reads through the comments looking for spoilers, sends it to the dark recesses of Bad Fandom in her mind*
