YOU KNOW YOU CAN HAVE INTERESTING DYNAMICS AND HAVE IT BE CONSENSUAL???
y'know i don't know whether or not this directly relates but i've seen sooooo so so many people say several things about soremiku
1. they're a boring ship because there's no serious conflict between them
they actually understand each other, respect each other's needs, fight for each other, stand by each other always, good communication for the most part?? when there's a problem it's always resolved anyway
and 2. they're so Pure there cannot ever be anything remotely sexual going on because iyaaaaaaaa that's dirty, they're Pure, they are Pure Boys and Pure People don't do icky things like have gay sex
both these things have infuriated me lmfao... and i mean okay, if soremiku's dynamic isn't For You, that's fine, but there is NOTHING uninteresting about ~every relationship that is healthy
tbh soremiku's dynamics are very very VERY similar (as in, if mikleo was a girl there'd be NO room for doubt or "they're just really close friends") to the typical tales hero/heroine romance subplot
the reason it's important is that it's canon and two boys
that is well loved by many people
I'M GOING OFF LMFAO SORRY NOAH I'M LIKE... WAY OFF TANGENT
anyway i guess Consensual Healthy Fluff is boring
saying this as someone who's balls deep in aruju and kresnikcest and hell mithos/genis lol all those ships have fucked up dynamics (despite me giving aruju a happy ending because they deserve one)
soremiku does not have those fucked up dynamics but not sure how it makes it any less interesting as a ship
use your imagination guys, trust me if a Consensual ship is just uninteresting and boring then maybe you just aren't creative enough JUST SAYIN'
bottom line, unrelated to anything i've said here: dezel/rose sucks
this is exactly what it is
it also i think falls into this conception that if youre pure and happy and consensual and an understanding adult relationship then everything is fluffy vanilla forever after and its like
if you think that way youre boring, for one thing, and for another, REAL LIFE, ISNT LIKE THAT?
NOBODY JUST GETS ALONG PERFECTLY ALL THE TIME THERE CAN STILL BE DRAMA
and let me tell you i have noticed something.
that all the people who ship dezros because ~~ooooh the edge~~ and DONT ship soymilk because eohhhh its just queerbaiting
HAVE EVER. BEEN. IN A LONG-TERM HEALTHY ADULT RELATIONSHIP.
AND I WONDER WHAT THAT SAYS.
queerbaiting is not a thing in japanese media it does not FUCKING EXIST IT IS LITERALLY NOT REAL
whypipo is the most important term coined ive ever heard
and yeah i notice soooo so so many ace headcanons for soremiku even from people who do ship them anyway and... i'm not getting into the ace headcanon discussion but what specifically bothers me about this
scenario in particular is this ridiculous bullshit idea that a character who has a "pure" personality, kindhearted and caring and very very gentle, cannot be inherently sexual or whatever
give me a fucking break???
and like, i can understand projecting your sexuality onto someone but it REALLY REALLY BOTHERS ME
just because mikleo isn't sucking sorey's dick on screen doesn't mean he has no idea how to suck a dick because iyaaaaa Purity
THAT ITS SPECIFICALLY THE CANON, CONFIRMED CANON, GAY PAIRING IN TALES.
thats what really bothers and upsets me
that and just like, i hate the conception of
when youre in a comfortable healthy relationship, thats boring!
you fight, you argue, you face difficult life decisions
you raise kids you buy a house you own pets you have hobbies
and then, as someone in the kink community, it makes me fucking livid that oh for a couple to be kinky they have to be ~edgy~ like lets be real here, they arent shipping it for dubcon
there's a huge diff btwn projecting your sexuality onto a character you identify with and just deciding "hey these characters are probably ace because, y'know..... they aren't fixated on sex 24/7"
heyre shpping it for the excuse to be able to be like, yeah, they have weiiiiird sex
you know what else? jude is just as "pure" as sorey and mikleo but people have NO fucking problem saying yeah he totally wants to bang milla's tiddies
and you know, like, people in healthy consensual comfortable ltr have weird sex too like, its not all about lack of consent
why? because it's het lmfao
and i just want to shove my fist in my mouth
sex should not be seen as this Dirty thing either, like, ever
and again: never, ever see this bullshit hc with het like jumilla
w/e i'll be over here writing about how thirsty mikleo is for sorey's dick
i hate zesty and dont even really like soymilk that much (both the ship and actual soy milk im a rice milk kinda guy) but im like
i need to write the kinkiest, most depraved, bdsm fetish hardcore smut porn 500% consensual i can
i hope i don't make you uncomfortable or irritated w/ how much i talk about zest and how much i love soremiku and everyone else in the game
no you dont i know a lot of other people really enjoyed it
and i might enjoy the anime more; its the total unplayability with 4p that ruined the game for me as a whole
at and like, the pacing being so miserably bad and the worldbuilding being layered under shitty pacing and dezel. existing.
but theres a difference between you guys gushing about how much youve enjoyed the game and how much you enjoy the dynamics
nd these fucking people on my twitter throwing shade about how good their really really gross dubcon is because its ~interesting~ and how soymilk is ace because ????? it feels right
you know who is ace because it feels right? milla fucking maxwell but nooooooooo she gotta let jude touch her tiddy
milla, who expressly says in canon that she doesnt really understand human sexual relations
milla, who has a very deep emotional connection but no interest in any kind of sexual situation
milla, who is super curious but NOT HUMAN
I REALISED TALKIGN TO JAMES THAT THEY SHP DEZROS FOR THE SAME REASON PEOPLE SHIP REYLO AND IM FCKING DY I NG AND LOSING MY SHIT
lmfao yeah i can 100000% see milla as ace, it sort of makes me comfortable to think otherwise on a personal level
