seeing people make up a version of a guy in their heads just to be haters... "i think X wants [exact opposite of what he has said in every single press conference] which says a lot about him." and i think half the grid would benefit from getting pegged. really says a lot about them, don't you think?
#like. no. ur guess abt what a guy you hate wants actually says nothing abt him? lmfao? you do not know him#i think lots of things!!! i do not think that my unfounded theories and general bullshittery online say anything about anyone except myself#must learn to resist the urge to go into tags on posts. it is the mindkiller

I always find it interesting that homosexual coded main characters don't really get shipped with every single side character of the opposite gender. And people get told off for shipping lesbian coded characters with men or gay coded characters with women by the rest of the fandom. But it's always aroace coded main characters getting shipped with every single side character that exists. And aroace fans getting told to "not generalise the entire aspec community" and "let people ship whomever they want!! It's just fiction!!!" as if we don't deserve to see characters living happy lives not being in relationships. And my biggest pet peeve is the trope of an aroace coded character "growing up and maturing" by... getting in a romantic/sexual relationship. Really shows what these people think about non-partnering aspec people irl. It's not just about fictional characters but they'll never admit it 🤷
I will say that there are some idiots out there who do ship gay characters with the opposite sex because they believe in people being able to ship whatever they want (which can lead to some disturbing places but I digress) But those kinds of ships do get a lot more push back and the same people who get after people for changing characters from gay to straight do not have the same energy when it happens to aro /aroace characters.
These same people are the ones calling for representation and how we treat characters identities in fiction does reflect how we view those identities in the real world EXCEPT when it comes to aspec characters. Suddenly then it's "fiction doesn't effect reality!!!" there's some double standards happening and it's beyond frustrating that no one seems to even notice and get mad at us for pointing it out.
Not to mention it's incredibly funny to hear them cry "Don't generalize the community" while they generalize the community by acting like every aro/ace/aroace person can date and have sex - which like you said ignored the existence of non-partnering identities and I'd like to add it also erases repulsed identities.
None of these people actually care about the aspecs who date or have sex. they don't actually care how those identities work or those experiences at all. they're using them as a get out of jail free card. a loop hole. a "I can't be homophobic because I have a gay best friend" card. They don't care about QPRs and how those relationships can be experience in wildly different ways. All they care about is if they get to have two characters kiss without having to genuinely look at themselves and their biases and possibly have the revelation that they might hold bigoted beliefs about aspec people.
And at this point I'd rather them admit that they don't actually care about aspec identities or experiences instead of tying themselves into knots to try and prove "I'm not aphobic!!!!" because they actively tried to find a loop hole to make it so that they could feel superior and in the right for being able to erase an entire identity of people.
#asks#aro#ace#aromantic#asexual#aroace#like it becomes incredibly obvious when the same people who claim not liking female characters#can reflect real like misogynistic views on women are the same people#who are saying that “it's just fiction it doesn't hurt anyone” when it comes to shipping aroace/aro characters#like okay so do how people treat fictional characters reflective of beliefs they have in the real world or not#What makes the treatment of one identity in fiction reflective of reality and the treatment of another identity 'just fiction'. quickly.#at what point is it 'just fiction that doesn't hurt anyone' and at what point is it 'fiction hurts real people'. quickly#and I've already made a post about how people can only interact with media through shipping and how that's caused a decrease#in media literacy and critical thinking in general because people are viewing media through an incredibly narrow view#and warping or ignoring the main message of the media in favor of a romantic narrative that doesn't exist#and i could say more about how that makes people ignore aspec coding and subtext of characters and stories#but these tags are long as is and so is this post#in the end it's all just amatonormative allonormative aphobic bullshittery#and i'm incredibly tired of it#long post#long post with equally long tags#i have a lot of subthoughts that i dont wanna try and fit in the main post#might make more posts about these thoughts. probably will. no one can shut me up.

real talk though the best way to deal with mean/manipulative people is to counter with being aggressively kind. To not rise up to the bait, and to be appear obliviously nice and kind. For example, I had an ex-coworker who loved drama and being mean to people behind their backs. And the response that was most infuriating to her was to be like “oh so-and-so? Yes they’re soooo lovely! I just adore working with them 🥰” And it would stop her in her tracks, but more importantly, she couldn’t pass on gossip about me. What could she say, “btw Rainia is always saying nice things 😒.” A losing battle. You’d be surprised how many times this is effective in shutting down bullshit.
#I have used this to great effect many an occasion#it came to mind now with this latest drama#I could just be like ‘well it doesn’t matter anymore because we’re all such good friends and everyone is so lovely!!’#and he could only agree with that unless he wanted to out himself as a haterrr#which manipulative people generally don’t like to do#anywayssss pro tip#if you are ever being pulled into drama against your will#it’s the most effective way of being like. oh absolutely not. I’m NOT buying into your bullshittery

people who dislike dame aylin because she's aggressive and loud and think it isn't fitting has never read any actual lore about aasimar, celestials, and paladins
the most potent (likely scourge to boot) aasimar that the realms has ever seen that's the daughter of a chaotic good deity AND is a vengeance paladin to boot is probably like, actually incapable of not breaking evil spines upon her knee lol
#granted most ppl who dont like dame aylin cuz of her personality cry abt it cuz they think its#'strong woman writing bullshittery' like we also dont rescue her TWICE in the game#also just general misogyny#AND HOMOPHOBIC cant forget homophobic

Detective Conan (Case Closed i think it's called in english?) is in a constant state between bullshittery and mysteries that make sense and are at least partially guessable and I love that about it.
#i was having thinky thoughts about mysteries in general#specifically the Layton writing#which is honestly insane for the most part#don't me wrong I love it but they absolutely do some ass pulls#and I'm also into conan again#i love me some shuichi akai#what a guy#and they absolutely do some asspulls too#but especially the smaller crime mysteries do have at least parts you can guess even if you don't know any motives#those are usually too fiction lore specific to have come up#but the who-done-it part is often within reach#like the case with the red shirts#(which is also just amazing because of all the character bullshittery going on the background that shit is excellent)#i will not spoil it but the people who are involved are guessable not only for writing reasons#but also because of those#but there are hints that the average reader can get#(also holy hell everyone and no one is Akai it's great)#(especially cause I think they hadn't revealed the big twist yet at that point I think?)#(So the characters are just as confused)#what a show#i am so hyped for the next movie especially cause it's gonna be a Kid movie!!#I love Kid#I should watch those episodes again

sho/coco for that duo bingo
ShoCoco siblingry is absolutely fantastic and makes SO much sense to me. Like I see them and think "Oh yeah that's just what siblings are like." They can't get through a single on-screen interaction without arguing. Coco won't let him live down a favour from three years ago. Sho will always be there to protect her when she needs him...but not without spouting some math bullshit he knows will piss her off. I'm eat shit. And I'm die. The fuck you brothers.
Also it's made even BETTER by the fact that there's no clear canonical opportunity for them to have developed this relationship. Sho scuttled his ass out of hell via her sigil and then they locked eyes and sibling-imprinted on each other or something. I saw that cutscene he looked ready to punt her into the sun. My best guess is that she mentioned getting shot by Joshua and they instantly recognized each other as kindred spirits <3
#I have another fanfic idea to dump in the pile about an au with the New Day gang (sho/coco/neku) going on a cross-country roadtrip#like a normal-world au where it's kind of analogous to the Inversion incident#sho is coco's half-brother who just got kicked out of uni for general sho bullshittery and is in an absolute hellish state without#a goal to chase. he's listless and frustrated and so desperate for ANYTHING to channel his energy into that he agrees to join in#coco's semi-kidnapping of Neku (who's closer to their age in this au so he can drive. he's her coworker/acquaintance who she's blackmailing#still workshopping it#shococo sibling content one day I will make you#asks

Part of me thinks it would be really cool to go caving but the rest of me is deeply arachnophobic and knows I would have a panic attack covered in spiders and die in a cave.
For similar reasons, I am in no hurry to go scuba diving
#not scared of ocean spiders or anything just generally scared of how bad the ocean can fuck you up#also I've had a fear of sea monsters since I was about 6 years old#caving#diving#bullshittery#text post

LISTEN! listen okay. gamer boys get a bad rap but if you find half decent ones there is honestly no better feeling then chilling in a voice call with them and they all make the dumbest jokes youve ever heard and poke fun at each other cus it makes you laugh while you all suck at a video game together. theres a type of magic there i swear it
#platonic bullshittery#i do not vouch for gamers in general but#if you find some good ones. theyre kinda great#waffling
