the only other time i've felt this represented by a character was with owen from ‘i saw the tv glow’, so this is very special to me.

i've thought, and probably said, these very words in my life. i know they're selfish, but it's not all they are.

i've struggled for years with my inability to form romantic connections with people for whatever reason. i still don't know if it's because i am avoidant or simply because i am arospec, all i know for certain is it's not easy for me to navigate the world as is. romantic relationships are the very center of most people's lives. humans crave connection and exchange, we are social animals, we need to share our experiences with others in order to feel like we exist meaningfully, and this mostly translates in us reaching for romance. except sometimes, for people like me at least, it doesn't work. you can stretch yourself as thin as you like, try and fit somewhere you don't so as to not end up alone, but it doesn't work, and then it hurts. yourself and those around you. you do love, so much, just not the way you should. and when most people love in a certain way, and want to be loved in that same way, and naturally look to be loved like that—it's very easy to be left out, or at least to feel like it, and to fuck up the way bua has.

the experience of suddenly having a core relationship you were relying onto ripped away from you and thinking it's all your fault for not being able to reciprocate romantic feelings is uniquely devastating. it's a specific kind of heartache that's not easy to explain for me. trying desperately to force those feelings, to regain what you've lost/are in the process of losing, is such a pathetic and miserable endeavour for everyone, and it really leads nowhere in the end. most times, there's simply no way to win—and if there is, it takes a while.

so i'm thankful to boss kuno for understanding and portraying this, along with so many other nuanced experiences, exactly for what it is. something raw, difficult to digest and own up to, a little ugly, and completely human. it's comforting to see yourself in a character and witness how compassionate and loving you can be to them, how understanding. it helps you redirect. if i can look at bua and think ‘oh baby, you're so young, you'll figure it out. you'll be okay’, i wonder what i could tell myself if i found it in me to let go of all the self-hatred i've accumulated over something i could never really control.
