Are you ever watching an AMAZING movie and it's just so good and you love the protagonist and the plot is so compelling and then they interact with the first ever important character of the other gender that's not related to them and they play up the relationship and you're like "no... No... NOOOOO" Because they shoehorned in a fucking romance that has literally nothing to do with the plot

decided to play the wayhaven chronicles with a detective who is as much of an arsehole as possible but is also reomancing adam. it's a fucking comedy to me. it is just so funny. I've only just started book 2, I cannot WAIT for the carnival. enemies to lovers but both of them suck at emotions. I'm cackling with laughter rn.

Can I be honest. It's kind of weird to see people call literally any fictional male/female romance they see "forced". Like I see this sometimes and I don't know how to take it because it really just comes off like you think male/female romance is just like Bad and Pointless. In general. Which is not the type of stance you think it is LMAO

Is the issue with Amame and Gen that Gen is "ugly"?
What do we mean by "issue" here anon? If I've complained about the two's relationship and I know I have somewhere I think the main issue is that they established a very wholesome and profound platonic relationship, even calling it familial at some point only to last minute go "No... they were romantic feelings all along" because that makes it more... meaningful? Or something? The issue I have with it is amanormativity, basically, the basis of their relationship of her being one of the few accepting people in his life is very good but there's no reason it should have fallen back into the person who'll do everything for their crush trope at least not in the way that it did
