#because with hannibal there’s the added element of understanding and intimacy that doesn’t come with a romantic relationship

recently realized that the reason i’m so attached to angst and queerbait is because that longing is the closest thing i can feel to romantic attraction. romantic fluff doesn’t mean anything to me (if anything it makes me actively uncomfortable) and cutting a story off before it gets to that point is my way of.. living vicariously through the characters, i guess. grief is the closest i can get to heartache.
#there’s joy in being aromantic obviously#but i haven’t fully come to terms w that part of myself yet i think#and it’s sad#it’s sad not understanding the feeling of butterflies when you look at someone and the euphoria or a first kiss#but i just. don’t. feel that#and angst is really the only way i can connect to fandoms#that are primarily shipping-focused#because i just don’t see the appeal of romance without another thematic element woven in#which is why i like hannibal and merlin and similar shows#because with hannibal there’s the added element of understanding and intimacy that doesn’t come with a romantic relationship#and the obvious moral dilemma#and the romance in merlin is doomed and unconsummated and so tightly woven with destiny that it’s impossible to discern the two#idk. i’m tired#will rambles#aro vent#aromantic
