there is something so insidious and disgusting about the fact that aromantic people have to trot out some One True Friendship to impress allos with when they start questioning our worth
when society teaches people to replace us the moment they even get near a romantic relationship
not to mention how hard it can be to get close to people once that’s happened to you enough times
but nope, gotta have that perfect profound friendship that resembles a romantic relationship as closely as possible to show off whenever people start doubting you to get your Human Points back
