#i hc them as being queerplatonic personally lol

[rip-headphones-users]

You could just leave this here, happy and satisfied as is…

…But thats not how things get to end, right?

Maybe one day they can be happy together. But not like this. Not when Infected can barely remember who he’s with, and not when Lampert is so scared of contracting the parasite himself.

One of these days I’ll do a full summary of how I interpret their dynamic. Both as friends and as a ship. I see them as having a queer-platonic relationship for the most part though.

2 and 6 for the durgetash creator asks? :)

(was waiting for you to rb this one djgkdh)

(I was three hours late, im sorry! T-T)

2. Romance, queerplatonic, eldritch horror? How would you describe the relationship these two have? This time without limitation.

Romance, eldrich horror, queer and ready to tear (up the world), partners in crime, equals, ect ect They've been engaged for a few years before the bg3 events even though Gortash wasn't aware of it, Durge proposed by asking him if Gort can be the last person he kills, and Gort agreed without knowing what a Bhaalist wedding is.

6. What's the most wholesome hc you have for them? Something they did, a particular approach at bonding, just them being disgustingly soft once? Some good old hand in hand vivisection?

I write surprisingly a lot of wholesome stuff for them! Like this, or this, or this entire longfic! They essentially are very cute, as long as you look through red colored glasses and see the mauling and gore and manipulation for affection which it is lol. Durge is especially very affectionate, but his Urges do make him maul Gortash far too often; Gort meanwhile needs a few years before it hits him that Durge genuinely likes him for all of his quirks and that's when he commits to the 'equals' thing, before that he was just trying to get himself a Bhaalspawn attack dog.

But if you want actual wholesome stuff, here; Gortash keeps making new fancy weapons for Durge and also likes to force him to get some sleep, meanwhile Durge cares a lot about Gort's physical health (he got him wrist braces for his carpal tunnel and forces him to wear it) and even while he doesn't understand technology not even close to as well as Gort does, he could listen to him rambling about it for hours

tell me about your hylics guy, wayne

First Impression: Already loved his design, but I remember being a bit unsettled by him at first, largely due to Hylics 1's pretty gruesome death animation

Impression Now: Freakin' goofball anarchist who steals dynamite and riches from the elite and loves his friends as much as he loves prog/noise rock. Love this moon man! 🌙 🎸🌯

Favorite Moment: The progression of the "You accidentally crushed it..." joke in the first game. Don't wanna spoil it for you, but someone on this site once compared it to the "Despite everything, it's still you" moment in Undertale and I really can't help but agree XD

Idea for a story: I've still got several ideas for stories about Wayne, mostly regarding his relationships with the other characters in the game. I've started to draft a fic rn that I want to keep a surprise, but another story I would like to tell is how he met up with Old Wayne (as I personally see them as two separate characters instead of H1 Wayne's evolution) and his relationship with his clone siblings from H2

Unpopular opinion: Good question. There's so little characterization for everyone in Hylics that the fandom rarely ever gets mad at headcanons for these characters

I will say that a few hc's I have for him that I don't think many others agree w/ me on is that Wayne doesn't share a hivemind with his siblings & Old Wayne (and actually has trouble relating to them) and that he doesn't smoke tobacco. The latter I see a lot in artwork of him despite cigarettes never showing up in the game, which is cool and all but I just don't see him as a smoker personally. I think Dedusmuln should be the one smoking heavily while having to record all of their archeological exploits lol

Favorite relationship: Wayne is 100% in a queerplatonic polycule with Somsnosa, Dedusmuln, and Pongorma! I hc them all as aspec, with Wayne in particular being aroace, and honestly after everything they've been through they deserve each other 💛❤️💙💚

On a darker side of the moon man, I also do enjoy the hints we get to his past relationship with Gibby. Obviously it must have been terrible for Wayne to want to kill him so badly, but it's the fact that Gibby himself doesn't seem to want to give up on Wayne that fascinates me. I could go further into this, but that would be giving away too many spoilers for both games' endings

Favorite headcanon: Probably that Moonage Lobotomy was originally formed by him and Somsnosa not long after he first "fell" to Earth. I like to imagine he found his first guitar in a garbage can and the pair started out making the shittiest self-produced rock music you could ever imagine. It helped them form such a tight bond with one another, and served as a decent distraction from the lunacy the world was trapped under...

[mikaharuka]

Edelgard for the character ask game please!

Heyo Iris! Thanks for the ask~

1: sexuality headcanon: Interestingly enough, my headcanons for JP and EN Edelgard differ.

For EN Edelgard, bisexual with a strong preference for women.

For JP Edelgard, however, pansexual. Did you know that JP Edelgard is the only major character in JP FE3H whose lines are exactly the same, no matter if you play as Bereto (m!Byleth) or Beresu (f!Byleth)? That's pretty much proof that her feelings are based on Byleth as a person and are independent of gender. Hence the pan headcanon.

2: otp: Oooh, Edelthea is my favorite! Though I also enjoy Edeleth as well~

3: brotp: Hubert, hands down. I mean... it's pretty blatantly clear how much they mean to each other. And in fact, their JP supports together with their paired ending seriously gives me strong queerplatonic vibes.

4: notp: Hubert - I mentioned it elsewhere, but my strongest brotps also tend to be my strongest notps. True, Ferdibert is my one FE3H monoship, making conflicting ships 'technically notp by default', but this specific pair draws a very strong reaction from me precisely *because* I see them as queerplatonic or an extremely close platonic pair.

I should note that this is all with JP conversations in mind. The JP supports mention 'strong feelings', but the charge and target of said feelings were left open ended. So while you could read the charge as romantic and the target as Edelgard, it is far from explicit or definitive. Meanwhile the EN localization took away all the nuance and ambiguity and explicitly declared a charge and target. I could go on forever about localization issues, but I'd be here all day >.>

5: first headcanon that pops into my head She's such a strong romantic, even if she hides it. Well... that part is canon, but small things like loving romance-driven media is my HC!

6: favorite line from this character Oh, I adore JP Edelgard - her softer personality (relative to EN Edelgard, at least) just shines in these subtle ways. A personal favorite is from the JP Edelthea A support. Here is the EN line, the JP line, the transliteration, and my translation of the JP line in italics:

Don’t you see? No story about me would be complete without the character of Dorothea. わからない？私の物語には、貴方ガ必要だもの。 [Wakaranai? Watashi no monogatari ni wa, anata ga hitsuyo da mono.] You don’t understand? In my story, you are irreplaceable.

Indirect, non-explicit confessions of love are extremely popular in Japanese. "The moon is beautiful, isn't it?" (tsuki ga kirei desu ne) is the most famous example of this. With the surrounding context and unspoken subtext, this is pretty much a confession of love.

There are a few details that help - 'hitsuyo' translates as 'essential', 'necessary', 'vital', or 'indispensable'. Also, while 'monogatari' means 'story', JP Edelgard is also talking about her life in this context - I settled on 'irreplaceable' because it fits 'hitsuyo' and the tone.

7: one way in which I relate to this character Being a secret romantic? Pfft totally me. Though my 'secret' nature is only the case IRL. To those who know me online? Super obvious lol

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character Tbh... I'm having a little difficulty thinking of an obvious answer here.

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? As much as I love Edelgard, I do have to say 'both' - I can't quite discount her actions, after all. But on her personality alone, she's absolutely a cinnamon roll - both versions of her, too~

[check out my other answers for this ask in this post]

[kiisaes]

Hey kisa! I hope you have a wonderful day and I looove your arts and sketches!

I read your post about queerness in Asia and of the bkdk dynamic, it settled at the back of my head and really just starting to marinate itself into something. Sometimes I wake up and couldn't feel anything about bkdk being real or canon at all even though facts are just right there in my face. I really do love bkdk, but I felt so true of your words on queer Asians that I couldn't see all those fan contents of bkdk someday being canon. Like, most of them didn't sit right with me and it's so hard to find one that represents queerness in Asia correctly (because bakugou and Deku are indeed Japanese=Asians).

I don't know why I reach out to you but I just wanna say, your post resonated with me a lot. I'm Asian and I found out I'm queer in my 16s. Here, being queer isn't like a world-breaking news or people will hate on you cuz you're different, but it's the community sense that makes queer people stay quiet and humble. Idk how to explain myself but it's true that even when we found out our gender/sexuality, most of us tend to prefer blending in with society rather than standing out and be proud of our identity (it's for various reasons like you mentioned, for family's namesake, for friends', even for strangers).

About bkdk, in my honest opinion, standing on Horikoshi's viewpoint and trying to understand his creating ideas with the consideration of a whole Asian community behind him, I cannot see bkdk kissing if they were to end up being endgame. They might chose to be a pair of queer platonic best buddies who are the most intimate and closest person to each other and no one else can take that place in each other's heart. Their dynamics might stay the same but they'll always have each other's backs. They might hold hands occasionally or be more touchy with each other than with others 'cuz that's ultimately where their dynamics and relationship lead up to in the whole story. They don't have to declare that they love each other or establish a new form of relationship and that's okay. Because for me, that's how being queer and being quiet and being Asian is. You get to be yourself proudly, but you don't have to yell it to the world to be recognized and feel validated. It's ok to be humble and still be proud.

Thanks kisa for wording out my feelings and thoughts in a much coherent way. I do think some Asians(not queer people) have a strange way at viewing lgbt+ because it's the western stereotypical concepts of the community that is more drilled into their minds. Even my parents sometimes forgot that I'm queer and thought that was a phase lol.

(sorry for ranting so much, that last part might be me dumping my whole hc at you I'm sorry!!! I feel really touched by your words and it has been sitting on my chest for a while and seeing bkdk still ten million miles away from being canonically endgame is so frustrating hsgdjaksh

WOW HI !!! i hope u're having a good day/night too anon and thank u !!! :D

i'm really honored my words reached you! as a queer asian, i completely agree with everything you said here. i'm also in the boat where i don't think bkdk will be officially canon, despite how many bkdks think they will. i think it's a very inherently naive thought that a japanese shounen series of mha's size and caliber will confine to western lgbt standards. it's just not that easy! and i've ranted in length about my pessimism ... and i will continue to stay that way until i'm definitively proven wrong LOL (i hope i am btw!!!)

there's definitely something inherently queer asian about bkdk's relationship, if they were to hypothetically be canon. i completely agree that, imo, they'll only be considerably queerplatonic if they're any type of queer at all. hoping for a more "proudly gay" bkdk is nice, but pretty unlikely all things considered. being "proudly gay", like completely coming out of the closet and disregarding what society/family has to say about you, isn't as simple in asian communities. being quietly and humbly queer is something i, and many queer asians, resonate with a lot! that's just as valid as being loudly and unabashedly queer!

if bkdk becomes officially, loudly, and excessively canon then that'd be incredible!!! i won't push it away in the slightest!!! it'd be a great push for shounen jump and a sign that more lgbt stories can exist, even if they're at mha's size!!! more acceptance of marginalized communities is always good!!!

but i also think that bkdks who refuse to accept bkdk not being canon because not being openly official = not good/queer enough, should perhaps open their minds more to what society mha is written in. smaller showcases of closeness, comfort and camaraderie can be just as queer as shouting it from the rooftops. that's good enough! and if that's what bkdk gets in the end, then i'll be satisfied, even if horikoshi doesn't confirm their relationship :>

(and AAAA no worries!!! hey i love talking about bkdk in relation to asian queerness, so u're good!)

[morsobaby]

Ship opinion for megasound?

I love that you suggested this one specifically now that we're doing this again

Megasound 10/10 baby I actually already mentioned why in the first round of this ask game some while ago but basically yes it's the oh so classic Main Villain plus Most loyal Henchman. It's the gayest thing in media. I adore when shows make it all meaningful and interesting and juicy. I honestly think this one would work in any continuity but my opinion bases mostly on Prime/aligned since it's what I have most experience with. These two are so devoted to each other they're best friends they're right hand men and they just get each other. Soundwave is such a fun contrast to Starscream w being the dead most loyal decepticon of all time while this one bitch doesn't breathe without thinking of Meggies downfall. It's so good. I can also imagine them as extremely queerplatonic bc they do really just, work so well together I just love seeing them as a pair in any capacity it just. Works. I know this isn't very intelligent commentary lol sorry. But I hc Soundwave as recipromantic/greyromantic or other similar and I feel like for him if there was anyone, it would be Megatron for him. It's like that thing of, being some orientation but meeting a person who just happens to be an exception to it, I find that a very interesting relationship style to explore and I'm feeling it w these two. Only topically related Megop is also 10/10, for different reasons but neither ship detracts rating points for the other imo. I like to think of them as coexisting either by way of Megs being poly attracted to both but only Soundie reciprocates, or that Megop was in the past and Megs is all angsty and torn up about it but is now also loving Soundie so he sits there like "ugh,,, my ex,,, is my nemesis,,, so tragic,,, what happened between us" and Soundie gives him hug and kith and goes "So true babe" and neither of them doubt that they truly care for each other deeply and just accept that Megs still had a thing with op before but it's over now and he's sad but it's gonna be okay. Good stuff

[transrevolutions]

Out of curiosity, do you have any other characters that you personally headcannon as asexual?

Quite a few, actually!

(I uh. discuss sex in this ask. Obviously. Nothing graphic though.)

~Enjolras (Les Miserables)- asexuality basically canon, shown in text to have no interest in sexual relationships, I see him as aroace. Grantaire is bi and definitely romantically into him, but their relationship is queerplatonic in my modern AU.

~Annabeth Chase (PJO)- aroace as well, Percy's dynamic with Rachel works better romantically and the scene with Luke in TLO has massive "I'm just figuring out I don't feel romantic attraction" vibes. Contradicted in canon but who cares.

~Katniss Everdeen (THG)- demisexual, has some textual support. She's really not into Peeta at all until they are already very close and have been through a lot, and it's implied she wasn't interested in anyone up until that point.

~Tris Prior (Divergent)- implied greysexual in canon, sometimes sex repulsed. It definitely fluctuates, and there is a point in canon where they have sex and enjoy it. I think it comes and goes for them. (I also hc them as non-binary! This isn't canon though lol)

~Four (Divergent)- demisexual. In the same boat as Tris here, though not canon. Sex is weird for Abnegation kids, I think. (Someday I'll make a separate post for my feelings about Abnegation.) He'd probably try to push through it to be Dauntless Enough™ but wouldn't really get anything out of it until he's in a steady relationship.

~Newt (TMR) is asexual, and this one is just because I said so. He simply has the vibes. He's gay in canon, but you can be gay and asexual so it all works out.

~Obi Wan Kenobi (Star Wars). Massive aroace. No canonical love interest (we don't count the thing in TCW) and little patience for romance-based bullshit. Amazingly oblivious to Anakin's growingly obvious romantic involvement with Padme (who he also works closely with). This is relevant because I, an aroace, am often completely unaware of my friends' love lives until they tell me very specifically. Multiple times, sometimes.

~Sejanus Plinth (THG/TBOSAS) is a bit complicated. I see him as asexual but demiromantic, and in an AU where he survives, I don't think he'd be into romance. From TBOSAS I feel like there's subtext that he has romantic-ish feelings for Snow, but uh. Obviously those do Not go anywhere because Snow betrays him and joins the fascist government he hates and he dies in canon anyways. I think if he lived, though, he wouldn't want to deal with being fucked over like that again. A trauma thing, probably.

~Bean (Ender's Game) in a world where he wasn't shat on from birth would be here as an asexual, possibly aromantic. Canonically, as a youngish teen, he has extreme asychronicity (headcanon but pretty canon-supported) and he's got a tendency to latch onto older/authority figures. As a kid, he latches onto Ender, not necessarily in a romantic way (and certainly not a sexual one, he's like. nine years old.) but in a weird parasocial way nonetheless. Later, when he's older, he latches onto Petra, almost obsessively. This might just be weird writing on the author's part because the author of the books has weird views about women, but I choose to interpret it not as Bean being a creep but as Bean coping with trauma in the only way he knows how. In canon, Bean and Petra have kids. In an AU where a) Bean wasn't traumatized his entire childhood and b) Bean didn't have a terminal disease, I don't think he'd be into Petra either way. Maybe he'd get together romantically or queerplatonically with Suriyawong, maybe not.

This got very long. Hope this was what you were looking for!

[westwiiind]

I made a post about how I headcanon the httyd characters’ sexualities a while back on my main blog, but I’ve changed my mind about a lot of them so I’m gonna make another!!

Hiccup: honestly racked my brain for this one but I feel like hiccup is.....the token straight lmao. He has very strong bi wife energy though. Like VERY strong.

Astrid: why shes the bi wife of course. I think astrid is bi simply because she gives off that vibe, and I also think she’s demi and arospec. I feel like her being demi is pretty self explanatory, but her being arospec is something that may seem odd at first but makes a LOT of sense the more you think about her relationship with hiccup, especially in race to the edge. (Yes I could make an entire post about arospec astrid)

Fishlegs: poly bi/pan/etc methinks. Mayyybe cupioromantic aro? Maybe even cupioromantic aroace??

Snotlout: poly bi as well!!! Thor bonecrusher was definitely snotlout’s bi awakening I think we can all agree lmao

Ruffnut: aro pan poly. (Why yes, I do headcanon that she, snotlout, and fishlegs are in a relationship. Yes I do.) i headcanon that ruffnut’s attraction is queerplatonic rather than romantic.

Tuffnut: definitely aroace. This seems pretty self explanatory lol

Gobber: I don’t need a headcanon for him because it’s already canon that he’s gay!!

Stoick: honestly we don’t really get to see a whole lot of stoick in terms of his interpersonal relationships, so I don’t really have a headcanon for him. He loves valka, so I don’t think he’s gay or aro/ace, but anything more specific than that I just don’t know.

Valka: aspec. Definitely aspec, but not aro/ace. I think she’s demi or gray or even aroflux/aceflux.

Eret: gayyyy this man is gay. Maybe demi/gray though too.

Heather: demiro lesbian. I headcanon that the reason things didn’t pan out with fishlegs was because her attraction to him was a combination of very strong platonic/quasiplatonic attraction and comphet. She just gives off very lesbian energy you know?? And I love her relationship with fishlegs as platonic/qp but not romantic. Romantic heathlegs just never seemed to have chemistry to me, and it felt awkward and forced lol. Sweet, but not romantic.

Atali: gaaaay. Maybe ace lesbian? Honestly we didn’t get to see a whole lot of her so I’m not really sure but she definitely gave off gay vibes to me. Idk maybe being the leader of a mystical tribe of all-female warriors has something to do with it lol.

Dagur: bi/pan/etc, but generally with a preference for men. I would hc him as gay but I honestly really liked his and Mala’s relationship and it seemed pretty authentic and believable to me. I mean what more could you want in a relationship than a girlboss x malewife dynamic????

Mala: not a clue. Not a clue in the world. She kept her personality VERY close to the vest. I guess I kind of think of her as either demi/gray or cupioromantic aroace, i don’t really know. Probably aspec in some way.

[wishing-well-writing]

hi!! can i get red velvet x parfait cookie pls!!

!RED VELVET/PARFAIT HCs!

Written by: 🦷, 🍡

Fandom: Cookie Run Series

Character(s): Red Velvet Cookie, Parfait Cookie, others mentioned

Warnings: N/A

A/N: sorry this took a while to get to, mods are busy with exams and generally mentally ill <3

parfait (she/her, maybe experiments with neopronouns...) with them prep/bad boy ships, good for her

peak “he asked for NO pickles” dynamic

the way they met is pretty classic

darkness gang doing evil little crimes, and chiffon (spoiled brat) wanders off

parfait is then dubbed as temporary dogsitter because “???? Lost???? Dog???”

and yeah she isn’t scared of them, she thinks cakehounds are cute

ofc ref velvet (he/they) realizes pretty quickly that chiffon is GONE

he’s going to go on a rampage to find his dog, mission be damned <3

meanwhile parfait is just trying to figure out what she can feed this cakehound, considering this is the first time one came up to her in person and is now under her care

she didn’t have to think for long when red velvet came around, demanding their dog back lmao

the following conversation:

“Give me my dog back.”

“Oh, this is your dog?”

“Yes, now give him back.”

“Only if you say please :)!”

he did after 5 minutes of going back and forth with bargaining

after that it was a bit o a blur, mostly chiffon wandering the fuck off and finding his way to parfait because “hehehehe :3″

the meetings became a regular occurrence, and red velvet eventually stayed for more than 2 minutes lol

Generally slow burn and getting to know each other until “oh no feelings-“

Parfait made the first move since I’m pretty sure Red Velvet would Die

They have a bunch of cute lil cafe dates and such :)

Red Velvet finds out that Parfait is an idol after being curious one day about why she sometimes disappears for “work”

Suffice to say she has a new fan and supporter now <3

Parfait still gets flustered sometimes (re: a lot of times) whenever she spots Red Velvet in the crowd in full merch

She appreciates it tho <3

suffice to say, red velvet was unaware someone else in the darkness gang was also a fan of parfait (spoiler: it’s licorice) (re:spoiler: parfait knows)

this also leads to red velvet eventually revealing that “alas, i am part of evil gang” and parfait going “lol i know, licorice buys my cds sometimes”

everyone turns to look at licorice (he/they/xey)

xey’re decked out in merch

they do not regret blowing their cover, it’s good ass merch

also licorice thinks parfait’s voice is Very Nice /p

two goth bfs but separately /hj /hj

licorice and parfait are in a queerplatonic relationship /hj

also red velvet sometimes wants to act as bodyguard because hrnghrg protective

but you see here, parfait can FOLD a man

red velvet falls further in love because of this

also speaking of love all the cakehounds love her (this includes cakeberus) and they ALL get merch (cakeberus needed it custom made but it was custom made with LOVE)

on the more domestic side of things, red velvet (this goes out for all red velvet ships) they like to gently hold and cradle with his big ol cake hand....

very gentle holding

he likes hand holding a lot

also also 

malewife red velvet, parfait can’t cook for shit it’s all instant food

they only learned how to cook because all the cakehounds have VERY specific tastes

something something it all depends on the cakehounds flavour

speaking of flavour

red velvet one day getting a cakehound with similar ingredients to parfait and giving said cakehound to her

gift of “i love you so much” and a double roundabout of protection because hehehe

[lizziedaring]

Kitty and Lizzie are dating,,, Cerise is a big lesbian who dated Darling and Kitty,,, and,,, Raven. Darling and Cerise had feelings for each other, and they are in a polyamorous relationship whilst Darling is with Apple. Apple has two hands,,, she holds Raven's hand and Darling's. Raven likes Cupid, Apple, and Dexter and is dating all of them. Alistair and Chase are dating, whilst Bunny's in a queerplatonic relationship with Alistair. Briar was gay for Apple and Ashlynn, and ended up dating Apple. Duchess was just a sad bisexual who wanted love. And these are my personal headcanons. Holy fuck, that's a lot of LGBTQ+ hcs. Lol.

HELLO IM SO SORRY I DID NOT SEE THIS SOONER?

kitty and lizzie ARE dating but they always confuse everyone w their dynamic bc nothing changes. its always like

alistair: wheres kitty?

lizzie: who?

only maddie knows bc of the narrators ahdjsd

and YES i dont think we acknowledge how funny it would be if some of them were exes. lizzie wouldnt be jealous about cerise being kitty’s ex gf but she IS very petty about it.

lizzie: sorry im not a jock 😔

kitty: can u Stop.

cerise dates darling afterwards and lizzie goes a little insane.

and apple rlly HAS two hands... rapple dappling rights U-U

and duchess IS bi and had a crush on lizzie at one point :D

thanks for sending these headcanons :D !! they were so much fun to read !!

[arofili]

🏳️‍🌈 Finarfin, Thorin, Fingolfin, Arwen

(so disclaimer for all of these, i’m pretty flexible with my queer headcanons especially wrt shipping!)

Finarfin: Mostly straight, very faithful to Earwen. Had a hard time adjusting to Earwen and Anaire’s relationship after the Flight of the Noldor, but he loves his wife so much that in the end he can’t really be anything other than supportive. Especially since he hurt Earwen by leaving, even if he did end up coming back.

So yeah, he’s mostly just really in love with his wife, but. BUT. i am also fond of Finarfin/Eonwe, so- I think he and Eonwe became very close during the War of Wrath, and Ara kind of started crushing on him, except like, is it really a crush? this is just bros being bros right? and he’s not gay, nah, so like...but what if it is tho?? and Eonwe is completely oblivious, not just to Ara’s feelings but to his own too, until like. after things settle down and Ara confesses to Earwen and she’s like “oooh, exciting” and romcom hijinks ensue, except things are awkward because Eonwe is the herald of Manwe (I have some particular hcs about Valarin sexuality, esp Manwe) and in the end Ara and Eonwe are like, not really sure what’s up between them and are mostly just bros...but also a little bit not. that’s a long and complicated way of me saying that they’re queerplatonic, lmao

Thorin: ooohhh boy. I was put off bagginshield for a long time because of the intensity of the fandom around them, and now I’m kind of on board, but like, Only Aspec Bagginshield Please. so i think Thorin is demi, attraction is like, literally the last thing on his mind; I have a soft spot for Dworin so in some verses I think they’ve got a thing going on? They’re definitely extremely close. But what I’m trying to get at, I guess, is that Bilbo is the first/only person Thorin’s like, actually confused and worried about possibly being in love with?? And my brain hurts if I try to think about Bilbo not being in the Shire to raise Frodo, even in the sappiest Bagginshield Everyone Lives AUs, so I think that Bagginshield is more of a ship doomed to pine than anything else, and them both being aspec makes that...easier, I guess? Like Thorin has feelings for Bilbo, but never planned his life around including someone like that, his devotion to Erebor and his people is much more important- if he and Bilbo do get their shit together it would have to be long-distance, because Bilbo loves the Shire and especially loves Frodo after he adopts him, and LOTR is practically impossible if Bilbo remained in Erebor. So yeah. Also, Thorin is trans, I don’t make the rules

Fingolfin: Lol, both Ara and Nolo are characters I’ve had some Thoughts about this ever since writing ATATYA, but since that fic is about the Feanorians I didn’t really get to explore his side of things. Anyway: Nolo is bisexual, but he kind of repressed himself until arriving in Middle-earth. He and Anaire had a good relationship for the most part, but when he started going overboard (in her eyes) with his attempts to make things right with Feanaro, they started to fight. Anaire and Earwen kind of always had mutual feelings for each other that they never acted on because they both loved their respective husbands, but when both the bros left during the Flight of the Noldor they went “fuck it” and got together. (As I mentioned above, Ara coming back complicated things, but after that it was very much “it’s us against the world”)

But back to Nolo: he and Anaire had a pretty terrible breakup right before he left, and when he didn’t come back but Ara did, he kind of assumed that Anaire would never want anything to do with him again, their marriage bond was pretty fucked up and while he was definitely still in love with her he kind of considered their relationship over. So he was basically single in Beleriand, and in a place like that, without the kind of rules he was used to in Valinor, he was freer to experiment, and that’s when he figured out he liked dudes too. I think he was with a couple mortal men (like Hador!) and while that was mostly good for him, he still was in love with Anaire and never settled down with anyone else (like another elf) because of that. He spent a lot of his time in Mandos being melodramatic about his marriage (and I’m teasing, but like, shit does suck, rip Nolo)- but by the time he was released, Anaire had had a long time to mull over what he’d done, and she decided she’d give him another chance. So I think they’re back together, but with a similar sort of thing Ara and Earwen have going on, because Earwen and Anaire are not letting each other go, and Nolo kind of has to prove himself to his wife. Which he is absolutely willing to do.

Also, mostly unrelated headcanon: post-reembodiment Nolofinwe is a funky grandpa who just loves spending time with his kids and takes them camping all the time. Arakano and Irisse love this; Findekano is just happy his family’s back together; Turukano is not a fan but goes along because he knows he should, and it’s a good excuse to try and reconnect with Maeglin who also hates the camping trips (but loves being included)

Arwen: i don’t have any set headcanons for her, I do like Aragorn/Arwen, I also enjoy Arwen/Tauriel, I’m down for whatever wrt to her. she’s probably bi? and I think she’s demiromantic, because she was by herself for a very long time before Aragorn came along, so it was probably a surprise to her that she had feelings for anyone at all, and she went 100% in on that relationship. until death do ye part, and all that...

heyy xy its been a while again idk how long i wanted to send smth earlier but my brain wouldnt let me so:// im kinda Going Through It rn tho& surprise its abt my romanticality again but this time it has nothing to do w a crush. its ,, i was wondering how romantic attraction felt so i did a question thread on twitter but the answers ,, were all stuff ive felt ?? &i think maybe ive been thinking of romantic attraction wrong this whole time but ?? how do i know ?? -H (it is. frustrating)

its like ,, i love the idea of cuddling& holding hands& hugging& yes that could be platonic but ,, ive never kissed anyone but i think it could be smth i enjoy& maybe even smth i want but it wasnt ever anything i thought abt until now ,, recently ive kinda been wanting to date someone nonromantically ?? but how do i tell if the way i want it is romantically or not ?? romantic attraction is just a thing u feel right u dont get to decide whether or not its romantic attraction it just is right?? -H

&i have gotten my own version of crushes but its always ,, i just rly want to be their friend or in extreme cases just ,, like me the way i like them, like liking me best ig ?? but maybe i have wanted to date them& just didnt realize it ?? when i get crushes i think of them a lot& want to be around them& i get butterflies& all the things ppl say they get with romantic attraction. but then ill ask myself if its romantic& i just feel like No. It's not ??? -H

romantic attraction always just felt so ,, other ?? so even now that i realize what i want is what ppl who feel romantic attraction want it just doesnt feel right ?? ive never kissed anyone& ive never dated& maybe if i did those things id know ?? &sometimes ill wish i had a partner but like in a queerplatonic way i think ?? i just want to do traditionally romantic stuff but ,, without it being romantic ?? but thats not how it works is it ?? -H

like if u feel& want all the things that comes with romantic attraction then that means u experience them romantically ?? maybe ?? i cant wrap my head around wanting all those things but not romantically ?? bc romantic attraction is defined as wanting things like dating& kissing& cuddling - not some other alien feeling i thought so ?? maybe im greyromantic or lithromatic or bellusromantic but ?? how do i know ?? -H

maybe im just too young to completely know how i feel ?? maybe if i dated someone or kissed them id know ?? &i kinda rly want to do those things just to know how id feel bc im tired of not knowing im already confused abt my gender identity if i dont know my romanticality what do i know ?? -H

lmao so im over my crisis nvm -H

i dont remember exactly what i was saying but theres a difference between wanting those things& like ,, wanting them from a person yknow maybe i want to be kissed but only theoretically bc who do i want to kiss me then ?? any strong feelings usually fade when i get to know the person so. also apparently romantic attraction is Not just wanting those things apparently theres supposed to be a feeling that comes with it idk -H

help i found u on tiktok while looking through aroace tiktoks skjdjk i saw u& i was like xy ?!?!! u exist in places outside of tumblr ?!?!??! unbelievable -H

i saw ur undertale hcs tiktok& i highkey panicked bc ive been hyperfixating on undertale for like ,, a month now, so it was my 2 favorite things : aspec hcs& undertale. personally i see papyrus as aroace bc of his whole speech after ur date with him& its like ,, a v v important hc to me bc hes the only character ive ever felt i had representation in sjdhfks idk hes like my comfort character now -H 

aahhh but yea ive been hyperfixating on undertale so badly but :/ we lost our switch :/ so i couldnt play :/// i had to resort to watching playthroughs on yt. i have watched dan& phils playthrough 3 times& i am going on a 4th. luckily we did find our switch !! &i cant wait until i get papyrus' phone number so i can go through every room& call him& then befriend undyne& go through all the rooms& call him again to see if the responses have changed -H

I’m So Sorry it took me literally like 2 months to answer these, I promise i wasn’t ignoring you, I just have Stupid Brain!!

Imma be honest with you, romantic attraction is so confusing, and I can’t say I understand it myself. Also, that’s totally how it works. You can do romantically-coded actions with a queerplatonic partner and not have it be romantic at all. Sure, kissing and dating and cuddling are romantically-coded, but that doesn’t mean you have to be in a romantic relationship to do them; doing those things in a queerplatonic sense and not having any romantic emotions in it is totally valid. You can want all these things and still not have/experience romantic attraction. Take all the time you need to figure it out, though. I may tell everyone I’m grayro, but for sure that does not mean that I have it all figured out. I just say that because it’s the closest to whatever confusing feelings I’ve had lol. It takes time to work these things out, just do what feels right for you. You don’t need to force yourself into a romantic situation just to try and see if you’re aro. Honestly, to me? Nothing you’ve described seems inherently romantic. That all seems like it’s queerplatonic or just platonic.

Lol, yes I exist in places outside of tumblr on occasion. Tbh, since we all know I have no time-management skills, tiktok is a little bit why I’ve been so absent around here lately lol. I was focusing a lot on building my account and content there, but I really miss everyone over here and i miss writing my fanfics so I am Back and I’m gonna try and split my time better, now! Undertale is such a valid thing to fixate on, and Paps is such a valid comfort character. Aroace Paps is so valid, I only said grayroace Paps because 1) brain said “make him you” lol and 2) sometimes I think Papyrus/Mettaton can be cute if done right. And yeah, it’s so fun going through the rooms and just calling them lol

[jackiebrackettt]

um personally i consider it ambiguous (/a qpr but that's more hc) but that's just me. i think first and foremost they're husbands and they love each other and we don't really know much else? but also we don't really need to lol. they've mentioned it being romantic and platonic/haven't corrected ppl who've called it either, but also made fun of people who've called them friends - aka making it out like they're "just friends" instead of husbands. so, yeah i'm interpreting it as ambiguous and i think it can be interpreted as ambiguous bc "love" doesn't necessarily have to be romantic (for 1 eg that fits this situation, it can be queerplatonic)

(the reason i'm considering this not a 100% declaration of romantic love is bc the ranboo "we don't really know what it is atm we'll update you later" (not verbatim) tweet was like… right after this stream pretty much. so in my eyes/as far as i'm aware they've never clarified past that in a way that can't also be interpreted as a qpr)

and then you fell in love?

(100 days without c!beeduo how we feeling?)

how can I read what infected's saying

You could just leave this here, happy and satisfied as is…

…But thats not how things get to end, right?

Maybe one day they can be happy together. But not like this. Not when Infected can barely remember who he’s with, and not when Lampert is so scared of contracting the parasite himself.

One of these days I’ll do a full summary of how I interpret their dynamic. Both as friends and as a ship. I see them as having a queer-platonic relationship for the most part though.
