I've never heard of this but omg.

ok admittedly i only read this once in a Black Tapes Podcast fic but it was very good

Edited (i love stupid soulmate aus) 2018-09-25 21:41 (UTC)

Cam and I can't stand them because we're emotionally damaged but that's on us

i read a lot of excruciatingly terrible fanfic for fun

the absolute worst one is the hanahaki disease (or whatever) where you just fucking die of unrequited love. it's AWFUL i don't why people keep writing it

i was fandom semifamous (infamous?) back in the day for liveblogging excruciatingly bad iron man fic

you're just FULL of self-drags today

Edited (no i love this fact about you, you're such a colourful character) 2018-09-25 21:48 (UTC)

of all the terrible things ive said i cannot believe this even ranks

Very tellingly I'm kind of into that more than the concept of magical soulmates

unrequited love being treated as tragic and romantic creeps me out which probably says a lot about me. although i guess i see the appeal since i only enjoy magical soulmates when the characters involved absolutely fuckin hate it

I'd rather die than have someone return my feelings

ooh i love tragic and at least semi-unrequited love and in fact its basically the only shippy stuff im into but im real choosy about it bc if i catch a whiff of entitlement (or any sense at all that the other person is obligated to return feelings) ill ralph for REAL

my first fandom ship was wesley/lilah from angel if that communicates the tone

Edited (ill stop reading if they get together without dying first) 2018-09-25 22:01 (UTC)

Well crafted tormented pining is delicious.

i need a tight lens on the person's fulminant agony as they're forced to repeatedly confront their inadequacies in the company (or ideally, via the hand) of their secret beloved

I hope one day a character of yours can suffer so exquisitely.

im get too embarrassed :(((

You just scolded us for being anxious and were all like ooh I'm too cool to care what happens in shipping.

Edited (go seize your painful plots and make a fool out of yourself like the rest of us!!!!) 2018-09-25 22:21 (UTC)

im get hypocritical too :(((

no tho weirdly its not the shipping part that gets me its the revealing of feelings? who was the person who said that they feel like they're doing a big betrayal by revealing their crushes bc im same but with any moderate-large emotion

Everyone already knows you secretly have feelings Cam!!!!!

Edited (i understand being embarrassed it's ok :c) 2018-09-25 22:25 (UTC)

ME???? I MEANT MY CHARACTERS smh smfh

lol yes i've seen waaaaay too much shit that's like "it's inherently noble and beautiful for this dude to love a woman who doesn't love him back, why won't someone love him like he Deserves"

i don't mind unrequited love obviously it's more of a narrative tone and/or fandom perception thing and i've seen way too much of it slide a certain way with the entitlement
