#(not that the ship was inherently queerplatonic but “oh it's okay if you write them queerplatonically!” “i dont” “it's okay if you do!”)

Does anyone else get into a mood where their brain is stuck on a past experience and then they can't really process anything else
#not important#specifically thinking about the time when i was in a discord server#and this one person kept INSISTING my main ship (one that was very controversial and no one else liked)#was queerplatonic because i mentioned that i dont really write romance/romantic crushes the “typical” way#(not that the ship was inherently queerplatonic but “oh it's okay if you write them queerplatonically!” “i dont” “it's okay if you do!”)#(like kind of trying to get me to agree i didnt REALLY write romance and oh thank you for being a safe space for me to not be into romance)#something i had been thinking about because i was constantly writing ships (particularly the main one) into my stories#and they were constantly being looked over because...again the signs werent the typical ones#and everyone in that server was constantly looking to downplay how much of a shipper i actually am#i still dont do the typical signs of romance in my fics#characters dont usually have confessions or dream about getting married#this doesnt make them *not romantic* or *inherently queerplatonic* they're just written by an aromantic with highly vibe-based writing#it's one of those things where if you're in the correct mindset you go “ohhhh oh no these characters are DOWN BAD for each other”#but im a weirdo and most people will never be in that mindset...sigh#nothing wrong with queerplatonic ships in fiction or actual relationships irl mind you#and of course they're not lesser than romance or anything like that#it was just hurtful to have it implied that i was lying/wasnt performance romance “hard enough” for them to not ignore#and it felt like i wasnt allowed to define my own stance on my own stuff and just have that accepted#a bit ironically i have no problem writing out typical romance stuff in rps it just doesnt quite happen in my own standalone writings

LOVE the way you try to keep the characters more or less true to their canon selves in your fics! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I read the story last night (about when dazai sneaks out 2 months post-mafia to buy bandages) and I LOVE his interactions w chuuya 😭😭😭😭
LIKE. WHY IS IT LOWKEY SO REAL SKDKSS
Okay this is my personal preferences coming in so take this w a grain of salt:
I love how you didn't make it skk sappy and the fact that it can be read also as just platonic - and also their characters AND relationship dynamics feels SIMILAR to their CANON selves (oh i alr said this but ye).

This is too sweet 😭 I'm glad you like it!!! It takes me so long to write and publish things because characterization means everything to me and if I feel like I got it too wrong I can't share it.
And I'm glad you like how I do the "relationship" aspect of it as well! There's a reason when I tag images of them together I never use any kind of ship tag or anything. They're not inherently romantic to me. I want them to be able to be read as romantic, platonic, as queerplatonic, it's up to interpretation. Because I feel like that's the nature of what they are. They're not romantic, but they are intrinsically something that has survived though however many tragedies and tests now. Their relationship dynamic to me is far too nebulous to reduce to romantic. If that makes any sense. At the end of the day, they're just... them. And they exist in the world together. And they're going to continue to cross paths or even seek each other out and they have too much history to ever be anything less than they are, but don't seem to have any inclination to be too much more, either. And I like that. And i like writing it. And I feel no desire to force their hands or my own as a fic writer to make them anything more.
