one thing i noticed about all of the fics i write where two ppl of the same gender get together i never really like…..have them like recognize their sexuality like they just get together with the other person and they’re happy and stuff but the internal turmoil beforehand isn’t really “oh my god i like <same gender>” it’s more like “oh my god i like <person>” and idrk what that says about me and i don’t even know why i do it. like i’ve never written characters that go through the “I can’t possibly be interested in the same gender” thing, maybe because it’s always seemed like an annoying trope?? idk. maybe my characters are okay with their sexualities being fluid as long as they aren’t suddenly attracted to their best friend of the same gender
