I'm getting really tired of all these posts complaining about stobin being too codependent and unhealthy. Not because i don't think that sometimes they are written as too codependent, but because the posts always seem to be because some of us write them as ya know, being each other's most important person and making life decisions together.
I'm an arospec person who views and writes stobin as a Queer Platonic Relationship. I really don't appreciate people claiming I and others who see them the same way are making them too "codependent" by writing them doing things together that would be considered normal and sweet if it was a romantic relationship.
Part of it is that qprs are actual relationships! That's literally what a qpr is, it is having a committed relationship with someone platonically, to the extent you might live together, make life decisions together, etc. You can still date outside of that ofc if you are inclined to romance and it's agreed upon, just like any other relationship, but it is just that! A relationship!
Another part of it is that in my experience, despite all the fandom jokes about them, a majority of fic only really has their friendship included as a way to prop up one of their individual storylines, or they are there to be a wingman. It is basically impossible to filter fics in a way to find anything friendship centric for them. Ive also closed out of so many fics because writers will fuck up their friendship just so one of the characters has a reason to spend time with their love interest.
So rarely do you see canon friendships that genuinely read like they could be qprs, that it makes these posts even more frustrating. They canonically spend so much time together, and are clearly very committed to each other.
Like are some of the jokes too far? Yeah that's fair, they can get a bit ridiculous. Are some of the HCS genuinely a bit unhealthy at times, even thru a QPR lens, and taking into account their trauma? Probably yes! But so are plenty of headcanons about their main romantic ships too.
It doesn't help that its honestly hard to engage with any actual posts about how the genuinely codependent jokes go too far, because so many posts with genuine complaints end up coming across as almost arophobic.
Idk, I'm just tired of being smacked in the face with posts about things being "unhealthy" because I am not prioritizing the romantic relationships over a platonic one.

I get viscerally angry when AO3 tells me I’ve already left kudos on a fic. So what. Let me kudos again. I wanna leave six kudos. This author needs kudos for every time I’ve come back to reread their damn work okay.

Okay you know how on Tumblr, you can like and unlike a post, and you might do that in a situation where you've liked a post before but a mutual reblogs it with funny tags so you unlike and relike the post to let them know you like the tags?
Why can't I do that on AO3 with kudos? I'm aware I can't leave multiple kudos (and I hate that too), but don't tell me that I "already left kudos here". Let me unkudos and rekudos when I reread them so my favorite fic authors can experience joy and validation all 17 times that I've reread their fic.
I can understand that could get annoying for the author if someone was rekudosing a fic they read a couple times a week and they have notifications on, but personally if I got a notification that said "X kudosed your fic 12 times this month" I wouldn't be annoyed I'd be like "I'm so glad that someone gets so much joy out of something that I wrote"
