If I had a nickle every time there was a morally ambiguous grey haired man who always wears a business suit with a red tie and has an affinity for the Packers Football team in a kids cartoon I'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened twice.

On one hand the fact that both luffy and sanji trusted pudding as an ally potentially speaks more about the reality of puddings self and feelings BUT the idea that luffy completely fell for pudding because she started sweet talking about his cook and promised to bring sanji back to them is so funny. pudding started gushing about how cool and cute and charming sanji is and how she is kinda in love with him and luffy went 'omgggggg she gets me AND sanji no way is she lying :D'

Edwin's voice when he says "If you need to talk about your FAther????" and Charles's "OH GOD NO" response, Of COURSE this is the episode which ends with them both going "You know can talk to me about anything", staring intently into each other's eyes, AND THEN NOT TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING, I am emotionally devastated and also wildly entertained

“I don’t want it to end...”

Thinking yet again about Edward Teach who can’t sit quietly with his own thoughts while fishing with Fang but sits quietly with his dying friend and listens to him in his last moments. Sure, there’s plenty of stuff that he could have said, but his attention was all Izzy wanted in that moment.

         ||. it’s 3am and all i can freakin think about is that any person who wants to romance this idiot is gonna have to deal with whatever the equivalent of an emotional one-night-stand is (we’re not here for the actual thing in this house) bc he’s a dumb teenager who’s too independent to consider yknow maybe a proper commitment to someone doesn’t actually mean ... getting shackled down

THE OVERWHELMING DESIRE TO KISS; ACCEPTING  @nihted​ requested  8: a  kiss  in  secret  /  a  forbidden  kiss.

He cradled her face, so gentle for a warrior's hands. Gentler still were is his lips against hers, so adoring it made her heart ache. Her own hands tangled into his hair, urging him closer to her. Neither had any intention of parting, and in truth she wished they never had to. It was almost cruel how a simple sound, the slam of a door and footsteps in the distance hall, could bring this world of their own crashing down around them.   

Adelaide’s heart thundered in her ears, so loud she could scarcely hear anything else. The steps abated, silence creeping in like a chill between them, the only sound their sobering breaths. This was a sign, the both knew. To stop now, return to where they were supposed to be. Neither of them moved, doe brown eyes meeting the deepest blue as they considered the reality they had been cruelly awoken to.   

Unable to bear the space between them any longer she pulled him to her, needing his lips on hers again. She needed it like air, the brief time they had together in these secluded halls the only time she felt like she could breathe. The only time she felt truly alive. Not with all the courtiers or her husband, but in these brief stolen moments with him.   

“Please.” Her voice came breathless, a needy sound against his lips. She asked for too much and she knew it. They did not have the privilege of time and yet she knew Edric would give her more if he asked. It was selfish, a risk that could cost them both their lives if they were found- and yet she would risk it for just a few more moments with him. “I need you, just a little longer... ”

Details That Convey Intimacy

Developing fictional relationships that feel authentic takes more than dialogue and grand gestures. Every detail below can be used to show platonic, familial, agape, or romantic love depending on context.

cooking a meal for someone, bringing them food, or spontaneously sharing a snack

sharing body heat/warming someone with outerwear like jackets and scarves

fanning them with something if overheated

getting a cold/hot drink for them

offering to carry something, whether it's heavy or just a jacket, to lighten someone's load or free up their hands

more below the click!

changing the subject of a group conversation that will be personally discomforting to someone in the group

making sure to include someone in a group conversation, especially if it's a topic they have special knowledge of

waiting for someone to catch up when the rest of the group has walked ahead

remembering preferences/allergies ahead of time when preparing/ordering food

planning trips, whether in a pair or as a group, that provide something positive for every individual to enjoy

procuring personal healthcare items like sunscreen, moisturizer, lip balm, pain relievers, or a snack and keeping them on hand for that friend who frequently needs them

making room for someone in a crowded vehicle or on public transit

making room for someone under an awning or in another limited space to help them avoid bad weather

warning or wordlessly covering for someone with a wardrobe/cosmetic malfunction

remembering a small luxury someone mentioned they enjoy, and getting it for them the next time it's convenient

running an errand for someone to make their day easier ('importance of errand : depth of relationship' ratio should be explored)

escorting someone to safety in a sudden unsettling event

escorting someone who is drunk, sick, infirm, injured, or emotionally compromised

asking if light, noise, or other sensory factors are bothering someone and taking steps to make them more comfortable

getting gag gifts for someone to show you reciprocate their sense of humor or quirky self-expression (not everyone does this, not everyone appreciates it, and some people predominantly express love through humor and gag gifts; works well with some characters more than others)

holding someone's hand or arm as reassurance, especially when they are afraid*

using their body to block someone from wind, rain, or heat

picking up a dropped item, or carrying a train or other dragging garment for someone else

returning a recognizable possession to someone who may have lost it

This is an inexhaustible list as humans have many ways of showing love for each other. If you are writing spec fic with non-human characters, you can play with variations on these by remembering three core values the "lover" has to consider:

physical comfort of others

emotional comfort of others

social reputation of others

I'd add "sensory comfort" though I think it's tied to physical and emotional comfort.

Please do not try and force any of these into the mold of the misogyny-based "Love Language" trend. Human emotions and expressions of love are diverse and endless.

*While hand holding can be construed as romantic, in reality it varies. Some cultures do not see this as romantic, and some individuals only mean it as a sign of support or compassion. Same goes for long embraces and kissing, both can be done platonically and of course naturally between close family members or friends.

But be careful not to get lost in the fantasy...sometimes Neptune can blur the lines between reality and illusion.

Venus Conjunct Saturn in Synastry: Venus conjunct Saturn brings a lot of maturity and commitment to a relationship. This is the “ride or die” aspect where love feels solid and long-lasting. It’s not the light, fluffy kind of romance. it’s serious, with lessons to be learned. You might feel like you’ve been brought together to work through karma, but the bond can be incredibly stable if you’re willing to put in the effort.

Moon Trine Neptune in Synastry: When the Moon trines Neptune in synastry, there’s a sense of emotional and spiritual connection that feels almost otherworldly. You may feel like you’ve met your soulmate or that this person understands you on a deeply intuitive level. It’s a soft, flowing kind of love that brings a sense of peace and emotional healing.

Mars Conjunct Pluto in the Composite Chart: When Mars and Pluto come together in a composite chart, the relationship feels intense, transformative, and possibly a little dangerous. This is the type of bond that can change you deeply, for better or worse. The passion is undeniable, but it can also bring up power struggles and a need to constantly transform through conflict.

Venus Opposite Uranus in Synastry: Venus opposite Uranus creates a whirlwind romance that’s full of excitement, but also instability. This is the kind of connection where things can feel electric, but also like they could fall apart just as quickly. There’s a rebellious quality to the relationship—you might be drawn to each other because of how different or unconventional your love feels.

Sun Square Moon in the Composite Chart: In a composite chart, this aspect creates tension between your identities and emotional needs. There’s a desire to connect, but it can feel like you’re always out of sync. One person’s emotional needs (Moon) often don’t align with how the other expresses themselves (Sun), which can lead to frustration, but also growth if you learn to meet each other halfway.

Mars Square Pluto in Synastry: Mars square Pluto in synastry can feel like you're in a rollercoaster relationship. There’s incredible sexual chemistry, but it comes with intense power dynamics. You might find yourself getting into fights or feeling like there’s always a battle for control. The attraction is hot and heavy, but the emotions run deep and dark.

Moon Conjunct Venus in Synastry: This is one of the most romantic aspects in synastry. The Moon person feels emotionally safe with the Venus person, and Venus loves how nurturing and comforting the Moon feels. Together, there’s a vibe of deep affection, tenderness, and care. It’s the kind of connection where you just want to cuddle and take care of each other.

Venus Trine Mars in the Composite Chart: In a composite chart, Venus trine Mars creates an effortless balance between affection and passion. You two just get each other when it comes to love and intimacy. There’s a beautiful harmony between how you both express love and desire, making this a relationship where the chemistry feels right and doesn’t require much work.

Moon Opposite Mars in Synastry: When the Moon and Mars are in opposition, the emotional (Moon) and physical (Mars) sides of the relationship can clash in spicy ways. There’s a lot of passion here, but it might also lead to emotional outbursts or frustration when one partner’s needs aren’t met. You’re either fighting or passionately making up—there’s no in-between honestly...

Venus Square Pluto in Synastry: a full-on obsession. The Pluto person brings intense emotional depth to the connection, while the Venus person feels swept up in the intensity. There's a magnetic pull that makes you crave each other, but be careful: this aspect can easily swing into power struggles, jealousy, and possessiveness if you're not careful.

Sun Conjunct Moon in Synastry: When the Sun and Moon align, it’s a cosmic “I see you and you see me” moment. The Sun person feels recognized for who they truly are, and the Moon person feels emotionally safe. Together, there’s a deep sense of comfort, warmth, and emotional connection that makes this relationship feel natural, like you’ve known each other forever.

Mars Conjunct Venus in Synastry: This is the classic "can't keep my fucking hands off you" aspect. When someone's Mars touches another's Venus, it creates an almost magnetic physical attraction. The Mars person is the pursuer, while the Venus person feels irresistibly desired. It’s sexual tension in its most sexiest form in my opinion, and when you’re together, it feels like there’s always a spark between you.

Pluto Conjunct Mars in Synastry: Pluto conjunct Mars is the ultimate battle for control in the bedroom—and outside of it. The sexual energy here is insane, but it’s not just about attraction; it’s about power. The Pluto person wants to possess and transform, while the Mars person pushes for action and excitement. This aspect can bring wild, mind-blowing sex, but also explosive arguments and power struggles that can burn everything down if unchecked.

Venus Opposite Pluto in Synastry: Love-hate, but can’t let go. Venus opposite Pluto brings intense desire and a deep emotional connection, but it often feels like you’re stuck in a cycle of obsession and power games. You want each other so bad it hurts, but the tension is constant. This aspect is like living on a rollercoaster—you’re either at the highest highs or the lowest lows. It’s hard to walk away, even when things get toxic, because the attraction feels fated.

Mars Square Uranus in Synastry: Unpredictable attraction. Mars square Uranus is the definition of "expect the unexpected" in relationships. The chemistry between you two is electric, but it’s also unstable. The attraction can be instant, and the sex? Explosive. But don’t expect consistency—there’s always a risk that things will crash just as quickly as they heat up. This connection thrives on adrenaline, so if you’re into sudden breakups and makeups, this is your jam.

Pluto Conjunct Moon in Synastry: Pluto conjunct Moon is where things get dark and intense emotionally. The Pluto person digs deep into the Moon person’s subconscious, exposing all their fears, insecurities, and hidden desires. The emotional connection is powerful and can feel transformative, but there’s also a risk of emotional manipulation or control. It’s like living in a psychological thriller—there’s no escape, but you don’t want to leave either.

Venus Square Mars in Synastry: Venus square Mars creates so much sexual chemistry, but it often comes with frustration. The Venus person might feel unappreciated or overwhelmed by Mars’ direct advances, while Mars can get frustrated with Venus’ need for romance or tenderness. It’s a push-pull dynamic where attraction is always there, but so is the tension. This aspect can lead to incredible sex, but you might fight just as passionately.

Mars Conjunct Uranus in Synastry: Mars conjunct Uranus is all about breaking the rules in the bedroom and maybe even outside of it. This aspect brings a lot of excitement, spontaneity, and experimentation to the relationship. You two probably surprise each other all the time, but there’s a constant restlessness here. It’s great for keeping things exciting, but don’t expect stability its like you might go from making love one minute to fighting the next.

Moon Square Pluto in Synastry: Moon square Pluto can bring power struggles to the surface, especially on an emotional level. The Moon person might feel emotionally vulnerable or manipulated by Pluto’s intense need for control. Meanwhile, Pluto might feel that Moon is too sensitive or tries to evade the transformation that Pluto demands. The emotional connection is intense, but it can quickly become toxic if either person abuses their emotional power.

Moon Opposite Venus in Synastry: Moon opposite Venus creates a sweet attraction where both partners feel drawn to each other emotionally and romantically. However, their needs might not align perfectly. The Moon person craves emotional connection, while the Venus person may focus more on the aesthetic or sensual aspects of love. This can create misunderstandings about what each partner truly wants or needs, but the attraction remains strong.
