Writing thrupples with a 'hinge', from someone who falls asleep in the middle every night.

A hinge thrupple is where two people are dating the same person, but not one another. So, not a triangle.

I don't know any thrupples with a childish Jacob-Edward rivalry over the 3rd person (annoying, overplayed)

I don't know any always lovey-dovey thrupples where the two suitors don't do anything outside constantly showering their 3rd with affection (honestly a bit creepy to me)

I'm bi/pan and nonbinary/fluid. My partners are a big burly cis dude and a tall snarky androgynous lesbian, they're not at all attracted to one another. Sexuality/gender plays a big part in dynamics and what I'm called (one calls me Wife and the other calls me Boyfriend).

Many poly peeps set out with intention to have multiple partners, my situation happened accidentally with some help from my autism. Basically I fell in love with two people like the movies but instead of drama I had an honest conversation and they both agreed to try it out. 🤷

I call both my partners 'babe' which in hindsight maybe I should've used 'hun' for one of them, but it's also so cute when I say babe and have two people turn to me. ❤️ They do have some unique, less appropriate pet names tho.

So so so much communication is needed to make sure you're on the same page as your partners. Google calendar helps, as do chore charts. I have 2 date nights a week, one for each partner. Holiday plans are discussed months ahead of time.

Relationships develop at different speeds! One partner may be ready for a milestone a month in, a different partner may be ready for the same milestone in 4 years.

So many perks! Splitting bills, splitting chores, coordinating when emergencies happen, and VOTING! With 3, the discourse for deciding anything from what to eat to what color to paint a room is SO much quicker.

I think the biggest difficulty was getting over my fear that I was doing something wrong, that I was selfishly drawing 2 people into something that would end in heartbreak. I was also afraid my partners wouldn't get along. 😵‍💫

Minor difficulties include deciding who to take for events that are +1 only, remembering who we've come out to, and getting crushed in the middle of the night when both partners roll towards the center of the bed where I sleep. 🪦

I can only be legally married to 1 partner where I live, but my other partner hates the idea of doing joint taxes so 😂 when we have a wedding one day, we're going to get legal permissions to, say, visit me in the hospital when I'm dying and call it good.

Yes, I can have another wedding and it will be just as beautiful and symbolic as the one that included legal paperwork.

Only two people can be on a marriage certificate, but three people can be on a mortgage! We've jointly owned a house for almost a year and a half and it's been so much work but so nice to have our privacy.

My partners get jealous of one another, that's normal. They know to communicate that feeling with me so I can give them some 1 on 1 time or special attention.

If me and one of my partners are struggling in our relationship, I DONT vent to my other partner and just give a basic 'I'm working through something with X right now'. I know too many polycules that have become a drama mosh-pit. 😓

My partners can be friends, or lovers, or simple acquaintances but THEY decide that and I don't push them to do anything except communicate when needed. My partners are introverts and it's taken years for them to build up their platonic relationship lol

Yes, I do occasionally get double-teamed in sexy ways (less than you'd think). 90% of the double-teaming I get is both of them calling me short or agreeing that I'm cute when I'm angy about trivial things, though. 😾

My partners now consider each other metamores, friends, and team-mates. My lesbian partner calls my male partner their 'husband in-law' sometimes, particularly when they want something from him.

Sometimes my partners bicker and I think it's cute bc it means they've become very comfortable with each other. If they have an actual issue I just encourage them to talk about it/I don't try to fix it for them.

We generally live a comfy, laid-back life and do all the mundane things you'd expect of mid-twenties to early-thirties folk- raising two dogs, fixing the sink, caving and ordering taco bell, forgetting to make that appointment, griping about the economy, bringing home plants, watching birds fight over the bird feeder, and sleeping in on the weekends. We just do it with 3. ☘️

Extra note: Polygamy is a term used in religious and male-centric plural partner situations. We use polyamory, polyfidelity, harem (jokingly), and thrupple to describe ourselves. Maybe some use polygamy and like it, but where we live (Utah) the term is generally reserved for fundentalist mormons.

There's probably a lot more to say, so maybe this is just a part 1. Feel free to ask me questions or comment with your own hinge experience (or tell me about your thrupple ocs)!

I self ship with Shachi and Penguin 🫣 theyve got one brain cell they share and now they can share me 🥰 much to Law’s extreme disappointment. Not because he disapproves, they’re just idiots already and he knows until we get together they’re gonna be even stupider than he usually has to deal with *sigh* poor Law 😂

BUT ALSO I love you thank you for sharing all the time such wonderful work, you are a delight

And Law's woes grow xD (I kid, I kid), but also - yes Shachi and Penguin are very easy to end up in a poly-relationship with. They're similar while being different enough - I think anyway. I know there's not a TON on them canonically, but I love seeing everyone's head canons about them (I have my own, of course, and I'm sure they'll change and develop over time.)

(Kid and Killer are easy to do the poly thing with too, and probably for similar reasons honestly >.> )

But I love this! \lol/

And thank you for the compliment -^_^- ❤️

Tell me about your self-ships!

Is that all ur art (like in the header and icon)? Wow it's so pretty. Ur blog is pretty. I like TRR too. Did z chose Liam or which LI exactly? What r ur Top 10 fave choices books? Just saw u currently read Nightbound before TRH and TRF. Are u reading it for the first time? If yes, I tell u it's good. Underrated, but good. It also has some royally beautiful elements near Chapter 9 or 10. i do not want to spoiler. but I think u will like it. enjoy. very sad it didn't get a second book but if u ever need more of that book, there r good fanfic writers on #nightbound in the #playchoices fandom or when u research or ask in the fandom for good nik and cal fics recommends. & nightbound continuation sequel project is happening on this tumblr blog: @nightboundfanfiction if interested. u can play Nightbound 2 like a real Choices game for free. Choices fans r creating sequels of those books which deserved better like nightbound, distantshores, etc. and more....

and i agree. I like both, nik and cal too. It is so hard to decide between them, i want both

Hi Anon! Thank you so much, I'm glad you think my blog is pretty! ❤️ I romanced Liam. And so far I've only managed to properly read through TRR (1-3) and TRH 1 so now I'm doing NB and they're both at the top. I love TRR but NB is slowly topping it. (Might be my obsession in supernatural stuff that tickles me while reading it haha) thanks for all the recommendations! I'm gonna make sure to check them out!

Normally I'm the sort to not be torn on who I'd go for but yeah I've been making sure there's moments chosen for both Nik and Cal throughout the playthrough lol. Thank god I'm a serial Canon disrespecter that I decided to make it poly lmao. It's nice to meet you Anon, thanks for the ask!❤️

Oh yes, it shows. I wasn't a big fan of those two as a couple but your fic changed that for me, they're just perfect for each other and then you made it better adding reader in the middle. When reading your poly headcanons I felt extra spoiled and loved, did I say EXTRA spoiled? I like that feeling ehe~

In your opinion, what other poly combos could be good? I'd love to be in the middle of a Kazuha and Ayato sandwich, because you know, Kazu is a literal angel and Ayato... Well, that man is the devil with a pretty face, I like it, more now after knowing a little bit of the connection between kamisato and kaedehara clans.

I hope you don't mind me sending asks 🙈

Ohh I love the fact that you decided to chat with me ❤️💋 please, always feel free to come by!

Tbh, Zhongchi is my fav ship. My ultimate weakness and guilty pleasure. I could fantasise about them and their dynamics for hours. Adding reader? Even more possibilities and prime comedy material. Not to mention *ahem* smut *ahem*

Other pairings

Well I was thinking about Thomato lol 😂 Ayato and Thoma give me so many ideas. I like imagining Thoma as actually the bulkier one between these two, I also think he could top Ayato, or at least Ayato would order Thoma to fuck him lol u know, like Thoma would do anything to please his lord so... He will be a good puppy and he will fuck his master till he can't walk nor think straight. 🥴

For Kazuha, I actually love thinking about him and Scara 😳💖 these two are such an amazing ship. Kazuha being all calm and suave, flustering the shit out of Scara who gets angy and frustrated. I bet all my money Kazuha would top him. Lol Scara can only dream. 😏😏😏 That platinum blonde is more cunning and sly than one could think. Appearances are really deceiving.

Love you so much ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
