#Anyway this is excellent

I was re-reading btp and this isn’t really a theory or anything just some extra details to add pain

Like after Wilbur and quackity hook up, quackity falls asleep first (I’m a sucker for the “person pining sleeps facing the other while the other sleeps facing the other way” kind of unrequited trope)

And Wilbur didn’t really care for the sex it was the fact that he got to be with quackity that made it amazing, different from all the rest. Even the thought of getting kissed by quackity again made him dizzy. Wilbur just looks at quackity and smiles sleepily. Listening to the soft snores that we’re all too familiar. He almost allowed himself to comb his hand through quackitys hair before hearing a soft ping come from quackitys phone.

Wilbur watched as the phone lit up the dark room, feeling his stomach churn at the picture of quackity and his husbands. He retracts his hand, instead harshly clenching his own shoulder length curls an tugging them down. How did he manage to fuck up something else. He decided to turn and face away from quackity, feeling the enormous guilt subside slightly before falling asleep.

Anyways, you can imagine this to the dream AU too, possibly Wilbur trying not to go to sleep bc he thinks he doesn’t deserve it. Him laying on his bed after 4 days and he looks over to see quackitys bare back once again clashed against the sheets. Wilbur feeling tears sting his eyes as he tries to reach his hand towards the conjured image his brain made only for it to fall onto a pillow beside him.

If this is bad blame the sleep deprivation lol

I have a lot of thoughts, but I just want to say this panel is the funniest thing I've ever seen:

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

what if we were teammates of 19 years who said things like "i remember watching you play in latvia, thinking how lucky i was that i was going to be your teammate" and "sid saved me" and "only for pittsburgh, always with sid" and "i just always liked him from the start. always have. always will"... and we were both boys

(and what if sports reporters wrote alpha/alpha romance about us. what then.)

The thing is, I don’t care that much about the actual act of someone shipping aromantic characters nearly as much as I care about the biases and amatanormative beliefs that underlie so many people’s decision to do so. The problem isn’t that individual people ship aromantic characters sometimes. It’s the fact that shipping aromantic characters or expressing disappointment that a character is aromantic and thus “can’t be shipped” almost seems to be the default in fandom spaces. Aromantic representation, especially nonpartnering aromantic representation, is treated as something that will “ruin people’s fun” (see: the Hazbin Hotel creator explaining why she won’t say whether or not Alastor is aromantic).

And yes, SOME aromantic people can still date or have non-romantic partners. But the fact that some people are so vehemently against the idea of fictional characters being nonpartnering is still something to be questioned.

Because, really, that’s the crux of the issue. It’s perfectly fine if people like the idea of an aromantic character being partnering or romance favorable. In fact, it would be wonderful to see more characters written as partnering and/or romance favorable aromantics. But when someone ONLY shows interest in characters being partnering or favorable aros in response to those same characters being interpreted as nonpartnering, it often comes across less as a desire to have representation for partnering and favorable aros and more as an opposition to having representation for nonpartnering aros.
