Why I think Wednesday is demiromantic or greyromantic
(None of this fan art is mine I found it on Pinterest so credits to the og artists your talent is incredible.)
First, of all for all you beautiful people who have forgotten or didn't know these two definitions, let's take a look:
A grey romantic person:
is a person with a romantic orientation that is somewhere between aromantic and romantic.
For example, a gray-romantic may:
-Experience romantic attraction but not very often.
-Experience romantic attraction, but not desire romantic relationships.
-Desire relationships which are not quite platonic and not quite romantic.
A demiromantic person:
is a person who cannot feel a romantic attraction to someone until a strong emotional connection is established. The emotional connection can be any number of things from a prolonged talking stage to a sexual relationship turning to more. It depends on the case and all people are different on how they feel emotional connections with others.
At the beginning of the show Wednesday says that she does not have any interest in being like her Mother and falling in love and getting married. (Just like to say the proud aroacespec positivity I got form hearing those words...)
First of all this indicates that Wednesday does not consider herself a allo person, she has romantic feelings and has decided to never act on them or she has never experienced romantic attraction before (demiromantic/greyromatic?).
However as the show progresses we can see her form what can be interpreted as romantic bonds with two people.
(And will be by a wider straight/cis/allo audience who might not understand the aroacespec coding in the show.)
But, more importantly, she also forms a possibly stronger platonic bond with Enid.
Wednesday's relationship with Enid progresses in a healthy way. They get to know each other. At the beginning of their relationship they have a tape across the floor which nether of them cross, even at the end when Enid thinks he's saying goodbye for ever she does not hug Wednesday because she knows she doesn't like it. They respect each others boundaries.
Across the show we see their friendship deepen and Wednesday begin to more openly return Enid's affections.
One of the most important things to take from this is the speed of, said, progression.
It takes the whole show for Wednesday to be comfortable enough to hug Enid, which shows he level of trust she has gained for her new friend. She doesn't even accept affection from her family.
And, just as importantly, there is still room for a lot of growth in their relationship.
How does this tie into the grey/demiromantic theory?
Well, as Enid and Eugene are the only two people who Wednesday willingly calls her friends (correct me if I'm wrong my memory is shit) and Enid is the (potential?) romantic interest in the situation, she has obviously formed an emotional connection with her and only after she has formed an emotional connection will she allow Enid to hug her.
It ties pretty perfectly into the Demi category.
Now we have to address something else.
The boys.
First of all, especially as an ace (maybe grey or Demiromatic?) person myself, the relationships with both of them seem very rushed and forced.
It seems to me, that she only uses them to find information about the case. The whole show, everything, even the kiss all looked like a ploy for information.
After she suspects Xaviour she turns on him pretty quick. Would she do that if she really cares about him? And she has no problems with being against Tyler in the final.
All through the show her interactions with them are abrupt and harsh, she often forgets about them to continue her investigations, she frequently appears to have no regard to their feelings.
Why would she treat them so badly if she cared about them?
And why would her reserved personality allow her to progress two relationships so fast?
So how does the grey/demiromanticism link into these situations?
It's her extreme awkward and unusual reactions and treatment of both guys that leads me to think that a) she doesn't romantically like ether of them and b) she truly doesn't know how to interact with someone she has a crush on.
Sometime, when your feelings have deepened from some previous emotional connection, it is a lot easier to ignore them.
And Wednesday has never formed such a connection before Enid.
How would she know how to act and show romantic affection?
The stuff you see on T.V looks stupid. People meet each other, go on cute dates, have an mis-communication, get back together, kiss in the rain.
Where is the realism in that? Where is the emotional bonding the inability to understand emotions? The questioning of feelings?
Is this just how allo relationships are portrayed in the media or do people really just know if they like someone, that easily?
I genuinely don't know if some people just know if they like someone without months of questioning.
And Wednesday probably wouldn't ether.
Which is why she tries to make her relationship so like that, quick and easy, even though the emotions (that I'm assuming allos manage to feel after like two weeks or something) aren't there. Instead it's just the words and actions without any feelings.
So, it's the build up of her and Enid's relationship, her reactions to the boys advances especially in the cliche development of their relationships that feels so forced that and doesn't suit her personality at all that leads me to think that Wednesday is ether grey or demiromantic.
As for the ace part in both.
Maybe I'm just self projecting. But does that girl really appear allo to you?
Really?

i dont think people on this website who think of riverdale as, like, Straight Media understand that a) the magic and genius of it comes from the mind of one of our society's foremost homosexuals roberto aguirre-sacasa himself and b) i once tried to make a list of all the gay characters in rvd with speaking roles and gave up once i hit like 40 bc that was the point in the 50s timeline archie's homophobic uncle who was calling him gay for writing poetry (there was also the fact archie and reggie were having mutual onscreen bisexual awakenings about each other after watching gay porn together but thats like, less gay than the writing poetry thing) anyway archies homophobic uncle started fucking gay kevin's cop dad. luckily the two of them were killed by betty's gay serial killer brother-in-law chic (not to be confused with her gay serial killer BROTHER charles, who chic married in a beautiful gay serial killer wedding in the normal timeline) (do you even understand core four polycule was quite literally canon at the end of the day? do you know that?) (do you know that cheryl blossom is not just the best lesbian but the best CHARACTER who has ever existed in the history of all media and you could not in fact ever handle her? c) they dont even know about archies weird fantasy. so whats the point
#by the end of the shows run it was literally on a mission to make a new character gay each week idk like it was crazy..... u know nothing#riverdale is Not straight people media it is literally the world's number one example of camp..... u people know nothing.....#how fake camp enjoyers look when REAL camp comes at them idk!! this is a site of FAKERS#if u cant enjoy the cults and gangs and the aliens and the endless timelines and timeloops and evil d&d where's your FUN. your ADVENTURE.#go watch Actually Entertaining Television for once in your life...... go watch some riverdale and get back to me. get some WHIMSY i mean it#there is quite licherally no experience more fun. it's cinema. it's television. it's a blast. it literally has cheryl blossom.#at the end of the day as always to be a riverdale enjoyer is to be a modern day cassandra... they do not listen to our words... but we know#we know the truth of this world. and the truth is camp.

genuinely so many of you want to be leftist and "punk" and countercultural soooooo bad but you refuse to become comfortable with the concept of people taking drugs for fun because they like it and not because they were somehow tricked or forced into it without knowing what they were getting themselves into
you'll be like "addiction is a disease!!" but think you're better than those degenerate stoners because you only drink energy drinks and white claws and would never touch "illegal drugs"
many if not most drugs CAN be consumed completely safely with almost 0 risk to the user and even if that werent true and all drugs were extremely dangerous you still wouldn't be better than those of us who love doing drugs recreationally
lighten up and grow up. get offline, talk to real adults, and stop being shocked to discover that they enjoy doing stuff that adults do like have sex and do drugs and even listen to rock and roll
#put punk in parantheses bc yall are hardcore straight edge at best lmao#goes to a punk show in someones basement and gasps when i see people snorting coke off each other in the corner#anyway heres your regular reminder from your friendly neighborhood drug addict that drugs can be and often are consumed safely#LSD‚ MDMA‚ psilocybin‚ cannabis of course‚ ketamine‚ coke‚ whippets. these are all drugs that i personally have used#and that are completely safe when used correctly and by someone who doesn't have some sort of allergy#even if someone is on a dangerous drug like meth or heroin you are not better than them#in fact theyre probably a lot chiller than your ass if youre still viewing drugs as a thing for 'degenerates' to do#literally can not hang out with non druggies anymore bc they cannot stop themselves from moralizing it#i mention that my vape has thc in it and i get That Look and a bunch of 'i would never smoke weed. i mean its fine. i just would NEVER'#i get it! you view drugs as a thing thats only for poor people or people who dont care about themselves or whatever#i call that the go ask alice effect. people will think you smoked weed then immediately had sex got pregnant and died of a heroin overdose#even when they think theyre being super progressive

Actually the worst thing to come out of the new pjo series is people deciding Annabeth's dad was 19-22 when he was given her by Athena (and therefore "just a kid at the time" so it's not his fault, he was in debt and couldn't afford it) He was in the middle of/nearly finished with his PhD, the Chase family was rich and he was probably a legacy (college not demigod wise) so no, he was just a shit dad. And she was also like 7 when she ran away and he was already married to her stepmom who was half the problem. Characters can be 30+ actually it's okay I promise
#percy jackson#... spoilers??#I haven't seen the show I've just seen people's shit takes 😭#phd students are not 22 who told you that#pleasee#I know ONE person from my undergrad class who got into a phd straight from undergrad and she wasn't even 22#there's NO WAY he was 19????#the youngest person in my MA degree classes is 20 and they're doing a special program that lets them get their first year of grad studies#at the same time as their senior year of undergrad

shout-out to the makers of NBC Hannibal for (clearly) reading all four books about Hannibal Lecter by Thomas Harris and going "hmm. actually we will make the gayest possible version of this" going on to COMPLETELY disregard the other main character and (canon) ?love interest? of the series and never even MENTION Clarice Starling. Like it's so funny to me that she never even appears on the show when book!Will Graham literally fucks off after The Red Dragon and wants nothing to do with any of this anymore and book!Hannibal is obsessed with Clarice in the same way that tv!Hannibal is obsessed with tv!Will. like they really took a whole book franchise, picked out the cherries, and made it their own personal little gay AU. that's so refreshing and should be a leading example in television adaptations. in this essay i will
#hannibal#hannigram#hannibal lecter#will graham#Clarice Starling#thomas harris#nbc hannibal#mp#i actually like clarice as a character though#but i do think that the red dragon is the best book of the series and they get worse and worse#also they have nothing to do with the show when it comes to aesthetics#they're literally just action filled crime thrillers. they feel very to the point‚ very technical and practical and sober#whereas the show is literally just art and poetry and emotions and meaning and simply beautiful#i also love that the show treats its female characters so much better than the books#the books feel very masculine which is just due to the time of publishing i guess#i feel like a lot of books written and published by men in the 80s/90s have this very brutalist straight forward no emotions style#but yeah. the people who made the show really went all out with it and i love how their interpretation is kinda just high scale fanfiction#like i respect that so much and also: goals

Aging rockstar Eddie Munson who goes viral on tiktok after dueting a fancam of him and Stevie that is backed by the bi wife energy audio.
It's shaky, clearly a spur of the moment response, Eddie is obviously captivated for a second by a clip of Stevie that starts to play. He sighs and directs his attention back to the audience. "I love my beautiful wife, the sun to my moon, the light of my life."
You can just make out another voice from somewhere in the background call out, "Love you too!"
"But I did not survive being an openly gay teenager in the 1980s in rural Indiana to be called a heterosexual!"
He zooms in closer to his face, it's unclear whether this was intentional, "I did not go through a sexuality crisis in the early 90s when she transitioned, to be called a heterosexual."
Stevie comes out from somewhere behind where Eddie is ranting to drape herself around his shoulders, "Oh that's a good picture of us." The original video is a step above thirst trap and the picture in question is a pap shot of Stevie and Eddie from a long past Halloween. Stevie is in the famous Farrah onepiece and Eddie is in first husband Lee Majors' Six Million Dollar Man red tracksuit.
"You just like it cause we actually ran into Farrah and she liked your hair."
"It was also-"
She isn't dislodged as Eddie fails, well practiced at staying on her perch. "I didn't cancel the back half of our 1995 tour because of morning sickness to get called a HETEROSEXUAL!"
Stevie's smile is indulgent and soft, it wrinkles the corners of her eyes in soft crows feet that betray her age. "You can be trans and straight."
"A fucking ally then!"
She's got a sage Mona Lisa smile as the video ticks to a close, "I love my husband, and he's actually bi."
#steddie#t4t steddie#transfem steve harrington#stevie harrington#trans eddie munson#do you ever get the bi wife energy song stuck in your head for weeks at a time cause your brain is broken?#anyway i am enchanted by the idea that both halves of steddie gave eachother little bi crisises#little freshman stevie getting butterflies over this charismatic sophomore#eddie who has been sure hes gay since he can remember being completely blindsided by his attraction to stevie#is this a vecna verse thing who knows#maybe they went their seperate ways and came back together but either way#stevie also likes the halloween picture because thats their first halloween with their daughter technically#eddie had to scrap his original costume plans because he started showing#idk i just imagine a famous eddie keeping his personal life private and then people make assumptions about this guy and his wife#and those assumptions are that hes straight and that just wont stand

What yougotta understand is that when you're interacting with blogs from a fictional universe, such as the English Willy saga, ya DON'T GIVE THE GAME AWAY. Don't just TELL THEM all the plot. Don't tell them exactly what's happening!! Don't tell them the important names!! Send asks and such but actually think through, how would a normal person respond to all this? How would a normal Tumblrina respond? The answer is YOU PROBABLY WOULD NOT FIND FUCKING EVERYTHING OUT IMMEDIATELY. The answer would probably be memes and clowning on things! If you wanna allude to things that will happen in the plot, ALLUDE to them. If you know that someone's gonna burn to death, say you hope the stress doesn't cause them to burn out. Please, my Tumblrinas, learn the art of subtlety in writing. You are not the main character in fictional universe blogs. It's okay.
#cassie rambles#english willy#this post was prompted by me getting annoyed ppl in the comments of the english willy posts were just straight-up giving everything away#PEOPLE. LEARN THE ART OF ''WAITING'' AND ''SUBTLETY'' AND ''YOU'RE NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER HERE''#like just straight up saying ''yeah that probably means elizabeth! that's probably a murderer's corpse in there!''#girl these reveals take TIME#the reason the "lisbef'' thing and the ice cream thing work is because we know the plot to fnaf! we know what he's talking about!#we don't need it to be said explicitly! that's what show dont tell is!#and it sucks the wind out of the sails if you just say ''oh yeah that's a reference to elizabeth afton''#it's like if the op brought up fires and someone immediately said ''oh fazbear frights is gonna burn down btw''#like NO. THAT'S NOT WHAT GOOD WRITING IS. THAT'S NOT HOW YOU DO REFERENCES TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL.#the reason saying like ''aw i hope mike doesnt get cold in there i hope he brought smth to stay warm :('' works is because it isn't blatant#i mean if you know hte plot to fnaf 3 it is but if you don't it doesn't break immersion by just telling us the plot#all of this is said lightheartedly#anyway.#LIKE NO YOU IDIOTS!!!! DON'T JUST BRING OUT CIRCUS BABY BLATANTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!#YOU'RE TRYING TO RUSH THE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET IT BUILD UP AND THE PAYOFF WILL BE BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#STOP TRYING TO BE THE MAIN CHARACTER!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE A SIDE HARACTER HERE ADN THAT IS OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hiccup and astrid only works for me if they're written as foils. Hiccup is a soft hearted pacifist who has to learn to make tough calls. Astrid is a hard core warrior who has to learn compassion. they both admire the other for their strengths, and by some combination of striving to be more like each other, and hitting the breaks when one of them goes too far in one direction, they manage to meet in the middle and work really well together
#astrid makes sure Hiccup doesn't let people get away with misusing his trust#and Hiccup makes sure Astrid doesn't burn every bridge ever over issues that could be solved#httyd#vitpost#hiccstrid#im watching the show again and I straight up can't get over how much better it handles their dynamic compared to the movies#could it be that I spent more time with the show versions of them in between waiting for the movies#and so got attached to that characterization which led me to misinterpret the original depiction of their relationship? maybe.#but also not rly because the dynamic im talking about is very much present in the first film and then further supported#by the Gift of the Night Fury short#so really it just feels like the second film didn't rly know what to do with Astrid and kind of sidelined her#and then by the third movie they'd forgotten her personality too#They're Cute in the movies though I'll give them that. but that does not satisfy the aroace viewer :)#I need them to Make Sense too

The walking dead managed to get me so invested in hetero couples it's not even funny. I love these freaks.
#this epsiode gave me a fucking HEART ATTACK by the way#I'm so sure Rick is gonna die and then they did me like that. you fucking kidding me? TWICE. twice they've done that same bait and switch!#''show em getting literally eaten from the inside out then have it be something else. It'll be so funny. Ok do it again the next season''#speaking of being shockingly invested in straight people#gnashing my teeth for just a crumb of Caryl over here#what happened!! did I miss something? I thought they were together!#just a situationship I guess??#the walking dead#also I think this is the first time I've heard Rick actually laugh beyond a nose-exhale

might be a hot take but god it pisses me off so much that every wlw show ive watched thats been canceled had an INCREDIBLE plot aside from the romance. like time travel or uncontrollable telekinesis or a fucked up social experiment of a staged plane crash. all very interesting stories and the wlw romance is a bonus and they still get canceled.
but literally nothing else has to happen for a mlm show to break records. nothing happens in shows like heartstopper. its JUST a high school romance. yes theres some wlw and i know people will argue that the focus on just high school is why they like it but it pisses me off how well they do compared to incredibly elaborate and brilliant stories that also have wlw romance. and they do well ENTIRELY bc its mlm.
and its because straight people (specifically straight girls) love mlm stories so shows like heartstopper get the straight audience AND the gay audience but no straight people care about wlw fiction like that. so every wlw show gets a smaller audience because its just a gay audience watching, and it leads to it being canceled every fucking time.
#people might get mad at me for bitching about heartstopper i know its cute and cheesy and harmless but god it drives me crazy how well shows#like that do compared to wlw shows which in my opinion are SO much more interesting plot wise#straight girls will see any mlm show and lose their shit so its so easy for those shows to be successful#stranger things might actually be the first show ive watched with a future wlw couple that didnt get canceled#and this is one of the main reasons why i love byler so much bc its a part of such a bigger story#and i think thats a huge reason why the majority of people who love byler are queer unlike a lot of other popular mlm ships#im furious rn#im tagging byler bc youre all gay#byler#paper girls

The problem with the church today is that so many "Christians" do not actually believe in redemption.
#unironically christian#i say this because of all the people who make comments about people's testimony#like saying they don't believe that only fans girl who was saved and baptized was really saved#like... reading through the comments it becomes clear that the “Christians” don't actually accept her#like... my brother in Christ... your good deeds are as worthy as my used pad#that is straight up in the bible#you are not better than her and you do not deserve redemption more than her#her salvation is between her and God#and yes... you say that time will reveal her fruit and you are correct#but guess what#ananias was called to extend a hand to paul *before* his fruit showed#and he was a frigging serial killer who was out for ananias's blood the week before#you do not get to pick and choose which converts you get to except#you are not God and thank heavens for it because if you were we would all be doomed#*deep breath*#i am just so sick of this... farse... that Christianity has become#Christians need a wake up call#oh! and and when you act like its impossible to accept that she could be saved you belittle God's power#you call into question Jesus's blood and it's ability to cleanse and if that is false your salvation is worthless!#also also you go against the things clearly written in the Bible while wearing the title of Christian#which means you are misrepresenting God's nature and intentions which means you are breaking the command to not take the lord's name in vain#wow... i thought i was done at the deep breath... guess not😅#rat rants

it's unfortunate that twitter is the most convenient place to find TL news and latest pictures because wow the fandom over there is really a cesspool. I so need them to learn it's not actually funny to make fun of the cast for losing and then TAG the creators in said petty comments all over SHIPS. if you hate the show so deeply to be cheering in joy over its award show demise and echoing the commentary of the people who have always thought ted lasso was trash, just because you think it's appropriate ~revenge~ for a bad season like uhhh. maybe it's time to take a step back and leave the fandom because you clearly aren't enjoying yourself. and then the audacity to get on there every day demanding a season 4?? like what about the way they tweet at them do they think is enticing these creators to want to make more?
#ted lasso#listen i don't care about jason but to actually analyze his reactions when it panned to him just to take pleasure in his disappointment#is soooooooo weird and unkind#and far removed from a normal criticism of the show#especially coming from someone calling themselves a FAN of the show ??? like get a grip#i'm sure we all know which part of the fandom this is but let just say. why is it always the straight ships?#god and it's deeply annoying that every time brett and juno do something (which brings me joy) it's tainted by people being annoying about#lack of a rk endgame#like NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT DAMN ENDGAMES can't we just be happy we get to see them again#like at a certain point your ship didn't happen GET OVER IT idk sorry if that's bitter lol#.#okay i'm logging off for the day hopefully that all was too much for me lmao

i think it should be considered obscene and predatory to have cops and the military in kids shows. promoting that kind of lifestyle/agenda to children is so creepy
#.txt#despite the phrasing here i do mean this almost 100% sincerely#when cops or soldiers appear in kids shows they should be idiots or straight up villains i think#i had to phrase this like even more of a joke on bluesky because a lot of twitter migrant furrys are fake leftists#'how dare you insult my ex military bf some people have to join because theyre poor' ;-; boohoo wah wah waaahh#i was in that position and i did warehouse work. was your bf too good for warehouse work? lol#and wheres my damn award for getting injured huh.

you CANNOT go limp or swing your legs around when you are crowdsurfing that is how people end up kicked in the face and with concussions. it also makes it harder for everyone to keep you up; if youre going to crowdsurf make sure you are doing it correctly, observing the crowd to make sure they will be able to keep you up in the first place, and try not to crowdsurf in such quick succession with other people it makes it hard not only on the people in the front but on security as well because they cannot keep up with so many people comming through at once especially if there are surfers on both sides of the crowd!
#i keep noticing younger crowds just straight up do not know show etiquette#yall gotta use ur noggins cmon now#people on twitter getting made at people for being frustrated with bad crowdsurfing etiquette

god i JUST realized. ghost hunter AU leopika would absolutely get married for health insurance purposes (they have been dating longer than their chaotic low-budget ghost hunting internet show has existed) and then COMPLETELY forget to tell anybody because they wouldn't think it's relevant
#ghost hunter au#leopika#text#like gon and killua know because they brought them to the courthouse as witnesses#and probably a couple other friends know?? i can imagine that if they're bothering to do it they'd bother with a party about it afterwards#but the vibe i'm getting is that they just. date for Years and it straight up doesn't occur to them to bother getting married#until they realize that it'll resolve some sort of insurance situation and make all that easier#and then they just. never announce it. or mention it to most people. kurapika still calls leorio his boyfriend out of habit and everything#it's EXACTLY like how their viewers didn't know they were dating until maybe 3 years into the ghost show#have you ever seen two people who love each other SO MUCH and also simply Do Not Care about it bc that's kinda this situation
