#but NOT in a romantic way

[vanpalmerenthusiast]

parkinglot isn’t romantic or platonic it’s a special secret third option where one is completely grotesquely devoted to the other (who is lesbian wilderness jesus)

Little Snippet of what I'm working on right now :)

"Alright, kid." George crouched down to be at eye level for Theo. "When you get on the ice, what are you gonna do?"

"win." Theo adjusted his gloves.

"And what are you gonna do if someone tries to stop you?" Mémé asked.

"Destroy them!"

"That's my matnaggewinu (fighter)!" She cheered.

George patted Theo's shoulders. "Make 'em cry, kid."

I love this family so much, hopefully nothing bad happens to it-

anyway I'm trying to not be so focused on his backstory because I know people mostly want to read (and what I'm the most excited to write) is him in the Justice League and eventually the batfam, but I'm also trying to make sure you get to learn more about him as a character and a person and not just a traumatized teen hero.

listen i hate to be the "grimdark edgy PTSD au" teenager but can we just talk about dr doofenshmirtz and perry the platypus? can we talk about how long they've been fighting? can we talk about how they used to be coworkers and perry remembers why doofenshmirtz was fired and doofenshmirtz thought it was because everyone hated him? can we talk about how perry essentially listens and helps doofenshmirtz with years of trauma in the silliest kid-show way and prepared him in some strange way for fatherhood? how doofenshmirtz healed his wounds, used them, to become a better father? can we talk about this? im crying

Regardless if we think Mike is gay or bi or pan or whatever, he thought he felt the need to lie (consciously or unconsciously) to El by saying that he loved her romantically and that he felt in love the first time he found her in the woods, to make their relationship seem like this grand super romantic turn of fate, so to speak.

I'm sure he did so because he knew El wanted to hear that, but... What if in the time El was in NINA, she changed her mind? What if El didn't want to hear that? What if she no longer thinks she needs the reassurance of a romantic relationship to move forward?

Hot take and not to be a killjoy or the shipping police but people treating Viktor or Jinx's aroace headcanons as if they were canon is not the revolutionary take people think it is.

Headcanons are always all right but we have to acknowledge that they are somehow damaging when they apply to stereotypes. It might not be the case for everyone but most of the time people unconsciously assume that disability/mental illness=asexuality. These headcanons erase the freedom of attraction from people who are already seen as unable to have sexual/romantic experiences/desires, when it's completely untrue and harmful.

You can headcanon Viktor and Jinx as aroace, but I have seen people changing their minds once Viktor is no longer disabled (s2 with all of his other forms) and Jinx is no longer as mentally ill (alternate universe Powder). And it speaks wonders of how people see these characters.

"I never thought about Jinx being able to feel romantic/sexual attraction until s2!" To believe she's actually only capable of that when she's not "damaged" is incredibly disturbing. Especially since Jinx has always had a bit of a flirty personality too.

"I've always seen Viktor as asexual, I don't know why!" That's fine. You can headcanon him as ace. But I believe there is a reason behind it, most of the time, if for some inexplicable reason the "vibes" of the disabled character are making you think he's ace.

I say all of this being aroaspec myself, by the way. Headcanon all you want but going to people's posts commenting how "it's weird for you that they have romantic/sexual plots when they're clearly aroace" is not a win at all. It's a headcanon, after all, and it should be treated as such, and that's fine. But it also is damaging to spread stereotypes like these.

Of course the disabled character is asexual. Of course the mentally ill character is aromantic. It's not as revolutionary as you might think, tbh.

Fandom is not activism and it's all right to have any headcanons you want BUT some of them are filled with damaging stuff and perhaps we should look into ourselves more before treating these assumptions as something canon.

My headcanon for this is that S1 happened exactly the same way it did canonically, except for ep 22 where in this scenario Jon is just so thrilled about Martin bringing him the worms and finally being useful that he has an out of body experience and kisses him out of nowhere, he's not even in love with him at this point and he has to live with what he did for the rest of the series. He's also that awkward that despite that he still says Martin should live in the Archives for the next 4 months and they can just pretend it didn't happen. Tim and Sasha will not stop joking about how the only way to rizz their stuck up old man at heart boss is by appealing to his academic interest in spooky shit, that's how he'll go down in gossip history.

They just had their first kiss

the issue with shipping aro/ace characters isn't putting them into relationships, it's the fact that no one adds how their sexuality impacts the relationship at large. And how it'll always be different from your average romantic relationship in some way.

i'm one hundred percent certain that after percy and annabeth made out underwater. and he wanted to make their relationship official. the question was not "will you be my girlfriend?" but "can i be your boyfriend?" i don't care what the canon says. percy gave annabeth the space to take the lead in the relationship. because after a lifetime of being abandoned by everyone she dared to care for. and then watching her on the brink of a panic attack at the thought of losing him the last four years. he wanted to honor a new beginning between them by follow her lead and moving at her pace.
