#validating any and every interpretation...

To me, all characters are aroace until proven otherwise. They never explicitly, with words, bring up being attracted to a character or kiss someone onscreen? It's a bit of a stretch to assume they're allo, then, isn't it?

Actually... no. That's not enough anymore. All characters are aroace EVEN WHEN proven otherwise now. They have an unambiguous crush on another character? Lots of aroace people convince themselves they have crushes. Actively horny? Aces can have high libido. Onscreen kiss? They're just experimenting, doesn't mean anything. Could be gray maybe. Gets married and has kids? Comphet. They're confused, haven't figured themself out yet. This marriage can still be a QPR

Hi! I’ve been thinking about Gourmet Hound and specifically Lucy and her tendency to like people who give her food. I was wondering, do you think she’d be on the aro/ace spectrum? Gray maybe?

The only GH character I wrote with the intention of being aspec is Chef Bartlett, but that doesn't exclude the possibility of other characters being aspec too! If you're specifically talking about Ep. 63 - Blueberry Pie, the joke there is supposed to be that all of Lucy's crushes kinda look like Graham, but Joanna, Walt, and Graham are getting distracted by the detail that they gave her food--but that doesn't mean there aren't other interpretations of the scene than what I intended!

like sorry but that is media literacy 101. you can have varying interpretations and every interpretation is correct. but. what is an interpretation? a way to read a text (meaning here any work of art). you do have to read the text. the validity of an interpretation is not measured by how much i or you like or even agree with it but it can be measured by whether or not it is based in the text or at least not actively contradicting the text.

fandom when the character they headcanon as bisexual is attracted to someone of the opposite gender.

this doesnt make sense but im putting it here so i dont forget whfhehf

watching jse's tspud playthru videos again n since ive been in a dbh hyperfixation revisit, ive had the idea of narry being an android but sean got to the bucket and theres the idea of the bucket being a stand in character for the narrator to talk through to stanley (like in the bucket freedom ending its the narrator framing being trapped in the office forever as okay so long as they have each other) but in this android au idea whatever its called thing, imagine if a bucket is similar to what ppl consider androids, like a tool made of metal designed to fufill a task (coughs in "tin can"), with the narrator and the curator being androids, both made to fufil a task (narrating and being a museum curator) but in the museum bucket ending they frame buckets as tools that can be both dangerous yet beneficial to humanity, and the whole "the hanging bucket" instalation stating that its meant to show the 'needed' seperation of buckets and humanity yet its that instalation where sTANLEY GETS TO THE BUCKET REGARDLESS I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS MAKES SENSE AND THIS ISNT A FULLY PUT TOGETHER TJOUGHT BUT DOES SOMEONE UNDERSTAND MY VISION

So I know the quality sucks and we don't get any better quality to compare, but I just wanted to point out that, yes. Baby Carlo has freckles. Very few of them. But you can see the ones he had since he was a wee young lad standing out in his painting.

Go ahead and go into the game and stand in front of the portrait. Compare their faces. I'll wait c:

Here's a full/clean version of his portrait if you want to stare at it

So anyways like I was saying before--
