there are two wolves within me. one wants to write original media with canon queer relationships (particularly sapphic ones For Some Reason). the other wants to write original media with absolutely no romance subplots and it’s not addressed.

they don’t even have to both be queer that doesn’t matter what matters is the avoidance of heteronormativity and amatonormativity

#both would have ace aro and/or aroace characters #bc the amatonormativity in media is sickening #and i think that sure the heteronormativity was a bitch but doesn’t mean that a bunch of romances of all types would be better #and i know shipping is fun. i love shipping!!!#but when i was a kid i thought id have dated someone by the end of high school #i havent though. and that’s fine!!! normal even!!!#but i assumed that would be An Issue when really i wasn’t ready for romance #and ofc people get into relationships when they aren’t ready all the time #but it’d be nice to see characters. not doing that.#who are satisfied with friendship or family or their careers #(also the ‘career woman who can have it all’ FUCK that they can have it all without a family)#but there aren’t a lot of queer characters i can relate to #basically all of them came out this year (nick heartstopper and ashlyn hsmtmts)#and for fucking get about queer christian characters #i just want one thing without a romance subplot #i also want one thing with a sapphic christian character #preferably light hearted and hopeful regardless of whether or not that’s my experience #this could play in to the bitchless bi character #but yeah idk #allo people aren’t always in relationships. aro people shouldn’t be erased in media.#looking at you riverdale #both can be happy single #and this should be portrayed
