Heated Rivalry is a romance

We're not being queerbaited

This isn't the 80s

One of them isn't gonna die via AIDS or hate crime

They love each other

You've read the books you know what happens

It's a rule for romance that they have to have a happy ending

They'll be fine

I will be fine

*from distance* ALL THE THINGS SHE SA-

NOPE nuh uh

And while I’m always ready for a healthy debate, the older I get (especially in internet age) the less I want to deal with it, which is why it’s so great to talk to people who are … unspoiled by all that nonsense.

Me: when you read do you ever get nervous or anxious and just ffeeelll what the character is feeling?

Non reader: no if it stresses you out that isn't good.

Me: no no, like you just get into the book. Like you feel what the character is feeling.

Non reader: no that doesn't happen to me.

Me: you don't turn into the character and see everything they see or feel what they feel?

Non reader: no dude, you're weird.
