Hrrmmm, that joke flopped like a fish out of water.
Edit: 3 o'clock brain struck again, I have edited it a bit for clarity but there is only so much you can do with horrible writing X)
(BETA SPOILERS AHEAD)
new season is still in beta but man i am hyped (and emotionally attached)
I had an idea based off of a dream again.
So basically there's this guy, and he lives alone on the streets (he also has a broken arm throughout a bit of the story which is relevant to his backstory). He's getting mugged when this demigirl pops up and helps him out. They keep running into each other, and soon become friends. Then they get to know each other better, and start catching feelings. Of course since I make half my characters neurodiverse, and the other half mentally ill or both, they have no idea that they're beginning to catch feelings, and he feels he's not worth the feelings caught.
Or resident asexual panromantic (them) and pansexual demiromantic (him) walk into an alley and become a punchline with no joke.
