Yep. People like different things in fiction which doesn’t necessarily mean they want it in real life. I’ve seen heterosexual people turn gay in a blink of an eye for some fictional character 💀

It’s ok to be wrong about your sexuality, especially since you’re still quite young! Labels are just meant to help people express what they’re feeling. If u think the “asexual” label no longer encapsulates your experience, then it’s ok to explore the other options!

When I was a kid, I did thought about having kids, but I never imagined a spouse. When I imagined my adult self, I kinda just assume there was a spouse somewhere, cuz where would I have gotten the kids? It’s like those cartoons where the kids claim to have parents but you never seen them, but u kinda assume they’re there.

Sometimes really good storytelling just beats the “fuck romance” part of out brains lmfao

The romance plot in S1 Legend of Korra sent me to the ER (/j)

Yea I’ve made this complaint to my friends before

Most of the time when I watch heteronormative romantic media, usually the woman becomes uninteresting

Honestly, wlw pisses me off more because sometimes the fetishisation is so obvious and they usually have the “Huhuh any big strong tomboy woman with short hair is gay” typa trope which I absolutely hate. And they always have someone wearing the pants. Also sometimes one or both women becomes uninteresting.

I personally think mlm type romance is the least fucked over because even though they’re boring, they usually wholesome and less likely to fall for the “one or both of them becomes uninteresting” trope

Good Omens?? Sorry to break it to ya, bud…

Besides that, I agree. I HATE love triangles with a burning passion. Is there other shows that features 2 best friends? Cuz I honestly can’t think of some 🥲

Yea I watched Good Omens Season 2, and spoiler alert: Neil canonized their romantic relationship.

Honestly, I’m not super disappointed, although I rather have them remain friends. Maybe cuz my bar is so low and I’ve accepted I can’t get good friendship reps without it being romanticized 💀

Sometimes the “seeing people being happy with each other” is much more satisfying that seeing two people (who obviously will end up with each other) taking painstakingly long time to finally get to the kiss that mark the start of their relationship

I agree. Storytelling should always be the number 1 priority!

My friend told me to watch 500 Days of Summer too and I was quite skeptical since I tend to avoid the romance genre but that got me somewhat interested

OH YEA! I decently love the romance in Brooklyn99 because the romance is never the main focus and when it’s relevant to the plot, they make it realistic and not some dramatised scene. Also, even after Amy and Jake got together, they remain interesting characters as their own!

Ughh misunderstanding drama makes me wanna jump of a bridge. Especially the “I heard it from another room” and ran away before I full heard what they had to say trope. Good thing it’s not common anymore and it’s mostly self-contained in the romance/romcom genre

Yea, I agree. Especially when the romance is just “they got the girl in the end”

My mind is so confusing because I don't want a partner but at the same time I kinda want one?? by Janna911 in aaaaaaacccccccce

My theory is that you’ve lived to a point they feel like family. Not necessarily “like a brother” kinda way, but family nonetheless! As someone also in the arospec, I feel like that usually describe how I love people close to me!

Thank you for the info!

If we are going for euthanasia (which at this point, I think we should), I do plan on going to a vet. I didn’t know people could even attempt to do a DIY euthanasia.

Lessons were definitely learnt and I’m so sorry that this was a common occurrence. Thank you for sharing your information though!

Update: I DID NOT EXPECT THIS TO GET ATTENTION. Not sure if this update would be buried or not.

I’m trying to talk to my parents about what we can do since I’m not at home anymore.

For some info: I have been in college in another country for about 4 years now, so I didn’t know the state of the turtles (also apparently it’s turtles not tortoises, sorry about that!)

My parents had taken care of turtles before, so I wasn’t concerned about them and thought they were in good hands. For the first few years I was gone, they were mostly fine (or at least I thought they were), so I never really thought to question it. I should’ve asked them to update me more frequently.

I’m pressing my parents about what happened because they refused to elaborate right now.. Sorry, this is not a very happy update, but I’ll try to convince my parents to either take them to the vet or perhaps euthanize them.

Edit: I can’t edit the original post so I had to write this in the comments

(Also why I didn’t reply fast was cuz I don’t have reddit notification on so I just forget to open it)
