falling in love is overrated. i want to explore the mysteries of life without being tied to another human.

enemies to lovers? trash. 

enemies to friends who insist they’re actually rivals and claim to begrudgingly help you only because they have to, but would, in reality, literally go to the ends of the earth for you? god-tier.

Not to come off as homophobic or anything like that but I'm starting to hate romance even more. It's everywhere and put on such a high pedestal to the point where I feel invalid and alienated for not being interested in it. Before anyone misinterprets this post I don't hate seeing people being happy with each other.

mate literally what the fuck am i supposed to do with romance? i dont want you to be romantically interested in me; i want you to love me like you love the stars, to sit with me the way you would at a hearth, to watch me the way you would a flock of birds; i want to be happy knowing i have made you happy, and i want you to be able to do the same; i want you to know me the way you know that time always ticks by - an inevitable fact of life on this earth; i want you to be content, rather than in love.

#aromantic #but not only for aros!! #it applies everywhere with everyone #anyways i was feeling poetic can you tell #romance is overrated #my little pony was right friendship is superior #well never thought id admit that a kids show makes more sense that society but..... #hmm i dont know what to tag this as #original post

I think I might be aro flux, that is my feelings towards romance keeps changing with time, depending on the people involved and other factors but generally it is on the aro spectrum. Sometimes I adore the idea of romance and being in a relationship while other times I'm incredibly disgusted.

Anyway happy valentine's day who celebrate and a happy Tuesday to the ones who don't. Go buy yourselves lots of chocolates before they are gone

We need to normalize giving platonic Valentine's day gifts. Like me and my friend group are doing some secret Santa shit but for Valentine's and I just love picking out the most romantic kind of chocolate packaging I know that when I give it to them they're gonna think we're dating.

#valentine's day #ramble #romance is overrated #chocolates are fun though #platonic Valentine's day

[daringdoombringer]

It is hereby illegal to be romantically or sexually interested in me. I get no bitches and that’s how I want it.

How Damian sees Anya:

How Anya sees Damian:

Anya’s just too young for this stuff/has zero interest in this stuff

Also, the fact that Damian sees Anya fully in his mind while Anya only sees Damian as a snotty, googly-eyed boy who occupies only a teeny-tiny, insignificant part of her thought just adds to the burn pfffft-

in light of the previous anon's ask, are there any confirmed/canon ships in jjk? i just got into the series this year and i've seen a lot of people claiming satosugu is canon, as well as yutamaki.

Kenjaku x yujis dad.

There aren't really many, if any canon ships in jjk now that I think about it??? There seems to be something between hakari and kirara but nothing has ever been officially confirmed.

They are both very popular ships, but neither satosugu or yutamaki are canon. I understand why lots of people ship them though.

I'm not 100% sure but I think a big reason for lots of people saying stsg canon is due to the 'my one and only' line in jjk0, but that is actually exclusive to the viz translation.

The direct jp to eng translation is 僕の親友だ。たった一人のね -> "It was my best friend. The only one I have"

Viz's version, 'my one and only', still technically works but tbh I kind of feel like they worded it like that on purpose, almost borderline queerbaiting, but yeah.

Aside from that the ship does have lots of other things going for it tho! Definitely an important relationship in the series and whether people would like to interpret it romantically or plantonically is up to them. As far as 'canon' goes I'd say it'd be platonic (as of right now with the information we have).

While love is a very prominent theme in the series (the most twisted curse of them all, 'teaching' sukuna about love, ect.) I feel its mostly explored in otherways than romantic. Whether it be familial, platonic, or whatever. jjk is definitely not a romance focused series, so I'm not sure if we ever will see any canon ships explored. I guess mechamaru was heavily implied to have a thing for miwa, but.. . well, we know how that ended 💀

omg so sorry I went off on a tangent there !! I feel like people focus too much on what is and isn't canon. But idk who cares about canon, just ship what you like 💖 I hope everyone enjoys shipping their fave ships and has a good day 👍💖

Also ily satosugu and yutamaki shippers I don't mean for this post to come off as dismissive of your ships I was just trying to be as factual as possible. Ignore me tho and continue loving your ships!!

#ur faves will always be canon in ur heart and thats all that matters #dont care about what that one eye cat says #satofie canon (real) #yes im delusional #okay but like i dont ship anyone in jjk really but .....sometimes i think abt the potential nobamai had..... #like perfect enemies to lovers...... #and nobara and mai share so many interests i feel like they could have gotten along so well and idk in my brain its cute okay LOL #we only do rarepairs here #but like.....open ur brain to nobamai #theyd be so powerful together #I KNOW EVERYONE LIKES NOBAMAKI INSTEAD BUT IM STUCK IN RAREPAIR HELL #thats like the one jjk ship i like LOL #im sure there r others???? #idk i dont hate any im just neutral on most ??????? #platonic relationships r so important to me that i focus on those alot more idk #romance is overrated tbh #love doesnt have to be romantic for it to mean alot #oh god i even went in a tangent in my tags help

i'm like halfway through sos now and i think it's easily gonna be one of my faves once i'm done with it. which. doesn't really surprise me since it's by alice, who also wrote arcanum (another one of my faves). what does surprise me however, it's that she also wrote heaven's secret lol

#like liz said. we all have our flops #not saying hs is necessarily bad but it's definitely way too overrated. sos and arcanum are wayyyy better imo #and now i'm excited to see what she's gonna do after hs2 ends #love that s2 is introducing so many new characters. i'm sorry to stephanie but i'm kissing pretty boys left and right #john is!!! ik how it ends with him but i couldn't help myself. he's cute #also why is cherry so charming. i hate his hair i can't do this #and!!!!! isn't weird to date derek if you encourage your parents to date??? #anyways. loving it so far. idk why i didn't give it a chance earlier #oh. no. i do know. the art #such a disservice to the story tbh #but it's bearable tbh so it's ok #shadows of saintfour #romance club

Im gonna die on the hill that cypher loves chick flicks

He just strikes me as the type of guy into that kind of stuff unironically maybe he cries even watching romances

#dont get me wrong he probably loves his intelectual movies and dramatic mysteries too #but if he has to pick one its gonna be some romance movie with a handsome overrated actor and hes gonna be super invested
