Day Two of the Techno and Phil event Techza week! I chose the prompt - Mythology!

There's nothing I hate more in the Phandom than people reacting to someone seeing it as queerplatonic with "umm just watch any of their videos lol" none of you actually fucking know what a queerplatonic relationship is if you think pet names, kissing, sex, "heart eyes", monogamy, living together forever, being soulmates, etc are exclusive to romantic relationships.

The whole point is that queerplatonic relationships are supposed to ignore all boundaries between "types" or relationships and be whatever the people involved want them to be. A queerplatonic relationship can be LITERALLY IDENTICAL TO A ROMANTIC ONE ON THE OUTSIDE and be queerplatonic if the people inside deem it so.

THEY ARE ALSO NOT EXCLUSIVE TO AROACE PEOPLE

Stop acting like calling them queerplatonic is the same as erasing all that shit because queerplatonic relationships can literally include that. If your argument is just "they do romantic things and aren't aroace" then you have a collosal misunderstanding of what a QPR is and are being an asshole!!!

In conclusion how about you just ignore them instead of reblogging their shit with nasty comments or taking screenshots or making memes about how they're "ignoring the facts" they aren't ignoring SHIT you're just ignorant

I've always seen them as romantic but I am this close to calling them queerplatonic out of spite. There is NO INHERENT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO WHATSOEVER BEYOND WHAT YOU CALL IT!!!

I understand that people are used to queer relationships being erased and can be jumpy about it but 1) their relationship is still queer either way 2) this doesn't actually erase or deny anything about their relationship nor make it "lesser" 3) if you're still so upset about it how about you block them instead of acting like the whole idea is some homophobic psyop

no one cares but i don't think tim and kon dated or will ever date, however i am 100% sure that they had/have the biggest crushes on each other and never found out

[read-write-thrive]

how much would I need to fuck with Niko and Monty’s genders to ship them

[le-panda-chocovore]

That "To me, Viktor has always been asexual" affirmation is kinda funny to me because sure, that's true, no one is questioning the creator's mind. You get to decide what's canon, you created him so yeah. That doesn't mean that the fans will stop shipping. Fandom will always be fandom and we gets more than enough material to build a relationship out of these two dramatic gays. People have been shipping canon straight males who are each in an actual relationship with a Female Lead for as long as fictional works exist.

Viktor and Jayce's relationship can 100% be simple bromance, or queerplatonic with no sexual attraction. I see them as partners because that's how they consider each other, they're partners, they're ending this together just like they started it together. Whether that word has a romantic meaning of not isn't the matter to me. Sometimes I'd say yes, sometimes I'd say it's unimportant.

I don't care about them kissing because whatever they have is stronger than any cliche romance trope. I don't care about them fucking because their sex life isn't something that need development to me.

Sure, Viktor is asexual, that doesn't mean he can't fall in love. And even if he was aromantic too, that didn't mean he couldn't be in a relationship either. And if he's straight and definitely not interested in any men, including Jayce, well, that's what fanon and fanfiction are for. Making up a bunch of things we would like to see happening, modeling the original work to our tastes.

Isn't that beautiful? That your creation inspires others to create on their own ? That you imagined something so pure and wholesome that people are drawing Love out of it ?

[scatterpatter]

What if I presented a whole complicated Megaman Classic AU except I didn't give a SHRED of context

Haha, just kidding!

... Unless?

No these aren't being presented in the order they were drawn in but they ARE presented in AU-timeline chronological order so like im at least a LITTLE kind with throwing these all at youse

[a-map-of-gays]

Once again thinking about BBC sherlock has the best representation of a queerplatonic relationship I've ever seen

[vivitalks]

“Parker,” Eliot hisses at the ceiling vent, “what the fuck?" Aw, shit. “Aw, shit.” Hardison grimaces, rubbing his head. In the…excitement of the night, he completely forgot about Parker. “Parker, why are you in the ceiling?” There's a long pause. “I don't understand the question,” Parker says.

Thinking more Thoughts about Skirk and Tartaglia and while he does seem to have had a drastic personality change while in the abyss, I personally enjoy the interpretation that Tartaglia was always Like That. It was always just kind of simmering beneath the surface, maybe not fully developed yet, but definitely there. He ran away from home for a reason, after all! It was too monotonous for him! He wanted something more! An adventure, a great battle! Literally all he took with him was a bag of bread and a weapon!

And Skirk was the first one to not only drag all that out of him, to see all these pieces of Tartaglia that he wasn't really sure about yet, but she embraced it (she "nurtured the ability to stir up endless havoc from within Ajax's trouble-mongering nature" according to canon), and that helped him to embrace it and sharpen it in turn.

So when they do finally reunite, and she of course calls him Ajax because that was how she knew him back then, I love the thought of Tartaglia noticing he strangely doesn't feel the need to correct her. He maybe tells her later that he changed his name when he became a Fatui Harbinger, because she would notice everyone addressing him differently from her, but it's just to state a fact. He doesn't tell her that she needs to call him "Tartaglia" too. Because the name change had been meant as a new start and a new path, something different and further away from the legend his father had named him after, but Skirk was the one person to see Ajax as he really was and not only fully accept, but encourage it. So he finds he doesn't mind it when she uses his old name. It's ok when it's coming from her. ♡

((...I mean all of this in a derogatory way btw, Skirk actively made him worse in the most hilarious way possible and I love that for her HEKDJJDKDMDMF))

[graceful-not]

Yk what actually. I'm sick of staying quiet Conya is a perfectly fine ship. I don't understand why people dislike it so much. In early Ninjago? Sure, back then it wasn't the greatest dynamic and didn't really have much in terms of actually substantive interactions. But people are still casually hating on it and putting it on DNI lists right next to ships like Greenflame like they're comparable and I'm sickkkk of it it's been YEARS!! Their dynamic has grown so much since then!!!! They're on the same level as Braincell for me in terms of ships I really like I think they have a great and interesting dynamic!!!! They're cute together!!!!!! EVEN OUTSIDE OF MUDSHOCK!!!!! RAGHH!!!!!!!!!

what's your agent's relationship with shara/watcher 2 (curious)

[drysauce]

i really liked the ending of the buddy daddies anime, i think it fits the story and what annoys me now are people who are trashing this ending because of that line about kazuki meeting with a girl and that he's not gay for rei, well they were never said to be gay it's just a headcanon. not dating doesn't equal not caring about each other, romantic love is not a necessity and a qpr is not inferior to a romantic relationship. they were shown to be a real happy family in the end, that's what is important here

Prompt: A hug when they really needed it

Metal is not always there to protect his charge. He does not like to think about that fact, even after successfully defending him from an ambush.

~619 words

-

Metal is not coded to shake.

There is nothing in his circuitry to mimic the effects of adrenaline, nothing in numbers and wires that would allow an agitated state of fight-or-flight, or put ice in the pit of a stomach he does not possess. 

Still, to look at him now, stood hunched and rigid in Stardust Neo form, four-point gaze fixed on the threat now passed before him, one could be forgiven for assuming he's coming down from a rush of adrenaline.

He processes. Processes again. Considers. Reconsiders. Scans. Re-scans and confirms, wonders, wonders, wonders.

A drop of red falls from the tip of his claws into the snow. His gaze sweeps up and over the fell beast collapsed on its side in its own pool of red and more red. It had lunged at them, from camouflage to all teeth and claws, aiming to make a meal of his charge. He should have seen it before it ever moved at all. He did not. And now it is dead. Is it dead? There are no others. Are there any others? It had not managed to snap its jaws around his partner. What if it had? What if the next beast they encounter does? What would he do then? What would it look like, feel like, to see gold-into-black blood mixed in with crimson? To find Shadow with one less limb? To go home with no Shadow at all?

He is reminded of broken quills and hours-old blackish blood thrown together on ice. Of the uncertainty then, years ago, and wondering if all that would ever remain of his Shadow were quills and a tattered blanket.

There is ice and snow on the ground here, too.

There are no broken quills at his feet. He has confirmed there are not. And yet he cannot help but wonder: What if there were? There are no other signs of a struggle. What if he had not been there? What if he had not been fast enough? What if he had failed, like so many times before?

Another second passes. Another drop of red stains the snow beside him.

The ability to wonder is a plight on his systems.

"It's alright," a rattled voice from somewhere behind assures themself as much as him. He does not hear it. "I'm alright. Thank you."

Metal is not coded to shake. But what if, what if, what if—

"It's alright," the voice says again, more strongly this time, and his tactile sensors pick up on a warmth enveloping his forearm.

His processors turn in the direction of the sensation before his head does, and when he does look, he finds Shadow with his arms wrapped around one of his own as best he can manage. Metal's forearm in this form is nearly the length of Shadow himself, and yet he manages. He tugs Metal's towering figure downward, turns his torso, and pilots him into an embrace. 

Metal's eyes flicker to process. He can barely comprehend what might compel Shadow to extend a gesture like this. Was it not Shadow who was nearly struck down only moments ago? Is the hug for Shadow's own comfort, to ease his own nerves? His breathing is normal. His heartbeat is still accelerated, but slowing. Surely there must be something his sensors aren't picking up on—and he doesn't question it. Metal's free-again arm reaches around to numbly return the gesture in attempt to provide that comfort before he realizes.

Is it for him? Is Shadow trying to calm him?

"You are alright," Metal repeats. It's not a question, not a reassurance—it's a statement, an acknowledgement.

To say it aloud is to make it real, and for once, it benefits him.

quick question for my other OCxCannon/selfshippers on here; do yall get asked uncomfortable questions about how your pair have biological kids? or am I just getting asked these extremely personal questions specifically because Sharron & Raph are queerplatonic and don't fit into a standard relationship box? /genq
