[pride] oh are we doing this hi hello I'm your local aro

as someone who isn't fond of green as a color I sure do like green things a lot |D

They’re trying to trick us that romance is real

romance is for fictional characters to feel cozy and also bang

honestly i won't lie there are some days where being aro sounds Pretty Nice, less stressful

it's a fun juxtaposition between writing fictional romances and then looking at irl and going 'I don't understand, is this a thing people actually experience?'

i'd trade with you for a day to let you feel the thing if i could

god this is a mood

like what is it like to experience these things that i'm writing these characters experiencing

Romance is as much a fantasy as having your own pet dragon or magic powers

okay but I just laughed at aro bc Clint 🙃

Megan : lmao

actually I think maybe the series of pride avengers pins I backed on kickstarter ages ago had Clint with the aro flag and I literally just got the pun

handhakes furiously

rest assured I have a longbow aro pin

excellent

I do struggle sometimes even in the fictional shipping dept bc there's always the lingering question of why do these characters love each other and then I pray I'm playing a stupid character (church) who will turn into a deer in the headlights and go 'bc hot??? and nice??? and hot???'

fear not, that's exactly what it's like

some friends also got me aro buttons a few years back aaaaand I got some collar pins that are real good

those pins look absolutely fab omfg

ohh I love the collar pins
