#TropeChats Only one bed: I generally like forced proximity tropes, but "only one bed" is frequently about sexual attraction which means as an acespec person I don't always get it or care about it. It works best for me when there are a lot of feelings other than just attraction
@Forestofglory i’m always kinda fascinated by the way bedsharing (or even just roomsharing) has become *so* intimate in modern western culture that we project only one bed trope assumptions into cultures / pasts where bed-sharing happened in all kinds of relationships
@Satsuma @Forestofglory Such a good point!
The Great Bed of Ware, y'all!
@Satsuma @Forestofglory Okay, now I want some historically accurate bed-sharing where you're sharing one giant bed with six other strangers or whatever.
@Forestofglory @lirazel @Satsuma I considered doing that to Song Lan in a different fic and just couldn’t bring myself to be so cruel. 😂
@villainousfriend @lirazel @Forestofglory Song Lan probably has a lot of practice navigating those kinds of situations! But yeah probably the meaner characters to pick on with historical accuracy 😂
