At Least Not In A Traditional Sense - Tumblr Posts

Hot take? probably lukewarm at best tbh?

I don’t like billford not because it “promotes or glorifies abuse” (although that’s something that people can unfortunately do through it as people are good at just making shit bad)

But because i just… don’t see them that way? At all? Ford’s always seemed very aroacespec to me, and the relationship between the two has never had any “romantic” elements that stand out to me at all. A lot of the language Hirsch uses around the two of them does not necessarily make it a romantic relationship! “Will-they-won’t-they” and such stuff is intentionally a joke and also is able to have meaning behind it that ISNT necessarily romantic!!!!! BECAUSE! May I remind you!!!! People can be close and even intimately connected in ways other than romantic!!!!

plus there’s the whole power dynamic between them that makes it seem way more “i give this guy an unhealthy amount of attention religiously” than “i give this guy an unhealthy amount of attention romantically” like it’s a religious relationship i feel like, not romantic

thanks for coming to my soapbox ted talk show

I don’t know man it’s 2 in the morning i’m sorry this is incoherent
