Created to be lovers, forced by society to be best friends and nothing more

[cosmic-espero]

I won't lie Will is a much better person than me because imagine hanging out with himbo extraordinaire Leon Strohl Da Haliaetus under the starry night sky only for him to gift you a seashell bracelet, which by the way later turns out to be culturally associated to romance by the Mustari because your supposed canon love interest literally gives you another shell with a similar function and describes it as a gift wives give their husbands.

And then he tells you he likes you.

And right as you're already planning a summer wedding, the motherfucker adds "like a brother".

Like, I would've ended up on the news.

EMMA RIGBY AS THE RED QUEEN

I told you to hide your heart once. You should have listened.

[calyssmarviss]

bruh why are we trying to rank the pangkey streams lately like can’t we just add them up to make a big pile of gay instead of pitching way too many bad bitches against each other for no reason at all

[cl0wn-tim3]

I wish there was less queerbait and more queer people im ficton BUT why cant anything else every portray subtle romace?? The best part of fictional relationships is the tension before it happens (imo) but so much stuff doesn't have that and if they do its not good- I want them to be CLOSE, not inherently romanticly they just need to be freaks about eachother, they need to be bad at personal space and weirdly emotionaly connected in a complicated way.

WHAT

I have been obsessed with Hans Capon since the hunting quest in kcd1, like literally OBSESSED, in a way that would be very creepy to him if he was a real person😭 (I’m pretty much a stalker to him oops)

I started playing kcd1 because I learned that you could be gay in the second game and I was like okay that sounds fun lol (because I’ve been playing pretty straight games before this), I only thought the gay stuff would be on the side, with npc’s like Black Bartosch (though obviously I didn’t know about him spesifically but you know)

I didn’t even know about Hans Capon’s existense before I got to my first encounter with him in the first game

So like

I’m actually losing my shit rn

I’ve gotten two of those heart with hands interactions with Hans now ?!?

SO YOU CAN ROMANCE HIM?

How is it that I start this game thinking it wouldn’t even be that gay and definitely wouldn’t involve any major characters (except for Henry lol), and then I randomly get obsessed with this twink that is definitely not even my usual type AND HE ENDS UP BEING THE LOVE INTEREST?

At least, that is what I think will happen. Please people do not give any spoilers😭 I just thought this was a funny thing that happened and wanted to share🙂‍↕️ I’ll find out more when I progress in the game👍

I also find it very funny that every other time that heart hands icon pops up the option is almost always very lewd but with Hans it’s like ”you’re my best friend we will get trough this together and I will protect you with my life don’t worry🥰” like they’re being so cute about it😭😭😭 Though, I haven’t tried romancing Katherine maybe her options are similar to those with Hans (I concluded that there are many npc’s you can spend the night with but those two are probably the ones you can actually have a romantic relationship with?)

If they end up being a possible romantic path in this game I am absolutely living for it oh my god this is the slowest slowburn ever and I am a sucker for it

The first time the heart hands option popped up with Hans I was like ”what is that🤨”, then later Black Bartosch invited me to his room and it had the same icon, in that moment I was done talking to Bartosch and decided to dedicate my life to Hans with this new possibility in my sigths👍

y’all those photos are so fucking deceiving I thought I woke up to jikook holding hands in the airport like it was a morning stroll and meanwhile they actually just awkwardly shook hands

Just learned that apparently people had been calling the summer hikaru died queerbaiting as if this is not one of the most devastating allegories for rural queer youth I have ever read

[soigneetcharmant]

currently going insane over a new character i added today

[mongeese]

Kind of hate when I get so obsessed with something that I literally don't think about anything else in large part because usually whatever the media is it's not very good. Embarrassing to say but I'm not sure I've ever been fixated to the point of like, waking up thinking about it and going to sleep thinking about it on something that I actually artistically respect or admire. It's always things that I find fun or even technically impressive but never anything that's thematically interesting. But!! Don't take about my pretentious bitch card yet because once the obsession fades I never think about them again. My actual favorite media are things which are thematically rich and nuanced and well-written. Those ones have staying power in my mind

Lowkey got into empire of the vampire bc it was advertised as lgbtq just to find out its main character isn’t even bi and the main relationship is het + the “guy” pictured was actually his fucking daughter 😭, I wouldn’t mind if it was advertised differently, I don’t see this getting a more queer ending at all especially with how the 3rd book is the shortest, should I just dnf it now??
