(I haaaaaaate cast-aside wives. I haaaaaaaaate them. It's not that I want the husband to be unhappy forever--I'm super psyched for Goldnose to find true love--but let's let Mrs. Goldnose have some happiness too please.)
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!
The movie "Deadpool," which I don't know whether you've seen, is a pretty funny movie with a male-female lead couple. Wade Wilson/Deadpool has been established in the comics as pansexual (I only learned that term recently--it seems to be like bisexual, only more inclusive, correct me if I'm wrong). Apparently he might have a boyfriend if they make a sequel.
There's a post going around Tumblr which says, "I want Deadpool to have a boyfriend but not at the cost of Vanessa's life." That's where I stand, too. I enjoy watching heroes be homoerotic as much as anyone I know, but there has to be a better way to do it than killing off The Girl to make room for my preferred ship. (Vanessa from "Deadpool" is a reasonably interesting/complex person as superhero movie girlfriends go, so it would particularly hurt to see the screenwriters just rub her out.)
There are all sorts of solutions for people like Offbrand Bond/Goldnose and Deadpool/potential future boyfriend. Relationship issues + ill-timed infidelities + actually still caring about each other + taking responsibility for one's own mistakes can = better outcomes than killing off Mrs. Goldnose or banishing her to evil-antagonist-land for good.
They can have a threesome or big poly family. They can not have a threesome but Offbrand Bond and Mrs. Goldnose can actually get to like and respect each other. They can have a sequel where Mrs. Goldnose joins the Soviets and then gets the chance to kill them both and passes it up, whereupon they all reconsider their choices.
As for "Hamilton" a friend made me listen to the whole thing recently. I liked it, but I don't see why so many people are acting like it's the most mind-blowing thing ever. I feel like an ordinary Dutch woman watching tulipomania happen: baffled and a little bit left out. Well, if folks are enjoying themselves, good for them!
