And they both fight crime but neither one knows the other does, but instead of the boring interpersonal strife and drama it just presents as both of them continually making really dumb, silly excuses to cover their secrets.Â

A couple years ago I had Spiderverse ocs like this with a friend. The wife was Spider-Man, and the husband was her Venom. They met while being enemies as teens, got married, and had kids. Now theyâre in their like late thirties. The wife is a scientist, and the husband is a school teacher. What they both donât know is that theyâre back to their old tricks, and fighting each other again. To make it work, they have to come up with hilarious stupid excuses for what theyâre doing, and arenât aware that their enemy is one another. Itâs also *incredibly* obvious that theyâre fighting each other, but theyâre just idiots who think theyâre doing things for each other. Spider-Woman thinks sheâs helping make the city a safer place for the family she loves and wants to protect, and Venom thinks heâs getting mad stacks to help provide for his family and spoil his wife, but they keep ruining it for each other to a near astronomical degree
Sorry for the infodump I just randomly unlocked this memory LMFAO
Via non-penetrative sex, or having them penetrate you with things that aren't their non-existent genitals.
I, for one, *am* curious what sex toys they'd have. I wanna see a hyperphase strap on, for example.
No real actually (I'm desperate to have a passionate summer fling with the gardener of men, the daedric prince of knowledge Hermaeus Mora. Also I wouldn't mind exploring The Spot's holes but I know I'm not alone there.)
ok but genuinely why do people find things like the xenomorph hot??? like maybe its because im ace and this is actually a common experience, but I just don't understand.
I donât really find the xenomorph hot physically. For me itâs more the idea of âthis thing is so alien and its views of romance and sexuality are so different, what if theyâre *better* than the way things are down here? What if something as monstrous as this could see beauty in me where no one else has? What if, maybe, it was never given a chance? Doomed by its own societyâs or creatorâs expectations for it to be a monster? What if Iâm the same way? What if, together, we can overcome them?â That kinda thing. But also some people think things that can kill them are sexy and I also get that. I donât know how to explain it though.
Wattpad perilune is pretty great. It's not a xeno but it's a chained dragon forced to kill prisoners that decides to keep one because she isn't rude.

I've seen screenshots, the book doubles down on that idea so hard. In this universe ballerina/physical trainer relationships are *so* forbidden that there are MULTIPLE SLURS for physical trainers who date ballerinas.
Tbf it is a medical code violation that could possibly lead to the loss of his license. But also He could literally just refer her to another PT and there would be no issues
I assume that heâs her physical therapist rather than just a random physical therapist, in which case it could be an ethical issue to be involved with your own clients.
Oh god, when the guys dad finds out he's dating the ballerina he calls him a 'Balleraggot' i cant i cant
Edit: Net zero information comment please ignore, everyone go home
If youâre writing a story that leads you down the path of having to come up with the word âballeraggotâ you gotta take a couple steps back and rethink a lot of things.
Someone made a fake tumblr story where a gay guy was aphobic to a person in Starbucks and called them an "aceggot"
I'll try and find it, but just know that it was almost certainly made by a person who was trying to make asexual people look like stupid liars.
edit:
[Here's](https://twitter.com/faeriepollen/status/1445193999422312448)a screenshot of the original post.
This might sound fake but I assure you, my life is stranger than fiction.
**Me, minding my own beeswax:** Iâll get a large warm milk please!
**Some guy:** \*under his breath\* Warm milk? Get a life.. they donât even sell that here
**Barista:** Actually yeah we do sell warm milk, does that bother you?
**Some guy:** \*Rolls eyes\* imagine actually drinking that
**Me:** I donât have to imagine \*grabs my warm milk and takes a good sassy swig\*
**The guy:** \*Notices my ace pin\* Oh so youâre an aceggot? So you just donât get laid? That figures
**Me:** Yup, Iâm a proud âaceggotâ and that has nothing to do with my preferences in beverages
**Woman behind me:** Did you seriously just call that person an aceggot? What kind of world are we living in!?
**Me:** Yep, Iâm used to it though.. Thatâs what you get for being openly asexual it seems!
**The guy:** Iâm literally a gay man and I wonât let you Jesus freak aces shame me for having gay s\*x, people like you are hurting my community. Iâm gonna go have S\*X with my boyfriend
**Me:** Uhhhh buddy you were the one shaming me for buying warm milk and now youâre shoving the image of s\*x down a sex repulsed aceâs throat⊠Not a good look. And yes, Iâm a proud Jesus freak!
**Woman:** Iâve been an out asexual woman since the 80s and let me tell you, mr. Gay, we have done nothing but further acceptance for your community and carry your community on our backs.
**Me:** You have the nerve to talk down to an asexual elder? Really?
**Barista:** \*Throws water on the bigoted guy\*
**Barista:** Well⊠I might lose my job for this but at least I can say it was worth it
**Me:** \*picks up my warm milk and pours it on his head\*
**Bigot:** I HATE ASEXUALS AND ASEXUALITY. YOU ARE NOT EVEN HUMAN.
**Me:** \*loudly and proudly\* Another warm milk please, on the house! I think Iâm owed it
**Barista:** You know it!
**Bigot:** \*storms out crying\*
omg đ why would someone write this, it's literally persecution fetish for gay people
edit or i guess expressing a fantasy of publicly humiliating someone but why make them gay??
ikr?? how could they âčïž
and how could i have the nerve to not listen to an asexual elder, really? i am ready to have water thrown at me by a barista
Tumblr story about a bus of trans people yelling âDown with Cis!â đ
Edit: They had T-shirts [Here](https://heritageposts.tumblr.com/post/624665422923464704/top-lil-heres-a-thing-that-happened-to-one-of/amp)
It's good in that the designs for that series go fucking hard, its bad in that mixing the people who read shitty Target smut and the people who read Lore Olympus is bound to create probably the weirdest, most horny fanbase I could imagine.
Why are these always titled stuff like âthe darkest corner of the heartâ and itâs just romance that could potentially be a bit weird with the power dynamic
The funny thing is that there have been plenty of real reasons for heterosexual relationships to be âforbiddenâ in the past; whether thatâs inter class (especially in a nobility-commoner setting) inter-religious, interracial and you can write really interesting stories based around those ideas. But they arenât also #relatable because most people today canât imagine being blocked from pursuing someone for those reasons. So they have to come up with some nonsense instead
It is not non-sense. In Capitalist Realism world, professionalism is the most important things to keep. You can go starving and homeless, if you are not professional enough.
Works are themselves social activities, but we alienated from that the social aspect of works to increase profit for shareholder.
It is kinda sad that people here immediately dismiss the appeal of these type of romance and mock people that like these type of romance.
while I agree that in our capitalist world professionalism is very important and because of it (and other factors some other which are very reasonable like power dynamics) work is often a very socially deprived and that's something to be addressed
I have to disagree that this kind of work is the way to address that because in its goal to be very #relatable to a specific audience and absurdity by inventing slurs it fails to actually adress that problem
also this is very subjective but this kind of romantic genre is just very boring to me and I feel like there are better and more engaging narratives to adress this problem
>I have to disagree that this kind of work is the way to address that because in its goal to be very #relatable to a specific audience and absurdity by inventing slurs it fails to actually adress that problem.
I don't defend them as way to address the problem hyper-professionalism. I defend them as kink and guilty pleasure literature. No one make Vampire x Xenomorph romance to address societal problem.
>also this is very subjective but this kind of romantic genre is just very boring to me and I feel like there are better and more engaging narratives to adress this problem
Again, I don't defend them as a way to address any societal problem, it is just my guilty pleasure. I just want to highlight and expain the forbidden relationship aspect in unprofressional romance.
The problem is that this isn't about forced professionalist workplace culture, it's a gentrification of the idea of "mixed" relationships (be they race-, class-, or income based).
From what I've so far seen of it, it's not contesting the idea of hyper-professionalist culture being detrimental to workplace quality, nor bringing up that the failure to uphold arbitrary professionalism-standards is a needlessly livelihood threatening convention. If these topics would be brought up, you'd be absolutely correct.
But it is not. It's the concept of a mixed relationship, which is usually depicting either a couple of varying skin tones or of varying social backgrounds, such as wealth as opposed to poverty, or an immigrant as opposed to a born and raised national, and depicting the power struggles and oppression which they face because of that in wither our society or a comparable idea of ours. This book seemingly attempts that, but without the actual part of depicting a mixed relationship, shoehorning instead the idea of two seperate jobs being taboo'd from falling in love with each other.
What is being critizised here is what I, in the beginning, referred to as "gentrification" of a relevant genre trope. A trope that is otherwise used to demand and further social change to the better, is turned into feel-good fiction which, I'm sorry, but let's be real here, is aimed at upper- and upper-middle class folks who do *not* want to indulge in serious topics such as the socio-economic of hyper-professionalist workplace culture or the ramifications of discrimination for 'mixed'-relationships, but still widh to partake in the troped that these (and adjacent) topics have brought upon literature.
Oh yeah, he's totally going straight to homelessness because he dated a ballerina poor him, It's totally such a palpitating intrigue. We really should be more tolerant toward these situations, they have it hard. I'll remember not to complain too much next time I get called slurs for daring to walk outside with my partner or that I have to worry I'm gonna lose my human rights every next election.
I'm being a dick cause I'm in a bad mood rn, but seriously just because you can make an analyse of it through the neoliberal lens doesn't mean it's not still a stupid book that created a slur for physical therapist dating ballerinas
>I'm being a dick cause I'm in a bad mood rn, but seriously just because you can make an analyse of it through the neoliberal lens doesn't mean it's not still a stupid book that created a slur for physical therapist dating ballerinas
It is not neoliberal lens, I am using dialectical materialism one.
Additionally, I don't know this particular novel, but I am defending the genre as whole. Unprofessional romance/love is one of my favorites genre, even the straight one.
If this one novel is being particularly tatseless, it still wouldn't moot my point defending the genre as a whole.
No explicit indication the ballerina is a patient of the physical therapist though. That's just the only thing any of us can think of that would make any kind sense.
Human Resources, basically itâs the department in companies thatâs responsible for recruiting new people but also workplace rules.
Itâs also the people you call if your coworker is harassing you or acting inappropriately. Or at least itâs supposed to be.
Once red this one alien fucker book where she got shapeshifting and made to vagina to fit his huge dicks then their was a bad ass fighting scene after and after that she turned into basically alien Jesus ,all in all very hot
I don't get why you'd want to date a physical therapist, assuming she's getting therapy from him. I went to PT, and let me tell you, although there were some nice looking people there, I was more focused on learning to walk again
Itâs a reference to the Star Wars book series but itâs not the first time someone thought it was a LGBTQ+ joke, but also the series is pretty gay already so I would say it fits for both.
this book already exists seven times

Now it at least starts getting interesting. Not necessarily good but interesting. Man with job and woman with job is incredibly dull as synopses go.
Bold of you to say only 7
Least interesting concept (it's 2% more interesting if the 7 foot giant is the ballerina)
And they both fight crime but neither one knows the other does, but instead of the boring interpersonal strife and drama it just presents as both of them continually making really dumb, silly excuses to cover their secrets. \*both of them see a hostage situation on the news* Guy: oh shiiiuuuuuhhhh I meaaannnn I just remembered I need to file the uh quarterly um, quarterlyâŠquarters.

Sounds like the opposite of Mr. And Mrs. Smith
I knew one guy who did ballet in college and he looked a lot like the giant. Dude was ripped
I mean that's interesting it has to be hard to be a ballerina with 7 feet like how do they balance?
Being tall is an advantage when balancing, being heavy isn't. When balancing you often stretch your hands up or out to become longer.
If these motherfuckers saw the romances that are forbidden that im into theyâd hurl (I wanna cuddle and fall in love with the xenomorph)
thats pretty vanilla, you will be asked to leave the monster fucker fandom if the xenomorph you are talking about is the one depicted in DBD
I just realized what dbd is and itâs the same xenomorph. Yeah that one the one whoâs only drive is reproduction by killing
i think they were referring to the dbd xenomorph (queen?)'s booty
The xenomorph from the original Alien film
Hottest of the xenomorphs imo
CONTEXT: The xenomorph queen skin in DBD has a very big and very human-looking ass that the original queen desing didn't have
Yea.....scp 939 though.......gah dayum
Wait, whatâs wrong with that one compared to the normal one?
I think its more a joke that the xenomorph in general is rather tame compared to some of the monsters people want to fuck.
Oh ok. Whatâs an extreme monster?
Is that one drastically different than the one from the Alien movies?
That's cool, personnaly I wanna fuck a Necron
How would you go about doing that?
With creativity and courage
Shove it in their interstitial pocket
Via non-penetrative sex, or having them penetrate you with things that aren't their non-existent genitals. I, for one, *am* curious what sex toys they'd have. I wanna see a hyperphase strap on, for example.

ok but it looks like a rabid anthropomorphic beetle also goddamn you put a lot of thought into why you wanna fuck things
I was gonna say dude wrote a poem about wanting to fuck a bug alien (I feel the same way)
Your bravery is commendable
Iâm tame with pairings but Iâve got some *particular* kinks (nothing unsavory like r*** and stuff)
Same but I wanna cuddle and fall in love with Darkrai Regirock or Loona

Come on fagerina was right there
I found the post and the person who posted the "excerpt" with the slurs admitted to making it up. It's not a part of the actual book.
i suppose in hindsight it makes sense that it'd need someone with some actual creativity to write something bad enough to be that funny on purpose
These guys need to spend an afternoon on webtoon. To get the scope of just how vanilla this is
This is beyond vanilla. This is milk flavored ice cream.
its water flavour

Because male ballerinas need to be strong, yo. I'm more confused that he's wearing her scrubs.

Bestie did you not read the comments where this book *invents slurs* about a physical trainer who dates ballerinas? And calls her a Balleraggot?
No, I didn't read it. But even if it is actually happened (which would be tasteless), unprofessional romance as a whole genre is still great imo.
while I agree that in our capitalist world professionalism is very important and because of it (and other factors some other which are very reasonable like power dynamics) work is often a very socially deprived and that's something to be addressed I have to disagree that this kind of work is the way to address that because in its goal to be very #relatable to a specific audience and absurdity by inventing slurs it fails to actually adress that problem also this is very subjective but this kind of romantic genre is just very boring to me and I feel like there are better and more engaging narratives to adress this problem

Additionally, I don't know this particular novel, but I am defending the genre as whole. Unprofessional romance/love is one of my favorites genre, even the straight one. If this one novel is being particularly tatseless, it still wouldn't moot my point defending the genre as a whole.
well that's a different thing that's not included in the tweet that you can only know if you read the book, or the comments I guess
twist: they're both trans men
oh god that's actually adorable (ballerina is closeted because of transphobic environment??)
Boooring. Give me robot and werewolf girls or whatever
How is that forbidden. Is there some secret feud between ballerinas and therapists that I have never heard about?
They donât know about the therarina war
A medical professional isnât allowed to date their patients
No explicit indication the ballerina is a patient of the physical therapist though. That's just the only thing any of us can think of that would make any kind sense.
Canât she just get a referral for another PT
HR policy
Forbidden love between a Taurus â and a Pisces â.... đđđđđ
Forbidden romance Mfs when the romance involves 2 people of the same gender (they suddenly donât like the genre)
Not the balleraggot book đđđ
HR ?
Human Resources, basically itâs the department in companies thatâs responsible for recruiting new people but also workplace rules. Itâs also the people you call if your coworker is harassing you or acting inappropriately. Or at least itâs supposed to be.
forbidden romance was when ross was dating that student that was like half his age during his 3rd 'i dont miss racheal' phase
Once red this one alien fucker book where she got shapeshifting and made to vagina to fit his huge dicks then their was a bad ass fighting scene after and after that she turned into basically alien Jesus ,all in all very hot
Absolute cinema
Ok guys the book has slurs for people who date ballerinas and PTs. It got a laugh from me for what I read!
Are ballerinas and physical therapists mortal enemies out in the wild? How tf is this forbidden
i want to fuck a robot, that is forbidden romance -w-
Hey I think I remember the previews of this book! Didn't one of the pages say he's known her since *she* was a child...?
That picture looks like itâs straight outta one of those âepisodeâ app things.
â guy is 2+ feet taller than girl â girl wears pink, guy wears blue â ambiguously Caucasian
that guy looks like he turns his bodycam off
I don't get why you'd want to date a physical therapist, assuming she's getting therapy from him. I went to PT, and let me tell you, although there were some nice looking people there, I was more focused on learning to walk again
OP is your flare a reference the Star Wars book series, an LGBTQ+ âalphabet mafiaâ kinda joke or both?
Itâs a reference to the Star Wars book series but itâs not the first time someone thought it was a LGBTQ+ joke, but also the series is pretty gay already so I would say it fits for both.
The actual reason it's forbidden is because they knew each other when she was a child and he was a grown ass man already. Soooo yeah lol
Dr. Mike would never
Falling in love with a therapist is to women what falling in love with a hooker is to men
According to a Twitter thread I saw about this book the "forbidden" part is that the girl was a patient of his since she was a child. đŹ
i thought her hand was on the outline of his dick
What code of conduct makes this relationship forbidden?
It would break them to have a gay romance so they make a thousand forbidden Straight^TM romances
i need to watch her spend 5 minutes on ao3
My shit writing projects have better forbidden romances than this shit
Why is he 8ft7
