honestly i just feel so bummed out by amatonormativoty recently. anything im like ‘ooh! this looks good!!’ will normally be riddled with amatonormativity when i actually check it out. ive come across this book called ‘red white and royal blue’ but it looks so... allo. which is odd because it was recommended to me by a fandom where the author of the books in that fandom is aroace. and someone today told me about this tv show called ‘shmigadoon’ or something like that. the main plot apparently is about two people with a failing marriage who get transported into a world of 1940s musicals. except they can only escape through finding true love. a tiny part of me is praying for it to be about them discovering platonic love but i can tell from the trailer and set up it won’t. i’ve not actually rwrb yet nor watched shmigadoon but my brain has just kind gone :/ because of these whole plots about ‘love fixing the world’ or stuff like that. plus there are countless other examples that i can’t even list because that list is too long. idk maybe im just being bitter. all my concerns have just been met with ‘yeah but this person is gay!!’ (that’s still allo you dum-dum) or just straight (haha straight) up ignoring and interrupting me. im barely even out to anyone as angled aroace. so honestly bringing up my qualms just feels like im outing myself or something. also jeez this ended up way longer than i thought it would haha.
