#it jumps automatically to “oh they’re gfs. they’re wives.”

#i think I’ve found the reason that #I’m really off put by automatic im*gen and la*dna shipping #and that’s that #it leaves absolutely no room for the complexity and depth #of love that and relationships #and goes straight to basic romance #like #it jumps automatically to “oh they’re gfs. they’re wives.” #when isn’t it even more interesting #to actually look at their relationship #they’ve travelled together for two years #they know each other so well #they clearly love each other deeply #especially la*udna #but #they aren’t in a romantic relationship #and it’s honestly far more fascinating to me #that they aren’t #it’s so cool to see their dynamic #they’re the first people they could relate to in a long time #theres so much going on there #and I hate hate hate #seeing it boiled down to #”they must be in a romantic relationship” #also this is just my weird aspec agenda #to have more “relationships undefined by labels that push the boundaries of friends #and what is platonic and what isn’t” #but I think my point still stands
