Today I came up with the most brilliant solution to the ending of Phantom of fhe Opera which is that instead of marrying Erik or Raoul Christine focuses on her career and then marries Christian from Moulin Rouge after he’s had a few years to heal from losing Satine
look i love love love the narrative that all aro people are more intelligent, cold, sensible, etc than allos but its just. not true. (not always, anyway)
And as much as I love the exasperated mentor/bestie who is above This Shit TM trope
And the cute pure qpps who would do anything for each other and are healthy, loving communicators trope
I want more messy, hot-headed, evil emotional aro rep.
Give me a qpp who becomes a murderer in a jealous rage. Give me a qpp who is a lying shithead with poor communication. Give me a qpp who hurts people when they can't be with their qpp.
Give me Christian from Moulin Rouge level of psycho lover. Give me darklina levels of enemies to lovers. Give me Ten whenever Rose gets hurt level of revenge.
I want the cold evil psycho aro, but add emotion.
If we are going to treat qprs as genuine, respectable relationships that involve intense emotions and complex characters, then we need to let qprs affect our characters in the same way that romantic relationships change characters.
Yes, that means for the better - making them stronger, kinder, more patient, etc.
BUT IT ALSO MEANS MORE EVIL >:)
GIVE ME ASSHOLE TOUCH HER AND YOU DIE WHO DID THIS TO YOU QPRS
