#stuart super supportive

[cassieopoeia]

Straight up banger from my favorite web novel Super Supportive this week:

Like what the fuck Sleyca the author. I feel so seen and my own stupidity being laid out clearly is really nice!

It’s like validation but in a way that still makes me want to get better and grow instead of trying to hide from the pain I feel.

Mitski’s “tall child” and the person who’s talking (Stuart) are both inspirationally fed up with their own perceived naivety to me. That feeling, one where you are stupid for getting yourself in this mess and stupid for not fixing it/realizing what’s going on, is rough. It’s the heartbreak of a broken golden dream.

Alden is such good aroace rep he meets people and just becomes the best friend they've ever had in their life and deepest confidant. Narratively it works really well because all of his relationships feel genuinely deep rather than just driven by a surface level 'crush' or 'physical attraction' feeling. They don't need to kiss sometimes they just need to sit in the forest and gossip together, thus forming an unbreakable life bond

Aroace character that's well written??? That still experiences emotion and forms deep non-romantic bonds??? That's not a robot/sentient object/other inhuman thing???? More likely than you think.
