Ignoring my Tumblr screentime limit to say that this song would be the perfect Amaldyne and Eityr song (from Eityr’s perspective) if it was less strongly implied to be about a romantic relationship.

youtube

#eityr is aroace #amaldyne is allo but too busy making her entire personality saving the world and maybe also doing some moral no-nos to worry about dating #but I heard ‘she’s bad news / but i’m no better’ and went ‘oh that’s exactly how eityr feels about amaldyne!#eityr: hey is it normal to obsessivly hold onto another person because they excuse and enable your bad behavior and they’re the only person #who can fucking stand you and you see yourself reflected in them on a fundamental level? even as you know they’re making you worse and their #love is conditional because it’s the only love you’ve ever gotten?#amaldyne: yeah that’s how I feel about you and i’m a regular everyman. anyway please stop having doubts about whether or not being my bff is #‘bad for you’ i found some bad guys and i need you to eat their brains and tell me everything they know ok thx ily #they’re the worst <3 #amaldyne #amaldyne rotwing #eityr #god she really needs a last name i’m so sorry #anyway #the lizard crew #(technically eityr is one of my few non-lizards (noctar + bug person) but that’s the tag sooooo)#but yeah back on the romance stuff #eityr came aromantic pre-story (or at least this specific iteration of it)#and i think making them have a romance would actually take away something from their ddynamic #they’re platonic soulmates who are obsessed with each other but also sort of ruining each others lives (and tbh it’s mostly amaldyne’s fault #)#ok very tired hope all of that made sense #analdyne&eityr #<- idk what my tag for their relationship is so its that one now #okok for real goodnight #Youtube

Kinda feeling soukoku makes a more interesting dynamic as exes that are now friends rather than lovers.

i'm still thinking about how GOOD the practical fight choreography is though, like mackenyu is EATING those scenes as Zoro he's so smooth, and Emily's Nami action too?? like it's CLEAN it's COOL i rewinded it to rewatch !

#one piece live action #one piece #opla #back to more positive hype things and not yeah #LUFFYS ARE ALSO GOOD INAKI IS A BLESSING but i just wanted to highlight the Nami and Zoro of it all #also their fucking interations in the first few episodes fhshfahsah (im only on 4)#like god romance dawn trio rights truly #they all are so good and have such good chemistry #nate says stuff #nami #zoro

I came here from the bird app to follow you and I WAS ALREADY DOING IT. One question, were erasermic together before Aizawa became a Nomu? And are we getting some heavy angst OwO? I love your style btw. Sorry if this is already answered and I haven't seen it u.u.

yeah they're married 😎

#boku no hero academia fanart #Yabureme Aizawa AU #shouta aizawa #Hizashi yamada #erasermic #for this AU I subscribe to the timeline of #whirlwind first romance erasercloud during high school and the mutual loss of oboro helped erasermic take root #the former definitely never destined to last even if oboro hadn't died #and the latter destined to be soulmates #mic just wants his yoinked husband back #also YEAH I PLAN TO PROVIDE ANGST #I've alluded to erasermic marriage by including wedding bands in yabureme stuff but I don't know if I've explicitly SAID married #so now I have

You know what? I think we need more appreciation for the fact that ORV remains platonic. Because like...

I love how KimCom and just ORV in general has friendships that use the absolutest cheesiest romantic Things and STILL have the relationship portrayed as friendship. That they can love each other to the point of death and it's framed as platonic.

"This man. He is the world I want to save. My world."? Really, Heewon. "Tell me, you fool, if I regress will I see you again"? Disgusting, Joonghyuk. Spending 13 years wasting away only writing a novel for O N E person? Sooyoung, come on. Talking about spending a life together and growing old in an alternate world without scenarios? Scandalous, Sangah. Calling yourself his shield and pouring your heart for him alone? Hyunsung, there are children present. There was a reason why I went ??? when Heewon x Hyunsung happened

Like please....such actions are usually reserved for romances but the narrative treats them as viable platonic actions AND I REFUSE NOT TO GO INSANE ABOUT IT -

#again obligatory disclaimer tag #ship all you want but there are SO FEW mainstream stuff out there that shows 'certain actions aren't inherently romantic'#so i just....eat it like a plate of chicken nuggets when i see a story use cliche romantic lines to reinforce friendship bonds #also with this post im fully back on tumblr not just totally off or lurking adjacently #anyway i recognise the romance baiting and ignore it in favour of framing it to my own platonic bonds agenda :p #so yeah #fandom spamdom #orv #omniscient reader's viewpoint #note's nonsense #orv spoilers

ik hny is abt satoko and her (lack of) autonomy but damn isnt it depressing to see her constantly being pressured to do something she doesnt really want to do over and over and the way she just kind of follows peoples plans like the whole time its her family then shinpei then kotaro then mitsueda and then asagiri and now asagiri wants to take something from her that to satoko losing it is worse than death and its like man. and the worst thing is that shes doing all this complying to peoples plans just so she can go back home and follow somebody elses. tachibana give her a break im begging you

#claude txt #not to bring this back to romance and shit but like yk what. maybe it is important satoko realises her feelings #on her own.#even if there is pressure. from like asagiri. for it.#she goes yk what im doing this on my own terms im writing a letter #and she realises her feelings on her own #that she chooses to keep it to herself until it is time #because yeah kotaro is lile shes naive and stuff and she is or whatever #but the facr rhat she chooses for herself despite yk kotaro.#all this to say yk that song by mitski that is like my love is mine all mine #yeah. satoko.#good god thats the only thing she chooses and fully owns herself #yk what tachibana take all her pain and give it to shinpei or something please #shinpei whump i crave it #lord shinpei rlly is the only thing she ever really chooses for her own self huh that she will #ignore tamakis advice she will ignore asagiri she will ignore kotaro and she will do this herself #its 2am i have to wake uo at 6am tmr for work pray for me #in 9 when satoko is like damn shinpei doesnt know shit abt love but i onow even less! girl i think u know more than him 💀 im sorry girl #man. shinpei would ask her constantly if she still likes him and shit and she will dodge that shit like crazy #because shinpei doesnt rllt care…all he needs is the Bare Bare Bare Minimum…#so satokos just free to dodge all the love questions w/o consequence and figure it out herself #tachibana. please. take all her pain and give it to mitsueda or something.#please. Please.#not enough shinpei suffering in hny i think (ik hes so messed up alr)#do it for me. i want him suffering.#please just let satoko be happy for once w/o strings attached

reading Love, Theoretically and can someone remind me of why everyone was acting like Ali Hazelwood is the second coming of Satan who can't write because this is a solid, good contemporary romance

#romance novel blogging #like i'm not saying it's mindblowing but it's cozy and cute while still having emotional stakes #and while it could always be sexier it's still p sexy for a slow burn #the chemistry is on point the tension is great #and like yeah does ali have a 'big guy/small girl who's not a virgin but is inexperienced and SOOOOO FUCKIN TIIIGHT' type?#for sure #but lmao as if that isn't.... the type... for the majority of romance novelists..................#and as if readers don't eat that shit up #like for sure we need more stuff that isn't that #but lmao dude ali hazelwood did not invent that issue #and it's okay for her to write to a type bc most romance novelists.... do #which is probs why i took a couple years between her books!#bc sometimes when you read the same author over and over back to back to back #you get bored!

No one told me ursula le guin's tehanu was gonna have gentle incisive character-driven reflections on gender roles mediated partly thru a blushingly tender middle aged romance between an ex archmage now goatherd virgin and a farmer widow who is possibly a dragon in human form

#the beating heart of the story is the theru/tenar relationship; thats the most compelling stuff imo #the treachery of pedagogy and being a mother; the two steps fwd 1 step back of helping a child recover from trauma #but the romance is also like. so sweet. and so tied into tenar's own journey her confrontation of magic as a man's art #the own domestic life she chose #the fact ged looks at her and sees her not as a widow but someone wise and competent to be listened to #and NO OTHER MAN IN HER LIFE EXCEPT MAYBE OGION LOOKED AT HER THAT WAY #Yeah anyway thats the good shit

the results of that "is fanfic a book" poll have shown me one thing and its that this site never graduated past that absolutely insufferable phase in 2013 where everyone acted like every book is the single most sacred thing on earth

#sorry rant incoming. you know like the people who got way too offended over dog earing or carving books for art or things like that?#that's what the notes section of that poll feel like. just way too many people (on both sides) putting way too much importance on Books.#like first you have the 'um ive read fanfic that was deep and beautiful and thematic so yes all fanfic is books' votes #which like. ok. ive also read really deep thematic screenplays but that doesnt make it a book its simply not. what a book is #then you have the honestly even worse 'um your reylo au isn't like the works of the masters its not REAL BOOKS' crowd #which like. yeah most actual published books are not as good as the 'works of the masters' whatever that means. so you have proven nothing #which brings us back to the absolute worst of all 'colleen hoover & co aren't books either' SOMEHOW #like. ok well i think her work is pretty bad but it was literally edited and published into literal books so #if you're going to decide that you get to be the arbiter of what books are Good Enough to count as Real Books well you've lost already.#because no that's not how any of this works. youre fighting one of the most famous Losing Battles in all of art discourse.#a book is just. a format that writing can be in its not some holy status you have to work to acheive #and to try and turn it into that is really stupid and self important i think because like again #who gets to decide what books are Real? what motivates them to make that choice? what biases are benefited from that?#i think its worth noting in conversations like this everyone wants to deny female romance authors the title of Real Book #(which yes a lot of those books are very shallow or badly written. many have outright offensive tropes)#but nobody mentions the equally shallow and offensive stuff by/for men. like william johnstone's shitty cowboy books for example.#no matter how you try to frame it youre going to lose the second you decide something has to fit your standards to be real art.#avpost #its very reminiscent for me of the conversation around modern art where people just want to say they know what is and isn't real art #based on like whatever standards they want. 'ugh its just dots it's not real art'. do u see where im coming from.#a book is just. a piece of writing that was edited and published in the form of a physical book. that's it. its a v literal if vague noun.#it can be something with a lot of depth and meaning. it can be shallow and hacky. it can be nonfiction entirely. its not a value statement #which can also be said about art as a whole some of it is very shallow and bad. some of it is extremely skilled and profound #anyway. no fanfic isn't inherently books but some fanfics have undergone editing & publishing and became books i think #and that doesnt mean that they're 'as good as' the classics by really skilled writers. but theyre still books #tbh a lot of the published fanfic books are worse than most nonbook fanfic. them being books isnt a statement of being more valuable.#its just a literal fact.#i think its interesting to discuss but i swear its not a huge deal whether fanfic is books the bigger deal to me is #the weird attitude popping up on both sides. which i think most people would also find stupid if their brains hadnt been like #totally ruined by an uninterrupted 5 years of insufferable-on-all-sides fanfic discourse that has ruled this website.

shakes uncontrollably and starts foaming at the mouth i love analyzing media so much

#i love love love doing it its so natural to me one time i spaced out cus i was thinking too hard about the smut fic i was reading #honestly though. ooc and also girlie youve been reading too much romance books. also your paragraphs are too lenghty.#thats ok tho loved what you wrote come back to it every time great work <3 #anyways what was i writing aboh yeah media analysis.#falls on the floor and convulces i love reading into things and coming to conclusions and debating/discussing #cant do it with homestuck cus too big (way too many chances of me missremembering shit) + too convoluted + girl ive moved on from it #spiritually i am no longer a homestuck im just here for dave strider and a lack of other stuff to do #txt

Dorian is my favourite Da character but that doesn't mean I can't also fucking hate that they added homophobia at random to the DA universe in Inquisition

#dorian dragon age romance #I understand that it is a tevinter issue we haven't been in tevinter yadayadya #But even so #It can fit in plot wize and still be unnecessary #I get that it's mostly for dorian to get an heir but that's not the case fully there isnt just the reproductive part obviously as halward #Doesn't want him publicly shaming them by being openly gay #Gay is jusy a bad thing socially in tevinter generally #So yeah #In da2 nobody reacted much at all to gay stuff and in dao you had mostly straight options but it was the same thing #Preference and sensuality is totally good and fine and also having just bi bitches as your companions is hilarious too #I love dai but I recently saw a post critical to the lack of depth in the 3rd game #And I do see it #I love the game and plot and characters but they don't get much exploration like the older games and they aren't as evolved in the plot #The inquisitor is much more isolated being in the position they are as well as the open race options with different origins making it #Harder to have clear story lines that fit all ig #Anyways #Rant rant rant i should get back to my exam lolll

L'Engle, would it kill you to let Vicky Austin have one (1) boy in her life who does not patronize and try to control her? Just once? As a treat?

#random personal stuff #back on my soapbox feel free to ignore #I'm rereading (most of) the Austin family series #and yeah Zachary Grey is The Worst and I would fistfight him if given the chance #but this time reading The Moon by Night I'm struck by how the other guy who's interested in Vicky #and who is set up as So Much Better than Zachary #and as his Foil In Every Respect #is actually also The Worst in a less obvious way #he's known her just a few days and he's already telling her things like 'I don't want you to see him again'#which Vicky notes is the same exact thing Zachary has said to her about this dude #...and yet neither she nor the narrative seems to grasp that in both cases this is a huge red flag???#is this what dating in the 60s was like?#I do like this series (for the most part) but not because of the romance plots #Vicky's struggles with family dynamics and trying to understand life are very real and relatable

Middlegame

power hungry alchemist creates quantum-entangled twins with the power to alter reality, with the intent to use them to become a god

they grow up apart, math and language geniuses, but with a mental connection - and every time they get close they’re in danger

this is a lot

#middlegame #aroaessidhe 2022 reads #this is. a lot! i think it’s good #I remember a while back my flatmate mentioned reading this bc someone recced it for fans of the taaco twins which. yeah I see that.#(in terms of twin centred & reality bending/universe stuff; not detail wise)#it is; as with much time travel/reality bending fiction; reliant on just believing what the author tells you makes sense or doesn’t make se #sense and not bothering thinking too hard about it ldhgkldf or at least that’s how I approach these things #should I read the sequel #also dodger feels aspec-coded - like I think intentionally not Written As Aspec; but like; she’s never interested in any of that #baascially no romance. I mean only really mentions
