getting the polycule into a drama series

made some versions of the agony grip for my friends for when the whole gang gets it . including different levels depending on the anguish

and a joyous one for when there is love abound

[polyamorousmood]

So I'd like you to meet my partners. This is the broken, this is the beaten, and this is the damned.

"How do you deal with jealousy?" Like, a lot of ways, but also sometimes you just feel it and move on.

I feel jealous when a street cat goes up to someone else instead of me, doesn't mean I carry around cat treats in an effort to prevent random cats from ever picking someone else 🤷‍♀️

What if "If you love them, set them free" but you DON'T break up with them about it tho👀

[polyamorousmood]

secret third thing (a desire to be close to multiple people simultaneously fuels both)

[polyamorousmood]

For every "But how could you manage [X example of competing priorities]!!" that people have about polyamory, I'm here to tell you there IS a monog version of that problem.

Let's come out swinging with "but this person will always love/prioritize the other one more!!" being not actually that fundamentally different from dating a single parent who will always put their kid first. Different type of relationship, sure. But someone else's needs will still always come before yours, including limiting when, how, and how much you can date.

Probably bad poly date night idea: "fuck, marry, kill" about your polycule members

This week on "Things That Aren't About Polyamory to Anyone but Me"...

Sometimes I’m talking to a friend and I’m like oh I KNOW that the timeline where we are married in is incredibly close to this one. If a butterfly had clapped its asscheeks somewhere ten years ago we would be making out right now.

[polyamorousmood]

Polyamory is wholesome Polyamory is family-friendly Polyamory is fun!

[polyamorousmood]

All traditional forms of love are not enough btw. Resorting to blood magic

[polyamorousmood]

Pretty polyam of middle school girls to have a crush on the whole boy band, if I'm being honest

[polyamorousmood]

When someone is trying to walk the opposite direction from us on the sidewalk:

polyamorous culture is figuring out a semi-functional way to walk around with three people holding hands lol

now if only we can figure out four…

polyamorous culture is taking over the entire sidewalk

[polyamorousmood]

I love the found family trope.

Don't like seeing two as the parents and the rest as siblings though. There's a different dynamic I prefer and well... I'll let you read the username

Just saw the most gorgeous person while at a restaurant, on a date with my partner, asked for their number, and got it, while my partner cheered me on.

This is peak polyamory. This is what peak fulfillment looks like. I can't get over how perfect this feels.
