Charles And Edwin Are In A Queer Platonic Relationship, Change My Mind.

I don’t think you guys UNDERTSNAD how important Edwin and Charles’ relationship is to me as an aroace person. THAT is what I want from a relationship. Something such an obvious mix of romantic and platonic and I-don’t-even-know that all the lines blur bc the only important thing is that you love them like you’ve loved nothing else and are so devoted that you would do nothing else but love and protect and cherish them for all your worth. isn’t it the love that matters more than what type of love it is? why do their labels need to be so cut and dry? why does it need to be anything more? why can’t they just be? why can’t they love each other how they want to love each other? why do they need to be anything else?

“do you think it has to be torture, being the way we are?”

“simon, if you punish yourself, everywhere becomes hell”

i think we as a fandom moved on from this scene way too fast

netflix is moving up on my list of opps. if byler isn’t canon in szn 5 on top of them cancelling dead boy detectives, i’m rioting in the streets.

i felt sick while making this (ALSO YES THEY ARE 1000% SOULMATES IN EVERY UNIVERSE, CHARLES JUST MIGHT NOT KNOW IT YET)

i think we need more stories written from parent’s perspectives. i think there is so much untapped sadness, and no i will not be elaborating any further.

actually, let me expand on what i meant when i said we’re all queer. i was thinking about how the aroace community often talks about defining romantic vs platonic love. generally, we as a community seem to agree that nothing is intrinsically romantic or platonic. people experience all types of love differently, which is SO COOL 🫶. furthermore, i was thinking about how, really, everything is a spectrum, sexuality and gender included; the way everyone experiences attraction varies, and everyone feels a different level of connection to their gender. with that in mind, i can’t help but think that since it’s a spectrum, there’s no line that you can draw that says when people become queer enough. bc everyone has their own experiences and is so different, virtually everyone can be considered queer to some extent. i rest my case.

i think mainstream christianity/religion is SO stifling, which is not a novel thought, but i’m saying it with exasperation.

like let’s talk about the inherent gift and spirituality of nature. let’s humanize Jesus, not just someone to be worshipped, but a son and an advocate of the oppressed. let’s talk about the careful craft that God put into each unique queer experience (because we’re ALL ‘queer’ in our own way, fight me on this). let’s actually talk about the history of religion, even the bad parts. let’s acknowledge the innate horror of Jesus’ story and sacrifice.

like the current mainstream interpretation of christianity is so limited and not reaching its full potential. religion can be so beautiful, and i truly want it to be a peace offering and not a weapon in close-minded or bigoted hands.

men are actually so pretty, too bad they also just kinda suck

i think everyone keeps forgetting so let me just remind you that it really is all about community!! ITS ALL ABOUT COMMUNITY!! STOP SAYING THAT KINDNESS WILL GET YOU NOWHERE IN LIFE!! BC WE ARE NOTHING WITHOUT EACH OTHER!! DO NOT LET THE ANYTHING CONVINCE YOU OTHERWISE!!

being aroace is so terrifying bc what do you mean the person i love more than anyone else in the world will never love me the same way i love them. what do you mean they're gonna leave someday to get married and have kids and i might be at their side as their kids aunt or as their maid of honour but ill never be the most important person in their life. i can already feel the heartbreak of the night i lie horribly alone and realize i lost the other half of my soul. i can feel the grief in my bones. it is a tragedy because it was always going to end this way

this man is the epitome of gender envy (coming from a cis female)
