part of the reason why that cringe ass contemporary romance book i read half of annoyed me so much is one of the leads is a demisexual divorced dad and like. my lodestone oc is a demisexual divorced dad. you come to MY stomping grounds and have a guy's ex wife tell him to his face he's demisexual and he just accepts it? why are they even divorced then. where's the resentment? where's the annoyance with someone who has failed to read you in the past trying to read you and failing (but actually succeeding which is more annoying)? where's the dismissal of the idea that's not how everyone is? come the fuck on

#i am much stronger in that i am able to make my oc... kind of a mid dad who has has actual flaws besides OOOH HE'S TOOOO NICE #also literally the only reason he finds out (in modern au) about demisexuality is the queer kids who like to annoy him keep trying to #get his take on niche microlabels and that's literally the only one he's like 'that's not a thing. that's normal behavior' about #in proper fantasy setting. he never really puts words to it and chalks it up to mostly living among people who aren't his species #like yeah he's only attracted to his partner because they're the only human he's ever been into #and the dating pool in his own species is small so it makes sense that he's only clicked with his two exes #but i know. i know he's demisexual as hell and also. stubborn and unwilling to update his self image #but going back to the book... as a divorce enjoyer. it was infuriating to have this guy have 0% beef with his ex wife #like i wasn't mad they were functional coparents and still friends but they just. did not read like they were divorced whatsoever #no chemistry AND no enmity. honk shoo snoozefest
