the problem with fanfiction is that theres too many coffeeshop aus and not enough aus where the characters are trapped in an alivehouse psychological horror situation or perhaps a labyrinth of sorts
u guys know sexuality gender and the way u feel attraction can change right. u know you can put labels on and off right. nothing is solid swim a little if you like etc
normalize saying “it was a phase, mom”. in a way that doesn’t take away that it was real.
this should go without saying but this is also especially true if you identified as ace and then suddenly you’re head over heels in sexy romantic love. or if you were bi and then are suddenly feeling hetero feelings only. there’s nothing shameful about that. maybe it was real, maybe you we’re figuring things out - that’s for you to know only.
It’s a unique type of frustration when you agree that a character is deeply flawed but other people keep missing what’s actually wrong with them and assigning them new flaws that they don’t even have it’s like free my man he did none of that. He did a bunch of other shit tho.
