#keeping it monogamous

[moghedien]

the dynamic of the tav I'm playing and Minthara is gonna be SO fun because like imagine the scrawniest little half-drow girl anyone's ever seen who is drow on her father's side (disgusting) and was mostly raised by her human side so she hasn't been around many drow in general and has never met a female drow. and like all she'd hear about female drow from the people around her is like, bad terrible things probably so she's just living her whole life like "ok I have to be extra good all the time forever then" and then she does the absolute worst job she can conforming to drow gender norms (possibly on purpose) and becomes a wizard of all fucking things and she's just gonna be a scrawny little good girl wizard forever so that no one thinks she's scary

and then brainworms happen and she's gotta go save all these people from the goblins like a good little girl and uh oh she finds out that there's a drow lady meeting these goblins and she's like 👀 despite it all and Minthara ends up being the first female drow she's ever met in her entire life and when she meets her, uh oh, she IS being scary and mean and threatening to mutilate and torture people uh oh every story she's ever heard is right

and the second Minthara notices her, its like

like "uh oh, the scary mean (and hot) drow lady you just met immediately notices you and grabs you by the brain and caresses it, then shows you a psychosexual interaction she had with the most deranged person in the world" all before Minthara even verbally acknowledged her and she's just like

and uh oh, now the scary drow lady she just met is immediately after that telling her they're going to slaughter the tieflings together and you know what, maybe if Karlach wasn't behind her and she wasn't at a terminal stage of "gotta be a good girl" syndrome, then she would because the thing she's been scared of her entire life is actually very hot and also instead of being scary at her, tried to take her by the hand (brain) and lead her to glory without hesitation. maybe she could have been convinced or strong armed into it

but you know, I'm not being evil yet and now Halsin is telling this very confused little half drow that she has to kill all the goblin leaders, including Minthara and you know what, maybe she did think she did it, or maybe she noticed Minthara was still breathing and just kept her mouth shut and was like "Yup, they're all definitely dead" and time passes and she continues her adventures and all and is just wondering what happened to that drow lady who she left unconscious in a pile of dead goblins after having the most confusing interaction with in her entire life.

and then she finds that scary mean (and hot) drow lady again several days or even weeks later, after having some time to process her confused feelings and probable attraction, but resigning herself to it not being something that's gonna come up again

and when she meets Minthara again, who lived up to being all the terrifying things that she was supposed to be the first time meeting, Minthara's looking like

what if helluva boss genuinely had blitzø in a non-monogamous setup with stolas and fizz and asmodeus as canon endgame haha kidding.... unless........

[charcubed]

Will do something drastic if people keep trying to turn Challengers into a traditional love triangle especially on Twitter

People are missing the point!! THEY ALLLL WANT/NEED/LOVE EACH OTHER!!! THEYRE IN A THREE PART RELATIONSHIP TOGETHER + TENNIS!! They don’t work if any piece is missing!! SHUT UPPP

Acting like any of them didn’t love/desire both of the others… acting like any one duo is better than the others or than all 3… you want to sound smart so bad it makes you look stupid and also boring. THEYRE A TRIANGLE. A THREE-WAY WITH TENNIS AS THEIR FOURTH. A POLYCULE. PLEASE.

LIKE DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THE FILM & ESPECIALLY THE ENDING?? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

It’s been a handful of days and the bad takes already make me want to lose my marbles. The only thing saving these people from being dragged by me on main in detail is my commitment to not post spoilers anywhere for at least a week because I respect my followers

[yantao-enthusiast]

think we should start shaming monogamy more. like your relationship only has two people?? isn’t that weird…. i’m sure that would get boring, i couldn’t imagine having just one partner. i’m sure you’ll find another person too, you just haven’t met the right people. when are you getting another in your relationship?? oh never?? but sweetie don’t you want to add to your relationship, everyone wants to do that….

This is a silly little fic that sparked from a conversation I had with @hanafubukki, and so I wrote it! What started as a discussion about Lilia eating teabags quickly shifted into the very sweet idea of a young Silver bringing his papa some tea leaves.

I hope you enjoy!

Lilia smiles as he hears the front door open, the sound of the creaking hinges reaching his ears. “You’re finally back, Silver,” he greets, turning from where he’s been preparing something at the kitchen counter — mixing plenty of flour and berries and a little bit of sauce together for quite the splendid treat! — to face the door.

He watches as Silver, nearly five years old and dressed in a shirt and some patchwork overalls, stumbles through, a small little pouch clutched in his hands. Tilting his head, Lilia asks, “What have you there, hm?”

Silver doesn’t speak, not until he totters over to the little kitchen area where Lilia crouches in. It’s only then that he raises the pouch, a resolute expression on his face — and how amusing it is, Lilia snickers silently to himself, to see such seriousness on that chubby-cheeked face! “This is… for Toto,” Silver insists, pushing the pouch into Lilia’s hands.

Lilia blinks. “Well now,” he says, reaching out to ruffle Silver’s hair, his other hand holding the mystery pouch. “What a kind boy you are, thinking about me while you’re out in the woods!” And this isn’t abnormal by any means, because Silver always comes home with a gift for him, be it berries — poisonous and otherwise; the poor child doesn’t know any better just yet — or a wilting bouquet of wildflowers, but Lilia relishes in it anyways. Affirmative remarks are helpful for raising a boy as young as Silver — or so he’s been told by the Zigvolts.

Silver giggles as Lilia runs a hand through his hair, mussing up those light strands. “Open it, open it!”

So Lilia does, pulling on the string and loosening the pouch. And as soon as he does, he finds…

A handful of shredded leaves, some wet moss, a couple of berries — the non-poisonous ones, and Lilia sighs with relief at the knowledge that Silver has caught on — and, to top it all off, a pinecone.

Lilia blinks. “This is lovely, Silver,” he says, and he’s not lying, because anything this sweet human boy he’s growing fonder of, day after day, brings to him sparks a bit of warmth in his heart. “But… what is it?”

And imagine Lilia’s surprise when Silver grins at him brightly, and says, “Tea!”

It clicks for him after a moment’s pause, mind caught on that one word before everything falls into place. Oh, Lilia realises, eyeing the pouch, at the way the leaves have been shredded, the small size of the pinecone, everything clumped together. It looks much like the contents of the little canister of tea leaves he has, a gift from Baul’s daughter along with a teasing note about drinking it if he finds it a bit hard to sleep.

Silver has brought him tea leaves. Silver had watched him scoop them out and steep them in water, perched on tiptoes on a stool pushed up against the counter as Lilia prepared breakfast, and thought to himself that he would go out in the woods and get Lilia some tea.

Warmth swells forth within his heart in one big burst, engulfing his chest until it reaches his cheeks.

Whisking the pouch to the counter with his magic, Lilia sweeps up Silver in his arms, spinning around as the boy yelps before he giggles. “How darling of you,” Lilia coos, happiness thrumming through him. “To think of me, and to bring me such a sweet gift!”

“I hope you like it, Toto!”

“Well let’s find out, shall we?”

And though Lilia enjoys the cup of tea he brews very much, relishing in it as Silver watches, the young boy still too sensitive to enjoy a scalding drink that’s too hot for his tongue, he realises, halfway through, that there’s definitely something poisonous in this.

Oh well, he thinks, as he feels his throat beginning to itch relentlessly from the inside-out, his eyes beginning to swell slightly. That’s another thing to teach Silver in the future, I suppose.

Perhaps he’ll avoid eating the leftover tea leaves for once. He’ll have to scrape them into the bin. What a waste, Lilia sighs to himself, though there’s no real disappointment in any of it. How could there be, when he’s basking in the thoughtfulness of Silver’s actions?

Honestly, I go absolutely feral for the "calm and collected character barely holding onto their control when it comes to their love interest" so Halsin will always be my favorite romance route.

From him being very serious about consent/open communication whether in a poly relationship or not, him simply being happy to spend whatever time with tav that they allow, his support and understanding during the story, and him finding happiness in the simplest things I simply adore him.

His romance scene even without the bear route absolutely floored me. Thank you to both the fans for insisting on it and the developers for adding it in.

Nice dunk on polyamory you have there, it would be a shame if monogamous couples didn't do the exact same fucking thing all the time

[notwithaste]

phryne fisher would appreciate the sense of freedom and certain liberties her relationship with jack would allow for but would not actually feel the pull to indulge in it, in this essay i WILL

[freckliedan]

thank you for being brave enough to sexualize dan on main in a world of losers and cowards. somebody (me, carnally) needs to match his freak (he has a bf that fucks him good but being monogamous for 15 years means he just needs to act a little slutty online sometimes for attention and i support it)

i'm being the change i wish to see in the world. dan's always posting for attention and me? if dan said bark i'd literally just start barking at her.

[ale-arro]

romantic attraction wants you to feel it so badly. bc why am i out here being like, "man i keep daydreaming about a relationship with this person, maybe i Am romantically attracted to them." meanwhile the daydream is that he's closeted so i can't tell anybody about it and we meet up like once a week and that's it. yeah classic normative romantic attraction

What my Barbie movie review would sound like

[transzilla]

U ever meet that brand of anger issues city tboy? Like usually from some major fag city like montreal or seattle nd tgeir idea of a joke is just insulting somebody. No sick skillz no nothing they cant back anything up just blind aggression covering up a toxic shame complex. See these guys i never know how to act around cus i grew up around a man like this so my defensive reaction is non existent and i just freeze. i have to work through it cus i get taken advantage of a lot. Meanwhile i see these types like wahhh i dont know how to feel bad for people and all my friends and significant others leave because im an incredibly abrasive person!! like dude you can probably tell when youve been an asshole im sorry not everything is a hill you have to die on becayse your feelings got hurt. THATS TOUGH BROOOOO

[lunadreamscaper]

Do people still get pressed over Ghost x Katrina

I always found it kinda funny because she’s dead anyways it doesn’t hurt your own ship now does it 😭 people have more than one relationship in their life. ALSO!! Ghost has: two hands!!!

I think people also didn’t like it bc they didn’t like the idea of Ghost being with a girl… which… I see where they’re coming from but also Toast has canonically been married to a woman before too so like 💀

I’m still bitter over how people acted about it back in the day. Luckily I think it’s gotten better.

I am THIS CLOSE to headcanoning Ghost (and others) as polyamorous just to fuck with people who think like that and/or also think Ghost has to be with only one person Toast and get mad at any other ship/lh/silly/srs

because YALL that’s silly stop it! THEY ALL HAVE TWO HANDS! also I enjoy polyamorous relationships in media (I’m also polyamorous if that helps lol)

PIE polycule is so valid yall if you ship that I love you. 😭

my boyfriend has another person he's been seeing that he met before me. last night we were talking about her and he told me it's kind of been petering off--they both have opposite schedules and rarely see each other. i had a response that surprised me: i said "but you like her! i'm so sorry! you should try talking to her about it!"

i had no idea that i was capable of working through my own tendency toward jealousy and possessiveness in light of wanting my partner to be happy. huh.
