open starter
A blind date is definitely not how TK wants to be spending his Saturday night, but Nancy had insisted that this guy was gorgeous (or, turned out, a friend of a friend did) and she just wouldn't stop insisting, so TK had no choice but to eventually agree. If one night of pretending he enjoys fancy dinners and making pleasant conversation with a stranger will get Nancy off his back, then he's happy to suffer through it.
TK knows next to nothing about the guy, other than the fact he's gorgeous and supposed to be wearing blue, so the moment he enters the restaurant and spots someone wearing a blue shirt at a table at the far wall, alone, he's off to join them.
"Hi, sorry I'm late." God, the guy had probably already assumed TK had stood him up, as surprised as he looked. "I'm TK. And I promise I'm usually not this astronomically late. Traffic was a nightmare."

OKAY. Am I the only one fascinated by how much Alastor in s1 has interacted with other demons and built a potential for considerable amount of different, broad and unique relationships? With All of them being non-romantic/sexual?
I really don't wanna dive into the discourse of shipping coz honestly, I do think that erasing Al's aroaceness is not cool at all. Personally, I don't see him wishing any romance/sex at all, and well. Considering how platonic he actually is throughout the season, it kinda seems like people forget that friendship (or basically anything non rom-sex) exists in the first place.
Coz, like, let's see what we got::
Vox -- probably one-sided (psychosexual) crush from Vox with possible past friendship between them, them hating on each other yet having (used to have) some respect as well. The ANGST, the drama (for both of sides). Insert aroace troubles (possible aphobia from Vox? Or not? He may be biggest ally as well!) and Vox's petty feelings that are insanely interesting to explore (and laugh at).
Lucifer -- immediate hate that (with a course of events) can turn into forced bonding. The potential of queerplatonic parenting of Charlie is HUGE here. Insecurities from Al? Forced care? Banters? SHENANIGANS? Luci patching up Al after battle, prolly discovering his deal and them slowly bonding on shared interests? Hey.
Rosie -- literal established queerplatonic partners, married for tax benefits, spending their evenings gossiping, hating on Susan and Al rolling his eyes on another romance-rel drama Rosie was trying to help sb with. Rosie can have insane influence on him whether it is understanding modern things or just being with him when he needs it. It also gives off mom/son to me.
Husk -- fucked up master-pet not-friendship with probable care rooted since they were closer in past. Is it toxic? Yes. Is it giving off some problematic dynamic? Sure. Yet it's fucking complex on its core considering pilot, bits and pieces of their interaction and how easily Husk used to insult Al until he overstepped. Them two are quite similar if you think about it and if Al got over his ego it could benefit him a lot.
Niffty -- daugther/father dynamic with them sharing one sadistic-psycho braincell and genuinely enjoying each other's quirks. Protective Al? I just need more Niff and them two being partners in the most outrageous crimes.
Mimzy -- friendship going since they were humans, with them having an amazing (potential) backstory of sharing evenings on two. Al enjoying her company as well as being protective and helpful to her with nothing in return.
Charlie -- manipulated into trusting you as a dad figure? Don't tell me there is nothing below Al's creepy plans or that he wouldn't grow to care for her. He already is proud of her and finds amusement in her inspiration-skills (also, performance is his thing for a reason)
Angel -- I was honestly kinda upset we didn't see any interactions between them except one sex joke, coz my past era of Hunicasts was a fuel to their duo. Them bonding over how different they are is the best description of their dynamic. Also banters and body-puns.
You can't just erase Alastor from interacting with people, but putting him inside boxes of allonormative relationships while he has such a fucking huge potential for everything beyond just that - is quite.. disappointing. People turning a blind eye to a wide variety of relationships he can have (potential to which is set in canon) for the sake of just romance/sex is low key sad.
It's AWESOME to see ppl actually understanding it and.. damn THANKS to everyone who explores Al's relationship with others without it involving final wish to stick tongues into places. Dynamics can be interesting and exciting without it.
I really don't wanna project my romance-aversion onto Al, but when romance and sex is one thing you see everywhere.. it's hard to just let it slip.
You are allowed to do whatever you want, exploring physical intimacy is fun as well, and having Al, well, there are bunch of ways to show it with respecting his orientation and the fact that IT AFFECTS RELATIONSHIPS/ATTRACTIONS but please just don't make it the center of your attention, the one thing relationship revolves around, coz sadly it's just exactly how it looks like from some folks.

4, 5, 16?
4. say something nice about a ship you don't ship (it can be another ship in your fandom, a mutual's OTP, etc)
There’s not much that I don’t ship! kevaaron you’re on thin fuckn ice (im joking) (mostly) (you can always try to change my mind)
5. Something you see in fics a lot and love
Anything from Andrew’s POV sends me feral if that counts. Also just anything where Neil’s panicking and Andrew puts a hand on the back of his neck and makes Neil focus on him. And grab Kevin’s face more yall!!!! Grab his chin!!! Stroke his jawline!!! Take his face between your fingers and dig your nails into his cheeks!!!
16. a tiny detail in canon that you want more people to appreciate
thisthisthis it’s not technically a “tiny” detail but this whole interaction can we pleeeeeasse talk about it more

Watching the AO3 top ship finals go down (here it is), and the amount of people talking about how the mlm ship (not naming it, in case I get dragged for having an opinion) deserves to win because it’s a part of Tumblr history is just… ridiculous.
Like, that is absolutely correct, but why exactly did it become a part of Tumblr history? Why has Tumblr had an obsession with non-canon (this particular ship is canon, though, but it seemed like a last minute decision from the writers) mlm ships, whilst ignoring any potential wlw ones?
Think just a little, guys. I promise you that you’ll get there.
(Dropping my favourite video ever because I can)

Mutuals challenge/Fantasy rp i guess idk. Tag at least 2 other mutuals in your continuation of this post so the story/game continues. The way it works is that you introduce your character in the story and involve them with the traveler. Lets see how wild the story gets. You characters can be literally anything. Feel free to use picrews or images to show what your character looks like. You can give as much or as little information about who they are, what they are, what's their purpose, etc as you want. I can't wait to see how this progresses. You can add to it as much as you like. Please tag who ever you want as well as your mutuals

The sun sets on a fantastical world in which a lost traveler walks through a quaint village offering a variety of goods and services.
