#platonic love/relationships

#the relationship is strictly platonic AND they're so in love #send tweet #they're fucking weird and abnormal about each other in a completely and strictly platonic way #heart emoji #like no it's not a secret third thing either #expand your ability to appreciate platonic relationships and all their complexity #and weirdness #and all that #my fave thing is super weird inscrutable bizarre relationships that actually are like #explicitly and specifically platonic #not ~ambiguous or ~up to interpretation or whatever #platonic. and all of the other stuff too.

"their relationship is strictly platonic" "they're so in love" well, more importantly, they are fucking weird and abnormal about each other in an undeniable way

"Friends dont look at friends that way" COWARD. I look at my friends with awe in my eyes, my chest is filled with love, im glowing because i get to be near my friends. I look at my friends and i would give them my everything. SO SKILL ISSUE, look at your friends with all the love that you have

omg look at how they look at each other 😍😍 there's NO romantic explanation for this literally the amount of devotion they have could only be platonic. people who r just dating don't act like that, those two are sooo best friends

#aight im not a shipper. i like things platonically #and this scene is such a huge sign of sonic and shadow's trust in each other there its crazy actually #they just finished kicking each others asses and tried to calm each other not so long before this #for the most of the film whenever they were in the same area they were fighting to actually harm one another #(ok not sonic until tom got hurt. but you get the idea??) #and here. oh here #despite everything they were through for what. few days? hours? #they put their trust on a shared plate to work together #THEY HAD TO TRUST EACH OTHER A HELL LOT TO PERFORM THAT SPIN #AAAAAAAA #like they could fear for another to let go!! one of them could actually let go!!! and they didnt!!!!! #the immense amount of trust displayed just in this gif!!! insane!!!! #i wish i could trust someone so much #big sucker for them cooperating. need more of that #sonic trusting shadow even though he hurt his only paternal figure and at the time not even knowing if he could recover from the injury..... #god sonic the Just A Guy Who Loves Adventure that you are #wearing his trust on a sleeve all the time. and every time hes right #fucked up. fucked up the writing in this series is i say

Thinking about Super Sonic and Shadow holding hands in space and just AJSJDKFKANAJSKDJSJJSJSJ IT WAS SO COOL!

They looked like shooting stars❤️🥹❤️

Alastor: “Now, let’s talk about literally anything else please!”

Me: “Good! Cause I don’t know where you went so I can’t go further with this!😂”

Spurred by a recent disagreement between my ex and I, I want ask;

If "other" explain in the tags, or clarify if something seemingly higher on the list is acceptable but something lower isn't.

I'm actually really curious about this because I'm wondering if my view on this is skewed for various reasons.

Edit: I'm talking about what is considered socially acceptable by modern society. I know it's fine to fuck the homies.

@degenerate-mystery-inc-whore and I met on Tinder. And she is by far my best friend on the face of the Earth. I tell people that I’m in a QPR with a girl I met on Tinder, and often CisHet people are quick to ask things like, “Have you kissed,” or, “So you’re basically dating then?”

Sure, once I dressed as Lady Dimitrescu and shoved her against a wall, but that was just one time. Really? What’s amazing about our friendship is her calling me at midnight to tell me about a new Lego-train workaround she found. Or me talking for an hour about my favorite Godzilla films over the phone when I’m lonely. It’s making soup for her when she’s sick, and her making damn certain I eat when finances are tight.

I love her very dearly and I will never regret swiping right on Tinder.

💕Can you even CONCEIVE how much I suddenly love them???💕

I think they were strolling around town after having a drink together. And that ends in a little cuddle!😂💕💕💕

Dialogue from The Aristocats, of course.💗💗💗

“no seriously who did you choose?”

“i chose you”

grover and percy are the platonic soulmates. in the most literal sense possible. i mean, literally nobody in the world, including their respective girlfriends, will ever know grover and percy as well as they know each other. and not just because of their empathy link.

grover was the person who was there for percy the most. he helped percy transition from the mortal world into the greek one. he supported percy in tlt when sally was thought to be dead. grover was percy’s first friend. ever. it’s not fair how people keep forgetting that. grover saved percy’s life.

percy literally did NOT hesitate to save grover when he was kidnapped by polyphemus. percy tried his hardest to be there for grover while grover fulfilled his dreams of finding pan. percy and grover travelled through most of the labyrinth together. grover is the foundation of percy’s best traits. percy saved grover’s life.

there is no other friendship in any of riordan’s books that can compare to grover and percy’s. they’re platonic soulmates. there’s no one like them.

Allo peeps need to understand being aromantic isn't just "Ewww, romance". It's "I will follow you to the ends of the Earth and beyond, regardless of where that would lead me." Platonically, of course."

(But please keep in mind that for some it IS "Ewww, romance" And they don't need to be treated like they're not a part of this community, btw. This is an objective fact, btw. Aros are awesome, btw)

(This post is about QPRs and my experiences being aro, I just wanted to make a silly little post about that, aplatonics are valid and real this post was about me and maybe for people who relate)

[infiniteorangethethird]

it's aro week so here's a quick reminder to all my fellow aros that you don't have to "make up" for being aromantic. You don't have to love your friends twice as much to "make up" for romantic attraction you don't have to have a wide family you don't have to find The One in a qpr instead. If those things are something you want, go for it! But you shouldn't have to feel forced to go into any relationship just to make your aromanticism more palatable to outsiders.

Aromanticism isn't a hole that you need to fill. Sure it's a lack of romantic attraction but it's not a lack of self. You're already full and complete, whether or not you have more or less love in other areas of life. Do what you feel is right for you, not what others expect of you.
