well personally i think everyone should read performance. it should become a classic and i think everyone, regardless of how much they know about enstars, can enjoy it. go read performance now

#i also think not enough people talk abt wthk but thats another can of worms #(i don't mean this in a romantic way i don't ship them) #(in fact i think its better to see them as distinctly Something Else other than romantic #but i feel this way abt many enstars relationships thats a thing of mine la la) #i think their dynamic and history together says a lot about both of them #and understanding it properly can in turn help you understand more clearly the events of ! main story #so . go read performance #enstars #mar's midnight rambles #(like it's been an ongoing theme of theirs that they can't quite be together (shown in this story too) theyre the doomed pair) #(i can't imagine them having . a traditional romantic relationship at all the impossibility Is their thing) #(at the same time wataru considers romeo and juliet to have a happy ending so that says a lot abt wthk too)

I think i figured out why i adore Alhaitham and Kaveh so much as a couple and i'm going to make this everyone elses problem now. Also i am so delusional because none of this is even close to canon but i do not care. Fight me /lh

This is going to be so cringe i am. So sorry(lie) Please don't expect a deep analysis of their relationship. I am simply a little guy with a single braincell.

Alhaitham and Kaveh's relationship is so clearly queerplatonic to me. It's so obvious.

They don't love each other like other people do. Or at all really. Sure there's teasing touches and blushing cheeks and affection but it all goes so much deeper than that. They bicker, argue and fight, they lock each other out of the house, take and hide the other's belongings to be petty. Most times they can't stay in the same room for too long or pencils and papers break and tear from sheer frustration. They bite and claw into each other's skin with their words and actions. But what they never do is tear into each other's heart.

They have danced this dance for so long, they know exactly which words dig a little too far, which petty action is a bit too much. Neither of them would ever step that far on purpose. There's no point in mindlessly bringing pain into their shared space.

Being complete opposites keeps them on their toes, keeps their mind sharp. One has what the other lacks. Alhaitham cooling down Kaveh's strong emotions and Kaveh helping Alhaitham see a perspective he thought useless. Even if they'll never fully understand each other's passions and views - they don't need to. They are their own individual people after all.

And that is not to say they complete each other because they don't. Both of them would be able to live without the other. They don't need each other but they choose to be together again and again because that is what they want. Even on days where they hate each other more than anything, they still choose to come back together. There's no denying Kaveh and Alhaitham is better than Kaveh and Alhaitham.

And if you spend enough time around them you will be able to see the huge amount of respect, adoration and trust they have for each other.

For them, one look is enough to know. Their understanding of each other reaches so deep, the tilt of a head, the raise of a single eyebrow, the narrowing of eyes, it conveys more than a thousand words ever could. They invented their own language, hiding a different meaning under their words, meant to be understood only between them.

And if it comes down to it, both Alhaitham and Kaveh trust the other to have their back, no matter what. They don't entrust their hearts to the other, but their lives instead.

There's rarely (if ever) romantic dinners, no picnic under the stars, no fun shopping trips. Instead there's quietly working on opposite sides of the same room, taking a break under the stars while carrying the other home because he's too drunk to walk, meeting in the kitchen at 3am to get some coffee and sit in peaceful silence.

And like i said, it's not like there's no affection. They cuddle and kiss and cling to each other. They give each other gifts and bring coffee when work takes longer than usual. Nothing feels nicer than falling asleep and waking up with the other in their arms.

They are so used to being together that it's difficult to imagine it being otherwise. Not impossible but definitely much worse. So they stay, time and time again. It makes them both better in many ways.

They don't love each other, they aren't in love with each other. Their presence is engraved into the other's soul, leaving a mark so deep, so special, that a word like love - so shackled to certain expectations, feelings and traditions - could never get close to describing what they choose to have between them.

So yea - queerplatonic Kavetham is my favourite thing in the world (especially as a romance loving aromantic). It's fine if ppl don't agree with me of course! This is what my brain has molded their relationship into. Kaveh's and Alhaitham's release better not destroy my little fantasy>:( /lh

🍨 - What are expectations your muse has had about love that either was false or impossible to live up to?

The biggest one is the idea that Sonia can find, start a relationship with, and marry a 'normal' person and have their transition to royal life and duties with a relatively seamless transition. She is pretty adamant on carrying on with relationships outside of the aristocracy and upper classes, to the point that a muse being part of that social status is a turn-off for her. Mostly, as she's used to interacting with very stuck-up, snobbish, and wealth and image-focused people with little to no regard for anyone else outside of themselves and their social circles. Aristocrats who don't care for the people they are supposed to represent and serve? Thanks, Sonia hates it.

However, it's not until she's older/closer to marrying age that she's forced to take into account that, in spite of all the personality flaws and mismatched values she often sees in fellow members of the upper class, she can't deny that they are well prepared for royal life. More often than not, they've been raised with the right manners, right interests and hobbies, know the right people, and have been pretty much preparing for a life of being in the spotlight, full of social obligations and devotion to familial tradition. They have no problem leaving their families, careers, etc. behind in favor of joining the Novoselic Royal Family: they see and understand the tradition and prestige that being royal offers, and respect it highly (not always for the right reasons, but they still respect it).

Contrast that to 'normal' people who have worked hard for an education or a career, or are close to their families, or just aren't prepared to uproot their entire life and take on not only Sonia as a partner but an entire job of royal duties and expectations? Even if her intended partner may have similar values and interests, they have to become part of the Royal Family and all of its needs and expectations as well. And having that be a seamless transition with little to no problems? Definitely the biggest false conception Sonia has ever had about love and relationships.

tl;dr - Sonia is not only not easy to date, but harder to be committed to in a relationship long-term. I hope your muse likes giant royal weddings, should they intend to marry her.

🌸 - What's their idea of a perfect date?

Answered here!

🌹 - If asked to define love what would your muse say?

Sonia would probably say love is when someone sees you for everything you are and loves you, unconditionally and wholly, as you are. It's not about appearances or talents or other things that can fade: it's about allowing someone else to see the good and the bad and the barest depths of your soul and they've decided they love, and want, it all.

An older Sonia would probably include something about disagreements can and will happen, but at the end of the day, if you are happy and cannot imagine a life without them by your side, that's love.

💓 - What are some signs your muse has fallen for someone?

This is a difficult question, actually! Sonia isn't the type of muse to immediately change her words or actions based on a crush or something deeper. She's a generally cheerful, eager, and happy muse (post-despair aside because uh...yeah). She has no trouble giving hugs to her closest friends, supporting them in their endeavors, and showing hints of her embarrassment when she gets something wrong or awkward. She's a warm, affectionate person in both her words and actions, and those can often be misconstrued for love. Sonia is excellent at confusing people where this is concerned, unfortunately.

Generally, the best sign is to just ask her, privately, point-blank in a way she can't confuse or misinterpret what's being questioned. But barring that:

If Sonia is suddenly very concerned about her physical appearance in front of someone? Mostly in the sense of being seen as sloppy/rumpled/far too comfortable/in the middle of a skincare routine/sick with a cold and her crush shows up? PANIC. She does not want them to see her not at her best.

Rearranging her schedule for Quality Time, or the best way Sonia can interpret Quality Time. Moving meetings and other events to different days or times, just to spend that time with someone else (bonus: they're physically ill or simply lonely and/or sad) and fully focus on them? Going out of her way to frequently visit someone at their workplace for no real benefit of her own (hi, convenience store worker Ryuji/ @electricea!)? Yeah. Sonia definitely has feelings that go beyond platonic at that point: she's reluctant to put off important work or hobbies, but if it's to spend time with someone she loves? She won't hesitate.

If she's making out with/snogging/having sex with someone by her own free will. Sonia does not go past platonic affection with someone she does not care for. Her time as a Remnant aside, she doesn't hook up with people for the sake of sex and sex alone. She only shows that level of physical affection for someone she truly cares for.

💌 - How would they confess to their love interest? Would they wait on a confession?

By past experiences, it's clearly attacking her love interest with her mouth. Whether it's by "desperation to throw off the paparazzi" (and subsequently give @cadcnce all the more reason to run far, far away from Sonia. And feelings.), or "I've been in love with you for years and it's my 18th birthday and screw it I'm not waiting anymore" (a Gundham who is no longer active unfortunately!) or "hey I'm injured in this hospital bed but in order to keep you from marrying someone the Future Foundation thinks is suitable I'm going to do it instead because. Um. I think I love you but please never find out I shot you in the shoulder" (hi @cantillat in post-despair Fate/DR verse), they all came to fruition with Sonia being unable to hold back her physical affections for someone.

She doesn't really do a composed, historical drama-approved love confession all that often on this blog. And it's even rarer for her to be confessed to (I know @dxfiedfxte's Minato did this, but I'm trying to think if anyone else has? I think Shirou counts here too). It's usually more messy, lack of composure, acting purely on emotion and need vs. a detailed speech of any sort.

That said, many plotted ships never even make it to the confession stage on this blog. Blame the slow-burn and the fact that, unless it's direct, romantic interest will fly over Sonia's head. She's great at seeing it towards other people: horrible about seeing it when it's directed at her.

[celpheres]

Yes gay erasure is real, yes is fucking annoying and yes fuck every single franchise that lured us in and took away our representation at the last minute (Disney I'm looking at you) but i felt that good omens wasn't erasure or queerbating and this is not me picking a fight with you im interested in what you think, but Aziraphale and Crowley are not human, they are two supernatural entities, they do not work as we do, they dont think like we do, is it really that impossible that they love differently? Things like gender, sexuality, relationships and romantic attraction are human concepts, they are not humans (sure they pass as men because they have to blend in with humanity it's not like that can say they are angel or demon and if being a woman is challenging now i can't even imagine how it was back then ) , their relationship cannot be held with the same standard as ours, i mean sure it's fun and everything to fantasize in fanfiction but at the end of the day we don't even know If angels or demons do relationships you know? Maybe for them is a thing only for humans as for us mating dances are just for animals. But that leads me to my other point, they love each other, both Michael Sheen and Neil Gaiman have said that yes , they do love each other, good omens is a love story. Love comes in many ways and it's manifested in many more, it's kinda offensive to see that people need to touch or to be intimate or do romantic gestures for their love to be validated no one can invalidate your love because it doesn't matches their, people would always tell me that i didn't love my partners because of the lack of physical affection and romantic gestures and it always made me feel so frustrated and insulted because I did love them, i loved them so much but i had no way to " prove it" in front of them. I'm an aromantic bisexual, erasure is something I'm very familiar with. On one side all the bi erasure, people saying that you are just confused, that you are "on your way to being fully gay" or whatever that means or saying that you are just joining the trend and in a few years you will grow out of it, people saying that you are just an straight that wants "attention " it's insulting, it's condescending and i hate it. And i also hate when in media they do all their stupid show just so at the end they can say nah you thought lmao they are just friends fuck that but at the same time I'm aromantic, i love differently. I don't experience romantic attraction, yet i still love people, i love them so much and that's why it makes me so angry when people refuse to acknowledge a relationship or the love of two people just because it doesn't matches their alloromantic concept of love and it makes me sick. And no, the "right person" won't change my ability to feel romantic attraction, they will accept just the way I am. These two parts of me are often kinda conflicted when consuming media because on one side fuck you and your erasure if they were different sex they would have definitely kissed there and on the other side fuck you and your erasure that don't need to do anything to " prove" their love. To me both arguments can contradict each other and coexist at the same time i mean they are both problems that affect real people saying is more valid than the other it's kinda stupid, it's not a competition after all .

(I have no nerves for a discourse, so if anyone wants to add something, do it only if you have to.)

About the “they’re not humans” part: The entire point of the story is that they turn more and more human over time. They get used to human traditions and human understandings of things and associate themselves with it more and more. So this is not really a reason to me.

It is true what you say about love. Romantic love is not the only love wich exists, I love many people without loving them romantically. And it’s just as true what you say about asexual relationships.

And you know, it works the other way around too. Kissing / physical affection can exist without romantic relationships, why does nobody talk about that? They don’t need to be in love to hug or kiss.

The problem is not the headcanons regarding them being aro/ace.

But many (not all) people act like their relationship needs to be aro/ace to be special. They have to be a nonbinary couple to be special. Because allo gay couples aren’t special and are boring. A kiss would’ve been cringe. More touching would’ve been boring. Because it would be “NoT sPeCiAl” if they kissed or touched.

This is homophobic, and completely tunnel-sighted. Every relationship is special, every relationship is unique. No matter how much physical affection you share or don’t share.

They are an earthly angel and demon, come on. It is a special relationship in any way.

Also, why is the fandom assuming that Mr. Shadwell and Madame Tracy are in a romantic relationship? Have they ever mentioned being in love? Or what about the Them? They clearly love each other in a non-romantic way. Why would it be aro/ace erasure to show a gay couple of an angel and demon in addition? Isn’t the entire point that it shouldn’t be allowed that they’re showing affection to each other?

My point is, not all of the people who headcanon them as aro/ace are being problematic. But acting like homosexuality doesn’t exist and is something boring and not as special as an ace or nonbinary couple is not okay. They’re all special. They should all have representation. But not trough a couple wich already implements two males (as mentioned countless times in the script), who don’t come too close to each other because of a safety measure.
