#but then u have things like hannigram like. thats never going to be healthy. thats never going to be normal. but theyre FUN

tbh i think that there are two varieties of enemies to lovers when a lot of people consider there to only be the one and thats like. 90% of "are toxic ships valid" discourse. bc everyone who isnt really in the toxic ships business tends to think we all view every toxic ship as an "ok they both hurt each other a lot but what if they would grow past that" ship. yeah theres enemies to lovers that ends in a really sweet relationship and thats fantastic! but some toxic ships really are just toxic. theyre fun because theyre toxic. because exploring character dynamics is fun. something like that

#AND EVEN WHEN WE WRITE OR DRAW THESE PAIRINGS IN CUTE WAYS TRUST. TRUST THEYRE STILL HORRIBLE PEOPLE #i was thinking about burakhovsky again sorry. i think theyre cute. idk #like yeah they need character growth but they could. eventually. be a pretty damn healthy relationship. imo #but then u have things like hannigram like. thats never going to be healthy. thats never going to be normal. but theyre FUN #watching hannibal stab will in that kitchen changed me. i think #which is also why you do tend to see aro people shipping the most toxic fucked up little ships. #i personally am romance repulsed irl and romance neutral when it comes to fiction #so while yeah!! the relationship is cute!!! i cant find fulfillment in coffeeshop aus #it is purely character dynamics that draws me to a ship. that gets lost in the Cute AUs #either way i feel like 90% of toxic ship discourse would be over the SECOND people realized #most of us are here BECAUSE of the fucked up connotations. and we know. especially when ur talking to adults i PROMISE. we know #believe it or not some of us CAN find the difference between fiction and real life #granted im aromantic so the odds of me seeking out a toxic relationship are TINY to begin with #but #eh
