I keep seeing everyone talking about Jayce being the only person capable of saving Viktor. How in every universe Viktor chooses him.
But I don’t see anyone talking about how that means in every universe Jayce breaks his promise to destroy the hex core. In every universe Jayce can’t let him die, can’t let him go, chooses him over his morals, his integrity, his common sense.
These boys are gonna be the death of me.
#jayvik#things I will take to my grave: I’m kinda glad they didn’t kiss#in so much media they kiss instead of hug and the absolute profoundness of them holding each other#leaning on each other foreheads together#was just so much more beautiful to me than any kiss#I find so much inherent queerness in that level of closeness and desperation for each other whether it’s romantic or not is unimportant#it’s the queer platonic sweet point of we are the most important people to each other and THATS what’s important#or maybe I’m just aro#either way it’s gay as far as I’m concerned#Gayer than the actual gay sex#arcane#arcane spoilers#arcane season 2#arcane season 2 spoilers#jayce talis#viktor arcane

being aromantic is like. hey btw you're going to live a life that is the culmination of most of society's worst nightmares. sorry lol ✌️ but then you turn around and take a really good hard look at it and it turns out that living in that nightmare is fucking awesome and you get to wake up every day and take that fear that other people have and laugh and hold it close until it's a great joy for you instead. and being happy is a radical act that you define instead of someone else. and you're sexy as fuck that's just a fact of life i don't make the rules on that one
#aromantic people are just sexy i'm not making the decisions here it's just facts#course ur hot as fuck. it came free with the aromanticism#being sexy is just default settings for aromantic people 👍#hope this all helps. anyway i'm on my 'i hope i die alone <3 i can't wait to die alone <3' kick rn#i think the existential fear that people have of Not Partnering specifically is so. well.#obviously that shit is strong and it is SO awesome to be free of it.#realizing you're aro and you don't Want a partner can be such a hit to the solar plexus#cause society says that's the only thing that'll make you happy. so either you go without that thing or you force yourself#into doing something you don't want which would make you unhappy anyway.#so you think it's a lose lose situation and you have to come to terms with what amatonormativity presents as the worst possible situation#but then! whoa! turns out personhood is inherently valuable in and of itself and romantic partnering is just a construct!#and that nightmare is now your life to do with as you please... define as you will... structure as you want...#best case scenario. is what i'm saying.#every day i wake up ready to spit all that amatonormative rhetoric back in life's teeth by being alone and being happy#and it's so fucking satisfying. every day.#fucking JUBILANT being by myself. and i love being a living breathing 'fuck you' to the romantic system#you need a partner to be happy? oh that's sooo fucking crazy guess i'll go be miserable then. in my perfect fucking dream life lmao#yeah obviously it's the worst possible outcome on earth to die without a partner. so terrible. can't wait for it :)#aromantic#aromanticism#aro positivity#aroace#arospec#sorry to bitches who are sad about not having a partner. i could not give a fuck though get better soon#you couldn't EVER pay me enough to go back to a mindset in which my inherent value wasn't enough by myself.#FUCK that shit. absolutely miserable and a bad life outlook in general. like genuinely do the work w/ amatonormativity and get better#life is something that can be so fulfilling whether someone wants to kiss you or whatever or not#i'm on antidepressants and i have people i care deeply about. what the fuck would i need a partner for lmao

When you think Sun is winking at you but no his eye is just busted :-(
(I was thinking "huh i copy paste the dca's face a lot :-/" so WHY NOT incorporate that in universe with a comic!! The facial changes are subtle but it makes sense this way idk. I'll be drawing them a bunch anyway and I'm a sucker for asymmetry. Next one will be Moon talking abt their eyes too)
Bonus:
Biblically accurate DCA enjoyers rise up <3
#these comics feel like slowburn but honestly we've been slowburning for these clowns since 2021 YALL CAN WAIT#theres a progression sorta i think maybe#biggest inspiration is restinsodaroni's comics tbh their dca/yn content is so!!!! chefs kiss!!!#anw i just have a bunch of ideas between simp y/n and dca that arent inherently romantic#they just think ur a silly billy :-) /aff#fnaf daycare attendant#fnaf moon#fnaf sun#dca x y/n#simp station#simping in the daycare au

I kept debating how to end this short little mini comic. In the original script, they were gonna hold hands (scandalous, I know lmfao), but I didn't think it hit quite right in comic format when I tried to make it longer. Hence why it ends... like that.
Anyways I wrote like a ton of comic scripts for COTL comics that just didn't hit right / I couldn't commit to making and then when driving home from work last week in the pitch darkness I thought about how nice it is to see like actual stars. And I feel like with the cult grounds being kind of among a lot of trees and all that it might take a short hike to get a really, really, really good view of the night sky and stuff. Thus. This.
It's arguably not my best work (I'm out of practice drawing good night skies and all that) but I'm happy with it. Enjoy this thing I made
#cult of the lamb#cult of the lamb fanart#cult of the lamb lambert#cult of the lamb narinder#cotl narilamb#narilamb#(that's mostly for tagging / filtering purposes... this isn't inherently romantic but it can be read that way i cant tell ya what to do)#cotl#cotl fanart#cotl lamb#cotl narinder#also i like the idea of narinder having like. wrist pain and shaky hands and iffy grip strength upon joining the cult?? cuz chains n stuff#im sure someone has already come up with that somewhere else but like. it's a neat concept. the consequences of ur actions and all that#and cuz. like i gave the lamb a lot of my feelings and stuff. so it's narinder's turn and he gets my wrist pain lmfao#but that's a tangent. anyways enjoy this silly comic it was fun to make#the yet untitled qpr narilamb au

later:
teach your local invasive species what emotions are !
i feel like scarab is more into the main plotline of the medieval drama but prismo on the side writes these oneshots between the characters and theyre usually just exploring the characters emotions/ personalities in a free form way. anyways kiss ur local invasive species at dusk
#how tf do you explain what other emotions are to a bug thats only ever known 2#prohibitedwish#this isnt inherently romantic#just trying to show them what hes feeling is different#being this close to someone in a non combative sense ? never heard of it#emotions are difficult n sometimes those wires get crossed#ouuugh the closeness of another person#prismo the wishmaster#scarab the god auditor#the carmine cavalier#sīdus the fallen star#adventure time au#fionna and cake#adventure time

Willow Rosenberg is the type of girl to mock Orpheus for turning around. Bc how hard is it to walk straight and not look behind you? If Willow was Orpheus, she’d easily march out of the underworld w Eurydice, bc she is better than the myths. She’d never even entertain the idea of doing something silly, like looking behind her, not even to check if Eurydice wants to come back. Because Willow is better, and stronger, and she’ll drag her best friend back to life without so much as a backward glance, without digging up her body. Because Willow doesn’t understand what it means to love someone enough to turn around. To turn and face them is weakness, and she cannot be loved while she is weak.
#willow rosenberg#btvs#buffy summers#orpheus#summersberg#willow and Buffy as Orpheus and Eurydice is something so personal to me#I keep saying I don’t ship summersberg and yet here I am#in my defense I just think resurrecting your best friend is inherently romantic

Underrated moments in AFTG that I can't stop thinking about:
Neil struggling to open a protein bar because his hands are burned and Andrew opening it for him without a word exchanged. (disgustingly adorable. i love it.)
Jean (cheeky little shit) stealing Jeremy's racquet and flinging it as far away as he can just to show him he's learned the lesson (this moment made me realize jean might be a natural flirt. jeremy's so screwed)
Andrew calling Neil a little creature. And then a jock (derogatory). (andrew "I'm too cool and edgy to ever be jock" minyard)
Andrew taking Neil with him to the bar every time. (also disgustingly adorable)
Jean learning what a peeler is. (oh jean...precious baby.)
#this is what i mean when i say aftg is full of tiny tender moments#stuff that's not inherently romantic but convey a world of mutual regard#aftg#all for the game#the sunshine court

Confession I kind of don’t like the suggestion that the way in which they will show Mike liking Will is having him constantly worry over him/be desperate to save him from something. The reason Mike & Will work and would be better together than Mike & El is because of their friendship, I don’t want Mleven 2.0 where the only reason people perceive them as in love is because of the life and death dramatics. I want emotional support and strong communication and teamwork between them (I also want flirting like in 4x04 but that’s besides the point). In s3 Mike fusses so much over El making her own choices about using her powers that it suffocates her, she literally has to tell him to stop it and to “trust [her]”. And aside from that all he does 24/7 is worry she’s going to die and/or abandon him, it’s nauseatingly repetitive and says nothing about their actual romantic relationship. I don’t want that for Byler. I want Will to tell Mike “I need to do X” (X being risky/dangerous thing) and for Mike to say “okay, talk to me. tell me how I can help. how are we going to do this?”. Maybe we’ll get it both ways depending on if Will tries to do something really stupid like sacrifice himself, and obviously Mike being a bit on edge in general because of Will likely being Vecna’s main target makes sense, but I just want their relationship to be mostly focused on showcasing their actual bond and why it’s so special instead of forcing this state of panic onto Mike that is too reminiscent of his trauma-induced dynamic with El which is half of why I need that ship to be over in the first place
#byler#it’s not inherently romantic with El so why would it suddenly be with Will? Byler is not Mlvn and we thank our lucky stars for that#it would only work like I said in a scenario where Will tries to do something genuinely dumb like die to save them#now that would be devastating in the best way#like give me that dramatic ass scene where Will is trying to leave & knows he’ll die and Mike is like no tf ur not going anywhere#and follows him outside 😭 let that be the rain scene Shawn was hinting at please please pleaseeeee#adding this to my ST5 bingo actually

[ pointing at two characters having an extremely meaningful and emotionally intimate interaction ] there is just NO romantic explanation for this!!!!!
#there is always a platonic explanation. when you open your eyes to the fact that there is no inherent difference between romantic#and platonic or any form of care or affection or intimacy outside of the way that an individual person chooses to label it#talking#aromantic#aromanticism#arospec#aroace#aro positivity#aspec

i hate to be a Downer but no i don’t think making the tenth generic post abt how ‘true love’ is and always will be the most powerful force in the universe and that nothing else compares gives you a personality actually. sorry.
#aromantic#that trope is sooo fucking lame… and it’s overplayed… and it sucks. sorry.#not to be a cunt! but i am going to say this.#like slay if u love love me too. but no love is not inherently good nor does it lie at the centre of everything ever.#also nor is love the most powerful force in the universe of all time. i mean whatever if u think that idc#but i hate it as a trope! it’s bad. sorry!#hate it when i watch a show and it’s like. then tje curse was broken with true loves kiss <3 romantic btw. in a romantic way.#like we get it you’re in beautiful alloromantic heterosexual love. doesn’t make the trope suck any less#and then people will eat it up and make 1000 generic posts abt why love is the meaning of it all or smth. which all sound the same#sorry. im being mean but u gotta let me be a little mean sometimes it’s for the ecosystem#mossy posts#how to tag this.#lovequeer
