I really didn't want to do this, but I'm annoyed right now.
I do not hate Martin. Not like you do. I'm a bit into season 3 rn, (don't worry, you can say what you want. I'm spoilered to death and back xD), and I haven't found anything hate worthy about him yet. I don't feel strongly about him.
That said, I am not so slowly, but all the more surely starting to hate him just because of the fact that every single time I try to find jonelias fics on ao3, I get jmart fics. The only way I can get around it is by blocking both the jmart and the martin blackwood tag! And even then! I want to read jonelias fics that have martin in them! I want him to suffer in his unrequited crush, I don't mind him!
But every time I fail to filter out these two tags, it's just 'Elias and Jon are I'm an abusive relationship. Luckily, here is Martin to save him!' 'Fantasy AU, Elias keeps Jon locked up and heavily abuses/tortures him. Here's Martin to the rescue!' 'Jon and Elias are in a relationship (that may or may not be abusive), but oh no! Jon's fallen in love with Martin! Good that Elias is such a jerk that he deserved that.' 'Elias fucking raped Jon'?!
I see a long fic with the jmart ship tag in 4th place, far behind jonelias? Doesn't matter. They're still endgame. I see a jonelias fic that's part of a series? Three fics later, the jonelias tag is gone bc Elias was... some flavour of evil and jmart is endgame.
It is so disgustingly annoying, and it is genuinely making me hate Martin. I am this close to writing a fic where Jmart are in an abusive relationship (you're giving me so much ammunition to work with there) and Elias is the one to save Jon, or maybe he's the one Jon falls in love and cheats with, idk yet...
(Sorry for the long ask. If I remember correctly from skimming your blog, you're not really a jonelias fan, so this may be completely uninteresting to you, but I just tried looking for fics again, and I got so angry that I needed to vent. I hope you don't mind 😅)
omg i knowwww and like on a similar vein to this like i’ve blocked the jmart tags and everything here because like i just don’t wanna see that but then so many people clog up random ships with those tags and somehow it’s STILL a problem i have to see 😭 like leave me alone bro stay in your lane 🥀
