#platonic feelings

"literally what would be the platonic explanation for this?" are you sure you're ready for that conversation?

[robyn-i-guess]

liking someone platonically is so embarrassing like. yeah i admire you. yeah i think about you all the time. yeah i look forward to every time i see you even if it's only for a minute. yeah it's all platonic and yeah i couldn't explain this because it'd sound romantic. fucking hell

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Later, if I missed my chance I will hold that ache in my heart and nurse the wounds with your smile. But now, now I will not hold you back with the weight of my questions and unsure possibilities. Now I will smile and hold my tongue. This right now is worth it.

Sometimes...characters being in a romantic relationship is worse.

Okay 3 things

1. I was thinking about an aroace Sonic who says things that can be taken as wildly flirty/romantic but he just means them genuinely. “You have beautiful eyes, I keep getting distracted while looking at them,” not cause he’s interested romantically in them but because eyes can be really cool and pretty man I dunno what to tell you he likes looking at cool things and he thinks his friends are neat. “You’re the most beautiful person here,” because he really thinks that, he loves his friends

2. Sonic randomly dropping heartfelt genuine comments on his friends out of the blue completely blindsiding them and then moves on like nothing happened while they’re left going ?????? Bonus points if he does something immensely stupid or jerkish just before or immediately afterwards and they can’t tell if he was serious or not with the compliment (yes he was)

3. Sonic usually being so allergic to truly vulnerable moments that when he expresses something heartfelt randomly Tails thinks he’s been stabbed or something and does not believe him when he reassures him that he’s fine he’s fine he’s not dying yeesh

"We don't need to do anything. We can just be."

Happy bi/pan visibility day (it's everyday for me). Also a sprinkle of ace and a dash of survivor and to top it all off- other expressions of intimacy, affection & connection taken seriously. I'm doing an Astarion origin playthrough and I ship him with Karlach like FedEx, your honor.

this is not about my personal feelings about trobed, that's a different story and let's not get there - for now -, but I think is so funny when you guys talk about troy and britta's relationship as "proof" that troy was in love with abed because like why would he prioritize his best friend over his girlfriend?? that would be a crazy thing to do thefore he's in love🤪🤪

Let's be crystal clear. Queerbaiting is real. But it occurs when the creators intentionally hint at a queer relationship to lure in a queer audience to give them money, but never actually follow through on their heavy-handed implications of a queer relationship. Queerbaiting does not occur when the creator has been transparent from the very beginning that Malevolent is about friendship and platonic love, meant to work through the toxic masculinity they've lived throughout their entire life, and to express healthy platonic love (and sometimes unhealthy love) between two male-presenting characters. It is not queerbaiting when they emphatically tell each other that they love each other, because love isn't exclusively romantic, and while it is absolutely okay for people to ship them (and something that the creator is totally FINE with, btw), it is not okay to accuse the creator of lying about their relationship when he's been clear about it from the very beginning.

Friendship and platonic love is just as meaningful as romantic love and that's the whole point of Malevolent.

silly doodle i did this morning to test out a stylus pen that a friend of mine let me borrow

This has probably already been talked about ages ago but I'm rewatching this scene for the millionth time and.

Steve when Robin's talking about Click's class:

Steve when Robin says, "I sat behind you--"

"--two days a week for a year."

Just. The slow, dawning realisation that he could've known Robin so much sooner. The realisation that he spent a year sitting in front of her and never noticed, or cared to notice.

He doesn't just look sad, he looks devastated. Crushed beyond belief to realise that she'd been in his orbit all this time and he'd never seen her.

If only he'd turned around. If only he'd cared to notice things beyond himself back then.

A bitter joke from the universe. To let him finally see her as they both think they're going to die.

feeling so fucked up over kim dokja and yoo sangah. what if you cracked your soul open and shoved me inside of it to keep me safe. what if I got cozy inside your soul and read every page of the story that makes you who you are. and we were both coworkers.
