My absolute favourite comic journal by Stevenson. Made me cry my eyes out. Even when I can’t articulate it, it gets to the core of what I think love is.
I’ll join you in celebrating platonic and familial relationships if you keep the “romance inherently makes a story worse” far away from me. I am allergic.
One reply that I get to this post is the problem is not romance, but relationships that are given the shortcut of they’re in love in lieu of a well-written dynamic. Which I agree with and concede, and I want to submit the same thing happens with found family dynamics.
I call them “Bring Your Own Feelings” relationships. They’re not going to sell the characters feelings for each other to you, they’re counting on you projecting.
