#or being a qpr couple

[felixcosm]

a version of Michel and Ty!

Send me a ship and I will explain why I do or don’t ship it

Oh this is my JAM. I LOVE MichaelTy so so much! My favorite couple is Texlaw, Texas!Michael and Outlaw!Ty.

While other Mikes and Tys have interesting dynamics, Texlaw is my favorite of them all.

Outlaw was inspired by a Michael to leave the Compound and pursue his own identity, to become a cowboy and be someone else, someone that the Compound can't control.

Tex was set free by Blue who loved him and wanted to spare him a life of suffering. He sent him to Texas, per his wish and that's where Outlaw ended up when he heard there was a Michael there.

And their relationship isn't smooth from the very beginning, you can hear the tension in episode 106 or 108 where it's obvious that Tex doesn't trust Outlaw 100% and Outlaw thinks about returning to his experiments.

But in S11 when we see them again, suddenly it's changed. Outlaw and Tex are attached to the hip, they speak very fondly of each other (like when Tex goes "Outlaw's better than any witch, he's a scientist" he sounds so damn proud of him) and they're a great team.

They're vulnerable around each other and comfortable with showing affection. Outlaw breaks down in front of him and Tex doesn't hesitate to take him into his arms and comfort him.

They both escaped the oppressive Compound for the sake of living their true lives out in Texas and they've built up a small family that they'd kill and die for. Theyre amazing 💖💖

i dont know how it took me this long to fully come to terms with it but. im literally just aro. or something to that effect.

Grah as someone who does sort of like zelink its just??? Disappointing? Disheartening? That people are SO hellbent on them being an explicitly romantic couple and getting mad at others for being like "oh i just see them as friends :)" and coming onto people's posts where they are portrayed as friends or just close with no romance and being like "uuuum actually theyre MARRIED theyre in a RELATIONSHIP! BC OBVIOUSLY you can NEVER share a house with someone without being married! Zelink canon 😏 cope seethe🔥" like do you understand how painfully annoying that is

[contagious-watermelon]

what is it with the aro community basically reinventing amatornomativity but including (some of) us this time. acting like QPRs are the solution to your problems and obviously theyre more meaningful and important than friendships and what do you mean you don't want a platonic life partner? well if you're "just friends" they're gonna leave you for their romantic relationship eventually — no, no, you can't mean that, "best friend" is either just the same thing as a QPR or not good enough to stay in your life forever. you don't like how you probably won't ever be able to have kids because who's going to let a single trans man adopt a child, and even if they did how would you support them, and no for the last time i don't want to marry anyone even platonically. i do not want a partner ever. ever.

but don't you know that all of us hate amatonormativity? but we're fine with it when we're included. oh and don't you know aros can date too? did you know? did you know you can date too?

you have problems? society isn't structured for you? you have to learn to navigate socially and legally in a world that's built for couples and that's a very distressing experience and you're invisible if you don't loudly proclaim your aromanticism after every room you walk in — but we're gonna keep arguing about shipping. what do you mean you have more problems than people being stupid in fandom? what, is the one aroace character who got "confirmed" off-screen and never mentioned outside of that at all not good enough for you? that doesn't actually change anything for you societally?

but you surely want a QPR. it's totally not just us forcing some watered-down romance on you after you said you didn't want it (but did you know aros can date too? surely you didn't forget that. aros can still love and we hate that you're implying they can't). all of your problems with society hating you for your singleness and aro-ness would be solved if you just got a partner — no, a platonic one, why would you assume otherwise? this is nothing like telling a gay man to just suck it up and marry a woman. see, that would be homophobic, but you? didn't you know that aros can still date?

Help for some reason my brain decided to have tons of fanfiction ideas except I literally DO NOT HAVE THE TIME to write them at this point in my life so for now I’m just playing them out in my head 24/7 waiting for the holidays to come so I can start up on at least ONE project because I quite frankly CANNOT LIVE LIKE THIS ANYMORE

augh the ot3 and saimatsu...... i just love themb so so so so so much there are so few ships i feel this strongly about... nine times out of ten if i "ship" something it's in a sorta hypothetical way where i hardly ever imagine them doing romantic things together and more just. i like them when they stand next to each other and their dynamic is good/silly/tragic/etc. but saimatsu and saiibomatsu make me so unwell (positive) like. if my aro romance repulsed ass is imagining a ship getting married i have it BAD for them ok

Seems like the only way id enjoy shipping Natsu with someone is if hes Not in a standard / traditional coupling

[ id: drawings featuring three object head characters: Aloe, a curvy adult with brown skin and a lava lamp for a head, Petra, a taller fat adult with brown skin and a cactus for a head, and Shelby, a small baby with light-brown skin and a fishbowl head. in the first image Aloe is tenderly holding a 4 month old sleeping Shelby in her arms. next, Shelby is shown at 6 months old, sitting up by herself, sticking her tongue out. then, Petra is spoon feeding her while she sits in a high chair, at 8 months old. in the second image, Shelby at 10 months old is standing & takes a small step forward, looking up enthusiastically. Petra and Aloe beside each other react with loving awe; Petra, with teary eyes raise their hands to their mouth, and Aloe gently touches Petra's arm. the words "first steps!" is written in all caps. end id ]

A QPR ISN'T YOUR FUCKING JOKER CARD TO PUT ARO PEOPLE IN A RELATIONSHIP BTW :)

[ozlices]

i hate being an annoying ass hopeless romantic it makes being not taken actually insufferable. i cant even call myself single bc im NOT im plural & my alters are all aro except one other besides me so im not taken AND annoying by default

[astro-inthestars]

Tragic: Hopeless Romantic cursed to be Third Wheel </3

The only thing that Eliphas and Don can agree on regarding Astral is that if someone picks on him then he should punch them in the face.

Therefore it's not very surprising that Astral has been in many fights (mostly with Vector)

And when the school calls, Eliphas just sends Don to deal with it.

And Ena just watches. She is SO DONE with these big boys and their 'parenting'.

Mr Kay: Astral, why'd you punch Vector in the face?

Astral: Papa said it was ok. Dad said it was 'quite alright'

SILLY :DD

The sillies!!!!!!!

Ok hear me out: Narilamb but they're both aroace and in a qpr.

I've been rolling around in my head for like a long long time this idea that Narinder and Lambert could both be aroace and (after like. A couple of centuries or so) end up in this like very comfortable very close relationship that neither of them define as anything specific other than calling it a "companionship". But on the other hand most of the cult thinks that they're dating in secret or something despite the fact that both of them have said they don't take lovers, because they are clearly very tight but maybe not super openly so, so maybe the cultists thing they're being secretive and hiding something or something like that. Idk but my aroace brain loves thinking about extremely close (mostly) platonic relationships and for some reason my brain decided hmm. I'm going to take this and throw it at Narilamb and see how I like it.

So then I decided to make a ridiculous joke comic about Narinder asking Lambert's hand in marriage specifically because he wants to get out of paying taxes. Because like, I know that spouse followers do actually still have to pay taxes in the actual game but. Hey Narinder and Lambert have presumably never married so they probably don't know that...? Honestly the only reason I made this was because the concept tickled me and I spent too much time on this for no one to see it, so. This comic and all it's absolute ridiculousness be upon ye.

While there's a tiny part of me that's been thinking about making this into an AU (which I'd probably call something like the "Strictly Platonic AU" or something), I know for a fact that I would blatantly not do anything legitimate with it so. It's an unofficial AU I guess?? But. Anyways. I thought this would be funny. Enjoy my ramblings and I hope you enjoy this thing that I spent. Actual time on. Lol
