Sometimes I Feel Weird Identifying As Aromantic AND Polyamorous, Because People Act Like It's Somehow

Sometimes I feel weird identifying as aromantic AND polyamorous, because people act like it's somehow impossible, but, like...I really love the label aromantic, because I don't feel like I experience romantic attraction the same way as allos.

I don't consider romantic attraction important in a relationship at all, because I just don't really seem to feel it very strongly? Like, for me, an intimate partnership is grounded in being extremely good friends, being willing to care for each other emotionally, and building a life together. Romance doesn't have to be a part of it at all, but I'm not, like, repulsed by romance most of the time, so sometimes I'm cool with romancey-type stuff.

But, like, it's just not vital to me. But I like having multiple intimate partnerships because it feels comforting and stable not to rely solely on one partner for everything, y'know?

So anyway, shout-out to all the other aromantic polyamorous people!!! We exist, damn it!!!

It has been 8 months and counting now, but every day I choose to be shocked and scandalized and rendered speechless by the utterly brutish, utterly horrific atrocities committed by Israel every single day. It should never become a new normal to know a whole country’s being genocided and to choose to distract ourselves w other things instead. It should never be standard to look at fundraisers of families suffering and choose to ignore them, to look the other way, to write them off as scams to alleviate any sort of guilt or gravity or moral implication that comes with ignoring these fundraisers. They should never ever be things we are okay with because it’s “just what Israel does now” “it’s just how people are” “it’s just racism.”

Hii!!!

Your thoughts on the eighth sense, ji hyun represented with lighter colors and jae won with darker colors are sooooo valid!!!

Hii!!!

the utter joy of finding this out in one of my favorite shots,,,,,,, the color of the seats on ji hyun and jae won's side!!!! I'm flying!!! this is ecstatic!!!!!!

You're amazing🥰

@how-to-be-a-tree,

I. Did. Not. Notice. The. SEATS!!!!!!!

Hii!!!

I merely observed that their clothing showed their balance of light and dark (the nature of Yin and Yang)

Hii!!!
Hii!!!
Hii!!!
Hii!!!
Hii!!!
Hii!!!

And others have picked up on the use of light to showcase Ji Hyun bringing light to Jae Won's dark world

Hii!!!

Like in the dark library scene

Hii!!!

Where Ji Hyun is the light source down the hall

Hii!!!

Others have noted that queer stories tend to be told in the darkness because that is a safe space away from the harshness of light

Hii!!!
Hii!!!

But I think this show is trying to tell us that Jae Won, who has hidden so much of himself that he is constantly living in the dark, must step out into the light and be open, and Ji Hyun is the light that encourages Jae Won to live his truth.

Hii!!!

So you showing me that the seats are color-coded, when the reflections showed them as having no color even though Ji Hyun's backpack and stickers on his briefcase remained colored

Hii!!!

Is truly a delightful revelation, not only because the seat coloring was intentional, but also the green light to indicate which side the doors will open lights up on Ji Hyun's side AROUND HIM!

Hii!!!

This show told an entire story in this one scene.

Ji Hyun is the color in Jae Won's black and white world. Ji Hyun is light in Jae Won's darkness. Ji Hyun is Jae Won's exit to a fresh start. Everything Jae Won wants is within reach; he just has to move.

Hii!!!

I feel a happy ending in this Chili's tonight!

Hii!!!
