i love being a fangirl. i was always meant to care too deeply about the media i consume

yall telling me that the one woman cassius has ever been in love with in his own words doesn't love him back and is unobtainable omfg pierce stop accidentally writing gay characters and then doing nothing with it

well not just that pierce also forgot about cassius's queerness in general... cause literally it is only ever seen as a joke and has yet to be explored genuinely outside of characters joking about them being as close as they are. like pierce seriously just said "yeah hes bi maybe" and thought that that was enough activism for the day, when he is never shown experiencing clear cut, non-vague attraction to another man, and even his attraction to women is idealized. like you have the perfect recipe for a character with internalized homophobia, a way to explore what happens if a favorite son of a high ranking gold house was attracted to men, and to actually unpack how the society views queerness, but executing that is too far apparently. Apparently.

the issue is that admitting that there is genuinely nothing behind cassius's feelings for aurae and virginia would also require PB admitting that he wrote better emotional romantic and sexual chemistry between darrow and cassius than even darrow and virginia
