#poly can be open relationships

[a-ikuoliver]

which of your f/o’s is fucking you until the bed breaks when your boyfriend suggests opening the relationship?

How do you think Vox and Val would react to someone flirting with Vel?

they're whipping out buckets of popcorn to gleefully watch the ensuing evisceration when she inevitably gets annoyed enough to finally look up from her phone

stupid question but is it weird and creepy and fetishizing to like the fact that my girlfriend is dating other people even though i’m not polyam? i just think it’s really cute to see her with her other partners but im worried im being weird so i don’t say anything and now im worried ive given her the wrong impression bc she doesn’t seem to mention her other partners or be as affectionate with them around me any more and i don’t want that? idk.

So like. There definitively is a fetish for that. Its called cuckholding. And if you're getting off sexually to the idea of your partner with other people, there's nothing wrong with that.

But based only on what you told me, which did not mention you being sexual about it, and did not mention you doing anything that might be construed as overstepping... sounds you're just a supportive partner. Which is a good thing? The weirdest part to me is that you don't want your partner to know how supportive you are. Like just think about it for a second. If your partner took an interest in, I don't know, opera singing 🎶, and you've never given a shit about the opera and in fact think it sounds kind of boring, but were supportive of your partner giving it a try... you wouldn't hide your support. You wouldn't be like "I better not offer to drive her to rehearsals,😓 what if she thinks I like the opera now for dropping her off and not even seeing/hearing it!" You'd be like "break a leg, babe! I'll see you in a few hours!"

I'm not saying its impossible to be into it in a way that makes your partner uncomfortable for some reason, but the chances of that are pretty damn low 🤏in my experience. You should be telling your partner how you feel! Is that not the point of being in a relationship! To share your joys! I think she'll be thrilled you're so happy about it. And by the way, there's a word for being happy for your partner, too. Its compersion and its a beautiful thing! Quit inventing problems and go love your girlfriend!

"If polyamory were normalized..." SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK. You're so right that Hunter's Luz's type. If she weren't SEVERELY crushing on Amity by Hunting Palisman she'd have gone a little bit heart eyes at the sad wet cat boy. That being said. Lumity Real and Good. I feel like in the human realm the girls would sometimes have girl talks at night and Amity would ask Willow "Why Hunter of all people???" and Luz would be like "Nah i get it, he's kinda cute in a weird way"

addition to the last ask: the absolute COMEDY of "mean lesbian Amity" wanting to insult Luz's taste for saying Hunter's cute but being unable to without insulting herself. Peak Fucking Comedy

honestly i ship the lavender winter polycule (hunter/willow/amity/luz) like BURNING so this all slots delightfully into it. i think it's totally reasonable that the kiddos might end up negotiating more complex and/or flexible entanglements with each other as they get older, that doesn't have to mean that they end their current relationships. like maybe it's just because i'm polyamorous but this has happened with So Many Groups Of Friends of mine.

amity being like "why is your taste so terrible. i recognize that i'm including me in this but it's necessary because HUNTER????" and luz being like "i guess i just really like people who are fundamentally kind and do their best to rise above shitty circumstances :)" and amity being like [STRUGGLE] [STRUGGLE] "DON'T DO THAT >:(((("

they're. perfect. thank god.

god i feel you so hard about feeling like everyone's second priority when they have a partner. my (now ex) partner got another partner and it felt like i was instantly shafted. i had a discussion where i told them "hey i know you're excited about your new partner but it feels like you're ignoring me and only wanting to spend time with the new partner and i feel like im being left out" and they were like "oh no! i dont feel that way at all! i still love you :)" and then still proceeded to spend more time with the other partner until i couldnt stand it anymore and just had to break up with them (at which point they told me that they felt love for the first time with this other person and wanted to pursue it and thought it was a good idea for us to break up anyway which. fucking ouch.)

Oh my god anon that’s horrible. I’m so sorry that happened to you

[zapsoda]

actually maybe i dont understand monogamy as much as i thought i did because i dont feel any inherent discomfort at the idea of a hypothetical partner being romantically interested in another person or people as long as they are Still romantically interested in me

No because I've seen so many people complaining about Joseph cheating being out of character when the first thing I said when I found out was "oh yeah checks out lol" .

should I start writing a jeric or shory fanfic 👀

I’m v experienced (I’ll still make mistakes and shit tho bc I am only human) with all types of writings bc I’ve been doing it for like 6-7 years now. I’m just wondering if my time and efforts would be wanted on a project like this or no bc I am v busy (#collegelife🤪) tryna juggle everything.

So, just let me know y’all!! And if you have ideas for a fic you wanna see me write, just message me and pitch ‘em!

In full support of having cake and eating it, too;

gay!Faramir and bi!Eowyn marriage of convenience, orchestrated by Eomer who's like

"You, lord Faramir, need a wife to give you an heir and not mind the besotted looks you send our King. My dear sister needs a man who won't constrain her to house and hearth or mind the company she keeps. You should talk."

(Little Elboron still grows up well-loved though. Brought along to whever his parents go instead of left with a wet nurse, he can ride before he can walk and has disrupted many a council meeting with his happy babbling.)

I'm not sure why it's common to assume that systems are all open to poly relationships, but we are not interested in anyone but our partner.

Midas does not care for competition with anyone he's interested in. He's a bit of a narcissist (man has his own name tattooed down his throat). He is perfectly fine being involved with multiple people himself, but when there's competition for someone else, he's willing to bow out and bide his time. Unless, of course, his possessiveness gets in the way of that. Though in those cases, he's never been the one to lose.
