#polyamorous problems

By the way, no one wants to hear “as long as everyone involved is consenting” tacked on to the end of “polyamorous acceptance”.

Do you tack on “as long as everyone involved is consenting” when talking about marriage? When talking about same-sex couples? When talking about interracial relationships? No? Okay then don’t tack it on when talking about polyamory. It’s not polyamory if “not everyone involved is consenting”. So you don’t need to tack it on.

Ok no the worst part about polyamory is my partners are spread across four different states and I want to CUDDLE THEM ALL AT ONCE RIGHT THE FUCK NOW.

[acelessthan3]

Was at a polyamory discussion group the other week and someone said something like "my partners make fun of me for constantly being in a state of falling in love with someone" and hearing the chorus of "same"s and "I feel that"s across the room was validating. It's like when my ex said "you have so much love to give" as we were breaking up. Or my friend calling me "the most romantically-horny person" they've ever met.

Being polyamorous I think is the most Booboo the Fool-ified identity you could possibly have because whatever person you date first is not going to want you to be with someone else (let alone be with you AND someone else 24/7), and there’s a reason they call thirds Unicorns because I’m convinced they don’t fucking exist. I’m so sad and butthurt and just feel gross and lonely because even though I HAVE a partner interested in being polyamorous with me, no one wants to be in our relationship. My dream of having a TF2 8-player snuggle bed is just not happening and I feel myself longing for it worse and worse evry day.

Polyamorous Problem of the Morning:

(A poem. Because it can be.)

Here am I

Being the household introvert And an awkward socializer

Like those sans Social Anxiety

Can only dream of being

While also

Being awake

My fuzzy alarm clocks make sure

I get up every day

Meow

The other humans

The ones who live here

Sleep on and on and on

While someone else's guest

ALSO gets up in the morning

I have a problem.

A few days ago, a dating app recommended my girlfriend's cousin to me. Ever since, I can't stop thinking about them. They're extremely handsome and very much my type.

To compound the issue, their name is Josh. So every time people make the joke about Jesus being oily Josh, I think of this person oiled up. Then I remember that they're my girlfriend's cousin and wipe the drool off my chin.

My therapist has started referring to my partners and I as a Threesome during our sessions I'm gonna lose it

“Im a non binary polyamorous pansexual vers switch with abandonment issues, so maybe I am not the best person to be told ‘no you choose’”

“…babe are you okay we were talking about dinner choices”

So I'm writing a sidlinkyona fanfic-

@pseudocyance gave me the idea to post it on Tumblr, and I'll post it in chapters!

Without further ado, here is chapter 1 of Water and Wishes!

---------------------------------------------------

It was a moonlit night in Hyrule, and Link was all alone. Hyrule had already been saved, and Link's obligation to save Hyrule had been broken. The hero was still yearning for someone however, and that someone was a certain king of the Zora.

Sidon was his best friend—and even though Link wanted to just think of him as that—he couldn't suppress the feeling of love for him. It didn't help that Sidon was already engaged to Yona. Even if Link wanted to ask Sidon to be his lover, he couldn't because the king already loved Yona. Link wasn't mad at either of them; he just wanted to love Sidon.

Link couldn’t help but glance at Sidon's avatar, which was standing watch beside him. It was his best friend in spirit, but it wasn't really him. It wasn't Sidon; Link would have to go to the domain to see the real king. Why did he feel like this? What made Sidon so… different from everybody else?

Link could only wonder as he sat by the water of Lake Hylia. He looked over at Sidon's avatar again, and he sighed softly.

“Why do you have to be so… perfect?” Link asked Sidon's avatar. “Why do you have to be the greatest guy I've ever met?”

Sidon's avatar didn't respond, as it was just his spirit. Why did everything have to be so difficult? Link's mind then drifted to thoughts of what it would be like if Sidon loved him. It would be wonderful to be loved by him in Link's opinion. Sidon was just so dreamy to Link.

Meanwhile, Sidon was alone with Yona in their room in the Zora Palace. They were madly in love with each other, even though their marriage was arranged by their fathers. Sidon and Yona were perfect for one another, but Sidon still felt incomplete. He too loved Link—and he knew that Yona wouldn't mind—but he didn't want to tell her. Yona herself had a hunch that Sidon was head over fins for Link, as she noticed that Sidon spoke of him so fondly and often.

“Sidon, dear, is there anything you'd like to tell me?” Yona asked, a smug smile on her face.

“What? No, everything is fine!” Sidon responded. “Though I have to tell you that I'm so glad to have you as my queen.”

“You do know that you can tell me anything, right dear? Is there anything you'd like to tell me about Link?”

“Anything other than that he is my best friend?”

“Yes, Sidon. I already know that. It's just that you seem very enamored by him.”

“Enamored? What do you mean, Yona?”

“You love him, Sidon. I know that you do.”

“What? No! I can't love him, I already love you so much!”

“You can love more than one person, Sidon. I don't mind that you love him, I just want you to be happy. He's a charmer I must admit, and I can see why you love him so much.”

“You've caught me red-handed, Yona. I do love Link. You really don't mind?”

“No, I don't mind one bit, Sidon. We should have a picnic with him soon, so that we can both confess our feelings to him and have a nice conversation.”

“That sounds perfect, Yona. You are the best queen I could ever ask for!”

“And you're the best king that I could hope for, Sidon.”

What's missing in the whole "bisexuals are valid regardless of preferences" discourse is an analysis of how compulsory heterosexuality (which is a systemic force) shapes these preferences.

We live in a society that will constantly (directly or indirectly) push you into heterosexual paths.

And in the case of bi people this means there is a certain pressure and compulsion to only act on one part of your attraction

I need help. I've just entered a poly relationship and I'm afraid of screwing up. I need someone who knows about poly relationships to ask questions. I'm a woman with 2 girlfriends.

somewhere out there is an alternate timeline where toby was correct and people actually did hate spamton. could you imagine that. i have to imagine we wouldn't have gotten the spamton sweepstakes in that case which is crazy to think about given how much lore that gave us-

Compersion so powerful you fall for a guy hard and the whole gd polycule falls with you.

that one bozo who made the gender swapped dame aylin mod: it's unrealistic for minorities to exist in this game because it's supposed to take place in medieval europe!!!!

Fucking hilarious that the BNHA yuri bait can't even muster the strength to limp over the bar for the Bechdel test, meanwhile trashy grindhouse manga Chainsaw Man about the guy who wants to touch boobs both does that and features an on-panel lesbian polycule orgy just to flex.

I wish all those people singing praises to Hirokoshi a very read Chainsaw Man.
