I really do get the appeal of those really extensive domestic AUs where someone runs a shop or something. The trouble is, it's hard to find that sort of thing that doesn't completely erase the characterisation and the character dynamics. Partially because I tend to enjoy a lot of media where people are fucked up and weird, and AU creators seem to be under the impression that a heavily traumatised person can't run a domestic little shop while experiencing The Horrors and Psychosexual Fixations. Which is bullshit if you've ever met a small business owner.

* “My ship is canon” means your ship is already canon, not “I will make my ship canon by voting this answer choice”.

** “My ship is NOT canon” means exactly what it says, you may or may not want your ship to be canon, depends on which answer choice you vote.

Actually no one should be having sex. All of us are aged-up minors and the passage of time is inherently problematic

I wish there were medieval fantasy written by people who actually found the medieval period interesting

I am STILL learning this.

I'm still unlearning that low- maintenance isn't good, and makes me loveable.

Having needs and wants dosn't make me difficult

Honestly, nothing makes me frustrated with the "historians will say they were friends" thing quite like running across reasonably clear suggestions of queerness in my own work and realizing that they simply aren't that relevant to what I'm arguing about this particular figure.

My internal monologue: "I'm not the first person who's suggested this man was queer. He has a few very intimate male friendships. He was overly familiar in a mutual way with his subordinate officer who became his adjutant. He had a statue of Ganymede at his home. But none of this is relevant because I'm talking about diplomacy and politics and as far as I can tell, these relationships were discreet enough to have no bearing on that. So I'll call it friendship to not go off into the weeds."

I'm not hiding things. I just am not writing a biography and don't have a way to weave this in.
