jsyk i will be atributing 14's new found physical and emotional tenderness to the doctors sadness over fumbling yaz so fucking hard

#13th doctor #thasmin #14th doctor #doctor who #yasmin khan #char.txt #one day things will stop being about thasmin...that day is not today #literally tho what else would inspire such a 180 from 13 to 14? 13 was so violently averse to any form of vulnerability #and in potd you can seeeee the regret in her face that she wasnt more open with yaz #and now smash cut to 14 saying he Loves donna! and he Loves wilf!! #and now kissing her knuckles and holding her hand to his hearts? the doctor said Im Gonna Try Honesty

Can’t believe the world is potentially two hours away from a canon blackbonnet sex scene in Our Flag Means Death. what a time we live in

#unless we’ve all been had. though this show is uniquely averse to messing with its fans #they don’t do queer fandom shows like they used to I tell you what #I mean holy shit #I still haven’t fully processed that them getting a 2nd season where they’re in love & get to kiss more than once is real #that we get to have a show that not only doesn’t queerbait but centers its queer relationships & puts great meaning & care behind them #I was on the frontlines of destiel back in the day it’s such a stark difference #I don’t even expect it to be more than like. a pan to the fireplace but still! #the queerbait is so over that they not only have the time to breakup get back together kiss multiple times but they’re fuckin too??????????? #insane to me just insane #ofmd #ofmd s2 #our flag means death #ofmd speculation #ofmd spoilers #spilling the Tea

Kiss Me in Komorebi+ 🌸

[Ep Fifteen] Amoosing Adventure!

These two had a fantastic time together! I think they spent the time learning a lot more about one another as people, which fostered a really fun and energetic atmosphere for the whole date!

And, at the very end of the date, Daniel finally got a successful Kiss Hands interaction with Ivor, so I’d say that’s some significant progress! 🥹 @anarchosimdicalist you truly created such a sweetheart!!

[ Part 2/2 ] 🌹

#ts4 #ts4 screenshots #ts4 gameplay #ts4 challenge #ts4 bachelor challenge #;kmik #sim: daniel #ivor korrapati by anarchosimdicalist #|| #oh mannn this was so sweet to pose 🥹 #i am so relieved that they finally got to a place where a simple Kiss interaction like that worked #ivor literally used to refuse them even when everything was going well!! #i took it as him being considerably touch-averse while his romance bar is low #which same bro #so it was so good to see them finally advance past that!! #they had a wonderful time together #and i think daniel feels very safe with himself around ivor 🥹 #we love a big cuddly scottish sweetheart #LOOK AT HOW CUTE THEY ARE IN THAT LAST PIC I SWEAR

once again thinking about kiss averse Jon using Vulcan kisses as an alternative among other things.

It's been a long day apart and jmart are happy to see each other and they both hold up both hands to touch fingers. they bump foreheads. They missed each other so much they just shove their noses into each other's cheeks as hard as possible. They go from fingertip touches to fully interlocked hands and jon gets flustered.

#ramblings with major #tma #i just love them okay #i like kiss at-least-semi-averse Jon he is special to me #and paired with martin retro king blackwood?? who is DEFINITELY a trekkie?? come ON #It's late and im just thinking about them

I feel like recently there's been a surge of 'I'm ace/aro and I love being intimate with my friends' which is great and all the power to you, genuinely.

But I feel like there's not enough talk about acearos who are sex and touch repulsed, who don't want to do any romantic or overly affectionate things, who don't want to hold hands or kiss their friends or tell people I love you.

Whether because of trauma or personal discomfort, some of us will never be intimate regardless of how deep the platonic affection is.

#asexual #aromantic #almost every post i see about being aroace seems to be sort of like 'yeah im ace/aro and i love kissing and having sex #without society pressuring me into a relationship' #thats not how everyone is though #the touch/sex repulsed/averse among us are important too

[aroaceconfessions]

I don't understand why thinking about fictional/theoretical kissing sounds so good but thinking about kissing someone real sounds so incredibly gross.

jing yuan and yanqing are giving zhongli and xiao if the latter’s canon relationship was Actually fanon’s made up father figure/adopted child dynamic

#idkkkkkkkkkkkkk who looks at zx and is like 'you know what. this is a healthy parent child relationship' #like girl by fitting them into father son boxes you are actively making their relationship imbalance Worse #if you do that and dont shy away from it i respect that but if you say dad/son makes their relationship more wholesome or whatever like WHY #now i wont deny shippers might do that too but i see the dad son version so much i think im just averse to it by default #also because i think father son makes people actively Try to make their relationship something that its not and it erases a bunch of subtlet #subtleties in it. it's the nuanced r/ship -> entirely unproblematic and flavorless r/ship that i hate #also the number of people who'll block if you ship zx. like damn thats crazy you guys really think theyre father son (fake)??? #at their peak they're like. 4000 year old guys who have too much history and repression and some weird entanglement of 'nah im bothering him #too much' and 'gotta protect him w my life' complexes. and then this devolves into theyre never gonna kiss until 3000 more years have passed #listen they just Contain Multitudes idc if you dont ship it just dont make it into dad and son and we will be so gucci #jing.yuan and yanqing are like different i think mostly bc yanqing is actually like a minor and jing yuan is also a normal ish person #plus the light cone and the abouts?? yeah this is an actual like adopted parent/child thing #also good or bad news i caved and am now playing hsr. the plan is to pull yanqing and then go on infinite hiatus in the game 👍 #JWKFLJWEK i dont think theres really any draws for me besides him. personally neutral on turn based combat and the open world isn't giving #the only saving grace i have rn is 1) ive gotten to the part where bron.seele is real and man theyre gay 2) trailblazer trio 3) tall female #mc 4) everyone has way better emoting abilities than genshin 5) su.shang's really cute <3 #the story doesnt really interest me though its like cool but not mindgrippingly interesting #tbf i think genshin is the same way storyline wise (at the beginning) but the difference is that turn based combat isnt really my thing LMAO #ramblings! #zhongxiao #if you want to filter it out ??

We would’ve seen Din kiss Grogu on his bald wrinkly head by now if Favreau and Filoni weren’t such bitch ass cowards

#Star Wars as a whole feels like it has such an aversion now to letting characters show actual emotion and affection #let people hug and kiss and have tears streaming down their face I’m begging you #the mandalorian #din djarin #grogu #star wars

Understand that this is coming from someone who is decidedly romance-averse and has been active in the aro & ace headcanon and fanwork sphere longer than many people have even been on tumblr, so I get it, the frustration with shipping culture is real, I have the text posts I've been harassed over to prove it.

But also. If you are so focused on the lens other fans will choose to apply to certain scenes that it totally poisons your ability to enjoy any close, affectionate interactions between two characters you otherwise like, you are.... also kind of falling prey to "This is your brain on amatonormativity" and I promise you there are other options.

Embrace ambiguity. Have fun with ace and aro headcanons on various parts of the spectrum or imagine characters having messy and complicated relationships with aspec identity. Interpret canon queerplatonically. Ignore the voices of people who insist the "only" way to make sense of an interaction is if two characters are involved romantically and instead do a cool high-five with the ones who like the ship but also like letting you do your thing and can respect someone else who loves the same relationship they do, just in a different flavor. Not only is it less exhausting, but it's decidedly more radical and relationship anarchist than saying "These two characters held hands, so I guess they're basically dating.... sigh"

#also like.... as a weary romance-averse aro in a queerplatonic relationship who already gets a lot of assumptions from allo folks #feels. kind of weird to see these takes from other aspec people and go 'ah ok so if you saw me and my qpp out walking around together' #'you would ALSO assume we were dating' #sometimes you want absolutely nothing to do with the idea of romance but like holding hands. or cuddling. or little forehead kisses #this is not only allowed but great (if it's your jam). embrace it and be free #aroblogging #aceblogging

i've seen just a handful of people hoping/suggesting chenford will kiss in the elevator but...i don't think i could stomach that kind of..strange backrooms-of-a-post-breakup situation. please tell me i'm not the only one. why does this kind of thing scare me. like can they hug and move on with the day. nothing that my heart wouldn't be able to handle please. no making out.

#my aversion to severely uncomfortable situations is apparent #and impulsively kissing your ex when emotions are running high is one of those for me #am i crazy #probably #or just an awkward asexual #first time i've prayed for them to not kiss #the rookie #chenford

[thebookworm0001]

Anyway Gale bg3 is demisexual and astarion bg3 is some flavor of aroace they’re ours now sorry not sorry

#Gale doesn’t even kiss you for the longest time - he’s building an emotional bond #his sex scene is less about sex and more about using physicality to express his emotions #astarion takes the whole game to be interested in sex with you for sex #he starts out using you for protection #then explicitly says he doesn’t want anyone to think of him in terms of sex #and has been sex averse for the last 200 years #it has been 200 odd years since he’s been actually sexually interested in someone #and if he’s ascended he’s back to using sex to manipulate #if he’s rejected the ritual he’s interested in sex for intimacy and outside of that appears to disassociate #and he’s definitely some flavor of aromantic #his romantic life lines up with his sex life - it’s been a tool for the last 200 years and you are the first person he’s had feelings for

Romance always seems better as like a vague concept than it does in practice. Like when I see it in practice it's like

... awkward? Kinda embarrassing? Idk??? Romance as a vague thought in my minds vs IRL romance is so different and strange. I have no problem with the vague concept of it existing but the moment that shit is in front of me in any form? eugh.

#aromantic #aro #aroace #romance repulsed #romance averse #romance mention #it fluctuates how much it bothers me but like #it being soome foggy vague thing usually is like “yeah ok that exists i think” #but the moment i see people kiss on screen or irl or act all lovey dovey it's like....eugh #like i dont feel like i should be there. that im intruding on something. that it's embarrassing to see this. #characters get shown to have a crush and it's like...dreadful because it's going to be such an embarrassing thing to watch #it can even get annoying because it's like 'can you do that somewhere else you're distracting me stop being weird'

[zehecatl]

people are so annoying about shipping Marcille with anyone other than Falin, like y'all, we can multiship it's fine

#ze.txt #i think marcille should kiss laois and chilchuck and idk i wouldn't be averse to her kissing senshi either #(i saw an annoying post dissing laois/marcille by calling falin/marcille 'better food' and acting like shipping them is settling) #(and it's like. we can enjoy more than one thing!! and also just bc YOU like it doesn't mean everyone else will like it too!!!) #(stop being so fucking rude!)

[semisolidmind]

I’ve been fighting the urge to dive into LMK and JTTW but now that you’re drawing stuff for it… You might be my breaking point 😭

yes, YES

come closssssser....step into the abysssssss....we have what you seek...we have the titsssssss

#but fr tho its been pretty fun so far #theres a lot you can do with the source material #and ive been kinda embracing the oc x canon stuff #i was never averse to it but if i ship a character with another character in their canon i tend not to make ocs to ship with them #that and im just not a selfshipper #lemme make a fictional lil guy to kiss that other fictional lil guy #reader and y/n are characters to me

[rowan-e-ravenwood]

I'VE DONE IT AGAIN.

#riddlebird #not even gonna put the 'buddy don't look' tag on this bc i'm genuinely so clueless about romance that if i write it it's indistinguishable #from if i was writing about a qpr #and like. there's no kissing or anything #so um. yeah #even some of my romance-averse buds can enjoy this! #enjoy this one boys

[decidentia]

Adding an inconsequential, undeveloped character from the 2001 horror flop Thir13en Ghosts? More likely than you think.

#the torn prince aka royce clayton is now available as a request only muse #james dean wannabe and rising baseball star of the 1950s #turned malevolent spirit after he died horrifically in a drag race #i may never do anything with him but he's there for anyone who wants him #i have also been debating adding vagatha from hazbin #but i know a lot of people are averse to that fandom and that she'd come with a lot of highly triggering themes #i am Thinking™ #anyway i hope you're all having a good tuesday! #i have my kids' parent-teacher meetings #and some admin and housework to do #but outside of that i hope to send more of those spicy asks #i'm blowing you all kisses and fighting your demons 💕 #◈ — ooc; saddest little baby in the room
