Most other fandoms when confronted with the bad things the main character character did: *makes excuses, tries to downplay it, pretends it didn’t happen*
Worm fans when confronted with the bad things Taylor did: “Haha, yeah she did.”
And You know what? You know what, fuck it, the more I think about it, and the more I reread the relevant passages, the more I like Brian and Taylor as a couple. It’s cute. It’s dysfunctional. It’s doomed. It’s buoyed on a wave of mindless teenaged horomones that segues into patently unstable trauma-bonding that folds in a month. Moreover Taylor’s physical and emotional attraction to Grue read as extremely believable and authentic to me, and while there is absolutely no way she’s straight there’s also no way that she isn’t attracted to men, either. Show of hands if you like the main canonical romantic pairing of Worm on it’s face and wished people would engage with it more in fan works instead of treating it as a speedbump on the way to pairing her with, geez, literally every other single person in the principle cast, the whole ancillary cast, about a third of the background characters and, god help us, Greg.
hey gang! i commissioned an artist (@chroma-imp) to draw our girl Tay Tay. they were super amazing throughout the whole thing & I’m really glad i got to add to the total amount of art containing her
