#the focus is not the romance

[zeawesomebirdie]

This is probably just me not knowing how to utilise google correctly but WHY is it so hard to find Western novels about gay men that aren't romance novels

i think a side effect of loving mishanks for many people is becoming very endeared by the "rayleigh is mihawk's parent" au's haha :') first one's part of this fic i posted where smolhawk challenges rayleigh to a duel ⚔️✨️ second one's just a random kid!mishanks doodle. i think their shenanigans (incl buggy!) would be cute.

All this aroace character shipcourse has proven to me that a majority of people that interact in fandom cannot actually interact with characters and media outside of shipping and genuinely I believe you need to learn how to interact with media outside of shipping.

Whenever I read fics that use Trucy’s supernatural perceptiveness so she can read how other people feel about each other, I can’t help but wish it was more focused on her like

[frostedpuffs]

it's so funny when ppl are like "ur only into fandom for shipping" like yes bitch that's the point!!! I'm a romantic at heart!!!! i wanna see two ppl kiss. What about it

Hey, ninjago fandom, you watched ducktales 2017 yet?

You should really watch ducktales 2017. Good stuff. Animated show where color coded children go on adventures with old man. It's your genre. You'd like it.

i just remembered how many gold ships there are in JoJo like it truly does not get more wild. Every one hits in some wild offshoot bullseye

massive shoutout to Sophie from Neopets. for those who don't know she escaped a small Victorian town when she was young and grew up to be a witch who lives in a swamp with approximately 17 Meowclops who curses anything that mildly annoys her. she teams up with her brother and a small woodland orphan to fix the town and then goes right back to living in the swamp. girlboss

less "this story has no romance in it" and "this story has aspec characters in it", more "this story is about aromantic people and aromanticism" please and thank you

Panem leader: make people focus on romance so that people ignore the children dying and the dictature they are living in.

Hunger games fans : focus on romance and ignore the children dying and the dictature the character are living in while talking about the books and movies.

I think it exactly proves the point that Suzanne Collins was trying to make in the book.

And it's sad

I do love how immediately Alanna just accepted that not only was Egwene hooking up with someone in the White Tower, but she was hooking up with multiple people and genuinely needed help on how to manage her performance in three ways while still satisfying herself

like you know that Egwene is definitely not the first Novice or Accepted to go to Alanna for love and sex advice and Alanna is just like "this is my job, I will counsel these girls on sex" and assumes that's what they're there for when they come ask to talk to her privately

Y'all ever think about how children's media is the only media to really put priority to friendship (ex: the power of friendship) and how once you grow up media starts to shift towards a focus on romantic love and sexual relationships and how that kind of puts out this idea that valuing friendship is a childish thing you need to grow out of and replace with romance and sex cause I do.
