Never forget that Misha loves Vicki

December 14, 2011

I see a lot of ~~people~~ girls sobbing over Misha Collins in this post and saying things like I will never find a guy this good, brb crying and buying 20 cats single forever. And I just want to point something out: you know people who talk trash about Vicki Vantoch and say she’s not that pretty? They’re right:

Don’t get me wrong, I think she’s fucking hot, and certainly not unattractive by conventional standards. But she’s not beautiful on the level of Danneel Ackles or Milla Jovovich. She’s not a model- or actress-type. She doesn’t have flawless skin or Repunzel hair and she wears glasses, surely the archetypal signifier of a “plain woman.” And she landed Misha Collins, and I have absolutely no doubt that he loves her immensely. Anyone who cries during a joke fake wedding is in love.

They renewed their vows in drag at Albertson’s and Misha still cried. Heck, he can’t even tell their engagement story without tearing up. He’s been with her since he was seventeen, and he married her because he loves her, and he doesn’t look at her and think “Well that’s okay but I think I’ll trade up for a newer model. I can get a much nicer-looking woman now.”

I think women nowadays are conditioned to think that they have to be pretty and beautiful or no one will love them. That men are visual creatures, men are pigs, whatever, all they care about is looks, and it’s so not true. You don’t have to be beautiful to deserve love. Remember that Misha loves Vicki. He loves her because she’s smart, funny, unforgettable, and sexually adventurous, and because she’s nerdy and shy and quirky, because she’s a feminist and a writer and an intellectual, because she’ll dress up in drag and renew vows with him at Albertson’s. He loves her because she’s herself.

How many of Misha’s fans on Tumblr are like Vicki? I’m guessing something like 85%, and I hate it when I hear these amazing young women say that they don’t deserve a guy like Misha because they don’t think they’re attractive because they don’t look like a model. There is so much more to you than what you look like. You’ll find your own Mishas. Just keep on being awesome and keep looking!
