How it feels to be in the fandom of a show about friendship :

[fictionalaroace]

To be clear, while I joke and even occasionally enjoy fiddauthor and billford content, I do still fully believe Ford is aroace. Bill was like "Ford has stress dreams where he's being asked who he's attracted to and he says "Facts and logic," what's that called? Plansexual?" No, worstie, it's called amatonormativity

[fictionalaroace]

I do actually love the idea of ford and bill not doing anything explicitly sexual (especially pre-betrayal), instead just doing weird shit. And I love bill getting flustered as ford gets wayy too intimate without realising it.

Because it makes total sense that ford doesn't realise that his natural enthusiasm and intensity comes across as flirting. He's a clueless nerd, probably ace too. I think the whole fidd situationship was foreshadowing. It establishes that ford can't see how he's influencing people, and can't see when they fall for him.

And so he never stopped to think that maybe becoming obsessed with bill, studying every inch of him, worshipping him unconditionally, may have consequences. I think it took being literally chained up like a fucking dog for ford to realise bill might have a thing for him.

sometimes finding aromanticism in media isn’t literally about aromanticism… sometimes it’s about the deconstruction of love as a concept and the subversion of its perception as inherently humanising. it’s about the decentering of romance as a driving force in the narrative. and also sometimes it’s about love being central to the narrative but in a way that defies all traditional categorisations of romantic / platonic / anything else. it is the secret third thing yet so much more and less at once. the point is aromanticism is everywhere for those with eyes to see

My AroAce BillFord Hot Take

I think more people need to consider the fact that Ford Pines being aroace and the abusive billford relationship/situationship can still exist simultaneously and not even in the "aroace is a spectrum" or "make it queerplatonic instead of romantic/sexual" way.

First off, action and identity are not the same thing. Aroace people enter sexual and romantic relationships for a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with attraction.

Second, this all took place in the 70s and 80s. There is a very good chance Ford wouldn't have even known what asexuality or aromanticism was, let alone that he might BE aroace.

Take it from an aroace person who's been there, When you are raised to believe that feeling romantic and sexual attraction are the norm, you can convince yourself that all sorts of strong feelings are romantic and sexual attraction when they aren't.

Ford was literally worshiping Bill as a god. He could fully have mistaken his obsession with and interest in Bill's weirdness as sexual or romantic attraction.

Not to mention, he could have had the very aroace experience of receiving romantic attention from someone he was close to platonically and assuming that going along with it is just "what you're supposed to do."

Basically, amatanormativity is a bitch and I'm very happy for Ford figuring himself out later in life and leaving his abusive ex. Good for him!

"aroace stanford" and "he fucked that triangle" are statements that are both true in my mind

Me: Oh.

Me: I mean- I guess you can stay here that- Wait is this just me or he's getting closer-

Me: WAIT LEAVE ME ALONE- AAAHH-
