#...Should I tag this as 'Which Partner'?

[redysetdare]

enough stories about how someone learns to truely be happy through love. i want a story where someone is desperately seeking out love thinking it's the only way to be happy only for them to learn by the end that happiness is what they make of it and they don't need love at all to make it.

#aro #aromantic #ace #asexual #aroace #loveless aro #loveless #non-partnering #nonpartnering #non partnering #nonamorous #aplatonic #enough of amatonormative tropes in media!!! enough 'you're miserable without love' stories!!! #less “you're too focused on ambitions to make you happy that you dont let yourself fall in love” #more “you're too focused on finding love to make you happy that you wont let yourself live” #more “there is so much more to life than love and so much more that can bring your happiness if you just let yourself experience it.” #maybe I should write this story #and when i say love i mean all love. not just romantic love. #which is why i tagged aplatonic too #while i mostly see this trope in terms of romantic love i think there's something to be said about #telling stories where people are perfectly content alone too #it doesn't have to be sad or pathetic to not have friends by choice. they dont have to be a miserable person to not have friends #i think we need more variety in stories where it shows people just content in their lack of love or relationships in all shapes #not everyone wants a family not everyone wants friends not everyone wants a partner not everyone wants love #some of us are content without. that should be explored without the need to fix it.

The fanon interpretation of Vox and Valentino's relationship really is just Satan and Saddam Hussein in South Park huh.

#which I don't think is necessarily wrong? #but I DO think there's one key difference: Vox hits back #like obvs u should leave ur partner if they start hitting u even if you can fight back #but I just don't think Vox is as powerless in this situation as fans initially thought he would be lol #which means their relationship will probably end up more on the “fun to watch” side of the toxic scale #that one dynamic where they just shove two shitty guys together not bcuz they work but bcuz theyd be a fuckin trainwreck y'know? #either way I still think Vox should dump him :) #hazbin hotel #hazbin vox #hazbin valentino #staticmoth #south park #sp satan #I am not. I am not tagging this as Saddam Hussein. I refuse. #I don't have a tag for early morning ramblings so Im just gonna use the late night one #cuz tHIS IS MY BLOG I DO WHAT I WANT!!!!!!! #late night ramblings

When you’re reading the latest chapter of @coffeebanana’s awesome fic everything i know (brings me back to us) and suddenly realize that Marinette lying about Gabe to Adrien at the end of S5 is just a repeat of the scarf incident in S1:

#miraculous ladybug #ml s5 spoilers #marinette dupain-cheng #adrien agreste #adrienette #ml fic #ladrien #<- this tag’s for the fic which y’all should definitely read! #but both times are just mari hiding the truth from adrien to perpetuate the belief that his father cares about him #which really highlights how her perspective on adrien has not changed in any substantial way since origins #aka adrien is still a damsel to be protected rather than a partner to be relied upon #proving further how central a reveal/ladynoir is to produce a healthy love square dynamic! #in this essay i will

Are Marcus Antonius and his friend in love? Cuz... If he touched Marcus Antonius' lips, what does that mean?

I don't think I've drawn Antony with a friend on this account before, do you mean Octavian? for me, they hate each other, but there's an overlapping area where resentment, desire, violence, and power come into play, and past that: familiarity, only it's the kind of familiarity where the pitch was turned up too high and it becomes claustrophobic.

if Antony shoves his fingers into Octavian's mouth, it's coming from a place of erotic debasement and power play, but he's also giving Octavian the opportunity to bite his fingers off. If Octavian kisses Antony, it's less a display of romance and more of a desire to consume, to conquer, to bite, to cannibalize.

They can't get what they want from each other, and in the end they're too similar and too different so it becomes absolutely unbearable.

#ask tag #....does antony have friends. he has partners for sure but does he have. friends. #huh. i'll have to think on that for awhile. idk if i should count lucilius or not. #anyway they hate each other (to me) (which is also romantic) but they were kind of married (through octavia) and also divorced

also it really is shit how several popular bloggers were like. Horribly bigoted towards ace people when it was cool, but once it stopped being trendy they 1) deleted those posts so receipts couldn't be pulled 2) maybe put up claimed "redactions" or said "omg its been years if you really wanna know wether i still hate those people dm me" but never apologized for their behavior lmao. I don't think any of the people who did that actually changed, I just think they know it's not such an acceptable/fun target to bully anymore. It's really sick how that type of bullying was encouraged for years and how few people repented for their behavior.

#cipher talk #H*stlerose and lgbt*nis in particular come to mind #x***guiw*ng too tbh #They did a weird heel turn of being normal about ace people to insinuating most ace people are homophobic and self centered #And that believing a society which strictly controls your sex life doesn't like you not having sex and may punish you is a 'white thing' #As though the pressures around sex are not MORE strongly felt by PoC #I don't wanna say 'imagine if there was a mass movement of people who said they hated gay men and homophobia wasn't real and they never #Apologized or faced consequences' bc I know that exists. It's on Twitter and it's why I'm cagey around how people on tumblr say f*g #(I do mean like other lgbtq people tbc) #But like it's ridiculously fucked up that it happened. That people allowed it. That most people have forgotten about it either bc #They were targeted or bc they did the targeting #Remember when a real human being who had recently come out as ace was murdered for rejecting a man and people turned her into a fucking #Discourse topic? And posted decapitation photos claiming they were of her in tags about ace people/spread rumors about that? #I do. I fucking do. #Remember all the discussions about how 'denying your partner sex' was abuse? How ace people were p*dos for forcing discussions of sexuality #Onto kids? How wanting non alcoholic non sex forward spaces- something ND people and addicts also discussed- became a fucking crime? #Because ace people also thought it was cool? #Like g-d I know this was painful and I'm not saying we should do discourse again but forgetting all that isn't helpful either

Stacy's brother Au

but it's just a crack au where Ginny "loses" like 4 bfs in a row to her brothers just to realize she doesn't even like boys

#Aka #Ginny Weasley #being a matchmaker for her siblings by accident #and then she ends up with like Luna or Hermione or something #i dont really vibe with using loses in this context but i cant think of another word that fits right now #obv because i am me i was mostly thinking about #percy weasley #being one of the ones that end up with a new bf #i wont say who i was considering for that because its kinda weird even for me i think #in the scenario in my head it was in addition to Oliver which he already had because i think it would be even funnier #ginny thinking it obviously can't happen again because now all her siblings have partners so she should be safe right? no not at all #i also just love Polyam!Percy so im biased #perciver #i really got to start combining all of my thoughts in the post itself instead of in the tags #this is mostly a joke because dont take me seriously i'm sleep deprived and don't know what im talking about

showing my growth by rejecting the “every ship gets happily married and becomes wonderful parents to lovely children” mindset and admitting that many pairings should just not be parents

#long gone are my days of woobifying shadow and sanitizing sonadow down to aw cute hedgehogs and one of them is traumatized #they are RIVALS and shadow will never be that lovey dovey with sonic even if they have been dating for 30 years thats just not who he is #they can find happiness/contentment in each other like i imagined but that sprinkle of toxicity would never rlly go away #and again even if theyre perfectly happy existing like that. not a good environment for a kid! #i dont even imagine them getting married anymore like i still like my idea of the ''cat orphanage w a chao garden'' house that they live in #but they wouldnt be married. they'd be partners and sonic would live there. but he'd ''live there'' in the same way he lives with tails #in that. its a place to come back home to when needed but a lot of the time hes just elsewhere exploring and having adventures and stuff #and shadow would probably tag along on a lot of these adventures. but not all of them #also feeds into part of my idea for the future which has always been present which is just. sonic being romantically involved w a couple #other ppl (knuckles for example) #those relationships dont have a label theyre just friends and then sometimes theyll kiss or go on dates or something #he and shadow are partners. thats concrete. everything else is just fluid/undefined (also should clarify that this is in like a poly way lol #shadow is aware of these relationships and has no problem with them and sonic knows that) #anyways i didnt mean to ramble but i have been thinking about this recently #how i'd modify my older idea of sonadow in the future #thats the end. ps once again promoting the poly sonic agenda. if you look at him and you dont think hes poly. youre just wrong im sorry #(excluding aroace sonic enjoyers for obvious reasons lol) #serena.txt

Do q!jaiden and q!Roier have a duo name? They should. I'm used to calling them the familoier but that includes bobby and mostly frames them as Roier's family rather then a pair of characters as a duo in their own right.

#qsmp #raqis's ramblings #I've heard them floated around but their doesnt seem to be a consensus #i ask because the pair of them are so important to me #they have such great character dynamics #like. Roier is lonely because his friends left and spreen betrayed him. jaiden amd bobby come along. #jaiden is worried about taking up space in his home but he's so excited to make it for her #roier is town flirt who has all these romantic/flirty conmections with all these characters but his partner #his closest friend and confidant and most stable relationship is this platonic relationship #its so good thenatically and its so sweet #and there should be a tag under which to talk about it more

lilith deserves to get her back blown out any time she wants actually it's what she deserves

the problem is that she never asks for what she wants because she's exquisitely repressed so her partners do have to drag her desires out of her. it's fun and they'll gladly do it but good god it's a lot of work.

#which of her partners should blow her back out I don't know which one I'm feelin today y'know #maybe camila I'm feeling like we don't have enough top camila in the tag recently #I can fix that

so maybe im a little obsessed with pitanui dolls

every day i am tempted to get more‚‚

#i sort of impulse bought sorey and mikleo recently sjxkd #i had to buy them from two different websites and it was so hard to find listings that weren't out of stock #theres exactly one of each on ebay and sorey is over $100 before shipping and uh. no‚‚ #but they are reunited!! #do not separate them #jade is the only one without a partner but he has the seat of honor on a cat plush which surely makes up for it #if there was a peony plush id buy it just for him #jay yells #should i tag fandoms #woe pitanui pics be upon thee kinda deal #sure why not lets go #tales of #tales of the abyss #tales of zestiria #sormik #like i said dont separate them #tgcf #hualian #it's not spam if it includes what i say it does ✨✨

HII buncha tropes for you!!

- accidental baby/child acquisition

- does swordfighting count? i think thats a trope. swordfighting <3

- timeloops

- coffee shop au

- only one bed

accidental baby acquisition: probably not very likely to write this... it would have to be a very specific ship bc most of my ships i don't think should ever be parents, or they would never want to be parents. i could do it with zukka. i could do it with satosugu. actually.. world's best dads au IS basically this trope so. in that case, definitely more likely but only in that specific scenario sfdgfhgjhk but with most other ships if i were to write it, it would have to be temporary accidental baby acquisition

swordfighting: as much as i love a good swordfight, i am. so bad at writing them. i'm bad at writing fight scenes in general tbh fdgfhgjhk technically i did write ones between maki & itadori and maki & megumi in my nbmk royalty au but it was pretty short and vague on the details.. ships that would work good for this i think would be zukka (ofc), suegiku (ofc), and royalty au itafushi.. which is probably who i would be most likely to write for. i wanna write another fic for that au so bad

time loops: i'm hesitant to write a time loop bc i feel like it would get too repetitive.. i do love time loops but i've actually never read a time loop fic sfdgfhgk if i did write one i think it would be fun to stick dazai in a time loop. just to watch him suffer <3

coffee shop au: i don't actually think i've ever written one of these, but i do think it would be fun!! i came up with an idea for a tsumikirara one awhile ago and also i have a tachigin one swirling around in my mind lowkey.. omg also i started writing a satosugu one last year but it's only got like. one scene so far sfdgfhjh

only one bed answered here

#i'm very picky which ships i want to give kids to. i don't think anyone in bsd should have kids or would want kids besides kuni #whose partners..... shouldn't have kids and don't particularly want them either #oh and fukuzawa ofc is good with kids but he's already got like eight #ty for the ask!! #louie tag #ask game

hi hi vanessa! what anime have u been watching recently? looking for recs to kill some time (may or may not also be for fetish purposes ehehe)

Hi anon!!! This is such a fun question, and I'm sad to say you caught me at a time where I have a very boring answer to it T.T It's already late April, but I've finished a total of two (😭) animes this year. (So few, I know! I wish I had more to recommend you 💔)

Between work and everything else, it's just been a hectic time... (I also have a couple I have to get around to finishing 😭😭 I've been putting off watching the last few eps of J//JK s2, because the friends that I've watched the rest of s2 with have been busy. I also started Fri//eren back in January; I just haven't found time to get back to it 😵‍💫)

I did finish Cher//y Magic! 🍒 (Though if you're sending me this message, I feel like you probably have already seen it around?). It's such a cute, fluffy romance/slice of life, that—despite its fantastical premise—is actually quite grounded, imo... a very cozy watch overall <3

I've also been wanting to watch Shi//guang Dai//liren (Link Click) at some point! I was also talking about watching Sa//saki to Mi//yano with a friend (if you're reading this, hi!)

Anime-wise, I have nothing to offer you on the snz front 🙇‍♀️ I have been very bad about setting aside time for myself to watch things. BUT if you ever watch any of the aforementioned shows, and want to talk abt them with someone... or if you want to watch/read something with me book-club-style... please feel free to hit me up :D

#ask #okay no one should read these tags but #i recently finished reading th//e su//nshin//e c//our//t which is like a spinoff for a trilogy that was written 10 years ago #i read the original trilogy way back #my relationship with the series is too complicated to get into. i'll just say: if anyone writes anything for that series i will be 👁️👁️ #SPRINTING OVER TO READ. esp if it's for j//ean. but i don't expect any interest #i feel like i have been walled off from enjoying media in a snz sense... or even just hyperfixating on things w the intensity i used to 😭 #and that's been true for awhile #i think a part of it is that i am already spread too thin over all the things i have to do atm #though maybe i'm just getting older haha #and i think a small part of me is reserving emotional space for y + v because i REALLY WANT TO HIT 75K WORDS FOR THEM 😭😭😭 #i am singleminded i know... & bad at emotionally context switching #as a side note. i recently started watching re//born r//ich w my partner! it's not an anime but i loooveeeee a well written smart mc >:) #okay i think i am done now... very sorry for rambling 🙏 thank you for the excellent question anon
