And that's fine - it's not up to me to dictate how they ship but it bothers me how little rob is considered. I like Dad!Robert. I like seeing him step up. I like seeing him happy with his boy. I don't want to see him broken and at rock bottom - how much redemption does one man need? And Aaron threw a wrench at Roberts head - no one was calling on him to be redeemed for attempted murder - agh sorry am bitter, will stop ranting now!
I have similar opinions - at least I think they seem similar. Like many people I have lost my love for Robron. It is still there but very dimmed. But it is not because of Robert's action (terrible though some of them have been) but because this SL has really underlined the blatant hypocrisy towards his character in the Robron fandom. Roberts entire worth is supposedly bound up in Aaron. That's all he is worth - outside of that, a lot of folk don't care. (1/2)
well, at least we can all agree on the fact that the whites are trash and they need to leave immediately*
i find it telling how people are talking as if i’m attacking robron? i’m really not! all i’ve said is that robert isn’t just half of a ship?? i’ve said this while they were married, i’ve said this before they got together and i’m still saying it but it’s only now that there is some sort of focus on robert that people seem to have a problem with it.
But Emmerdale is making this storyline about Robron too, not just Robert, so is it really that weird that people still focus on Robron as well?
as well, maybe (though i don’t see how they’ve made seb about robron but anyway) but it’s not as well. robert’s life has been an afterthought for a long time, to the fans, to the show - i’m just clinging on to any hope that they’ll give us something with this seb storyline, is that so bad?
👏👏👏👏👏 that’s all I have to say about your view on Robert. Very well said. I wish your sentiments were more widespread - it would make it this fandom easier to tolerate.
i can’t believe someone actually agrees with me!
all i want is for robert to be happy ok
to the anons asking me about robron:
i have very complicated feelings about robron and i don’t even know how i’d even begin to answer your questions.
but also, some people have been introduced to these characters and remain here through and for robron, and that's fine?? some people prefer them together, involved with each other rather than the alternative and that's just how it is? you can't really tell them not to
i’m not begrudging them that??? they can be together and they will be together clearly, but people forget that there are two characters in this ship.
aaron has had his own storylines - he’s had the abuse sl, he’s had liv coming in, he’s had the prison sl, he’s had other little ones here and there and while robert’s been involved in some of those (heavily in some cases) no one was screaming but WHAT ABOUT ROBERT???
robert finally gets a storyline and while it’s dumb and repetitive, all people care about is the impact it will have on robron.
don’t we get an insight to robert’s mental health? bc clearly he’s got issues. don’t we get to explore his past. (sorry but a few lines about jack in ssw a year ago and a line or two by his grave is hardly that)
it’s just ---but aaron -
nah, robert’s finally got a storyline and as painful as it is to watch sometimes, it’s a damn good thing that ed have given us soMETHING else of robert than his relationship with aaron.
yeah he deserved better but it’s been 3 years and this is the most focus he’s had a i have little hope for anything more.
robert is definitely interesting with other characters than just aaron but fact of the matter is he's boring atm, him and seb are boring, his scenes with rebecca/the whites are boring.. it's not our fault, that's how it is
i don’t find robert and seb boring but fine, whatever, that wasn’t my point. it’s just people only seem to care about robert when he’s with aaron and then you’ve got those who hate robert with everything they’ve got (idc about that, you do you) but then they’re like ROBRON!!11!! pretty sure you’re supposed to like both members of a ship even if you do have favourites.
this sl has been exhaustING and i hate the way that they’ve done things and i hate the way that seb has become robron fans number one enemy (he’s a fucking baby guys).
daddy rob is the only thing keeping me watching this shit tbh :-)
robert is not only interesting when he’s with aaron
robert is his own character
robert’s interactions with other characters other than aaron are ALSO interesting
robert and his son have the makings of an interesting storyline (forget the whites a sec)
robert has always been more than robron and these past few weeks since seb is proving it
pls stop bringing aaron in to everything robert is about because aaron might be the love of his life, but he isn’t all that robert is.
hi i miss some of you guys immensely
i’ve been popping on here now and then to see what’s going on
and it kinda sux that i’m here to post something like this but
it make me so sad that there are people who hate on seb :( he’s literally an innocent baby and i know some of y’all don’t want robert to be his dad (i on the other hand will be ready and willing to chop someone’s hands off is this is the case) but i rly didn’t want to come on here and see negative stuff about the purest thing on ed rn. it makes me so sad :(
yooo
do u guys even remember me ?
We've never spoken much but I just wanted to let you know that I've sorely felt your absence last few weeks. I have to admit I've lowered my standards because, to be honest, my love for Robert is bigger than my need for a high quality drama but I've yet to find a way to cope with so many valuable people in the fandom walking away :(
you don’t know how much this means to me. also, you should totally come in and say hi more often!!
i’m finding it hard to enjoy any moment with robert in it tbh. today i was bitter to the point where i was questioning my inability to take any joy from the good moments. i was like ‘robert is happy. why can’t you be happy??’
i love robert but i won’t walk away until he’s either gone, or they’ve ruined him beyond recognition.
they say he’s on the road to redemption (he’d already done that before as far i was concerned). maybe once aaron finds out/ forgives him then i’ll feel different. i’m not sure what reason or excuse ed will find to bring them together again, and i’m sure it won’t be good enough because i have oh so little faith (and really? i’m not sure i myself could understand why aaron would ever do such a thing as to forgive him), but maybe somewhere along the line i’ll find it in myself to enjoy my favourite son, my favourite couple again.
and jsyk, i wouldn’t say you’re lowering your standards at all. your love for robert means you still have faith. i’m still clinging on to the last of mine.
I've not been on here for a while and you can probably guess why. I still love Robert. I will always love Robert and tbh, I couldn't bare to see his character being put through another cycle of shitty writing and plots. Unlike some of the others, this won't be as easily forgotten especially when there's a baby involved. I am holding out on some kind of redemption but it's still hard. I want this fixed. And I want it quick. Today's where it all begins again. Another cycle. Let's brace ourselves.
me as a superhero
bad guy: its so cute how u think u can stop me me: [blushes] r-really..?
