For Aromantic Visibility Day I present to you the different story drafts that mini me came up with back in middle school and early highschool when I didn't know about Aromanticism.
Anyone is free to use them but please @ me I wanna see where these go.
Hanahaki AU where everyone is automatically born with buds but the buds change color depending on the type of love that you're feeling. Flowers consume you if you don't confess your feelings but you won't die if they aren't reciprocated. Our MC's flowers have yet to change from the pure white that everyone is born with. She has never felt romantic love. In an attempt to understand it, she runs a club at her school to help her peers with their love troubles. (Sidenote: I did a lot of research on flower names and meanings and I never saved it to the Google Doc. But each person has a different flower type that grows from their wrists. The flower type represents their personality.)
A mother sabotaged her daughters romantic relationships because all the men that she keeps dating are only after her for the kingdom. She tries to use her powers to teach her daughter the pains of love to try to encourage her to stay by her side. Later the daughter finds out and decides to just give up on love entirely much to her mother's relief. (Mother was hella toxic but yeah 👍🏽)
I actually wrote out this one for a creative writing class. A story set in an apocalyptic world where most of humanity has died from a genotoxin that was created as a biological weapon at the onset of World War 3. (I wrote this in October of 2019 I kid you not.) She has never interacted with anyone for 7 years after her parents left her in an underground bunker to help find a cure for the neurotoxin. (They die.) She only leaves to look for food and supplies. One day she meets a grown woman while out and after growing closer to this woman, much to the woman's chagrin, she finds out that the woman is the one who created the neurotoxin. This woman wanted to cleanse the world of impurities (yadda yadda villain speak). The woman kills herself and the MC finds out that there are more people that are a love and she sets off to find them. The end. (What does this have to do with aromanticism you ask? No romantic lead. There we go.)
I also wrote about a woman who kidnapped a child to raise as her own because she had no intention of ever getting married. She and her daughter are constantly on the run to evade the authorities.
I was really into Hamilton in 8th-9th grade. I wrote a flash fiction about a girl who fell in love with a boy who her sister liked. Heartbroken and all that jazz she becomes really good friends with her crushes friend who likes her sister. They cope with their unrequited love together and stay close friends. (Her sister and her ex crush break up in the end.)
A girl stays in an eternal prison because of love.
A girl who gets out of an abusive relationship decides to date the player in their school. Her friend warns her about how he'll treat her really well but break your heart in the end because he wants to show his love to as many women as possible. He never dated a girl for more than 3 months. They break up in the end but the girl cherishes the time that they have together.
Two immortals have found one another and decide to explore and discover the world. They find that they are actually from the future sent to prevent a calamity from happening in the past. (No romantic relationship in this one either.)
A story about two rogue assassins who aren't in love with one another but they are close partners who can rely and trust in each other like lovers so much so that people always assumed that they were in a relationship.
A group of female warriors set out on a quest. (That is only one of the many found family plotlines that I came up with.)
Lord some of these are horrific. A common theme I'm seeing in these Google Docs is if it's a love story it always ends in tragedy, most of my main characters are definitely neurodivergent, and the real plotline is the family that we found along the way.
Anyways
Happy Aromantic Visibility Day

ok I don't think we as a fandom talk about the way Vash cries blood enough
we only see it once or twice from what I remember, the one definite time being here ^ when the puppet attack first begins & he's dealing with the emotional agony of seeing so many of his family turn into puppets.
so it's clearly something that comes out only when he's in severe emotional distress.
the interesting thing is that Wolfwood is fucking TERRIFIED of him bc of it.
whatever this moment is, Vash is giving off the same sort of oppressive energy that Wolfwood's experienced with Knives. it's the first time during their travels that he's really been forced to recognize What Vash Is. he knew it of course, saw him in Jeneora, but he's such a goofy guy it's easy to forget.
but whatever Vash is doing here, it makes Wolfwood Incredibly aware of what he is.
so the real question i think is What exactly is going on here? is it unintentional? is it simply a response to the emotional agony?
Vash isn't the type to indiscriminately terrify everyone in the vicinity on purpose. he wouldn't be doing this purposefully out of anger while Wolfwood's there. no, in this moment, he's not even angry at all. he's Distraught.
going from This
to this
in just a moment.
yeah. that's some fucking emotional agony. i dont think Vash is doing this entirely on purpose.
but THEN...
as both Leonof and Wolfwood stare at him in fear, Both feeling his oppressive energy, Vash then lets out some sort of blast that blows against everything between him and Leonof. it doesn't destroy anything, doesn't even injure him, but it's a physically tangible effect that scares the Shit out of Leonof & spurs him into motion.
there may be some anger involved in this moment, but it's not the hair-trigger rage you would expect from seeing his family turned into puppets. it's something Quiet, something almost cold. he's distraught, Resigned, & retaliating just because he has to.
Vash hates all of this. he doesn't want to fight him. he fucking Knows this guy too, knew him as a kid, & none of this makes sense. but he knows that he needs to fight him, & doesn't have any kind of choice.
but he's not happy about it. not in the slightest.

Living with Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors
Me: *Is super stressed over life.*
Trichotillomania: Time to pull some hair! C'mon. You won't even notice you're doing it. It'll make you feel better.
Me: NO. *Spends 4 days putting hair in a mini twist protective style* There.
Dermatillomania: Hey. Your hands are free. And restless. And dry... Pick your skin. Bleed. Bleed.
Me: Stop! *Starts up a new crochet project to keep hands busy.* Ok cool.

"… I've offended you."
"No! No, not at all, I just —" Jillian frowned. "Can you do that? Isn't it forbidden?"
Mother Superion raised an eyebrow.
"Kissing other women?"
"Yes! Or is that by any chance devoid of erotic connotations amongst nuns?"
"No, it isn't… Are you planning on telling on me to the Pope?"
"What? No! Why would I do that? I'm just confused. You took vows, didn't you?"
"I did, but it almost seems as if you had."
"… Did I irrevocably fuck this up?"
"Do you want…?"
"Yes. Yes, please, just shut me up."
And Suzanne obliged, kissing her again.

If wukong told (lied) to macaque that he never cared about him, do you think that would make macaque even more aggresive or like shut down/be the final straw that finally makes macaque let go of wukong
so, just like my answer for whether macky would willingly erase swk from his life, I think this answer also depends on when in the show swk told macky this, and what better way to explain this than by going through each outcome per season :)
UNO
looking at s1, we meet a Macaroni who is very hellbent on killing (or at the very least, heavily damaging) SWK because he feels like the guy never truly gave a shit about him (<- my interpretation). thus, it is safe to assume that if Wukong were to laugh off Marnolo's hurt and anger and tell the guy that he never cared, Mac&cheese will only feel that his current assumptions of SWK are correct and that the guy only cares about himself and his image.
would he feel hurt about it? oh absolutely. maybe punch a wall, destroy the "dojo" he allegedly lives in in an outburst of power and anger. maybe scream and cry but be mad at his own tears (begin to wipe them away but is too hash so he scars himself and then can't stop bc he's very self-destructive)
DOS
technically, Wukong is MIA so this would never happen. BUT! have you considered!!! Wukong telling MK that Macdonalds was just some guy from his past, nobody super important, basically a nobody he wronged in his long list of enemies. which MK might possibly parrot back to Macadoo in 2x07
heavens above Marconi would be pissed.
forget trying to be a dick to MK and "teaching" him that his path of emulating Wukong has already made him forget his friends (untrue, but this is what i assume was Macky's interpretation of MK's actions since the guy didn't actively search for his missing friends, who MK thought left him on purpose).
nah, Macky is hunting SWK down. he is out for blood because "did i serious mean so little to you? were our nights under that tree sharing secrets, dreams, peaches fucking nothing to you?" (and idk....maybe after the air clears out, possibly, macky would realize SWK's true reason for being MIA and....help out???? mayhaps???....yeah, yeah, i know only in my dreams T^T)
TRES
ok, so we could technically say this sort of happened in ep1 when Sun Wukong said, "i thought it was someone important," and, "so what, you're her puppet now? i mean, makes sense. you always did have a sidekick kind of vibe."
and that is basically Wukong implying that he viewed his relationship with Macaque as one where he didn't consider Macky to be important to him, or someone he saw as a close friend. however, this is also a tactic Wukong uses against nearly every villain he interacts with, simply to get a rise out of them. so, pin that down as Wukong being observant enough to know which words to use to hurt.
AND Macky's reaction to it is him jumping out of his cool-ass looking jet and body-slamming the monkey king to the floor. so, uh, it is safe to assume that Macky was pissed off at Wukong's comment.
THUS! with that in mind, we can say that in this context, Macackle will be upset enough to fight him; however, if we were to consider the end of s3 (like Samadhi Fire ritual to the end) i would go with the option of Mackarell shutting down and feeling like that comment is the nail in the coffin for their relationship.
CUATRO
in s4? absolutely not. he would be dragging Wukong by the ear, demanding that he repeat what he said, ordering Wukong to try and convince himself that their past meant nothing while Macky still lives and breathes. and especially after the s4 special.
you could argue that Macky could shut down in the beginning of s4, but i think he'd probably laugh it off because he knows now that Wukong is lying. he's being his old deflective self and probably doesn't know where to place Macanoli in his head now that they're technically on better terms with LBD done with.
but after all the drama of going through SWK's memories? nuh uh, Wukong can't get out of this, nope. you handed iMac a chocolate peach popsicle. it is too late for you turn back and lie about your feelings. you can dig your grave and lie about it, but he's just gonna hit you right back with your own medicine and make you understand that if y'all truly want to reconcile, you cannot continue lying to yourself that you don't care.
not anymore.
so, anyway, i hope this answers your question, anon! i had a lot of fun running this question around in me braincage :3

I think it's almost funny, in a bit of a sad way, that this tiny plastic (or wtv) thing has helped me more than all the therapists I've worked with combined.
It has carried me through actual panic attacks, depressive episodes and hell, it was my most constant support during my first appointment for hrt.
Why pay thousands of euros and dozens of hours in therapy when you can give twenty five once and a bit of time rubbing its tiny head with your thumb?
Checkmate therapists.

Callum + using magic as a crutch until he can’t anymore
Everything from the implications that Ezran is pleasantly surprised that Callum has bounced back so quickly after a tearful end to his birthday, from the way Callum keeps moving around his office and refusing to look at Rayla once she returns, the tight grip on his staff when he shuts her down and sends her off with Soren, the explicit parallels the season draws between magic and his relationship with Rayla yet again (“I wish I could just forgive her, but it - it’s so hard” “Lots of things are hard, Callum. Like magic. But you figured that out” and everything with the moon opals), and how he drops his staff entirely to pick up her blade and cradle it to his chest. It reminds me of the symbolism of Amaya dropping her shield to help Janai up in 3x01 - even the fact that Aaravos’ prey is mages, and all the foreshadowing of Rayla herself, in some capacity, being the key to the other path he’ll choose, already guiding him away from the mirror once before.
