I'd honestly love to see more explorations of this concept that don't end with a happily ever after, but instead a realization that getting used to the abuse doesn't mean liking it and being happy with it.

I think a lot of the disconnect there comes down to me being ACE umbrella but loving romance. So seeing very popular portrayals of one character gaslighting an ACE character into thinking they're in love with them be labelled as romantic just hits me really oddly.

I've started categorizing emotionally abusive relationships and especially convincing someone of love through unsavory methods as toxic yuri and this has made people rather upset when I label a well-loved series as toxic. Even if it ends 'happy' the journey to get there was pretty toxic.

Being directly involved in planning was so special to me, I'm so proud of our team 💜 thanks to @raelcun.bsky.social for trusting me to lead up Games Committee.

I loved working with my GC, they're the best!

You were amazing, you and Hib were just as unhinged as I hoped you would be.

It's still there

How dare you attack me with compliments like this
