#but when the genfic is what i'd consider an undefined polycule?? woooooo que golazo

[crimeronan]

despite my initial befuddlement over how toh fandom interprets luz and hunter's relationship, my experience so far has ended up largely positive. when i first finished the show and ventured into the tags i was "??????" about all the "siblings" content bc i did not get that at ALL from them & also they do not share genetics or a guardian or an upbringing in any way shape or form. then i discovered that the sibling content is pretty much all just qpr content packaged as a traditional familial dynamic & i was like "oh. OHHHHH OH. OH. OK. I CAN WORK WITH THIS"

catch me three months into hyperfixation now having written 50k of luz & hunter undefined-relationship fic where they're literally the clingiest most neurotic people alive and luz has repeatedly tried to get hunter to move into her room with her and hunter has had a complete nervous breakdown about how bad he wants to be able to sleep next to her all the time and luz has crawled on top of him to be a human weighted blanket and their respective guardians keep referring to the other kid as "my kid's boy" "my kid's human" and they're ride-or-die forever

in an ordinary fandom i'd have gotten at least SOME pushback by now from people accusing me of being a monogamous hetshipping psyop (ronanessy flashbacks) but instead here i've received literally NO comments interpreting their relationship as romantic, but Several interpreting them as siblings

and i'm like. this relationship could not be further from my experiences with my own actual siblings, hence my utter mystification, but. you know what?? yeah alright sure. the ability to write qpr affection that's automatically interpreted as a strong committed life partnership without needing to defend it to weirdo circlejerkers is like. Totally Worth all of my bemused "wait. do you guys like..... know..... that people.... often have lifelong relationships that aren't.... romantic.... OR Literal Blood Family????"
