Hiro, in a monotone voice: So… You're breaking up with me because my muscles are too big?
Karmi, at the same time: Oh my god!
Hiro: I mean I didn't know my muscles were that big.
Karmi: No, I'm breaking up with you because-I'm breaking up with you because you don't listen to me!
Hiro: I didn't know they were thaaat big…
Karmi: Which is exactly what you are doing right now!
Hiro: I didn't know they were that giant. I didn't know my muscles were soooo huge-
Karmi: Literally YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO ME
Hiro: -that you couldn't even handle my muscles
Karmi: You don't listen to me it's SO frustrating!
I stumbled upon a ship post and it was all about "oh look how A is lovingly staring at B". I was just about to complain over here that there's a perfectly good Pokemon in A's line of vision. And then I remembered not all people are autistic.
a lot of the popular "queerbait" ships are just "these two characters are friends / they stood close together once" but every once in a while i'll stumble into an unfamiliar ship tag and see shit like "in episode 169 Scrungko gives Blorbis multiple prostate orgasms with an anal vibrator while pretending to date him" and like. idk what the hell is going on there. but if it's not queerbait then they just invented something even more insane. maybe y'all are right sometimes.
Imo the best ending to Supernatural would have been to just stop with them alive on a random hunt or them finding jobs and living the life they just wanted or whatever.
And then the story just fucking STOP, because Chuck is not here anymore, so they are no longer part of a story they are finally free. And we could still write and read fanfic about how they live after they won.
there is just something about the difference between edwin's love interests and having the cat king's reaction to edwin in hell being "i'll be waiting when he gets back" vs charles "no version of this where i don't come get you" rowland convincing a powerful trans-dimensional being to open a door to hell just so he could get him back
ultimately when it comes to shipping and fandom space treatment of aspec characters i just don't accept "aro/ace people can still date/have sex" as an answer from nonaspecs. like yeah. mhm. okay. now i think we both know that you're not saying that out of real interest in the diversity of aspec experiences. so you can turn in your seventeen-page essay on why and how you plan to examine this character's aspec identity within the context of a romantic or sexual relationship complete with evidence from canon and peer reviews from multiple aspec people within the next week or i'm putting you in the pit from the edgar allen poe story
