#platonic affection

[undeadkazi]

Why cant you just invite your friends over to take a nap? Like your sleepy? IM sleepy?

Midday sleepover? Sounds amazing.

[my-lonely-thoughts]

Kisses can be platonic!!!!!! Cuddles and handholding can be platonic!!!! Physical affection isn't inherently romantic!!!!! You get to decide what is/isn't romantic for you!!!!! And as always, consent is key!!!!!!!

[irequirealobotomy]

Allos are such cowards

I will hug my friends. I will kiss my friends. I will carry my friends around. I will buy my friends expensive stuff. I will sleep in my friend’s bed with them. I will sit on my friend’s laps. And yes. All of this is platonic.

You say this means I’m in (romantic) love with my friends.

Coward.

True love ♥️♥️🦜

[repair-bear]

Just so y'all know I am a hugger. A platonic lover. An affectionate beast. If you give me the opportunity and consent you will be hugged. There is no situation where I will ever not want a hug. Platonic physical contact my beloved.

[loafofryebread]

it's actually so incredibly homophobic of the universe that my love language is physical touch and half of my friends live oceans and countries and expensive plane trips away where I can't give them cuddles.

Black Templar’s have me in a chokehold 😔

the thoughts that plague me…

Cozy! They deserve to be cozy and love each other without an awful traumatizing event in the way! (DO NOT TAG AS SHIP.)

Posted to my DA: https://www.deviantart.com/melodramaticwolf/art/1108711056 Drawing notes + closeups under the cut:

The pillowcases are part of a bed sheet set! I figured it would be fun to give them ocean related bed sheets and pillowcases. So the main pillows have seagulls, and the accent pillows have little waves.

Ford is paler and has darker eyebags because in my head, the little story I thought up was that he's recovering from an illness. Nothing paranormal (this time,) just a bad flu he thankfully had Stan to help him get through.

Stan has eyebags from having to consistently keep an eye on his brother, keeping him hydrated and taking care of him. Plus his own worry at seein Ford so exhausted and in pain.

Both are sporting some massive bedhead from lounging around all day. Ford for obvious reasons. Stan never strays far from his side, content to spend his day lying next to his brother, just in case he needs anything.

The pajamas! These were something I immediately had in mind when constructing the idea. I love the idea of the bros sharing clothes, whether it be a comfort item, or because one just doesn't have a clean shirt lying around. In this scenario, Stan just throws on whatever clean clothes he's able to find, since Ford is sweating through his own pretty quickly. This is how they end up sharing a set, with Stan wearing the top, and Ford ending up with the bottoms.

The top of course, has the constellation Gemini. The constellation of twins. Because I saw the opportunity to give them a cute themed set and WENT with it. Mabel sent them maybe! Who knows!

The two crowd together on the bottom bunk, it being easier on Ford when he needs to get up, and easier on Stan to help him in and out of the bottom bunk as opposed to the top. (Stan also wants to stay nearby, in case Ford has any fever dreams that careen into nightmares. Can ya blame him? He has the chance to take care of his brother, he's gonna take it by golly.)

(He wants to make up for all the times he wasn't there to help Ford, whether it be from an injury, illness, or otherwise. Now that he has the chance to, he's going to.) And of course, since its me, I gotta give them platonic affection. These two deserve it.

being able to be affectionate with your friends and it not being weird is amazing. YES to hugs that go on longer than a few seconds, staying there for a bit is AMAZING. YES to cuddling with your friends at sleepovers and such. YES to constantly reminding them how much you love them. Actions don't have to be inherently romantic, platonic affection can be the same action, without the romance. i love being 'weirdly' affectionate with my friends!!

Mistletoe Kisses

“Mistletoe! Kiss!”

Wind’s shout had the two avians in the hall away freezing, looking up. A bundle of mistletoe has been hung in the hallway and Wind is pressed to the upper railing, watching for victims. 

Sky laughs and leans down, pressing a kiss to the top of Four’s head. The bee-eater giggles and ducks under Sky’s feathers, before popping up and tackling the Frigatebird from behind. 

They continue, leaving Wind to his prank. 

“Mistletoe! Kiss!”

Warriors flips off the tropicbird, but Twilight slings an arm around his shoulder and plants a loud smack on his cheek. 

“It’s in the rules!” Then he bolts because the captain’s threat call doesn’t sound like a joke. 

“Mistletoe! Kiss!”

Hyrule and Wild walk arm and arm and pause as they look up. The magpie slips his arm free and grabs Hyrule’s hand. With an exaggerated bow, he flares his wings and presses a kiss to the back of the traveler’s hand. 

“Your Highness? Shall we continue?”

Hyrule sticks his nose in the air and swaggers down the hall in…an attempt at nobleness, maybe. “Come, squire, my bath awaits.”

“Squire? Hey, what gives! I should at least be a court jester!”

“I’ll pay you not to sing.”

“Mistletoe! Oh…it’s just you, Time.” Wind’s feathers droop as no one else follows him down the hall. 

The kite smiles. “If you came down here I’d have someone to walk with.”

“Oh!”

Wind hops the railing, spreading his wings to soften the landing. Legend would have a fit, but he’s not here. 

Time ruffles his hair and then pulls him into a hug, pressing a kiss to his forehead. “Come on, little gremlin.”

He hoists the sailor over his shoulder and is rewarded with screeching and flapping feathers. 

Undettered, he continues down the hall. 

“Someone put up mistletoe.” Ravio looks up at the bundle of greens, suspended from an empty upper hallway. 

Legend would put good rupees on it being one of Chain, or Ravio has a ghost and hasn’t told him yet. 

“Do you want…” Ravio trails off as he turns back to find Legend much closer. 

The bowerbird reaches out and entwines their fingers on both hands, pulling him close. 

“I want you to kiss me.”

The bowerbird trills sweetly back. “I can do that.”

I've been swamped with exams and not had time to draw or write recently, so just some appreciation for Bozer's hugginess. Sorry for the awful quality of most of the images lol.

Note that this compilation is from the first half of the first season alone. Have to admit that a big reason I love this show is its abundance of healthy/affectionate male friendships.

To the best of my knowledge, 1st two from S1E13, 2nd two from S1E09, fifth from S1E08, and the last one from S1E04
