Never underestimate how quickly I can start crying when I find a surprise aro character in a fic I’m reading

#in a good way. always a good way. #gosh cuz like sometimes it won’t even be tagged and then all of a sudden a character will just say ‘yeah man I don’t want to date. #Like ever.’ And my brain freezes and reboots in a millisecond #and then it goes ‘oh! oh thats—that’s me! they’re here too! Oh fuck!’ And then suddenly I’m crying. #Because I didn’t expect it and it’s such a rare thing that I’m caught so off-guard like… you know what aromanticism is? #and you present it so casually with dignity? And not as some kind of ‘oh well I’ll tag [x character] as aro even tho they only mention it #Once and they’re just a supporting character to the main romantic ship <33’ bs that I’m getting a little tired of in bigger fandoms on ao3 #And anyway this character! Who’s aro! Used to be my favorite! I loved her so fucking much! #You know what I don’t even care. It’s rainbow dash motherfuckers YES I still have #a fimfiction.net acc that I made in middle school. now I go on to read the queer shit #And it’s SO GOOD #mine #just some thoughts #about me #<3 #if anyone really really wants to know the fic for some reason hmu shakhsksjzkjsksjsks #it’s very good queer vibes. tackles some tougher topics like harassment of queer youth
