#actually thats why i love rick riordans work in general cos all the romantic relationships are read as platonic in my brain

y'know something ive realised recently? i completely and utterly despise the concept of romantic and sexual love. maybe im just tired but i swear to god romance ruins every single book ive ever read (except for one which i posted about a bit ago). even shadowhunters, which is fucking amazing still pisses me off because of the romance element i think im finally reaching the 'im fucking broken' stage of being aroace because every time i hear or read something about romance i just get pissed and being pissed about it makes me even more angry, but at myself because if romance exists so much in fiction, that means normal people like it right? so why the fuck dont i. im not even properly aroace cos i still experience romantic attraction sometimes so why in the absolute fuck can't i not get pissy about literal fiction
