As someone who’s rewatched the X&Y anime recently, the second criticism of her is just wrong… like, straight up, there is so much more to her character than just her crush on Ash, which isn’t even the most prominent thing about her character from my experience
As someone who does a lot of shipping himself, shipping should be a way to express yourself and your love for characters, it’s a way to dream for something, even if it’s inconsequential. But attacking innocent people & characters and hating everything else over it, and trying to make everyone else feel about how they feel? I’ve gotta say, that’s about as sad as it gets
Is it a pretty dumb reason? Yeah, in my opinion it kinda is, but it’s a reason nonetheless
Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support.
I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized.
he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that.
he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened.
he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence.
i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me
i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction.
after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly.
things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it.
we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe …
our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far?
this has upset me so much its hard to even function.
The main reason people hate in Serena is because of her shipping with Ash
That’s all from me, tootles
While I’m not a fan of her becoming a coordinator at the end of the series, it’s clear her whole character isn’t just being an Ash simp, anyone who’s actually watched the anime and payed attention can tell you that for a fact
Do opposites attract? How often do you see weird couples like a guy/girl dating someone who is boring with no sense of humor ?
As for the shipping controversy… honestly, these people just need to touch some grass, it literally boils down to that. I get it, y’all prefer Ash with someone else or something, I for one like the shipping between him and Lillie better, but those of us who actually have lives know how innately stupid arguing over, literally, which two fictional characters should date truly is. Seriously, whoever wastes their time arguing over that is a professional tenth state of the USA
Serena did want to see Ash again, but she also essentially used her desire for a Pokémon journey as an excuse to get out of the house. Her mom’s great but she doesn’t want to become a Ryhorn racer, she wants to follow her own path, which led to her becoming a showcase performer instead
Other girls Ash had traveled with did show hints to liking him, and have been shipped with the guy because they think they’d be a good couple, but Serena’s by far the most obvious about her feelings towards Ash. The only other characters I can think of who have a crush on Ash as obviously as Serena are Annabel from the battle frontier and that one girl with the fire Pokémon
What are some mind-blowing facts about Michael Jackson?
Some fans are jealous that Ash and Serena is the most likely ship to become canon (if that ever happens), some fans think she’s just a bland character and that her crush on Ash is all there is to her, and some fans just think Ash doesn’t need a lover (which I mean, sure, whatever floats your boat). Either way, this does seem to be the biggest source of hate on Serena
Well, that’s pretty much my discussion on why people hate Serena… and how stupid the shipping controversy is, get over it
