It Was Queerbait, Actually (A Repository)

It was queerbait, actually (A repository)

(It's almost three am but I am fuming, I've been collecting these for a while, my evidence, I WILL write a detailed post about this in a few days but I wanted to leave this here in case anyone else wanted to see how fucking deep this goes)

HYPOTESIS: Nandermo is textbook queerbaiting, not in spite the characters being queer but BECAUSE of it. The ship was used deliberately by the writers, the actors and the marketing in order to bring lgbt viewership to the show with NO intention on ever delivering on their promise.

Also the show presented itself as queer, marketed itself as queer and went to win GLAAD awards two years in a row then proceded to have no m/m or f/f couples for SIX seasons. Their queer rep were just jokes.

WHAT'S QUEERBAITING:

(I hate that I have to use wikipedia and dictionary.com but the actual articles about it are behind paywalls and I am poor)

Okay on to WWDITS

Let's talk marketing:

These are from season 3, 4, 5 and 6

Season five:

The show is over, it had six seasons, where were my m/m or f/f couples? Because I sure as hell didn't see one apart from the one episode with Freddie, that's it, that's all we got. Apart from that it was just jokes.

But that's not about nandermo, you say, it's just about queerness, then what about this: FUCKING HEAVY HANDED NANDERMO MARKETING FOR YEARS:

Rewatching found and I got thoughts

I'm leaning more into my trents dad is sirs dad theory

Also something not a theory but a bit I started with a friend is suggesting Gabi should have just gone outside when he escaped with a book and a case file and called for him like a dog. He would have come back just throw in a couple I need yous and we are partners and he would have come back like a lost puppy and she could have chained him up. Me and said friend may have started saying "come here sir" like you would call a dog whenever they were trying to find him.

The final thought we had is the headshot photo they used in the press conferences like who took it. Every other time it's the age progression photo and the photo was what he looked like outside the basement. Probably just a plot hole but me and my friend decided for cannon sake Gabi did a photoshoot with sir after she shaved him.

i think we often get caught in the silliness of the show and forget how deep it actually is. yes it’s a stupid lil show about firefighters and their emergencies, but it’s also about a kind soldier with ptsd who doesn’t know how to love himself, but never once stopped trying, and a lost boy who became a lost man, but eventually found home and himself, and an alcoholic who’s still learning to forgive himself but doubles as a father figure to everyone around him, and a woman who lost everything, even her fiancé, but managed to build herself up from the ground, and a man who was forced to say goodbye to the one brother he had, but trusted himself enough to earn the life said brother would’ve wanted for him, and a woman who had to fight thrice as hard to become who she wanted to be, just because of who she was inside and out, and about a woman who was taught she didn’t matter, but believed in real love enough to try again. their stories are blended into the fun of it all. but they are bright enough to shine above.

Lmao how are there people who watch Found on NBC, a show largely centered on the fucked up relationship between a woman and her kidnapper, that are shocked people ship it. Like the premise of the show is the fucked up intimacy and simultaneous disgust between them, and you, a person with a brain, are shocked that people are invested in that relationship.

I think i spend so much time in the iwtv fandom where the conversation of "enjoying fiction is not an endorsement of behavior irl" has already been had a million times that I forget most people when it comes to shipping have the mind of like, a 12 year old who hasn't learned the nuances of fiction portraying unhealthy dynamics.

Sir is crashing the fuck out and I'm here for it. I know it shouldn't be but it is funny as shit watching him crash out.

Okay might be completely wrong here but I think it may actually be Jamie and his father took him.

1. The father didn't seem that upset about his son going missing

2. He would have had access to the train toy and would have known it was one of Jamie's favorite toys

3. Jamie doesn't want to see his father

4. Jamie isn't telling Margaret what happend because it's his father I think both for her and for his sake

5. The father ends up with the other kids as well because of how distraught Margaret becomes so no reason to take them

I could be completely wrong about him being really Jamie but I'm starting get the feeling it might actually be because how everyone is doubting it hell even Margaret is starting to get there. If I am wrong Jamie is definitely an Evens.
