#but their platonic relationship is SO important

[fawnxtdoor]

I LOVE FRIENDSHIP this is so so so real i’ve always felt that platonic feelings and affection are so ignored in society like bro friendship can be just as important as romantic relationships like the idea of a platonic life partner is actually very compelling to me and no one i’ve talked to understands that 😭

I think people should be allowed to sleep in the same bed in a non sexual and non romantic way. I think cuddles can happen non sexually and non romantically. I think most acts of affection are non sexual and non romantic until you make it sexual or romantic (other than the obvious things like actual sex is sexual)

author's note: Hi everyone, thank you anon for the request, and hopefully you and the other readers will like this little fanfic.🩷🩷

disclaimer: Everything in this fanfiction is purely fictional and nothing corresponds to reality. Slightly smutty ending.

You studied the photo on your phone closely. Tilting the device back and forth to avoid the glare on the screen and to find evidence of what you had told yourself over and over again in the past few days. It was Alexias’s post and naturally she looked stunning on it, smiling into the camera. Jenni was captured in side profile as she was turning towards you. She looked as cool as she always did. You were sandwiched between those two gorgeous women and the longer you stared at the photo, the less you felt like you fit in.

You couldn’t resist, your thumb instinctively clicked at the little speech bubble and the comment section opened. You already knew what was about to come.

Y/n just posted .. (let's pretend reader is Teresa in this picture)

User69: Are all three of them a thing?!

userloveswoso: no way. I mean Alexia and Jenni make sense but…

xXUserXx: yeah, they’re hot together but y/n kinda ruins it. Not sure what they want with her

You felt your stomach drop and your throat tighten immediately. While you continued to scroll through the comments, Alexias’s voice echoed through your shared flat: “Amor, where are you?”

The playful sing-song in felt completely out of place.

You cleared your throat and called: “In the bedroom!”

Instead of Alexia, Jenni shouted from the hallway: “Oh, I’m coming.”

You usually would have smiled about her eagerness to get into bed but right now, your eyes were still glued to that small screen in front of you.

Alexia groaned and scolded your girlfriend: “Jennifer, you can’t possibly always think of that one thing when you hear someone say the word bedroom.”

“What can I say? I was conditioned like a Pavlovian dog.”, Jenni laughed.

You felt their presence before you actually saw them standing in the doorway.

“Hi, did you get everything at the supermarket?”, you asked, forcing your voice to sound as casual as possible without looking up at them.

From the corner of your eye, you caught your girlfriends exchanging a glance.

“So, we’re not doing it?”, Jenni asked jokingly.

“Doing what?” You finally looked up at them and upon seeing Jennis’s smirk, you added: “Oh, you’re sure you don’t want to do it without me?”

Alexia frowned at you, her eyebrows knotting together in concern: “Okay, something is wrong. Tell us what’s going through your pretty head.”

“Pretty? Me?”, you repeated as she sat down on the bed next to you.

“Of course, you, you idiot.”, Jenni grinned from where she was leaning against the wall.

In contrast to hers, Alexias’s face was serious: “You act like we never say that to you.”

“The people seem to disagree.”, you said plainly and handed her your phone with a heavy heart. Jenni came over, leaning over Alexias’s shoulder as they both read through the comments.

The midfielder shook her head in disbelief. She was hurting for you as she saw what random people, complete strangers had to say about you and your relationship with them.:” Why would they say that?”

“Maybe they’re right.”, you whispered.

With a fierce passion Jenni disagreed:” No, those hiding behind their screens are wrong.”

Alexia said your name softly.

You almost couldn’t bring yourself to look in her beautiful hazel eyes. “Hm?”

“Don’t listen to them.”, she gently replied.

In your mind's eye, the hateful comments from the internet jumped out at you, and you quietly admitted: “It’s not that easy.”

“You can’t possibly believe that shit.”, the striker waved her hands in outrage.

In a tone that did not tolerate any protest, Alexia commanded: “Put the phone away for the night.”

“But..”, you started.

The blonde was quick to interrupt you:” You heard me.”

“Yes, relax, babe.”, Jenni tried to calm you down.

However, your thoughts left you no peace: “I don’t want to relax.” You could feel the panic rising in you as you spoke.

“You should though.”, Alexia responded.

Despite the worried look on your girlfriend’s faces, you observed:” No one says those things about any of you.”

“That’s not true, but besides who cares what they think?”, the raven-haired woman countered.

“I care, Jenni!”, you cried out.

It was in this moment that your lovers realized that you were in your early twenties, your career was on the rise, you still needed to learn how to deal with all of that outside pressure which came with being a public person.

The midfielder hated to see you so sad: “Calm down.”

To her great surprise, you got out of bed and announced: ”I’ll go for a walk.”

“Do you want us to join you or..?”, Alexia asked, sounding cautious.

Purposefully, you put on your shoes. You didn't have to think long about your answer to her question: ”No.”

As soon as you were on your way out, the door was just closing, the blonde let herself fall onto the bed with a tired sigh.

“Jenni, what do we do with her?”, her eyes wandered expectantly to her girlfriend who lay next to her.

Without giving it much thought, the older of the two suggested: “We have to show her that we know better than the stupid comments.”

“How?”

A dirty smile appeared on Jennis lips: “Well.”

“What if she’s not in the mood?”, Alexia objected.

The dark-haired woman began to stare at the ceiling, confessing with a wry smile: “Then I’m out of ideas.”

“Okay, we’ll try that.”, the midfielder decided.

A surprised laugh escaped Jenni's mouth: “Really?”

“Yes.”, she confirmed in a matter-of-factly tone.

It was early evening and there was a light breeze coming in from the sea that ran through your hair. The sunset was reflected in the water, which you could see from afar.

At the beginning of your walk, the anxiety weighed heavily on your young shoulders, but now that you were almost home again, you felt the weight lighten. The peace and beauty of the moment outweighed and calmed your inner turmoil.

“I’m back.”, you told your girlfriends once you stepped inside your shared appartement.

Again, it was Alexias voice floating over to you: “Come into the bedroom.”

“Uhm, okay.“, you said before you slipped out of your shoes and took a deep breath. You really didn’t feel like talking to your girlfriends again.

“Don’t let us wait.”, Jenni called too when you took too long to follow Alexias instruction.

You reluctantly did as you were told.

The bedroom looked a little different since you left it. There were candles burning everywhere and rose petals on bed. You had no idea from where they had appeared from. But most importantly, both of your girlfriends stood there in matching lingerie.

They looked incredibly hot but the sight of them like that was so surprising that it almost made you giggle: “Oh my god.”

Alexia reached out to you, gesturing to come closer: “Come here…”

“Seriously?”, you asked with a smile, still unsure if your eyes didn’t betray you.

Alexia nodded: “Yes, you know that I’m a serious person.”

“Hard to tell when you’re standing there in your underwear.”, you laughed.

Jenni, seemingly getting more and more impatient, walked over you with that typical mischievous smirk on her lips.

“Yes, and you, pretty girl, are still wearing way too many clothes.”, she grinned, her face close to yours. Skilfully, she slid her fingers under your sweater and started to lift fabric up.

“Excuse me? I didn’t say take them off.”, you protested jokingly.

Shrugging, Jenni pulled the shirt over your head: “No but I did.”

She immediately moved farther down, opening the button of your jeans.

Laughing, you pushed her away: “Stop.”

Alexia took Jennis spot right in front of you. Her thumb grazed over your cheek while she tenderly kissed your lips.

“Baby girl, do you still want us to stop?”

You blinked at her, your brain incapable of cooperating: “Uhm…”

None of your girlfriends moved until you gave them permission to keep going.

But you couldn’t resist, the desire was too strong.

You shook your head: “No.”

The smile Alexia and Jenni shared almost washed away the memory of these nasty comments again. They seemed genuinely happy that they were allowed to take care of you. You only realised that now. It wasn’t just about what you or anyone else thought. It was about what your girlfriends wanted. And they clearly wanted you.

Before you knew it, you laid on the bed in nothing but your underwear. Jennis fingers and Alexias lips were everywhere on your body. You loved it when they did that. It was almost like their playing styles on the pitch, complimenting and enhancing each other’s skills. There was no room for your own thoughts anymore. You were so absorbed in the action that you didn’t notice your phone sliding off the nightstand and landing under the bed. And if you had, you wouldn’t have cared. Their opinions were theirs, but your girlfriends made pretty clear that you belonged to them. That you were loved and desirable.

Rules And Settings of The Otome Au

Notes: So some of you wanted know the general rules and settings of this Au and I made this. I hope you like it. If there are still questions you have about this au feel free to ask me.

- English is not my first language

Parts : 1 , 2 , 3

System

The entity that brought you to this universe? Notifications and warnings appear on the status screen before each event. The status screen is a screen that only you can see. During the restrictions, choices are made on this screen.

Talking about the system with any character is completely forbidden. Movement restrictions come into effect as soon as you start talking about it. Although it is forbidden to talk about the existence of the system, this does not prevent some characters from feeling its presence.

You can learn information about the characters through the status screen, but most of the information appears depending on your love scale . Apart from that, if you are at a lower level, you cannot see information that requires a high level of love because it is locked.

Movement restrictions

Until the end of the prologue, you are completely restricted from acting with your free will, such as speaking and moving outside of the options given to you. You can only use your free will to choose the options given to you. However, at the end of the prologue, these restrictions are lifted and you can move and talk freely.

Events

You are notified by the system when the events will start. Participation in all events is mandatory. Interactions with some characters unlock secret story events.

Rewards and Penalties

Before each main story and events start, the system specifies the time, reward and penalty to be given. Attention, some events have hidden rewards and penalties. Be careful about this.

Examples of penalties: movement restriction, money cut , lowering the love meter.

Examples of rewards: increasing the love meter, cash reward, useful items.

Character relationships

Each character (including NPCs) has a love meter for you. These love scales increase or decrease according to their interactions with the characters. The low or high level of the love scales affects the events and some situations in the main story.

Not every love scale is a “love” scale. Depending on how the characters sees you , that scales can meant to be platonic or romantic . For this reason, you need to pay attention to how that character sees you. Not every love scale is romantic.

The increase in the love meter with the characters increases the probability of the characters entering dark mode. Dark mode = Yandere. Dark Mode depends on the emotional state of the characters. Each character's tendency towards Dark mode is different. Insecurity, suspicion, jealousy... all these negative emotions can cause dark mode, so you need to check all characters with high love meters frequently. Even if you are not on their route.

If more than one character has a high love meter, it can have different results. It all depends on how those characters see each other. For example: If we look at Leona and Malleus, you can expect instant dark mode and chaos, but it is not so important for Silver and Lilia. In short, the more characters have high love levels, the harder it is to control.

Yeah, anyway, friendly reminder that the OP is an alt-right account that made this post to incite the fanbase against Lauren and the show. The headline itself is misleading clickbait that was also meant to incite the fanbase against Lauren and the show. In the original article by Vulture, Lauren states that Henry Cavill was annoying because he was bugging her for the role before scripts had even been written yet (Henry Cavill had not even read the books when he was doing this, btw) and Henry Cavill himself said that he was being annoying.

Also, friendly reminder that Henry Cavill massively over-exaggerated how much of a fan he was of the franchise and how much he knew about it. He hadn't even read the books when he first sought out the role because he thought they were based off the video games, he didn't learn otherwise and even read the books until Lauren told him about them — and he only read the series once back in 2018 right before he was cast, and he's only really played the third game — which he hasn't even played the DLC for.

Also, by his own admission, he didn't actually do any research or preparation for the role at all.

“I asked my agent to put me on the spot and wanted to meet Lauren as soon as possible. I didn’t even need to prepare specially for the role. Because I breathe, I experience this universe every day. I’ve already had many opportunities to think about this character when I was playing the game. My preparation was already done before the casting even began!”

Henry Cavill also started the whole narrative about how important adhering to the source material is to him and how much he pushed for a more book accurate, verbose Geralt in the press for S2 in order to deflect from how he was the one who cut Geralt's lines in S1 in the first place, making his characterization inaccurate to the books. He also lied about the whole thing and tried to act like Geralt was never originally written as being as verbose as he is in the books when he was, he blamed Geralt's lack of dialogue on Yennefer and Ciri's prominence, and he tried to act like the lines he was cutting weren't that important anyway so it didn't really matter that he was cutting them.

Henry Cavill also created that whole narrative about how important the source material is to him as if Lauren's vision of the show was somehow in opposition to the books because he was actually just mad that that he was co-lead with two women and that the show revolves around women so much. (Just fyi for anyone who doesn't know, but Ciri is the main character of the main book series which the show started adapting from S2 onwards and women are central, key figures in the books to the point where the story could not exist without them.)

Henry Cavill was also directly responsible for, or at least had some hand in, a lot of the changes from the books. He cut Geralt's lines, as I've already said.

By his own admission, he didn't want to play Geralt and Jaskier's friendship as being as friendly as they are in the books. So, really, any kind of positivity about Geralt and Jaskier's relationship should solely be attributed to Joey and his performance, tbqfh, as he was the only one actually doing anything in their scenes.

Which even Henry Cavill himself basically admitted, js.

“Joey did all the work, I just had to take the right look and… we had a ready-made 'comedy.’”

Henry Cavill also cut a sex scene between Geralt and Yennefer in S2 because he didn't think it'd be in character of them to have sex after reuniting (it would've been, btw), he nixed the idea of Geralt and Triss even just platonically finding comfort in each other in S2 even though that happens in the books, and due to him not wanting to play Geralt struggling with fatherhood in any way in S2 nor with any character flaws and only positive character traits (because he was overcompensating for how he fucked up Geralt's characterization in S1) that led to the domino effect of Eskel's death, Yennefer's betrayal, and Voleth Meir being the big bad of the season.

Hope that helps!

Tells you everything you need to know about the people making these adaptations.

y/n quietly gulps as she fidgets with her fingers. She’s currently standing a few feet away from her friends as they stand at the counter, ordering their ice creams.

Normally y/n would be up there and ordering with them, but today her anxiety’s been pretty bad today.

After a few minutes, the other two approach her, Vi handing y/n her ice cream with a smile on her face.

“Here ya’ go, Muffin.” y/n takes it, a soft smile on her face.

“Thanks, Vi.”

“No problem.”

The three of them make their way out of the ice cream parlor and towards the park. Caitlyn and Vi chatted as y/n continuously observes her surroundings, making sure not to make any eye contact with any of the strangers that walk past them.

Once at the part, the three of them make their way over to a bench and sit down on it. While the other two continue to converse, y/n still looks around. Her breathing picks up some, which draws the attention of her friends.

“You alright there?” Caitlyn asks as places a hand onto y/n’s shoulder, causing her to break out of her trance and for her breathing to calm down a bit.

y/n nods, “yeah, just my anxiety’s been pretty bad today.”

Their eyes widened some.

“Why didn’t you tell us?” Vi asks, concern write on her face as she stands up and walks over to sit by y/n, “we could’ve gone back to one of our places if you wanted to.

“No, it’s fine.” y/n shakes her head, “I didn’t want to ruin our outing today.”

“You wouldn’t have ruined it.” Caitlyn says softly. “Your mental health is more important to us than our outings.”

“Yeah!” Vi chimes in, “and if you’re feeling up to it later, well, not today or tomorrow, but just whenever you’re feeling up to it, we can go out somewhere where there isn’t as many people around.”

y/n smiles at their words, “thank you.”

“Don’t mention it.” Vi says with a smile as the two of them pull y/n into a hug.

i nearly started crying at work because i remembered the kenhina friendship

it’s just... so pure... can you imagine a love without expectations? can you imagine someone seeing you and just... choosing you? no second thoughts? someone who, for all intents and purposes, isn’t anything like you, and yet has chosen you? for someone to see you and love you not despite but because of your faults? to meet your insecurities and boundaries with total acceptance and joy?

I feel like it's kids that are too young to watch the show that end up having very childish takes on the show. "Like oh what a big MEANIE how dare he use the word LOSER that's a bully word!!!"

Every bad take I have seen on Hazbin/the Hellaverse (especially relating to Husk & Angel) either come from a place of homophobia or just plain undeveloped brain misunderstanding.

I think people do lack media literacy but we are throwing around the term way too often & people aren't going to learn anything if you put them down for what was probably just a poor education out of their control. Obviously this isn't everyone, but especially with younger folks in fandom, you have to be gentle with discourse or they will learn to become bitter in their expressions.

To emphasise I think it's important we speak up about what the show is actually about, and the healthy + realistic portrayals they give the characters. Because really, I know damn well that if the show came out when I was too young I would've been all over it.

I hope that if anything that these unsupervised minors are able to learn about Queer dynamics, and what is and isn't healthy in relationships (platonic, romantic & in between!) if they do end up online looking for answers. I know most queers, especially of this generation, rely entirely on the internet for a proper education, so let's be the peers we wish we had growing up.

Sorry to write a whole essay under a very well written post!! I agree very much with the post, I just wanted to say this for a while & once I started I couldn't stop.

I think my greatest issue with the "Episode 4 is bad because Husk responds to Angel's abuse by calling him a loser" critique for Hazbin is it ignores the context and message of Loser Baby so blatantly it comes off as deliberate

It's only true if you listen to the first "You're a loser, baby" lyric and then turn the song off. Ignore the part where Husk then calls himself a loser and then says that's okay.

The whole point is even if you're trapped in a seemingly hopeless situation, hating yourself is not the way out. You still need to love yourself, AND you're not alone in how you feel. Someone understands and will accept you even as you are now. Those are the ingredients to hoping that things CAN get better

It's a genuinely beautiful message, and to write it off as "Husk calling Angel a loser" is so baffling to me. Especially from those who then go on to call the show badly written, it has its moments, but if you're misinterpreting a message that's being thrown at you like a banana pie... then I'm not sure what to tell you

The reason Psych is the Important Show of All Time is because it said "friendship is the MOST important thing." Like, yes, the romances were good but the show spends even more time emphasizing and developing the friendships and that's why it rocks. Lassiter and Juliet love and support each other unconditionally without even the slightest whiff of romance and it is SO. REFRESHING. When Juliet almost dies, Lassie sacrifices his favorite gun to save her without any hesitation. He's the one there to hold her while she cries. She's his confidant. She leaves everything she knows behind so he can chase his dream of being chief without reprocussion. That's a deep, wholesome kind of platonic love. They also never had Shawn be jealous of how close Jules and Lassie are - instead, in the final episode, we see Shawn thanking Lassie for loving and supporting Juliet. We simply don't do that jealousy crap here. Lassie and Jules are best friends and that's an excellent thing. And then there's Shawn and Gus. Those characters are narratively and physically inseperable. The show makes it VERY clear that, without the other, neither one is complete. They balance each other and exacerbate each other's hijinks at the same time. They're closer than close and everyone around them just accepts it. It's just the way those two dumb boys are and no one is going to try to get between that. And then, of course, SO many friendships develop over the course of the show. Lassie and Shawn form a begrudging friendship eventually. Juliet and Karen end up bonding more than I think either expected. Friendship is the beating heart of this series and it's presented in a way that is unique and fun and I just don't see a lot of other shows that do it like Psych did.

season 1 tao's "once you get into a relationship, friendships don't matter anymore" vs season 2 charlie writing "charlie ♡ tao" on the heart locket + "wait, isn't that for you and nick?" "no."

sorry yeah I'm just lil emotional over the portrayal of platonic love as something that can be just as worthy as romantic love. i'm okay.

[afurtivecake]

if andrew was a bit swayed by kevin, i cannot blame him in THE SLIGHTEST. kevin is like, specifically engineered to appeal to all of andrew's protective instincts:

fleeing horrific abuse from a grade-A asshole

thinks about going back to the abusive situation sometimes

needs him all the time

hot.

and on top of that, kevin tells him he's worth something and that he'll give him something to live for.

like idk what else andrew could have done. the man is not made of stone.

Need to gush again about how perfect Dorian's ending is. It's so important to me that while it was highlighted that Orym is and stays the most important connection in his life, Dorian holds the bonds with his friends in equally high regards. That man is so full of love that he has endless amounts to spare, romantically and platonically. Finding time for everyone is what gives his life meaning and that is the purest form of devotion you can imagine.

the whole tragedy of “we are the right people, i think … this is just the wrong time…” and renee knowing she and jean could never work because jean could never truly learn what it is to thrive instead of merely endure if he stayed in south carolina with the foxes and the whole “maybe in another universe” of it all, but this is quite literally the only universe in which jean moreau is alive

Annabeth: obviously I’m his best friend?

Jason: You can’t be both his best friend AND his girlfriend.

Frank: Exactly, that’s why I’m his best friend

Jason: Please, it’s so clearly me

Nico: I’d argue-

Thalia: Didn’t you try to kill him?

Nico: Best way to start a friendship, what can I say?

Thalia: That doesn’t mean anything. I’m his best friend simply because it pisses our dads off.

Clarisse: I’m RIGHT here

Leo: Guys, guys, it’s okay to admit it’s me

Annabeth: You guys are going to be so sad when you realize I can be both his girlfriend and his best friend

Percy: *sitting in silence - absolutely not getting involved in this*

All of them: *screaming over who is Percy’s best friend*

Grover: *stumbles into the room - fashionably late - carrying a coke can, two blue cookies from Sally, and cursing*

Percy: *leaps across the back of the couch and into his arms without a second thought* BELOVED

Grover: WAIT IM HOLDING PIZZA- *drops it and catches Percy*

Percy: Thou Romeo how I have missed you! *kisses Grover on the cheek - annoyingly wet*

Grover: *grinning* I have cookies

Percy, still in his arms and deadly serious: marry me.

Everyone else: *pouting at their seats*
