once again opening a ship tag on AO3 and opening a dozen fics and closing out of almost all of them immediately because they would not fucking act like that

fandoms
fanfic writing
romance writing
COPYING PREVIOUS TAGS BECAUSE YOU ARE SO BASED -->
chatters pushing them to go on Real DatesTM when they were already doing that? they went to eat they had coffee they talked?
everyone pushing for marriage ??? as the only True End of their relationship ??? WHY IS THIS FANDOM ORTHODOX ???????
this goes for all fandoms (and even beyond fandoms in general tbh) but
I think a lot of people see marriage as an ''end goal'' for a relationship
it doesn't matter who you are or whether you want it or not - if a relationship is going well it HAS to end in marriage
<-- end of previous tags
this very much sparked a conversation between me and my sister on how hetalia characters would say i love you in their own way
because personality AND culture
is it part of culture to say i love you?
or is it part of culture to show love with actions?
i think we all need to go outside and observe romance irl and not take notes from hallmark movies
i had witnessed a man talk to his friend of his attempt to ask out a german foreign exchange student
he read aloud his paragraph of a message and said he will try to translate it into german before sending it
he said words like “i want to get to know you more” and “i think you're very cool”
i thought it was beautiful
