I love reading through roleplay exchanges...
specially when the two people roleplaying clearly ship the characters and have them interact with this underlaying tension...
Is...cute. Like, these two people probably don't know each other, yet they are comfortable with expression affection to one another, even if it is through the barrier of playing out roles...
But does that make it any less genuine? i don't think so...these people, maybe in a fleeting way, are capable of communicate and show their fellow human that they're indeed, loved.
idk...i just got kinda emotional reading this one roleplay threat...makes me feel like, in an age of AI and chatbots, we can still look at each other through a screen and say "i see you. i care about you. i love you"
