still fully cannot comprehend haters of fictional misunderstandings. i love that shit so much it makes me look stupid. i will read fics about tropes i can’t stand in fandoms i’ve never even heard of just to see some guys with the combined emotional intelligence of a rock fuck up a conversation so bad they wish they were dead

#where was that one post i made about hanahaki a while ago…#also side note but dude i am obsessed with your url #i am delighted to see it every time #but anyway yeah have come around on a few common fic plots just for the specific flavors of psychological torment they can inflict #the total subversion of the concept of soulmates just doesn’t quite hit the same #like ok. ‘soulmate trope as horror�� is absolutely a banger concept and does a good job peeling back the curtain on its darker implications #but those tend to be favored by people who don’t actually Get the appeal. for obvious reasons #people who LIKE thinking about it at length have a capacity to construct emotional saw traps i would never have even considered on my own #and if i’m reading their stuff with double the originally intended amount of horror that’s my business #mumbling
