#c!beeduo are literally so gay and in love

[afmis]

I remember how back in good old 2021 I’d gasp like a victorian middle aged woman at seeing a lady’s exposed ankles /neg at like any form of c!beeduo or beeduo in general being affectionate. Like it could be fanart of c!ranboo like touching c!tubbo’s shoulder or something and I’d be like YOU SINNER ‼️. (Obv I was respecting boundaries bc cc shipping is rlly gross if you do that BEGONE but) It was so funny and mildly concerning looking back how like uptight everyone was abt enforcing the whole platonic. And anyways. Point is I was a huge “platonic anything beeduo” enforcer but now I’m like C!BEEDUO GAY KISS GRAHHHHH 👹 which I think is an improvement. They should’ve been homosexual from the start

[notsoheterosapien]

C!Beeduo fanart in 2024!??!!!?!!?

(I love these gays) (yes I interpret their relationship romantically, sue me)

(Okay I know I’m ranting and that isn’t the point of this post but like when Tommy asked “then you fell in love” RANBOO AND TUBBO LITERALLY BOTH SAID YEAH, AND IT IS SO FRICKEN CUTE INTERPRETED LIKE THAT)

[transbeeduo]

uhh beeduo for the ask game

What made you ship it?: I honestly don't think I know? I went from not really caring all that much about c!bee (I used to be an allium shipper iirc?) to thinking about them a normal amount (like every day LMAO) What are your favorite things about the ship?: GOD WHERE DO I EVEN START. they're so fascinating to me. going from tenative closeness that was shattered in NLM to living in the arctic with their kid. The BURGER ARCCC THE FUCKING COOKIE OUTPOSTTTTTTT... literally everything about them is fascinating to me. I think they r sooo much like, two wayward teenagers that bonded under stress and. and then they fell in love GRAAAGHHH GRAAGH GRAAAGH Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?: they have gay sex 👍

Askgame!!

🏳️‍🌈 - Give your thoughts on the Dream SMP's portrayal of queer/LGBT+ identity.

What a fun question, because beforehand, I hadn't really had much to say about the queer stuff in the DSMP. But that's a good thing, because I think that stems from how normal it is on the server.

Like, let's think about it: Most romantic relationships on the server are queer: the fiancés, Niki and Puffy, Sam and Ponk, and depending on how you view them, Tntduo and Beeduo--this isn't even including the brief flings other characters have had with one another. Heteros are basically in the minority. There is a conglomerate of characters who go by different pronouns and/or genders (Aimsey, Eret, Ponk, Punz, et cetra). The queerness is so integrated into this world. In every narrative perspective, at that!

While not every single person who has a queer character has the same sexuality/gender/pronouns as their character, I heartily accept these streamers playing into a spectrum they don’t fall into. Not only to explore different, spicy dynamics, but also for the sake of, as I said, creating a world that makes it so normal. Because even in modern day, we're not quite there yet.

But with this total normalization, there comes a caveat, but what I find to be a good caveat. It’s that the queer relationships are ones that are flawed and broken. That these people are people who do bad things, even to each other. That their relationship might not end up with a fairy tale ending. Literally every single one is/has been severely damaged at some point. Now, of course, so many friend-/familial relationships are complicated in the server, as well. But that's what makes it so good: they're not afraid to make queer couples shitty.

A good amount of queer rep in other media, specifically for younger audiences--because a big portion of the Dream SMP's viewship is teenagers (though some more adult media can be like this, too)-- prefers to give gays characters happy endings. Mostly in modern day, they’ll give gay characters flaws but still make them good guys (look at all those queer coded Disney villains in the olden days i.e. the Renaissance Era. Though they were THE BEST!!). Bury Your Gays is our beloathed. You won't see a lot of family media have queer relationships that break off permanently or be abusive/toxic or anything too negative, especially so when it's at the forefront of the story. This all gives you an idea of how we anticipate queer media to be presented in the modern era.

But the Dream SMP flips that whole idea upside down. The Fiancés had a good relationship that fell apart due to strained dynamics between one another, especially with Quackity obsessing with revenge and power. Sam literally ripped off Ponk’s arm. Tntduo... whatever the fuck’s going on there. Even the one canon wlw relationship in the server is strained due to their different stances on L’manberg, et cetra (I don’t think they ever reconciled? I don’t recall). We are watching them fall apart before our very eyes, because with these moments, they are the main characters! And none of these couples are happy. They’re all pretty fucked up.

And I fucking love that. It highlights that even queer rep can have couples that aren’t just complicated, but damaged to an irreparable degree. It makes them feel even more normalized, by recognizing that any couple can be miserable or fucked up. Having young people witness that dating your fellow gay won't be all rainbows and sunshine, and in fact it can even be heartbreaking or even toxic, is something I think young people need to see more.

People keep telling me I have major golden retriever energy. At first it was a compliment and now I'm just getting suspicious. Surely this many people can't agree. Surely "golden retriever energy" isn't a universal opinion of me. Everyone must know something I don't.

No but literally c!beeduo being an ambiguous realtionship is so important to me. It's started as platonic, and now it's tentatively cannon that it's romantic, and they have a son and they are husband's and they love each other and they just have such a wonderful relationship. If it's important to someone that's it's platonic, it can be interpreted as that and it fits and they still love eachother and it's awesome. If it's important to someone else that's it's romantic it can also be interpreted as that and they love eachother so much and it's so cool.

I personally lean ambiguous +romantic because I think of them as more kiss averse aces, which I am, because I can interpret tham as that because it fits and I feel like there are characters in media that are like me which is so cool.

It's just so special to me to think of them as this inbetween because their love is this beautiful, wonderful thing that's just a little bit more than friends but they don't really need or want to define it as romantic, and however you look at it, they love eachother so, so much.

c!beeduo are husband's who love eachother to the ends of the earth, in their own beautiful, special, wonderful, fluid way, and they defy expectations by not quite defining it, and giving the room for people to interpret it and feel connected to it whatever way they wish.

They are husband's and they have a son and they all love eachother so much.

hi, i've been trying to get into reading /r beeduo fics but its been sorta difficult cause i've been worried about reading/coming across fics by people who actually ship the cc!s, so i've avoided the relationship tag. so, since you seem to know a lot about beeduo, i was wondering if you had any good fic recs for them?

[relaxxattack]

hi im asking u this bc u seem to be bee duo enthusiast so

ive been calling c! beeduos relationship platonic because i thought that was what their cc’s said, and i thought they had said that they were uncomfortable with ppl shipping the characters. But ive seen a lot of posts that say their relationship is canonically romantic? and i absolutely do not want to come across as homophobic by watering down a mlm relationship to just friends because that happens so much in media so.

what is the canon state of their relationship / ur opinions on the platonic thibg

dont worry abt answering if u dont want to!! i see a lot of differing opinions and i trust yours :)

aw it’s totally fine, im flattered you asked me about this!

let me put it simply: it’s a whole mess, lol.

first im going to talk about what’s happened fandom-wide that caused differing opinions, and then i’ll explain my own opinion/interpretation. :]

(this got really fucking long im so sorry)

ranboo and tubbo initially proclaimed the relationship was romantic, specifically in argument with the wiki editors who had set it as platonic by default. (you can see this in the vod where they decide they’re canonically married— it’s very funny. chat tells them the marriage is already on the wiki, they check, tubbo is jokingly offended that it says platonic and asks if he needs to up the romance).

tubbo also makes jokes about adultry, which sort of implies the relationship is not necessarily a platonic one.

(theres definetly more in that stream alone but it’s been a long time since i watched it so i don’t remember a lot of it.)

the wiki, because of this, suffers from going back and forth on platonic and romantic, seemingly unsure where the joke ends and the canon begins, or if its canonically a joke! a mess, as you can already tell.

this gets more complicated as the marriage bit goes on: outsiders, such as phil and scott, both at one point say “platonic marriage”, which then ranboo and tubbo agree with. however, when chat asks them if they’re platonic, they say the opposite. so there is a lot of confusion there.

there’s also the difficulty of being able to tell streamers and characters apart. ranboo and tubbo both don’t like being shipped irl, and that’s their boundaries that shouldn’t be crossed. (they’re also minors, but tbh when they’re 18 in a year i will still be following their boundaries regardless of their legal age).

due to people not wanting to be accused of minor shipping, they started adding the platonic tone indicator to most of their drawings— basically a way of saying “no homo”. meanwhile, tubbo frequently on stream flirts with ranboo and makes quite a bit of nsfw comments towards him that are frankly hilarious.

this goes on for a while with nobody really sure what’s canon, but a lot of people assuming it’s probably platonic, until: the drama of the mods night. a few mods dmed all the wiki editors telling them ranboo wanted his canon character relationship officially set to platonic.

unfortunately for those mods; the very same day, a few hours later, ranboo on stream makes fun of puffy delivering him and tubbo “friendship flowers”. because, and i quote, “bruh. we’re literally married. this must be how the ancient greeks felt.”

in case you don’t know, the internet often jokes about how historians will call ancient greeks ‘very good friends’ when they are quite obviously gay. so in this context, ranboo is joking that people will call him and c!tubbo, who are married, “close friends”, when he doesn’t think they are.

basically, ranboo canonized romantic bee duo, the very same day the mods told everyone he’d wanted a platonic one.

chaos and drama immediately erupted everywhere. on tumblr, we were talking about how weird it was of his mods to do something like that without asking him first. we ALSO talked about how weird it was of them to assume that ranboo can’t make his own decisions, or assume teenagers cannot be in relationships without it being sexual. twitter did the same thing but in the opposite direction: called ranboo mods homophobic, or said they were mad ranboo felt pressured into making a romantic relationship canon ‘just so people could have mlm rep.’

i dont want to go into detail about the drama that happened that night because apparently official people follow me and i dont want to stir it up or have them come “clarify” things. im just saying what we talked about.

ranboo in typical ranboo fashion apologized quickly and seriously. he was deeply sorry for possibly offending anyone with how he’d portrayed his rp relationship with tubbo, and he also assured everyone the mod thing was just a miscommunication.

he said he would talk to tubbo and they’d decide once and for all whether it was platonic or romantic, and then announce so everyone would know.

it’s now been a few months and we've had no word from them on that development. we still have no clue.

-

now, here’s my opinion:

i want to take ranboos word for it that it was a miscommunication with his mods, but... we had it on good authority from people on the wiki team and people in the discord with the mods that (while it was happening) they were really going after the wiki admins, and also made some weird comments about it. that combined with the way ranboo seemingly had no clue (considering he canonized their romance that very same day).... it’s very. sus of the mods.

then there’s the canon we’ve got since then. although occasionally adults in the room have called it a “platonic marriage” and tubbo once (back when it first started) called it a “plankton tectonic” marriage, in roleplay it’s been... kind of not that. tubbo and ranboo make nsfw jokes about each other in character, and their characters also share a master bedroom and bed in the mansion. there's also the way c!tommy really thinks it’s a romance between them as well, and they agree with and play off that— for instance confirming that they “fell in love” when he asked, or ranboo confirming that they “make out on occasion”.

people will still put platonic on their art and posts, imo, because they’re worried about breaking ranboo and tubbo’s irl boundaries by looking like they ship them. or even just being accused of shipping real life minors. and that’s a valid fear to have.

the thing is though: c!bee duo are not cc!bee duo. they’re roleplay characters. cc!bee duo are not okay with being shipped, but they made their characters get canonically married, and call each other “husbands”. so it’s okay to write the word “husband” in your comic without adding “platonic” to it, i promise.

telling the ccs that their characters have to be platonic is... weird. it comes off as not only babying them, but also as saying teens can’t date without it being gross. which isn’t true.

(this is why seeing people overuse “platonic husband” so much bothers me. like, they ARE husbands. you can just say it. what are you trying to hide...?)

-

do i think they’re canonically romantic? ehh, its likely. it’s still okay to interpret them as platonic, because again, it’s hard to tell where jokes end and roleplay begins. like, maybe it’s jokes in the rp too, and c!bee duo are just friends. friends can and should be allowed to make jokes like that with each other! aro & ace marriages exist!

or, maybe it’s actually part of the rp, and they’re very much romantic. we don’t know!

some people say they could be a qpr (queerplatonic romance), which i could see. (a qpr is a relationship that fluctuates between, or can’t quite be sorted into, “romantic” and “platonic”. people in a qpr can do romantic things while having platonic feelings for each other). in my opinion this is a very valid interpretation as well!

-

CONCLUSION (sorry this got so long omfg):

are c!bee duo romantic?

its likely, but you can still interpret them however you like!

should i put /p on bee duo content?

ehhh? i find it annoying when it’s overused (as do others), but if you’re worried you can. its up to preference. putting it too much is weird though

should i put /p on things cc! bee duo do?

no. you’re not the one saying it so you can’t decide the tone tags for that. imagine you said something to your friend and a random stranger came up and was like “haha but that was /p right...?”

can i ship c!bee duo?

mmm. i’m not sure on this one. they are canonically married and very flirtatious, but the ccs don’t like being shipped and they’re close enough to being the ccs that actively shipping might be against boundaries.

can i treat c!bee duo as romantic?

yes. literally just don’t be weird about it. it’s not that hard! you can understand that two characters are husbands without making it weird

here’s the most important thing: boundaries. cc bee duo still haven’t told us what their preferences and canon is about this whole thing.

right now, i am assuming based on what they already show us they’re comfortable with, but! the second they give us any more info! all these opinions will change!

i am only going off what they do. i would never want to cross boundaries at all. i just wish they would make theirs a little more clear.

..... i hope that helped anon, i went way off the rails... i need to go to sleep.

[xmaruu11]

Broooo the r/sapphoandherfriending of c!Beeduo got me thinking about the people who do the /p on a relationship that is very obviously qpr or ace-romantic with the connotations of them being "just friends."

qpr people aren't "just friends" because they experience platonic attraction rather than romantic or sexual attraction (i should know i'm in one). ace people in aro relationships aren't "just friends" because they don't fuck. the acephobia surrounding the "IF YOU IMPLY THAT THEY ARE ROMANTIC AT ALL I WILL OFF YOU BECAUSE THAT'S SEXUALIZING THEM" mentality that many c!Beeduo fans seem to have is just. oh boy. this extends to the fact that both of these characters are so very gay.

like so many people want to pretend that their marriage is just strictly platonic, for a joke, for tax reasons, etc, if they even bring it up at all. but like. it's there. it's very very real. it's far more than what's on paper. and your internalized homophobia and fetishization of queer men is making you actively erase some VERY GOOD FUCKIN REPRESENTATION.

they are married. they adopted a child. they commissioned a giant mansion. they go against things that define them for each other: c!Ranboo always choosing c!Tubbo's side and even threatening violence to those who hurt him, or c!Tubbo making an alliance with someone who killed him once when he realizes that c!Ranboo is dead. The fact that both of them are willing to drop everything for each other. The fact that both of them lack the ability to open up about their trauma, despite the other knowing something is wrong, and staying anyway because they CARE and want to HELP. The fact that they trust each other, despite being taught over and over again by the life they live in that to trust someone is to set yourself up for disappointment and heartbreak.

they are in love. this is literally some key definitions of love. whether it's romantic or platonic, pretending they're "just friends" (not saying friends cannot love each other like this it's just so so obvious they're more than what "just friends" implies) and acting like the marriage isn't there erases a huge chunk of who these characters are.

Their motivations, their fears, their conflicts, all of it ties back to one another in some way because of the nature of their relationship.

but to the eyes of far, far too many people, their canonical more-than-friendship will always be severely reduced. Because two men being in love is automatically sexual, and sexualizing them is bad /s.

hhhhh sorry for the rant i'm just. very very annoyed.

!!!

[jaymesdoodles]

idk how to talk about this but like. I love /r c!beeduo and stuff like I think more people are totally becoming more and more okay with realizing that cc!beeduo are okay with it. It was never really a problem. but there's the thing. I'm scared Shitless about what could happen if twitter ever found out. I'm not like other creators with a platform where if they get attacked or have callouts people WILL back them. They have a following. I've seen big artist get (wrongfully) called out and get back on their feet but someone small? yeah they don't manage as well. So I'm scared. Like you might be like "well stay on tumblr" and I am! I only ever talk about /r c!beeduo when I'm here but that's the thing too. I'm a content creator. As much as I'm a fan. I'm a content creator too. I am working on becoming a streamer and stuff. And one wrong move could jeopardize all of it. Like when the whole knifetrick stuff happened... I deleted everything on here which sucks now bc the art I made isn't on here. But I was so nervous about being added to a thread or something... Like I remember drawing c!beeduo on my twitch like two months ago and a bunch of you came over and I loved it but I was less nervous about the amout of people watching and more about if the wrong person would watch. People are fucking vicious on twitter and they don't discuss ANYTHING they make a thread or something and next thing you know everyone hates you. Like you think it wouldn't happened to someone small but I had a friend make joke dnf art (around the time people were doing it for likes and shit on purpose, it was a bit) and I commented "get your clout" Then someone in the fandom we were in before made a post saying me and my friend were sexualizing mlm/nlm (me and my friend were bisexual and liked men and literally nlm, besides that) we were both blocked by mutuals and Friends, kicked out of gcs and lost over 20 followers... it sucked. like a lot. That was over DNF. YEAH. DNF. so I cant imagine the wrong person finding out I interpret c!beeduo romantically and just decided to have a heyday...

tdlr; I don't want to get people mad at me or get a callout post because I decided that someone's minecraft roleplay characters are in gay romantic love. And I have incredible amounts of anxiety so Idk of this is even logical or just me being paranoid

[memryse]

perhaps... how do you feel about 3L flower husbands? for the duo bingo game!

wtf… gay little hobbitses

this is the one pairing i can’t even comprehend as platonic like they are literally in love. i’ve read fics that wrote them platonically, back before we were all entirely sure that cc!fh were okay with ship fics, and honestly it was really odd to read. came across as almost awkward ?? even tho i’ve read platonic marriage fics before like c!beeduo but fh really only work romantically for me lol

i think there’s nothing i can say about them that hasn’t already been said before, but yeah i love them a lot 🥺 that appreciation has definitely only grown with empires because i am a total sucker for the “we will find each other across universes and fall in love in infinite different ways. we are fated to love one another” trope (and the same trope platonically) and fh are certainly no exception. living in their own safe corner of the world, walls blocking out the pain and bloodshed going on around them… it’s so sweet in such a sad way. of course they know it’s a farce, that it’ll end eventually. they’re just choosing to live in peace a little longer until their enemies come to break down those walls. but right up until that point, they’ll keep up that facade.

also it’s the little things with them. like scott is a very lawful good sort of player, i’ve discussed this before with my LL!scott analysis - he doesn’t break the rules, he’s loyal to his friends at great cost to himself, etc. he promises a villain arc that never really comes. but once jimmy dies, scott goes off. gets kills when he wasn’t before. his killing bigb, for example, was the one death where martyn rightly questioned if it was actually within the rules or not, because he pretty much marched into bigb’s house and executed him point blank as a non-red. he grieves so much.

in short: yes <3

[rosysugarr]

god dsmpblr is so much fucking better than dsmptwt. I keep seeing shit on here that is like. good and true and accurate but on twitter you'd get fucking nuked from space for even implying it. but here you can literally just straight up post shit like "ctubbo is gay" or "c!beeduo is in love" and you DON'T get dogpiled into oblivion and people even reply in agreement. as a refugee from dsmptwt you guys are the true heroes of this fandom honestly

[elytrafemme]

Hello, It Is Galaxy who just finished the new chapter of Cough Syrup! In your own words, you described this chapter as, "a bit eh" and to that I say, what are you talking about??? It was AMAZING!!! What specifically? Several things! So you know it's time for Galaxy's barely organized essay of thoughts :D Tubbo's pov really shone in this chapter, oh my gosh. He focused so heavily on blaming himself, and it was so painful to read. Tubbo sees himself as personally responsible for literally being an orphan, for Schlatt being an alcoholic, and for being traumatized. He internalizes so much self-hatred, and despite the fact that for chapters in his pov we know what he's thinking, the way you write his thoughts and spirals comes off as so repressed. Honestly, it's amazing how well you've portrayed that, and Tubbo outright thinks all the worst things that could will happen to him and it still feels like he's holding so much of his pain back any way he can. He's such a tragic character in how much he cares about everyone in his life to the point where he puts all of their problems on his back like they're his responsibility. The idea of abuse cycles Tubbo fears continuing is so well written as to what abuse victims of all kinds worry about, and he's so certain about it, even when the mere fact that he worries he'll become abusive is a clear reason as to why he won't head down the same path. He's so suicidal in an inactive way, and that came through so clearly with how much death was mentioned here. Tubbo literally chooses to be apathetic out of his own paranoia for his "certain" future, and it's so heartbreaking. Even though this is a modern au that is canon divergent, your c!Tubbo feels so conclusive and messy in a way that matches brilliantly with dsmp!tubbo! Chapters in his pov are always so painful to read, and they never disappoint!

Is it time to talk about fruit salad? (/j) Anyway as always beeduo in this chapter were SO GAY. I literally wrote some variation of "GAY" in my notes for this chapter a total of 3 times, that was a fourth of my notes. Regardless these two are so hopeless and sad. In my own words, God you both are so emotionally empathetic and emotionally dumb as hell at the same time. How it's becoming harder and harder for Tubbo to be able not to have Ranboo in his life was subtle, but I kept thinking about it. He helps him through his grief, when he goes non-verbal, will outright take him anywhere he wants. And Tubbo not only thinks he doesn't deserve that, but thinks he'll die alone before that life with Ranboo could ever happen. It's so sad, and the longing is always portrayed so well. The fact that Ranboo is feeling (a little) more comfortable with physical touch involving Tubbo was so cute, and reminded me how touch starved I am. The scene in the car/school parking lot, god Ranboo is such a dork, the first part of the library scene, the park, and most importantly, Tubbo just getting Ranboo to talk because he loves the sound of his voice, were also such great moments! The love they have for each other is so real, and they both are still so clearly holding back, the imagery, the tone, it's all so well conveyed! And of course, my favorite beeduo lines in this chapter were easily, "Ranboo could read out every word of an encyclopedia and Tubbo would keep listening." and "You make everything better." (Honestly that whole driving to the park scene was just so great) SO GAY OH MA GOSH.

It is time for me to rant about Quackity and Tubbo's talk in this chapter. SO GOOD. JUST SO GOOD. Reading from the perspective of a child who would rather bare the responsibilities of an adult involving death over dealing with those feelings himself? Phenomenal. Reading Quackity desperately angry and trying to convince Tubbo that he isn't responsible for what happened and that he shouldn't have to think like that? Perfection. they care about each other so much, but they show it through anger, through yelling, and through the deliberate act of not sugarcoating anything. And it's so painful to know Tubbo's wrong, but to also know that Quackity doesn't have a single clue on how to help him understand that he isn't responsible. Also, the parallels that Tubbo was using with Ranboo and Quacity were so good, especially after their conversation in the last chapter. Their dynamic is always written in a way that makes me feel like the conversation is something that needs to be survived, and its wonderfully tragic.

Tommy and Tubbo. These two always hurt me in the smallest ways. Tubbo can read him so well, and prioritizes him in so many ways, willing to try to solve his problems himself, and not to ever burden Tommy with his own struggles. And here, the way you handled the talk they had about Dream was so well done. The fact that Tubbo would drop Ranboo in an instant if he knew Dream was a bad person just shows that cs!clingy duo are family in the most important ways. They are imperfect, but they care about each other, and at the same time keep their distance, but they're brothers; it's all so well done! I'm so excited to see how this will continue, and there are so many mysteries (involving the nature of both Fundy and Dream in particular) that I can't wait to see explored! My favorite quote in this chapter was easily, "Ranboo lets go of Tubbo’s hand and gives him a smile, and Tubbo doesn’t understand how Ranboo can stand looking at him as if he’s anything more than a catalyst for someone’s death." It was so raw and painful and oh my god get Tubbo a therapist, please. Your imagery and analogies never fail to blow me away! Well this is probably the longest one so far, oops! I hope you enjoyed my ramblings anyway. You never cease to impress me with your writing, and this chapter had so many good scenes. (I'm considering drawing one of them, but we'll see) Thank you for the amazing content, and I hope the rest of your day is awesome! <333

GALAXY WHAT'S UP!!! i'm glad u liked it :D!

i already know that this ask is going to have me fucked up /pos i'm SO so happy to hear that the way i write him not only resembles the conflict that c!tubbo faces, but is also written in an accurate way. cycles of abuse are something that i've thought about a lot over my life because i think there's so much pain held within it, so i've always done my absolute best to portray it respectfully and i'm glad i've done well.

THEY ARE GAY!!! i'm so happy people liked the gay scenes in this chapter, and i'm incredibly excited for later chapters where they are a lot less sad and a lot more queer, it's going to be so fun seeing ppl's responses. anyway they DO love each other a lot you're so right and it's really fucking tragic at the minute, but i think their love isn't intertwined with tragedy rather just laying within it, and once they can move past the pain in their lives, they can pick up their love and take it with them :] here's hoping anyway!

"Their dynamic is always written in a way that makes me feel like the conversation is something that needs to be survived [...]" i need you to know that this is one of the biggest compliments i could have received for my writing. like you have no idea how much that means to me.

man the cs!clingy scene was nervewracking so im glad people liked it HAHA, i was very worried people would be upset by it but i'm glad people view it as realistic albeit very sad. it's a messy sort of thing.

you are so fucking kind galaxy thank you so much <333333 i appreciate you this means so much thankyou thank you
