To be fair I don’t necessarily see that as romantic or sexual
I disagree with the idea that marriage is necessarily the highest form of bond
I feel like you can have platonic bonds that are significantly deeper than anything romantic
Or at least on par in a different way
Feels like that’s how spren-Radiant relationships are
The defense tends to be “No see, this girl who looks 13 is actually a 3,000 year old fairy, it’s totally fine”
Sure
I’d have the same issue if Shallan got with Pattern, Venli with Timbre, or Hoid with Design
In technicality, not mentality or development
When they first met and for a while afterwards, she’s for all intents and purposes a child
That feels like the same defense anime fans tend to use
You and me both girl
I hate the trope of two characters meeting when one is a child and the other is an adult, then later they get together
Hated it in Seven Deadly Sins, hated it in The Book Of Dust, and I hate it here
Not aro but yeah
I take Dancing With Myself by Billy Idol to be a celebration of not needing a romantic partner to feel happy or fulfilled
And either only needing your own company or that of friends
Aye I know this one
Possibly
Were you somehow relating to Princess Alexandra of Bavaria?
She had a psychological condition and believed that she had swallowed a glass piano as a child, and it could shatter and puncture her organs
