#(she would not consider herself in a throuple w/ hale & jax even if she's sleeping with them both for instance)

anyway. also worth knowing: astoria is extremely tactile always. she may be startled if she's touched first but unless she's told otherwise she's constantly touching her friends or her partners in some way. she will play with their hair, she'll hold their hand, when they fall asleep together she'll be wrapped around them with all of her limbs. she has and will likely continue to kiss her friends on the mouth totally platonically. she has a deep need for intimacy and so when she loves and trusts someone she really sinks into that intimacy fully, both emotional and physical. in extremely close friendships she will have sex with them without it necessarily being a romantic or even all that sexual thing - it's just friends who love each other having a nice time. and truthfully in really intense friendships the line between platonic and romantic is generally kind of blurred for her anyway? the romantic is different from how it is with a romantic partner, but that love is just very deep and very overwhelming and she doesn't see any reason good enough to stifle or contain it.
