They Just Don't Make Lil Good Trashy Movies Like That Anymore

they just don't make lil good trashy movies like that anymore

sometimes i remember how batshit bananas bonkers the Step Up franchise is and i have to sit down for several minutes in quiet contemplation

I want this on a T-shirt 😍

(and also printed and displayed everywhere like old school propaganda)

Oh, this is spot on 😅

Mia: How do people not swear??? Like where does their anger go?? How do they show their enthusiasm??? What if they stub their toe??? Like saying golly gosh isn't really going to cut it, Barbara.

Omg did people go so far? Pocahontas? At this point I'm going to laugh cause I don't want to cry 😂

Zuko is a great character with the best redemption arc, but once he is being shipped with Katara, he immediately becomes evil colonizer and both of them are being compared to this white guy and Pocahontas from Disney..

For me one of the biggest surprises is the fact that Woody was able to hide almost ALL of his charisma for Marty... like HOW 😅

marty is a brilliant character, woody's performance was amazing and rust wouldn't be as great of a character as he is if he did not have marty as his antithesis

To add other 2 cents to it, I personally don't like the situation you exposed especially because it takes away from Jay as his own character.

Hailey is a character that arrives when the show is already established, she's not one of the ogs, and she's clearly Erin's substitute.

But Jay... he was his own character before her... as any other character in the squad, we got a 360° portrait of him as a person, without taking away from the whole story and the unit itself. Even with Erin, he was not dependent from her.

With Hayley... he became the hot guy™️ with the hot girl™️, and I hardly dislike this, cause he had so much more potential (like @andgry4 said, it would have been nice to explore his gray areas and his moral compass more). He has been there ALL THE SEASONS, he could have been developed so much more instead of becoming half of a ship.

As for the actors, happy for them, but people need to learn how to tag shit here. No probs if he's your celebrity crush, just don't flood the Chicago PD tag.

*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. 🤷‍♀️
