look i love love love the narrative that all aro people are more intelligent, cold, sensible, etc than allos but its just. not true. (not always, anyway)
And as much as I love the exasperated mentor/bestie who is above This Shit TM trope
And the cute pure qpps who would do anything for each other and are healthy, loving communicators trope
I want more messy, hot-headed, evil emotional aro rep.
Give me a qpp who becomes a murderer in a jealous rage. Give me a qpp who is a lying shithead with poor communication. Give me a qpp who hurts people when they can't be with their qpp.
Give me Christian from Moulin Rouge level of psycho lover. Give me darklina levels of enemies to lovers. Give me Ten whenever Rose gets hurt level of revenge.
I want the cold evil psycho aro, but add emotion.
If we are going to treat qprs as genuine, respectable relationships that involve intense emotions and complex characters, then we need to let qprs affect our characters in the same way that romantic relationships change characters.
Yes, that means for the better - making them stronger, kinder, more patient, etc.
BUT IT ALSO MEANS MORE EVIL >:)
GIVE ME ASSHOLE TOUCH HER AND YOU DIE WHO DID THIS TO YOU QPRS
the greatest thing you will ever learn is just to love and be loved in return

[Image ID: three gifs of Christian and Satine from Moulin Rouge:
GIF 1: Christian looking at Satine with longing in his eyes, both of them close together as his gaze flicks down to her mouth then back up again.
GIF 2: Satine telling Christian "You're gonna be bad for business, I can tell" just before they kiss.
GIF 3: A wide shot of Christian and Satine kissing in front of the Moulin Rouge's windmill. Satine's hand travels up his back before she rests her whole arm on his shoulder as the kiss deepens.
The way I describe the 3 principle Broadway Christian’s after Chandelier:
Aaron: absolutely unhinged, his Christian is broken and just goes insane after having his heart broken by Satine, he is the definition of crazy eyes
Derek: desperate, after Satine broke his heart he was just desperate to get her back, he is full of passion and everything he does just comes from a deep place of desperation
Casey: snapped, once Satine breaks his heart he’s just gone, there is no longer a single thought behind those empty eyes other than Satine and getting her back, he’s just a blank slate of pure love and pain
