[lesbianfakir]

Hiii sorry to come at you with this out of nowhere but, even though I don't share the same headcanon for them *specifically* it makes me happy to see that queerplatonic fakiru post pop up on my dash now and then. As an aroace person, even among other aces it feels like people are either against the term, or if they're nice about it, it's in a patronizing i-dont-understand-but-good-for-you-kiddo way so it's just really nice to come across people who Get It ❤️❤️❤️

omg hi I LOVE your art and I was so so excited to see you in my ask box. You've made literally one of my fav tutu art pieces ever and I think about it constantly

back on topic, aaaa ty!! I love fakiru a whole bunch and it's really fun to explore them in ways that aren't necessarily romantic. I like to call them my schrodingers couple where they're in love romantically and platonically simultaneously in my head and which one I'm running with largely depends on my mood on any given day. That said, I'm arospec myself so I tend to write them as what my self-indulgent relationship would look like and that's largely queerplatonic.

And god you're so right about how people treat queerplatonic relationships!! It's so rare to see queerplatonic headcanons, especially with a fandom darling like fakiru. I was actually really scared people would be weird about my aro duck posts but I'm super stoked to see the positive reception. There's a real need for good representation of queerplatonic relationships but as it is I feel they just get bowled over in favor of romance which is seen as a more "real" form of love/companionship

Anyways sorry for writing so much, I love talking about my queerplatonic fakiru headcanon and I got excited!!
