#Happy QPR Day!

[artistic-argonian]

Found out today (if you're not in the UK like me, because I can never finish these things before midnight for some reason) is QPR day, and as someone who experiences (probably) queerplatonic attraction and thinks queerplatonic relationships are a beautiful thing, I felt like drawing something for the occasion.

zolu aroace positivity post!!! because if you're aroace and you celebrate the gift that is zolu, I want to share why they mean so much to me as an aroace.

what makes zolu so special to me is because first and foremost, zoro and luffy went out to the vast open seas of the world to chase after their dreams. luffy wants to be the pirate king, zoro wants to be the best swordsman. even after being recruited, even after all they went through, they never stopped having their dreams as the forefront of their characters. but it just so happens that both their dreams are intertwined with each other, the best swordsman in the world's most fitting place is by being right next to the pirate king, and the pirate king believes that he would reach his goal by having the best by his side.

the reason why I believe zoro and luffy's relationship is so strong is because by fighting for their own dreams, they also strengthen their bond with the other. zoro wants to be strong to be the best swordsman, but it's also to protect the crew and to best support luffy as he guns for the title of pirate king. luffy wants to be strong to be pirate king, but it's also to protect the crew, but also? by being strong, he proves time and time again that his crew did not make the wrong decision to follow him, that he is a Captain that deserves to obtain the one piece (i think of luffy aiming to be strong so that his crew will never have to falter about his leadership, especially after water 7).

as an aroace, this feels like the best way to showcase love and devotion and trust with each other. knowing that someone's dream becomes a part of your own, that every time you fight for yourself and you aim to be a better version of yourself, you're not only working for your own sake but for the better of you and your partner. that i come to love my partner because they understand me, and they know why i fight so hard to reach my goal. and not only that, they fight as equally hard for their own goal. together, both of our dreams ultimately help each other become the best version of ourselves.

knowing that zoro believes in luffy wholeheartedly that he fought for his dream too, enough to put his life on the line for luffy. knowing that luffy can leave his most precious family and crew to zoro because he trusts zoro wholeheartedly to win.

to me, this is how I envision love. it's about getting to know each other, understanding each other, loving each other to the point that their dreams become yours, and fighting together side by side to make that dream come true.

zoro and luffy have that in spades. imo, zoro and luffy's appeal as a relationship is that they are intertwined with each other, and they go through hell and back and fight for each other and their dreams together. it's no wonder that aroace people like me are drawn to them, their love and bond transcends just having an attraction to each other. because it's also about having this person change and inspire me to be better.

It’s like i want to be the most important person in your life but I don’t want to kiss your lips or have sex with you

[silly-fox-and-its-stuffies]

the intimacy of being on a sleep call with your best friend and waking up and they're still there and maybe the world has problems but its okay bc you have each other <33333

I want to get married and have kids one day, hopefully soon, but like . . . I don't necessarily think I want to be/will ever be truly "in love" with someone. I've always envisioned getting married to a kind and honest man, going on adventures together, being silly with each other, having a great time as best friends, but I never really thought about being romantically in love with this fantasy guy. I want someone who I'll be excited to walk through life with and who'll be excited to walk through life with me, too, going through major milestones together and cherishing each other, but like, literally as ultimate best friends. That's always been all I want.

And listen, I don't even care if this person is asexual or not. Sex, like romance, has never been something that caught my interest or was a big desire for me. It's nice for others, but like, I really just want some cuddles and hand holding, even in public, and best friends can do that. Maybe some kisses as a way to further show love for each other, but platonically. If they happen to not be interested in sex except for reproductive purposes, too, then great, but if they do like sex then that's fine, too--go out and have a good time while I stay in and read, just don't bring any diseases back for when we try for babies, ya know?

Just. A queerplatonic relationship that leads to marriage and kids with a good fellow Christian guy that makes every other person who sees us go, "Aw! A wonderfully in love couple!" but we're over here laughing like "Nah mate, this is my ULTIMATE BEST FRIEND and I love them SO FUCKING MUCH but like, no romo." Ya know?

Does . . . does this make any sense to anyone else??

I'm not super big on sanemi x giyuu, not because I don't think they could go together well but because I feel the kny fandom makes their relationship too generalized and can mischaracterize them quite a bit.

The whole thing about these two is that they DON'T get along like at all, they misunderstand each other and have bad coping mechanisms that accentuate the misunderstanding a lot. I think they could definitely start understanding each other and getting along after demons are eradicated but their personalities would not change. Like sanemi would still be rough at times, with his words or actions and giyuu cold as well.

Of course to each their own, that's just what I think after all just wanted to give my two cents on the ship. I still think it's a cute ship when they aren't crazy out of character.
