every time i see the “aromantics are lucky cause they don’t go through heartbreak” i just laugh.
cause when my best friend moved away, when i failed that test i pulled four all-nighters studying for, when my awesome guy friend had to stop hanging out with me because his girlfriend felt jealous, when me or someone else is targeted because of my/their race or orientation or gender, when i realize that COVID won’t be leaving any time soon, when my parents expect me to get married to a man someday and i realize i can’t ever come out to them if i want them to love me, when other people in the aspec community shame me for being alloaro, when i look in the mirror and break down because i don’t feel like i belong in my body, when i don’t know where i’m going in life because i was always told it was supposed to have romance... among so many other things, i feel heartbreak. every. single. day.
but no, heartbreak has to be inherently romantic. because non-romantic pain is somehow inherently weaker or nonexistent. because romantic feelings are the only form of emotion. because losing a friend or a loved one is somehow inherently not as significant as losing a romantic partner, because apparently, aromantic = emotionless.
and honestly? having my struggles invalidated like that is more heartbreaking than ever.
If I’m going to call myself out, then the rest of you are going down with me

sorry, I only play video games made by and for a niche group of autistic people
The one thing I don’t really like about the Joint Training Arc is how class 1B keeps praising 1A. Like, don’t get me wrong, I like how humble they are and class 1A is amazing, but class 1A doesn’t return the compliments.
Like it’s telling us that 1B really is that insignificant. Even in the round class 1B won, and the one they tied, all the participants just lament how great 1A is. Like 1B really doesn’t get a moment to praise themselves. I know Monoma takes the helm for that, but it’s just a way to antagonize 1A rather than a legit form of praising his own class.
Yixing: Why did you just take my pillow and throw it across the room?
Baekhyun: Oh no, I've done a bad thing. There should be a way for me to learn a lesson. *bends over*
Yixing: How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not going to spank you anymore.
Baekhyun: Whyyyyyyyy?
Yixing: Because you never learn a lesson and continue to misbehave. From the sounds you make I'm starting to believe you enjoy it.

Yifan has always been fascinated by parallel universe. But what happens when one day he wakes up in someone else’s body? The scariest part wasn’t that ‘this’ person resembles him. In fact, it is when he found an abused man who happens to wear the exact silver band as his on his ring finger.
warning(s): mentions of domestic abuse and violence
pisces’s take: A
(please do heed the warning above. domestic violence, although not the main focus of the fic, is an elephant in the room throughout the whole fic.)
this took… a turn that i was not expecting, but it was wonderful. i think it’s wonderful that they got their happy ending in the end, despite how they met (despite the history that they share, whatever ‘history’ it holds, at least for Yifan.) and Tao!!!! my lil bub, lil baby, lil troublemaker, i hope he takes care of his fish hahahahaha
As for Kris? well. i hope one day he finds it in himself to forgive the world, because it can’t be healthy for him to be holding such a grudge for the rest of his life.
