scary? my god, you’re divine

anything u think about YOUR life after 10pm is bs to be ignored. anything u think about a character’s life after 10pm should be posted about online and expanded on for paragraphs. :)

the problem with parents is that they are undiagnosed

[to the tune of this meeting couldve been an email] this yaoi couldve been a yuri

one of the best things you can make a female character is really bad at interpersonal relationships

noncon romance. is this anything.

Confessions on the brink of death a character accepts out of kindness because it won’t matter soon anyway, but then the other person doesn’t die, the other person expects them to carry through on their promise to love them and gets angry when they try to back out. Blackmail held over someone’s head just to force them to flirt and make romantic advances on another person, so it looks like they wanted this relationship. Talks about marriage and happily ever afters together as a threat. “I love you, I love you, I love you” as a violation that you’re expected to smile at and be grateful for, because you’re supposed to want to be loved. noncon romance.

adding to this: feeling love against your will. love forced on you by some power beyond you. love that you know you wouldn’t feel if you weren’t blessed (cursed) by it. love that you don’t want and is ruining you and that everyone keeps praising you for feeling. love that everyone around you gets mad at you for rejecting anyway. love that’s made so overpowering that it wipes out any semblance of “you” that there is to make way for a thing that will love someone back.

funniest part of this post is how many people reblog it tagged something like “this sounds aromantic” or “op not to derail but aromanticism” and like well guys you’re never going to believe why i find forced romance such a horrifying concept-

i kind of miss when headcanon lists were more of a thing? i wasn't around for it but i stumble on a lot while digging up older fandom stuff and it seems like these days i only see them for xreader specific scenarios.

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

just pinned a girl to the fourth wall

I am a strong believer that declawing and defanging a character to be more palatable for a ship is one of the most unromantic, unsexy things ever. A character consciously choosing to be gentle and kind despite their vicious tendencies and sharp attributes? Now that is peak romance, absolutely sexy as hell
