i just finished alice in borderland s2 and im dehydrated from crying, still kinda confused and extremely in love with aguni

#and also chishiya #and I mean romantically #and kinda sexually shhhhhh #but like god idk why it’s a bald thick middle aged Japanese man that’s no where near my scope of attraction #and yet I want to marry him and settle down and have 3 kids and a house in the suburbs #but also fuck that was incredible hands down one of the best shows ever #this is why Netflix need to start taking manga and giving it accurate well written and produced and high budget adaptations #that have a great team that appreciate the source material and elevate it #like that’s what you can do and it’s incredible #alice in borderland

"kabru doesn't even like laios"

meanwhile, kabru:

#i dont even mean this as a romantic thing necessarily its just people do not understand kabrus relationship w laios at all #he was chasing after laios the whole time how could you say he hates or doesnt like laios #labru #kabru #laios touden #dungeon meshi #anyway the characters and relationships in this series are so good and so complex but ppl are incapable of seeing past surface level #and its frustrating

Okay but Donna. DONNA. She gets to live her life with both her husband AND her platonic life partner. She'd wanted to be with him forever and now she CAN. She gets both a permanent romantic and permanent platonic partner. Who like each other. Who don't resent the other's existence. Do you understand how MONUMENTAL that is???

#doctor who #dw spoilers #i can't explain it very well #but as someone who has had both romantic partners and platonic partners at the same time #this means so much to me #that it's not seen as weird or negative #and that the doctor and shaun get on #they're family too #i just #AHSSJDJSK #it means EVERYTHING #donna noble #fourteenth doctor #david tennant #shaun temple #catherine tate

I know Valentine's Day was two days ago, but I have a slow brain okay.

Anyway, just like everyone else I just want to marvel at how perfect Alastor's Valentine's Day merch is.

Look at this, look at him. Everyone else's pinup was sexy and they had revealing outfits. But Alastor? Someone at this app said that he is a modern equivalent of a Victorian woman showing her ankle. I truly love it, he undone his bow tie and that's it, that's the most he's showing, his neck without a bow. He isn't even in any sexy pose either. He kinda looks as if he was laying on a couch and someone told him to pose.

And then his Valentine's card? It's not about love or anything like this, this is about friendship, about platonic love. It literally says 'On a day devoted to lovers I am glad to have you as a friend' and I'm over the moon with it.

As a fellow asexual I am beyond happy to see that none of Alastor's merch was romantic or sexual.

It means a lot to me and I just wanted to say it.

#hazbin hotel #alastor #hazbin hotel alastor #alastor the radio demon #asexual alastor #aromantic alastor #aroace alastor #aromantic #asexual #Tbh Alastor made me realise that I don't rly understand the concept of romantic love #I know that he is a serial killer cannibal manipulative psychopath but he means a lot to me

#vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun #trigun maximum #ruporas art #oughrhhhh finally posting this here..... Very Romancey very Cutesy Very what do you call it... Indulging #for the longest time i debated on whether to post this comic at all on my socials - for some reason this was almost the limit to how far i #could push a romantic alternative that cusps ooc-ness for vw but then i ultimately decided its Fine. i couldv made it much more unbearable. #someone on twit qrt this with “vash is such a loser” which means i havent lost my way completely yet so its ok #(sidenote) script is a bit old !! bc this was meant to be a part two to an old comic..! the first kiss comic from feb #it branched off quite a bit that listing this as an actual part two would be kind of awkward now - but that was the initial intention #anyway. please enjoy! #long post

hnhnhnhnhngghhg I just want Alastor to start being pulled into the Hotel's nonsense more. That stupid attention starved lonely asshole needs to be folded into the cringefail found family against his will.

Alastor being aroace + overpowered + creepy overlord has probably completely solidified in his mind the belief that the only way he can gain human interaction is by being annoying and forcing his presence on other people.

I NEED him to get snapped in half like a twig in some fight and Charlie going nephilim protective mode and bridal carry him back to the hotel like: Oh no our favourite creepy deer boy, we can't have our happy family without our favourite creepy deer! Get loved you idiot.

#hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel alastor #not a ship this is a platonic bridal carry #alastor getting a family without having to compromise his aceness is actually so important to me #I mean I do like shipping him romantically in some fics but in canon I just really want him to get friends

i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as a binary i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as a sliding scale of "less" to "more" i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as the only two options i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as significantly different things i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as all encompassing i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as the two halves of a shallow concept of love that doesn't actually encompass anything at all i think we need to overhaul every popular conception about "types" of love so we can talk about things that are real and true for once

#in conclusion. alloromantics stfu up about love challenge #hate using the term platonic so much actually. cause even if it has a definition that is what it Should mean #you know that people don't actually think about it that way. #you say 'platonic' and you might Mean an all-encompassing love. but how it's interpreted is shorthand for 'just friends' #so like. the word platonic isn't Really for me is it :| #platonic gets presented like a consolation prize for aro people no matter where you turn #but fundamentally rn it comes from a concept of platonic and romantic as the two kinds of love #where platonic is for family and friends and nothing More. #and romantic is for the relationships that overhaul all else #so 'aros can still feel platonic love!' ok. what if it's not platonic as you know it though. #'oh then it's romantic!' k but it's not romantic either. will your framework explode if i say that #'aros can still feel platonic love!' why do you say that like it's a second-best option and expect me to identify with it... #again. platonic might Actually mean smth i experience. but it won't be Heard that way. do you get what i'm saying #i don't experience 'platonic blurring into romantic' cause i will never feel romantic love actually. those lines are still blurring though #ummmmm in conclusion. killing and biting #aromantic #aromanticism #aroace #arospec #talking

not normal about orpheus and eurydice. you loved someone so much it opened the stones of the underworld. so much that death had to listen. so much that everything stopped for your love. so much that you turned around. so much that even when you did wrong. she forgave you.

#orpheus and eurydice #hadestown #maybe #maybe not #greek mythology #mythology #i think loving someone that much is the most human thing you can do #i think that’s what it means to be a person #not romantically #not necessarily. even a friend. a family member #orpheus #eurydice #hades #persephone #shrike speaks #taking back what i said about love making you human. it doesn’t #but i think it’s a beautiful experience. #so. much happiness is wished upon the loveless aspecs i spoke to a while back :)

an aro-ace's love letter to love.

(the title "Laozi's bowl" is in reference to the famous quote by Chinese philosopher Laozi who said "It is the empty space which makes the bowl useful.")

#it can be lonely sometimes being aroace. but ive somehow made a career out of writing romance stories #ive made peace with myself #and what my identity likely means for my future #im fine with it but i cant help poke fun at the irony #to be a hopeless romantic and also aroace is a fun cocktail #aromantic #asexual #stillindigo art

Honestly what I want more of is Ed embracing his softer side in an awkward way like the breakfast in bed scene 💕

#blackbonnet #our flag means death #ofmd spoilers #ofmd #my draws #gentlebeard #edward teach #stede bonnet #ed x stede #he manifested the sun for his prince #I mean stede does the earnest whimsy but ed just probably tries to sort it out by romanticshit he’s heard or read in stories and try it out #he’s a real romantic I’m sure of it #once he knows stedes all in anyway
