Btw there’s a BIG difference between a straight person saying “why can’t these characters just be friends:/ not everything has to be gay you guys”

and an aromantic person expressing a wish for more fandom spaces that don’t place unnecessary importance on romance and act like platonic love is secondary

and y’all need to stop pretending it’s the same thing and being aggressive towards aro people over it

I think the “women are mysterious” thing can also come from:

1) Women actually being quite clear, but not telling men what they want to hear.  ”She said she doesn’t want to talk to me?  So many mixed messages and confusing signals!”

2) Women not having cheat codes.  ”I tried being nice, and she didn’t have sex with me.  I tried being an asshole, and she didn’t have sex with me.  Come on, there’s got to be some kind of solution to this puzzle!”

3) Women not being a hive mind.  ”First a woman told me that she likes guys with big muscles.  Then the very next day a woman told me she thinks muscles aren’t attractive at all.  Make up your mind, women!”

4) An individual woman doing something confusing, and instead of asking “why is she doing this now?” men ask “why do women always do this?”

sometimes people who are sad dont always need the “it gets better talk”

sometimes people just want to hear “you are sad, you are trying your best, and it’s okay. you’re okay and you’re alive and that’s a big accomplishment”

because i know for myself unconditional optimism gets really fucking annoying. sometimes i just want to be sad and have it be okay that im sad.

don’t make me feel weirder than i already do in my own skin.

Shoutout to people who can’t stand loud noise because of anxiety or sensory issues or chronic migraines and have to deal with people being unnecessarily loud all the time but can’t do or say anything about it because that’s “rude” and “ruining everyone’s good time”

well maybe a shoutout’s not the best idea but we appreciate the sentiment

“But you’re so talented, why can’t you just believe in yourself more? Why don’t you see what I see?”

To this amazing and talented person, who is so full of talent and creativity. Don’t let others poison you. You’re beautiful. You’re a fighter. You’re a creator. You have reason to be proud.

I believe in you.

one of my favourite things about fanfiction is I can almost always find some way to contact the author, the actual human being who sat down and wrote this collection of words that I love so much and scream at them

and usually they scream back and it’s a wonderful exchange of happy

you just can’t do that with published authors. You can scream, but you’re screaming into a Lovecraftian void and they almost never have the chance to scream back

I love fanfic authors so much. thanks for letting me scream at you about things we mutually love

It’s been put into words.

One thing that made me happy about Rogue One is that there wasn’t a romance shoehorned in there. There were moments where they got close and looked like they might kiss, but I’m glad they didn’t. It would’ve been annoying had they did. As if the audience couldn’t watch a man and woman on screen without them romancing. In the end when the Death Star fired upon Scarif and they watched on the beach as their fate drew closer they got close, and held each other. It was nicely done though. It was out of fear, and relief that they completed their mission, even at their own expense.
