why is everyone insisting that francesca loves john romantically when it is so clear that like. she loves him and appreciates him as a friend? and she was soooooo relieved to find one (1) man that she could stand being around and actually wanted to be partners with even though she didn’t feel anything for him romantically, so she latched on immediately and rushed the wedding so she wouldn’t have to worry about courting anymore.
i haven’t read the books and i have no idea what happens next (regardless of if they choose to follow the original plot or not), but as a lesbian who experienced severe comphet around francesca’s age, it was incredibly clear what she was going through. if they choose to make her bi, obviously that’s completely fine, but i’m just confused as to where it’s coming from?
#like. this isn’t even really a headcanon because they’ve given us so much already?#the talk she had with violet about not having passion but just a steady and mutually beneficial partnership#the disappointment after john kissed her#their FIRST KISS which was on their WEDDING DAY#which especially sticks out in a show where almost all couples are physically and romantically intimate long before they’re married#and just like. her entire part 1 arc? of not being interested in men at ALL?#i completely thought they were making her ace until part two#and then i was like OH!#but i am just confused why there is so much discourse on this😭#and so many people like. Adamantly insisting that she’s bi even though we have no concrete evidence for any label yet#hopefully i don’t get death threats for this i have just been Thinking#anyway.#bridgerton

still love this
I literally think about it all the time, anon, haha.
#it must be such a strange thing to be so intimate when you've obviously built a close friendship too#like it's one thing when you're co-workers doing a job but they're that and also calling each other#your greatest creative partnership and best friend and talking about how you text every day#it's just like layers and layers of genuine and performed intimacy that must take a lot of work to compartmentalise#jam asks

Scientist and Scoundrel
they're not dating and they're literally married and also fucking the same (two different) guys (not literally but in my heart) and ALSO they can't wait to go to each other's funerals knowing they could've changed the outcome. im insane about them
#ask#scioundrel (<- shipname i just made up on the spot) is like#they're haters for haters that constantly get on each other's nerves and say they'll be glad to watch the other go#but also they cant exist without each other in a borderline codependent way. and also they know everything about each other#in a '“suspiciously intimate knowledge'' way#like the scoundrel complains about how the scientist puts on his shirt in the morning#and the scientist can talk for hours about how the scoundrel walks and does their hair#and all the delicate little ways they fiddle with their claws#but they hate each other and they cant stand each other and this is not a romantic partnership. it's barely even a marriage.#and. and yet.#anyway the little arrows pointing to fish and snake pngs are the funniest ideas ive ever had for a bingo ask game#ur welcome

i feel bad for having romance in so many of my stories but i hope that they come across as different flavors of such bcs people will naturally go about that in different ways or not at all if it's not something they desire or are into. idk. i'm a hopeless romantic either way.
#stormy shouts#blake and saiph my yuri legends#consummate their relationship by blake asking if they're a thing bcs they've been very intimate beforehand#and saiph is like do you want to be? and blake is like [shaking] I Do and saiph is like yay me too! ^_^#their relationship's very long term partnership when we see them in the future#for tutto fa brodo i leave it up for interpretation with matteo and another dude. there are homoerotic undertones throughout though.#but phanuel and matteo's relationship is. bad. i want to make that as clear as possible LOL.#niamh's whole deal is probably the most quintessential yaoibait of the bunch.#weregoat rooms with somebody bcs they can no longer afford their apartment with their community college professor salary#and then learns that they're a vampire. but the vampire is chill and doesn't wanna drink their blood. they have bloodpacks in bulk#things continue to escalate from there#chromatic polarity features another classical romance trope of enemies-to-lovers but it's enemies-to-friends-to-lovers#it's a slowburn sorta situation and i wanna do it justice#but yeag 👍

the bear tag is so full and busy. really feel like i did my job for season one and now i can just rest and reblog.
#the bear#truth is im stuck at ep9 31:40#its past midnight but i keep coming back to it#its the song its the bright light its#the under the table minimal space moment#its the back to back listening to e/o concerns#and carm finally wording how much syd’s coming into the restaurant#into his life#shaking his space and craft#‘made him better at this’#and the cook talk… feeling like the most intimate shit#the eye contact and smile and complice contentment#and what if she just like completely melt and fail#he wont let you… he’ll stay by ur side#she looked for re-assurment in their partnership the whole time#and he is really.. There#the song?? god.#the light never been this warm#let me rewind

quadrant of boys who will scream at you while you're having a panic attack (and they're all capable of having emo hair too)
#you'll be sitting there hyperventilating during the worst flashback and he'll be like ''HOW CAN I HELP YOU??? WHAT DO YOU WANT???''#autistic+psychotic intimate partnerships lives to rule yet another day

“What if society placed the idea of love and romance , “the one”, special someone, a significant other, a soulmate, your spiritual double, the beloved one was revolved on friend instead of a partner?”
#amatonormative society#fuck partner primacy#I’m not speaking in platonic context#but the perception if people place importance in friendships instead of marriage#what if you can have beyond romantic connection with your friends#that is considered a norm to prioritize your past relationships or intimate friendships?#i believe it would be a cool idea#i like the sound of it#imagine if friendship was considered a relationship#just like any romantic relationship#imagine having ''dates'' with your beloved friend or a small circle of close friends#without people assuming that you are actually dating and planning to have a partnership with them#being partners

I Love the way I cycle through games. Me opening up my switch to find animal crossing. I take it out, find the animal crossing case. Open it up, Oh no there's a game! But Wait. It's fire emblem, the game I was gonna be looking for anyways! All is well in the world.
#speculation nation#i was being melodramatic earlier. my switch turned on after like 15 mins#still an annoyingly long time but not as long as last time#i have a habit. since i only use physical games. of grabbing the game i want to play#then switching it out. not bothering to find the case for the previous game. and just putting it in the case for the new game.#which works fine until it's been months since i last did shit with this stuff and i open up a case only to find smth completely unrelated#and i will cycle thru games like this. shoutout to when i did this with smt v botw and fe3h#just kinda. did a cycle of the 3.#sometimes a game is a partnership between two games that u r playing back to back#switching between them. awfully intimate methinks

im reading a lot of research about the mycorrhizal network because this is a HUGE emerging area of research and there is so much new stuff coming out its sooooo neat
So basically "the mycorrhizal network is how trees send each other nutrients and help each other" is wrong,
but the main reason people were mad at it—because they thought everything in the ecosystem is selfish and competitive acting for its own interests—is much wronger.
How come?
Well...fungi aren't just a postal service for trees. They have lives of their own! Plants aren't just controlling the mycorrhizal network to send nutrients where they want, they are communicating with the fungus and negotiating the terms of that relationship.
The genetic basis in plants for forming the mycorrhizal symbiosis is old. REALLY old. Like, "before plants even came onto land" OLD. Other forms of symbiosis, like what legumes have going on with the Rhizobia, are using the same genes to do their thing. There's a LOT of genes involved with creating the symbiosis, including some redundancies just to be safe, and we're only just now starting to understand them.
Why so many genes? What are all these genes for? Everything! Communication chemicals, hormones the other partner will respond to, flipping switches in the other partner's genes. There was a lot of arguing over which partner, the plant or the fungus, was "controlling" the partnership, but this question turned out to be total nonsense. Both symbionts have to recognize each other, respond to each other, prepare for symbiosis by adjusting how their genes are expressed, form the symbiosis, and continuously negotiate the relationship by exchanging chemical signals. Both can actively select the partner that offers the best benefits. There's even experiments where it's been shown that if the fungus turns parasitic, the plant will start secreting fungicidal chemicals. (But also the mutualist fungi in the experiment outcompeted the parasitic one when the pots were seeded with both.)
Mycorrhizal symbiosis is an incredibly intimate relationship. Like, the fungus produces special organs that literally grow inside the plant's cells, and the plant is actively participating in allowing this to happen. The plants and fungi have genes for hormones used by the other species, they have soooooo much stuff encoded in their DNA for interacting with their symbionts, it's like, blurring the lines for whether they're even separate organisms. There are SO many chemicals involved in communication between them and we only understand a few of those chemicals.
This is SO MUCH COOLER than if the plants were just using the fungus as a passive conduit to communicate with and support each other. The fungus is actively participating!
We were fools and assumed there had to be one partner that was "in control," but both plant AND fungus have to initiate and to some extent they're each engaging on their own terms! Or maybe it's better to think of them as one and the same organism?
We're also finding out that there's a lot more types of mycorrhizal symbiosis than we thought (at least five) and a lot more variety in how it works.
And that's not even getting into fungal endosymbionts—fungi that live inside plant cells completely instead of having part of them be outside and in the soil. They aren't considered mycorrhizae because they're fully inside the plant cells and not connected with any soil fungi network but they do a lot of complicated things we don't understand and interact with the plant's other symbionts.
Fungal endosymbionts produce a lot of chemicals that are useful to the plants in some way, and it turns out, that a lot of them kill cancer. Seriously, we've gotten a LOT of anti-cancer drugs from these guys. I think it's because they have to bypass the plant's immune system, but they also fight each other/other little guys that get inside plant cells, so they kind of...are part of the plant's immune system?
And what's MORE
Is that plants and fungus aren't the only things part of this system! There's also bacteria that are symbiotic with the plants and fungi! Even the endosymbiont fungi have bacteria that are endosymbionts inside THEM. Double endosymbiosis.
I think I read one paper saying the bacteria use the fungi to get around? Like that's how Rhizobia find their way to the legume roots in the first place? Have to double check that one

rando cute lil headcanon, but while hes defo aro, volo still likes sweet romance novels a lot. hes soft. he yearns. he will not tell a soul abt this fact.
#i could write a whole essay on aro vole n how he perceives himself in like a theoretical life partnership n how yes. he yearns v much.#i will keep quiet for now.#snap snips#i could aslo. and have. written an essay abt how sorry. this man is only suave n charming when he doesnt have to be personal n intimate#n in an actual serious relationship he is very awkward n very not confident in his abilities until he (eventually. key word) warms up#to the idea of being vulnerable#but again. my lips are zipped :x

“Friendship can be romantic.”
#our culture puts so much emphasis on romantic partnerships#there’s even an academic#term for it:#amatonormativity#meaning that we think that partnerships are superior#this can lead to desperate feeling obsession#with finding a partner#that not only hurt us#but it isolate us#and it domes more damage than help#yes friendship aren’t always platonic they can be deeply romantic#sometimes satiate our desire deep seated in our subconscious#the desire for that type of connection#while it’s different for everyone i respect that#intimate friendship#love your friends
