It was something that had sort of come up 'incidentally' in previous relationships, but I think Homestuck got me to rethink a lot of things, including taking like, polyamory and the complexities of romantic life more seriously. I wasn't like... an EXTREMELY prolific fan creator back in the day, but I did write a like. Poem, story, thing, about three greenblooded troll girls who fall in love and escape a dead session together. I am sure that this story no longer exists anywhere, but I still think about that.

Honestly, I find it kind of funny and quaint that polyamory is still such a taboo topic nowadays. Maybe it's not for everybody, and that's more than okay, but it's funny that even very ostensibly progressive and cutting-edge narratives like postcanon-Homestuck and Deltarune feel the need to treat the topic of polyamory at arm's length--oh, here's a polyamorous relationship, but it's between three characters who make no sense as a triad and it's founded on this like deeply unhealthy and forced dynamic, so don't worry about having to take it seriously! Like it's the same exact pattern for both Jade and Rouxls Kaard, beat for beat!

Eh, but I guess it's not the kind of thing I take as... personally? as I did the silence that once existed around gay and trans media. It's just kind of amusingly out of touch.
