#hashtag queerplatonic in my heart

[clumsy-mudpuppy]

they dont talk about the nightmares

[majachee]

HIIII ok so I have a question about the power ranger TD au!!

Are there gonna be any ships? (I’m mostly interested in Noah ships (totally not my favorite character)) likeee is there gonna be Noco? Nowen? Is duncey gonna be canon?

(Also is Gwen gonna show up? IF SOO will there be gwourtney or gwent instead? Is the Duncan, Courtney and Gwen triangle gonna come?)

ALSO I CANT WAIT UNTIL THE DRAMA BROTHERS SHOW UP GANSNKSBAKAKAAH

ok that was all thank you very much good person 🫡

CRAWFISH SPOTTED YEAHEAHHHHHHHH

As for relationships... 😈

Since this is a self-indulgent AU made primarily for enjoyment, I'm pretty lenient when it comes to romantic pairings! If someone suggests a ship and I feel fine towards it, I'll give them some crumbs to work with lmao

Focusing on the pairings you brought up, though...

Noah - I headcanon Noah as being on the aroace spectrum, meaning he rarely feels attraction towards others. This identity is brought up several times in the AU, though not exactly by name (I don't think Noah would use specific labels, tbh)...

HOWEVER, he is not immune to the ship-bait crumbs! Noah and Owen are close in this AU, and can be read as romantic or queerplatonic. Nowen is explicitly canon in this AU, and most TD related things I'll write or draw! But, whether they're romantic or queerplatonic is up to the readers, I've decided. I love both interpretations equally, and I love Nowen because of how both interpretations work almost perfectly!

As for NoCo... I have mixed feelings towards this ship, but that's usually because nobody ever interprets it the way I interpret it: and that's Cody fucking sucks /aff /derogatory.

He had a weird one-sided situationship with Noah for 3 days in October of freshman year, said something FOUL and KINDA CRINGE about rizz and women, and Noah just got up and left. No hesitation.

Let Cody be a loser... genuinely. He gets mauled by a bear at least once. Other than that, no hints of NoCo in the main plot. Cody's out there freakin it loser style, and Noah is gay married to Owen in every universe.

Now for the questions about Gwen and Courtney - No for the love triangle, I felt that entire thing ruined all three characters. Like, Duncanis suppose to be a "punk with a heart of gold" and yet he's down to cheat??? Gwen, the anxious yet very progressive goth who's like... genuinely nice??? And bro what'd Courtney do to deserve that??? ... She did help carry WT tho

As for Duncey and Gwent? I'm on the fence. I don't think Duncan and Courtney are good for eachother. And Gwent was really cute in season 1, but the way they handled Trent's breakdown in Action just felt... off. I think I prefer both of them being single, unfortunately. Might have Trent and Gwen be exes on really good terms though? For world building and lore? Because both characters are revelant to the plot due to their connections with Courtney, Duncan, and Harold (primarily Trent for that last one but yk)

Qwourtney is a maybe, I did promise some Heather/Courtney crumbs for an anon so I'm down for that lmao

Honestly, if you wanna write or draw ship art for this AU, even if ifs not explicitly "canon" then go for it. I'd love to see it! This is a self-indulgent AU, and I'm chill w/ letting you guys get self-indulgent with my self-indulgent AU lmaoooooo

And to finish this off...

I'M GONNA USE THE DRAMA BROTHERS AS AN EXCUSE TO REFERENCE BUFFY, LET ME TELL YOU... DUDE. THE SCENES AT THE BRONZE AND THE COLLEGE HOUSE PARTIES WHERE INDIE/ROCK BANDS ARE PLAYING LIVE AND SMTH INSANE HAPPENS... CHANGED ME FUNDAMENTALLY. Omg i love buffy the vampire slayer hashtag feminism

[sunlitmcgee]

in my heart I know it's inevitable that people may find elnos and fondue and see them as a hashtag tragic doomed romantic /r allo historical gay couple but I wanna believe for a minute people will take time to humor their queerplatonic vague swag

[ringsofpowervalentinesweek]

Hello everyone! If you’re reading this, welcome to Rings of Power Valentines Week 2023! Thank you so much for your interest. Events like this help keep the fandom alive and thriving while we wait for season two to drop.

This is an event meant to celebrate the various relationships presented in The Rings of Power, whether romantic, platonic, or somewhere in between.

Below are some basic rules of the event and a quick FAQ. Please read it through thoroughly.

Love you all and I look forward to seeing what you guys make!

Event Rules

The event will start on Valentines Day (2/14/23) at 6AM PST and run until 2/21/23, closing at 12:00AM PST.

I will be tracking the tag #tropvalentinesweek2023 and do my best to reblog everything, but I’m just one person! To help me out you can also @ this blog, and if I haven’t reblogged your post then also feel free to message this blog with a link to remind me!

Here is the list of prompts - you can post as much for one prompt as you want! And you can skip prompts if you’re not a fan of one, or disregard prompts entirely and do whatever your heart desires. They’re just a guide. :) 

This is a LGBTQIA+ friendly space. Terfs absolutely are not welcome in any form. And I want to make it especially clear that people and content on the aroace spectrum are welcome!

All kinds of content are welcome, whether that be fics, headcannons, art, edits, fanvids, reader-inserts, cosplay, poetry, music, podfics, calligraphy, tiktoks, or handcrafts — if you make it, I’ll reblog it!

Absolutely no ship-shaming. If you don’t like a ship, then don’t consume the content. Ships will be tagged character x character (romantic) and character + character (platonic). If you don’t like a ship or it squicks you, please feel free to blacklist the tag. Harassment and negative comments about ships may bar you from participating in the event in the future

If you are posting to AO3 - you can add your work to the event collection! Optional, but highly recommended :) 

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

FAQ:

Do I Have to Sign Up?

Nope! All you have to do to participate and have your work shared is add it to the hashtag and preferably @ the blog

Do I Have to Follow the Prompts?

Nope! The prompts are there to jog creative juices, but you don’t have to follow them if you don’t want to.

Can I Post Late Or Skip a Day?

Yep! You don’t have to do every single day, and if you post a couple days late on a prompt that’s totally fine. Posting after the event closes is also fine, but sharing won’t happen nearly as fast or as reliably because I will no longer be actively tracking the tag.

Is NSFW Content Okay?

Yep! But please tag it as such and stick any explicit content under a read more.

Are Platonic and Queerplatonic Relationships Okay?

Absolutely!!! This is an event for all kinds of relationships and there will be days specifically devoted to those kinds of relationships as well, but you can post that kind of content all throughout the event.

Are OT3s/Polyamory Welcome?

Yes!

Am I Limited ONLY to Characters and Places in the Show? 

Preferably, your work should include characters from the show, but you are absolutely not limited to what they have covered. Anything from Tolkien’s legendarium that tickles your brain is welcome, whether that’s kidnap fam, Celebrimbor and Narvi, Elwing and Eärendil, Celeborn, Celebrían, etc. etc.
