I just don't understand why bella thorne wanted to die in her boyfriend's arms on a boat?? Like, yeah I wanna traumatise my boyfriend for life and let him hold my dying body and then have to stare at it while he rows that boat back to the shore!!

so i’m an actual teenage girl with a terminal illness and i absolutely hate tfios because every other person associates me with it. one time, i shared my diagnosis to someone and she had the audacity to tell me that “maybe i’ll find an augustus waters out there”. like, girl??? imma focus on not dying first??? lmao

the irony of cremating the girl who died because she's allergic to the sun is absolutely amazing.

It’s crazy how “dying/sick teenagers” became its own genre of movies & books

I'm so tired of people commercializing and romanticizing terminal illnesses. If my partner was going to die eventually I'd be torn, It wouldnt be romantic, it wouldnt be hot, it would be horrifying. Like if your family members got cancer you dont think "Wow! That's so romantic".

people should be ashamed of the harassment they sent caleb over this, it’s clearly a critique of the fetishisation of disability and illness in media post the fault in our stars and also the over-saturation of said media. he isn’t being ableist in any way...

The "dying cute girl" genre is so bizarre. I think Five Feet Apart is where it really hit it's peak annoyance for me with the whole "take one foot back" thing, being irresponsible with your health and literally putting your life in danger for the sake of flowery sounding sentimentality is not cute, it's inane on top of being a dangerous attitude to promote to its audience of pre teens and early teenagers. I'm not gonna say what someone can and cannot write, you can totally write a good romance story involving a dying person, it's just that particular genre is super prone to insane childish concepts of love and also plays into that whole weird "forever young" romanticizing of dying young.

honestly what irks me the most about these kinds of movies is the overwhelming implication that living with a chronic illness or disability isnt "really living" and that its better to die than to live disabled. it's incredibly frustrating as a disabled person to see these narratives paraded around by abled people.

Why couldn't Fault in the Stars just have been a mother-daughter story... Laura Dern's chiropractor deserves a raise because her shoulders must be ACHING from carrying that movie

Them kissing in Anne Franks home has the same energy as Justin Bieber saying she would've been a belieber 💀💀💀

... They are most definitely gonna make a romantic movie about someone dying from COVID 😣

As a disabled person I appreciate Caleb understanding that disabled people DONT want movies about how if someone is sick their life should revolve around it and if you’re lucky some guy might find your sick super sexy.

Like eww.

When my boyfriend got diagnosed with cancer it wasn't cute. It was incredibly terrifying and we're glad it's gone now and he'll be okay. It's not romantic at all.

The fact that he just keeps calling them “the white guy” because they are all literally the same in these movies.

Why is no one talking about "A Walk To Remember" thats literally what all these movies are based off!!

I literally never even noticed how many movies like that there were...

New concept: Give the lovers disabilities instead of death. Disabled people who love each other should be more normalized than dying people falling in love. But that's just my opinion

and when the world needed him the most, he disappeared

The next movie like this is going to have teenagers with covid. They need to socially distance but they can't be apart. A whole subplot of their masks getting in the way of them kissing.
