I think doing shipping through and aroace lens makes things complicated but also interesting. I think one reason I don't enjoy straight ships as much is because it's very rare for people write/talk about them with a queerplatonic dynamic. straight romance is so "normalized" in society, it's hard to get any other dynamic out of those ships from other people in conversation or writing. it's mostly always romantic. (especially when "guys and girls can't be *just* friends" is extremely common and has ruined mamy of my own friendships) but I enjoy a handful of a straight ship with that dynamic. it's just way more rare to see talked about than gay ones from my observation. anyway point is, more queerplatonic type ships and stuff please! those aren't explored enough!

#its really hard for me to describe what queer platonic means to me and how i see it and how that applies to ships i enjoy or even irl #i guess one way to explain it is being life partners without the need for romantic/sexual stuff and they dont date other people #dedicated to each other for life and act like partners but arent romantic/sexual about it.#example are cynonari. they adopter collei togther and are dedicated to each other. but theyre very fun as queer platonic relationship #and for straight version theres himeko and welt. a strong pair. work well togther. our train parents. platonic but life partners #partners in this crazy space train adventure that take care of us gremlin kids #and then theres also the queer straight platonic dynamic that's fun as well. 2 queers who form a straight platonic ship #think kafblade. how i like to imagine it is a lesbian and agender-aroace-gay-in-previous-life come together as platonic life partners #playing with this stuff and going outside the normal gender/sexuality box is fun #lee text #lee rambles #ive seen hi3 fans get very loudly upset about hsr fans shipping himeko and welt. but i never see them discussed as queerplatonic!#it could make everyone happy haha. life partners but not the romance. theyre our train parents but they arent a married couple!#disclaimer: ship your own ships. this is only about my ships and how i feel #before identifying as nonbinary i was subjected to the whole “guys and girls cant be just friends” bulshit and lost friends over it #im not even allowed to be friends with people as an aroace if im seem as a binary gender!!!!! it makes me so angry #i think straight shipping as an aroace that enjoys queerplatonic dynamics is a very weird trigger for bad feelings from those experiences😅#but its not why i prefer thos dynamic. the why is just being aroace in general and wanting that kind of relationship if i had a partner #but having a side of straight obsessed people ruining our friendships over their straight obsession feels bad #by straight obsession i mean we cant be friends anymore because they decided they saw me as a binary gender opposite theirs 🙄#and accused me of liking them and said im the one that ruined the relationship #where was i going with this i think im just rambling and info dumping about my brain stuff too much 😅
