there's so many big posts ive seen where ppl act like polyamory is passé in mainstream fiction and i truly don't get it . 'poly is cool and all but what about the tension of love triangles' ..??? y'all are doing that thing where you spend so long in certain internet bubbles that you trick your brain into thinking the status quo isn't the status quo anymore
