the writing fanfic to "huh? this doesn't seem like how romance is normally written" to "am i somewhere on the aro spectrum" to "oh god the reason i dont identify w the generic aro label is bc i need a microlabel" to "fuck i need to rewrite this whole fic" pipeline

#mimin trying to write #anyway i discovered the microlabel platoniromantic #which means you cant tell the difference between romantic and platonic love #genuinely never understood why and how people differentiated between romance and strong platonic love #wym you dont want to marry your close friends and kiss them and cuddle them and give them everything you have #no its not romance in the normal sense bc i feel the same way for multiple of my friends at once and if they hv other ppl im not jealous #unless it means they have less time for me #like??? marriage is still necessary bc you do not do this with normal friends. but its not romance?????????#anw tbh ive always headcanoned hestio as being on the aroace spectrum but wtv it is its not platoniromaticism #gg to throw that on him anw tho bc i want romance in this story somehow for The Themes #and its not like i know how to write romance any other way. or i wouldnt have gone down this rabbit hole to begin with #sorry bud!#anyway i guess ill be thinking about how to bring ephael into this #me writing tes/hes the whole time and being like scratches head where is ephael #does not seem right to write so much about hestio loving tesilid and vice versa but not exploring their bond w ephael at all #bc what is the difference...........#but ephael is so hard to write...... idk what goes on in his head...........#hestio is more straightforward his brain is not as twisty #sorry for the sudden personal crisis on my fandom blog #hestio's now a vehicle for me to explore myself i guess. sends him flying kisses youre my OC now #the good thing about small fandoms is that you dont have to care about mischaracterisation as much ig #also the bad thing abt small fandoms is that if you mischaracterise a char you actually will never find out. cries
