whatever a moon has always meant

i ship them but in an infinitely more nuanced and aromantic way than you ever will

I think the word "hetjoshi" should refer exclusively to people who don't particularly give a fuck about canon straight ships most of the time but gravitate towards pairs of men and women with an undefined connection which "transcends labels" but its undeniably the most important connection to the involved characters in the story. the type of people who ship max/furiosa, mako/raleigh, roy/riza, etc. someone who likes a lot of het ships is just someone who likes het ships. a hetjoshi is someone who mirrors the way fujoshis ship stuff, where the reading into subtext and building up from it is the fun part.

You might think that an individual chapter of your own written work does not have the capacity to hate you. You would be wrong

it's Fucking up everything because my adhd task management will not allow me to do [X,y,z] before i finish this chapter. You'd also think being aware of this executive functioning glitch might allow you to bypass it. Well you'd also also be wrong

big fan of that trope where like. something really awful happens to Character or someone they love and they manage to catch the bastard who did it and get revenge. and it's righteous at first and everyones on their side but it slowly devolves into abject cruelty as everyone looks on in horror. dude that's enough he's stopped twitching etc etc

big fan of when media asks you to personally confront retributive violence. it's one thing to say bad guy deserves to die for his crimes and quite another to watch it happen in real time

you 🫵 yes you. if you wince and avert your eyes does that absolve you. do you feel better about yourself. do you feel less complicit.

Love character relationships that can only be described as "whatever the fuck these two have going on"
