Now it can be told how that all works on Earth Disney:
Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Donald are the platonic ideals of mice, dogs, and ducks, while the mouse, Pluto, and the ducks are lesser forms of said ideal.

"Platonic" refers to Plato's idea that we recognize different objects as the same type of thing because there is a universal "ideal object". You could point at a dozen weird lamps and still identify them as lamps because they all share a common quality/essence with the true/default/perfect/Platonic lamp. All dogs are recognizably dogs because they share a trait with the Platonic dog, etc.
"Platonic love" refers to the the truest, most ideal love, of which other types of love - romantic, familial, aesthetic - are mere shadows.
(tangent: Plato was the original "we're living in a simulation!" philosophy nut, and a lot of his ideas kinda stem from that)
On Friendship.

Trying to look up the concept of "Platonic Ideal" and I swear to fuck every single result is a philosophical debate complicated enough to make Chidi bust. I don't need a lecture, just give me a two sentence rundown so I can make sure I'm using it correctly in a joke. Jesus.

Behold, the European platonic ideal of a frog.
#frog#animals#wildlife#nature#amphibian#the fact that the literal bog-standard frog in Europe is commonly known as the 'edible frog' is also quite telling#I say European platonic ideal because this is NOT what the ideal frog looks like if you were to average all modern frogs out#for one that frog would almost certainly be brown#but also it would be MUCH smaller#and have probably much less webbed feet#Pelophylax#Pelophylax kl. esculentus#why yes my son does have sauropod gumboots thanks for asking

Favorite type of chicken GO
Fell in love with the feral chickens of Hawai'i when I was studying Marine Biology there. I know it's an ecological and social clusterfuck, but the individual birds I got to know there were gorgeous animals with heaps of personality and were generally a balm on my soul during some of the worst mental health of my life.

Also- Shoutout to the awesome Jem t-shrit.
Watch this to learn how to put down toxic masculinity and internalized misogyny. As with “the kids these days are terrible” beginning circa prehistory (thanks Plato) this points to “men aren’t masculine anymore” and tracks it backward.
I keep saying nothing ever changes to those who know history.
#the nostalgia trap#idealized and naïve#the perfect past#craving 'simpler times'#uncomplicated#unexamined lives#toxic masculinity#yet another#platonic ideal#wtf is gender#the human condition#gender is a social construct#gender is made up#it's all made up#we're born naked>everything after that is drag!

I can barely begin to express how much the course of my life has been altered because of a 40 minute highlight video done by @jelloapocalypse and friends riffing over a 20 year old sky pirate game.
I made an off-handed comment after watching it together with two of my longtime friends, about how much I wish I had what Vyrsa had, and one of those friends STRAIGHT-UP TELLS ME that her and her wife have been crushing on me for a while.
The feeling was mutual, though I'd been of course hesitant to even hint at it.
Anyway now a few months later, we're a thruple, and we decided to honor the genesis of our relationship by cosplaying as the trio that made it a reality for my 30th birthday!
PinkCatNinja, me (CatComixzStudios), and ArtieStokes as Aika, Vyce Vyrsa, and Fina respectively, from SKIES OF ARCADIA!
And as a bonus, a comment I left on the video before my egg would crack completely (was still IDing as genderfluid at the time)
#skies of arcadia#cosplay#gabbin'#i still cannot get over how much of a bullseye this video ended up being for me#i could not possibly be more the Target Audience if i tried#cool game with hilarious commentary where the crew headcanon the main trio as a thruple?#where the lead is a trans girl?#all they need to do is make it furry and they would have basically created the Platonic Ideal of art to me#anyway special thanks to pinkcatninja for being the one to shoot her shot#and to artiestokes for working her ASS off making these costumes#we had smaller versions of the flag but we're also thinking of doing this cosplay again complete with weapon props and stuff#hoping to also get pictures if we do it again to mirror the actual thumbnail of the vid#(fun fact: the thumbnail for the video is what we use as the icon for our personal discord server)#god. wild to think that i'm probably gonna be moving in with them in the future#seriously i'm never going to get over the domino chain this video has become in my life

Impulse: talking about how cool it was to reach 1 mil subs Someone in chat: Skizz is gonna overtake you soon
Impulse, no hesitation, with his entire impussy:
G O O D.
I can't wait. I can't wait! Honestly I would LOVE- I would ABSOLUTELY love to see Skizz pass me in everything. Subs, views, everything. Dude deserves it. I've been dreaming about that since I started. Him coming along and making his way up and overtaking me and me riding- I'll ride his coattails for a while, you know!
#impulsesv#skizzleman#imp and skizz#they are so besties#don't look at me#impulse loves skizz so much it's not even funny#a man with an endless thirst to be the best at what he does and yet he dreams of his best friend succeeding more than him#a guy with unstoppable ambition and all he wants is that his bestie reaches beyond anyone else#they are so platonic ideal i don't even know what to say#imp and skizz everyone#this was from the 19/2/2024 stream btw#just for those who are interested#dose of impulse#dose of skizz

A wonderful exploration of the horse's platonic ideal through very magnetic art.

Very specific type of purgatory is getting into a new show/game/series/etc and finding out it has does have a real, vibrant fandom!
Unfortunatally the fandom is somehow entirely dedicated to what were by far the least interesting parts of the thing, and show little to no interest in what you actually liked about it.
This goes from purgatory to a circle of hell if it's an ongoing release and you can see the thing start engaging with and being shaped by the fandom.

marauders fandom is so funny conceptually like. i’m so attached to barty crouch jr but specifically the version of him from my head and not anybody else’s. i can’t even be like “i want him so bad but that man is pixels” because he’s not even pixels at this point….. he is neurons. bro is a figment of my imagination

Currently obsessed with the concept of mutual and acknowledged hanahaki. Like two people who both have hanahaki for each other, and who both know about it, who both know that the other loves them and still aren’t cured.
The flowers stay, not because their love isn’t reciprocated, but because they don’t belive in it, or because its temporary, because the other deserves better, because they have complicated history, because they both already have significant others, perhaps the love isn’t enough because they both can’t put that love first, maybe their ideals and lotalties come first for both. Its not unrequited love, but its not quite enough.
just kinda love the image of two lovers-but-not-yet-maybe-never-lovers sitting together, picking flowers out of each other’s throats.
#read approximately 200 zosan fics and this is the result#also this is just the entirety of the second half of Little Mushroom#Where they’re like Damn I love you so fucking much#unfortunately I simply cannot give up my ideals and self for this love and I know you can’t either and I live you for it#Its very griddlehark as well#OH AS SOOO CORONA IANTHE SISTER THINGS#hanahaki in a platonic sense for that one#omg actually its sooo isolde/kakania too#all my favourite things will fig jnto thix new thing im obsessed with anc you can fo nothing to stop mr#headcanon#reverse 1999#the locked tomb#gideon the ninth#harrow the ninth#little mushroom#one piece#griddlehark#zosan

it's so funny how everyone's shapeshifter version of laios had literally no thoughts head completely empty, and this is how the other three party members see him, but because laios actually has three thoughts (monsters, eating, and falin), none of which are caring what others think of him, he doesn't absorb the implications for even a half second

really really really tired of asoiaf (but lbr mostly hotd) fans who keeping whining about how ‘ugly’ the actor playing whichever of their faves is, or getting up in arms at the very idea that someone who looks like anything besides AI wank material could be cast as a targaryen etc like ok then just leave lol. it’s a book series that intentionally includes ugly characters and their experiences of ugliness and if you are that disturbed by the thought of even an ordinary looking person playing a fictional character in a tv show then go somewhere else bc clearly u do not like the material you just want something to get off to
#like I’m so sick of seeing Emilia Clarke toted at this platonic ideal Targaryen purely bc of what she looks like#how fucking depressing
