What’s the difference between, like, romantic and queer platonic relationships/soulmates?

Kusuo: and it's different for everyone this is just how it works for us

Mikoto: yeah every relationship is its own!

Reita: we just vibin'

I'd like to note I have never been in a queer platonic relationship myself. But I am an aroace individual. This explanation is based on the research I did for myself in writing this askblog. I feel it's important to note this bc everyone's relationship is really the peoples involved own thing. I didn't want to go too deep with their explanation bc like I said I don't have experience with it myself.

Anyway that's all 👍 thanks for reading my note

Seeing posts about aroace mytho and I’d like to raise you my personal cherished headcanon that I hold near and dear to my heart: aromantic Duck.

So obviously people love shipping Duck so this headcanon won't catch on but hear me out. Duck's strongest relationships are (arguably) platonic ones.

Duck explicitly says she loves Mytho, yes, but as the show progresses that love becomes more evidently platonic. She admires Mytho but she doesn't want him, especially when compared with Rue. Her feelings for Mytho markedly change over the course of the first season. She stops blushing around him, stops imagining herself in a relationship with him. That initial attraction is replaced by a deep admiration and a desire to save him.

Her crush on Mytho could be read in a variety of ways--it could be physical attraction, comphet, or a simple desire to be close to him that has been misinterpreted as romantic feelings.

Beyond Mytho, she regards Rue as a beloved friend, and any indication that she may have feelings for Fakir may just easily be read as platonic. In fact, it's very telling that her closest relationship is with the person who becomes her best friend, rather than her star-crossed fairytale prince.

The part that hammers in the aromantic narrative for me is how, according to the story, Tutu's whole life is supposed to revolve around romantic love. She gives everything for her love until there is nothing left of her. Duck is simply fulfilling a role.

In the scene that struck me as the most aromantically coded Drosselmeyer tells Duck she "should" be in love with Mytho and want to marry him. She seems uncomfortable at this and looks away without responding. This leaves her feelings for Mytho up to interpretation, but personally I always read it as Duck is uncomfortable because she hasn't been thinking about marrying Mytho. She is unsure how to respond because she knows she is failing to perform her role as a Princess.

Drosselmeyer forces amatonormativity upon Duck and tries to reduce her whole role to her feelings for Mytho, expecting her to drop everything for him in a way that completely disregards her other important relationships. This is contrasted by how Duck's feelings for Mytho are so deeply tied to the fact that she became human for him. She is more upset at the prospect of returning to a duck and losing her friends and ability to dance than she is at losing Mytho's love.

I like taking the amatonormative narrative and twisting it to be an aromantic one. The story of Princess Tutu is about a girl who cannot confess her love in the "normal" way without completely losing herself. Duck works around this by finding unconventional ways to express love. She cannot confess a type of love she does not feel. And when Duck does find love it's an unconditional, no-pressure love that doesn't demand romance or reciprocation of her. She has stopped trying to perform relationships and is allowed to exist as herself. As a shoujo protagonist she is breaking the conventions of the genre by not "ending up" with anyone, but i find it a much more resonant ending than if she had ended up with her "Prince."

Hand holding , intertwining fingers delicately, lightly touching finger tips, playing with the hand of another, gripping a hand so tightly, they’re putting every goddam emotion into it, placing hand on the back of the other hand and interlocking fingers again , cross holding hands , holding hands so softly it’s like holding a feather, playfully engaging in a thumb war out of nowhere, holding hands, holding hands in every single goddam way, holding the hands of a lover, a friend, a enemy, someone you can’t get a single read on , but hold their hand anyways because it’s what you both need.

When will someone finally write a post-canon fic where Ling and Lan Fan actually grow closer together after he becomes Emperor because the Court is a den of snakes and they can only trust each other and Lan Fan becomes Ling's ghost advisor and rumours spread that to win the Emperor's favor you must first win over his Shadow?

Karlach and Wyll Friendship Headcanons

Karlach gives Wyll tips for horn care and upkeep, and helps him deal with the higher body temperature he has now that he's a devil.

Wyll gives Karlach reminders about things she may have forgotten about in the prime material plane. Like mosquitoes.

They sit around the fire at night and trade shitty gossip about That Bitch Mizora.

Once she can touch people safely again, Wyll is one of the first people Karlach hugs.

Wyll holds Karlach's hand a lot when she's able to as a confirmation that yeah we're making it out.

They braid each others' hair sometimes. It's about the vulnerability with each other after Everything.

Sometimes one of them tries to apologize to the other for the shit that happened in the past. And then the other says Do I Need To Fight You.

Anytime they see That Bitch Mizora Karlach stands in front of Wyll. That's HER fucked up little guy. Not Mizora's.

Wyll does a lot of reading late at night about hellfire and engines to try and find a way to help Karlach.

At some point Wyll says hey thinking about it. My dad is. Literally the Duke of Ravengard. I bet I could get you in contact with your old friends and family again. And Karlach gets to reunite with her people.

Karlach loves flowers-- all kinds of flowers --because they're soft and delicate and natural and such a part of the prime material plane. She keeps making Wyll kind of clunky flower crowns. He keeps wearing them.

I was going to scream about how I can't read fics with antagonistic Dream anymore because his character is just so badly written and once but then I started thinking about an au where Dream is an actual interesting character and I've come up with two Tommy-centric hero aus

Vigilante Tommy gets in a fight with hero Dream while on a patrol, asks about Dream's ring in an attempt to distract him. Dream, who loves his fiances so much and will absolutely take any chance to talk about them is stoked to stop the fight to show off his minecraft themed engagement ring and tell Tommy (and Tubbo, who demands to be put on speaker so he can ask Dream about where he got the ring) all about his soon to be husbands (The bench trio ends up getting invited to Dream's wedding, Tommy very proudly being the flower boy) (Featuring: Queer platonic bench trio and Tommy being a menace on the internet)

And a second, much angstier au

Standard vigilante Tommy villain sbi found family, heroes Sapnap and George being the main antagonists. They target the syndicate and anyone related to them in any way, fighting them in a harsh and brutal way that makes it clear they're "shooting" to kill. The two of them used to be in a trio with the hero DayDream, being know as a trio that was actually pretty good at descalation and taking down villains without too much damage to the villain or the space they're fighting in. That is, until DayDream suddenly stopped appearing publicly almost a month ago, George's and Sapnap's behavior changing completely since then. The reason why is a mystery to Tommy until later, when he meets Dream and discovers that the reason George and Sapnap are like this now is because Dream got badly injured when he intercepted a test biologic bomb Villain!Wilbur had thrown at a group of civilians on an attack almost a month ago, and he has been getting sicker and sicker since then, with their only hope of restoring his health being figuring out what the fuck was on that bomb. But even still, he might never recover.

I DONT GET BITCHES 🔥🔥🔥🔥 (I AM AROACE)

[undefbug]

I mean you literally answered your own question tbh. You're bitching about people enjoying romance because you don't. They do. That's the answer. You prefer them as friends, I prefer them rawdogging and getting married. Nobody is forcing you to see them as romantic.

that post was really just me not understanding why people ship so much because i forget people do romance things, wasn’t shitting on anyone shipping anyone and also i enjoy ships, because they’re silly and it’s not a big deal, i just don’t come up with my own ships. literally don’t give a shit about how other people see relationships, i was talking about my own experiences as being someone who doesn’t view relationships in the same way. maybe just don’t interact with my aspec posts if you’re going to get mad
